DOINGS OF THE CilvNKU A I, ASSEMBLY. IMPOliTANTMKABURB8 DDHA'I Kit What the Iijiw-MakerH rtre I'rrpar inK for the People?A Humy seuNioii in Prospect* The following summary of logisla tlvo action since our b\st Issue will bo found interesting i H1IUNU CONVICTS TO COUNTIES Mr. Laban Mauldln's bill to prohi bit convicts from belog loaie'J for work on private farms created a long dtsousslon. Mr. Mauldlu claimed that the pres ent law puts convict labor lu com petition with honest and free labor, lie cited instances where men employ- | lug cor.victs were taking conti acts lor grading streets aud making brick w ith convict labor, while honest laborers | were out of employment Hid ice, Coi > utS no* been let to private farm er, they could not have been avail- , able for this contract work. Lie was opposed to convlots being hired for any purpose. Our roads need improve mi nt. We have thousands of s ? a of swamp lands which may be reclaim ed. There are Duiubers of ways In which convicts can be employed with OUt coming into competition with free labor. Dr. Woods defended the bill along the same lines as Mr. Mauldin. Mr. Jeremiah Smith asked if this would not bo discrimination against farmers, as railroads and Othi r enter prises could employ convicts, not being excluded in the 1)111. Mr. 0. B, Robinson stated that he proposed tOOlTl r an amendm nt to rem edy that discrimination. Mr. Prino1 |*t>ked if it were discrimi nation (or the State to have her own farms. Mr. Mauldin replied that it was, but ho couldn'tIncoiporate that in his bill, as tho Slate has this properly aud can not easily get rid of it at once. Mr. Prince continued that be favored a measure giving preference to those counties which propose to Utilize con vict labor on public roads ; but lu dood not think it would be wise to contino tho directors to such lessees, as all of tho convlots i.dght not be contracted for, and the others would be In the penitentiary at an expense. ilo favored leasing convicts to privato parlies to relieve tho penitentiary of a congestion of population, as this has boon a source of revenue to tho State. Contracts now in force cannot bo in terfered with under tho constitution. Mr. C. E, Robinson said that a meas ure would be introduced to work con victs on the publl: highways. Tho author of tho bill w? uld accept an amendment to provide that no con tracts now in force be Interfered with. The house by a vote of US to 01 re fused to strike out tho enacting words. Mr. M. 13. Woodward ollerod an amendment tt.at convicts could bo em ployed by couutics at the rato of 15 cents each per day for the purpose of building roads and highways. Mr. Sawyer offered an amend ment designed to prevent tho hiring of convlots to any private concerns whatever. Mr. Wo od ward stated that he was in favor of leasing convicts to farmers as well as to any other person or cor poration, but be thought it wise to hiro the convicts to counties for tho public roads. Tho need of good roads Is a pressing one, and the counties should be given an opportulty to hire convicts from tho State penitentiary to work tho roads. Mr. Stevenson, chairman of the lato penitentiary investigating committee, said ttiat he had been through the af fairs of the penitentiary pretty thor oughly, and ho was quite sure that If tho hiring of convicts to privato parties were prohibited there would be a deficit in the Slate treasury. If the counties aro allowed to tako tho con victs without competition they can dictate tho price, but if countios must compete with private parties in ac quiring convict labor, then there will be revenue coming into the State. The State now nets $.*>(> annually over and nbove the expense upon each convict hired OUt. He differed with Mr. Wood ward on the price to be paid for con vict labor. Mr. J. VV. Ragsdale commended tho present penitentiary administration and thought that while the cor.victs should be worked on the highways, It would be inexpedient to chango tho method now in operation. Dr. Wycho agreed with Mr. Wood ward. County roads first and then surplus convicts to bo hired to privato parties. Mr. Ilydriek favored legislation which would send convicts back to tho counties to work thj roads and Im prove tho health and upbuild tho pro sperltp of the community. U-j wanted tho bill to provide for convicts to clean out streams and lowlands. Tho presentation of bo many amend ments began to get the measure con fusc*d, and Mr. i'rinco moved to re commit tho bill In order that the bill bo gotten,iuto tangible and intelligible shapo. This was opposed by Mr. Woodward, and the house refused to recommit by a tie vote. Mr. Bydriok'samendment to provido that counties hiring convicts might uso their for cleaning out streams was killed, as woll as his amendment to apportion tho number equitably among the counties. Mr. Stevenson's substituto was then taken up for discussion. Mr. Woodward opposed it as net fix ing a delinito price for tho hiro ol con victs by counties. Mr. Stevenson showed that tho State, Is now getting $50 a year for each con vict, much In excess of what tho ro venuo would be at ID cents a day, or $10.80 a year. Hotter not havo a fixed price If it would entail a depreciation in revenue. Mr. Woodward claimed that tho counties deserved to hiro convicts cheaper than individuals. The public roads aro groat civilizars, and tho State can afford ?to hiro convicts to counties at a i educed price for this great work. Mr. 1'rince wanted to adjourn dobato to another day, as tho matter was so ?"^rnifuscd : but the house refused to do so. Dr. Wycho agreed with Mr. Wood ward that Mio counties aro a part of tho Ststo and good roads do?crvo much consideration at tho hands of tho State. Mr. Cantt opposed Mr. Stevenson's substitute as defeating tho original ob jects oPMr. Mauldln's bill. Mr. Williams thought that tho poor counties of the Stato would be paying for building roads for moro fortunate counties, as tho penitentiary funds would fall behind If tho hiro wore fo bo at a low rate, and a direct appro prlatlon would bo necessary to rur. ti e penitentiary. Mr. StevenBon and Mr. Woodwa'd agreed upon a BOhedtllo of char(fos and submitted an amendment to tbke tho placo of Mr. Mauldin*i original bill. This amendment was adopted by a vote Of to 12, and tho bill passed a second reading, as follows : Tho board of directors of the peni tentiary aro hcrebyl authorized and ompowored to leaso or hire out any convicts in tho penitentiary,' except convicts under sontenco for murdor, rape, arson and manslaughter, undor tho following rules, and regulations, and restriction, with all others in posed by tho said hoard : That tho said board of directors shall mako an annual roport to tho general assembly at tho regular sessions, showing tho number and names of convicts hired out, to whom hind, for what purpose, and for what consideration, and tho board of directors are authorized to retain for the uso of tho penitentiary all amounts rccoived by them from the hire of labor of convlctu during the current fiscal year; Provided, That the preforenco shall be given to ooun O 1 Ml Sufferers From DROPSY.

