~ MIR. VIM. f. Adams (Oliver OPP
dc), who is spending the winter in
South Carolina, writes:
II was firm believer in the presi-
dents policy while at home, am ten
fold more SO here in the South. am
confident that the solid men of the South
mean to keep faith with the government,
and to see that the laws of the states are
fairly, justly and impartially admins
tered. South Carolina, by an Overwhel-
ming majority, amounting to practical
unanimity, has passed constitutional
amendment taxing the people two mills
on dollar for common school edhca-
ion; not for the white man alone, but
equally for the negro. North Carolina
supports normal school for the in
struction OF colored teachers. Gov.
Vance recently visited this institution
and addressed the students, manifesting
deep interest in their welfare and in
che cause in which they are engaged.
Peace prevails throughout tine South.
There have been no riots, no exhibit
dons of lawless violence by either party,
since the bayonet, the emblem of subjec.
lion, was Withdrawn from public view
in these states. The policy Of the presi.
dent in this respect has triumphantly
vindicated itself. 1t has been produc
tive of the best results, and to-day the
south is on the road to prosperity.
1t certainly does not appear as if this
policy was to be the "ruin of our eoun.
sry and the means of the overthrow o,

THE philosopher of the Boston transcript
thinks sit is great pity that some of the
young bachelors who write impressive para
graphs about the amount Of money spent BY
women, and the other young bachelors who
read the paragraphs and lament over the inn
possibility of marrying on less than double
their present incomes, do not know that they
usually leave out some very important items
in their computation. What sharpness of
point and what swiftness would be impaired
to the pen of the small Jones who writes the
paragraph, if he knew that the black velvet
which arouses his wrath covered lace like a
SPIDERS web and lawn as fine as misty How
would the eloquence of the tall Smith, who
reads Jones's diatribes, soar aloft into the
clear, upper air, where dwell the great mas
ters of oratory, if he dreamed that rosecol-
ored satin and silken embroidery were con-
cealed beneath the floating muslin which al
most persuades him to propose to its wearer
by its apparent simplicity. But, unknowing
and undreaming, the pair 60 on, and women
continue to spend money and time upon
their underclothing, happy in the conscious
ness that they can do so without receiving
any very serious admonitions about the
matter" Perhaps louder and more reason

know of the carefully hidden expenses of
men.

THE Chicago Times is anything but a

the worst kind of Democracy. But it has
sense of fair play as the following extract from
its celumes testifes: "Thers are some states
in the Union where it would be considered no
small outrage to permit armed Democratic
militia companies, with artillery, to attend
Republican meetings, or armed Republican
militia companies to attend Democratic meet
ings, And there are many states where it
would be considered no small outrage for par
tisan militia companies to break up the polit-
ical meetings of an opposing party. 1t may
not be unusual in South Carolina for 1egi-
ment of Democrats 800 strong to 'gallop"
into Republican meeting, capture it, and
run it. That sort of thing may go by the
name of "argument and fair play" in South
Carolina. 1t goes by another name in some
