saying: "My friends forget iny years.
I hold on to politics in the hope of
possibly helping to settle the Irish
question. But general operations of
the party and particular subjects I am
obliged and intend to leave to the
hands of others."
A leai>ixg exchange says: "Mr.
Graves, chief of the bureau of engraving
and printing, has made his
report of the operations of his bureau
daring the last fiscal year. There
were finished and delivered daring the
year 26,655,496 sheets of securities,

bank notes, amounting in value to !

or $201,987 less than for the preceding
fiscal year, and less than in any year
since 1S78. The amount expended for
salaries was $6,433 less than the aDpro?
priation, and the amount charged to
the appropriation for labor and ex- ;
penses was $176,352 Jess than the
amount appropriated, making an aggregate
saving of $182,785, which will
be returned to the treasury unused.
A large share of the saving is due to
the decrease in work produced, but at
least $125,000 may fairly be set down
to the credit of economies which have
been made in the management of the
burean. Estimates for expenses of
the bureau for the fiscal year 18S7 are
$901,030, or 106,640 in excess of those
for the enrrent fiscal year. The increase
is due to the increased quantity
of engraving and printing which the
various departments and bureaus of
the Government estimate that they will
retire.
A leading member of Parliament
says: "Signs of a complete backdown
by the government of Ireland have
been multiplying lately. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach is weakening, and the
Castle authorities are failing in the
task of supporting the unreasonable
landlords against the united renters of
Ireland. The surrender of Capt
PJankett is one of the most significant
events reported. In several cases besides
that of Bennett he has refused to
detail troops to evict tenants where
the rents are appealed against as
unfair. The transformation of the
more brutal agents of the Forster and
Spencer regimes into an attitude of
protection for the tenants threatened
with wrongful evictions is regarded
Uy l^auvuauoio ao a, vviiviu^Ai v .
that the Government have found that
English public opinion against evictions
is too strong to be resisted. The
Tories are in power, but Gladstone
and Parnell are dictating their action.
Among other notable straws are the
decisions of Tory judges to refuse to
evict until the power of the tenant to
f pay is fnllv proved. The Times cries
j||a out that this is the supercession of the
law of the land. The Tories insist that
Ireland is quiet because her leaders
are disconraged. Monday's events
prove, on the contrary, the justice of
fbe Parnelite claim, that Ireland is
governable now only by the law of the
National League."
The Xew York Star, in speaking of
the English Irish situation, says:
Reforms, like revolutions, d.> not go
backward. The great gathering of
n X M U T
j&.ngnsn Jjiouraia zu juetrus, jui uum
seeking any compromise with the
seceders from the ranks of the party
on the home rule question, adopted
resolutions making home rnle for Ireland
the leading feature of the Liberal
platform. They declared their allegiance
to Gladstone, and frowned upon
. the attempts of the Chamberlainites to
divide the party 011 Irish questions.
The short-sighted dissidents will
probably see in this evidence that their
coalition with the Tories has a longer,
lease of life, but unless we are utterly
mistaken ip estimating the power of
the new Democracy that Mas Deen
brought to the front" by the extension
of the franchise in Great Britain, the 1
triumph of the reactionaries will be <
but brief, and tne opponents of home
rule will purchase a brief continuance
of power by a permanent retirement
from public life.
The demand of Ireland for local
self-government is just, and it mnst be
granted if any real unity is ever to
exist in the British empire. It is in
accord with the true interests of the
great ma^s of the English people, and ;
the men who oppose it will forfeit the
sympathy and support of those who
will be the governing power in England
as soon as the latter come to appreciate
their strength and organize
for its full assertion.
There can be no question as to its
sympathy of the ?reat majority of
Americans with the Irish aspirations
for liberty, and the Star is proud that
one of the most conspicuous of the
Irish patriots is able, through its columns,
to convey to American renders
the earliest intelligence of all that
promises well for the car.se.
R*vi?*w of (hfi Elections.
Elections were held on last Tuesday
in thirty-five States. Interest mostly j
centered in the election of members of j
Congress, as it was known that the
Republicans would make a determined '
effort to gain a majority in the House,
or at least to reduce the Democratic
majority to a narrow margin. The

over the country, as most of the grains !
on the Democratic side have come
from the Northern and Western States
which heretofore have been llepubli-!

