UNITED effort, to secure good prac-
teal advantages, must be carefully con-
sidered, deliberately planned and wisely
executed. There are some men en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits who are
as great "political traders as can be
found in other callings, and whom it
would be unsafe to clothe with iegisla-
tive powers, for caring more for party
success, political preferment and the
emoluments of office than they do for
the future welfare of their brothers in
the same calling, they would be likely
to barter the farmers dearest interest
to secure new lease of official power.
While we would dearly love to see
larger sprinkling of yeomanry in every
department of governmental service, it
would sorely pain us to witness the
farmer politician ride into office on this
" battle cry" The husbandman selec-
ted for legislative duties should be so
thoroughly interested in all that per-
tains to an improved agriculture as
to subordinate every other considera-
ton to the achievement of this one
great purpose .-Erchange.

BOGUS butter has found its way to
the island of Guernsey. 1t seems that
in 1885, 100 tons were imported and
over forty tons exported. There is no
factory on the island. 1t is supposed
that much of this bogus butter was
mixed with the genuine article and sold
as such. Under law just passed, the
person who sells, offers for sale, i'm
ports or exports, any imitation sub
stance for butter must pay fine of at
least S25 and suffer the confscation of
all his stock of such goods. All butter
produced in Guernsey must be stamped
with the name and address of the
maker. 1t is forbidden to put any
artificial color into Guernsey butter.
Where the production of choice dairy
goods and dairy cattle is of importance,
too much care can't be taken to guard
against anything that may reflect on
either.

A DISPATCH from Moscow says that
several of the wealthiest merchants of
that city have been convicted of adul-
terating tea. One of them was de-
prived of his civil rights and banished
to Siberia for life, and the others were
sentenced to different terms of impris-
onment. 1t is possible that such SEN
fences are unduly severe, but of the
wholesome effect which will follow
them there can be no doubt. The adul-
teration of any food is about the mean
est of crimes. Many such adulterations
are said to be harmless, which is posi-
bly, true, but in all such cases the
swindling element remains. We can
see no reason why the adulterer of food
should not be treated with the same
severity that we would treat counter
feiter of our coin or currency.-Con-
necticm Farmer.

" FARMING is hard, close business. :"
We all say that, and it is true. The
harder and closer a business is, the
greater the forethought, care and effort
needed for success in it. How greatly
the chance of success must be affected,
then, for good or evil, by the personal
qualities of the man engaged in it,!
Care or carelessness, economy or waste
fulness, knowledge or ignorance, sloth
or energy, are the human factors of sue
cess or failure in every trade, and not
less than any in the trade of farming.

THE SUEZ Canal was built by French
pluck and extravaganza. After it was
completed and the shares were of little
value, England became interested in
the enterprise, purchased heavily of the
stock and has since been in virtual con-
troll of the great ditch, which makes
money rapidly. England has done
nothing for the Panama Canal, and as
was the case with the Suez. has said all
along that the Panama would prove a
huge failure. So far as De Lesseps and
the present company are concerned, it
seems inevitable that they will fail; but
that the canal will not go through not
even its worst enemies will assert. It
will certainly be dug, and if England
can buy what. has been done for a
song, as she did in the Suez enterprise,
the United States may find that they
have been pooh-poohing when they
should have been wisely observant and
discreety active.

The sensational story telegraphed
from Indianapolis the other day to the
effect that q conspiracy had been entered
into to kill General Harrison, has
brought out the question of who would
be President in the event of Harrison's
death. Every four years a similar
query is propounded, and it is always
yariousIy answered, showing wide
spread ignorance of the details of our
electoral system among men who
should be familiar with it. If Gen.
eral Harrison were to die to-day
no one could tell who would be Presi-
dent 1t might be Morton, or Blaine
or Sherman, or Gresham, or Alger or
anybody else. 1t is true, the Presiden-
tial election has been held. and the
assumption is that Harrison was
elected President, but as matter of
fact no President has been chosen and
none will be until the meeting Of the
Electoral College next month. Even
then, the electors will be bound by no
written law to cast their votes for Har-
rison. Honor binds the Republican
electors to vote for him, bat if they
were to cast their ballots for
another man they could not be
lawfully prevented or punished. If the
electors of New York and Indiana
were to conspire to elect Cleveland, and
we're to give him their votes, Cleveland
would be the legal President in spite of
the votes of the people last November
General Harrison being out of the
way when the College meets in anuary,
the electors would be free to vote for
any other man. The probabilities are
that they would elect Morto. President,
as he would be entitled to the place in
the event of Harrison's death after
election, and would probably be the
only person on whom all could agree.
Failing in this, almost chaos
would be apt to prevail, and
the election be thrown into the
House of Representatives, as it is not
likely that in the short time for con-
sultation an agreement could be had on
any man, or that any man would re-
ceive a majority of the 401 electoral
votes which would be necessary to elect.
The suggestion of Harrison's death
before the meeting of the Electoral Col
lege exposes another flaw In our method
Of selecting President.

