AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK.

In an interesting and thoughtful article suE-
gested by the improved prospects OF asricni-
tural productss the Southern Planter for May,
after dwelling at some length on the bright
enipp outlook for the farming interests, takes
advantage of the occasion TO give expression
TO certain sentiments with reference to legls-
lation in favor of agriculture which we hope
will have the hearty endorsement of all en-
gaged in the different branches of that occu-
patton.
I'VE hold strongly" remarks the Planter,
that the natural forces atwork are going to be
more potent for the good of agriculture than
can be legislation of whatever character, and
we hare infinitely more confidence in the
operation of these forces than in legislation
for achieving'the end sought. They will be
more potent for good than all odd Hutch's"
corners and combinations for evil. No doubt
legislation is needed upon subjects, but the
tendency of detected men is TO rely too
strongly upon desperate remedies, regardless
of the fact that in the past the application of
such remedies has too often proved worse
than disease. We desire to avoid this by
instilling into the hearts Of the farmers hope
Of better times, and such hope grounded not
upon mere surmise, but upon careful e1-
animation of the facts now bearing upon the
subject matter"
These facts we ourselves have from time TO
time pointed out at some length; notably in
recent artcein review of Professor Davis very
able contribution to.the Arena for May on the
subject of the outlook for the cereals.
The Southern Planter quotes from letter
which it has lately received from a London
correspondent which confirms the reasons
for greater hopefulness among agriculturists
which it has set forth in the article to which
we have referred. According to this CORE
respondent wheat is selling in London at
forty-three shillings quarter, which is equiv
alent TO $l.3O bushel, and as showing the
confidence of the market in the stability Of
prices, the French are buying up the American
Drop, which has not yet matured, at $1.25
bushel.
Indian corn is selling in London at ninety
FIVE cents bushel. These prices of corn and
wheat are likely to be sustained abroad be
cause the South American crop Of corn aud
the European crop Of rye are failures.
All the indications would seem TO insure
series of prosperous years for agriculture.
The surplus from oveiproduction has been
exhausted. and there promises now to be
steady and profitable demand for every form
of aoricultursl products

SOUTHERN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

One Of the most creditable phases of the
history of the Southern States since the close
! Of the war has been the successful effort
which these States have made to establish a
public school system which would extend all
J the benefits of rudimentary education TO mem
bers of those classes in the community who
are unable to secure instruction at their own
expense.
The public school system vas practically
unknown in the South previous to the in
auguration of the regime which now prevails
It was au importation from the North upon
which was visited at first the suspicion with
which all importations from that section were
regarded in the Southern States in the begin
ming of the period that succeeded the con-
hict between the North and the South.
Every year has only seen the public school
system more firmly intrenched in popular
esteem and supported by more and more en-
lightened views 1t had for very long time
80 contend with heated prejudice and active
hostility but fortunately the distractions so
created have been removed, and nothing of
Importance stands in the way unless it is
present inability TO make very large appro-
priations, to prevent the public school system
from being carried to the highest state Of de-
velopment.
When the impoverishment of the South by
the devastation of the war is considered and
its slow recovery from the ruin into which it
had been plunged, it will be seen that the
Southern States have shown. in proportion TO
the means at their disposal, the very highest
liberality and generosity. TO the needs of the
public school system. demands on other pub
lie accounts have been subordinated by South
ern legislatures, even when these demands
were of a moro pressing nature In cOnse-
quence of this spirit, the Southern public
school system has continued TO grow firmer as
a great institution which is constantly ex-
panding in usefulness.
In the course of the last year covered by
the report of the census devoted 10 national
education lthe public school enrolment of
the South increased to degree unprecedent-
ed, showing that with the lapse of time there
is growing readiness in this section TO utilize
the opportunities which the system furnishes.
The gain in enrolment in many of the South
ern States. according TO this report. has ex-
ceeded the gain in population. which is the
most striking confirmation Of the increasing
popularity Of the system that could be offered.

