1t must strike a good many people
that the "boy preacher" business is
coming to be overdone. 1t should be
frowned upon and suppressed by all

country form over 70 per cent OF the
entire population.
This state OF things seems bad, and
IL to be accounted for by the mortgag-
ing homes and farms in the west, spec
ulations In and monopoly of the lands,
the abandoning Of country for city life
in New England and elsewhere and 30
on.
In Canada on the other hand, the
percentage Of tenants is placed by Mr..
Collins at 12, and in Australia at only
10 per cent OF the population. Turn
ing to the countries OF continental Eu-
rope, which Americans are apt to be
lieve show land ownership conditions
similar to those that hold in England
We find that they are better off in this
respect, not only than England, but
than the United States. Against our
20 per cent. of.tenants we may profta-
bly, compare the percentage in France,
where only 2s out of every 100 are ten
ants.
In Belgium the percentage is 33, in
Holland 30, in Portugal 2S, in Germany
"a, in Norway 81, and in Sweden only
II. On the other hand, in Italy, with
a tenant percentage of 55, and Den
mark, with 60, the land conditions in
this country are nearly approached.
Also. turning to South Africa, which,
unlike the countries cited above, is
new country economically, much newer
than our own, we find that more than
half the people are tenants.
The question then arises whether
general individual possession of land
by the inhabitants of given country
necessarily makes those people sever
ally richer than they might be as ten
ants. Statistics prove that it does in
some countries, in others not, appar-
emily. The whole subject OF land own
ership is well worth study.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Mr. Mccall
CRep., Mass) reported fayorably from
the Committee on Elections his bill to re-
fer contested congressional elections TO
the United States courts for the districts
in which the contests occurred.
Mr.. Harrison Dem, Ala) reported
from the Committee on the judiciary the
recommendations of the committee upon
the Central Labor Union, of Cleveland. re-
Iating TO certain fees collected by Judge
Kicks, OF the United States Court for the
Northern district of Ohio.
The report concludes with the statement
that the committee had adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That while the committee is
not satisfied that Judge Augustus j.
Kicks has been guilty OF any wrong com
mitted while judge that will justify 1t in
reporting a resolution OF Impeachment
yet the committee cannot too strongly
censure the practice under which Judge
Ricksymade up mis- accounts, which resolu-
tion majority of this committee have
instructed me to report as It's action in
the premises, with the recommendation
that the same be adopted by the House
OF Representatives.
Mr.. Bailey gave notice that the minori-
ty would file their views to-day or to-
morrow, for which leave was granted by
the House.
sUNDRY CIVIL BILL
The sundry civil bill was then taken
up, and was finlly disposed Of The
total amount carried by the bill as II
passed was s39U37 .72l; net increase OF
S4y1 ,0co over the amount as reported The
bulk OF the increase was due 10 the re-
quiremnts of the new printing bill. Two
important changes In legislation were
made by the bill. One was to restore
10 the Secretary OF the Treasury the dis
erection that formerly was vested In him
to issue notes OF such denominations as
he may deem best instead OF being re-
stricted 10 the reissue of such denomina-
tions as may be cancelled and retired.
The other change was the abolition OF
gold certificates. Two amendments. Of
fered by Mr.. Combs, of New York, were
gold certificates shall be printed, and
that all such certificates hereafter re-
ceiyed by the Treasury shall be can
celled. The other provides that after
July l, 1895. gold certificates shall not
be received for custom dues, not Counted
as part Of the lawful reserve OF any
The motion by Mr.. Settle Rep.. n C,
TO strike out the paragraph appropriat-
ing $1,000 for detecting and bringing 10

iOBACCO ~ KING.
Satisfactory Results From the Product In
south Carolina.

