Senators Tillman and Irby Of South
Carolina have had a very serious falling
out, and there is some prospect that the
merry war that Is raging between them
may profit the decent people of the state.
Speaking of Tillmans s suffrage report,
Irby says:
81 look upon that report as a political
monstrosity-one of the most dangerous
schemes ever concocted in the brain OF
man, and when the convention recoyenes,
| shall fight it and vote against it, II L
have not another member upon the noor
at my back. Why, the moro | study the
report, the stronger my opposition ana
the greater the danger l see in It, Leu
this law pass giving educated and prop
erty owning negroes the right to Vote,
but denying the poor unlettered Whlte
man that high privilege, and you Will
see our ballot boxes saturated with blood.
In two years time you can't educate
every white youth in South Carolina
both to read and write, for the impoyer-
ished condition of thousands of poor
white farmers and laborers will not per-
nit them to spare the time of their sons
to go to school. And then what is the
result? Their ballot is taken from them
and they will have no more voice ia the
government Of this state than the mule
that they plow, or dumb cattle that tread
our highways They must stand off and
look on while the educated or property
owning negroes, living in our towns and
cities. are helping to rule and govern our
state, and are making laws for those poor
white men to live under. ~
The merits of the controversy between
them is of little consequence compared
with the fact of the existence of such
controversy. With Irby and Tillman
working together there is not much of
anything in the way of iniquity that
might not be accomplished But with
the falling out of these two rascally de-
magogues there is some hope that some
of the worst of the proposed features Of
the new constitution may be dropped,
or at least modified.

The friction which continually exists
between the Hindoo and Moslem factions
of British India is we'll described in Har-
per's Magazine for October by Edwin
Lord Weeks, who has embelished his
paper with fourteen illustrations of Indian
life. These include some interesting
pictures of fakirs, the Hindoo ascetios
who put to shame all other religious de-
votees by their continual and relentless
modification of the flesh. Alone
in China, by Julian Ralph, is
new departure in fiction. The heroine is
the daughter Of o wealthy Pittsgurg
manufacturer, who marries Chinaman
engaged in diplomatic mission at Wash
ington The story concerns itself chiefly
with the roubles of the American bride
in her Oriental home, and is based upon
MIR. Ralph's observations of the domestic
customs of China during his recent jour
new, The story is admirably illustrated
by G. D. Weldon. An important paper,
The Future in Relation to American
Naval Power, is contributed by Captain
A. II. Mahan, .. S. N, who advocates
the maintenance Of a strong navy, not
only for national defence, but for the pro-
motion of the interests of the United
States in the international complications
which are certain to arise in the near
future through the growing Importance of
China and Japan and the approaching ab-
sorption of all the unclaimed islands of
the sea by the great powers of the world.
Much of Robert Louis Stevenson's best
work appeared for the first time in Scrib-

therefore peculiarly appropriate that the

written by member of his household

October number, of the home which Stew

ence throughout Samoa. and the interest
ing household of Samoa servants and de-
pendents which he built up around him,

iudicious editing 1t is full of interest
ing reading matter, and very neatly illus

nrjsipg publisher. Mr.. P. f. Collier, it is
certainly marvelously cheap. For ten

noses to continue giving, more reading

any publisher can afford to give SO much

LEEDS { FARn|NGTON
-. u. co.
First Mortgage 6 per cert Bonds,
DUE JULYl, 1896.

We have bought $633,000 Maine
Central Consol. 4's, due 1912, and
offers the holders of Leeds and Far
mington 6's, the opportunity to ex-
change the same for the former on
the following favorable terms.
On OF before Nov. 18th, 1895, we
will deliver Maine Central Consol As
at par, and prepay the interest due
April 1st, 1896, at 4 per cent per an
mum for the unexpired time, receiv-
ing in exchange an equal number OF
Leeds and Pennington bonds, allow
ing par and 6 per cent accrued in
terest to date of exchange.
The above is equivalent to selling
the Leeds & Pennington bonds on a
3 rs per cent interest basis, and OBJ
tanning the long consolidated As at
par, by using the premium obtained
on the former in purchasing the rs.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that these 4 per cent bonds are
now practically first mortgage on
the road, as there will be only ST.
253,300 outstanding when the
Leeds & Pennington are converted
out of total of $9,000,000, to take
the place of prior lien bonds; in five
years this balance will have been re-
tired and the consolidated mortgage
become a first lien.
The saving in the interest charges
in the next few years is approx
mately $4,000; this is in addition to
amount saved in 1894 of $4,000,
making a total of nearly 100000 or
2 per cent on the stock; increasing
the present net earnings to over
100000 or 10 per cent on the capt.
tai; 6 per cent. is now paid, the bal
ance going to surplus und improve
ments.
We recommend the proposed ex-
change at this time, the holders
thereby obtaining a long, choice Sc
curity at moderate cost.
The As not exchanged, as above,
will be offered to the public at an
advanced price.

The Wise Woman. A Novel by Clara

with the democratic side of American

refinement will aid in breaking down

way of viewing the trades and profess
