The Garfield Programme as to the South.
Washington Letter. ]

w aSnlngCOu Letter.
A Southern man, who seemed to have
full knowledge OF the subject, outlined the
Republican programme recently as follows:
ssMen identified with the interests of the
South are to be given the Federal offices.
As 6 condition of their acceptance these
new ofice-holders will be required to reor-
ganize the Republican party. They will
manage its local caucusses and conventions,
seeing that none but decent, honest men are
nominated to local offices. Conservative
Democrats will be urged to break loose
from the old Bourbon element and identity
themselves with the Republican party. The
negro vote will be encouraged and efficient
means will be adopted to prevent election
frauds. vitality will be infused into the new
organization and no effort will be omitted
to establish Republicanism in the South
upon the sans footing it now occupies IN
the North"
It has been determined to make Virginia
the trial field for the experiment. There
is no longer any reason to doubt that Gen.
Malone the Senator elect from that State,
has decided to cooperate with the Republic
cans to the fullest extent, in the proposed
plan Of reorganization. For months past ne
| has been in constant communication with
the Republican leaders. The plan CT actlon
has been matured, and in very short time,
possibly this week, Gen. Malone VIII take
| the initiative"

Time, the Unerring YindicatOr.
Corinth Herald

Time has proven that THE CLARION adj
vised the correct policy, and to US it
appeared equally plain then as now.
But in THE CLARIoN's language passion
triumphed over reason. The advice was
not followed" The men who gave it were
stigmatized as assistant Radicals, the reople
followed the advice of other leaders to do
nothing-which was a virtual handing over
the State Government into the hands of the
carpet baggers and inexperienced negros,
who opened upon US the great Pandora box
of evils that now, if We could, we would
forget We are proud of the fact, however,
that we have the right to claim that we are
in line with THE CLARION in advising
against the fatal mistake that our people 50
blindly made.

Why Senator Mcdonald WaG Dropped
by the Indiana Democrats

A Washington special says: The de-
feat Of Senator Mcdonald for the empty
compliment Of the Democratic Senate
rial nomination annoys the Senator's
friends exceedingly. There Is but one
construction placed upon it here, and
that is that McDonald's too close affilia-
ton with the Eastern Democracy has
not been profitable in any sense to tho
Democracy Of Indiana, and the aggres-
sive element of the party have concluded
to- shake off all trimmers and try new
deal.

which he did to the entire satisfaction of
the directors of the company. He married

Hudson.

11uOSOns
We are gratifed to note that the
Holly Springs South, the Reporter, and
the Ashland Register have all strongly
approved the suggestion that Hon.
Thomas j. Hudson, of Benton county,
should be one of the delegates to rep
resent Mississippi in the proposed
Farmers Congress, the aims and uses of
which were fully set forth in recent
number of this paper;
Holly Springs South.
In an article from THE CLARION in an
other part of this paper, IN relation to the
Agricultural Congress, the distinguished
gentleman above named (Hon. I. J. Hud-
son. is suggested as 4 suitable person to
represent the First Congressional District
of Mississippi i'll that body. He Is the very
man of all others who should be sent. his
thorough familiarity with the subject, his
long and unfagging efforts to bring about
the organization of such a Congress, and to
-r+rt1r4n4te the-cause of agriculture generally
and the wonderful amount OF information
he possesses as to the productions, resources,
and general features of the country, It's
history and institutions, point him out as
the right man to be sent.
Holly Springs Reporter
We were much pleased at the mention of
the name of Maj. T. J. Hudson, of Lamar,
Mississippi, as a suitable representative In
the Agricultural Congress, from the First
/ Congressional District. Maj. Hudson was
President of the Planters Convention OF
/ the South at Nashville, in the year 1899
and also President of the Agricultural
/ Board of Mississippi before the War, and
/ has been a persistent worker in the cause OF
agriculture for more than twenty years, and
/ il is in great part due to his untiring efforts,
if we are correctly informed, that the
Agricultural Congress is at last to prove
reality.
Ashland Register.
! THE CLARION concludes long editorial
on the subject of a Farmers Congress, with
a complimentary notice of our distinguished
county man, Col. T. J. Hudson. We know
of no one that has been more prominent III
serving the Agricultural cause than Col
Hudson. Many years ago he was President
of the State Board of Agriculture. Then
he was permanent President of the Planters
Convention of the South, organized in
1859 at Nashville. He is a constant work
er in the great cause of agriculture, and /:
man of energy, sound views, large expe
rience and ability.