UIENNIAL. SESSIONS WIN Mr. Efird called up his joint resolu tion to make the sessions of the Gen eral Assembly biennial. Tho time of the General Assembly, ho said, is taken up amending and repealing statutes. Tho statutes of a general nature arc jumbled up and tho laws affeotlng the several counties are at variance. There aro only seven or eight States which have annual sessions of tho General Assembly. Ju-t as much could bo accomplished iu biennial sessions. The Legislators are pledgeu uo economy, aud toe people should bo given a chance to say wheth er they want tho Legislature to meet every year or eveiy two years. Tho bill merely provides for au election on ' the question of an amendment to the ! Constitution. Mr. Peurlfoj said ho was a member of the llouso 'in 1880, 1887, 1888 and 1880. The resolution, ho sad, was nothing new. tie said at that time that if the House did not, meet in five years it would bo better. Formerly tho House met Iftte in November and adjourned before Christmas, but you Kef Or m Legislators meet and remain in s--bsion forty days, and there is no more dons. Hiennial sessions are wanted. Mr. Wolfo said that nine-tenths of his constituents favored biennial ses sions. There was now too much legis lation. The Stato is Dot rich enough to pay for laws of no value. Tho tax payers aro overburdened. There is a public domand for the measure. Mr. LJacot said that since 1701 down to the present time tho bill of rights has provided for the General Assembly to meet frequently. He thought it healthy for the 'awmakers to meet fre quently. It ib the result of tho wisdom of ages. After further discusdon u yea and nay vote was ordered, which resulted 8,'l to 22 in favor of tho resolution. The advocates of biennial sessions won a decided victory ; thoso voting for tho rosoiutlon were Messrs Ashley, Hates, Holl, Hlack, Hlease, Holts, Hrantley, Browning, Caughman, Col cock, Davis, ? ;ndy, Dowllng, Dukes, Kurd, Eppa, Estridgo 11. ft, Evans, Palrey.

Thoro was somo contention about ex cusing Mr. Weston from voting, but ho was finally excused. Mr. McCullough was paired. Mr. R >gors and Mr. Prlnco said that If they had boon In tho hall they would have voted yea. The 8.1 votes adopted tho resolution and by the bare "skin of a vote" tho House adopted tho resolution sub mitting tho question of hlonnial ses sions to tho people for a constitutional amendment. Undor the constitution It took the eighty throe votes to order the vote on tho constitutional question, and tho resolution now goes to tho Sjnato, having passed tho third reading in the House.

