Washinotos, 1). C.. July 10.?There
is !i revival of the scheme mentioned
in tlic Star sonic time ago of crowding
tin appointment bill through the
present Congress while the ltcpubli
cans have a safe majority in both
Houses. The results of the census
just completed, or alleged to be completed,
will control the basis of representation
in the lower house of Congress
for the next ten years. A pre- '
liminary summary of the results, in- ,
formally submitted to the Republican
bosses, it is said, shows large ]
gains received in the Republican j
States of the Northwest, while in the
Democratic Southern States there is
made to appear a falling oft* 111 population
which will materially reduce
the basis of representation. Some of
the Republican leaders in the Senate
are quietly urging upon their colleagues
that by the prompt tabulation
of the returns of the eleventh
census and the speedy passage of an
apportionment bill based thereon, a
continuation of the power of the
Republican party in the lower House
can be more effectually assured than
by the passage of the Lodge Election
law. Tliej' argue that the provisions
of the force bill are so repugnant to
the general sentiment of the communities
in which it is proposed to
put them ii? operation that the execution
ujf the Jaw, even if it can hi;
passed by the Senate, it is believed,
will be practically impossible. A new
apportionment, on the other hand,
passed by a Republican House and
Senate, and approved by a Republican
President, striking off fifteen ov
twenty representatives from districts
now represedtcd by Democrats, and
adding thirty or forty new members
to .States deemed reliably Republican,
it is hoped, will give a steady working
majority in the House for ten
years to come.
The trouble is with the next election.
Even the most reckless partisan
hardly dare to suggest that the
new apportionment bill should be
made to apply to the elections to take
place next November, and for which
a large number of nominations have
already been made on the present
recognized lines. A tentative suggest
n n. timely advanced, is that until
the Legislatures of the different
States have had time to adjust their
Congressional districts to the new npportionim
nt, Congress might enact a
law maintaining the districts as existbig
in the present Congress. This, it is
thought, might avert threatened losses
in Ohio and Indiana and answer
the purpose contemplated by the
McComas national gerrymander bill.
Hut this proposition is not supported
with sufficient strength to insure its
passage by the House and it would
suicb* fail in the Senate. So the plan
reverts to the original idea of crowding
the new apportionment bill
through before the expiration of tlio
lifty first Congress, whiio all three
branches of the government are in
the hands of the sauie uurty, without
waiting to take any risks on the next
November elections.
Superintendent Porter can, '51
course, bo relied upon to facilltotb
this scheme in every way by hastening
the linal tabulation and report.
On all previous occasions the new apportionment
based 011 the completed
census has been made in a leisurely
and orderly manner by the Congress
succeeding the one which controlled
the talcing of the census. The propriety
of this course would seem apparent
to any party less bent on perpetuating
its own power, regardless
of the means employed.?New York

THE FARMERS' COMMITTEEA
Meeting in Columbia to I)|hcu8k tlie Situation:
Columbia, S. C., July 7.?In response
to some unaerstanOmg apparently
reached by private communication,
a number of the leaders of the
Tillman movement assembled in this
oitv to-day for a conference.
Among those present were Capt.
G. W. Shell, Laurens, another of the
famous manifesto?or of that part of
it which Capt. Tillmon does not
claim?Col. J. L. M. Irby, of Laurens;
T. ~\V. Standland, of Berkeley; Octa

J. T. Murphy, of Charleston; H. R.
Thomas, of Edgefield, and others.
Capt. Tillman by reason of the delay
of the Augusta train, did not
reach here until 7:510 and took tho 8:15
train to Camden without coming up
town. The number of conferees was
incre ased by the arrival of J. A. Sligh
and "W. D. Hardy, Newberry; A. \V.
Jones, Abbeville; Dr. W. 13. Rice,
Barnwell; O. W. Buchanan, Fairfiele:
W. H. Timmerman, Edgefield;
J. E. Tindal, Clarendon, and H.
A. Meetze and J. H. Coimts, Lexington.
The conference first assembled tonight
at the Agricultural building'
but hastily adjourned on the discovery
by a late arriving delegate that
a reporter had climbed a tree within a
few feet of an open window where
the meeting was held. The conference
resumed its session at the Grand
Central in a room on tho second fl?or
with guards posted to keep at a dis
tnnee representatives of the pi cas.
Capt. Shell presided and the situation
was throroughlyjdiscussed. The
sense of the majority present, it is
learned, was in favor of making no
nominations at tho August convention,
but to vote down the profK>sition
of a State primary, and to also
elect a new State executive committee
of known Tillman tendency.
It was also proposed by somo to
have the convention take action for
the reapportionment of the J^into at
the September convention, takum tho
population of the countiep by tho
census of 1880 as tho bftsis, instead of
as now.
The members of tho conference
talked with express tho greatest confidence
in being able to control both
tho August and September conventions
for the farmers' movement.?

