The time for argument in this campaign has

4 DEFECT IN FOREIGN MISSIONS.
protan ohunder Mozoomdar in his book, "Ihe
Oriental Christi which has Just been published In
this country, discusses among other things one vi
the causes of the comparative failure OF foreign
missions Speaking of India, his own country no
saws that the teachings of Jesus have been pro-
sented by Christian missionaries through the coi-
ored medium of European ideals and European
theology and have therefore failed to attTaoO to'o
spiritual instincts and national sympatneS lol
which the Hindoos, as primitive Eastern race, are
distinguished" And he quotes Keshub Chunder
SEN the great leader of the BrahmO somaj as say
ino England has sent us q Western Christ.
The Christ that has come to us is an Enghshman
with English manners and customs about him, ana
with the temper and spirit of an Englishman III
him. For this reason the Hndoo people shrink
back from Christianity, not because they dislike H.
for they do not but because they see in 1t only an
outlandish faith and civilization quite mcOmpatIpIe
with Oriental instincts and ideas.
There is no doubt that this touches closely one OF
the great obstacles to the success OF foreign HIS
sions 1t is quite the fashion in these cynical tleS
to say that the want of success in missionary "orh

The answers which these HindoO leaders OF nom

worthy of consideration. The Church, like every

ideal teachings of Christianity the systsm, organl-

will be the HindOO not the AnglO-Saxon ideal OF

add 10 their zeal the wisdom shown by the early
apostles. and in the noble sense of the words be-

Has recent Democratic administration IN tins

that year submitted report in which they tie

own signatures. that if the well -dlgc~tcd meas
,ncs which they suggested became laws the
sum of 1000 900 could be placed in the State

were Democratic in both branches, absolutely
d,rcgardcd any Of the measures recommended
by the Tax Commission, and thrr neglect cost

Republicans were shown how they could save
the taxpayers millions of dollars, and they
proceeded to save the taxpayers millions ol

how they could save the taxpayers millions OF
dollars and they proceeded to save not the tax
paycr- but the taxcatcrS millions of dollars

II follows that it will be the part of wisdom
for the taxpayers to vote the Republican ticket
on Tuesday and for the taxcatcra to vote the
Democratic ticket.

The fght between some negroes and some
white men on Saturday night in Danville, Va,
Is certainly lamentable but it is difficult to
see on what facts certain citizens OF Richmohu
base their resolutions adopted at mass-meet-
ing last night to the.eflect that the affair was
the result OF a conspiracy formed by coalltloh
leaders to precipitate war OF races. Inc carry
accounts of the trouble state that 1t began
when white "citizen," beat negro WHO
had abused another negro for apoiosHhS
for q rudeness to somebody. This was a queS-
tion of manners, we should think, in which as
infants were about equal. Moreover when the
firing began the order was given by the white
leader of the white crowd which would not
have cot into fight if it had not been spelling
for one The attempt of the Democrats to make
political capital out OF the affair Is as amusing
as their appeal to Southern whites to take theli
own part is unnecessary.
The report of Mr.. Evans, the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue for the last fiscal yearhas been
sent to the Secretary of the Treasury The total
receipts for the twelve months ending June 81
will possibly be discOuraging to many who
hoped that the abOlishment of certain taxes
would bring down the cOuntry's internal reve-
nue. Immediately and decidedly. The income
is only two millions less than for the pre-
ceding year. This is owing to the increased
revenue from distilled spirits. For the first
three months OF the current year. however 'he
internal revenue has been reduced nearly eigh'
millions, compared with the amount re-
ceived in the corresponding period OF lsSZ'
That is more encouraging. Mr.. Evans
noints out that the reforms introduced III
! fine service, such as the consolidation OF the
districts, have worked admirably. While the
officials are thus shown TO be pleased with the
result of recent changes, it may be remarked
also that the people have been enormously re-
lieved by the removal Of many petty eXaction'
! and gnuOVauccS.

Mr.. Robert p POrteT's interesting letter on
Industrial France this morning Is devoted to
manning out the coal, iron, steel and woollcns
districts of the country. incidentally, how
ever, he throws in a good many facts showing
how indebted the French Nation is to pro,ec-
tive policy. Valuable as the iron fields are, for
instance, it appears that it took nearly pro-
hibitory duty to induce the people to dug Tor the

Gates. In addition $27,000,O00 in fractional
currency also lies there unused. Could

We wonder how many more cases OF murder

at-large of the force, cried out that he was

i PLANTATION ECHOES. quoting from
Mr.. I'll. Z. ellis note last week relative
/ to thezerop of the Mt. Houmas place we
n,isapprehended the text of his statement
concerning the estimate placed upon the
yield early.in the season. What Mr.
Gill wrote was, that the crop Of Mt
Houmas, although estimated early in the
season at less than is now looked for
was not put down at SO low probability
as the figures mentioned in your issue OF
the 25th ult., (Which figures were GOO, 900
to 100000 pounds.") Mr.. Gill now in
forms us that the crop will be in excess
Of 1,O0o, 900 pounds, and Mr.. J. c. Green,
the estimable manager of Mt. Honmas,
| writes us as follows:
We win make over one million and fifty
thousand pounds from $40 acres of cane, after
the loss Of Is acres BY water and IL acres to
plant at Southwood plantation, which cuts the
crop short by OF least one hunured thousand
pounds.
This excellent yield is an average Of
1885 pounds TO the acre, and under the
circumstances compares favorably with
any result achieved in the parish.
Mr.. Sebastian Gomez of Ascension, the
competent manager of Mr.. David Urqu-
harris Eureka plantation, below Bayou
Goula, informs us that $50 hogsheads
were made on that place the past season,
say 275, 900 to 2s0, 900 pounds of sugar
which is double what was anticipated
after the overflow. In addition to this,
plenty of corn and hay were raised to
carry the place through the ensuing
year.
The sugar-houses of Mr.. Beirne's New
Hope place and of Messrs. St. Martin g.
Bnjoi are still in operation, but very
near the end of the seasons work. On
the left bank of the river the only chin
noys still smoking in Ascension are at
Messrs. Crosley & Sons Mt.sHoumss and
Messrs. Ben Tureaud s. Co.'s places.
Mr. Beirne's Conway place made 600
hogsheads of sugar; Donaldson came
close behind with $50 hogsheads; Orange
Grove has wound up with $50 hogsheads,
or l ,140, 600 pounds, and the " Boss Clark"
scores 1000 hogsheads, aggregating L.
280, GOO pounds. Messrs. Crochet and
Melancon, the frst-class sugsr-makers Oh
the Clark place, have given entire salts
faction and are already under engage
aent to take off the crop of 1888. ALI
the managers Of the Beirne places in
Ascension will retain their positions, and
we are glad to hear it.
IT the information we have received
respecting the crop of Messrs. Kenner &
Brent's Bowdon place is correct, the best
average yield realized in Ascension was
obtained on that plantation. According
to the figures given us, 100000 pounds of
sugar were made in 80 days from 200
acres of cane. This was at the rate of
$3.50 pounds to the acre and 10 ,230 pounds
per day.
