The American Red Cross Association
recommend that all further relief in
tended for Russia be diverted to the
flooded districts in the West and South.
Our last relief ship, the Tynehead, is due
in St. Petersburg in few days with two
hundred thousand bushels of Iowa
maize. 1t is thought that this will be
used for seed, and that it may result in
the general Introduction of the culture
Of maize into Russia. 1t is safe to say that
there will be several other important re-
suits from the aid we have given Russia.
1t will strengthen the sympathy between
the two nations, already made strong by
Russia's timely sympathy for us in the
dark days of the Rebellion; and large
tide Of Russian emigrants will be started
towards the generous land whence has
come the plenty. The story of Ameri-
cas- sympathy has already penetrated
every Russian hamlet; and will be a
fireside story for generation.

A record to be proud 0f-150 negroes
lynched, seven burned alive, one fiayed alive
and one disjointed during the past year in the
United States of America.-Springfeld Repub-
lican.
AL of these outrages were undoubtedly
perpetrated by white men in communi-
ties where it is not customary to rely
upon the courts for legal redress. That
barbarities such as have characterized
only the worst Indians, have been perpe-
trated by any white men in America is
hard to believe. Yet the Springfield Re-
publican's statement is probably true.
Within few months the Governor of
Texas has issued a proclamation relating
to the action of a mob that had burned a
negro at the stake. The colored people
are not the only men who need education
and civilizing influences. One of the
strongest arguments ever made for the
Blair education bill was contained in the
remark of South Carolina negro politi-
clan, who said: "The greatest good for
the negro will come from the education
of the whites of the South. That done,
public sentiment will not allow us to be
treated with such injustice"

CURRENT COMMENT,
HOW TO MAKE THE STATE MORE PROS
Porous.
Augusta New Age.]

Augusta New Age.1
The Democratic state convention ought
to advance some measures by which the
farming towns of the state may be re-
lieved Of some Of their heavy burdens of
taxation There is need of it. The
alarming drift of our rural population to
the cities, which the census discloses, is
largely due to the heavy taxation with
which the farming communities are bur-
dened.
Many objects of taxation, for the sup
port of which the rural towns are exclu-
sively charged, are of general interest and
common concern and, therefore, should
be made a charge upon the common prop
erty of the state.
What concerns the cities more than
good roads? All roads lead to them and
are for their benefit, as well as for the
convenience of rural inhabitants. And
yet the rural town is charged by the laws
Of the state with the exclusive mainten-
ance of its highways, miles and miles OF
them with expensive bridges, however
poor the town may be. It is burden
too heavy to be borne by poor towns fol
the public good and general welfare.
Certain it is, we shall never have good
country roads, nor a prosperous and con

ways-the main thoroughfares leading to
our cities-are made state roads support
ed by the state.
Then, education is a matter of general
as well as vital concern. This fact is al
ready recognized in mill taxi by which
the whole property of the state is taxed
one mill on the dollar and divided pei
capita of the school population. Let the
mill tax be extended and the support OF
our schools be a charge upon the whole
property of the state.
! There are other burdens which should
be distributed and lightened in the inter
est of the farming towns and also as &
matter of economy. 1t is hardly too
much to say that, all things considered,
| millions have been spent in litigation be
tween towns under our pauper laws. AL
| most every town in the state has had It'll
parper suits and there is no litigation
| more expensive and harrassing. Their
some towns are bound to support The
paupers of all surrounding plantations
How much more just and economical
and better for ali concerned, if there
were no town paupers"-if the poor O.
the state falling into want, were support
ed by the State?
What we suggest is that something bt
done towards equalizing the burdens Of
taxation for the relief of the farming
communities, as was done in 1868 whel
the war burdens were equalized and dis
tributed.
| The great and benefcent measure, the
Equalization of Town Bounties, was en-
acted for the relief of the overburdenet
towns, because the farmers demanded ii

page Ex-Governor Plaisted's editorial on
the State care of roads and the poor.
We are not prepared to endorse off-hand
any such extensive changes as are pro-
posed, especially when one of the results
would be the imposition of still greater
proportion of taxation upon the cities.
But the improvement of the roads OF
Maine would be great boon to her
people; and it is quite evident that any
great improvement will have to come
from change of system. Yet achange
of system is a grave matter, to be at
tempted only after thorough discussion
and careful investigation. The best way
to approach the matter would be to have
State Commission composed of the
right men, examine the question. A
commission composed of progressive
farmer well acquainted with the demands
upon our country roads, an educated
and experienced engineer, and good
business man or lawyer might together
get up a report of great value, which
would afford basis for future action.
But the subject is large one and should
be approached carefully.

The effort which the Argus made yes
terday to throw false coloring over the
circumstances of the arrest of Smith, the
runlseller, is hardly creditable to that
paper. Smith is an habitual offender,
whose court and Jail record is well
known. He has before this served a SEN
tence in jail for resisting an officer; and
he was in the act of resisting the officers
in the affair of Tuesday. The officers
were moreover attacked by a crowd of
roughs, who aided Smiths efforts by
striking the officers repeatedly. The
officers did strike Smith, as is the GUS
tom of officers when it is necessary in
dealing with offenders who resist: but
there is no trustworthy evidence that
they used more force than was needed.
The Argus report narrated dismal story
of the shedding of a great amount Of
blood, etc; but Smiths injuries are moi
dangerous and if he had been dubbed as
hard in being arrested for any Other
offence the Argus would not have said {
word about it.

ABOUT once year some young man
from South Carolina arrives in Boston
and tells the newspapers there of plan
whereby the Republican party may be
rejuvenated in that Bourbon state. This
year Mr.. James Wigg appears. Mr..
Wigg represents himself as delegate
at-large from South Carolina to the
Minneapolis convention but his name
does not appear in the regular list He
is colored man, and talks like level
headed one. He thinks that the Repub-
lIcan party in his State can never be
success until it is something different
from mob of uneducated black men
led by a few federal Office holds
ers. 1t seems that there are
others who think as he does, for in April
State convention was held for the pur-
pose of rejuvenating the party in the
State. This convention was character
lied, Mr.. Wigg says, by the largest rep
resentation Of white men ever seen at a
Republican convention in the state, but
few of whom had for years taken any
action in politics. Many were old Union
men who refused to join the confederacy
and have since abstained from politics.
Others were from both sides of the re-
cent Democratic division. The conyen-
ton was harmonious, without a symp-
tom of race issue. Mr.. r. W. Hem
minger, son of the late confederate secre-
tary of the treasury, was it's chairman,
and he was escorted to the chair by a
black man, Rev. W. D. Chappelie, pre-
siding elder and teacher in Allen Uni
versity. The two races were in entire
harmony, and this feature of the conven-
ton was applauded by the Democratic
press of the state. Its platform advo-
Gated free vote, a fair count and the
Australian system of voting. The con-
vention was also bitterly hostile to the
federal office-holders, who are presuma-
bly, led by the able and redoubtable
Robert Smalis; and it is evident that Mr..
Wigg goes to Minneapolis as portion of
contesting delegation. Republicans at
the North will not indulge in much hope
OF strong party in South Carolina until
it is able to show some results other
than superabundant delegates to national
conventions. Yet the plan of getting in
more white men is the one plan that
promises something.
