that more than four-fifths of the

The Boston Cultivator ays: "War
and agriculture are naturally antagonistic.
There is a reason for this, especially since
gunpowder came into vogue as the great
destrustive war agency. Nitrates are an
important constituent of gunpowder.
Even the smokeless powders coutaia
them. Nitrates are the most important
element of plant fool. Think how innny
crops have grown poorly while war has
been wasting in useless smoke the material
through which they would have^bocome

There are 250,000 women in New

wages may bo offered or starve, or fall.
There are trained se.ving women who
work nineteen hours a day for twentyfive

The Governor said that sometimes ai
oatli slipped out, but that it had done si
only on one occnsiou during the cam
paign. He appealed to the ladies pres
out to siguify if in their opinion the;
considered him a blackguard, bu
there was no response from them,
I'he Governor then said that Orr or an;

Col. Orr advanced to the Governor am

The Geveruor said 60 he had, and Or
replied that He did not do himself credit
when He made you. He again caugh
hold of the Governor and asked him i
he meant to intimate that he was a liar
The Governor said that if Orr did nol

By this time the crowd had become i

hold of Tillman, who had turned hit

Dull Time Figure*.
Rirhard H. Edmonds, of Baltimore,
gives in the August, number of the Forum
some account of the present resources and
recent progress of the South. The reco
d is one which every Southerner will
read with pride and every other American
should rejoice iu. We can take only
a few of the most striking passages "in
that record. The South produced 535,012.000
bushels of corn in 1891, a gaii
ot about 75 per cent, over the productior
in 1881. The gain in cotton productior
was about the same, from 5,456,000 balef
in 1881 to nearly 9,000,000 bales las'
year. The gaiu in railroads is even mor<
remarkable. Ten years ago the Bout!
had 23,000 miles of railroad; now it hai
about 45,000, a gain of nearly 90 pei
cent , and the increase in the number o
passengers and the amount of freight car
ried has been enormous. Between 23,
000,000 and 24,000,000 tons of coal wen
mined in the South in 1891, only abou
9,000,00') in 1881. The value of export:
from Southern ports has increased from
$257,535,401 to $349,801,099, a gain ol
30 per cent., which is nearly five times
the gain made at the other ports of th<
United Stntes. The Southern output oi
iron is nearly 325 per cent, greater that
in 1881. The^ain in manufacturing anc
banking and a. branches of business hai
been grea* .The assessed value o;
property is m. n two billions greater
than in 1881.
Growing Cotton in Connecticut.
Pi'tnam, Conn. ? David .Tohnson, i
spruce old colored man of Pomfret street
who was on a big Southern plantatioi
"befo1 de wah," is teaching hi6 neigh
bors that cotton may be grown iu Con
necticut as successfully as "way dowi
South in Dixie." David is gardener fo
Benjamin Grosvenor and has a little furii
of his own at Pomfret Street. He ha<
been trying vainly for several years t
make people believe his cotton theory
and tlrs yeai has verified it by giowiui
cotton on his farm. His crop is a smal
one, but it looks splendid. JohDson
who tended thousands of acres of cottoi
in the South, says that his Pomfret Stree
plants ine quite as luxuriant and promia
ing as any that are raised in Dixie. Hi

' the people of Kansas favored fourteen
' years ago, namely, United States notes,

t whatever it may be, should not l?e redeemable
ia anything. It ought to go
? out to the people as money, fullfledged,
- ready for duty, without any weight or
impediment or conditions of auy sort,
1 what ver. What we use as money should
i be absolutely free from all conditions, so
I that there could be no "runs" on banks
1 in time of stringency, and no panics ber
cause debtors arc unable to obtain lffal1
tender money. I believe that the time
t has come to nationalize our money. We
took on<* long step in that direction when
1 we adopted our national banking sys
tern. We taxed State bank notes out of
existence, substituted a national currency
r for a purely local currency; and it was
- only a short time after embarking in this
t new enterpiise until jse discovered that
f the bankers of the count*-" wcr* masters
of the financial situation. We find that
t instead of serving the people they served
> themselves. In 1882 there were $358,030,000
of bauk notes ciiculrttiou Since
t tin*' time about $24') .0 0,000 of it has
s been retired, not because the people did

s banks realized a profit from the sale of
> their bond at premium, the bonds that
I tbey had deposited as security for circu
lation. Our experience and that of other
nations has been that banking corporat
tions arc private schemes for nrollt to indi.

I taught us that there is only one safe way

s States notes, or Treasury notes, if you
choose, for uatioual bunk notes as they
are being retired, but I would substitute
that sort of money fora'l bank issues;
aud I would do even more than that; I
would not make money out of a promise
to pay; that is to say, "I would not wiite
out a promise to pay money and call that
promise money; but I would use a piece
of paper ju9t as we are now using a piece
of gold or a piece of silver, and make
that money, providing in the law what
its functions shall be. That puts the
influence, the credit, and the power of
all the people behind the money. Then
we will have gold and silver and paper
. at par, one with the other; and that, if
^ we will reduce rates of interest down to
the level of profit on labor, so that men
j can make as much money farming or
s blscksmithing or carpentering as they

The race between Hogg and Clark for
tho Democratic nomination for Governor
of Texas is very hot. Gov. Hogg
is a little ahead; but he is not likely to
get the necessary two-thirds of the 945
delegates. Possibly there may be a dead
lock, to be broken only by the nomination
of a third man.
This vear's Presidential canvass is, in
point of activity, much behind tho record
of previous yeats, on the democratic us
well as on the Republican side. 1 l>o
leaders of both parties aro slow in beginning
the real work of the campaign. The
same condition of things is reported i::
other States.
It is against the traditions of the Ko
publican pkfty to renominate Vice Pres.
ideate. "The old ticket" is a cry which
hsi no stt sctien for the Republicans.
Lincoln and Hamlin was .a winning ticket
in 1800, but when President Lincoln was
renominated in 1894, Hamlin was left
off. Grant and Colfax was the wiuning
ticket in 1808, but when President Grant
rr no cuuiuhmhch linn j cn? n laioi , v"i*
fa* was left off of the ticket. Harrison
and Moiton whs a winning ticket in 1888,
but after President Harrison was renominated
in Minneapolis, Morton was left
off. The Republicans found Harrison to
be strong with the interest for which Mr.
Morton stood four years ago,and hence the
renominatiou of the latter was not thought
essential. The only Democrat in recent
Sears to be icuominatcd for Vice-Pratient
was Thomas A. Hendricks, who ran

A prominent Liberal said that Mr.

certain appointments which will
M- sure to cause a sensation. Ho has
long felt it unfair that Englishmen should
t'vorb all the offices, and he would pre. I
to have representatives of all parts of
the kindom in the Ministry. He has,
therefore, according to the informant,
derided to apportion a few offices to the
Irish leaders.
Arthur O'Conuor will be offered a post

Sexton will receive the appointment of
