A Very Marked Contrast.

The address Of Senator Butler, Of South
Carolina, at the convention Of the Delta
Kappa Epsilon society at Middletown,
Conn, on Thursday night, when speaking
of political matters, was IN marked con-
Ttrast TO the speeches which Senator Sher-
man and Judge Foraker delivered in Ohio,
and which the Republican stump speakers
are now delivering in New York and Vir-
ginia.
senator Butler spoke as If he were en-
tirely satisfied with all sections of the
country, and as if he were as glad to meet
the people Of the North as the people of
the south. He expressed his satisfaction
that the institution which had kept the
North and South apart had been swept
away. He wanted developed a kind of
fellow feeling that would tend to knit the
country closer together. He declared his
confidence in the greatness of the future
Of the country, and said that it was too
great and that its interests were too many
10 be despaired OF.
How different this sounds from the talk
of Judge Foraker, the newly-elected
Governor of0hio, who is now engaged in
canvassing New York. Senator Butler
| sees a great and united country, and he
| speaks words that are calculated TO draw
the people of the different sections closer
| together, and to make them feel greater
pride In their country. The effect OF
Judge Foraker's speeches is to fill the
hearts OF the people of one section with
feelings of bitterness for the people Of an
other section. In his speech at James
town, N. Y, on Wednesday night
he insisted that the negroes
were not permitted to vote at the South
and that, therefore, the Southern States
should be deprived of part of their
representation in Congress and in the
electoral college. He even went so far as
to say that 'every man who put on the
blue and shouldered his musket in the
war would be Just as ready 10 shoulder il
again 10 vindicate the rights of an op
pressed people," He still persists in con
sidering the negroes an oppressed people
although throughout the Ohio campaign
he failed to present evidence Of anything
OF that kind.
1t is hoped that the time is not distant
when the people of the North will turn
with impatience from such sentiments a'
those of Judge Foraker TO listen witt
pleasure TO such as those of Senator But
Ter in his Middletown address.

! Tronhlesome Ouestion.

There doesn't appear to be any thing
more to be said on the broken rice ques-
tion. The arguments before the Secretary
OF the Treasury on Thursday We're e&aaus-
tive. Both the brewers and the planters
were given an opportunity to present their
respective sides Of the question iul!y, and
/ they svailed themselves oft.
{ The intima-ion Is thrown out that the
Secretary vii. 50 modify the present rul-
Ing OF the Treasury Department as 70 re-
quire the payment Of the same duty on
snickly broken rica a. on whole rice, viz,
/ 2l4e. per pound. Broken rice is now pay
ing a duty Of 20 per cent. sd yalorem, 1t
being classed as an uu-numersted manu-
iactured article.
Tie planters contend tlat II is not a
manufactured article, and, therefore,
there Is no provision Of the tariff law an
der which il can be admitted al less than
% per pound. Ii goes through 10 pro-
cess or manufacture. Il is simply the re-
suit OF the cieaniag and polishing pro
eessos tnrou III which rice is put.
The app-aLs-c Is, .ae New \ Crk custom
house decide s that lta.el rice must paw
tue same Uuf9 s. wuo'e rce because thrre
was no provision % The tard which made
a distinction between roo two grades OF
rice Tne Collector, however. oyerruied
the decision Of the app aiser, and ordered
broken rice % be admitted az duty Of 20
per cent. ad yal5rsm.
Why did the Collector oyerrule the ap-
praiserY Was be better fitted 70 pass
upon the rice question than the ap-
prsiser; Of course not. The appraiser
has been Ia the customs service a long
time aud is thoroughly familiar with the
tariG laws. The Collector is a new man,
and knows comparatively little re specting
the merits Of the broken rice question.
1t must not be forgotten. however, that
the brewers are the ones who are chiefly
interested in the importation OF broken
rice, and that they exert a powerful iu1u-
ence not only in the city OF New York,
but thrOugh0utthe North and West. The
influence OF rhe rice planters, from a
political standpoint, amounts to little or
nothing. Ever since this rice question has
been under discussion there has been
q disposition, apparently, to favor the
brewers. This has been the case Tor sew
eral years. In matters like this rice
question where the best Of the argument
is on one side and influence on the other,
it IS pretty safe TO assume that influence
will be victorious. However, Thursday
was the first time that Secretary Manning
has given his personal attention to this
rice question, and the intlmation Of the
probability that settlement Of it will be
reached that will be satisfactory to both
the brewers and planters is certainly
gratifying.

