Government may legislate so as to promote the prosperity of the people provided the people co-operate with the Government in pursuing such methods as are calculated to promote their pros? perity. The best system of laws in the world would be utterly useless for this purpose if the people themselves pur? sued such a course as to render them nugatory A Government may so legislate as to promote the prosperity of certain classes without auy particular cooperation by those classes, but such legislation would be simply favoritism to that class, favor? itism which imposed tribute upon other classes for the beoe?t of the favored, as the protective tariff does. The protect? ed manufacturers of this country have become rich, but they bave become so at the expense of the unprotected who paid the tribute which enriched the manufacturers. Because this Government bas for thirty years pandered to, favored and legislated for the eorichment of certain classes, the idea has become somewhat prevalent that this is what the Govern? ment was made fir, and that'when any particular industry becomes unremune rative and those who follow it become embarrassed it is the duty of the Gov? ernment to come to their rescue and help them out This is the idea on which the sub-Treasury scheme is bas^d, an incorrect cn% which would prove a mere makeshift expedient, even if ir were unobjectionable from a constitu? tional standpoint. If the principle in that thing is right, and if it be the duty of the Government to establi.-h banks, or sub-treasuries, ??sue an indefinite amount of money (for the amount must be indefinite to prove a measure of relief) and lend it to farmers at a nominal rate.of interest, why shouldn't the Government also lend money on the same terms to men who run railroads, steamboats, street cars, mines, n-a no facturer?, fehops, stores? Aud if to these why not to their employes if they have s'orne-cort of collateral to put up? If the principle is correct io one case as applying to one class o? our citizens it 38 correct in the other and applies to ail classes who may become em harassed end find need for more money than they cao eommand by the ordinary processes of getting it But if the principle were all right, end there was no objection from a -'.gal standpoint it would prove a mere delu? sive temporary makeshift which would prove a disappointment in the end and leave those who expected to be ben? efit ted by it iu as bad or worse condi lion than they were at first. One hundred millions, two hundred millions, three hundred millions? four hundred millions, five hundred millions wouldn't give the relief which the farmers of ?his country would like to have and which so many of them expect to find through this sub-treasury sehotue, :?hicb will never become a fact. All the sub-?reasury schemes that ever- eu ?tered the brain) of the n?ost - superficial visio?arj-caji oeler -bring solid prosper? ity to?^'fartB^ tfjjais: cou ? try while they^ptt'rsue ?^caS?s?^which brings disaster to themaelr?& If they plow, plant and reap without calculation as to the "market an,d demand for what they plant and reap they must take their chances on^what they may get for it. If they raise 500,000,000 bushels of wheat when there is a remunerative market-for^unly 300,000,000 they can not expect mere for the 500,000,000 bushels tbaD they would have gotten faythe S',50,000,000. if as much. If ?tlfey; raise 8.000,000 bales of cotton wheo fhVe is demand for only 6,000, 000 they -cannot expect to get more for the 8,000,000 bales than they would get for the 6.000,000, if as much. If the manufacturer makes five yards of calico when there is a demand for only three he expects to sell it at a price that won': pay or keep it oo his bands, hence we see that when the market is in danger of being overstocked the manu? facturers get together, and agree to reduce the product to the dimensions of the market. When there is overproduc? tion of anything there" must be a corres? ponding reduction of prices. Wh.le this system prevails how could the farm? er ever hope to pay bis d bts if he got money through a sub-treasury, and pay the money back ? He never could make the slightest calculation on it. He would simply be seeking a temporary relief for present uses without looking to the future. Overproduction., it is true, is not thc only cause of the farmer's embarrass? ment, for much of it will be found ia the discriminating legislation by the Congress of the Uuited States which levied tribute upon him for the bene? fit of others, which tribute came out of the small returns from his crops, fre? quently insufficient to pay for the labor he gave them and the cost of pro? duction. If the farmers took a bus? iness view of it, ignored the visionary leaders who are pointing an impossible way to instantaneous and universal prosperity, and they moved with a deter? mination for the abolition of this discriminating, plundering legislation, aud then in a business way regulated ?ne acreage of their planting by the de? mands of the market, they could count )U compensation for their labor, some profit on their products, and soon prosperity would come to them; a per? manent prosperity, more substantial :ban could be.got out cf a gross of sub trearury schemes, and a relief which [he farmer would achieve by bis own sense and effort, without becoming a mendicant depend upon the bounty >f his creature, the Government.