THE SOUTH'S OUTLOOK
It Needs Far Better Roads and
Better Schools.
AND SMALL INDUSTRIES
A Conservative Yet I'rmnhiiiK View
ol the Ulorlont of
Tliln Section.
From lilt' Baltimore Sun.
While the election of Mr. Cleveland
and the success of the Democratic
party promise the happiest results for
every section ami portion of tile coun
try, the section which has the most
occasion to rejoice and be thankful is I
undoubtedly the South. Even if the
Democrat / .rty should fail, which
we are far from apprehending, to carry
out the measures necessary to afford
positive relief to the depressed indus
tries and material interests of the
North and West, the negative relief
assured to the South by the cessation
of Republican rule can hardly be over
estimated. It means the removal of a
perpetual menace, hanging like a
sword over the heads of the Southern
people, of federal interference with
legal progress and improvement and
of a return to negro domination in
the black distrists.
The Southern people have emerged
from the depression and gloom of the
“reconstruction” era and of “carpet
bag” rule. The enactment of a force bill
threatened to plunge them anew into
all the miseries incident to a fresh
struggle for pollitical supremacy
between the two races whose interest
it is to live together In peace and con
cord. The absolute guaranty that no
force bill can be passed for four years j
to come, and if not within the next
four years, then, in all human proba
bility, never passed, lifts an immense
load from the minds and hearts of the
Southern people.
It does more. It opens the way to
that inflow of Northern capital and of
Northern immigration which the
South needs for its future develop
ment and prosperity, and .which the
uncertainties of the political sitnation
under Republican rule were calcu
lated to prevent. The South needs a
diversified industry—needs manufac ‘
Hires and the development of its min- 1
oral wealth. No exclusively agricul
tural community can ever ho a rich
community, and espei ially if its agri,
culture is limitied to a few staples-
The abundant crops or high prices of
one seasch are offset by the scanty
crops or low p ices of another, and
and communities, like individuals,
realize the unwisdom of having too
many eggs in One basket . But to the
South the multiplication of industries
and the development of varied sources
of wealth means vastly more even
than the mere increrase of wealth. It
is the bringing of that section of the
country more closely in sympathy
with all other sections and replacing

a supposed antagonism of interests by
identity of interests. The mining, agri
cultural and manufacturing south .
will be united in interest with the
mining, agricultural and manufactur
ing north and west. Immigration
will How in as well as capital, not nec
essarily from Europe, but, which will
be infinitely better, from the Eastern
and Middle States.
All this will be the natural and nor
mal result of the assurance of political
and social tranquility At the south
consequent upon ‘.he withdrawal of j
force bill threats and republican sec
tional machinations. For the south- 1
ern people the most precious fruit of j
democratic success is the liberty to .
work out their own material and po- |
litical salvation without restraint or ■
interference. Os course, there is a
corresponding responsibility imposed
upon the southern people, of which
we have no fear that they will fail to
lie mindful. This winter many, if not t
most, of the southern legislatures are
in session—many of them elected
in November. Upon these legislatures
is imposed the duty of making
the most of the opportunities for
progress and improvement which the
result of the November elections
throughout the Union has opened to
them. The true policy of the south is
to invite both capital and immigration
from the north, and to offer every in
ducement to both come and to lake
up a residence in the south.
The northern immigrant who set
tles in the south today and no longer
comes with sentiments antagonistic to
the social institutions <sf the south,
for the social institution which pro
voked his antagonism has disappeared.
He comes to identify himself with the .
people and the soil, and to bring with I
him not only his habits of industry, '
of enterprise and thrift but also the ,
ideas and habits of a law-abiding |
American citizen. He is a settler in-;
finitely to be preferred to the class of
immigrants from abroad which cer
tain European governments are only
too glad to dump upon our soil, and
whose coming it would seem a wiser
policy to discourage than to invite.
The prartical legislation in the
south which is needed to foster and
encourage the right sort of immigra
tion, and with it the investment of
northern capital, should have for its
primary objects the establishment of
good roads, good schools and the
prompt and orderly administration of ,
justice. More than any other three
things within the power of a state leg
islature to foster and promote these
three things are necessary to build up
and secure the material prosperity of
a community. Good newspapers and
good churches wid inevitably follow |
along, and will do the rest without
the help of the legislature.
It is to these practical objects that |
the southern legislatures now, or soon ,
Ito be, in session should add »'SB their
| efforts rather than to -tieh ex peri-!
ments and crotchets in legislation as '
unfortunately seem t» engage
the attention of the p >p'> ist legisla
ture of South Carolina, it is some
' what curious at this day to see the
legislature of what was ove the most
conservative and old tashioned state
in the Union endeavoring io improve I
■ upon the mast extreme p .»h bitory [
. laws ever e mcoeted by a Maine nr a
Kansas legislature aad ttic wildest j
crotchets of granger statesmanship in
the northwest.
For a southern stale to try to be
more like Maine or Kansas than
Maine and Kansas are themselvbs, we
are sure, is not the way to build up
southern prosperity, and will not in
vite capital or immigration even from
those. But for sober, sensible, practi
cal legislation, such as will assimilate
business ami > x'ial conditions ami ad
vantages in the south to those which
exist in the most prosperous and best
governed middle and northern states,
the next four years offer an opportu
nity which has not existed since the
war. And the good work which can
be accomplished during these four
years may be made to stand forever.
THE “PANSY” SOUVENIR.
If You Have no* Keeeivid it. it is Your
Own Fault.
Hundreds of the subscribers to The
Argus have availed themselves of the
Christmas offer to secure one of the
exquisite oil pictures entitled “A Yard
of Pansies,” but no doubt a number
have been disappointed in not receiv
the same. The directions were not
carefully followed as published in The
Argus of December 24th.‘ The pub
lisher, \V. Jennings Demorest, 25 East
Fourteenth Street, New York, who
supplies the readers of The Argus
with the “Pansies,” has an office sys
tem as perfect as thirty year’s experi
ence can make it, and each request
for the “Pansies,” accom pan fed by six
cents in postage and the name and
address 5f the reader, was filled the
j day it was received by Mr. Demorest.
I He has received a large number of let
ters from our readers containing noth
ing but the clipping from this paper,
I without any name or address where “A
I Yard of Pansies” was to be sent.
Where the full name and address is
not given, it is impossible to properly
mail the souvenir.
In this regard Mr. Demorest writes
The Argus :
“Those who have received the Yard
of Pansies will no doubt appreciate
your generosity and enterprise in pre
senting them with such a handsome
souvenir. Those who have failed to
receive the “Pansies” may possibly be
displeased before the fault is remedied ;
but after allowing a sufficient time for
the possible delav in the postoffice,
we shall be pleased to have persons
advise us of the non-arrival, so that in
the end everybody shall be satisfied.”
“Respectfully,
“W. Jennings Demorest,
