The Situation in the South.

There seems to be general belief
that General Harrison will give consid-
cradle attention to the southern situa-
ton in his annual message. This
would be but natural, seeing that the
suppression of the republican vote III
the south, and the unfair advantage
thus obtained by the democrats, rank
among the most important questions of
the day.
This unfair advantage extends not
only to representation in congress, but
necessarily to the election of president.
How great it is may be seen by COM
pairing the official vote in a number of
northern and southern states with the
electoral vote Of each.
One vote in South Carolina has as
much power in the election of presi-
dent as five votes of Minnesota. Will
any intelligent man pretend to believe
that this is a healthful condition of

affairs, or fit subject for the fiippant
treatment bestowed upon it by the
northern democrats? Their favOIite
answer to such representations is the
suggestion-for they have no proofs to
offer-that the negroes are learning to
vote che democratic ticket. This is dis
proved by many circumstances, one OF
which is that in tile states in which the
negroes are thoroughly cowed cOmpar-
atively few whites take the trouble to
vote. and the democratic vote has fallen
off so much that it is absurd to suppose
that any considerable number of
negroes are voting that ticket. But a
still more important one is that in other
states where it is notorious the negroes
enjoy more liberty, they are evidently
still voting the republican ticket with
enthusiasm.
How is this to be accounted for ex-
cept upon the theory that in some states
the republican vote is thoroughly cowed
or counted out, while in some others it
manages to make itself felt, though not
to the degree that might be expected
with thoroughly honest elections? If
the negro is tired Of voting the republic
can ticket in Louisiana, why not in
Virginia? In the five states of Ala
bama. Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi
and South Carolina the republican vote
has fallen off since 1876, l66, $50 votes,
although the total vote Of tie country
has increased during that time 80 per
cent. Now take certain other south
ern states, and it will be found that
the republicans, instead of having
learned to vote the democratic ticket,
have increased their vote during that
time, though they have not always been
allowed to get their full share of the in
crease of the total vote.
These figures go to show the aston
ishing vitality of the republican party,
even under conditions that are not
favorable. They completely dispose OF
the theory that the disappearance OF
the republican vote in half a dozen
southern states is due to natural
causes.

GOVERNOR HILL has it in for Grover
Cleveland on all occasions. In his At
lanta speech he said he would tell them
something about Atlanta, But l left
my encyclopedia at home" Two day S
later, at Chattanooga, the democratic
governor used very nearly the same
phrases in declining construct south
ern audience in matters about which
they were better informed than him
self: 81 shall not say anything about
the remarkable development of the re-
sources of your remarkable country.
l have not brought my encyclopedia
with me, and you know more about
that than l do" These expressions
are taken by the Cleveland organs as
declarations of war and Hill will re-
ceive no mercy for ridiculing His Ac-
cidency's bombastic swing around the
circle two years ago.

trust being formed and successful under what
you are pleased to call free trade?-TThe News.
1t is very evident that the editor OF
our e. C. has religiously omitted to read
the press dispatches, of which he
speaks so Familiarity, when they were
from England or any free trade coun-
try. In Great Britain today there is
more massing of wealth, more cOmbina-
lions to depress or increase the price of
goods, more pools, more unhOly COM
binations in trade than anywhere else
on earth in proportion to the pOpula-
ton. 1t was but few weeks ago that
10000 starving labOrers paraded the
streets Of London demanding bread
and living wages and threatening to de-
stroy the best portions of the. city.
Why? Because by trust" they had
been compelled to labor for pittance
that our laborers would refuse to con-
slider at all.
A few months ago committee of
American workingmen went to Eng
land to compare the condition of things
there with those in this country. They
say this:
Chalnmakers, by working steadily, make Is
pence per day, which equals SO cents American
money. The rent or house OF two rooms, with
forge and two anvils. is shillings pence per
week (66 cents. One old woman, OF whom the
clergyman who accompanied us spoke very
highly, said she had lived in one house and
worked at one forge for seventeen years, and in
that time no repairs had been made except such
as were paid for out of her own earnings. The
husbands and fathers Of these chain and nail
making women are miners, working for such q
miserable pittance that it is absolutely necessary
for the mother, wife and daughter to live this
cruel life.
They attribute this condition OF
affairs to the gigantic trusts that con-
troll the manufacturing interests OF
Birmingham and vicinity. Can any
trust in America cause such suffering
as this? Do not the facts of the con-
dition of the working peoples lives
prove conclusvely where trusts flour
ish most-in protected America OF free
trade England? 1t is probably requir-
ing too much of the News man to eX'
pect him to comprehnd the logic of the
argument when he was unable to show
single fact controverting the REFLEC
TORS proposition.
American working people complain
o. slavish work and poor pay, and Otter
justly, but how happy is their condi
ton when contraSted with that of peO
pie such as those described in the Irti
Gle above quoted! What American
workingman of fair skill and bOdii!
Yigor is reduced to such a strait o
wretchedness that lis wife and LITTLE
children are compelled to labor .
days work year after year in order t
keep soul and body together? And ye
this is the condition that free-tradt
democrats would bring upon the work
people of this county, in order tha
American manufacturers might "com
pete with the world"
Bad as the situation in England nov
is when it concentrates the manufac
turing interests of the English domin
ion, how much worse would it be if til,
entire manufacturing Interests of IN
world were controlled by the wealth.
classes of a single country.

Blaine's Condition.

The papers have been filled with di-
versi6ed statements as to the condition
of Mr.. Blaine's health. 1t is stated in
some that he is broken down man,
physically; in others, that he never was
more vigorous. The truth lies between
the two statements. Mr.. Blaine is now
in his fifty-ninth year. For overtwen-
ty-five years he was conspicous factor
in every political campaign, both state
and national.
He would have been more than hu-
man if the excitement, the anxiety and
strain of political warfare had not left
their foot-marks upon him. Naturally
possessed of a robust constitution, tenn
perate and methodical in his habits, he
has been able to resist a pressure which
would have killed many men. He is
not as strong as he used to be-he ad-
mits that-but Mr.. Blaiue has still a
stock of vitality left which will enable
him for years to come to meet the ext
gencies in a creditable manner of any
position to which he may be called and
accepts.
He has, moreover, sufficient strength
to make his career thus far as secretary
of state a particularly successful one.
His observation-disclosures has made him a
most successful advisor and he has yet
to find stumbling block that he can.
not get over.
The democratic press worries consid-
erably because he does not make any
mistakes but he goes on quietly attend
ing to the nations affairs, magni1-
cent example of American manhood
and a statesman without superior.
President Harrison amid all his able
acts has performed none that reflected
more credit upon his judgment OF
added more to the success of his admin.
istration than when he called James
G.. Blaine to the head of his cabinet.

A CORRESPONDENT calls attention
to the evening exercises of teachers in
stitutes. Though the case is put
rather strongly we give our correspond
ent's words:
Many Of the best teachers Of the county have
come to regard the evening sessions of the dis
trict institutes as dismal failures. AS q meeting
where any new ideas upon educational matters
are obtained they certainly can be severely crit-
cised 1t is questionable If their influence may
not be elassed as harmful rather than beneficial.
II something cannot be done TO improve these
meetings, il would be better to discard them all
together. Few teachers can afford TO compro-
mise their dignity by rehearsing the same stale
selections again and again although the audience
applaud uproariously. If the meeting is to be an
educational one as it should be, some plan
should be devised to make it such.
