CLEVELAND AT TIE GRAVE OF HAYES. -
The manly sentiment Of personal obligation
to show respect and esteem for their c3un-
try's illustrious dead, which TO nob.o minds
become q public duty, has been seldom more
foroibly or gracefully expressed than it was
by Grover Cleveland leaving his warm fire.
side and his pleasant wiuter retreat among
the shsltering pines Of Lakewood to make
the long, solitary journey, in the most for
bidding, inc ement weather, TO the open
grave Of ex-Rresident Hayes at Fremont.
This act of Mr.. Cleveland's is curiously
consis ent with his character; it is wholly
consistent with his refusal to 60 to the dcdi-
cation of the worlds fair at Chioag, because
his presidential competitor, Mr.. Harrison,
watching at the deathbed of his beloved
wife, could not also 60 and receive the greet
ing Of the people upon his way and there.
Mr.. Cleve!and's refusal to accept political
advantages in the midst Of n presidential
campaign which, by reason Of nffi ciion, his
-compctttur Cuuld not snurc wfttr- -hiuny-was
sharply criticized at the timo as tho crafty
act Of y politician seeking through his letter
of declination to obtain public favor and
applause. Selfish political expedieney
would have induced Mr.. Cleveland 10 go to
Chicago, and selfish regard for his own COM
fort and convenience would have induced
him not TO 60 to Fremont. That uaselfsh-
ness and that manly courage and simplicity
which are Mr.. Cleve!ands most striking
characteristics would not permit him to 60
to Chicago, and they compelled him to 6, to
Fremont. He knew that in both cases his
purpose would be criticised, misconsru.d
and blazoned forth as something it was not,
but he did in either instance what he be-
iieved TO be right, and that is what he can be
always depended upon to do under any pos
.ible circumstances. --Phiiadetphia Ledger.

The liquor men have hal a meeting in
Charleston, and appointed committees to
engage legal talent to contest the validity of
the Dispensary Act. They seem to be in
earnest and expect to raise about 100000
to conduct a law suit which they hope will
protect them and their property and calling.
The first gun was fred in the Supreme
Court last week. From the many law suits
that seem TO be pending in which the State
will be party, it appears to us that addi-
tional counsel will have TO be retained to as
the State to pay, but we must remember, it's
money to some Of the faithful.

BS~ We invite the special attention Of
our Farmers to the advertisement Of Mr.. w
E. Thomson. President of the Union Oil g.
Manufacturing Co. Cotton seed is fast be.
coming as important an article of commerce.
as cotton itself But we are not we'll salts
fed that the high price it commands will
prove greatly beneficial to the Southern
farmers. We fear it will invite au increase
in the cotton crop instead of n decrease,
and, as a natural consequence, reduce the
price of cotton to the lowest point. The
formers must take out their pencils and
figure closely on the question, whether a
large crop Of cotton at 7 cents and 20 or 25
cents per bushel for the seed will be as
profitable rs a smaller (say one-third less)
crop of cotton at 0 to 10 cents and seed at
10 cents. Or, whether small crop of cot
ton that will, of course, yield small crop
Of seed, would not command still higher
price for both cotton and seed, and be more
profitable to them?
We are strongly Of the opinion that, when
practically tested, the small cotton crop
policy, with plenty of home-raised meat and
bread, and food for the stock, will come out
away ahead in money and independence on
the farm.
