branches of agriculture. There is the poultry industry, as an example. Eng- land purchased $22,000,000 worth of eggs last year from France, Deamark and Continental countries. We can get some of these millions if

our farmers will keep the fowls which lay the large eggs, and if eggs are sent over in good condition for the English market. What is wanted is instruction in the business of keeping the right kind of poultry, of feeding it to the best advan- tage, and of marketing the eggs. With egg exportations will, of course, go poultry exportations. For poultry there is also a large market in England. Mr. Gilbert, of the Poultry Department, is already doing excellent work. But he can do more, and with great benefit. if the oppor- tunity and the facilities for doing it are afforded him. wre

Creamery Meztixc.—A number of dairying farmers met again yesterday in the A. O. H. hall to eoneult as to the erection of a Central Creamery in Char- Jottetown. After the matter had been thoroughly discuszed it was agreed to organize ucder the Joint Stock Cam-

pany’s Act whereby all eubscribers would have a vote for every share taken. To have organized under the Dairying Act the numter of votes

capable of being controlled by any one sharehelder would have been limited to five. The general opinion of the meeting was that it would ,be more advisable to erect a new building than to negotiate for any cther procureb'e. Aljl present were appointed a committee to canvass for shares. The prospects are that a cream- ery, at least, is almost certain to be erected this fall —Guardian. oe Tue Teame Was Hoxest.—A farmer's wife in Olio recently gave a tramp an old

GLEANINGS,

South Carolina by the last census had a population of 1.151.149 of whom {62,008 were white and 688,934 black—as nearly as possil le. 40 whites to every 60 blacks. Of males of the voting age there were 102,- 657 whites against 132,949 blacks, im other words of the men who had reached the age of twenty-one there were in every hundred 43 whites and 57 blacks.

The constitution of South Carolina adopted under reconstruction rule in 1868, vrovides that every male citizen of the | United Statez, twenty-one years old, | without distinction of race, color, or for-

ner condition,” except those usually dis— feanchised everywhere as paupers, *riminals, natics, “shall be entitled to vote for all officers elec ted by the people, an 1 upon all _ ouestons submitted tothe electors at any election.” It is obvious that, under this Constitution, if a race line should be drawn in polities, the party supported by the blacks would, with “a free vote and a fair count,” beat the white party by about 30,000 majority The race line was drawn so strictly that scarcely any blacks voted the Democratic ticket, and but few whites (except carpet- baggers from the North) the Republican. Asa result, the Republicans carried the State by large majorities for several years —33,534 for Governor in 1870, and 49, 587 for President in 1872, when the Dem ovrats were so demoralized by Greeley’s candidacy that half of those who had voted for Seymour four years before would not go to the polls Meanwhile the car- pet baggers from the North, the native white “scalawags” who jvined hands with them, and the majority of ignorant blacks were making the administration of pubiic affairs a travesty upor democratic govern- by such acarnival of corruption and c never before

men: stealing as was seen in an Americar comm mwealth.

The situation at last became intolerable While the white adventurers insisted that there were some “yéars of good stealing” still left, the white minority felt’ in LS76 that they could not stand this sort of rule any longer. They resolved to get control of the State at al! hazards. With the aid of intimidation they managed to se- cure the narrow majurity of 1,134 for Wade Hampton running as the Demo- cratic nomimee for Governor, and although the Rupublicans tried to hold on to power by throwing out two counties on this ground, and thus giving Chamberlain the lead asa candidate for re-election, the Hayes Administration withdrew the troops that were essential to the assertion of Re- publican claims, and the former masters ceased to be ruled by their furmer slaves.

Since then the Republicans have “stood ? South Carolina elections.

downright

no show” in The white Democrats frightened the uegroes from trying to vote until most of

them ceased to make any further effort, except in one Congressional district in which the blackest counties were lumped; and they put such obstacles in the way of the more persistent, through registration laws with which it was hard to comply, that few maintained what seemed a use- less struggle—especially with the probabi- lity that they would be counted out if they really got their ballots in. For President in 1892 Harrison received only 13,584 votes, against 72,290 for Grant twenty vears be- fore: the Democratic vote, through the lack of any contest, being but 51,693 a total of only 65,082 for 235,606 males of the voting age, whereas Maryland, with a smaller population, cast 213,275 votes,

For years there has been among the better class of the whites a growing feeling of disgust at the methods of intimidation and fraud by which the black majority has been kept under, and anew constitution has been demanded under which the white minority might lawfully retain control. The Tillman element took up this cry, when they were fully established in power, hoping also to secure factional advantage by changes in the fundamental law, Their domination in the State disinclined many of the more intelligent whites to favor a convention which the more ignorant and reckless of their race would control, and the “Conservatives” aver that the propo- sition to hol? one was really voted down at the polls last fall. However, the Till- manites returned it as carried, delegates were chosen last month, and the body opened its session at Columbia on Septem- ver 10.