A sOUTHERN MAGAZINE.

The scheme Of establishing a Southern
magazine, which excited so much interest
few months ago, does not seem now to be at
tracing the attention which it deserves on the
score Of its intrinsic nevis. The obstruction in
the way Of the practical realization OF :he
scheme has been the amount OF capital which
is needed to place great.magazine upona foot
ing in the beginning which would furnish
guarantee of permanent success. IL has been
clearly recognized that ii would be very inju-
dicious 10 establish Southern magazine of
the highest rank without ample means to sus-
tain itin It's inevitable competition with North
ern periodicals of similar character.
In a recent interview with a representative
of the Atlanta Constitution, Colonel Richard
Malcolm Johnston, a most competent writer
and one who has enjoyed the best opportuni-
ties for acquiring much practical information
with respect to the cost of sustaining maya
zine of the first order, stated that 1T would
take a great deal of money TO inaugurate such
magazine in the South"
'aIhe mere tact that it il q Southern publ
cation" he very truly said would not give
it living circulation in the South; nor even
secure for it the cooperation OF Southern
literary talent To compete successfully with
The Century and Harper's, Southern maya
ziue would have to be as good rs they are.
To appreciate that proposition those maya
zines cost no less than 600 to $40. 600 and
have on hand. and paid for, enough matter to
keep them going for three or four years.
Southern people, like other people, will Sc
lect the best magazine at book-stand, and if
the magazine published in Atlanta isn't rs
good as the ones published in New York they
will prefer the New York magazines.
"Then. it wouldn't be practicable or bust.
nessike TO expect contributions from any
source at a less rate of compensation than IS
paid in New York. For example, NJ. Joel
Chandler Harris could not be expected to fur
nish us an article for $50 that he can get $500
for elsewhere People that write for living
are almost invariably poor people. Ourwrit-
ings are not merchandise, and we must get
the best price we can for them. There is no
room for sentiment So magazine estab-
ished in Atlanta-to sum it all up-wo1ld
need thoroughly competent business and
literary management and a great deal of
money"

Of Southern children who stand in need Oh
public assistance In their education VIII 90
found upon the lists of the public school.
In Mississippi the gain in school enrolment
exceeds the gain in population by thirty-four
per cent. and in Arkansas by sixty-hve per
cent. In Texas the contrast is still more I'M
pressive and suggestive. the gain in school
enrolment running ahead of the gain in popu-
lation by about ninety per cent. The pro-
portion in a very large majority OF the other
States ia not so great as in the instances just
named, but it is, nevertheless. sufficiently
striking to show the advance which the pubic
school system is making in the esteem OF the
Southern people and the rapid enlargement OF
its general sphere of usefulness.
There can be but one reGult OF this CRAFTY
ing condition Of afairs-nsmely, that more

The death of Most Rev. William Conner
Magee. archbishop of York, removes from the
Church of England one of her most brilliant
minds and active workers. He was born in
Cork in 1921, and was only appointed arch
bishop of York on July 18th last, succeeding the
Most Rev. William Thomson, d. D., who died
December 8, 1880. Dr. Magee, previous to his
appointment as archbishop Of York. was
bishop of Peterborough to which position he
was appointed in 1863 on the death Of Dr.
Joune. being. it is said, the only Trinity Col
lege Dublin man ever appointed to an Eng
lish see. Mr.. Magee was frequently selected
as one of the special preechers at st. Paurs,
Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal
Whitehall, as well as at Windsor before the
Queen.
IT has been discovered that under the Nc
Kinley law imported queen bees are subject
to duty of 20 per cent. The clause allowing
the admission free of animals ''for breeding
purposes" requires that AL such animals must
bring with them pedigree; but as no one
has ever yet taken the trouble 10 record the
ancestry of queen bee, those useful little
creatures must pay duty or keep out of the
country.
