.REyIyFD CONFIDENCE.

one Of the first effects of the mere pros
nect of the final passage of the Force bill
"a 10 infuse a new spirit Of life into the al
most defunct Republican party the South.
The platform adopted by the Republican
State Convention Of Arkansas on Wednes-
dav. and the resolutions Of the Republican
state Committee of Virginia, which met in
Washington on the same day, show re-
Siyed confidence which the Southern Re
publican leaders have not experienced Tor
many wears. The two sets OF resolutions
might have been drawn by the same pen,
so similar are they in their rhetorical en-
preston as well as in general sentiment
They dwell almost exclusively on the ques-
ton OF Congressional elections, the Arkan-
sas resolutions, however, exhibiting more
;nbilant condition Of mind with reference
M The Election bill than tho Virginia res
olutions. which dwell at greater length on
the frauds which are alleged 10 have been
committed in this State by the Democrats
an mast National elections. The bitterness
and vindictiyeness Of the disappointed poll
,ician are found running through the whole
of the latter resolutions, but their false
statements arouse only contempt in the
minds of all who are familiar with the
facts.
The Virginia and Arkansas Republicans
alike discover in the Force bill the supposed
means of acquiring political power which
they could neither claim nor hope TO attain
if they were not to be backed by the Fede-
raj Government in every usurpation which
they nav attempt hereafter. Ii is evident
that 10 both there is an odor Of political car
mage in the wind in the prospect OF the re-
turn Of a period similar &c that which fol-
lowed the inauguration of the reconstruc-
tion measures. during which the lowest ele-
ments in every Southern community tram
pied upon the rights of all that were re-
spectacle and conservative. That period
however, can never return. The Republic
can party found il impossible to keep the
southern people under the heel of the ne
groes, scalawags and carpet-baggers, at
,he time when the South was pros
traied and exhausted by the Ions
struggle of the civil war. 1t IL
not at all likely that twenty-five years after
the close CT that struggle, when the South
ern states have reached high state OF de
velopment, when its population has in
creased and its wealth grown enor
mously. its white inhabitants can be rele
gated by an election law to the condition
from which they rescued themselves whei
circumstances were far more adverse u
them than they are now.
The very worse result that will flow from
the operation OF this law win be the severe
strain which it Will put upon the relations
of the two races, which in all importan
elections, State as well as national, VII
lead TO scenes Of violence, which will b
seized upon BY the Northern Republican
as an excuse for a further curtailment o
the political rights Of the Southern people

THE FABMERs' ALLIANCE.

The position taken by the Farmers ALI
auce OF North Carolina, with reference TO
all political Offices to be filled by popular
election, is the one which is suggested by
the soundest wisdom and the truest patriot
ism, In the light Of the peculiar political
conditions prevailing in the South. That
posi,ion is, neither 10 indorse nor support
independent candidates, but TO enter the
various Democratic conventions In the per-
sons OF their delegates, and to cast their
votes IN favor Of the men who most nearly
represent The bes, interests Of the farmers
organization.
This Is entirely proper, from whatever
point IL is viewed. IL the farmers hold the
balance OF power, or control absolutely the
majority Of the delegates in these con,en'
tions, they are entitled TO dictate the
choice 10 be made. No one. for In
stance. can iind fault with the action
of the convention OF the Fifth dissfici
Of North Carolina, which was composed
In larger part o. farmers, and which, on
wednesday, nominated q representative
farmer 10 Congress. IL the farmers shall
have the preponderance Of voting strength
In ali OF the Congressional copveEtions TO
assemble In that state before the elections
take place In the fall, ID IL only right that
they should employ that preporderanee TO
advance the best interests OF the pursuit
which they follow. No one can justly criti-
else the adoption Of such policy by them.
They have suffered enough Ia the past, II
win be sdmiited BY all, for not having
taken the steps that were required to make
their influence felt Ia the political affairs Of
the state.
And this Is true not only Of fhs farmers Of
North Carolina, bat also OF the agricultural
sissses In al parts Of the United states ~

A very curious addition TO Shakespereana
comes this week from Germany. The Royal
Library at Stuttgart contains "A handsome
old autograph book supposed 20 have been
the property OF Duke Frederick l., Of Wury
temberg. 1t has the signatures of lot Of
contemporary notabes, each with date
and motto, aud "A considerable number OF
these are Danish. On one page together
under the date Of 1871 are the signatures Of
Jorgen Rossenkranz and l.. Guldenstern.
II is possible not 70 believe that Shakes
peare knew Of the existence Of these two
Danish courtiers when he wrote ''llamlet,"
but how he heard Of them, or where he
could have seen this book which puts them
together, much yexes the exact Teutonic
mind.

CREAM OF THE PRESS.
Current Topics Clipped From the Lead

Commercial Bulletin.l


The partial reports or estimates OF the
population of cities, which are now being
published, are not entirely reliable, but
doubtless approximate closely to the
truth, except in few cases where sup
posed errors, in one direction or the other,
have caused recOunts to be ordered. Even
these supposed errors may perhaps nearly
balance each other, since the many prob
able omissions through neglect or in
efficiency will be relatively small, while in
the few instances OF reported fraud, com
paratlvely large additions TO the population
are supposed to have been made. In 1880
there were Just twenty cities Of 100000
population or over. This year there are
already reported twenty-seven, but nearly
all the cities which can have exceeded 100
900 in population have now been reported,
Albany has q recent local census TO support
the claim that the population must now be
over 100000, instead Of %, l6S as officially
reported, gain Of only 1910 in ten years,

heard from, may possibly make the twenty
ninth city OF the first rank. But emitting