A THIEF PARDONED.

Hopkins, one of the men who wrecked
the Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati, has
been pardoned by the President. 1t
was represented to Mr.. Cleveland that
the ex-bank official was in the last
stages of consumption, that he could
live but a short time at most, and that
it would be a Christian act to permit
him to die at home surrounded by
friends, instead of compelling his spirit
10 take its fight amid the locks, bolts
and bars of prison. 1t is easy enough
to End sympathy for a man who COM
mits crime in the heat of passion or
as the result of great provocation,
and in his sober senses sincerely
repents his deed: but it is hard
to understand why sentiment should
stand between a man like Hopkins and
his punishment. He deliberately and
with malice aforethought stole money;
he stole from the depositors and robbed
the stockholders, and did these things
with full knowledge of the enormity Of
the crime he was committing. He
stole systematically and covered his
tracks as best he could. Finally, when
there was nothing more to steal, and
his detection came with the collapse Of
the bank, carrying distress and poverty
to many homes, he :. becomes re-.
pentent and asks public pity. and
official mercy, the latter of
which is accorded him. If there had
been more money to steal. if he could
have found more victims to his scoun-
drelism, the probabilities are that in
stead of being convicted felon, Hop
kins would to-day be living in grand
style, giving freely to the church and
charity. If he shall go along in the
regulation way he will proceed to re-
cover his health and prepare himself
for robbing friends and creditors. The
pardoning power is rarely exercised
with discretion, and where it is used in
a case like this it nullifies the law and
encourages to wrong-doing.

AN EDUCATIONAL OUALIFICA.
TON,

South Carolina having set out to solve
the suffrage problem in the way in
which it should be solved everywhere
in this country, howl is raised that
the negroes are to be disfranchised In
that State. A joint resolution has
been introduced in the Legislature pro-
viding for the submission to the people
of an amendment to the constitution
making the citizens ability to read
that instrument, as also the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and to write
his name condition of his voting at
any election, municipal, State or ma
tional. The resolution will be adopted
by the Legislature, and it is believed
that it will be accepted by the
people. The cry is that it will dis
criminate against the blacks, and keep
many of them away from the polls. If
this is true, the disgrace is on the
negroes and not on the people who will
adopt the amendment. AS broad
proposition the man in America who
cannot read and write ought not to be
entrusted with the ballot. He is an
ignorant person. and consequently q
dangerous one. He does not understand
the theory of the government and with
out direction is incapable of using his
vote intelligently. This applies to whites
and blacks, to foreigners snd to
men of native birth. Twenty yesrs
ago law requiring an educational
test of this kind might not have been
entirely fair to the negroes, as they
had not had the opportunity to learn;
but during the past fifteen years schools
have been open to them everywhere in
the United States, and in most States,
South Carolina being among the num-
Der, they have been free. If the negroes
have not learned to read and write it
is because of their stubbornness or in
capacity, and in either event the ballot
should not DO given to them, any more
than it should be given to the ignorant
whites who have Stunned the
schoolhouse. A good deal has been
doneIfor the negroes, and it is high time
they began to do something for them
selves, and the best place for them to
make start is with the alphabet.
1t would be better for the country
everywhere if an educational qualifca-
ton were required as condition of the
right to vote. Ignorance at the polls is
almost as I'D as corruption. both being
destructive of good government. We
always feel like applauding judge who
refuses to naturalize man who has not
read the Constitution, and there is less
excuse for an Americans neglect in this
matter than for foreigners.
1t is to be hoped that South Carolina
will go ahead with the proposition, and
if it results in the Acknowledgement of
negroes they know how to recover
citizenship.

pleased with Harrison's election. Some
body thought it worth while to investi-
gate the matter, and his inquiries
develop the fact that every man in the
delegation voted for Harrison; some
contributed money to the Republican
campaign fund, and all are open and
pronounced protectionists. A cardinal
principle of the Democracy is tariff
for revenue only, and any man who
does not believe in and subscribe to that
is not Democrat. The leading text
of the Republican faith is tariff for
protection, to which the Birmingham
visitors subscribe.
