"i ~ ~ ~ 8 L.YDNA,. i 14 Wu Publish in thts Jes,p a interost lug article from a Wisfasslppi paper on the now 'amous Ag iputural Qpios of that itate. T e ai tole N iery plain and outspoken, 4.bbleg, the in stitutin "ouIr Pet humbug." In view of the faat that it' was oalled forth by I the.agitatioufor an Agricultural Col. lege in this State, it might be well to read it. That Craslaaflw SQI. 1 The bill to reform the etimial law I has passed its third reading in the I House and will probably pass the I Senate. Among other provisions it amends the law of peremptory challenges .so that In capital cases the accused Is allowed only ten challenges and the State is allowed five. a It would puzzlo oven a legislative brain to assign any reason for. this change. Thare is entirely too much tinkering with the law in this genera tion. -.Mankind have brought the law of twenty peremptory challenges from a day that may almost be said to ante date written history, and somehow or other the civilization which has grown tip through the lapse of centuries has managed to live with this right in the hands of parties accused of crime. What change Is it that has come over human nature Which necessitates an abridgement of this ri ht? A Chee tereiOaeer. Mr. Jones, the late Sonator from Florida, began life a carpenter; he worked side by side with slaves; he started at the bottom of the ladder. Slop by step, however, ho climbed up wards; without . adventitious aid he rose from the work-bench to the bar, to the Legislature, to the Senate of the nation. In the Senate this self-taught car penter was a prince among Senators; he was reckoned a skillful debater and aln able constitutional lawyer in a t body that had a Garland, a Conkling t and an EdmundF. All at once, and without an appa rent cause. Mr. Jones, a few years 1 ago, left the Senate, the scene of his t . most splendid triumphs, and took up * lise abode in Deti'olt. HIe refused either to attend the Senate or to resign; his term of ofilce at last expired, and the ) Florida Legislature dieoted Mr. Pasco to succeed himi. He is still in Detroit, an outcast and a beggar-a il in~g monmn.ont to tin certain fJist~so ife._ is_sai The world will pity Ma. Jones; his rIse wvhioh was almost unprecedented I Is equaled only by his fall, Bunt, not withstanding that fall, the solid achievements of the carpenter boy, f who boat his way to fame, ill entitle I: him to a place in the gallery of lia- a tory as one of' America's most illus trious men.^ The WVoot-(Growr. The world is fail of men who are i willing and anxious to live on the c unpaid labor of othier men, who exact E at all times every advantage that some infamous law may give them. 84-I loek is a typical human being. The ti wool- growers of the west are singing j the praises of a proteelve tariff They ( want to continue to rob the tiinig I millions of other section,s. It is said that "President CkIeis message has caused wideagraad dis e satisf-ction in Texa. The min Iis dustry of Westeru Teras fa woxoi m, lng, and those who have fl)ir me@us invested in It deeathes P,aideud kn delivered them into st hsaA; of t Philistines, and will take step; to form ' a national organization to combat the removal of the duty on wool," c To read tlis virtuous howl one t would almost think that these barba- r rians on the prairies had a real grIev anice. If there is any human nature lI in the devil ho must have felt very 11 indignant when ho was hurled out of t1 heaven. And here is the way that the Ohio ~ sheep in Congress blato about the a me0ssage:i .a Mr. Forani, of Ohio, (Demi.) said: "1 am not in sympathy with the views expressed by the President in his mes- d sage. My district is a manufacturing E district. I propose to stand by the' 0 people whom I represent to the dxtent C of my ability. I propose to perform E - my (duties honestly andi fearlessly as I * understand them. I cannot be stamped, 1 coerced or driven--oven by the Presi 0 dent of the United States." Mir. Willtins1 of Ohio (Dem.) said he heard the message. Heo had heard '9 other messages, too, from the ime * source,g.and one In particular o'th silver question which met with just about as inuch ers eet- as this one, 'would on the gRJ1E. Ohio is not in c favor of taking tha tariff off' wool, and il it will bie very stfinge indeed i'f the I - Democrats from Ohio In this Congress " support any measure. which embodies "~ ainterference with the wool industry. What hope can there bp for the final r prosperity of a country Whose destiny f is committed e*en temyorai'lly to' the ii keeping of uch cattle 'as these? " Bluekien's Atea Salve.

Missis ippi "Tombstone .Industry," which i ix years' operations and after ex pending.$835,000 turps out two solen iflc farmers having faith enough in heir theoretical education to attempt o put it to practical utility. Our 8chool has now entered it sighth yearj has supported in elegance uxury and ease since its opening i mall army of well dressed and highly mltured pebple, (most-of whom novei vried farm ing as a businese, and no )nO of whom.over made a success as i armor,) has expended of the peoplo'e nonoy about $400,000, and we defy itt )flicors to name ten of its graduatoe Nho are to-day engaged in practica igriculture. Ton rich counties in the State fur ish more than half the attendance twenty-one counties have no represen tatlon at all at the college, and the issessnent rolls of Oktibboba count, ;how that the property valuation as I whole has not increased in the imme hate vicinity of the Agricultural and Dechanical College as it has in othoi portions of the State. We assert, and lofy successful contradiction that the ax rolls show, ' that the land of c nembor of" the Board of Trustee ving adjacent to the college farm hae lepreciated in value 26 por cent. slnct lie establishment of the college Ir ight of his home. We have had some rich experience tlso, with' our mutnifloently paid 'aculty, who devote a good portion o hor time traveling arotlnd over the 3tate, holding farmers' institutes (y mud keeping th.peoplo impressed witi be wondernul work they are. doing nd the great necessity for further anc igger appropriations, and this too vhilo their places are filled by 'subs celtei'ally under graduates of the col ages, who are also paid ont'of -the tato Treasury. - Wo illustrate: Our. Professor of Lgriculturn whose last roprt sh1ow0 e expends $12,000 in farm operatloni ,nd gets back $7,000'worth *of pro luots, 'straddles the hobby: "Oum orn out lands and how to reclai hem," and lhe gravely tells our farm oss, rotate and diversify crops, and ur lands," he says, will bloom and lossom as the rose." And for this kind of advice our' pro neeras are expected to pay himr -$2,000 or annum and Atrn ih him a nico ouse to live in, and at the same tIme ay his assistants $600 or $800 to ttend to the duties of his department the lecture room and on the college arm. Bahi The advice and experience of one Lich farmer as Dixon, or GeorgIa, is f more value to agriculture than all 1e college faculties in America, unless thers are endowed with more practi ability than ours have ever displayed. lurs are wonderful theorists, 'but ractical in nothing except in lobby. ag big appropriations out of the reasury.
