He is as utrong onthaji sub ject of complaint as tho most uncom promising Republican Senator, only he dwells upon tho fact that he is prepared to settle all differences and to get rid of all causes of complaint by a reasonable diplomatic arrange ment. The arrangement the Senate would not have, and, : therefore, nothing remains for him but to ask f orj necessary powers 'to enable! him to carry out his polioy of (vigorous retaliation. - j I London -Daily Chronicle ! The message is obviously intended to show the American people what is the logical position in which j the country has been plaoed by the ill advised and unpatriotic action of she Republican .majority in the Senate. it is what should logically touow trie rejection of the treaty. London Daily Times The remarkable and unexpected message addressed by i rresldenc Cleveland to the United States Con gress on differences which exist be tween the American Republid and the Dominion of Canada on the fish eries question has come quickly to confirm the conclusion that the re jection of the treaty was a grave in ternational calamity. What makes the tone of the message all the more remarkable is that Cleveland does not give himself the smallest trouble to conceal or dissemble the fact that it was the United States Senate and not the Government of the Dominion of Canada which rejected the result of his diplomatic efforts. He Bven goes so far in the way of Candor as to express- an opinion that it wa3 evidently the intention of the Senate that no negotiations on the subject should at present be concluded in any! case. Tonne Virginian' Distinction. "Richmond State. The City of New York brought back to America a young' Virgioian of whom we may well - feel proud, Dayid Watson Taylor, of the Green Springs, Louisa county, Va., gradua ted at the United States nival acad emy, AnnaDolis, in the summer of 1885, marly points higher record ever made before than at any that school. . He was appointed to the scholarship at the English naval lege at Green wiob, given by col the British government to the best grad uate of the United States naval acad emy. Each year. since he has taken a higher stand at his examination than any student at Greenwich, I and this; summer completed the! course and graduated seven points higher than the standard required for the first grade, and was the only student in his class who obtained the! first grade. His graduating mark was this next to the highest ever made at world renowned school. .in DOCKERT AT THE WEST DEPTH. Col. W. L.

It is a shameful case indeed j but we must make up oar minds what to say about it, for it is just the! case now before us, as Oliver H. Dooke ry, Radical candidate for Governor, is the slanderer, and Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the President of the United states, is the slandered woman;. It matters not, however, whether the slandered woman be the wife of t.hn President or the wife of the humblest Citizen in the land, provided only she is honest and remitable. and thin nn man who knows her, of whatever po litical creed, will deny Mrs. Cleve land to be.

"On the contrary,' said the Republican; "the Mills bill is auite loner and unmn r lies of protection remain.' "Five per cent, perhaps," suggested Adam Dmitn, somewhat sobered.

It is the firstto be printed in the present shape and will retain its convenient form, octavo page, m fu tare issues. .!".-..-.'-"-.! ' , In the introductory notice it is sta ted that "this series of reports of pro gress of the Experiment Station are in the main intended for the people, of North Carolina, and clearness of style, plainness of statement, and freedom from technicality is rather to be sought after than purely Bcien tifio and theoretical discussions Which would interest only those of scientific training." ..!:.' : , The tirht article is on the value and use of Field Experiments in which it is explained the difficulty connected with chemical analyses of the soil and state that experimenting in the field is the only trustworthy method for analyzing the soil and obtaining the most trustworthy results. This article prefaces a series of future reports on the field experiments now being car ried on by practical farmers nnder the direction of the Experiment Sta tion in various counties of the State on different crops cotton, corn, po tatoes, peanuts, etc, which promises to be very interesting and instruc tive. Owing to the fact that the Exper iment Station reoeives by special en actment of the Legislature the bene fits of funds from the Hatch act, its operations have been materially en larged and the scope of work for the future greatly inoreased. . In addition to what has already been and is now being done, and with whioh our people are thorough ly acquainted, work is now progress ing towards the construction of ex perimental stables and dairy where investigations will be carried on in the production of milk and butter, in the growth of cattle, the value of different food-stuffs, the value of en silage, etc. The Station has facili ties also for the examination of grasses to ascertain whether they are beneficial or injurious in their growth. i In a special notice the Direotor call attenion to the slowness of all scientific investigation where accura cy is desired, and cautions the people not to expect too much nor to expect it too quickly.! It is stated that the "correspondence of the Station is re garded as one of the most important of its duties, and as such will receive the closest and, promptest attention." The farmers of the State, for whose benefit the Station was established, are earnestly requested to interest themselves in" the working of the Station, as well as to suggest any in vestigation which may benefit their sections. I I The publications of the Station are free to those who request them. WAGES. From Thurman's Great Speech. It is true that in America laboring men generally receive more "wages in money man tney do in foreign lands, but not by any manner of means to the extent you might suppose from hearing so much talk about it. For instance, let me give you the follow ing facts according to the last census: Great Britain had a population of 401 to a square mile. 'The average wages paid were 97$ cents per day. That is intireat .Britain. JNew iungr&nd Has a population of 310 to tne square mile, and the average wages were $1 02 per day,: about 4 cents more than in England. I Ohio has a population of SO to the square mile, and wages average $1 08 a day. Colorado's wages average $1 45 per day. The entire U mted States, not including: the Ter ritories and the District of Columbia, has 24 to the square mile, and the average waeres are SI 12. What fact does this establish? Does it not prove that the more dense the population the greater the competition among wage earners and the lower the wages? ana tae reverse oi tne proposition, the less the competition among wage earners the higher the wages? No man can 'deny that who has any re gard ior tne trutn. !, .Now. my mends, voa hear a ereat deal said abont the pauper labor of England, especially because our chief imports are from Great Britain. Eng land, Ireland and Scotland, j. And yet you see mat in mat most prosperous State of Massachusetts, the ereatest manufacturing State in the Union. tne average wages are only abont four cents more than thev are in England. But if you take the purchasing power of money, as you might do, the wages are as high in England as they are in Massachusetts. A voice "Higher." i ao not Know put wnat tney are. they are as hierh certainly in Encr- lanu as tney are in Massachusetts, because in order to ascertain how much a man is obtaining by his labor and to ascertain how much his earn ings tend to support him and his fam ily, you must take into account what it costs him to live, and if it costs a man more to live in one -nlaea than it ooes in another, although he may get more wages ;in the first named place than he does in the second, he may not lay up one sin&rle cent more of money.