CHARLESTON. s. c., Jan. 2j.-The
News and Courier win publish tomorrow
a special tobacco edition, showing the
marvellous development of the tobacco
growing industry In the Pee Dee section
or South Carolina in the last few years.
The fullest details are given as to the
methods Of cultivation, the varieties of
seed best adapted to the soil, the cost OF
production and the profits of the crop,
and the experience OF a large number OF
tobacco planters is related TO show that
tobacco is king. Tobacco-groWing is a
fiourishing industry throughout the Pee
Dee section of the State, but IL has had
its most successful and satisfactory de-
velopments In Darlington county, to
which the News and Courier review Is
largely confined. Ten years ago not one
pound of tobacco was grown I'm South
Carolina for market. Last year one mil
lion pounds were raised and marketed in
Darlington county alone. The acreage de-
voted TO the cultivation of the plant was
not five per cent. Of the acreage devoted
TO cotton, yet the value OF the tobacco
product was 10 per cent of all the cotton
raised in the county. The money value
of the crop OF the country was $4,000.
The tobacco acreage will be increased this
year from five 10 six hundred per cent,
and total crop of at least five million
pounds is counted on. The average price
paid for Darlington tobacco last year
was II cents a pound. Some specially fine
leaf brought 20 cents pound.
Captain Paul Whipple. a New England
man and brother OF the proprietor OF
Young's Hotel i'm Boston, cleared more
than $50 an acre, and had thirty acres
planted in tobacco. Other farmers did as
well-some OF them better-all OF them
agreeing that there is mere money In to-
bacco than In cotton.
The Darlington soil is specially adapted
to tobacco-growing. Some Of the best re-
suits have been obtained from very poor
land. Two tobacco warehouses have been
established in the Dountry, providing
a home market for the farmer. Twelve
buyers were In the market last year.
There viii be twice as many next season.
The average cost per acre for cultiyating.
curing and marketing tobacco is $50 an
acre. The average yield per acre Is l.200
pounds. \ smoking tobacco factory has
been established at Darlington. The re-
suit OF the tObacco-growing experiment
has been most profitable. 1t is said by the
farmers TO be "A poor mans crop, and
to beat cotton out OF sight

WITHDRAWALS OF GOLD.
ANOTHER HEA w DRAIN REDVCES
THE RESERVE TO s56, ,5s2,s5s.
The Treasury Condition . Subject OF Cabi.
net Discussion--rbe President May
Make Some Suggestions.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.--The Treasury
Department lost by gold Withdrawals to-
day as follows:
At New York, s67oo,Ooo: at Boston, $780,
900; total for the day, $4,000.
OF the $4,000 withdrawn at New
York $4,000 was In gold coin and ST.
100000 was in gold bars.
The gold Withdrawals to-day reduce the
Treasury gold reserve to S56.5s2 SIS.
There was natural anxiety all day in
the Treasury Department over the gold
situation. Assistant Secretary Curtis was
in frequent communication by the long
distance telephone with Assistant United
Treasurer Jordan at New York. During
the Cabinet meeting a message from New
York, stating that up 10 l2 NJ. si,.V0,00o
In gold had already been withdrawn with
more Withdrawals in sight, was delivered
TO Secretary Carlisle at the White House.
Ii was laid before the Cabinet, and form
ed part of the general discussion OF the
financial situation which was In pro-
gress. After the Cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Carlisle was for some time cioseted
with Assistant Secretary curtis. Mr.. Cur
It's stated afterwards that there was no
public announcement to be made. The
gold drain, he said. had been heavy, but
there was nothing In the situation TO
cause uneasinees. The general Treasury
condition was good, and the receipts con-
tmued heavy.
There Is an intimatlon that the Pres-
dent may consider IL proper within IA
few days TO officially call the attention of
Congress to the continued drain on the
Treasury gold reserve, and to submit tout-
side of any financial measure dealing with
the currency question: certain suggested
methods of providing remedy to meet
the existing conditions.
During the day Assayer Mason of New
York, was authorized by telegraph to sell
gold bars for export at an additional
charge of one-eighth OF one per cent
over the weight value. This was done
under section 3 of the act of March 3,
1891. which empowers the assayer TO sell
gold bars with the approval OF the Sec
retary of the Treasury, but not other
wise"
The extra one-eghth OF one per cent.
covers assay expenses, and was fixed by
Secretary Carlisle.
The purchase Of gold bars by. exporters
at a premium IS explained, as evidence
that gold coin IL OF such light weight.
but still standard weight by law, that
