A miesIssIPPI PROBLEM.

The election held in Mississippi yesterday
was very important one. It was for the
choice of delegates to a convention which is
to meet in jackson in two weeks to frame q
new constitution for the State. These dele.
gates are expected to limit the suffrage SO as
to cut off most of the negroes, and at the
same time not disfrauchise many of the
whites. Various ways to do this have been
proposed, but the Vicksburg Commercial
Herald is entitled to the prize. The situa.
ton, 1t says, is THE: IA large proportion
of the population of this State is 30 densely
ignorant that it must be prevented from rul-
ing by some means, or our lives, liberties and
property will not be safe, and our civilization
will be blighted." The proportion of this
ignorance is much greater in some counties
than in others; in Issaquena, for example
with q dozee negroes to every white, tht
Herald thinks that there are twelve
ignorant voters to one intelligent. Thes.

stitutional provision excluding from the suf

factories, placing them under one manage
ment, and the directors have confidence that
they will thus practically obtain control Of

ness may be judged from the fact that while
in 1860 there were but twenty-six factories
engaging about 2, $40 fishing boats, and em.
ploying 12,970 fishermen, last year th'
factories in operation had increased to about
159, employing 4, 4,274 boats, and giving WORK
to 81, 703 fishermen. As the promoters o

A FREE TRADE THEORY.

n Hh n d INA DE 'HHEOHYs
Free traders in this country are fond of
telling the farmers how much more grain,
ETC., they could send to England and other
countries if We only had free trade. The
London Financial Times, which is good au-
thority, has been telling the English people
what the result of increased imports of food
products would be. 1t said: To the general
population these raridly growing imports
means cheap food in the future. The price
will gradually fall as the imports increase,
even should our present business prosperity
continue, as fall would then ensue owing
to the large supplies placed on the market.
Should bad times. however, follow
period of prosperity, the result
would be still further fall in the price oi
beef and mutton, because the millions would
have less means wherewith to buy, and the
stream of imports would flow into this coun.
try. That this would be 80 is proved by the
fact that the lower the price of agricultural
| produce here the larger the quantity that ID
imported. This may be said in another way
viz that the larger the importation the lowe
the price, which is the fact, but the import
continue and increase after the lower price
have been established.
This is cheering idea. During the las
six years the grain growers of this countr
have had to sell the English what grain the,
wanted at very low prices. There is nothin
very attractive in the notion of selling ther
great deal more at a much lower price.

argues that she is too young to successfully
evade the truth.
Woman asserts herself even in China. In
the district of Sheing Teh, Canton, there are
various secret societies of young women

heard of San Antonio.n This does
seem strange, when the Dallas State
Fair and the San Antonio Interna-
tional Fair have been advertising side
by side for the past three years; but
this statement was made in a public
meeting in this city during the or
santzation of the Exchange. All
these things merely show that the
old methods and ideas must be revo-
lutionized; that spend money on litho-
graphs and big special editions does
not bring capital and investment to
San Antonio, and that the organiza-
ton that effects this must have long
business head, a wise view of things
and an inexhaustible fertility of re-
source. The Commercial Exchange
is putting the cart before the horse in
soliciting for funds before perfecting
its organization. Until that is done
and its executive officer determined,
the people of San Antonio are
not likely to put their money
into it. Organization and effective
organization must precede successful
work. If the secretary cannot be
found in San Antonio, and it seems he
cannot, let him be looked for abroad.
Upon him depends the success of the
whole enterprise. Find some man of
ability, with experience, successful in
his own business, a man of character
and address, economic in expenditure,
and tender him the position. Then
call in the money, increase the sub
scriptons, raise the fund, and use it
wisely.
