Government's Display ol Cereals, Grasses and I.H.luminous Plants at the Exposition. [Nows and Courier, May G.] Thoro ia a Bingle exhibit at the exposition that would bc worth hun dreds of millions of dollars to the State every year, if only the farmers of overy county, or the leading raen among them, could be brought to ex amino it for a few hours and learn tho surprising and immensely valua ble lesson it teaches. We do not think its value can easily be over stated, if the great possibilities it shows forth are fully considered. The difficulty is to give an adequate idea of what it is, and what it shows, to those who have not seen it. It will certainly give to any intelligent farmer, or land owner who is not a farmer, information and suggestions that will be worth large money to him, if he will uso the knowledge it affords so freely and H>> convincingly. It will pay auy farmer in tho State many times the expense of a visit to the exposition to see it, even if he were to go back homo without look ing at another exhibit. It is the exhibit by tho United States Agricultural Department of native and foreign cereals and grasses and leguminous plants growing in the soil and climato of this section. As tho exhibit is made on average sandy land of tho low country, it is, of course, of especial interest to low country people. No farmer of tho low-country should miss it accord ingly, and no one will miss it if we can happily givo him an idea of what it is, and if he regards his own life long interest. We can do little more here than indicate its general character and scope, as several of the crops shown, taken singly, would each afford ma terial for a long descriptive article. What follows is merely a body of notes, taken off-hand while passing through the exhibit, and conveying such information regarding it as can be given in a single article covering tho whole display. Tho exhibit comprises about two acres of the exposition grounds, and is divided into small plats or sections, each as large as an average garden bed. All have been planted since last fall and throughout thc winter, until now. The ground was former ly planted in strawberries-and it is particularly to be noted that no ferti lizer whatsoever has been applied to it for the crops now on it ; that the seasons have "not been favorablo" to the crops on it ; and not a drop of water has been applied to it artifi cially. Tho exhibit is in charge of Mr. J. J. Bean, who has had forty ATTENTION To physical warnings will often prevent a serious mA illness.

His viows and opin ion? and estimates regarding the re sults obtained are, therefore, of au thority, and we quote them accord ingly, instead of offering our own. There are 123 varieties of grain, forage and grass plants on the two acres, and "tho crop on the two acres, as it now stands, not matured, would feed forty horses or ir .les for four months." Yet there is a gene ral impression among our farmers that the sandy land of the coast region and of the low-country will not produce enough forage to feed cattle and other stock. Some of the plats are plain and conceded failures. Tho soil, or the climate, or the latitude, has not suited tho trial crops planted on them. Their failure, however, only serves to emphasise thc great success of tho new crops grown on the same ground a few feet or inches distant. lt is duo to no accident that they have grown so well. Tue climate, soil and latitude suits them well evidently-or they would have failed in the conditions that have so dis couraged their neighbors. Tho following notes relate to the crops that have made a successful growth, or a "splendid" growth, as many have done ; each note referring to a separate plot.

"When tho land is strong one of the best meadow grasses. Yields five to six tons to acre. Can be grazed tho year through, after the first cutting. Renews itself from the roots." Eight plants of Blue (lr vn) grass are shown. A good grass for low lands. "AU will stand the sun-if good seed are planted, and they are planted deep enough." Horse Bean : Planted Maroh 26. Germinated in ten days. Now ten inches high and in full bloom. "The greatest crop we have for horse feed. Yields thirty to forty bushels to the aore. The beans are orushed or cracked and fed with oats, and are better than carrots or any other food." Rape, from Essexshiro, England : "A groat feed for cattle.

Crimson clover, with Hairy am English Vetch : A fine crop. Wil cut about ten tons to acre ; can b cut at once. Must be replanted. Tho wheat exhibit is a very strik ing one, and calls for especial atten tiou. Every farmer in the low-coun try should see it, as it proves tba the low-country is one of the hos wheat-growing regions in the countr j There are twonty-two different v? rieties in the exhibit, and nearl every one is doing all that a farme could wish for the orop. Of six c them, Mr. Bean estimates the yield as tho orop stands in the seven plats, at forty bushels to the aor "Though wc hivo had a mighty poe season, and have used no fertilizers, ho said, "it is nearly as good whei as I evor saw in England." It wi planted in drills eight inches apar and planted deep. "The groat trot ble with farmerr, here," he added, V that they do riot cover the whei doej) enough," Of one variety, the "Valley wheat, Mr. Bean remarked that it *<very strong stemmed, and ther fore will resist wind, which ls an lr portant quality for this region." ( another, tho "Boarded" wheat, 1 remarked that it was "the bent wher in appearance, on the grounds" compliment which it well deserv? as it stands six feet high-"and I yield is also greater th,au that of tl beardless Yaript.es." I,t rdso. has tl distiuPvivp merit that it "resists co better tl\an any other variety." !* not popular with farmers, because is moro ?lillie ni i to olean on aocou of its beard. In ft general way of description, showing the dense growth on sot of the wheat plats, lt may be nott that an attempt was made to con the number of heads ov the stal that could be inoluded within i sweep of a man's arms, with the t of his fingers touching ; but 1 effort was abandoned after a ti for the reason that "the job would take ap too much time." We have given so maoh space to this exhibit of grasses, grains, etc., beoauBe of the astonishing revelation it affords of the vast capabilities of this county, this region, this State, and this section, for the production^ of wheat and other bread crops, for raising fine horses, oattle and other stock, for making dairy products, and for growing bay. The little two-aore farm proves, beyond all doubt or question, that, instead of being oompelled to buy all these things because we oannot pro duce them, we can produoe them for sale in competition with any other part of the country. It also proves that, so far from being "dependent on cotton" for a| paying croy, our farmers are delib erately neglecting, year after year, far more profitable and less trouble some crops in order to grow cotton. It is an exhibit that will deeply interest and impress any of them and will mean, for many of them, the making of a fortune. They should not fail to see it, at any cost.