some in the Southern States. The
Democrats who have been defeated j

the Administration, so it may be i

The Democrats show gains in Minnesota,

while the Republicans show gains in
Virginia, Ohio, New York, Illinois |

and Indiana. The total gain of the
Democrats is fourteen members,and of
the Republicans twenty-four members,
which reduces the Democratic majority
to twenty-six. Morrison, the free

defeat. The defeat of a number of
Democratic candidates can be attributed
to the over-confidence of the
party in the election, and should be
a lasting lession to the party to be
always on the alert. While the major- j
ity is all that is sufficient for practical
purposes, the party made a uarrow
escape and it should be remembered
in the future. Onr nennle are to he

The Work or the Postal Serviee.
From the annual report of the Second
Assistant Postmaster General Knott,
it appears that on the 80th of June,
1885, there were in operation throughout
the United States 22,799 routes of
all classes on which mail service was
performed at annual rate of expendi
tare at the close of the 1 st fiscal year
of $29,026,058. The aggregate length
of all these routes was 387,586 miles,
on which there was an aggregate
annual travel of 258,788,065 miles.
Tables show that from April 1, 18S5,
to June 30, 1856, the [-total savings in
annual rate of cost in this department
of the postal service, effected by orders
and new contracts for transportation
and mail equipments, to be $1,940,786.
In the star service there was an increase
of 874 routes, and of 1,693 miles
in length, and a decrease of $63,623 in
i _ r i L T . _ . l. ~
annual ram ui expenunure. in me
messenger mail service there was an
increase of 20 routes, and a decrease of
$44,357 in annual rate of expenditure.
In the steamboat service there was an
increase of one route, and a decrease
of l,lSo miles, and of $216,683 in
annual rate of cost, the steamboat
service thus dispensed with being supplanted
by railway and star service.
Ia the railroad service there was an
increase of 81 routes, of 2,901 miles in
length, and of $761,090 in annual rate
of cost. In the railway postal car
service there was a decrease of $63,167,
or 294 per cent, in the annual rate of
cost. The annual rate of expenditure
in the railway transportation on the
SOthof June, 1986, was $15,520,191, as
against $14,858,495 on the 30lh of June,
1885. The increase in the annual rate
of cost was $761,959, or 5.16 per cent.,
as $1,484,889, or 11.18 per cent, or
ahont one-half of the increase of last
year, and much less than any of the
years preceding.
ine appropriation ior iiiu current
year for railroad transportation was
$15,595,432. The estimates for the
next year are $15,867,962, being an
increase of only ^$272,530 over the
appropriation for the current year.
Ti e number of railway postoffice lines
is 263. The appropriation for this
service for the current year is $1,808,000;
the estimates lor the next year
are $1,934,560. In the whole star
service there was an increase of 7.11
per cent, in the quantity of service,
and a decrease in the rate of cost of
9.6$ per cent, as compared with the
preceding- five years. In the star
service the appropriation for the last
nscal year was 5b,aw,uw, aua cne
sum actually expended $5,443,276.89,
leaving on unexpended balance of
$456,803.11.
Under the last general letting, that
of the western section, embracing the
States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas,
Kansas, Nebraska, California, Nevada
and Oregon, and the Territories, for
star service in that section, which went
into operation .on the 1st of July, 1886,
there was a saviug of the annual rate
of expenditures of $2SS,575.10, being
12 per cent, on the rate of service in
that section during the previous preceding
contract term, and represents
a saving of syo2,7UU.4U lor tne wnoic
contract term of four years.
Reference is made to the establishment
daring the year of the steamboat
route from Tampa to Key West to
Havana. Gratifying results are anticipated
therefrom.
Under the present law regulating
iromnftiisafioii for railwav DOS t office
cars no pay is allowed for service in
apartment cars under 40 feet in length.
An examination made last year led to
the disclosure of the -face that a great
tiiBuv railroads in various sections of
the country were paid for this apartment
car service. The aggregate
amount paid since 1873 was $979.97,
or at an ^annual expenditure of $80,161.73.
This payment was deemed
unwarranted by law, and was discontinued
by orders of the department.
A number of railroads which had received
grants of land from Congress,
which, under their charters, were required
to carry the mails at such price
as Congress should prescribe, and
WJWV^A tior iliopo ViiivA honn rp.
duel ions made by act of Congress of
20 yer cent., had not been treated heretofore
as laud-grant roads. An examination
led to the discovery of the fact
that the amount of the overpayments
