tries and fair elections are to be the
two leading planks in its platform.
This new departure in Southern poll
tics has been inaugurated by meet
ing held at Birmingham, Alabama,
composed of one hundred leading
manufacturers. capitalists, and bust
ness men of that State.
A member of the Southern delega-
zion that called upon Gen. Harrison
for the purpose of assuring him that
they recognized the necessity of set
Jling the race question by reviving in
the South the Protection sentiment
gave the following good reasons for
the new parity
past; tits gone forever. The election of Gen,
Harrison and the certainty of admission of two
or three new Republican States, strips the South
OF her former power IN the national pohucs. Inc
break up Is upon Us. We must look to arrrang-
ing, new lines, and IN doing so we propose to
make new alliances and to bring about settle
ment of the perpleNIng race issue"
We earnestly hope that this pro-
gramme will be carried out. A solid
South serves no good purpose, and
the sooner it is broken up the better
it will be for the country. This, how
ever, is a work that must be done by
the Southern people themselves. Moth
ing, of course, can be expected of the
Bourbon element. But there are
enough of young men in the South to
accomplish the work that the new par
ty proposes doing.

The Forum begins the new year
with an exhaustive discussion by Sen
ator Morrill, of Vermont on the sub
iect which Mr.. Butterworth'S resolu-
ton in congress has made uppermost
the annexation of Canada. He re-
views the agitation of the subject
from colonial times and discusses
commercial union, which, he holds, is
unconstitutional, and political union,
which should be sought by Canada
and not by US, pointing out the prac-
teal political disadvantages of adj
hitting a number of states with Brit
ish political ideas, and the possible
European complications. Senator
Morrill, regards political union as in
evitable, but he does not think it
ought to be sought by US.

The ANERIcAN GIRL ABROAD
Protection for the manageable En-
glish spinster, retaliation upon the
untaxed American girl. This is the
dreadful cry raised by GA North
Countree Maid" in a Yorkshire paper.
She thinks that American Young Wo-
men in England have too soft thing
altogether, and that it is time ga
North Countree Maid" and her sisters
went over to the States to retaliate.
If this controversy lasts very long the
consequences may be very serious.
When women have a war among them
selves the best thing men can do is to
60 and delectate themselves at safe
distance. 1t will not be long before
this correspondence about the Ameri-
can girl becomes a mere indictment of
men. The maid from the north coun-
try says that the imperishable charm
of dollars is at the root Of all this
American marrying. Thus, with true
feminine malice, she has a fling at
both sides. She is very angry with
the American girl who wrote the other
day that English wives belong to the
''barn foEF' order of women, and that
man can trust them with his bills,
but not with his ideas. The northern
maid opines that English women are
more intellectual than American wom-
en-, if it is permissible to judge from
the works of American lady novelists.

A well-attested report reaches us
that Gen. Harrison "has determined
to have one representative southern
man in his cabinet" and that his
choice has "narrowed down to three
persons, Malone, Golf and Gen. Felix
Agnus of the Baltimore American"
No doubt Mr.. Golf might be consid-
cred representative southern man.
He was secretary of the navy during
the last two months of the President
Hayes term, and he is a man of prom
inence and popularity in his own
state. Not a word can be said against
Gen. Agnus' title to be considered a
representative man, but in heavens
name, what sentiment, what principal,
what party, faction or clique in the
South does William Malone repre-
sent? If it is Gen. Harrison's opinion
that the Republicans of the South are
a gang of political thimble-riggers,
then by all means he should select
Malone to represent them, but no
other reason would justify such a
selection.

The great event of the year in agricul-
tural circles is the announcement by the
american Agriculturist of a stupendous
prize crop competition. That sterling
magazine offers $500 in gold for the larg-
est yields per acre of corn, wheat, oats
and potatoes grown by its subscribers.
This offer is supplemented by other spec
ial prizes, making it possible for nearly
any very large yield to get a remarkable
premium and, under certain Circumstance
es, the first prize taker can secure 81 300
in gold besides having the crop. just as
though he were not competing for these
princely prizes.

SHOOTING WILD GEESE IN DAKOTA.
In Dakota there prevails among the
natives a most inspiring method of
pursuit. When at distance you per-
ceive flock of geese garnering the
golden grain in blissful unconscious
ness of approaching evil, he tacks
up toward them in most unconscious
and Innocent sort of way, just as
though he had some funny business to
attend to in that particular field. The
geese feed on unconsciously, doubtless
connecting the approaching team with
plows and oxen and teamwork, to
which they have long been accus-
toned. Finally, when the team is
nearly in range, they become some
what suspicious and prepare for fight,
tapping their tails and stretching
their necks toward the other. This is
the vital moment. The jehu applies
the wimble good, and the brouches
fly over the prairie with the wings of
lightning. The hunting wagon sails
over the plowed ground, occasionally
striking the solid ground to get a new
start, while the hunters hang desper-
ately on the seats, and are filled to
the eyes and ears with stubble, plowed
ground and chaff. A goose although
generally keeping up with the intellec-
tual procession upon such an occasion
as this, is reduced to a lamentable
state OF desuetude. Filling the air
with incohereRt lamentations, they
rush about hither aud yon, undecided
whether to fly or fall molly in the
breach. Now, a goose has to get
run to give it a start when it rises,
and as it can only rise against the
wind, if you approach on the leeward
side, the goose is compelled to meet
you half way. Thus one has ample
opportunity to ruffie the plumage of
such bird before it can get we'll out
of range.-MtnneapoliS Tribune.