The outlook for a wise solution of the proble-n is not encouraging. The Tillman- ites constitute a large majority of the delegates, and the Tillmanite Governor was chosen President. Wiether Tillman- ites or Conservatives, the white delegates (there are only a very few blacks) are united in a resolution to secure “white supremacy” by any device that will not be declared in conflict with the United States Constitution. The purpose is openly pro- claimed by the pres*. The object says the Greenville News, is t» * provide a system of elections which will give a white major- ity of from 20,000 to 46,000 without dis- franchising anybody [anybody evidently here meaning any whites) and without re- quiring officers of elections to be experts in perjury, frand, and cheating ” The con- vention, says the Charleston News and Courier, “has been called to accomplish in a constitutional way the overthrow of negro suffrage”; and it adds ;

* Nobody tries to conceal it, nobody seeks to excuse it. It is not meant to disfran- chise every negro in this State—there are some of them who are qualified by educa- tion and property to vote—but it is in- tended that every colored voter who cau be disfranchised without violating the higher law of the United States’ constitu- tion shall be deprived of the right to vote. On the other hand, it is meant to disfran- chise no white man, except for crime, if any way can be found to do it without vio- lating the United States’ Constitution.”

The problem which has long confronted South Carolina is a most difficult one—to secure good government in a state where three-fourths of the black voters and one- sixth of the whites are illiterates. But the spirit in which this convention approaches it gives little hope of a correct result.

The fullowing is a Liberal’s view of the general election in England, lately written frou: London :

“Ever since the recent general election ended, the Liberal party has been trying hard to explain the causes of the unexpect- ed defest it suffered. It was not, however, - nae “aha of defeat itself that took

J y bY Surprise as the magnitude of the catastrophe. The Liberal party hed not counted on Improving its position. Some thought that it might hold its own Others Jooked for an equilibrium of par- ties. Those who had studied the constit- uencies reckoned on seeing @ majority of from thirty to fifty against them. Nobody had the least idea that the majority would exceed sixty; aud anyone who had predict- ed that it would reach 152 wcu'd have been laughed to scorn. Nor were the party who proved victorious much better prepared for their victory. A few of them put their probable majority as high as seventy or eighty; none, it is believed, ventured to anticipate more than one hundred. Since the election which followed the reform bill of 1832 there has been no such “tidal wave” in English polities.

Now that the smoke of battle has clear- ed off the field, it is becoming pretty easy

to criticise the tactics and assign the causes of the deteat. As usually happens in England, perhaps in al) popularly goy- erned countries, it was not so much ihe promises of the victorious party that in- fluenced the electors as di-content with the party which was vanquished Prom- indeed, were profusly mad; tor | although the Torv leaders had the pre dence to issue no “authorized programme” or “platform,” the Tory candidates were less cautious, and indulged in all sorts of declarations as to the measures which their party would carry, and the blessed results in the way of employment for everybody and abounding presperity which would follow. These aliurements, how-