totuemby reason of this omission
reached the sum of 69,647.91. This
sum has been deducted from the fpay
of these companies, and there is a
consequent reductiou of $12,176.07 iu
the rate of annual expenditures for
railroad transportation. The total
annual amounts deducted from all
the land-grant roads under thi3 provision
in their charters, and under the
ActofSnly 12, 1876, is $386,080.54.
A statement is given showing the percentage
of increase and decrease in the
estimates for cost ot inland mail ser- j
vice from 18S1, 782, '83, 'S4, '85, '86,1
'&7 :RR mid it. shows while the increase
last year was 6.50 per cent., for the
year preceding 14.74 per cent., that
for the next year will only be 5,58,
while there was an increase in the
number of routes in mileage and in
annual travel, and an increase in
weight of mail carried.
The report closes with a recommendation
for a change in the method of
compensating railway liiai! service.
Under the present law railroads are,
-
yuiil according to the average daily J
weight of mail carried both ways.
Oil account of the uiany incongruities
nnder this mpfhnd nf'nav. and the nn
satisfactory method of adjusting the
compensation, a change is recommended.
The change proposed is a substitution
of a space basis instead of a weight
basis of pay, that is for the amount of
space which is necessary for the transportation
and distribution of the mail.
It is believed that the substitution of
this method of pay for the existing
method will, without seriousiy affecting
the present service, make a saving
of about $300,000 per year in the
iimnal Dvnon^itnfXi*
and rait^ay mail service.
The Analysis of Fertilizers.
Col. A. P. Butler, Commissioner of
the State Agricultural Department,
writes in the JVews and Courier a
reply to the recent article of Capt.
B. R. Tillmau, touching the latter's
charge that the Faculty of the South
Carolina College had offered to make
analyses of fertilizers at five dollars
per band. Col. Butler says:
In the first place, I would call especial
attention to tbe fact that I have
nowhere nor at any time asserted that
no negotiations had ever been 011 foot
between members of the College faculty
aud myself. On the contrary, impressed
with tiie hope that by the cooperation
of the two institutions the
work of advancing the agricultural
interests of our people might be facilitated,
I had 011 several previous occa
sions taken steps in tnis direction,
though never officially as a representative
of the board of agriculture. It
was in consequence of and in response
to one of my attempts in this direction,
or so I understood it at the time,
that what I understood to be an informal
conference was held, in the
proceedings of which, as given in a
card signed by Profs. McBryde, Woodrow
and Barney, Capt. Tillman claims
to fiud the substantiation of his statement.
Next follows the statement of Professors
McBryde, Woodrow and Buruey,
as given to Capt. Tillman and as
Tit-iKlicVio/l in a ieQiio nf Tttk
News ani> Herald. Col. Butler thinks
that Capt. Tillman's construction of
the Professors' statement is incorrect
and unwarranted, and, in support of
this view, publishes the following
paper:
Commissioner Butler, having called
our attention to the following passage
in a letter of Mr. B. II. Tillman in the
News and Cornier of October 23:
"The following extracts from one of
my former letters written last December
will show what it cost to analyze
fertilizers, and as the College offered
to make 500 analyses for $2,500, it will
be seen whether there has been any
extravagance," asks us whether the
language of our report of the conference
alluded to will bear the interpre
tation pat upon it by Mr. Tillman.
We unhesitatingly reply that it will
not. That no unqualified offer was
made to analyze fertilizers at a charge
of ?5 for each analysis will clearly
appear from the following passages of
the report: "He (the commissioner) j
thought it probable, I'owever, that the
steadily increasing demand for fertilizers
in che State, and also for determinations
of food products, xcaters, etc.,
(italics ours) would jarry the number
up to 400 or 500." And again, "They
added further that should the estimate
of the commissioner prove correct and
I fKn nnmKot* Af onolroac roou
bUts lilAIXXUVA. \Jt ftUftijnvo 1 V/UVU WV/j u
charge of aboat $5 for each would
amount to $2,500, a sum possibly sufficient
to meet all charges, including,"
etc. It is evident from this that the
committee included under the head of
"chemical determinations" not only
analsyes of "fertilizers" but also of
"waters," "food products," ores,
marl, etc. J. M. McBrydk,
James Woodrow,
W. B. Burney.
Col. Butler then remarks:
This statement leaves no possible
doubt as to the meaning of the card,
even had its language been clouded
and confusing instead of being, as it
is, perfectly clear, and even though
! common sense did not at once suggest
! that it would be absurd to suppose
that I could wantonly, and without

