Virginia, the first cultiVator of tobacco,
and which has raised this crop as one of
its staples for a century aud half, is at
last growing disguised with it. Tobacco
impoverishes the soil and the dark com
mon Virginia tobacco has become such
drug on the market for many years
that it scarcely pays to cultivate it. The
Virginia planters are looking Tor a crop
TO replace it, and have decided on cot
ton. This is now cultivated in nearly
every county in Southern Virginia, and
the crop of the State has crept up from
nothing to several thousand bales. The
Virginians propose to go into cotton still
more heavily, and hope that "lhe old
Dominion" will soon be ranked among
''the cotton States of the Union.

Raum's Raids.
JOllrndL.

owe have got beyond expressing sur
prise at the murder of revenue officers by
moonshiners, but the latest repetition of
this offense calls for an expression of
opinion on the shame and disgrace of our
people and government that this sort of
thing continues. The number of these
murders, if collected together, would cause
amaZement even among the people who
commit them, and if the government
should issue report covering the past
ten years-which we suggest be done
public attention would be fOrcibly ar
rested. - Philadelphia Press.
1t is indeed very shameful and dis
graceful thing that this sort of thing
continues" but the point which the
Philadelphia Press does not bring out is
the well known fact that the moonshin-
ing business is kept up by the govern
ment officials, because it is very profta
bic to the henchmen of the Republican
party The government could break up
illicit distillIng if it pleased, but the party
in power finds it very profitable politi
cally to keep on hand horde of retain
ers and strikers in the shape of deputy
marshals, who are periodically given a
Job which pays them in fees very hand
sOmely, and keeps them ready for the
elections and for partisan service. Mr.
Commissioner Raum knows this very
well, and any one who reads his pronun
ciamentos can see very readily the I'm
DERIVING political design Of those an
nOuncements.
The Commissioner has been in the
habit of repre- senting that the resistance
to the Deputy Mar saals on the occasion
of raids against moonshiners is the work
of the "old rebel spirit" He and the
Republican organs have diligently prOpa-
gated this view of the case. 1t is dis
graceful to the party which carries on
such pretense. AS for the killing of
revenue officers, that has always been
greatly exaggerated for political pur
poses, and if the Philadelphia Press will
take the trouble to print an accurate list
of sucn killings during the past decade it
will find that the killings in the portion
of Pennsylvania where the molly Ma
guires" have held sway, and are to-day
in operation, far exceed the former. The
"Mollies' murdered a man last week
near WilkesbarTe
In this connection it is observable that
the government very rarely orders a raid
on moOnshiners in PENNSYLVANIA and
other Northern States, where they are as
numerous as they are in the South. The
raids of Raum are altogether one sided.
This is another disgraCeful feature of
the business.

Conkling's fall is, it is said, the death
of "bossism" in the Republican party.
Not at all 1t is merely the defeat of
one boss" by another, or by a certain
set of "bosses." The system is too
deeply implanted in that party to be up
rooted by the downfall of one person
When, at the instance of such men as
Henry Ward Beecher and Bob Ingersoll,
the policy Of "men, not measures, y was
adopted, the foundation Of the "bOss
system was laid, and its growth, in the
default of a consistent policy upon any
set of measures or principles, has been
very rapid. The management is now 50
thoroughly permeated with it that its re-
moval is impossible save by such radi-
cal operation as would necessarily prove
fatal to the patient Oh, no! Republican
"bossism" is not dead; it has merely
changed its outline slightly.