THE state of society in the Hawaiian
Islands is anomalous. Just such a
mixture of distinct races and civili.a-
ton exists nowhere else. 1he total
population Is somewhat less than co.
600, of whom about 10, 900 are Chinese,
4, 800 are from other foreign countries,
and the rest, &c, 900, ara natives. There
are $4,000 males and a, 900 females.
This disproportion of the sexes, due to
The fact that few Chinese women come,
is one cause of the frightful moral deg
radiation of the inhabitants. Curiously
enough, Chinamen in Hawaii seem to
exercise controlling influence on the
customs and manners of the people, al
though they are in minority, and
have brought With them all the vicious
practices prevailing in Asia, including
polyandry.

An Old Specific For Irish Discomfort.

The following extract is taken from
Curiosities of the Search-Room:- 81
give and bequeath the annual sum OF
ten pounds, to be paid in perpetuity out
of my estate, to the following purpose:
It is my will and pleasure that this sum
be spent in the purchase Of a certain
quantity of liquor vulglarly called
whisky; and it shall be publicly given
out that certain number of persons,
Irish only, not to exceed twenty, who
may choose to assemble in the cemetery
in which shall be inferred on the an
niversary of my death, shall have the
same distributed to them. Further, it
is my desire that each shall receive it
by half pint at time till the whole is
consumed, each being likewise provio-
ed with stout oaken stick and knife,
and that they shall drink it all on the
spot. Knowing what I know of the
Irish character, my conviction is that,
with these materials given, they will not
fail to destroy each other; and. when,
in course of time the race comes to be
exterminated, this neighborhood at
least may perhaps be colonized by civil
lied and respectable Englishman. Will

Taxes Levied Upon Bachelors.

It has been repeatedly said. and
written, that Gin these days young men
cannot afford to marry" but with the
constant demands fashion makes upon
the bachelors purse, the married man
seems to have the best of it. An eastern
paper says: ''He who is invited to box
party must pay his footing with at least
ten dollars worth Of bouquet; a Ger
man costs as much-while the assembly,
to skip at once to the most appallingly
extensive form In which the tax is levied,
may be made to cost almost anything,
since maoams as we'll as maids expect
tribute from ali their faithful followers,
and make their entry fairly hidden be-
meath a mountainous aggregation of
flowers" This reminds me of a little
comedy, written in the early days of
women's 'srightism," and called 'aThe
Spirit of '76," defining woman's rights
and privileges, the chief one of which
was to assess all unmarried men sixty
per cent. on their property for the
privilege of being bachelor. The au-
thor little knew that his would-be satire
would some day prove truth, the only
difference being in the way the tax was
IeNIcd.

A Pretty Nav Custom.

Apretty May custom still obtains in
the more primitive villages of Suabia,
Bavaria, and Tyrol, distant from the
great railway routes and comparatively
untouched by the prosaic temper of
contemporary German culture. On the
first Sunday of the flowery month the
unmarried girls of the hamlet, armed
with leafy boughs, visit in procession
the young wives who have been wed
during the past year, and make formal
inquiry, in certain set phrases hallOwed
by long custom, with respect to their
health and happiness. Etiquette pre-
scribes that each married woman thus
distinguished should receive her maiden
visitors at the outer door of her house,
before which they take up their stand in
double line. After thanking them for
their kind inquiries, she passes slowly
between their ranks, receiving from
each in turn light blow inflicted with
the green branches as mark of
maidenly disapproval of her faithless-
ness to their virginia. sisterhood. Hav-
ing endured this gentle discipline, she
is expected, according to her husbands
means, to make pecuniary Offering to
the vestal band; and the total amount
of this quaint May-day collection is ex-
pended by the village girls in an even
ing festivity, to which they invite the
manageable bachelors of the village.
At this merry-making all the outlay for
musicians and refreshments is betrayed
by the youthful hostesses, who however
reserve to themselves the privilege of
engaging partners"
Among German peasants the prac-
tees and observances of their ancestors
are even to this day faithfully observed.
They are not near SO cosmopolitan as
their English and French neighbors and
latter day innovations are usually en-
Grely disregarded.
