THE South offers the splendid ind lce-

fertile lands, large streams, numerous
railways and the most kindly, hospitable

Every man who has travelled through the
Southern States within decade has
brought back favorable impression Of
the opportunities offered there for any
enterprise, any talent any capital, any
plan for making money and for
doing good, to which the
restless energy of young Ameri-
can may wish to turn. The list Of

Ireneas Prime, OK Mayor Hewitt, Clark,
a Pennsylvania iron master, and Ran

have travelled to make OBJ
servations They all tend to
the same end, namely that the opportu-
nicies in the South are greater than
those offered by any other section in the
world. The only apparent reason why
they are not more freely accepted Is
political sectional prejudice. But
crime Is not more prevalent IN
the South than in the North Life anG

The message of President Cleveland
and the Mills bill had very little to do
with the Democratic defeat. If they had
they furnish ro ground for modifying or
taking step backward. The position
was right and II Is commanding more and
more the approval of the people That
unnecessary taxation is unjust can be
comprehended by any honest man, how,
ever ignorant If the necessaries of life
can be cheapened in the homes of the poor
without depriving the government of

must meet with popular favor. The assur-
ances so strongly given to the working
classes that the election of Harrison
would bring them better wages, followed
as it has been by general scaling down
Of wages, cannot fail to open the eyes of
thousands who had been blinded and de-
ceived by false pretences The multi.
plication of trusts and combines, which
have either been originated or fostered
by the high tariff, is having an influence
upon the public mind. The Democratic
party has only to stand firm
upon the ground taken in the
last national struggle to win
an easy victory in 1892. If it wavers OF
falls back from its vantage ground il
will deserve defeat. So rapid has been
the change in public sentiment in favor
of the Democratic doctrine Of tariff for
revenue only and reduction of taxation
to the economical needs of the govern
ment that If the election were to take
place now Cleveland would be elected by
an overwhelming majority The contri

makers, with the blocks OF five Judi

BILLS were introduced into the Legis
latures Of number Of states last winter
to restrict the sale Of dressed beef. In
the Pennsylvania Legislature there was
$50, 600 and a scandal in connection with
the bill. Bills were passed in several
states, notably Indiana and Minnesota
In those states the measure has been de-
clared unconstitutional In the Indiana
court Judge William Johnston Of Porter
county ordered the discharge of the
dealer who had been fined for selling beef
that had not been inspected while on the
hoof by the state inspectors. The judge
saws that the state has a right, by an
act of the Legislature, to refuse to
admit to her markets meats which are
uuft for human food, and she may take
such steps as are necessary to ascertain
whether or not the meats are harmless.
He added
No declaration, however solemn, and
no protest. however suspicious will
authorize her to exclude product which
is pure and hai mless.
Judge Houston declares that it is un-
constitutional to attempt TO exclude a
commercial product in advance without
examination TO ascertain its condition
If the law had been passed in Delaware
10 would have been promptly declared
unconstitutional But the effort was
made under the false theory Of protection
which has grown IN the country to such
an extent that some men do not know
the difference between taxation and
bounty. And many legislators don't
know the difference between a private
and public enterprise.

Two propositions for practical i'm
provement have been started in England
by the Maybrick trial. One is to allow
criminals to testify in their own behalf.
the other Is to establish a court Of ap
peal In this country there are usually
too many courts OF appeal to which a
rich criminal may apply, in England it is
alleged, there are not enough In the
Maybrick case there is no court Of appeal
from the decision Of Justice Stephen. In
Pennsylvania the creation OF Board Of
Pardons has decreased the responsibility
Of the jurymen, without decreasing tn,
liability TO injustice. In this countr,
some Of the states grant the accused tn,
privilege Of testitying in his own behalf
There have been agitations heretofore 70
the purpose Of admitting such testimony
but the movement has been stopped be
cause it was not proposed to extend it
benefits to Ireland.

A Descendant of Columbus Turns tn
For the Worlds Fair.

During the days preceding the recent
Washington Centennial relatives of the
immortal George bobbed up almost daily,
demanding special recognition by reason
of such relationship, and at this early
stage of the proceedings of a proposed
celebration of the discovery of America
by Christopher Columbus, lineal de-
scendant of the great discoverer, or one
who thinks he may be. has been heard
from. He claims to be the "only." His
name is p. p D. NJ Columbani, and he
writes thus to the mayor:
1T is with pleasure that | observe the
general interest displayed in regard to
the quadri centennial of 1892 to celebrate
the discovery Of this great continent by
Christopher Columbus, from whom, / be-
lieve, may reasonably claim a lineal
descent being of the same name born in
the same town of Calvi, in the Island of
Corsica, | have in my possession papers
signed by the mayor of the city Of Calvi
AMI by the sub prefect of the Arondisse-
ment de la Corse. Being familiar with
the customs of that island, speaking the
Corsican dialect, and very probably the

occasion, and therefore place myself at

The FieId Marshal Caught Mapping


When Editor Halstead returned from
Europe he stated in an impressive man.
ner, to the greater glory of our high
tariff, that the agricultural laborer in
Germany receives but 19 cents a day
Now comes friend of Mr.. Halstead who
quotes from a consular report prepared
by Republican official in 1884 and pub.
lished in 1885, to the effect that the aver
age wage of an agricultural laborer in
Germany is AZ cents a day At Kehl the
wage is 40 cents and during harvest 80
cents a day. At Cologne the regular
wage is 80. 6 cents, at Crefeld 81 cents, at
Bremen II cents, at Oldenburg 50 cents
and during harvest so cents. At Ham
burg the sumner wage is So cents day.
On being shown these figures Mr. Hal.
stead is astounded, but declares his in
formant was anAmerican- German gentle
man. who said he had himself gone into the
fields to inquire. His retreat is
made in this style: 'That which
was told him by his own
people is probably as trustworthy as any
thing that come through the consular
service. Perhaps the consuls do not
often 60 to the field to get the facts. .
Mr.. Halstead adds that he is disposed to
stick to his 10 cent story, and can't pos
sibly favor a policy that would reduce
American wages to so low a level he
forgets that Germany has high protec-
tive tariff, only less high thaa our own.
His error of errors is in thinking the tar
i'll raises wages, when in fact it lowers
them. Baltimore Sun.

Presbyterian Church Social.

Thursday evening last the people Of
Manchester and vicinity made a new
departure in social way by holding a
social on the occasion of the compile
ton of the new Presbyterian church in
that young town. The social was a
great success both financially and other
wise. All the good things served to
the assembled guests were donated by
the managers and their friends. The
variety and abundance of the refresh
ments provided evidence the spirit of
liberality and hospitality which exists
among the young people of the congre-
CATION.
After ample justice had been done
to the refreshments which were served
in the vacant store belonging to Bone
brake & Rice, the meeting adjourned
to the new church. 1t is a very neat
and commodious building, artistically
fitted up inside and reflects great credit
on Rev. Mr.. Glendenning and his ex-
cellent lady who were chiefly instru-
mental in erecting the church and did
no small part of the work.
The meeting was addressed by Revs.
Clark, Walker, Steed and others. The
service must have netted the managers
not less than the neat little sum of $50
which goes towards liquidating the re-
naming debt on the church.