izes,

ever, do not appear to have toll very greatly on English people, who are now

getting accustomed to the devices of elec- tiovecring,- *° ° : : . . Justas the tories experieucel a dis- appointment in this direction, so also were the liberals disappointed by the attitude of the masses upon the subject of the House of Lords. They had count- ed on rousing the country against the upper chamber by dwelling on its here- diary and therefore irresponsible charac ter, and by enumerating tue many useful measures which it had in time past de feated or delayed. ‘The country Lowever did not respon |. lho-e who a! realy attached to democratic principle went heartly into the fight, and probably care more about this issue than about any other submitted to them. But the bulk of thove comparatively indiff rent or moderate men who, by throwing them selves into one or other s« ale, determine ithe result of an election, saw bo great reason for touching the lords. A hereditary chamber was no doubt an anomaly, bu: i was not (<0 they thought) doing them any particular harm, fer it had not recently rej-eted any measure in which they as Eng- listinen, felt direetly and warmly interest- ed. However the Liberal lealers had not specifically declared what was to be done with the second chamber. Some were be'ieved to desire merely to restrict its powers ; others, to wish to turn it into an elective assembly; others to abolish it a’ together, and leave the Honse of Com- mons to stand alone. This third course, which was of course, represented by Tory +peakers as being that which the Liberals woull, in fact, alopt, alarmed the more cautious persons who did not think the popular house so perfect a body as to re- quiie no con-tutional check. Thus it would seem that if the Liberals did not ac- tually enffer from the-r onslangh upon the Jords, neither did they gain mach by it. Three other factors remain to be con sidered who-e influence it is more difi-:ult to estimate, because they were more vague than the four alroady mentioned, each of which was connected with a practice! bill of propo-a!. The first of these three was the loss to the liberal party of Mr. G@lad- stone's leadership. Although there was in its ranks a very general regard for and con- tidence im his successor, the departure of the chief who had inspired its ¢fforts for thirty years, and been during all chat time the most brilliant figure in Baglish public lif-, with an experience and eloquence and a courage no ove else could riva’, natur- ally depressed their pirite, It takes some time befor au army cau learn to cheer the name of 8 bew general aa it eeered on who has often led them to victory This was an unavoidable misfortune ; for even had Mr. Gladstone renisined in the

advanced age would have made it impos~ sible fur him to do much fighting, and every one would have kuown that he could pot again take office.

In the next place there was a general discontent with the depression from which trale had been suffering for the last five years and agriculture for the Jast fif een. This di costent,as usually happens, told against the government which had been recently in power, and disposed the voters to “give the other fellows achance.” [n vain did the Liberals point out that trade bad been bad under the Tories from 1890 till 1892, that it had been equally bad or worse in most other countries, that it had begun to revive last March, while their nuinistry was still in power, and that min- istries cannot make good trade any more than they can make good harvests, The sense of disquiet, the idea that a change of sdmini-trators might do gool and at any rate could do no harm, was irristesistable; and many elections were no duubt decided by this no- tion, against which it was all the harder to fight just because it was irrational. When there are po arguments lo support a case, the case, though it may be absurd, be- comes irrefutable.

Upon minor causes which acted in par- ticular parts of the country, it is hardly worth while to dwell. Several. seats in Lancashire were lost to the Liberals be- cause the critical condition of the Indian revenue had obliged them to allow the Indian Goveroment to impose an import duty on cotion goods. Several more were affected, perhaps lest, on the question of bimetallism, which has taken strong hold of Lancashire and tome of the other manu- facturing districts, although its advocates are far from cemmanding @ majority in the new House of Commons. A more im- portant factor, and the last of the three above referred to, was the impression, pretty widely felt, and influential with timid minds, that the Liberals were tinged by revolutionary or socialistic views. This impress on was the more odd because the so-called Independent Labor party, which is avowedly socialistic, was, where- ever it had an organization, attacking Liberal candidates, and denouncing them as being more “capitalistic” than the Tories ; and actually running candidates of its own in order to keep the Liberals out, However, the. fact that socialism was in the air and had frightened the property- holding classes, among whom a good many workingmen may now happily be included, told against the party which is traditionally the party of change, and made not a few of the ‘more timid sort think property safer under the party which is traditionally that of conservatism, and to which the men of wealth, with very few exceptions, now belong. :

Lest it should be supposed that the enor- mous majurity which the Tories have ob- tained in the House of Commons denotes a pulverization of the Liberal party, let it be observed that the majority of popular votes obtained by the Tories in the con- stituencies is only between one and two hundred thousand (it is hard to make an exact calculation, because many seats, es- pecially Tory seats, were uncontested)— that isto say, a small percentage of an electorate which exceeds six millions. This is a curious result of the British elec- toral system, and shows that the swing of the pendulum, which seems so tremendous ifone regards Parliament, is compara- | tively small among the voters. It shows, -_ eee the pendulum takes a iad aae oe change among the voters ee ae deteancs great in order to restore present, however md Te . os themselves sate. Their caaiay ts ae

A WORD TO DRUMMERS.

The commercial traveller natura ly dreads the eald weather, if he has to do much driving to and from country stations where the raw, damp winds seem to pene- trate his whole body, Fibre Chamois isa simple and economical remedy for all this discomfort which not*only travellers but motormen, conductors and other outdoor workere may use with profit. It is a per feet protection from wind avd cold as the fiercest blast can’t possibly go through it, and yet it will adi no weight to a coat or vest. It gives the necessary body and stiffuess, thus taking the place of convas or haireloth, and at the same time furnish es this splendid warmth.