- WU viington Star Tillman Again Talks to Noble. COLUMBIA, July 4 -Gov. Tillman tonight answered the recent communica? tion from Secretary Noble in relation to South Carolina accepting its proportion )f the appropriation made by congress for agricultural and mechanical colleges Moble insisted that the division of the fund for ?.kite and colored should be according to population. The governor inf wera by saying that any division as between white aud colord colleges which is considered "equitable and just" by the legislature of a State must be accept? ed by ,Nobie, whatever may be bis opin? ion, and that it is Noble's duty to certi? fy to the secretary of the treasury whether such State has complied with the terms of the ad, uot to impose con? ditions. "if you continue," siys the govr nor," to? cl?im that you have judicial power to make a rule and enforce it, which the act does not show you pos? sess. South Carolina's shu'e must re? main in the treasury urrfil congress de? cides the matter, for I, as gov?ruor, have no power to accept it ut.der any conditions except those contained in the act of our general assembly " The executiou of the four condemned murderers in Sing Sing prison, N Y., Tuesday, proved a success, the four, two white, one black and one Japanese, being neatly and expeditiously dis patched, without a bitch or a bungle of any kind. This is a triumph for. the advocates of that method of executiou, and settles the question which has beeu so much discussed as to its practicabili? ty and effectiveness. Its opponents can no longer contend that it is not a dead sure thing, although they may still insist, that it is "cruel," because in spite ol the precautions taken to prevent it the curent of electricity did burn the executed men where the electrodes came in contact with their bodies.. While this system has proved a success in this instance, it may prove a failure on the next trial, for there are so many things to look after, the neglect of which would cause trouble, and even if it to be so well perfected as to be reliably count? ed upon there and in other cities where expert electricans are always within reach, the system eannot be generally adopted for the reason that it rrquires expert electricians to manipulate it, BO the probabilities are that the most of the murderers who are to be hanged will go out in the old fashioned way by, the rope - -_!.!)--?? BJ? - A contributor to the Lancaster Ledger says: ' Do you believe the ?uh-treasury pian would be of much ? benefit to the farmers is a question j that was asked me a few minutes sgo. I have read everything relating to the sub-treasury plan that ? culd lay my hands on and my h:>ne-t opinion is that it would not be of much benefit to the farmers or anyone else except the ODCS who fiil the offices it. wou'd create, and you may be sure that they would uot be farmers.

The Meth? odist ministers of the Methodist church held a meeting on the (J ti instant and appointed a committee to see Mr Leitch ! and tell him he mu-t cease his olj.-c- j tiens towards the ministers of the city or they would withdraw their sanction from his meetings, whereupon Mr Leitch agreed to desist from further at tacks.

The banks fe the south have in creased very much within a few years, and it continues The north had al most the whole circulation at one time. Even as late as 1875 the entire south had but 174 banks, while little New England had 538, and the Middh States 626. But there is a marked change. In 1890 the figures were 528 banks in the south, 582 in New Eog land, and 837 in the Middle States. The Western States have 1,599. It will be seen that great as is the increase in the number of southern banks that there is roora for many more. In fact there is stilt some inequality, and to the disadvantage of the south. The capital, it is stated in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is for New England and the Middle States ?355.000.000, a falling off of $8.000,000 since 1878, and for the south $300,000,000, or more than double. Ex-Senator Hanniba! Hamlin of Maine, is dead, aged 82 He was a man of good education and excellent abilities. He was a Democrat until 1856, when he turned Republican. He was Vice President on the Lincoln ticket. He was a man of integrity and decided ability. At one time he was very hostile to the South. How a Dem? ocrat could posibly become a Republi? can and be honest in the change has always been a puzzle to us. - m i A New Law Against Drunk? enness. Massachusetts h3s entered into an ex? periment that will be watched with in? terest by the people of other States. Uoder a law passed by the last legisla? ture the practice of punishing drunk? enness by fines is abolished. Hereafter the man arrested on the streets for drunkenness will either be released as soon as he is sober or he will be sent to prison for a considerable term! It was contended by those who favored the law that the practice which has hereto? fore prevailed of imposing a fine for this offence, with the alternative of im? prisonment in case the fine was not paid, not only failed to restrain, but in effect discriminated in favor of the rich and against the poor. The new law is expected to be fairer in its operations, and to bave a positive effect in dimin? ishing the amount of drunkenness. The striking feature of the mew law is its discrimination between the occasional offender and the man who is constantly getting drunk. The occasional drunk? ard, it is provided, may, when arrested, '-make a written statement," giving his ?ame and residence, and declaring that he has not been before arrested twice within a year, or that, if ?TV?CI? arrested, he has been acquitted in ooe case. It is then within the discretion of the po? lice station master to release the person arrested for getting drunk, provided the statement is by him indorsed as proba? bly true. A "probation" oflicer, how? ever, mest thereafter investigate the statement, and, if he finds it untrue, be must rearrest the offender for trial. The lenity of immediate release is for the benefit of the citizen who rarely gets drunk or specially hilarious. Guaranteed Cure fur La Grippe.
