The Sidewalk Snow Nuisance.
A MOVEMENT is said to be on
fool in WuHhiiiKlon looking
, to leglhlution that vlll provide-
for tire cleaning of side
walks by the .street-cleaning bureau.
Ttcccut experience in this city with the
beautiful convinces one that a system
of this hind will be the only thins
that will ever abate the nuisance of
ley or slush-covered walks following a
snow storm. Notwithstanding the
strict orders from tho police depart
ment regard hip tho removal of snow
from walks, the conditions have boon
such for the past few days that the
average pedestrian has found it safer
to take the middle of the road upon
most of our thoroughfares. The property-owner
who Hve3 on his lot has his
walk cleared, because ho and his fam
ily must got in and out with least prac
ticable difllculty. The property-owner
who docs not is apt to take very little
interest in the sidewalk question. lie
is not lying awake o' nights to worry
shout his neighbor's wet feet, or the
bedraggled skirts of his neighbor's
wife. In most instances, the owner of
a vacant lot would rather take chances
of a fine, which is seldom imposed,
than pay for having his walk shoveled,
v.nd many property-owners on tho
principal streets of the city have
reatec! the orders of the authorities
upon this subject with contempt.
A certain clement exists, and in the
heart of the most expensive residence
districts of Seranton, that lias ap
parently no regard for health or coin
Tort of neighbors. The man who ne
glects to keep his sidewalk clean In
winter will, as a rule, in summer time
instruct his servants to surreptitiously
dump garbage and rubbish upon va
cant lots that may be located In his
vicinity rather than pay for having
the 3tuft conveyed to the crematory.
There seems no way to roach people
of these propensities save by munici
pal 'control of street and walk cleaning
and tho removal of garbage and ashes.
When the citizen of economical turn
realizes that ho will be taxed the same
whether the refuse of his table is car
ried nwav by the ash muii or dumped
by tho side of the load at nightfall,
much will bo accomplished in the way
of Improving the sanitary conditions
in certain sections of the city.
Some public ofliclals never realize the
force of public opinion until It strikes
them In the solar plexus.
Permanent Prosperity.
T i HERE are seldom conditions
in any walk of life that are
sutlielently brilliant to si
lence the Individual of mel
ancholy turn who can Usually scent dis
aster approaching on every breeze, and
notwithstanding the' bright prospects
in tho business world there are many
who contend' that tills Is simply a
period of Inllntlou and that depression
will follow. The Washington Post in
commenting upon tho prophesies of this
class says: Judging the future by the
past, but Ignoring differences in con
ditions, a great many Intelligent nnd
thoughtful persons mo apprehensive of
a collapse of this country's amazing
industrial prosperity. Because, In the
past, perlo'da oE-unuBUnl activity and
praspjarU;;, havn soon given away to
periods of depression, tho worst times
quickly succeeding tho best, tho lin
presslou has become widely prevalent
that hard times aro near at hand.
If you ask any of the exploiters of
this gloomy view to point to Indications
of coming relapse, tiiey can only refer
to tho past. They admit that all tho
surfueo Indications to continued- pros
perity nic, present. They find tlie-mlnes,
mills riulways all the appliances of
production nnd distribution running
at full cupneity mid tho most important
of our manufacturing plants with or
ders .boohed for a year ahead. They
admit that our finances are In Incom
parably better condition than oyer be
fore n,nd more healthy than those of
any .oilier people, They see thut pot
only he nutioual treasury, but the
banker-itr abundantly supplied with
money. ,1'hey know thnt. In financial
circle there is 'no luck of confidence,
nndJjat any enterprise which prom
ises fcilr returns finds capital to back
it. Tho savings banks, with their
enormous and swelling accumulations
of deposits and' and Increase in tho
number of depositors, uttest the pros
perity of labor, Tho building and
loan associations show unexampled
growth nnd solidity. Indeed, nil tho

especially among lenders In great nf-
fnirs, there Is lio fear of a coming
crash, for they know thnt the conditions
which facilitated the rapid alteration 'of
prospoilty and panic In past times have
ceased to exist and edit not be lesur-rcoted-
except through years of famine
or a succession ot practically Impos
sible follies.
