Farming in Chill.
[Santiago de Chilli Correspondents OF the Pitts

lSantlaRO ut SnAh Correspondents Oh
burg Dispabch.I
Like most gentleman farmers of Chilli,
Don William Henry does not live on his
country estate, but in the city, coming out
once a month or so to see how things are
going, and bringing his family for a few
weeks in summer time. But there are an
administrator de hacienda, a sub bsdminis-
trador, several overseers, and more than
one hundred poems. Farming is carried
on in this country much as it was in Eu-
rope in feudal times, or as in Ireland to-
day, each estate having its retainers, who
are provided with tenements, for which
they pay by stipulated number of days
labor every year. AS there is hardly any
middle class in Chili-only the rich and
the poor, the landlord and the tenant-the
haciendas are generally very large, and
are owned by nsbobs who seldom visit
them. Each has its big, rambling casa,
wherein the administrators and their fam
lilies reside, chapel, a commissary depot,
granaries, storehouses, wine vaults, and a
number of little cottages surrounded by
garden patches, where the poems live.
The latter are paid for their labor gene
rally not in money, but in orders on the
supply store, where, at prices optional
with the administrator, food, clothing,
chicha and rum are sold. Tenants are
usually given small credits at these stores,
and are for ever in debt to their landlords
AS the law prohibits their leaving the ser
vice of a man to whom they owe money,
they are thus kept in perpetual slavery.
When the men assemble in the morning at
the tap of the sunrise e-bell, an overseer
writes each ones name in a convenient
place: and when the days work is faith
fully done, puts mark beside his name.
At the end of the week the marks are
counted and each man receives his pay &C
cording to the score. AS rule, hacienda
dos and poems get along well enough to.
gether, and the servant will fight for the
master to the last drop of blood in his
body.
Tenants begin work at six a. m, having
| previously eaten desayune of bread and
| coffee. Then each goes off to that part OF
| the estate which is to be the scene of hi,
/ days labor, carrying with him a cows
horn of water and a small bag of meal
These are his rations for the midday break
fast, and not another mouthful will he ge
for twelve long hours, until he returns tc
| dine at six p. m. The meal is of roasted
wheat, ground on the small hand-mill with
which every hacienda is provided.
| We saw the men at their sunset dinner
and more contented and healthy looking
lot could hardly be imagined-crowded
around table of rough boards withou
any cloth upon it. the repast consisted
entirely of beans and peas stewed togeth
| er; but the administrator informed mi
with pride that all the lsborers on thi
model farm are treated to meat and pots
| toes twice every week.

British Policy in India.

The Manchester Courier prints an e1-
tract from a letter received from an officer
of the Assam Valley mounted volunteers.
The writer says:
"This unhappy affair in Manipur has
caused some excitement. 1t is reported
that the Senaputty is killed in the attack
on Grant at Thobal, which is a pity, for
hope he and his brother-the other black
guard-will be captured and promptly
hanged on the site of the murder; but
perhaps our government may simply send
him to some hill station on handsome al
lowance instead. They have queer ways
of doing things here. 1 often think that
if the viceroy lived here as we do, with
savage tribes all round him, instead of at
Calcutta and Simls, he might come to the
conclusion that severity to begin with was
the most effective and really most merciful
way with savages. Look at the Lushai
business. They attacked peaceful sur
vey party, killed Lieutenant Stewart and
two other Europeans, and carried their
heads back to the hills. A force is sent
up, burns some villages (which they can
rebuild in a week., and fine them so many
head of cattle. OF course the Lushsis
swear friendship, we build a couple of
stockades in their country, put few po-
lice into them, and march down again.
Not single man hanged for the murderl
A year or 80 ago was talking to an officer
who had been in the expedition, and he
said he thought there was sure to be an
other outbreak, as the Lushais had been
let off too easily. Sure enough, last Au-
gust or September they ambush and shoot
our political officer, Captain Browne
man knew very well-and besiege our
stockades. Troops are at once hurried off,
and Captain Swinton is shot as he is quiet
ly sitting in boat. We send troops,
scuttling off as before-more villages
burned and more fines exected, but not g
single man hanged from first to last. The
only man punished was the chief who as
sassinated poor Browne. He has been
sent down here to Tezpuer with all his
wives and belongings, and gets an allow
ance which is probably greater wealth to
him than ever he had in his native jun
giles The mistake, think, is the central
ization of government. Take Assam, for
instance, the chief commissioner is not al
lowed much rope, but is kept too much
under the yiceroy and his council. They
again are worried by both the India office
and Exeter Hall, and sometimes, as in the
case of the cotton duties, the interests of
the country are sacrificed to the interest of
party ct home.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR,

