grower OF the West as it takes his surplus,
thereby enabling him to force higher price
IN his main market the home market But
after all 1t is the home market that is his
great reliance. Were this home market d.
mlnished in capacity the farmer would be
FORCED to place his reliance more upon the
foreign market. But that is not market of
indefinite capacity by any means. 1t is
merely the English market; and Russia, In
dia, Austria, Hungary, and several other
grain growing nations, are all rushing to it.
1t may serve the American farmer temper
airy purpose, but it is not his main reliance;
nor can it be said to fix the prices of his pro-
ducts. 1t would be as correct to say that New
York elected Cleveland in 1884; New York
bore conspicuous part, but it was the solid
south that bore the heat of the day. 1t
would be as sensible for the Democrats to
Ignore the South and give all the credit to
New York as it is for Mr.. Carlisle to ignore
the home market and represent the foreign
market as the great receiver of our farm pro-
ducts Both markets are necessary to the
prosperity of the farmer Of the West at pre-
sent; but the home market is of vastly the
most moment and quietly and unseen does
the most to fix the prices. Neither is it true
that the articles the farmer buys are so large
ly increased in price by protection as Mr..
Carlisle would have his readers infer. Com
petition at home keeps prices down to the
level OF the line of comfortable living for the
American artisan, and the farmer cannot af-
ford for his own good to have them go lower.
for this artisan is better customer to him
than all the grain BUYERS of London.

Governor Goodell, of New Hampshire has
addressed the county attorneys, sheriffs and
citizens generally of that State, on the SUBJ
iect of the liquor law, with view to increas-
ing their zeal in its enforcement. Several
similar proclamations have been issued in
the State of Maine, but their effect has not
been astonishing. The difficulty in the way
of the enforcement of the law In New Hamp-
shire is the same as in Maine. In certain To-
calities public sentiment is not up to its Wig
orous execution. And that difficulty can no
more be removed by executive proclama-
tion in the Granite State than in the Pine
Tree State. The difficulty is not peculiar TO
the liquor law, though there is a popular i'm
preston that such is the case. The laws
against lotteries are neglected more than the
laws against liquor selling, and so are the
statutes In relation to the observance of Sun
day-and for the reason that the public SEN
timent behind these laws is not SO strong as
that behind the liquor law. Doubtless, Gov
ernor Goodelis proclamation will be looked
upon by many simply as piece Of buncombe,
but there is no good reason to consign it to
that category. 1t is no doubt honestly in
tended to increase the efficiency of public
officers and rouse the public to the evils of
the liquor traffic. But that it will do either
for any length of time is highly improbable
The sentiment Immediately surrounding
public officers is the one that will control
them in the long run. If that happens to
tend towards vigorous enforcement,
vigorous enforcement is pretty sure
to be had. If, on the contrary,
it is Iukewarm, or inclined toward a dis
eliminating enforcement, then that kind of
an enforcement, or none at all, is pretty GER
tain to be the result OF course, it can be
argued-and there is no answer to it,-that a
public officers duty is to enforce the law
without regard to the view people take of it,
but experience has shown that very few pub
lie officers will live up their duty to that ex-
tent

We have for long time considered the
Portland Press one of the best of the Maine
dallies, and in some respects the best of them
all-personally it is our favorite newspaper,
with the exception possibly of the Boston
Herald. 1t is, beyond question, the leading
Republican journal of Maine, and on that
OF that way Of thinking. Although positjSv.ss
in its Repnblicanism, it is as llttls: tainted
with partisan prejudice as INV naSer in
either party we are acquai.ss,ted with As a
newspaper IL compares Smlpares favorably with the
kIsal metropolitan dailies, and covers its own
readers who want heightened, conservative
daily, we cordially commend the Press, and
guarantee that it will fill the bill every time.

This mornings dispatches furnish another
striking example of southern lawlessness.
A band of white men have raided the Jail at
Blrnwell, S. c., and hung eight negroes
awaiting trial on charge of murder. There is
sometimes an excuse for lynching. Where the
courts are corrupt, as was the case in the
early days of California. and there is little,
reason 70 expect Justice then tbss..com com.
munity may be justified. as matter of self
preservation, in taking the punishment Of
c,imes into their own hands. But there is
no excuse Of this sort in South Carolina.
The courts are not corrupt, and certainly
there is no reason to fear that they will ac-
quit negroes against whom reasonably
strong case is made out. The raid ON the
Barnwell Jail was not therefore justified OF
pilliated by any fear that justice would not
be melted out by the courts to the alleged
murderers confined therein, nor was it sug'
gested by any such fear for no such fear
could have existed. 1t was conceived and
executed largely as an exciting adventure,
in a line with burning of negro cabins and
the whipping of negro men and women. Sc
common has lawlessness become in
the South, and so tolerant of it is
the so-called better element, that
it is exceedingly doubtful if the lartci
pators ia the Barnwell lynching look upon
their acts as criminal at all. If they should be
arraigned in court for murder they wonid
doubtless look upon such proceeding as an
outrage

AtchiSOn Topeka / Santa FG
Railroad Company.

In April last. we asked you to to intrust to
us your proxies, to be used at the annual
meeting of the company in May. This re-
suited in a change of management, the intro
duction of reforms and economies, and q Ii
nancial reorganization of the company that
has met general approval.
During the progress of this reorganization,
1t has been frequently suggested In the public
press and by numerous and large holders of
the cOmpany's securities that II would give
greater stability to the recognized company
if a management committed to the success
full working out of the plan of reorganiza-
ton, and absolutely In the interest of the
property, could be secured for several years.
Consulting our own inclination and con-
venience, we would prefer to leave the man
agement of this good property to others; but
we recognize the force of the suggestion and
the necessity of some such arrangement, and,
as many shareholders believe that great ad-
vantages are likely to result to the holders of
all classes OF the company's securities from
such cooperation. we have consented to act
in the matter.

President Hippoyte of Hayti is.confront-
ed with serious problem, precipitated by
the announced intention of France to send
back as her minister to the island, Count
Sesmaisons, who was the French Min
i'ter under Lesitime's government. and was
violent partisan of the latter. Sesmaisons's
partisanship during the recent revolution
was notorious. and all the weight of his in
fuence and that of France as far as he could
control it. was thrown on the side Of Legi.
time. OF course, therefore, he is persona
non qrota to Hippolyte. But uippoi,te is
afraid to reject him lest he earn the diSpleas-
ure of France thereby aud thus enlist French
Influence in behelf Of another revolution
which may overthrow him. Yet to receive
him is to degrade his government in the eyes
OF his people, and excite a contempt which
may be as dangerous as Frances di pleas
ure. To help him out of his quandary he is
looking toward the United States. If he
could be assured Of the moral support of
our government in the rejection of Sesmai-
sons he would keep the Frenchman out of the
country, but without it he dares not act. AS
Sesmaisons fundamentally interfered to pre-
vent the surrender of the Haytien Republic
to the United States, it looks as though our
government might object to his return with
out exposing itself to the charge of inter-
fering with the internal affairs of another
country.