to myself, have rejected a proposition
which would have resulted in so considerable
a saving to the State and
have so strengthened, mv own position,
and that 1 would have neglected
to lay before the board of agriculture
so important a proposal, when I knew
that three of the members of that
board were also members of the board
of trustees of the College, from which
the proposition is said to havo emanated.

Woodrow to Col. Butler, which is here
given in full:
University of South Carolina, f
Columbia, S. C., October 25, 1886. $
Hon. A. P. Butler?My Dear Sir:
In response to your request that I give
you my recollection as to some points
touched on in the interview in November,
1882, between yourself and Profs.
McBryde and Burney and myself, I
make the following statement. After
so many years I, of course, cannot
nr>A/4 lv%* rr\ it <*?/%! -f* at*
JJ1VC IUC laug-iuigc UOUU LfJ UlYO^U VI
others, bat only the substance of what
was said as well as I can remember.
Before speakiug of the interview, I
may remind yoa that you had frequently
previously spoken to rne with
reference to the scientific work of
your department, and had kindly expressed
your wish that I might become
formally connected with it. And it
gave n?e pleasure to render you assistance
iroin time to time when you
requested it. When I called on you
with Profs. McBryde and Bnrney in
November, 1882, it was by invitation
of Prof. McBryde, then chairman of
the faculty, and as I understood in accordance
with the wish of the College
board of trustees, though I did not
know in what form this wish had been :
expressed.
At the interview the suggestion was
repealed that the College professors
might do the scientific work needed by
your department, such as chemical
aualyses, determinations of minerals,
plants, etc., testing of seeds, agricultural
experiments, etc. I expressed
my approval of the suggestion, but at
the same time showed that it could
not be any' part of the duty of the
professors as such to do this work,
and that it could not be assigned them
by the board of trustees; that if they
should undertake it, it must be at the
request of the board of agriculture
made to them as individuals, that they
should be paid for such work by the
hoard of aorrir.nl) nre inst ae, if rhev
had no connection with the College;
that so far as I was concerned, I would
cheerfully continue to do without pay
the little I had been doing in the way
of making determinations of plants
and minerals, but that in tbe case of
chemical analyse?, agricultural experiments,
etc., where the labor would be
considerable, it would be far different:
that there, if the board of agriculture
should appoint one of the professors
to be its chemist, for example, it would
have to pay him just as it would have
to pay any one else it might appoint,
and that in no sense conld it be the
College that was doinj; work for the
department. I think I illustrated this
point by referring to the case of Prof.
White in Georgia, who, I had beeu informed,
held the two whollyindependent
offices of professor in the State
University and State chemist, receiving
separate salaries, one from the
University and the other from the
agricultural department. I mteht now
illustrate by the case of the professor
of chemistry in the Charleston Medial
nollecrp. whn nr. fhf> camo timp
makes chemical analyses for outside
parties for pay, with which the Medical
College lias nothing to do.
As to to the cost of chemical analyses,
1 have invariably declined making
auy very definite statement. I do not
remember distinctly what was said on
that point during the interview above
referred to; but I suppose the recolnf
mv rnltpacrjiAR is wiprwi
and that the statement was made as
given in the Neics and Courier of
Saturday, and also that I concurred in
it. If I did not then, I would be
willing to do so now, that is, I think
that $2,500 might be a ,48um possibly
sufficient to meet all charges for making
500 analyses." It would depend
altogether on the nature of the analyses,
whether a number of them could
be carried on simnltaneously, etc.
Making analyses is not like ploughing
or picking cotton; though even in
these operations I suppose the number
ot acres ploughed in a day would deTvnrl
nn the kind of lftnrl. and the
number of pounds picked would depend
on the state of the crop. I could
make twenty or thirty of some kinds
of analyses in less time than I could
make two or three of other kinds.
Thus, you sec, I could no more tell
with accuracy how many analyses
could be made in a certain time than a
lawyer could tell how many legal
opinions could be written in a day, or
a physician how may visits he could
make in a day, or a wood-chopper how
many trees he could cut down in a day.
But all this does not iuterfere with the
general accuracy of the suggestion
that $2,500 might be a "sum possibly
sufficient" to meet all charges for
TrmL-infr fivft hnndif>d analyses.
Perhaps I can explain this point still
more clearly by referring to a card
which I received from Charleston after
I saw yon this morning. #It is Prof.
Mem Hunger's "Pricc List" of fertilizer
analyses, and, therefore, applies to
the very work your department has to
do. I give von prices in fall:
Total phosphoric acid (phos.
rock $ 5 00
Available (sol. and rev.) phosphate
acid 10 00
3 acids (sol. rev. and ins. phos.
acids) 15 Oil
A _ /LI -5 ~ #1 O .
Ammonia ^oiooa, nsn, o. o.
meal, etc.) 10 00
Ammonia (sulphate of Am. and
nitrate of soda and potash), 5 00
Potash, K2 0 5 00
The three acids and potash.... 17 00
Complete analyis 25 00
I think these prices are fair and
moderate. Of course the cost would
be somewhat less for a number of
analyses or for regular work. Now
what would the cost of 50o analyses
be according to this list? If "complete
analyses" are meant it would be
$12,500; if the determination of "pota>!i"
nr "total nhosnhoric acid." it will
be $2,500.
But nothing more can be needed to
show that only the vaguest possible
statement can be made as to the cost
ol' analyses unless you know exactly
what analyses are meant. Yoors,
sincerely. James Woodrow.
As to Professor McBryde's ^remarks
in his address before the Legislature,
Col. Butler cites the fact that ^all that
was therein stated was that negotiaf
l tlTAHA 111 ft !?'/> Ilftf
L1UU3 WCIC in ?a law uv/i* ugnied
by anybody.
The letter of Col. Butler is a strong
paper, and is a sufficient explanation
of the conduct of the Board of Agriculture.
From Dr. Woodrow's statement,
it would seem that the estimate
of five dollars per brand \va3 not intended
to cover the cost of a complete