Washington, May 7.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the Senate took a sensational turn again to-day. Senator McComas, of Maryland, re ferring to the alleged cruelties of j American soldiers in the Philippines, cruelties whioh he deeply deplored, told of some of the cruelties whioh had occurred on both sides during the oivil war. Neither side, he held, wr.s to be held responsible for those regrettable occurrences, as neither side approved of them. M'COMAS'S SLANDKU. Referring to eleotions in the South Senator MoComas said that the Senators from South Carolina and Mississippi (Tillman and Money) oried out against the small percent age of voters in the early elections in the Philippines. After disouissing the election methods in the States referred to he said : "We behold Senators from the two States where there is less popular liberty than in any other shouting loudest for legis lational liberty on the other side of the globe." SENATOR TILLMAN'S UK ri,Y . These remarks drew a sensational reply from Senator Tillman, of South Carolina. He charged that Mr. McComas had passed over with complacency the "outrages and ini quities and barbarities," which had been, he said, committed by Ameri oan soldiers. He deolared that when the light had been turned on in full upon the Philippine situation the Amerioan people would see to it on November 5 next that a majority in one branch of Congress would not be "committed to this infamous policy." "If I can have my way," ho de olared, "you shall not pass tho bill until full light has been turned on the Philippine situation." He de olared that it was no longer possible to turn away the responsibility for the cruelties and infamies committed by the American soldiers in the Philippines. Referring to tho situation of the colored people in the South Senator Tillman deolared that the Senators from those States were prepared to meet any legislation which might be brought into Congress upon that question. He discussed the situation in the South during the years immediately subsequent to the oivil war, and de clared that if it had been known prior to the oonolusion of the war that in the South the reins of govern ment were to be turned over to the niggers, there would have been in augurated a guerrilla warfare in the swamps of the South that would have been kept np indefinitely.

ID his own State, he said, there were 200,000 more negroes than whites, and in Mississippi there were 800,000 moro colored than white people. In order to maintain their self-respeot the whites, he declared, were obliged to take the reins of government in the South by whatever means they oould-using the shotgun as one of the means. Referring to the reinauguration of white supremacy in South Carolina, he said, the whites had secured a majority of 8,900. It might just as easily have been 39,000 or 90,000. They simply got such a majority as was neoessary. Ile referred to the outrages in the Philippines, and then said he had only heard of the application of the "saud cure" in the South. He thought the saud cure au described was mur der. "When," he declared, "we get ready to put a negro's face in the sand wo put his body there, too." He insisted that the Republicans' contention was that the negroes of the South wore fitted to govern in this country, but that the Filipinos were not fitted to govern themselves in tho Philippines. In the United States, he maintained, a serious problem confronted the government -the negro problem-and we might better try to solve that than to hunt for trouble in the Philippines. "Throughout the South," said he, "there is a horror hanging over every household for this awful fear of rape ; and yet you turn your back upon it and march to tho East, where you murder and butcher and torture tho poor Filipinos, and you are doing all this in tho name of Christianity and humanity and deliberately. T can see the hypocrisy oozing out of you all over." (Laughter.) "As Confederates," the Senator declared, "wo cannot think it right to go into the Philippines and deso late the islands with fire and sword." Adverting further along to tho situation in the South Senator Till man asserted : "We will not submit to negro domination and tho sooner you understand that tho bettor." He urged that the discussion of the Southern question should case. "You are taunting us," said he, "about our treatment of tho negroes of the South, hoping at tho same time that we will not intorfere with your game of deviltry in the Philippines. We, hope you will help us of the South to get rid of the threat of negro domi nation which hangs over us like the sword of Damocles. Lynobings will continue as long as those fiends rapo our wives and daughters." While Senator Tillman was speak ing many of his Demooratio hearers left the chamber, bis audience i tho floor being largely on tho Republi can side. Senator Burton, of Kansas, vigor ously arraigned Senator Tillman for his utterances. He asserted that tho Senator who could defend slavery and government by the shotgun could not be expected to think well of Senators who were trying to carry good government to tho Philippines. Ho was astonished tint a Senator in one breath should make an appeal for unsuited government in the Phil ippines and tho next boast of crimes almost unparalleled in history. Ho then made a warm defence of tho government polioy in the Philippines and became involved in a heated colloquy with Senator Rawlins, of Utah, because he had denounced some of Senator Rawlins' statements as false. He paid a brilliant tribute to Gen. Funston as ono of the great heroes of the army. Senator MoLaurin, of Mississippi, quoted figures concerning Mississippi cl. <..* ?ons in response to statements made by Senator McComas. He said he thought the time was past for waving tlie "bloody shirt," or for.tho making of invidious remarks con cerning the States of the Union. . - "New Milford, Conn., had a disas trous fire last Tuesday.
