No CIRCUS THERE.-The Chicago and
Northwestern Railway Company is
under contract with mining companies
in Upper Michigan to transport no
circus, menagerie or tent show north of

during the shipping season results in
thousands of dollars damage to their
interests.

DIVERSITY HOME ENTERPRISES,

DESPITE The large amount Of money
brought into the State by cotton, our
farmers DO not accumulate riches.
The proceeds of the cotton crop are
not taxed simply to pay for provi-
sions and commercial fertilizers used
in its production, but have TO
foot hundreds Of other bills. It is
the ready money crop not only of the
Western Farmers, but also Of the
MOI thern and Eastern manufacturers.
This is an indictment not simply
against the farmers; it lies at the
doors of our whole people, and is
caused by a want Of diversity in Il
enterprises. What per cent. Of the
hundreds of articles of daily use in
our families are made in South Caro-
lima? Almost every article in iron,
from a carpet tack to 4 steam engine,
lis made abroad. Scarcely an article
OF wooden ware is made in the State.
There are hundreds OF other lines Of
goods which have to be paid for out
of the returns of the cotton crop; and
when the money has flowed out Of the
State to meet this{ foreign, indebted
uess it leaves exhausted purses be-
hind. It will require time to iuaug-
urate the, hundreds Of enterprises
that will enable US to mako all these
purchases from home manufactures;
but we trust that the time is not far
distant when not one dollar of the
Southern cotton crop will have to go
North, East or West for the purchase
of a large majority of the articles
which we now buy from them. The
49, -
farmers can do their part by diversi-
flying their crops and keeping their
granaries and store houses at home.
Small manufacturers from abroad
should be encouraged to locate their
enterprises in our section. When
the South makes what the Southern
people need, there vii! be propriety
in talking about the prosperity Of our
section. Then cotton will DO a wise
and constitutional king, and his rule
win be mild anil lenifcent. We
earnestly desire the early realization
of these hopes.

HOW The MINORITY EULEs tbs
SENATE.

livery newspaper reader knows al!
about the Senate deadlock, aud uear-
ly every one knows the Object Of both
parties in the fight. 1t is not every
one, however, that understands how
it is possible for the Democratic mi
nority to prevent the Republican ma-
iority from electing their Secretary of
the Senate and going on to complete
the reorganization. The question OF
a tie has nothing to do with the dead
lock. In fact, there is no tie, rs Sen
ator Darts has left without pairing
off and Senator Malone votes steadily
with the Republicans. The Repub
licans have a majority of one without
the aid of the Eice-President, whose
vote they wonld have in case of Il tie.
The pending question in the Senate
is the resolution OF Senator Dawes to
60 into the election Of Il Secretary of
the Senate.
Every day, on the assembling of
| the Senate, the Nice-Presidert states
the question, when from the Demo
cratic side comes the motion to 90
into executive session. This is Il
privileged motion, and must be dis
posed of before The pending question
can be reached. The Republicans
having a majority, it is, Of course,
voted down. Then comes more talk
about a vote on the resolution Of
Senator Dawes, when the Democrats
make a motion 10 adjourn. This is
also a privileged motion, aud must
receive the attention of the Senate at
once. The Republicans having voted
it down are again ready to take a vote
on Senator Dawes reIolution, when
from the Democratic side again comes
the privileged motion to go executive
session.
This motion cannot be made twice
in succession, but it can be made to
alternate with the motion to adjourn
and the one or the other is always be-
fore the Senate instead of the pend
ing question. The position of the
Democrats is that the Senate was
convened by the President for execu-
tive business and ought to attend to
it. The Republicans claim that The
Senate, being Republican, ought to
reorganize at once, putting the Demo-
cratic officers out and the Repnbli-
cans in, before going on with the
executive business.

While the Democrats Of the South
are endeavoring to maintain the pub
lie credit unimpaired, i, is disgusting
Northern Republicans to find their
party, which they have heretofore
trusted as financially sound, allyius
itself with repudiators, and especially
with the destructive elements which
stand back Of the Reputation leaders,.
Malone has created divisions, but
not such as he or his friends expected.
For every fossil that he has lead
away from Democracy he has driven
two Republicans over into alliance
with Democracy to withstand the
agraerian movement which the stall
wart Republican leaders have been
pleased to call liberalism and pro-
gress.

The TREASURY P1UNDERED 70
ELECT GARFIELD.

Ex:Assistant Postmaster General
Brady, chief of the Star Route Fra1d
Ring, has for some days been threat
ening, if Garfe!d's war on the ring
was continued, to publish a letter
from the latter, written before his
election to the Presidency, request
ing an assessment of The Star Route
contractors for the Indiana campaign.
The letter is as follows:
Private
MENTOR, O., Aug %, so.
Ny DEAR HUBBELL- Yours of the
10Th instant received and comfort
noted. Please say to Brady that I
hope he will gpeTsa1l the assistance
he ca1~Itliuk he can help US ef-
fectively. Please tell me low the de-
partments generally are doing. As
eve yours, J. a. GARFIELD.

D. C.

line in the letter that he would have
the slightest objection to the public
seeing; that the Star Roate contracts
were neither mentioned nor thought
Of; hat lie simpl.r expressed the hope
hat Brady, who was a citizen Of H.
diana and reported wealthy, would
respond from his ample means to aid
his party in the life and death strug-
gle then going on in his own State
and bis friends claim that Gar
field knew Of the Star Route frauds
and encouraged them. These asser
tons are regarded us sensational, but
at the same time evidence accumu-
that the Republican party dab
bled in these frauds to secure money
to carry the Indiana election, and
that it.was Star Route money, plum
from the Government treasury,
that deluged hat State and elected
Mr.. Garfield. Postmaster General
James may reach a point in his in
vestigation Of these frauds when it
will be more discreet, in the interest
Of his party, to stop than to proceed.
