population would hear of no excuse or

We are compelled to admit that the
German Emperor has shown an amount
of good sense in the case that we did not
expect from him. Naturally his close
blood relationship with the English royal
family, and his intimate personal asso-
citation with them, inclined his personal

England would mean the utter destruc-

would wipe it off the seas, and nothing
OF it would 1be left but stranded hulki
with dismounted guns. All her colonies
also would be seized by England, and
all that Bismarck and the present En-.
peror have done to develop Germany in
colonial way would fail to pieces in few

War with England, therefore. in the
present state Of affairs, is the last thing
on earth that German interests really
want. and whatever the aggravation. we
shall see no serious quarrel between Eng

course, be as careful as possible to avoid
giving offence. and the natural good

make them blind and deaf to whatever is
not intended as offence, whatever its APP

CURRENT TOpICs.

We learn from one of the South Caro-
lima papers that bill to require mar
riage licenses in that State has passed
the House of Delegates. 1t is a re-
1narkable thing that the people of South
Carolina, who arc quite proper, not to
say prim in their social relations, should
have lived all these years without law
requiring candidates for matrimony to
take out license 4 member Of the
Legislature, in discussing the bill, said
that there was no State in the Union
where it was easier to get into matrl-
nony and harder to get out than in the
state of South Carolina.
From the same source as above we
learn that the South Carolina Legisla-
ture has repealed the income tax law
on the ground that there is no means
of enforcing the law, and that it has
proven to be farce. Last year half
the counties made no returns on TINS
tax. Yet there seems to be a demand
from the people of South Carolina for
federal tax on incomes.
The Charlotte On. c. Observer prints
the Message to Garcia which was
reproduced in our columns some time
ago, and in commenting thereon. says:
1.-THE story is all incentive to the faith
full performance of duty. 1t shows
and truthfully-that the emploEe, whether
in high or low>position, is unworthy
if he simply contents himself with doing
what he considers his work, regardless
Of the welfare of his employer, or is
without interest in performing his labor.
Tho writer is eminently correct when
he says that while we hear so much
sympathy expressed for the 'doWn-treo-
den iaborer,' nothing is said about
the employer who grows old before his
time in a vain attempt to get trowsy
re er-do-wells to do intelligent work. and
his long, patient striving with help"
that does nothing but loaf when his back
is turned.''

The washington Chronicle says that the
complaint of a labor famine comes from
many sections of Georgia, and it Is said
that much of the cotton land will have
to be turned into pastures. and it adds:
The necessity of this change in farming
operations need not be looked upon as an
evil. Many Wilkes county farmers of
their own choice. and not from lack Of
laborers. have gone into catrle-raising
with marked success. OF course, they
have to reyolutonize their methods in
changing from cotton to cattle-raising.
but when once done they readily SEQ the
beneficial effect. Good breeds of cattle
soon demonstrate their superiority over
the common kind. and there are natural
pastures on which they thrive through
out almost the entire year. requiring very
little feeding. The sales amount to al
most 50 much clear profit.