to pay for experiments and illustrations.
Captain Tillman must try again.
Make tlie Orphans Happy.
From all over Sonth Carolina and
Georgia there is gathered into the
Thornwell Orphanage, in Clinton,
South Caroliua, an orphan household
of more than sixty, who are being
cared for as Elijah was at the brook
Cherith. These are the wards of God's
people. If the generous-hearted Chris
tians of this and adjoining States
should withdraw their hands, all of
these children would speedily lose
their oppertunity of an education, and
would >eave this'qniet, happy country
home, where they are not only kindly
cared for, but also taught useful
manual arts and given an excellent
common school education.
"It is a good thing to give thanks
unto the Lord." But the Lord himself
tell us that the most acceptable
thanksgiving to Him is to feed the
fatherless and relieve the widow.
What say the readers of this paper
apout adopting this method of observing
Thanksgiving Day? Seud a
barrel of flour, or a sack of corn, or a
keg of molasses, or a few dollars to
the Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton,
S. C. Last year the average of a full
year's care of each child, including
board, clothing, education aud matron's
attention, was only $60 for each
child, which is evidence of economy.
What is given is well given.
Thi6 is the only institution for
orphans in South Carolina, outside of
Charleston. Though under the caro
of Presbyterians, it is open to children
ot all or no denomination.
