The recent dedication of the Grady
monument recalls the fact that all eyes
were turned on the gifted yonng Geor-
gian for solution Of the problem that
confrontg the South in negro suffrage.
One of the inscriptions on the monu-
ment says" When he died he was liter
ally loving nation into peace" and
this is true as far as the effect of his
wonderful el0queuce was concerned.
But the race problem is practical, and
the solution cannot be found in mere
words, however friendly or fraternal
they may be. IT Mr.. Grady had lived,
the nation had reason to expect that he
would present plan to put into practi-
cal shape his rhetorical promises of
peace and good will, but he died and
made no sign. 1t is doubtful, indeed,
if he would have proven equal to the
task by offering a solution different
from the many which have already
been saggested.-Raton Reuge AdTo-

being pushed on the war ships now
nearing completion, indicates that the

Alexandria Times: There are mauy

we'll know that Judge McEnery is stiff
opposed to the lottery; who very well
know that the tidal wave sweeping the
State in his favor has nothing to do
with that question; that the contrast
between his administration and that of
Gov. Nichools has caused a revulsion
IN. public sentiment which directs the
minds of the people to Judge McEnery
as emlnently the man for the occasion.
1t the amendment carries, the Governor
of the State, whoever he may be, will
be powerlegs to prevent it's operation. If
defeated, those who favored it will, if
McEnery should be the governor, be at

the knowledge that the office is filled by
a man who will devote ali his time and
ability to the discharge of its duties-at

There is much division Of opinion on

finally. Let us have the peoples vote

where legislation is favorable instead
of hostile. The way to get cheap
money is to make laws for the collec-
ton of debts which are fair and DO
not encourage rascality, and leave the
rates of interest to contracting parties,
except so far as necessary to protect
the victims of the dire necessity
against greedy usurers. The question
of the rate of interest will then settle
itself, competition, just as it has already

could have done. No law can make
money cheap to those who have bad
credit, any more than it can make a
fool wise, or drunken man sober

Senator Turpie's proposed amend
ment to the constitution, providing
for the selection of United States sena-
tors directly by tine voters of the states,
instead of the legislatures thereof, has
much In its favor. In the first place
it would not violate the dual principle
contained in the constitution, which
recognizes both the states in their
sovereign capacity and the popular
will Independent of the states. Sena-
tors would still be representatives of
the states, as distinguished from
members of Congress, who represent
the people and the nation more direct
ly. Senators thus elected would more
surely be the choice the state than
under the present system. 1t often
happens now that the legislatures
choose men who do not represent the
actual sentiment of the state, and
whom the people, if they had say
in the matter, would have rejected.
And then, in addition to above con-
siderations, there is an immense ex-
pense to the people in electing q. S.
senators under the present system.
As evidence of this fact we refer to
the states of Illinois, the Dakotas and
other states where senators have been
elected and where the contest is still
going on, involving hunnreds of thous
ands, ifnot millions of dollars expense.

A Farmers Talk to a Farmer,

A Farmers Talk to a Farmer.
A farmer correspondent of the Fer
gus Falls Journal writes as follows:
/ do not claim that but many new
laws are needed and some old ones
changed, but, brother farmers, are
there no mistakes made at home? Are
we as class as saving as we should
be9 Are we looking after the little
things as we shoulda Are we caring
for our machinery as we shouldE L
have in my mind now one farmer who
has at least 5000 worth of machines,
etc., standing out exposed to the
weather. No reason whatever is there
why he should not house it, as he is
able to do so. 1 claim that this
waste in weather-beaten machinery
alone would pay twice the amount OF
the American tariff that the farmers
are paying in this country. Then there
is the waste of time in the winter.
Many farmers only work about six
months in the year. do not think
it necessary to work as hard in winter
as in summer, but there is much that
can be done in winter that will save
hiring in summer when the wages are
high; such work as getting wood, pre-
pairing fuel, hauling out manure and
much other work that will save the
hard earned shekels of the farmers.
Uncle Sam gave the farmers their
land; many of them extravaganza
mortgaged it and now they want the
government to loan them money at l
or per cent. and take security on the
same land. That would be nice for a
little while, but there would be a day
of reckoning some time and most OF
the land would revert to the govern
ment. What then? Why, our child
rem could take it as a homesteads; but
will some of the reformers tell us
where the cash is coming from after
the duty is taken off from all imported
goods.
Morris tribune., 1891-02-11
SpeculatiOn Over Ruins.

The strange story, told on good author
ity, of the ruins of q great fortified city,
built of dressed granite blocks, found on
the MashonalaDd plateau, in South
Africa, has given rise to a great deal OF
curious speculation, for its history is
wholly unknown. Many OF the walls
are completely covered by the dense
Jungle, and very old trees grow on the
top of the ruins. IF the city or fert was
built by natives it must have been IN
remote periods Of time, when there was
a higher civilization than now, but 1t is
inst possible that the fort was con-
structed under the direction of early
Portuguese explorers and by the aid OF
cheap slave labor.
Only superficial view has been made
of the ruins, but light may be thrown
ON the mystery when the houses them-
selves have been explored. Light Is be-
ing rapidly turned ON the Dark CONT
nent, and the stories that come from 1t
are as interesting as those semitic Europe
from this country 800 to 400 years ago.
Then, however, the news was not wide
" disseminated. Now every one who
chooses can learn from day to, day what
is going ON in Africa as IN other parts OF
the worsd.-Exchange.
