wouldn't do. We've got big majority in

Strong, who, having considerable property
in the town, would be materially benefited
by the upbuilding of Turley's Point.

Our Trouble WIN MOROCCO.

1t is all very well 10 protect the rights of
our citizens in Morocco, but before our gun
boats turn loose their thunder it would be
wise to make every effort to bring about an
amicablc adjustment of our difficulties.
In 1872, when We were engaged in war
with England, tie dey of Algiers sent out
his pira!ical vessels to rob our ships. Finally
an American brig, with its crew and passcn-
gers. WAS carried TO Algiers. The United
States demanded the release of the prisoners,
and the deyreplicd that hewould give them
up ON the payment OF 100000. He also
said that he wanted < portrait of Wash
inelon.
We actually yielded TO these impudent
demands, but We paid the money in driblets,
SO that il was two years before the last of
the prisoners was released. Later we sent
a naval squadron to Algiers and knocked
the dcy and his capital city into cooked
hat.
Now, the sultan of Morocco is next door
TO AlgerS, and he is fully as hard n case as
the old dey who gave us SO much trouble
in the early part Of the century If he has
allowed the Americans in his domiuions 10
be imposed upon he is not the man to make
amends until he sees that it is the best
policy. How TO make him see It is the
question. With the friendly assistance of
the great powers of Europe we could doubt
less induce him to listen 10 reason. But if
few OF oar shackly war tubs attempt to
force him = terms, they will run the risk
of being captured, and heavy ransom will
then be demanded for officers and crews.
The sultan OF Morocco is not very big
man, but he is able to defy our little navy.
We are not equipped for hostiliiies so far
from home, and so long as We remain with
ont war ships and Notifications, our safest
course will he 10 albitratc our differences
with other nations.

The Farmers Alliance.

We print this week full and explicit
statement Of the purposes and objects of
this farmers organization from the pres-
dent OF the state alliance of Georgia
The Farmers alliance has its enemies, and
meets opposition in many quarters, but
whatever may be said of It's details, its pur-
poses are high, and its growth is such that
1t demands earnest and serious considcra-
ton Of all men,
The farmer is the great producing power
of this and other countries. From the very
nature of his employment and location he is
isolated TO an extent. Communication be
tween him and his neighbors is difficult.
and in general sense is often impossible
This makes compact organization difficult,
and subjects him undoubtedly 10 opprcs-
sions that he could fend oil If he had the
force of discipline and cooperation
We need not ask the attention Of every
reader of THE CONSTITUTION to the pro
Hress made by this movement, and the de-
c.aralion of its principles as cnunciated by
its president in Our state. The subject is
one that has already forced itself on public
attention and il will command hearing
even IN quarters where il is unfavorahly
considered.
This is the fullest exposition We. made Of
the objects Of til, alliance. In THr Cox
BTIrUrloN it goes 10 l3l ,0lO hoInc, this
week and is read 10y nole than Cos, 900 poo

American newspaper can give il.

matter, and his conclusions deserve our Sc
rious consideration. In the Joliet prison
he found / ,494 conyicts. OF these 1,0o' had
a fair education, 129 being college graduates.
Ninety per cent were educated men. Ninety
one per cent had been Sunday-school pupils,
and over eighteen per cent were total abb
stainers. The most striking thing was that
the convicts were vi; trades, only seven
per cent having mastered trade.
The writer calls attention to the fact that
Chicago spends yearly $3.50 for each pupil
in her public schools and 333 for each ar
rest, but the city has never spent a dollar to
teach boy trade. London spends $780,
600 year on her trade schools, and the
question is asked
May there not be some connection between this
fact and the other fact that in lSS3 there was IN
London but one arrest for each fortycight Of tie
population, while in New York during the same
year there was one arrest to each twentyone ofthe
population; in Brooklyn, 70 twenty-three; in ST.
Louis to twenty and in Chicago, one to fifteen?
There is something in all this. The young
man who is turned out upon the world well
educated, temperate and with the advant-
ages of religious instruction is in very bad
fix If he has no money and no trade by
which he can earn an honest living. Under
such circumstances he will either commit
suicide or be drawn into a career of crime.
1t is different with the man who starts in
life with a good industrial education. His
services are in demand, and it is easier and
less dangerous for him TO earn money than
it is to steal it. He may be almost illiterate.
and indifferent about religious matters. and
fond of an occasional toddy. but the chances
are that he will work at his trade and keep
out of the penitentiary. Sentimentalists and
visionary reformers may not be pleased with
this way of putting it, but We may as well
recognize the true state of affairs and so to
work intelligently. If the poor young men
of the land are not taught how to earn an
honest living they will get what they want
dishonesty
