FGGs-Since the first of September Their

EGGs.-Since the first of September there
have been received in New York from
Europe over a million and a-half dozen OF
eggs. From present Indications the impor-
tations of this year will be greatly in excess
of that of any previous year. Denmark,
Belgium, Germany, Hungary and even Pc,
land have contributed TO the supply but
the eggs from Denmark arc held in greatest
favor and command the highest price. 1t
is claimed that the European eggs are used
almost exclusively for cooking purposes,
the lime in which they are packed detract-
ing from their freshness.

England and Europe.

COLOGNE, January 23.--The Gazette, in \
leading editorial article on the relations of
England and Europe, says: "The chief
question is whether England or Europe
shall give way, or whether they shall com.
promise their opposing claims. We are CON.
WINGED that England will yield if the yer.
dict of Europe is given with the necessary
emphasis. The writer predicts the dcca-
dence of England's power. Only let us
show our teeth the article continues, and
England will surprise the world with her
cowardice. ~

THAT SON OF WAR, Senator Dawes, of
Massachusetts, who, however, never smelt

that he wants the men, women and children
who have settled upon the Oklohoma lands
summarily removed at whatever cost and
irrespective of consequences. No temper
izing or compromising measures will suit
him. With him it would be go, or blood

the gray haired mans myth he told in the

that body.

themselves of the opportunity to be afforded
by the revival.

his constituents who cared to know, knew
that he was in favor of it and was one OF

Mr.. Beverly Tucker, of Virginia, referring

Several Senators were interviewed to-day
on the subject of the interstate commerce
bill now before that body. The general
tenor of the interviews is that the bill will
interfere materially with the railroads, and
that, therefore, a commission to examine
and report upon the subject will be better
than the passage of the bill.
In the Senate to-day bills were reported
to prevent Interpretation of convict labor
to work on the District improvements, and
to make employers responsible to the extent
of $40, 900 for the injury or death of their en-
ployees when engaged in their service.

"RefOrm Them.''
Associate Reformed PRESBYTERIAN.


Our courteous. wide-awake neighbor, the Press
and Banner, thinks our remarks Of last week in
in reference to the dance and the theatre should have
been qualified. 1t says: I'VE cannot Imagine that
every dance and every stage performance is sinful"
We should be sorry to think that our language impli-
ed q CO condemnation so sweeping and extreme. We
spoke of these amusements in general. Only In that
way can their dissipating and irreligious Influence be
determined. There are no doubt clean plays, but
they are as "two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of
chaff." There are no doubt some sober bar-keepers,
but surely We are justified in saying that this bust
ness is unfriendly to habits of s0hricty.
Religiously, what has been the influence Of the ball
room and the theatre?
Soon after the Declaration Of Independence the
American Congress, passed the following:
WHEREAS, True religion and good morals are the
only solid foundation Of public liberty and happiness.
Resolved, That IL be and is hereby earnestly re-
commended to the several States, to take the most
for the suppression of theatrical entertainments,
h0rse.racing. gaming and such othe diversions rs are
productive VI idleness, dissipation and o general de-
Prayity of principles and manners;
This declaration, agreeing rs 1t does, with the gen.
eral testimony of the good in all ages, deserves Sc
nous consideration. 1t gives US the opinion Of men
who were certainly anything else than fanatical re-
formers: They judged ths stage by its fraits; and
the verdict of history is that it is hostile to "religion
and morals"
But our fiiend argues further: Since the stage will
continue forever; since it can not be stopped till
human nature shall be changed, IT would be well for
the church to seek to control it, md Thereby gain an
ally from an enemy whose energy would add
strength and effective power and happiness"
This experiment of reforming the stage has been
tried in England and America, and it has sig
nallv failed. SO splendid m actor rs Booth could not
maintain o paying establishment which rigidly cx-
cludeG tho low and immoral. The ideal stage is one
thing. the actual stage is another and o very different
thing; and whenever the theatre is made q fit and
proper place for religious people, then 1.-THE majority
Of its present patrons would vacate it."
The British Parliament, after q full investigation OF
the subject reported that the only way to reform the
theatre was to burn it down.

The Enlargement of the 'Press and
Banner.
To-day we issue the Press and Bdnnerln an
enlarged form. Candidly, we will say that
we take this step with some misgivings.
The increase of the cost of publishing the
paper in this form is considerable, while the
prospect of materially increasing Its business
Is only a remote possibility. A county paper
has only q limited field from which to re-
ceive support, and 1t may be that the expense
of printing the Press and Banner In Its pres
ent form and shape Is too great for the patron
age which we may reasonably hope to receive.
II so, no one will find it out sooner than the
man who prints 1t, and we shall not hesitate
to make any changes in the future, which
s.ay be needed.
Trusting that we may never be compelled
to retrace our step by reducing the size Of the
paper, we shall push forward with all our
energy and ability, to give the reader a paper
which may be acceptable to the public, and
remuneratiye to the proprietor.
Extending wishes for the continued good
health and prosperity of all our readers, we
entrust our cause to them.

DOES THIS SETTLE THE MATTER?
Aiken Votes Against Subscribing &c
the Carolina, Cumberland Cap and
Chicago Road.
NclcS and Courier.

NclcS GnU Courier.
AIKEN, October 22.-The election on the
question of subscribing to the Carolina, Cum
beriand Gap and Chicago Railroad was held
to-day and resulted as follows: At Aiken,
out of q total vote of al, subscription re-
ceivcd q majority of 30 votes; at Fountain
Academy, out of a total vote OF lI5, no sub
scription received q majority OF l} votes,
and at Montmorenci, out of Il total vote Of -,
no subscription received the entire vote. The
result of the vote at Aiken and Fountain
Academy is official. That from M~ontmoren-
,ci is from a reliable source, but the box has
not vet been brought in.
The canvass was conducted with great ami
nation and probably no election since 1876
has aroused such bitter personal feelings, but
Motwithstanding this fact the election passed
off in q quiet and orderly manner. At AIKEN
the barrooms were closed and a coinn!ittc OF
the Woman's Christian WCmprratce Union,
consisting of Mrs. ChaS. L. Il. Drtyton,' airs.
J,ucius Cuthbert and Miss Schotield were on
the ground dispensing hot coffee ana bread
without money and without price to all who
applied. It was q novel and most interesting
feature Of the occasion, and the presence ot
these ladies with their wholesome retreSh-
ment is Thought to lave contributed IN no
small degree to the order preserved. Intent
ant Davis and Sheriff FOLEY with q torcc Oi
only about six conStablaS were oil that was
found necessary to preserve order anu only
two arrests were made.
It will DO observed that Aiken township
has voted against the Subscription by = ma
iCrity OF 125 votes.
