The season ha beeii very unfavorable inl these re gions where plaintilg is early am it is believed thatt the effort to eur tail the aereagC is having effeet. al over the belt. Now, then is the time for the plant ers to thorongIlly organize. If tihe, will stand( tolvether they canl comm1111ji almost any 'ea"soIable price inl th<4 fall. Out in Texas the m]lild] winier ha been c4indeicive to I f'lotirishinlg crol of holl weevils and 1his pestifero. ilnset has spiead his ravages Ovei iew territory eastward.

Ther( are two farmers' moveient.s in th< South. hoth working for the samt ends. viz.. Sothern Cotton Associa tion, and the Farmers' Union. Therc is neither Cause nor reason for strift or jealously bet ween these two move ments. hut. on tle other hand. thI( members and leadelrs shuld be work illr to4rethier in brotherly unity and harmony.

There is no inhibition so far as we know which prevents you from print ing the petitions as soon as they are filed with the county supervisor, which will be not later than the first of May. These petitions will be pub lie, and any citizen has the right to see them, and as you are runing a iwspper, there is no reason why yoi may not priit them if yoiu so de sire. 'Thiis is simply a suggestiol, whicil is made for tile purpose of disabusiig the mind of any one who may le of the opinion that the peti tions are secret petitions, and not openI to the inspwection oif tle gneral pubhlic. WHAT IS A DEMOCRAT? Question is Worrying the New York Herald-What is a Republican, Also? New York Herald. Thomas Jefferson had a very low opinion of Jeferson (lay dinners.

One' reiison may be that the W'est ives a lreer han111d to women in pub Slie work than does the mere conser vtIive East. In Dnver, the women have had full suffrage for the last 13 years, and -have used their power for the clenning up and beautifying of their city. Chicago has appointed a woianl to superilltelld the street eleaning of its chief business district, and Jane( Addaims and the other heads of ''settlements'' have taught the cildLrenl to lenid a hland, a myriad fit tie active hand-s, to tile crusade 1or elean sireets. No wonder that Jane Addais and almost all the other wo men of the settlements united in the effort to secure mu-n1i1icipal suffra.e for women ill the new City Charter of Chicago. In Kalamazoo. tle cleaning up of the city was broniht about by the efforts of Mrs. Caroline Bartlett Crane and the women's club. Tn New Orleans, the last Constitutional Convention' gave taxpaying women a vote On tax questions, and it was tile women of the Sewerage and Drainaire League who carried the election in favor of improved sewerage and drain age an(1 a pure water supply. Women are the natural housekeep ers, and the more voice they have in the regulation of any efty, the clean er and more beautifuil they will make the streets where their children are to play.
