Have our Alliance friends thought m mis woen mey nemana encaper ran- f oau rreigm r i nese q uestions ootnor U3 This questtoH is one of moment to the agricultural masses of the South All admit that safety in agriculture hinges on two points: replenishing the aoil with proper plant food, and diver ity of crops. The practice of import ing dressed western meats is a menace to our farming interests. Farmers most supplement the growing of cot ton, tobacco and grain with clorer or the grasses. To make this profitable and to secure economical plant food. cattle must be kept, manures saved and the animals converted into cash, when fatted. It stands to reason that if our markets are supplied with dress ea meats at a rate low enough to in- ,duce the butchers to abandon the home reared cattle, that it at once forces the farmers to submit to loss or my com niercial fertilizers, or do some other thing which will lessen his profits and make more expensive the conduct of his farm. We should like to see a sentiment ajdferse to the substitution of western pr home meats. Let those who buy Jeraand fresh meats from adjacent farms and refuse to take the western; jOtherwise western beef, bacon, corn, wheat and hay will root out, certainly, with lower freights, all profit in our agriculture, and force us to cotton and tobacco culture exclusively and there jeouli be no profit in that, if the great tvest foeds the laborer. The Salisbury Watchman, speaking of nie juanuniarw s reierenceato tne concern la Which Senntor Ransom did not draw a prize, says that while this paper does not uiouuon me name or me concern,-' it plays around on the rim of tho crater'1 and the Watchman demands to know Wby the Landmark does not namo the fustitutiou, suggesting that it is "afeard" of the law or else has had bad luck in the monthly drawings. Such intimations, if po uoeious are at least incendiary, and such questions as our venerable contem porary propounds are not only embar rassing but unprofessional. We fall back Upon our constitutional rights and de cline to answer. Landmark, 8inee yon flannt your inherent con stitutional prerogative to the rascue, Ike reference to " libelous intimations " is passed as irrelevant. After mature reflection we are constrained to plead guilty to the incendiary indictment. Indeed, it must be worse; pur accuser hould have said arson. We submit $he case and crave the leniency of the Landmark. In extenuation, we advert te a story once told us by a very bold, bad man. He said, says he, " 1 know t to be a fact, that the boys burn 'em." Says I, "Burn what?" Says he, -J'Why, Greeny, old boy, don't you know?" Says I, " I dout always an swer to that pet name, but," says 1, 44 1 don't know." Says he, k' Why, those little oblong bits of paper, printed with a ground color ofrod, or blue, or cho colate, with bold roman figures and ciphers running long ways and cross ways and on both sides." Say's I, 14 Do tell ! " Says he, " I'm tellin' yon after the generals hold a recep tion in the Academy of Music at New Prleans, each month; the boys compare plates and if they are no good, they burn 'em up." Says I, - You are a wicked gambler." Says he, " Good Asheville is running over with Yan kees, and with Yankee notions, ideas and customs. Asheville is a good point, but give us old Watauga ozone, Watauga landscape aud Watauga wa ter. Taken as a whole, Watauga is THE county in Western North Caro lina for health' and pleasure seekers; no other laudscape seems so attractive, nor s there a more social, congenial and Tetiued elemeut to be found at any re port in the State than those whi an nually grace that magnificent region. But the Yaukees are spending lots ?f money at Asheville, and every-thin" s so stylish, you know.

Wanted, a Geological Surrey. Tiie Oanbury Reporter and Post has an editorial on (he need of a geological survey iu North Carolina, nnd quotes from the Charlotte Chronicle an inter view with Mr. Edison, in which he said: " There are una y persons seeking in vestment, but they do not know the mineral and timber resources of .North I' . vt ? 1.11 I uarouna. mis state anoiini nave a complete geological survey made, es- 1 1 irt.

