" SOUTHERN ATROCITIES >

Senator Gail. Of FLORIDA, gave the notorious
Chandler. Of New Hampshire, square blow
between the ewes a few days ago in the
Senate. when he accused that champion
southern outrage grinder, with being re-
sponsiblc for political murders in Florida.
II seems that Chandler had pounced on
rare outrage morsel, over which he gloaied
with ecsiaiic delight. in the killing OF
Deputy United States Marshal in Florida,
the result Of a political disturbance. For
this. Chandler held the entire stateofflorida
responsible. and took occasion 20 reiteraie
his time worn denunciatlons against the
whole South as semi-barbarous and muir
derous section. where life and limb were re-
garded as matters Of very minor consid-
Grafton.
Senator Call spoke the truth when he
retaliafed upon Chandler and others OF his
kind as being the real instigaiors Of all the
political murders committed in the South.
II is they alone who by their incendiary
speeches and utterances delude simple
and ignorant class Of Southern citizens into
the belief that they are being oppressed
and imposed on, and are being deprived Of
their rights by the ruling element. In this
way excitement is aroused TO fever heat,
riots are melted. outbreaks are produced
and, as a natural consequence, the weaker
20 to the wall and become the sufferers.
All this is brought about by the deliberate
action Of Northern incendiaries, such as
Chandler, and it is done in cold blood and
with malice aiorethought. These Northern
instigators Of Southern atrocities would
willingly see every one Of their dupes COM
pletely exterminated. if by that means they
could manage 10 hold ON TO their political
power. When will the poor Southern vic
tins Of Radical greed find out that the Chand-
lers OF the North are their worst enemies
and that they can only look 10 the Southern
whites for real friendship and projections

Ynnnr Heir. 70 KlngshIr.

Il isa striking fact that many Of the
heirs to kinehip are young people; some
indeed, are very young.
The heir apparent, for instance, OF the
ereat German empire and the Prusslan
kingdom is the little Prince Frederick
William. who is only years Of age
Should he die before reaching maturity
his Younger brother, Prince William,
now aged 6, would become the heir
The heir 10 the Portuguese throne, to
which Don Carlos has just succeeded, Is
Louis Philippe. prince Of Beira, who Is
only 2 years old. The future queen of
Holland. Princess Wilhelmina, has re-
Gently completed her ninth year, and Is
likely TO succeed her aged and decrepit
father ere long.
The present king Of Spain, Alfonso
XIII, is not 4 years old, and came to the
throne ut his birth. his father having
died before the little king came into the
world. Should be die before marrying
his eldest sister, the lnfanta Dona Maria
de las Mercedes, now o years Of age
would succeed to the Spanish throne.
Some heirs TO European thrones have
Just arrived nc young manhood. Grand
Duke Nicholas of Russia and the Duke
of Sparta i'm Greece have recently cele-
brated the completion Of their twenty
irst year. Young Victor Emmanuel
prince of Naples, the heir to the throne
of Italy. was 20 years old last Noyem
ber Thus il appears that, with the
exception Of Great Britain and Austria.
Hungary, the heir to every important
European throne is younger than the
constitution of the United States re-
oures a member of congress to be, and
Prince Otto, the heir presumptive TO the
Austrian throne, is only 90 years old.
Moreover the succession in England
belongs to the Prince Of Wales, who is
% years old. But it is said that the
Prince Of Wales health is precarious
and it is not improbable that his mother
Queen Victoria, although she is 20 years
old, may outlive him. In that case the
heir to the throne would be Albert Vic
tor, the Prince of Wales eldest son, who
IS now 2j years old.
a few years older is Gustaf, duke Of
Wcrmland, who is the heir to the throne
Of Sweden and Norway, and is now 81.
There are, of course, several heirs to
thrones who are past middle life, but the
large proportion Of young people at this
time is remarkable.-Chicago Herald.

IT is gratifying TO know that the Demo
Gratis are sometimes able TO outwit their
cunning and INSCRIPTIONS opponents. The
Democratic Legislatures of Ohio and Mary
land, believing the present arrangement of
Congressional districts in those States TO be
unjust, determined on more equitable di-
vision, and proceeded 10 redistrict accord
ingly. In both the United States senate and
House, the Republicans endeayored 10 pre-
vent this movement by introducing bills 20
the effect, that until the census Of 1890 was
officially announced the Congressional dis
tricts.in all the States shall remain as they
are. Seeing through the plans Of the Repub-
licans in Congress, the Legislatures Of Ohio
and Maryland hurried through their redis-
tricting schemes, and they became laws
before the Congressional measures could be
acted upon. Now even, If Congress passes
the proposed bills, and the President signs
them, they cannot apply to the States
named, as they would be, so far as those
States are concerned, retroactive and en-
post fqcto laws, in direct variance with the
United States Constitution.

Yet, al this very time, the agitation over

We had occasion some weeks ago, 20 refer

This Is in accord with the course Of action
which has been pursued SO successfully in
New York, by the Tariff Reform League OF
that state. The example Of New York In
this respect will probably be initiated in a

Nuhcl way OF Ilophsailhs MUSES.
Recently | was conversing with a po-
liceman who is a rose enthusiast, and
be told me he had strong bushes Of some
Of the best hybrid perpetuals upon their
own roots, that he had rooted himself
in a way quite new to me. Having OBJ
tanned a suitable shoot, or several of
them, they were placed in an ordinary
bottle which contained some water, and
this bottle was hung upon the wall of
the house in q sunny position and there
left, water being supplied to make up
the deficiency caused by evaporation
In this water, which often becomes very
warm from the heat Of the sun, the cut
tings remained, and after a short period
they calloused, when they were taken
out and dibbled into pots in the ordinary
way, the formation Of the roots soon
taking place.
The above plan was claimed as expedi
tious, as the cuttings calloused much
sooner in water than they did in the soil
1t is known that many things root read
ily in water, and oleanders are frequent
ly propagated in that way, whilst some
Sedum Specialize that ! have lately had

fore the flowers faded. With the roses.
if cutting is once nicely calloused, success
is almost a certainty, and if this needed
state can be brought about By immersion
OF the base in water. We then have q
simple and valuable aid to rose propaga-
ton, because it is much easier TO preserve
alive a cutting placed in water than it is
one in the soil during its early stage

Though the high license question has
not yet come up for formal discussion in
either the Senate or House of Delegates. it
is recognized as an important public issue
that must be considered and disposed of be-
fore the adjournment Of the General Assem-
bly,. 1t would be wise. therefore, If our leg-

session israpidly drawing 10 "a close. give
the subject an early consideration.
The demand for a high license law is such
that il cannot Doe ignored. As a measure Of
revenue il is almost universally regarded
as one that is Indispensable. As an avail
able source of relief % our Oyer-burdened