Romance of the Turf.

ing Dutchess had become infatuated with the
most successful JOCKEY in the world and pro-
posed to marry him. He was a widower, and
she had long been willow She was smit-
ten with love for the swarthv Jack, ana many
gentle overtures had been made. Her prefer
ence was never emphasized until the last race
meeting at Newmarket. Ftel Archer rode
Grey Hermit and ran dead heat with Mo
lena. When he had TAI ed to win, Archer
fund that his fee was f500 instead of the
customary fl0. just after this her ladyship
Droached the delicate ques ion of ma rimo-
nial partnership. Then Archer reflected.
Her ladyship is over GO years old and Archer
SONY 30. He wrote respectful answer to
her ladyshIps offer of an alliance, but the let
ter was charac' eristically hOrsey. He said
that he was Overpowered by the intended

A Check Upon His Daughter.

A remarkable defense was sctup a few days

ca Of short weight. The defendant, to-
baccOnlst was found b7 the police to be pos
Sessed of a pair of scales loaded with sheet
Of lead. which, Of course, 8cted against Gus
toners. He explained that he had daughter
''of rather prepossessing appearances" who
served in the shop, ana who. while talking to
customers, had acquired the habit of invari-
ably giving over weight. The lead was there
fore used TO balance this undesirable practice,
and the defendant "alwavs allowed for l.
when serving himself" The bench we're APP
pareHtly filed with sympathy on hearing this
amazing explanation, for they regretted
that the law compelled them to punish so ''re
spectable'' a tradosman, and. having inflicted
a trifng fine. they ordered the scales to be

The Attack ON DIR. Curry.

The attacks on DR.. Curry, lately ap-
pointed Minister 60 Spain, are shown to
he wholly without foundation. The
charge that he was one OF the officers
as the Andersonville prison, and that
be was guilty OF great harshness to pris-
oners confined there, was intended, OF
course, to excite a feeling Of hostility to
him at the North.
II is somewhat remarkable that so many
stories that are wholly false about men
appointed to prominent positions should
find their way into the public prints. II
will not do to say that the CORES pondents
at Washington-these stories generally
start from Washlngton-are responsible
for them. They don't manufacture the
stun they send over the country. II they
did great deal Of II would doubtless be
much better than II is. They simply
gather up and put into readable shape

tai, or what Is furnished them by persons
who are, or pretend 20 be, well informed
with respect to matters about which they
furnish Information.
About all these falsehoods which are
intended 90 injure prominent men are
put In circulation by those who have been
disappointed in not getting places for
which they have applied, or by political
enemies. The opposition papers are gem

/ The DcFuniak Forestry Congress.
The forestry congress that is to meet
at DeFuniak Springs on Dec. is ought 10
receive hearty encouragement from every
southern State. The Southern people DO
not realize the Importance of preserving
their forests. but it is certain that they
VIII realize 1t before many decades have
passed. The South s row a spiendidly
wooded country. and 1t is. therefore,
difficult 10 arouse much enthusiasm in
favor OF a movement in the southern
states looking 10 the preservation OF the
forests. There was a time in many OF
the Northern states when the suggestion
oi forestry congress would have been
received with ridicule. These States are
not so much interested in preserving for
ests now as they are in planting trees.
/ Their forests nave nearly all disappeared,
ana in consequence they are suffering va
rious evils. Floods inundate their valleys,
and long continued droughts destroy their
growing crops. Tree planting is being
systematized in the West.
Now Is the time Tor the South to take
hold Of this forestry question. The people
must be educated to a high understanding
of the value OF the forests. Before that is
done it will be impossible to secure any
legislation that will help to stop the reok-
less destruction OF the forests.
1t has been thought that the supply Of
timber in this State was inexh8ustible.
Opinions have been expressed lately by
those who have made the matter a subject
OF study that it will be about exhausted
IN half a century.
Lumbermen and naval stores producers
know how rapid the destruction of the for
ests Of the Southern States is, and if the
/ opinions of the most intelligent Of them
as TO how long the forests will last. if the
demand upon them continues to increase
as it has been increasing for the last few
years, could be obtained and published.
the public would be startled at the pros
pect of a comparatively naked country at
no very distant period.
/ The congress at DeFuniak Springs
| promises to be a starting point, so far as
the South is concerned, for the agitation
Of the question Of preserving forests. L,
is certain that there is no other question
relating to material matters that the
/ South is more interested in having agita-
! ted than this.