Montana Politician Who is .VI leged to Have Bought ills Hr-nt in the United SUteBSonate. Tho Senate committee on elections has resumed consideration of tho case of Senator Clark, ol Montana, who is charged with having bought his way Into tho United States Senat?. The facts that have been given the public iuJicute either the mo:*t open bribery of the Montana L. igislaturo, or else the hold st game of hlutr that has ever been p ayed in a political ,!ght. It seems ihata lawyer of Hatto, Mon tana, nameu Wellcome was the man ager of Clark's oampalgn in the Mon tana legislature. State S junior White side, of Montana, convinced that Well oomo was a Ciu< k lobbyist, and present for the purpose of Improperly obtain ing votes, set about ijurratiatitig bim st If in iiis corlidenceT He succeeded, and ere long had promised Iii? vote, to Ulark and agreed for $10.000 to aid W'ollcome. in securing certain Other votes. Whltei'lde thereupon took into his conti lencj two ottier members of tlit) Senate, Informing them of the gamo he was playiiur anains*. Well cume. II ; pot these two 0 maters to agree a ?o to *;ivo their vo}os to Clark .'or $1(1 (luO ach. Wellcnm" 1 to deposit the 820 U00 for the two voles in the bands ol Whlteslde as stakeholder, too mouey net to he paid OVwr until the votes were delivered, A mom bar of the House Was also fount! who agreed to vote for Clark for ^.OOO. aud this sum was al.-o placed in Whlteslde'd tiands as stakeholder. When White side had Ii st agreed to co-operate with Wellcome for $10,000 lie had re ceived $ri,0t<0 on account. Tuis, with the other sums whioh he hehl as stake holder, aggregated $:io,ooo. It was at Hos stasra of the game that Whlteslde thoug .t everything was reaily for his coup before tho Legisla ture, aud so he arose in hid place, re cited t'io laets which hav._> alroady uoen given, doneunced Wellcome as the tiuancial agent of Clark, and as evidence of the truth of Iiis story, sent up $;io,ooo In cash to the president of the S.r.ate. A tremendous sensation fol lowed. Hut f Whiteside's story is true Clark'd agent had already fixed a ma jority of the h.>jy ind they were oblig ed to rt.un: logethor. A.- soon ad the rirst bI.o :k of Whitslde's disclosure was rallied from, the Clark contingent in the Senate turned tue utlacK upon Whiteside, declaring that this $30,000 bad not been received from the agent of Clark, but it had been furnished by Marcus Daly, the copper king - a . o was a bitter opponent of Clark?for the purpose of making this grandstand play before tho Senato in the hope of eliminating dark from the Senatorial ratio. Tnoy then proceeded to convict Whitedido of falsehood and ( xpullcd htm from the hotly, leaving Clark mas ter of tho situation aud proceeding with hii election to the United States Senate. Though stunned by tho miscarriage of his tight in tho Senate, Wtuteuido did not tamely submit to i h ? result reached in that body, but carried the ca.e, into the courts in a motion to dis bar Wellcomo from practice. This opened the whole case anil all tho tes timony which had boon rej ;cted in the Sonate was brought out iu full before tho Supreme C >urt, and Whiteside. wad sustained und Wellcomo disbarred. The opponents of Clark have car ried the tight against him into the United States benato, und testimony is how being tuken boforo tho cornmil too on privileges and elections. It is ono of tho most remarkable cases which hove over como before tho pub lic, and If the facts charged by Wnite aido and sustained by tho Supremo Court of Montana ate satisfactorily proven boforo tho United Statt8 Sen ate, they should not hositato to expel Senator Clurk from that body. ?The claim is often made for Omaha that it is exactly in the center of the United Stale*.