North Carolina needs white immigration. You cannot get people here without vour offering if i , " rneru sometning uennite; ana you all here do not yourselves know fully, and thoroughly what you' have to offer. M What would such a survey cost?" Queried the reDorter. T ell, said Mr. iLUison, one compe tent geological -surveyor and four or five assistants would be sufficient. It would take that force about five years to complete the State "survey in a satis factory manner. I should think 86,000 a year would cover all expenses. The Reporter and Tost in its com meut says: " The above is the most sensible ar ticle that we have ever seen in print on the subject. There is not a county in Middle or Western North Carolina but would attract capitalists and bring in capital if the natural resources they present were properly shown the world. We have no objection to emigration bureaus, in fact think they are great institutions tor the aouth, but then usefulness is very much curtailed bv not having facts and figures, charts , and maps. We think it raise economy not to spend a few thousand dollars in - - showiug up what we have iu North Carolina, which we have no hesitation in saving is as much favored bv nature as any section tne suu slunes upon, all i mugs consiuereu. tux thousand dollars a venr seems 1 - . like an imniensetmount to some peo ple, but when we consider that in 11 probability it will add one thousand, or two tnousana, or ten thousand per cent, to the wealth at the State, it is hardly to be thought of.

There are four distinguished meu in Washington by the name of Hen derson three members of Congress, David U., of Iowa; John S., of North Caroliua; aud Thomas J., of Illinois. In addition to these there is ex-Senator. J. B. Henderson of Missouri, the pre sent head of the United States delega tion to the international American Conference. The similarity of the names gives rise to some ludicrous mistakes in the distribution of mail. The four gentlemen frequently receive each other's privat correspondence and bill. Ex-Senator Henderson has a beautiful uew mansion at the head of Sixteenth street, on the outskirts of the blty, and back of him is the hut of a negro ushnii.n n imed J. B. lieu derson. He has frequently received this "gem man V letter's, and last week he received a peremptory note, saying: , uMr. Henderson: Come right away and take up our ashes. " He was very angry but he said not a word. He'put the summons back in the envelope,raarked itopenedby mis take" and gave it back to the postman It was returned lo.the office, marked b,u "Jk? uTry D.

Henderson, of me -metropolitan. by the time it reached Henderson No '3 it was very dilapidated look in and had as many makings as a letter to Russia. He entered into the joke, and after reading gave it as his opinion to the postman that T.J.Henderson, on Cap- ITT-ll .1 s m - ltoi mil, was the man wanted, and the letter after a week's traveling, was delivered there. What became of it no one knows, but the ashes still re main in the good housewife's cellar, and the J. B. Henderson for whom the letter was meant lost one job. A dispatch from lianihuror Po fn the Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican ana rrotectiouist, or Monday, says: J he tanners ot Berks County are be coming thoroughly alarmed at the constaut depreciation of farms and farm products, lhe Question is beinv aiscussea in all ot its varied and inter esting phases and many possible and impossible remedies for relief are sug gested. It is stated that farm values have fallen to one-half their former value, while the assessments and rates of taxation remain practically un changed. "Wheat is selling at' 70 to 82 cents: rve 45 cents: corn 35 cents. and nearly thirty yeais the It-publi cans have been telling the farmers of the country that if tliev would :illow themselves to be taxed for the benefit of the manufacturers they would ul timately became wealhtv.

The New York Tribune said: "The banks can, in a single days notice, act together so that no act of Congress can resist their decision. The corporations and monopolies are controlling the city press, the State legislatures, Congress and the courts. The farmers will have to wake up or they will be impoverished by the band ed monopolies. The farmers need to study finance, banking, taxation and politics. These are the matters that concern them most.

(From our regular correspondent.) Washington, March 17, 1890. Ex-Speaker Carlisle statement showing that the appropriations con templated by the republican majority would leave a deficiency in the Treas ury has canned Mr. Cannon chairman of the House Appropriation commit tee to make a statement which he calls an answer to Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Can uons estimate leaves out a number of appropriations that republicans gener ally have pledged their party to make. Time will tell which statement is cor rect. For the sake of the country Mr. Carlisle would object to having Mr. Cannon prove lo be right. Poor Mr. Harrison, he is indeed to be pitied when even Jay Hubbell can come to Washington and abuoe him through the medium of a newspaper interview. It is a mistake to suppose that the Oklahoma brti which passed the House last week opened tlie Cherokee strip to settlement, and Mr. Harrison has is sued a- proclamation of warning to people intending to settle thereon. A resolution passed by the house calls on the-Secretary of War for in formation as to the money ami facili ties he has for rendering aid to tlie hooded Mississippi river. The Worlds Fair bill has been per fected according to the ideas of the Chicago folks and it will probably come up in the House this week. Nothing has been agreed upon as to date.

Senator Eustis convicted Senator Hoar of making a wilful mistatement on the floor of the Senate last week, but that will not prevent the Massa chusetts Senators doing the same thing again whenever it may happen to serve his purpose.