The Philadelphia Press comments as
follows on Mr.. Rufus Hatch's prediction
of the near approach of a great financial
crisis; 1T is very possible that stocks
will have to tumble, but Wall street is
not the whole United States. The
growing business of the country rests on
a solid and healthy foundation, and the
bursting of a bubble here and there need
have no effect on legitimate business
1t was the breaking up Of an intricate
and inflated credit system by which each
interest was inseparably entwined with
every other that brought down every
thing together in 1873. Where business
is done on a cash basis there may be a
suspension Of dividends, but there can
be no crash. 1t is evident, however,
that business must proceed at much
more cautious pace next year than it has
done in the last two years. Our grain
crop Is reported 200. 900, 900 bushels
short, which means that we will be able
to draw on Europe for 800, 900, 600 less
than last year; that railroads will have
less business, the West able to buy less
and the East able to sell less than in
either of the two years just past We
have, however, been pruned too recently
TO be ready for another panic already. "

SHIPMENT OF INTERNAL MACHINES. -
In an article on tie shipment of internal
machines, which has created such stir
in England and America, the New York
Post says:
The Revised Statutes of the United
States require all dangerous articles,
such as nitro glycerine or gun cotton, to
be distinctly marked on the outside
with the name or description of the arti-
Gle contained therein, and make an in
fringement of this requirement a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine not exceed
ing two thousand dollars or imprison-
ment not exceeding eighteen months. or
both. There is also a penalty Of five
hundred dollars for shipping such arti-
Giles on board passenger vessel. These
provisions, however, were not designed
to meet the case of the shipment of ex-
plosive machines, expressly constructed
for the destruction of life on a large
scale, and are ridiculously inadequate
for such purpose. What punishment
should be provided for such an offense
is question which requires careful con
sideration. Modern science and modern
facility of transportation have brought
within the reach of criminals stupendOus
agencies for the destruction of life, and
criminal laws have by no means kept
pace with the rapid advance in the
machinery and means of crime.

Element of the affairs of the Transvaal

the Dutch Beers to pay the assessment

commissioners as their portion of the

their country was annexed to the Crown

considerable difficulty raising such a

pose to hold mass meeting on Septem-

A nangprnns Ally

At the weekly meeting of the Dublin
Land League, on Tuesday night, it was
announced that g, 400 had been received
from America during the week. James
Redpath delivered a violent speech, in
which he characterized Sir William Har-
courts statement that John Dewey was
an agent of the League as a deliberate
lie, and alluded to John Bright as a
renegade. He said that he had only
opposed the Fenian schemes in America
because he did not see how it was pos
sible to conquer England by revolution
at present. Redpath concluded by call
ing SIR William HarcOurt a liar, Sian
derer aud coward, and William E. Fors
ter an infamous quaker.
Such utterances from such fanatical
agitators as James Redpath, the cham
piOn ami compatriOt of John Brown CHE
Harper's Ferry incendiary), are calcu
lated to iniure rather than benefit the
cause IN which he is at present enlisted.
The fewer such men as Redpath the
Land Leaguers have in their ranks the
better it will be for their cause.

Prof Gather, under date of July %,
says: "Meteors are plying directly in
the track of the comet-nights Of 10Th,
Goth, 21st, about 9 to 10 o'clock-very
numerous and brilliant; some very
fiery"
Possibly they were small detachments
left behind in the terrific fight Of the
comet, and would indicate that comets
are sometimes destroyed by their own
centrifugal forces. This would account
for the '1ost" comet. and afford a stand
point for conjecture as to the materials
of which comets are composed. In this
connection, the following from the New
York Sun will be found interesting:
THE observation of Mr.. Watson and
Prof. Stone, of Cincinnati, who saw
mass thrown off from the head of the
comet nearly as large as the nucleus
itself, is the most interesting astrOnomi
cal news of the day Ii such an explO-
sion really occurred, and there seems to
be no sufficient reason to doubt that II
did, it will indicate new line of inquiry
into the nature of comets. The power
required to hurl mass half as large as
the moon to distance Of several thou
sand miles in a few seconds can be
matched in energy only by the explosive
forces that break up the surface OF the
sun. The elected matter which was
seen by the Cincinnati observers at the
moment it was flung forth soon
disappeared Whether it was dissi-
pated like vapor or fell back upon the
nucleus, is a question they do not under
take to decide. The probability is that
it was gaseous matter. and its behavior
seems to have accorded pretty closely
with that Of the mass Of glowing gas
that have been seen shooting upward
from the sun with almost incOnceivable
velocity. This explosion adds another
to the long list of remarkable phenome-
ma that comets have exhibited, such as
the Pickering of the tail like the flame Of
a torch in the wind. which was particu-
larly well seen in 1866; the separation
and final disappearance of Biela's comet,
and the surprising adventure Of Lexen's
comet, which 100 years ago ventured in
among the moons of Jupiter, and was
flung out again by that giant planet with
such violence that the astronomers have
never been able to find it since.

