Presents for the Poor.

1t is gratifying to note how well
the people of Clarksville responded
to the call from the Ladies' Aid So
ciety for presents for the poor people
of the city. The committee of ladies
who had the matter in hand met at
the courthouse early yesterday
morning, and they did not have long
to wait before presents began coming
in. They consisted in the main OF
baskets Of nice eatables, Of the
Christmas variety, clothing, etc.,
that certainly made the hearts OF
many people beat with Joy. Geo,
Mcdaniel was engaged with his
express wagon, and the presents,
which made several loads, were dis.
tributed under the direction of the
committee. The people of Clark5.
vile never halt when they are called
upon to aid worthy object.

A Splendid Tobacco Season.

Reports from the country indicate
splendid tobacco season, and as a
result there were not so many people
in the city as had been anticipated.
There were many farmers delivering
their crops yesterday, however, and
buying their Christmas goods. Sew
eral prominent farmers from the
south side were seen by a reporter
and they report that fully
half of the crop in that section is sold.
They say that the average crop will
not exceed So per hundred. The
bulk of the tobacco grown on the
south side is not fine as that grown
in other sections, and the above is
about the usual figure for it.

So tho Republican National Convention

So tho Republican National Convention

lated. The West is not muflng anything that

woolliness Of the Golden Fleece.

nesota is n pleasant place except In winter.

leans who abused this town last month and

tee yesterday must have felt n diminuendo

making a concerted protest against the hard
ships Of life and tho injustice Of employers
have really little reason to believe that fatter-
ing prospects are before them. All that has
been written about the collieries Of France
and England for several years tends to show
that upper seams are being worked out, and
that miners must go deeper and endure more
dust and heat. The fact that deeper mining
will add to the cost of production does not i'm
prove tho prospects that the miners OF the
future are to have better pay and shorter

would revolutionize the conditions under
| which the English soil Is cultivated.
But the Gladstonians go further and
| advocate tho extension OF Government aid
| to all English tenants DESTROYS OF purchas-
| ing the land they till. It Is obvious that the
thorough execution OF such plan would
result In substituting peasant proprietary
for the present relatively small body OF
landowners. Other social and economical
consequences would follow. The process OF
Transforming the English territorial aris-
tocracy into stock and bond holding plu-
tocracy would be fastened and completed.
The mass of encumbrances In the shape OF
iointures and settlements, which now rom
der the transfer Of land a complicated and
costly transaction. would be swept away.
and system of registration and guarantee
ing of titles, like that in force throughout
Australia under the so-called ToRRENs act,
could be introduced In England. Moreover.
IL an inference may be drawn from expert
ence In France and Flanders. the produce
tive capacity OF tho English soil would he
materially increased.
It was predicted by the Duke OF ARGYLL
during the debate OIL the GLADSTONE Land
act OF 1881. and again In 1886 when the
Liberal Prime Minister introduced his Land
Purchase bill, that 1t would in the end prove
impossible for the State to deny to English
tenant farmers the aid which 1t was lavish
ly bestowing on the Irish peasantry. The
Duke pointed out that however heavy might
be the burden devolved on the imperial ex-
chequer by an agreement to advance tho
money needed to transform Irish occupiers
into landowners. it would be insignificant
compared with that incurred through IN
assumption OF the same responsibilities for
England. Nor, indeed. Is there any doubt
that the sum requisite for enabling English
tenants to purchase the lands they cultivate
would amount to thousands OF millions of
dollars. There Is no reason to suppose.
however. that the issuance of Government
stock for the purpose would encounter any
insuperable difficulties, seeing that 1t would
be secured by a first mortgage ON almost
all the arabic soil of England. and the time
at which the paper would be redeemed
could be exactly calculated.
Tho Tories themselves could scarcely re-
sist such measure. except upon the ground
that it was inopportune. They have COM
mitted themselves to tho principle of land
purchase by applying it on large scale to
Ireland. Moreover. IL the experience of
France can DO trusted. the transformation
OF tenants into landowners would ulti-
matey make them conservative and erect a
formidable barrier against socialism. The
belief that such result would be observed
even in ireland was doubtless at the bot
tom OF Mr.. BALFoUR's willingness to ap-
propriate great sum for the creation Of an
Irish peasant proprietary. At all events
the Tories. remembering how largely their
present majority in Parliament is due to
the agricultural vote. will be reluctant to
offer violent resistance to scheme which
merely coptemplates treating Englishmen
as generously as Irishmen.

The Gladstonians and the Farmers
Votes.

The astuteness shown by the COnserva-
tives in outbilding the Liberal Convention
at Newcastle for the support OF tho British
trade Unions. has caused the Gladstonian
leaders to consider the expediency of add
Ing plank OF capital importance to their
programme.
Speaking at Newcastle. Mr. GLADSTONE
discouraged workmen from forming dis
tinct labor party. though he let it be UNDER
stood that his friends would promote the
return Of representatives OF the unions who
professed Liberal principles. On the other
hand. the Tories. whose interest it Is to
split the labor vote, which naturally would
be Liberal. have announced their willing
ness to back with money and influence any
labor candidates who declare their indie
pendcnce OF any existing political organi-
cation. 1t has been foreseen that this move
may weaken the Gladstonians In many
manufacturing centres. and GONE counter
stroke at Tory strongholds seemed indis-
pensable. The success Of the Liberal candi-
date in the recent y-election in Devonshire
indicated that overtures to the agricultural
voters. and particularly to the tenant farm
ers. might induce them to abandon the IN
ionist cause. to whose triumph In 1886 they
powerfully contributed.
The Gladstonians accordingly propose to
apply to England the agrarian legislation
which has been adopted for Ireland. They
aver, In other words. that English rents
should no longer be determined by free con-
tract between landlord and tenant. but
should be judicially fixed by Land Com
mission. The judicial rents. moreover
should not be immutab!e for any long term
OF years. but should. from time to time. DO
readjusted tn changes In the cost OF labor
and the prices Of agricultural products. Even
II the projected reform stopped here. 1t