fiam Jones on Public Men.
Rev. Sam Jones addressed an immense
audience at the prohibition
campgrouuds near Moundsville, West
Virginia, on Sunday, touching up
quite a number of national characters
in the course of his remarks. Of
United States Senator Matthew
Quay, of Pennsly vania, he said: "Talk
about wickedness, liock at Matt.
Quay. There you find it personified.
Unless he fe^ehts he'll go wlioro tho
hro/Ufcth not." '
Turning his attention to President
Harrison, Mr. Jones said: "He's small.
I saw a picture of him under his
grandfather's hat a few days ago.
They might have put tho whole Harrison
family under tho hat and still
have had lots of room."
Tho Rev. Mr. Jones eulogized exPresident
Grover Cleveland in picturesque
language, saying at one
time: "There's a man with a backbone
as big as that pillar there. If
he hadn't so much spine ho might
have been President still."
LOOCE AND HEMPHILLI'cii
Picture* of tlir l-ciulcr* In tlto Klc?- '
(lorn* Kill Contest.
There is it striking contrast be- ,
tweon Mr. Lodge, the leader of the (
Republican forces in the contest over j
the federal election bill, and Mr. |
Hemphill, who by virtue of his position
on the committee on the election ,
of President and Vii*>-President, is ;
at the head of the opposition. Mr.
Lodge has more contradictory traits
of character than any man I know of
in the House. He is a curious combination
of liberal reformer and demagoguo;
of broad intelligence and bitter
partisanship. In his character as
partisan he is admired by his colleagues
and has a considerable fol- (
lowing. As a rofonnerlie lias scarcely (
any following in the House and is
sneered at by those who are his associates
and admirers in his other j
character. His associates aro of two
classes. Thoso who follow his lead
on the federal election question call
him a political dude wlion ho talks
civn service reiorm. wnen lio ap* .
pears as a reformer of political methods
ho is superb but ineffective, but
in party intrigue he will go further
than some of his less intellectual and .
less enlightened associates. He is
clever however, in the assumption of ,
high motive in his partisan action, .
and is too shrewd to use denunciation '
instead of argument- The best presentation
of his sido of the Federal
election question that has been made, !
and the best that can be made, was ,
that which was made in his opening
argument. He is not an orator ana !
never rises to the point of eloquence. ;
His speeches are finished literary pro- ,
ductions, and he delivers them with
an appearance of earnestness Ho is
a fair representative of the intelligent
but bigoted young Republicans of
New England, still retaining the
strain of Puritan blood.
Mr. Hemphill is a good representative
of tho progressive young men
of the South. If Mi-. Reed, in a
spirit of mdgnanimity, had so designed
it, ho could not have done better
for tho Democrats than ho did in
tho appointment of Mr. Hemphill to
the head of the minority committee
which was to consider this bill. Ho
is not a fire eater. He is calm, dispassionate,
logical and a good lawyer.
It would bo much easier to throw
Mr. Reed, Mr. Lodge or any other
cold-blooded New Englander into a
passion than to provoke an indiscretion
on the part of this young South
Carolinian. He is fail- and frank.
His speech is slow and somewhat
halting at first. There is never anything
in his manner to provoke antagonism;
he never forgets to be
courteous to his opponent, however
bitter that oppenent may be. He is
not as graceful a writer as is Mr.
Lodge, his periods may not be quite
as well rounded, ho does not attempt
as much effect with his voice, but as
he advances with his argument, feeling
what he says, as he did on opening
the case for the South in this discussion,
he becomes eloquent without
effort and without knowing it. There
is a frank earnestness in what he says
which impressess his hearers. His
?ow?, Uia mMtnar Mtd liiu aDAAT.h I1Dpoal
for fair play, and give promise of
fair play in return. His speeches are
the work of a lawyer rather than a
litterary man, but he is a scholarly
and as able as is the young statesman
from Massachusetts. The contrast
between the two men is such as to
make them suitable antagonists.
R either side could have been repre
seated by any one who could present
tho case at opening better than the
men selected