Secretary for Ireland, to represent to

theic condition was very bad, but hard
to deal with. He did not think it prac-
ticable, as suggested, that the State
should provide cottages for the laborers,
though certain amount of aid might be
extended. Most important, as indicating
the policy of the Liberals, was Mr..
Forster's statement that when the gov
eminent was ready to confer franchise
upon agricultural laborers. the measure
would be extended to Scotland and Ire

THE CARELESS USE OF ICE.
American Indifference 10 the Dam
ger fthe HabiI-HOR Other Races
Use It.
NEG York Hoalr.

II is only in this country that ice en-
tiers so largely into the apparent comfort
Of its Inhabitants, and very dangerous
comfort it is. Dyspepsia and a number
of other evils follow directly in the train
of the consumption of ice. To the great
pitchers of iced water so temptingly dis
played on hot days can be traced a mum
Der of maladies, for it is evident that no
person can without danger, suddenly and
violently lower the temperature of his
stomach by filling it full of water al 81
degrees Fahrenheit. That valuable organ
will certainly resent the insult, especially
if followed up by repeated injuries of
the same kind. In the tropics, where
the use of ice has more temptations sur
rounding it than in any other part of
the world, the inhabitants most carefully
avoid it. 1ou cannot get Cuban to
indulge in iced water
People who have been previously ad-
dicted to the foolish habit of using ice
will, after visit to the West Indies, for
ever eschew the dangerous practice. a
party of men who recently visited San
Domingo on business who would 90
there for any other reason p on their first
arrival mOurned greatly at the absence
of ice. "Ah" said they, "when the
English steamer runs in here we will 90
aboard and have treat in the shape of
a good iced brandy and soda" The
steamer arrived in due course. The ar
dent foreigners jumped into the boat of
the Captain of the port "a negro gor-
geously arrayed in uniform covered
with gold lace and, barely saluting the
Captain, rushed to the saloon for the
coveted refreshment. 1t was duly alb
sOrhed, and the whole party were render
ed i'll in consequence.
None of them have ever touched ice
since that time. In the West Indies it
is only the cOlored race which patrOnize
ice-to the white people it is not only no
luxury, but a dangerous enemy. Ice
has its uses; in the hospitals it is lnvalu-
able; for the preservation of provisions,
especially fish, it is useful, although det-
rimental to flavor, if allowed to touch
the meats to be preserved, but as an
article of human consumption it should
be avoided. There is yet an essay to be
written upon the maladies and woes pro-
duced by the careless consumption of
ice 1t is only with US that this takes
place. Abroad ice is a luxury only re-
sorted to at times; even in California the
inhabitants are wary of it. In short, ice
is a very good friend in moderation, but
a bitter enemy when the intimacy is too
absorbing.

A general uprising of Mohammcdan-
ism is not as much to be dreaded now as
it would have been a few centuries ago,
and its most desperate protests against
the encroachments Of Christian powers
are not likely to cause any great dis
turbance to the destinies Of the race or
change the present course of history ma
terially. But for all that the integrity of
Islam is a political if not religious ne
cessity. The Christian nations of the
earth have not yet become so sanity that
they can safely be entrusted with the
destinies of those whom they hate or
despise. There is nothing like little
wholesome fear to keep the nations of
the European continent and along the
border reasonably regaTdful of the rights
of man without reference to his religion
or historical antecedents. Let Christi
anity spread over the whole earth, but
not by the sword.