The convention Of Young Peoples
Societies of Christian Endeavor held at
Minneapolis called attention forcibly to
the magnitude of an organization which
has grown quietly, though rapidly. Fifteen
thousand delegates is a goodly number to
attend any convention. And when we
remember that the organization has had a
life of only about ten years it seems truly
wonderful. The movement began in
Portland, Maine. A minister, the Rev.
DR.. F. E. Clark, now president of the
national organization, wrought out the
plan for use in his own home work.
Neighboring pastors heard of it's success
and went or sent to him for particulars.
Then the story got into print, and letters
began to reach DR.. Clark from all over
the country. He was compelled to
tell the story in little book, ''The
Children and the Church." Presently the
daily newspapers took up the theme,
warmly commencing the movement edi-
torially and giving large space to news of
developments. From that time on prog
ress was something absolutely unparal-
leled. From nothing the growth in a de-
cade has been to 49, ,274 local societies and
a total membership of 1,0Os,9sO The
number of new societies added within
twelve months, or, rather, we should say,
the net increase in twelve months, is 5,261
an increase of over 30 per cent!
More power to this great organization.
There is need of all the Christian endeavor
that can be had. It will do good both to
whom it is made.

alone have paid out over $1,000 in boun-
ties in less than two months.

Captain j. B. Williams, of Alabama, is
in peculiar position. He was soldier
in the Confederate army. In May, 1865,
he was captured and released ON parole.
Now" he says, ''the strange fact is I
have never been released from that parole.
And, of course, until am discharged, I
am simply a United States prisoner on
parole have never taken the oath of
allegiance on that account. But there
need be no fear of my taking up arms
against the government. The politicians
may go ahead and do or say what they
please, I'll do no fighting against this
country's government. But if any one Of
those foreign people get into fight with
us, then's when I'll come out, get my dis
charge and go into the service" The
parole is yellow with age and almost worn
out at the folds. It is dated at Meridian,
and is signed by Colonel w. B. Miles, for
the Confederate States, and by Colonel
Henry Bertram, of the Twentieth Wis
consin, for the federal government.
If the newly discovered property of cot
tonseed oil, which has been so widely pro-
claimed, shall prove to be all that is
claimed for it, good judges are of the
opinion that the usefulness of that abund-
ant product is likely to be very consider
ably extended. The simplicity of the
process is valuable feature which gives
probability to such a result. One gallon
of pure cottonseed oil being placed in a
suitable iron vessel, twenty pounds of lead
are melted and slowly poured into the oil,
which at the same time is thoroughly
stirred, under which operation the lead
separates in globules, and when the oil is
poured off, after cooling, there is found to
be about seventeen pounds only of the
lead, the balance being absorbed by the
oil. On the lead being again melted, and
the operation repeated to the fifth pour
ing-the amount of lead absorbed being
less at each succeeding pouring-the total
amount of lead absorbed is about ten
pounds. The oil thus charged with the
lead is then used as paint, being applied
in the ordinary way to metallic surfaces,
which it is desired to protect from oxida-
ton or corrosion, the liquid adhering
closely and becoming very hard.

