New York is having trouble
with her footpads. An epidemic
of highway robbery seems tol ave
broken out all over tbe country.
Col. lyiiott Shepard is rep¬
resented ns having said in a speech
the other night that the finger of
providence was plainly seen in the
history of the Republican party,
The colonel is mistaken. It
the finger of fraud and
that ho sees.
They tell this of a wealthy tax¬
payer in St. *Paul, Minn.; "When
asked to buy his daughter a gcog
rapliy, he wrote to the principal
of the school: “I do not sec any
use for a girl to take geography ■
lessons?, for it is of no use to them,
because they capnot be any offi¬
cer ip the army or navy.”
Gen. Boulanger has captured
Paris. His plurality in the elec
~ tion in that city Sunday was over
80,000. His success and popular¬
ity astonished his political en
emiefl. His victoay, in nil .prob
ahilty, will have a vflvy important
bearing upon the course ho will
pursue,"and upon the future ol
France. The downfall of flic
ministry is predicted and gen¬
eral elections in March are among
the probabilities.
Sf” .IL 1 -, YU???
In Richmond, Ya, Montgomery,
Ala., and several other towns in
the United States, there are street
railroads whoso motive power is
electricity. In Connecticut two
towns, eight or ten miles apart,
are connected by a railroad on
which tho cars are moved by the
same power, The oletricity is car¬
ried by a wire suspended just
above the tops of the ears, to
which it is supplied by a conduc¬
ting rod which remains in contact
with the wire all the time as the
cars move along. Motors charged
with electricity have boon’tried in
St. Luis and other cities, but have
not yet proved a success.
People are eager to read about
what plan to adopt to raise the ag¬
ricultural class cot of-their present
trouble, and the Advocate desires to
give the views of others on the ques
tion, 1 whether these views coincide
with ours or not. The Sparta I a li¬
nt ftelit'c says: The failure to make
the farm self-sustaining in tho mat
tor of provision supplies makes the
fanner the mere agent of the West¬
ern agriculturist, He becomes a
mere goose, to he picked by the or
ganizers of trusts and corners in
provisions. It is impossible for any
Jiving man to raise cotton enough,
at present pvices. to meet the ten
thousand various demands of the
farm and household, with prices
enhanced, frequently more than a
hundred percent., by thieviug trusts
.—the living, multiform, greedy,
growing, conscienceless, eldest l orn
spawn of an incestuous high tariff
The Georgia fanner who buys no
Western produce of any sort—

or anything whatever, ami wlm

For “Betterments” • and
“Revenue Only.”
Senator Joseph E. Brown lias
raised a storm of indignation in the
south by voting with the republi¬
cans in favor ot keeping up the tar¬
iff on cotton ties, cotton bagging,
tin plates, etc., which he would liRC
very much to allay. He made a
speech in the Senate recently with
this object in view. He washed his
hands “in impalpable water with in¬
visible soap;” and among other
things that are expected to do duty
in Georgia, said that he was “not a
protectionist per sc.” It is greatly to
the discredit of the. senior Senator
from Georgia that ho was never
known to be for any cause, or any
party “per sc;” but on the contrary
he has been for whatever causes and
parties that have been discredited
by his advocacy, and he has tried
them all in turn, lor “betterments
and “revenue only.”
“H is career sliows that lie never
had a conviction on any question
which he was not ready to change
lor political power.
“I[c has been prominent in office

politics, the
“Ho was a fi re -eater before
war, but when the war was cn, he
lid all in his power to embarrass
the Goverment at Richmond,
“During the carpet-bag era lie was
a republican. When the republican
dynasty fell he was found to be a
democrat in disguise.
“During all ihcse t ears of turbu¬
lence his private fortune constantly
increased. He grew rich by railroad
deals and by the employment of con¬
vict labor.”
Senator Drown votes with the re¬
publicans to heap burdens upon the
farmers of the sout h and theft ex¬
pects them to he consoled into bear
ing them quietly by the reflection
that he is “not a protectionist per
so.” He votes for every plundering
scheme that blood sucking monopo
lists dev.si to rob the people and
then, with many a shirk, bids them
ivinbor lie is “not a protectionist per
se,”
Don't make any mistake about
this matter; Senator Brown is “not a
protectionist per se.” O no! Senator
Brown is a protectionist for “bet
torments” an t “’’evenue only.”
Charleston, S, C., Jan, 10.—Tho
situation as to trusts seems about
to he reversed in South Carolina.
I‘oi’ over a year the farmers in va¬
rious portions of the Estate have been
engaged in organizing into societies
called tjie farmers’ Alliance. Not
much attention lias been paid to the
movement heretofore, hut nmv that
the time lias arrived for laying in
hum supplies, espceilly commercial ,
lertiliizers, it begins to look as i f
the farmers have themselves organ¬
ized a ,8ort of trust, or combine,
principally against the fertilizer
trade. In sumo countries the alii
anec men lutvo combined to buy
their fertilizers in bulk from the
the manufacture!ca, most of whom
are in this city, Baltimore and wil
mington, Do 1 , in other countries
they have decided to dispence with
the use of commercial fertilizers
altogether, using home made man¬
ures. Tho effect al these combina¬
tions on the fertilizer trade is not as
vet serious, but dealers and manu¬
facturers are uneasy and it is not
improbable that there will be far
reaching changes in the business be¬
fore long ami through the influence
of the farmers’ Alliance, which pro¬
mises to develope into a very power¬
ful Must.

“Come to Stay.”
J. B. Williams, Druggist, Florenceville, Texas,
says: " Some time ago I lost all my hair, in con¬
sequence of measles. After due waiting no new
growth appeared. I then used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
and my hair grew out thick and strong. It hat
apparently come to stay. The Hair Vigor is
evidently a great aid to nature, and deservedly
popular.”
,J. W. Bowen, Editor Enquirer, McArthur,
Ohio, writes: “Ayer’s Hair Vigor is a most excel¬
lent preparation. Its use makes the hair glossy
and soft, and promotes a new growth. The
Hair Vigor
Is also a sure cure for dandruff and troublesome
Itching humor.”