Reports re ceived from various parts of Arkansas be tween Bnncber's j Bend and Arkansas City all complain of having too much rain. Many of the cotton fields that two weeks ago gave promise of a fair harvest are now impassable oa account of mud and water. ricking, which was about to be begun, has been indefinitely postponed; half prawn bolls are nearly all rotting and; shedding. Caterpillars have made their appearance in Chicot county and are eating very fast in some localities. ; From along Sunflower rivir some reports have been received, and in some very lowlands cotton is sheddiog rapidly. In many fields specks on the bolls are as numeiousas are blossoms in Jnne. A spt cial to the Times-Democrat, from Yicksburg, sajs for several days past neavy ana incessant rams have prevailed throughout the whole of the agricultural region surrounding I Vicksburg. and the greatest damage is reported to have been done to the crops.

WA GEH AND FARMERS. From TburmanV Big Speech at Port tiuron. In round numbers the laborers in unprotected industries - receive as high wages as those in the protected industries. I do not know what the wages of farm hands are - here in Michigan. - In my own State they are about 1 a dav for farm hands: and you see that in the State of Massa- chusetts, according to the returns oi oar own board, they are $1.04 in those manufacturing industries. So that there is practically no difference whatever worth talking about be tween the wages that one reoeives and the wages that the other receives. They are both substantially the same. If you take oomforts ; and cost of 1 living and all that intd ac count, the agricultural hand in the' State of Ohio reoeives anite as srood wages as the laborers In the protect ed industries oi tne- country, any friends, nothine is more common than to hear the protectionist orator savthat the tariff is a benefit to tne farmer. How it can benefit the farm er I have never been able to find oat. Let us consider the subject in the light of experience. We had a low tariff ; from 1846 up to the breaking out of the war. It was oalled the Walker tariff, or the tariff of '48. I remember it very wen, for I was in the House of Representa tives at the time and voted for it. From 1850, (I take this from the cen sus and therefore I have to take these years from 1850 to 1860), while that tariff was in force, tne farm lanas in the United States, according to the census reports, increased in value 103 rer cent. Then came the hisrh tariff of 1861 or 1862, whichever It was. And from 1860 to 1870, another period oi ten years, the increase in the value of farming land in the United States was only 40 per oent. Under the low tariff it had been 103 per cent, - in crease of value in ten years. Under this high tariff it was only 40 percent. But it may .be said that it includes the period of the war and I don't make fair comparison. I grant the force or that to some extent, isutxue war ended in 1865, and we can compare the next ten years, from 1870 to 1880, and by these same census reDorts. It appears that- in these ten years of profound peace, from 1870 to lorn the value ot farming lanas oi me whole United' States increased but 9 per cent. Under the highest protec tive tariff that was ever inflicted upon this country they have increased but 9 per cent, while under the low tariff of 1846 in ten years, from 1850 to 1860, during prof and peaoe, they increased to the value of 103 per cent, applause more than ten times.as fast as they have increased now. They have somewhere here a statement of how it was in this goodly State of Michi gan. Yes, here It is (produomg mem orandum). From 1850 to 1860. under the low tariff period, the value of farming land mMlcnigan increased zii percent. From 1860 to 1870, under a high protective tariff, it had increased 164 per cent, i But from 1870 to 1880, during a period of profound peace, and under the highest tariff the country has ever known, the value of fanning land in the State of Michigan has increased only 24 per cent. It inoreased under the walker tariff, which has been so much denounced as a free trade tariff. In ten years un der that tariff it had increased at the rate of 211 per cent, while now, under a period of profound peaoe it nas in creased but 211 per eent, and you must remember that under the Walk er tariff we i hod a great war, the Mexican war, and I do not make any deduction for that. Mad values con tinued to increase from 1860 to 1880 as they did daring the low tariff period from 1800 to i860, farm lands in Aiicn- igan would have been in 1880 $1,047.- 000,000, Instead of being as they were by the census of lgso only $4W.ouu. i And so. too. take farm implements. They increased in value from 1850 to 1800 at the rate of 104 per cent and in 1880 only 41 60-100 per cent. If they naa increased in the same ratio under the high tariff that they did under tne low they would now be worth S23.500.000 instead of S19.50O.O0O. ion see, then, by these figures that it is quite impossible tnat tnis mgn tarm is of advantage to the agricultural community.

Mr. Oullom addressed- the-Senate on the same subject - He asserted that the retali ation, message might be fairly taken as evi dence that even the President had become satisfied that the treaty was a mistake. So to retrieve what he bad lost by that mis take, the President had launched out into the broader sea, and would una nimseif in deeper water than before,, and with greater dangers threatening to overtake him , It mieht be regarded as Mr. Cleveland's lone delayed letter , of acceptance of the Demo cratic nomination ror tne t-resiaency, oe eause it betrayed, clearly his anxiety for another term of office, and his fear that be would not be elected. The Senate then proceeded to considera tion of the Fortification bill, with amend ments recommended by the Committee on Appropriations. ..The first amendment was the insertion of a new section providing for a supervisory board.
