The welfare of this great ! nation depends upon the pro ducts produced by the farm er's labor. It does not seem worth, the while" for the reform Repub licans of Pennsylvania to make a fight on Quay if they are going to take up John Wannamaker. It becomes more and more apparent as the years roll by that the salvation of the far mers is diversified crops. But there should be some organi zation by which markets could be had for their pro duce 9 It is difficult to overstate the damage done the South by its own newspapers, or rather by some of them, in the persistency with which everything detrimental to the good name of this section is heralded abroad. It has sometimes looked as though there was a great conspiracy with wide ramifications bent on exaggerating every vent calculated to reflect on the business, the moral or the social interests of the South. Matters of local concern, which, if they happened in the North or West would never be heard of ten miles frdm where they occurred, are telegraphed to every part of the country. A crossroads fight of a few drunken row: dies is thought to be of such interest as to justify its being telegraphed all over creation. In other sections no one would ever think of sending such an item to outside papers, and the local papers would give it but seant notice. In the West the failure of some once-promising scheme is never heard of. beyond the narrow confines of those di rectly interested. The press and the people there are too busy seeking to advance the material interests of their section, and even if they were noi, they are too wise to herald to the world with a jyreat flourish every infringe ment of the law of every business failure.

A Negro Ql I Set Fir to Charlie Bernhardt1 Home Taken and Locked Up. Captain Pace and Officer Eagle succeeded Monday af ternoon in unravelling the mystery surrounding the de struction by ftre of Charles Bernhardt' home last Satur day night. The general opin ion at first was that the fire had originated from jwithfn the house by a falling coal. Mess. Pace and Eagle went to work on a different line, how ever, and Monday arrested Mary Alexander, a negro girl about sixteen years old, charged with burning the house. The clue that led the offi- cers to become convinced of the girl's guilt was that a number of articles of apparel belonging to Bernhardt's daughter were found in the Alexander girl's possession. It is reasoned that she stole the articles while Bernhardt and his daughter were away from home and set fire to the building to cover up her guilt. The girl was locked up and her trial set for twTo o'clock Tuesday afternoon before Mayor Linn. Promptly at the appointed time the amazon damsel was carried before Mayor Linn for trial. Charles Bern hart, Dora Bernhart, Isom Davis, Sandy Montgomery, John Neil, John Washington and Nora Lord testified and Mayor Linn, deeming it justi fiable, committed the girl to jail without bail.
