Governor Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, was elected as a sort of Cincinna-
tus, a farmer so truly democratic that
he scorned the favor of all powerful
corporations. Scarcely, however, was

tions; particularly the railways. lie
accepted and used free passes, for which
some Of the South Carolina papers are
attacking him. In the course Of the
controversy the Charleston Nelcs and
Courier prints the following extract
from a letter addressed by the govern
or to the general manager Of the Rich
mond and Danville railroad system.
The governor says:
aMy first impulse was to return II;
because IN tie past / have criticised
members of the Legislature for accept
ing free passes, aud do not care to
be placed in a false position. But af-
ter thinking over tho matter | have

Commonly a free pass on railroad

such a pass may be a special cchrtesy,
but that is not the rule. The railroads
arc almost constantly coming into con-
tact with national, state and city gov

portance to make friends of all who

The governor of South Carolina Is no

viously made a most virtuous outcry
against members of The legislature, he
has certainly placed himself in aqueer
position. If tor any reason, he had
felt that the requirements Of courtesy
had constrained him to accept pass,
he could have done so without being

temptation to the governor was too
great. Having tho pass, he used IL,

May know what sweet majestic face

Aitho o"poPefaf Nuficos
There are some very serious facts
that need 10 be taken into consider.
alton at this time. Cotton is cheap.
er now than it has been since 1856;
a period Of thirty-six years In New
Orleans, middling cotton Is worth
only II cents, which means about
7 cents at Port Gibson, and the tens
deney is to still lower prices, Uh.
less some disaster befalls the grow.
ing crop, so as materially to shorten
the yield, il is highly probable that
farmers next fall will not receive.
more than s25 a bale for their cot
ton. This opinion is general among
business men, and there seems to be
no good ground for doubling its
soundness.
Here is n most discouraging ohta
look. Can cOtton-growers live when
thei- crop brings them only six cents
pound, which is probably what
they will get for it7 They might
"pull through" If they had plenty
ofcotn. oats, meal, meat. etc. of
their own production but as they
have been buying all these necessa-
ries on credit, and at high prices, tho
prospect is anything but cheering.
They have bought great deal of
corn this season, and it has been
charged 10 them at an average price
of about s1.25 per bushel. This
would be a heavy drain on their
pockets even were cotton worth $40
a bale; but il Is ruinous when their
staple brings but s25. This is the
situation that our people must face;
and we repeat that ii is a very sefi-
Gus one. The truth may as we'll be
frankly acknowledged Unless un-
expected relief comes In the shape
OF better prices for cotton, season
of ha.d times will soon be upon us.
Let the people do what they can to
prepare for it by practicing the
strictest economy.
All this emphasizesthe oft-repeat-
ed truism that profitable farming is
out Of the question Unless the farm
er raises his own food. Until that
is done, there can be no real pros=
perity in Mississippi.
And it can be done. Our farm
ers, if they will; can drive out Of
the state every pound of western
meat, every bale Of western hay,
every bushel Of western corn and
pats; every barrel Of western meal
and potatoes, yes, and every Ken
lucky bred mule and horse. Let
claiborne county produce all these
things for herself and she may
again be as prosperous as she was
in the boasted days ofslayery. But
If she persists in buying them from
the west, and In seeking 10 live on
cotton alone, she will never know
but poTertyi debt, and
Encouragement.

To show how irreverently The dh-
ty is sometimes perforated, and how
little reverence it inspires in The

proceedings of the Iowa democratic
convention held last week at Ots

prayer by Rev. J. II. Lloyd, whose
invocation that the convention
might be einspired by the sentiment

Economical Living

One of the subjects talked and written
about good deal at the present tine is
how to live cheaply. Prices for all the
great staples of life are high. Rents are
enormous Fashions are exacting Wants
multiply while resources diminish. How
to make strap and buckle meet is the
problem which presses On hundreds of
housekeepers. 1t Is what Is done to keep I'D
appearances that destroys the equilibrium
between outgo and income, and makes
life a drudgery and vexation How to
1--we cheaply is a question easy enough to
answer If one will be content with cheap
living. Substitute comfort for show.
Put convenience in, the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be beguiled
into style of living above what is re-
quired by your position In society and is
justified by your resources. Set fashion
OF simplicity, neatness, produce and in
eXpensiveness, which others will be glad
to follow, and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without thousand
and one pretty and snowy things which
wealthy people purchase. aud pride YOUR
self with being just as happy without
them as your rich neighbors are with
them. Put so much dignity, sincerity,
kindness, virtue and love into your simple
and inexpensive home that its members
will never miss the costly fripperies and
snowy adornments, and be happier in the
cosy and comfortable apartments than
most of their wealthy neighbors are in their
splendid establishments. 1t does not fol-
low that in order to live cheaply one must
live meanly. The best comforts of life
are not costly. Taste, refinement, good
cheer, wit, and even elegance, are not ex-
pensive. There is no trouble about young
people marrying with no outfit but love
and health and an honest purpose, provid-
ed they will practice the thrift and prud-
ence to which their grandparents owed
all their success, and make their thought
and love supply what they lack in the
means Of display. Those who begin life
at the top of the ladder generally tumble
off, while those who begin at the foot &C
quire steadIness, courage and strength of
arms and will as they rise.-Anon

Will Not Serve IN Prison.

PARIS, Jan. 3.-O'Brien will not resume
the conference with Parnell unless the
proposed negotiations obtain such a sane
ton from the leaders of the majority of
the Irish party as will justify the hope of
a reunion of the party. In the meantime
O'Brien declined to state whether in the
communications between himself and Dill
Ion, Mccarthy and others, they promise
the approval of further negotiations The
opinion of the Irish group in this city is
unfavorable to the resumption of the con-
ference at Boulogne. Nine Ratfolovitch,
O'Brien's mother-in-law says, O'Brien
will not return to Ireland to enter prison,
leaving the party feud unhealed, while the
rupture lasts, she says, he can better serve
the cause here or in America.
