ON TO BUFFALO. falo May, to continue until November. T We observe that several Eastern States have made legislative appropriations of $20,000 to $75,000 to col- lect, instajl and explain their exhibits there. The ex- position- will-not -only -stimulate- reciprocal interstate trade, but will doubtless produce a much needed re- vival in our trade with the other Americas. We are losing trade in Central and South America, It is no answer to this to point out that it has not decreased. Taof stand still is to lose, for that population and its needs are increasing, and failure to get our share of the increase is a loss. California has a great stake in the exposmon, greater, indeed, than in the Columbian or Paris af- fairs. As for Paris, it is doubtful if we received any practical benefit there, because under the rules of ths game our exhibits were merged in that of the whole Union and their individuality was submerged. What California needs in such a competition is the rigid preservation of her individuality, which is matchless. It is known to botany, dendrology. geology, agricul- ture and horticulture that this State has and produces the greatest variety in each division known in the world. No one other single geographical division of the planet is our equal. We have the greatest variety of precious and useful metals and minerals, of timber, of vegetable agents in therapeutics, of thermal and medicinal waters, of rbot crops, cereals and fruits, to be found' grouped together anywhere on earth. It is hardly appreciated by our own vineyardists ‘that we {grow here grouped rogether a greater variety of grapes than will. produce in company. in any other vine-growing region of the world. In our soil and climate the vines of France, Germany, Spain and Italy, of Syria and Persia and Greece, all find & friendly environment and express their satisfaction in abundant crops. The grapes of Nassau and Eshcol vie with each other in fruitfulness, and the descend- ants of the vines of Shiloh here blush still for the ab- | duction of the girls who danced among the vines by the sons of Benjamin California then needs, that she may have justice, that her resources be grouped and viewed together.

But when the Easterh consumer has once tasted our true products in their toothsome and palate ex- alting perfection he is not easily deceived by the fraudulent substitute. When his eye has caressed the contour and colors of our fresh fruits no jaundiced can lure or deceive him. We are to have a great revival of immigration.

French diplomats are urging that all possible en- thusiasm be shown in connection with the fetes which are soon to mark a new era of good feeling between France and Italy. The Italians are probably familiar i with the warning to beware of the Greeks, particu- larly when they come with gifts. C the originator of the phrase “Solid South,” has ., now given a new designation to that section of | the Union. He calls the order of %ffairs now devel- | oping there “the Real South,” anl in explanation of the term says that up to this time the South has never skown its true self by reason of the incubus of slavery | before the war and industrial confusion since. He | says the old wrappings have now been thrown off an1 that the South is about to reveal its true worth and vzlue to the Union and to civilization. The colonel was an enthusigst in war with a foni- | ness for irregular tactics, and he seems to be much of i same sort of man in dealing with the problems of pezce. His predictions of the future of the South have more resemblance to the war whoop of a guerrilla | lez der than to the sane estimates of a careful student of social subjects. Thus he declares the “Real | Scuth” is to be “far richer and more powetful than the North.” He adds: “In the days to come ‘the | Scuth will be the dominant section of the coun- try,” and goes on to say: “Richmond is the city most likely to become in time the banking center and com- mercial headquarters of this country, and therelore of the world.” Statements of that kind are more likely to excite-a careless laugh than any serious consideration of the subject. It is a bad example of the effects of over- statement and will give rise to so much distrust in the whole argument that hardly any of it will have weight with the public to which it was addressed. While the high predictions concerning the coming of Southern domination with Richmond as the finan- «ial and commercial center of the world may be dismissed as empty boasting, it must be admitted that Mosby has good reasons for talk- ing of the appearance in the Union of the “Real South” That section of the Unfon is undergoing a transformation that is one of the notable events of the time. Changes are becoming evident in cvery department of Su!h'eQ activity, from educaiion Leave the i | i THE REAL SOUTH. OLONEL MOSBY, who claims to have been .