That each and nil of the Industries
nnd material Interests will be equally
and Increasingly prosperous, no sano
person expects. There must occasional
ly be reflex waves. Events In other
parts of the World have much to do
with our affairs, und It were folly to
expect that Influence to be uniformly
favorable.
lint It Is a fact that wo arc the
solldcnt of all the nations, not only in
the extent of variety of our natural
resources, but In oppportunlty nnd cap
acity for their development und
ultlllKiitlou.
In ft few weeks hence the men who
fall to obey the municipal order regard
ing the cleaning of snow from their
sidewalks will no longer need to look
sheepish,
A Wonderful Story of Progress.
THE PHOSPEniTY ot nil parts
of our country should bo a
matter of pride to every
citizen. The prosperity of a
section like the South, once ravaged
by wnr and long dormant under the
numbing Influence of war losses and tho
predjudlces arising therefrom, should
bo doubly welcome. In a recent letter
to the Baltimore News, niclmrd II. Ed
monds, editor of the Manufacturers'
Record, and one ot the ablest Statis
ticians In tho country, presents vividly
a most encouraging statistical picture
of the South's growth between 1S90 and
1000. Hero are some glimpses at It:
"Twenty years ago the total value ot
the manufactured products of the 11
Southern states was $i;o,000,000; by 1S00
this had increased to $917,000,000, and
the present census shows a. total for
WOO of $1,100,000,000. To tho value of the
manufactured products ot the South
should be added $120,000,000 as tho value
of the mineral products of .that section,
making a total of manufactured and
mineral output of nearly $1,600,000,000.
Tho remarkable advancement indicat
ed by these striking figures Is seen in
every line of Industry. Twenty years
ago the South made 307,000 tons of pig
Iron; its production now exceeds 2,000,
000 tons a year, and this will be very
largely increased by the improvement
which has been made to the many fur
naces throughout the South, Increasing
their output, as well as by the new fur
naces now under construction. But the
South, no longer content to ship all of
its pig iron to the. North, to the West
and to Europe, is beginning to turn it
into the finished product, and the great
stell plant at,13irmlngham, representing
an investment of over $2,000,000, with
steel-wire works recently completed and
a steel-rail mill about ready to start
into operation, and steel-car-building
plant now under construction, will
bring about the sumo great diversity in
Iron-manufacturing interests as wo now
have hi Pittsburg and elsewhere in the
East. The problems connected with
the profitable development of the iron
and steel interests of the South have
been solved The long uphill light for
the necessary capital and skill to profit
ably utilize the resources of that sec
tion, where nature has made it pos
sible to produce Iron nt a lower cost
than elsewhere in the United States, if
not in tho world, has been won. Hence
forward, the substantial progress in
the metallurgical advancement of the
South, whether in the making of pig
iron, the manufacture of steel rails, of
steel wire and wire nails, and the build
ing of ships, will go forward with
amazing rapidity.
"What has been accomplished In iron
nnd steel has been dono even-more suc
cessfully Iji the cotton-mill business.
Twenty years ago the South had In
vested in cotton mills a capital of $21,
000,000, with 000,000 spindles In opera
tion. In 1S90 it had 1,700,000 spindles,
with a capital of $01,000,000. At the
present timo it hns over 0,000,000 spind
les, and the capital Invested In cotton
mills Is upwards of 150,000,000. The
consumption of cotton in Southern
mills has advanced from 1SS.00O bales
20 years ago to 1,600,000 bales last year.
