JS£*" On the Elgin Board of Trade Mon- ; day, the butter market was active at 25c it which figure 23,000 lbs Were sold. The board voted to take the authority to declare the price from the directors. ; |®" The fisheries question is still a long iray from being settled, but the Cana­ dian has decided to issue fishing licences to all American fishermen who may de- lire to take them out, as was done last year. This will postpone any decisive Action by our government until the pres­ ent administration can adjust itself Jaud ifive this and many other questions the careful consideration which they deserve. *5 The question of adopting a uni- |^|j>lorm class of text books to be used, in ^ the public schools throughout the state is tj* • again bang discussed in the legislature. jCj- * ^Those who are compelled to furnish new tor large family of children every time they move from one school district Jso another will appreciate the enactment "J I pi a law on the subject that will save if • • Vthem the expense. !$>« * I®* The labor movement is spreading ^ In Germany, and strikes are occurring. ^ Sooner or later laboring men must recog- j, liize the fact that a strike is as disastrous to those carrying it on as those against whom it is directed, and many times more so. To the laborer it means a loss of bread, of absolute necessities of life; to the capitalist the loss of a further accu- jmulation of wealth. The laborer seems i to get the worst of it on all sides. 1ST The State of New York cannot be proud of its Governor, There was a time when the Chief Magistrate was se­ lected from men who had spent their lives in the study of public questions, and who, by long service, had demon­ strated that they deserved the confidence of their fellow citizens. The ablest men of the State have filled the office, and it is a. sign both of the degeneracy of politics and of politicians that such a man as Hill can occupy the place once filled by Silas Wright, William L. Marcy, Hamil­ ton Fish, William H. Seward and John A. Dix. The community is no less virtu-1 ous than is was, popular opinion is as; right a« it was, there are still citizens who occupy the foremost ranks, but the machinery of politics has been seized by corrupt and ignorant' sharpers who are; able to, deprive good citizens of their rights by the industrious devotion of their wholp time to getting and keeping the offices. David B. Hill, the favorite of some people for the Democratic nomina­ tion of 1892, is the spawn of depraved politics, and is Governor of New York because the best people of the State have very little to say couwrning tlie govarii- ment, "v.-v. News has been received of aTWr^t- ble calamity at Samoa. On the 10th ult., -a hurricane swept over the islands, wrecking three American and two Ger­ man men-of-war. Of the American crews, 4 officers and 46 men were drowned, and, of the German crews 9 officers and 87 men lost their lives. One English man- of-war supceeded in putting out to sea and suffered but slight damage. Many merchant-men and other vessels were destroyed- This leaves our navy in a bad condition, which should attract im­ mediate attention and impel action to-1 ward the building of new war vessels. p RICHMOND.

A .great proportion of ||>rj; " the lunatics are drawn from the foreign P>I; population, who cling close to the great jfif city by the sea. The swelling of the list IjS; < can be partly accounted for by the en- ' deavor of Europe to unload upon us her pf' refuse, as well as her surplus, population. It is a fact, too, that foreigners are more excitable and more apt to become insane than our hard headed native population. Immigrants suffer more than has ever been told from homesickness,- from dis­ appointment and discontent, on their arrival here, so that often their minds become unbalanced .

In a published interview General Pryor, the distinguished Southerner, who has earned for himself a prominent position at the New York bar, iB reported as say­ ing that the South is beginning to see that her interests are bound up with the success of the protective policy. He be­ lieves that it is in the power of the Presi­ dent to break up the Solid South if he will conduct his Administration on the lines laid down in his inaugural. Gen­ eral Pryor points out, to quote his own words, "that the actual indications of public sentiment in the South are all in the direction of a protective policy. This, no doubt, is the result of the in­ dustrial revolution that has taken place in the Southern States. Mills and fac­ tories of all kinds have sprung op in the South. Thinking Southerners recognize that the immense progress that has been made in their section of the country within th* last few years is only a fore­ cast of tlie great things that will be ac­ complished by the South in the near future. She has the soil, the climate and all that thousand and- one other natural advantages that are guarantees of a brilliant future for her if she will join with the North in defending the American policy erf protection. Without her vote the pro-British policy of Free-Trade has not the ghost of a chance. It is, there­ fore, a matter for congratulation that the New South is beginning to recognize that it would commit a great blunder if tt should become the ally of the Free- Traders. In the words of General Pryor "a new generation is coming to the front whose bosoms are purged of tlie passions of tlie past; who are taught by necessity tbe supreme importance of material in­ terests, and who will fully co-operate with that party, whichever it be, that promises most for the advancement and •t enrichment of the South." To this new generation Protectionists extend a hearty invitation to co-operate in the work of protecting North and South, East and West, from the blight ing influence of a policy that would des­ troy American industries that British manufacturers might have a market for their cheap-made goods. It will be a 'Mpsed day for the Republic when this ijglltatton is accepted in the spirit in It i* offered.