South has been often noted. much of New England capital is going South to en- and skill in her manufacturing development, but much, of that'of the section that has in the past been the cen- ter of the cotton mills of the Union. It has been esti- ‘mated that at the present time the South produces 1 66 per cent of all the cotton consumed in the world, but, she' manufactures only 7 per cent of it, while the North manufactures 13 per cent. It will be_seen, tiren, that in the task of manufacturing her .raw ma- tevial of cotton alone there is room in the South for | an enormous industrial development with a propor- | tionate increase of wealth. The advancement of education is going forward al- most as rapidly as the advance in industry. The At- lanta Constitution recently said: “The South is now spending more money to educate its children than was spent in the whole country in 1860.” A marked im- provement has been also noted of late in’ the political sentiment of the people. It is true the Bourbons have Leen able to carry out their plans for the suppression of the negro vote to an extent that will compel the attention of the National Government, but at the same time there has been evident a growing tendency | among the better classes of Southern men to revolt against Bourbon domination. There are many in- | luential men in that section who now call themselves “McKinley Democrats.” These men are in favor of protection, sound money, conservative government and the general policies of Republicanism. Such men cannot long be compeiled to serve Bryanism, and in the end they will have to break openly with the party | of calamity and fiat. money. “Thus Colonel Mosby’s designation of the South oi the future as the “Real South” has ample justifica- tion in fact. It will never be the dominant section of the Union, nor will Richmond ever surpass New York in the East or San Francisco in the West, but all the same it will be so muich richer and better than the old South that the colonel’s fantastic predictions will have some show of excuse. It begins to look as if the Philippine fracas and the Chinese imbroglio will be forgotten in the row that | is going to be raised between Néw York and Boston if Thomas W. Lawson be not permitted to put his New England yacht in competition for the privilege | of defending the America's cup against the British | ckallenger. Should the New Yorkzrs shut the Bostos boat out it will take forty New Yorks to shut Bos- ton up. 1 e SOUTHERN PACIFIC DIRECTORS. ALIFORNIANS have reason to be gratified C that in the newly elected board of directors of the Southern Pacific Railway Company H. E. Huntington has a place. His clection assures to Cali- | fornia a representative in the management of the road, ! so that the direction of its policies is not to be wholly in the hands of men residing on the other side of the continent who have little direct interest in California and hardiy any knowledge of its conditions and industries. Mr. Huntington is not only a resident of California, | but he has long been identified with the railroad and ! has a comprehensive knowledge of the mutual reia- | tions between the State and the road, and is therefore well fitted to counsel the board in all matters of policy | affecting our interests. His influence is bound to be large, for no other among his colleagues has anything | like his extent of information concerning railroad | business on this coast. It is also fortunate for California that Mr. Hun- tington is an easily approachable man. He does not | keep himself shut away from the people, On the | cortrary, he is at all times accessible to those who wish to consult with him on matters ‘of railroad traffic, and | he thus manages to keep in touch with the business public and to learn the needs and the desires of the producers, manufacturers and merchants. A refre- sentative of that character is doubly valuable, for he | will not only stand as a champion for our interests but will be at all times willing and able to learn how his championship can be made more useful 10 our wel fare. Notwithstanding the recent attainment of the long desired competing railroad, California remains largeiy dependent upon the Southern Pacific for transporta- tion, and it would have been injurious to the State | had its control passed wholly into the hands of East- ern men without a single Californian in the director- ate. The controlling interests in the road have recog- nized that fact and have acted wisely in giving Cali- fornia a representative; nor could they have chosen one who would be more generally satisfactory to our people than H. E. Huntington ———— Londoners are amazed that an Amecrican railroad builder has accomplished more in a few weeks in their town than they could have done in many months. This amazement is no particular reason to believe, | however, that our British friends have been taught a lesson. The sewing machine agent of Oakland who was sat upon by three women, beaten and then convicted of disturbing the peace of his assailants will prob- ably feel justified in following a peaceable occupation by becoming a highwayman. The Davisville Coroner's jury, which decided that the death of a woman who was killed by her jealous hus- band was accidental, evidently has an abiding faith in the truth of the assertion that accidents will happen in the best regulated families. A SR Veracious Oaklanders are evidently determined to keep the center of the stage of interest even if they have to pose as a freak community. They ought 1o try something easier than a union of the four seasonc, however, for a ten-strike. A son of one of the members of the Board of Edu- cation wants to charge $1000 for giving the board some advice. The young man probably feels that he is qualified to charge in keeping with the difficulties of his task. The Hawaiian Legislature with all its bluff and blus- ter, noise and nonsense has compensated for its many sins of commission by one virtue of omission. It has passed half of its legal life and has adopted only one bill. The Auditor has decided to reduce the appropria- tion estimate of the Board of Public Works ' by $300,000. The money is probably needed for :ome legitimate purpose.

By Alioe Morse Earle. AUTHOR OF “STAGECOACH AND TAVERN DAYS,” “OLD-TIME DRINKS AND DRINKERS, E'].'C COPYRIGHT, 1901 VIL—THE FIRST AMERICAN RAILWAYS. ‘The Boston and Lowell, the Boston and Frovidence and the Boston and Worces- ter roads were completed at last and opened with rejoicing. Gentlemen direc- tors, with flags and bands of music and military corps would make the opening trip, and while the husbands were eating the banquet the ladies would be given a little turn on the road, “which they ap- penred to enjoy highly and with no signs of fear.” I have just read a letter writ- ten by a gentleman who drove with friends to see the trial trip of locomotive and cars on the Boston and Worcester roall. They had a terrible time; the horses ran away at the first toot of the engine and all were injured. Not one ef the party eaw even a car, and the funniest thing of all was the great surprise of the rarrator that the horses “‘were fright- cned.”” T should have thought any one would know that horses would certainly be in an agony of fright at the unknown monster. With the “uptaking” qualities of all true Americans, men now turned to the managemént of the new rallroads. The prresident of the Boston and Worcester was hitched to It; and a race began. The horse got the betier start. but the engins e ai P.:u. with its safety valve lzcrumlnl’ ani th much excitement of all passengers.

For instance. when the Boston and Albany road was opened in 1841 a party of gentlemen from New Bedford had spermacet! candles molded one day, which they took on the trip and burned at the banquet at Albany the suc- ceeding day. e Albanians would not be outdone, so they returned to Boston one Wednezday, the party taking with them a barrel of flour, made from wheat which had been thrashed on Monday and on the same day the wood of the barrel had been growing in a tree—and on Thurs- day they all solemnly ate bread made frem the flour. A long list might be made of the whini- sical Inventions and rnotlons in regard to travel by steam during the early years of the century. Cogged wheels to run upon cogged ralls were naturally fnvented: an- other locomotive was to have cogged or “‘tooth wheel,” which was to run on a cor - rugated side rail. A verv extravagant no- tion which was patented was for an en- gine with legs like a norse. It resembled a mammoth grasshopver and was tried | in England, but blew up, killed several bystanders and was never repals thought salls would be preferabl and much safer. Peter Cooper’s Race.