As rapid as this growth has been, and
probably as rapid as such a business
could be judiciously developed, the 'pos
sible extension of cotton-manufactur
ing lu the South Is practically without
limit. There aro In tho world about
103,000,000 spindles, representing a capi
tal of $2,000,000,000. Tho South furnishes
three-fourths or the world's supply of
cotton, or, say, enough cotton to run
80,000,000 out of tho 103,000,000 spindles,
and yet it lias Itself only 0,000,000 spind
les In operation. So long us capital
can be provided and laborers secured,
this Industry can expand without
reaching it limit of profitable operation,
since thero is no 'reason why the South
should not manufacture at home the
bulk ot tho cotton which it supplies to
tho mills ot tho world. Uut thu world's
demand for cotton Is growing so rapid
ly that when tho timo comes Southern
inlllsslmll consume 10,000,000 or 12,000,000
bales, equal to the present crop, tho
world will then bo requiring for con
sumption 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 bales.
"Coincident with tho development of
tho cotton-mill industry hns been the
creation ot tho cotton-oil business,
which has grown from 40 mills, with a
capital of $3,B0O,O0O 20 years ago, to COO
mills, with a capital of liver $50,000,000
ut present, During the sumo timo tho
farm products ot the South hnvo In
creased In value from $370,000,000 In 18S0
to about $1,MO,000,000 last year,
"In 1SS0 tho South mined 0,000,000 tons
of cont last year its output was over
60,000,000 tons. Then its production ot
phosphate rock was 100,000 tons; hist
year It was 1,500.000 tons. Then Us. pro
ductlon of petroleum was 179,000 bar
rels; last yenr It wus 13,000,000 barrels,
and this quantity will ba doubled,
trebled und possibly quadrupled by
Texas nlono within the next year or
two,
In this period, in which tho South
has been making an advancement that
has commanded tho attention of the
world, it has, In reality, only com
menced the work of real development.
Tho progress which it bus mude, so far
as ft relates to tho future, Is Infinitely
greater In tho experience of Its people
In Industrial Hues than in tho actual
results which can be shown by figures,.
Twenty years ngo that section hnd, to
begin Its Industrial career .with a total
capital ot only $250,000,000 Invented In
manufacturing, or only about M per
cent, more for the Whole South, Mary
land Included, thnn lit now Invested In
manufacturing In Maryland ulone, Its
people were practically without Indus
trial skill, it was without cnpltnl tit
homo and discredited In tho financial
centres of tho world because tho finan
cial powers ot this country and ot
Europe were concentrating their forces
upon the upbuilding ot the West to
make valuable the vast railroad sys
tems constructed by land-grant aid. It
thus had to begin Its Industrial- up
building without skill, without capital
and without strong friends In tho finan
cial centres of the country.
"In tho twenty years which havo
ehipsed, and the story ot whoso pro
gress Is told In these census bulletins,
tho South has reached a point where it
Is now prepared to begin Its rcnl ad
vancement. It hns not yet scratched
tho ground compared with what Its
future shall be. It Is only when wo
study in the light of tho official reports
the progress of tho South that wo be
gin to see the fulfillment of thoso who
hnvo for yenra been predicting tho
coming pre-eminence of that section In
conl and iron, and cotton and lumber,
and now, by renson of the grent
'gusher' of Tcxns, In oil. Laboring
under tho discouraging conditions which
tho South faced 20 years ago, seriously
retarded In nil its advancement by the
town-lot boom which swept over that
section, as over the rest ot the world,
In 1889 and 1890, and by the great de
pression which followed, the South to
day stands on solid ground, ready to
go forward in a. development commen
surate In magnitude wftlir tho un
matched natural advantages with
which that section has been favored."
In that progress the South will havo
tho heartiest God speed of all the rest
of the country. It means n new era for
all.
The recent order Issued by the presi
dent forbidding all olllcers and em
ployes of tho government In any capac
ity, either directly or indirectly, indi
vidually or through associations, from
soliciting an increnso of nay or from
attempting to secure legislation in
their own interest, save through the
heads of departments under which they
serve, has caused consternation at
"Washington nnd in other cities where
government employes are numerous.