COTTON A SURPLUS CROP. Kditor llomo and Farm . The advance in tl'C price of v n will CAU6C an iuorease in cotton a. re ge for liic coming year. Many Inrim-is will plant ou Hie "all cotton" plan next bpring, thinking that they \\? i ^ct 8 cents per pound for tl eirCOtt1 M in St fall and neglect their food crops. Just suppose a crop of 12,000,000 bale's next tall, how nun ii would a lui in er receive for his crop ? Some itrnuo thai it 12,000,000 baa s are made ni \l year the price to be paid will he not i less lhau 8 coins, 'l in y Liy to make themselves believe ii. ii the faetorit are In hind.' Thl'J ii)uy be true, but il a fai nu r should neglect to raise any hogs and \leauuts, what wi i h> do lor incut if for any reason cotton should he chcup ? And if lie neglects Iiis caito cmp and other- , hUell as pC is, lie- , po tatoes, etc., lie vniII i>>- i.unip.iriuivuly , left. Kvcu it coiiou shoui? ie worth 10 cents next lall it hhould be a sur plus crop. A l.uiuoi should ..cv_r buy any coin, and always have a f< w lu n dree pounds of meat to sell. Some think hog1; re too much trouble to raise, and that thoy can make cotton ' and buy their meat cheaper than they can raise hogs. This is a mistake. A person can have n pasture convenient to the house and raise bogs almost on what would otherwise be thrown away. Then hogs kept in a pasture are not subject to cholera as when let to tun out on the range. An} farmer can fence a few acres off and have a Spanish peanut patch. My so doing he can turn his hogs in on thein in August, and his hogs will be nearly ready for the butcher by the time his corn is gathered, and more thai: tln.t, hogs will fatten better in warm weather than in co il. Then to have meat to sell, you car pay for work being done on tbc farm (if you cannot do it all yourself), and never miss it. Why, it looks foolish to buy meat when it can be produced at home so easily. 1 had hogs this year weighing lrotn 150 to 170 pounds, and they were not twelve months old. They had never eaten much corn. They were raised on slops principally, and in July 1 be gan giving them small watermelons that were raised in my Spanish peanut patch, and by the middle of August they were doing fairly well, when i put them on the peanuts. A pig, in or der to thrive, should never get "stunt ed." A few peas boiled, once a day, is just spiendid for pigs. I know fanners who raise cotton in plenty?a large crop?and boast of their splendid farming, and after the truth is known they have their corn to buy, meat to buy, make no cane do potatoes, and have no garden, and, in faot| nothing but cotton. Well, 1 can't see anything great in this. A farmer can never prosper under such o.unlit ions. In summer I like to visit a Community and ?nd at the dinner table plenty of beans, peas, Irish pota toes; in fact, vegetables of every description, and thenliud ou hand watermelons, etc. In the fall I want to see barns groaning with corn, peas, etc., while in smokehouses I want to sec meat hanging from each cud. Think of old times?times just after the war?when cotton was scarce and times were good. Cotton has been the farmer's ruin. It lias made many of our boys leave the farms and seek positions in the city. A tanner can he the most independent man on earth it he will only try. There have been more than fifty cotton mills opened up in the past twelve mouths iu the South. There are more people to use cotton, and there are more usages for cotton than have been, but is that any reason why a farmer Should make more ? Why lie should work all his life and then die in poverty ? Why, no. Make such as you will consume and let cotton he a surplus crop. Did you ever see a farm er get rich by raising cotton ? A few, but "they are few and far between." It < ne will keep out of debt and make what he needs for home consumption, ho can be contented to live on the farm. Timothy. ? -??? ? ? Cold lias been found in SoJth Africa since lime immemorial, and Moshona land is popularly supposed to he the Land of Ophir mentioned in the Bible.

Clouds that move in a contrary di rection to that of the surface current indicate a change of weather, because they prove tho existence of iwei air currents, one warm and the other cold, and the mingling of these frequently causes rain. The San Martin (Mex.) cotton fac tory, located near the town of that name, has been completed and is now iu operation. It employs about !100 operatives aud will soon give work to 200 more. Just out of reach, Is where every man would like to be when danger threatened him. Disease is more dangerous than any wild beast. To be just oot of reach of disease, is safer than to engage it in a death struggle with doubtful results. The secret of keep ing j ist out of reach of disease is in keeping the blood pure and rich. Pure blood offers no breeding ground for disease germs. Rich blood creates a vigorous vital force to resist dis ease. This ideal condition of the blood is best obtained by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. In thou sands of cases where there has been ob stinate cough, bronchitis, spitting of blood, weakness or other ailments which if neglected lead on to consumption, "Golden Medical Discovery" has healed the disease and put the life just out of reach of the destroyer. There is no alcohol or other' intoxicant contained in " Golden Medical Dis covery." "After using obout five hot tits <if Or Pierces Oolden Medical Discovery my t>oy seems to 1* nil right," writes Mr. J. W. Price, of Oinrk, Mon roe IN>., Ohio. " He was very bad when I commenced to give him the 'Oolden Medical 7>ls covery.' The doctors claimed he hnd consumption and we doctored with them until he was past walking U has been ten months since he stopped takinK your medicine and he is still iu good health.

The farmer who baa fooled away the line wealhcr of December am. spe.it his lime :d tin- stores, will have some idle (la) s when the barvi si comes, lie who hustles around ami hauled in pine needles and piled tip heaps of j immure In December and January,and prepares bis land when the weather will admit, will have to hire help to gather his crops. The tanner who tramps around with a gun and a tlop-c.ucd dog all the pretty days of winter, or visits the swapping ground about three days in Ihe week, and lets his wife and children rake up brush to keep I he IM warin and do the. cooking is the meanest man in the neighborhood.

Break in January with two strong horses. Hun the cutaway barr Av or a better one if you know such, over the land alter a hard freeze and thaw. Harrow again just before planting time. lleduce your col ton acreage, but make up by thorough preparation, heavier fertilizing and better cultiva tion.