THE m,KINLEY Bill DID 1T.

IHE MIA AlNLEf BILL DID III.
The Mckinley tariff continues to justify
itself. For instance, there is rapidly
nearing completion at Irwin, Pennsyl-
vania, plate glass factory, the founda-
tions of which were put in shortly after
the passage of the Mckinley bill, which
will cover five and half acres of land
and cost with the machinery $S50,000. 1t
is the most complete plate glass factory in
the world, and when completed will give
employment to 500 hands at wages of
from $40 day to $125 month; and
produce goods; that, but for the American
tariff, would be made in English and Bel
gian factories. This new factory is to
manufacture the finest plate glass for
store windows, large mirrors, ETC., which
formerly had to be imported. It is the
eighth plate glass factory built in Amer
lea. Before these factories were built,
when foreigners supplied our markets,
the price of plate glass was 2.25 square
foot; but now plate glass, equally as
good, can be bought for rs cents square
foot.
One of the damaging effects of the Nc
Kinley tariff upon this country, according
to it's opponents, was to be great falling
off in our export trade, and especially in
manufactured cottons. For the ten months
ending April 80, 1891, we have sent abroad
SO, TAI 900 worth of colored cotton goods,
as compared with So, 765, 900 worth for the
corrasnondiDo r,ariod of 1900 Tho orao To,
portion Of this increase has gone to China,
nation with which our relations are not
on the most friendly basis, and where We
have the most powerful competition te
meet, in the manufactured goods of free
trade England, which have heretofore
| commanded the market.
Such facts as these can be understood
They are more powerful than the free trade
theories.

The Question at Issue.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The Hon. Lynde Harrison lays great
stress upon the question: Did DR.. Alsop
and Mr.. Phelan receive majorities of all
the votes cast at last falls electiona
He challenges anyone to dispute his
statement that they did. He is equally
sure that Judge Morris did not, but he
seems to think that whether he did or not
is not question of moment.
Those questions came up early in Janu-
ary last and the facts in the case were laid
before the general assembly. The house
of representatives promptly appointed its
members of the joint committee on can
vass of votes and referred the returns for
examination in the usual manner. When
ever the senate gets ready to do business,
appoints its members and concurs in the
reference, the whole matter can be prompt
ly and satisfactorily settled. In the mean
time, while the senate continues to sulk, it
is all nonsense for the Hon. Lynde Hsr-
rison or anyone else to PROFOUND
conundrums. There is and has been no
danger that republican house would re-
fuse to declare any man elected that was
found to be SO on proper examination.
The only question was what the Senate
would do if the 'fFor" ballots and Bridge
port ballots we're found to be legal. Fear
full of doing what they would be sorry for
the democrats in the senate preferred to
do nothing.
If Editor Porter ever proposed to en-
courage the democrats in the senate in this
do-nothing policy by irregularly giving
them all that they could hope to get in the
lawful and usual way, while General
Merwin was left to the tender considera-
ton of Mr.. Harrison, he is to be congratu-
lated upon the change of his views, wheth-
er that change occurred in a single night
or longer time.
The general assembly is required by the
constitution to examine the returns and
determine who, if anyone, has majority.
Ever since the constitution was adopted
that has been done through a joint COM
mittee, and would have been last January
but for Mr.. Harrison's senate If that body
stands "22 to 2' he ought to be able to
call them down. FAIR PLAY.

will be over 400 feet long. The cost of the

Molasses for fuel is the latest. The large
crop of sugar cane grown in Louisiana this
year makes it problem what to do with
the molasses. The output of molasses is
estimated at 81, 900, 900 gallons. 1t is rep
resented that this quantity is SO great that
there is no market for the lower grades,
| and the planters are at a loss to know what
to do with it, The Planter, the New Or
leans organ of the sugar interests, pro-
poses that the molasses be used as fuel in
the sugar houses in place of coal.