0110 naturally expects some bitterness
in liis speech. But he is never discoui-teous
either in language or manner.
He maintains an air of superiority,
however, which is sometimes 1
offensive. Mr. Hemphill is extremely i
modest and is one of the most amiable
men in the House. During the eight 1
or ten years I have known him I have

A Gruesome Hour.
The law of Minnesota, which requires
that the execution of a mur- 1
derer shall take place between mid- i
night and dawn, has just been enforced
for tho first timo in the case of ;
William Beodker, who was hanged j
shortly after midnight at Pino City.
Tho Minnesota lawgivers seem to
have desired to add gloom and solem- <
nity to a ceremony most gruesome at
best, but the hour must be a very inconvenient
and untimely one for tho
murderer himself. Every attentive
reader 01 tuo accounts oi executioners
knows that a baby never enjoys
balmier and sweeter slumber than a
condemned murderer tho night befhre
bo is to bo hanged. Ho also
knows that he takes a very excellent
and hearty breakfast in the morning i
The refreshing sleep and the hearty <
breakfast ore always the features of i
the few hours that precedo an execu- i
tion. But under the now law there
will be no such enjoyment for the
murderer in Minnesota. Ho will go
to bed after supper, bo called up in
tho middle of his sleep, and bo hanged
011 an empty stomach.?Chicago

Crop*?When and How to IMant. tllO
In cool climates tlio turnip crop is the
quite an important one, being used ma^
quite extensively for feeding sheep. -\yt
Tho climate of the cotton States does
not suit the turnip sufficiently well to the
wan-ant its being ranked as a staplo Hto;
crop. Other crops, like the sweet to 1
DoJjUto, can be raised more easily and fr?<
profitably for stock feed. Still the
turnip has some value as a succulent
stock food in winter, and contributes
something to the health of stock, *
though not very nutritious. For toble
and for stock it should claim at
least a patch on every farm. *ee'
Success in raising the turnip de- et.
pends very largely on the preparation J
of the land, almost as much as in the Blir<
manure applied. Perhaps no crop p16'
demands finer tilth. It is important, hot
therefore, to begin the preparation of
turnip laud early. It is none too oi
early now to begin. The first thing
is to break tho land thoroughly and 11111
deep. If left all cloddy the roller and 1111.
harrow should follow the plow at
once. After tho next rainfall plow OUl
again across tho first, and follow as rel1
beforo with roller and harrow. If :
one has no roller, "make a drag, by y1"1
nailing lumber 10x2 to two slides fev
olopixl front, nailed on 1X1 1
weatherboard fashion, and drag it eric
over the land. It will grind and pub W11
verize the clods very nicely. About a "

This is a very valuable implement on

rich. Cow-penning is excellent for lor
the purpose, but this practice is bo are
coming less practiced than it used to 1
be. Some stable or lot manure should pos
bo put on the land before the first A
plowing, with a view to getting it yoi
fined and well mixed with the soil. 1
Before the second plowing this should pro
bo supplemented with a heavy dress- at 1
ing of phosphate?say, at the rate of
1,000 pounds per acre. This fertilizer
is peculiarly adapted to the tur- j
nip. Some nitrogen and soma potash t,hu
are needed also, but phosphate is the yea
chief manure it calls for. Not only j
should a liberal dressing of this be ?Ti
given broadcast, but if the seed are ^eo
drilled a little phosphate should be
put in the drill also, to push tho crop {
forward rapidly out of tiie way of the gor

On excessively rich land fine crops WAi
of turnips may be raised by sowing
seed broadcast, but on ordinary land
better results will follow sowing in aB (
drills two to two and a half feet apart,

is, that in our hot, dry climate the 1
turnip should not be sown early? woi