Members of congress, however, will no
doubt us a rule hall the order with de
light. There are many associations
formed to promote the welfare of gov
ernment employes as well as lobbies
that are active in the promotion of
measures that will Increase the pay of
those in the government service, and it
is said that 0110 of the greatest trials
of public men Is the never-ending de
mand for promotion upon part of thoso
who are in tho service of the govern
ment. An exchange has called attention to
tho fact that independence and boorish
ness are abstract nouns upon the sig
nlflcanco of which somo Americans are
confused. The specimen of independ
ence given by Mr. Hitchcock of opera
box: fame In New York, who lias hap
pily subsided, has many imitators
about the country who evidently be
lieve that tho proper way to show
patriotism is to insult any representa
tive of a. foreign power who may visit
this country no matter if his mission
is one of friendship. This sort of wild
eyed independence fortunately is not
taken by other nations as representing
the sentiments of tho masses, but It Is
nevertheless annoying, and should 'not
be encouraged. It is probable that
Americans and American institutions
wilt survive tho visit of Prince Henry
nnd will also be able to bear up under
tho dispatch of tin embassy to witness
the coronation exercises at London.
The Archduchess Elizabeth Marie ot
Austria, granddaughter of Emperor
Francis Joseph, and tho princess, who
gave up her right to tho crown of
Austria to marry the man she loves,
declares herself to bo serenely happy.
She says she does not for an instant
regret her choice. It is noticed that the
sentiments of yuung brides are identi
cal the world over.
The Boston society circus fad bids
fair to spread all over tho country. As
It has been demonstrated that outsiders
can occasionally Improve upon tho

doubt society will make a good show

HOW OFTEN A TEACHER MAY
HAVE A BEAU.
l'loiu the Chicago lfccord-IIcrald.
An inipoii.mt precedent has jiu,t been estab
lished by the courts at Martin, Tenii., wiin-e
Mi3 franco Copass, a teacher in the Hall
Moody institute, was dlstiuiged recently by tho
trustees, who claimed that thu was colnj too
much in society. Miss t'opats, who had a con
tract for n year's employment, brought suit to
compel tho ancient timtocs cither to leinstato
her or piy the salaiy she would have earned it
tho piovisions of the cuntract were e.uried uut,
ami 11 decision In her favor has been rendered.
During Ilia trial the trustees cndcnvoicd to show
that Miss Copass either had company or went nut
"fully three nights a week," which they declared
was too much, They held that no teacher who
has a beau on Sunday night, goes to a pedro
party on Tuesday night, and dances or attends a
wedding or plays "button, button" on l'liday
night can do good woil: as a teacher, wbevetoie
they considtied themselves justitlcd In dhregaid
lug the contract.
Miss Copass on the other hand proved conclu
sively that she never fell down in her teaching
on the dais after her beau called, and she abso
lutely denied that cither card pintles or dances
had in any way militated against her uefuliic.-s
in tho schoolroom, l'uitheimore, she denied the
light of "a pas-el of old fogies" to dictate haw
of leu a yoiuisr laJy who knew bow to belli; e
herself might or might not leceivc company or
p.lungu Into society. If she as a teacher did not
pcrfoim her duties satisfactorily tho tnwteea
might have tho right to dlschargo her, but they
had no light to inquire into the leasons ot her
falluru or to presume tor one reason or another
before she failed that she would do eo.
The court very wisely sustained 3IUs L'op.nj,
ami declared that no boaid ot trustees and no set
ot school directors had nuy right to dictate or
specify bow olten a teacher may keep company.
"Three nights: a week," the ablo judge declared,
"is not too often, whether the lady's beau call
on all threo evenings or whether she divides
her time In various ways,"
O noble Judge! Who would bo so base as,
when a teacher's beau comes wooing her, to say,
"Hut once a month thou mayt, or onto in (very
fortnight at tho most!" 'lis well that thcru aro
to bo 110 lestrictlons in such nutters. When a
school-teacher has a beau it is only Just to pull
down all unuecessaiy obstructions and give him
encouragement rather than to hedge him about
with slikenlng rcstilctlom. A Daniel has ennm
(0 judgment at Martin, Tenn,, and not only Mis.
Copass but teachers .everywhere aro to be -jon-
gratulated upon tho recognition of one of their
imlieiiablc rights,
