There is a good deal of speculation
as to what, the Senate will do with
the silver question. There is a good
deal more speculation in silver
itself in consequence of the queer
attitude of the Senators on the sub
ject. An engineer on tho Iron Mountain
Road has perfected an automatic
bell ringei on his locomotive, and
now, when running in corporation
limits, or wherever the bell must be
rung, he just jerks a spring and the
bell is kept going by steam power
till he turns off the steam.
When ur farmers are struggling

make the people pay the profit to
Uver, speculators.
The condition of affairs on the

planters there for even if the flood
were to subside now it would be
weeks before they would plants
their crops.

State, to he increased until a limit
of not less than $12."., 000 is reached.
After the memorial had been read
the members of the commit lee ques

the giowth and needs of agricultural
colleges.

While it is impossible to state with
any degree of certainty what weight
to give to the great complaint coming
up from many of the farmers in re
erard to the extent of damn ires done
bv the flv, nevertheless it has had
the eftVer to fid vn. nee prir.-s. Wi-th.-tin-

Till sillipiv STfiTe thht if would he a
very rare occurrence to fail in a
crop of tobacco for the want of
plants. The time once was when
the seasous had much to do with
planting a full crop of tobacco, but
j later experience goes to prove that
j the seasons have comparatively little
to do with the planting of a crop of
tobacco. The farmers are so well up
with the modern improvements that
they make seasons when the plants
are ready, and grow the plants fly
or no fly. So, if a man fails to plant
a crop, it is at once conceded that
he is not up with the improvements
of the day. So, we conclude it is
best to wait and see what the inge
nuity of man will do when the emer
gency of the case brings him to the
test. We may fail to plant a crop,
but is too soon to settle that question

The farmers are coming to the
front a movement which ought to
have begun long before now. But
it has begun at last and will con
tinue until the farmers and their
friends have control of public affairs
and administer them in a manner
satisfactory to themselves. Already
have they forced the country to listen
to their needs and consider the
remedies. Many are the suggestions
made, many the plans advocated for
the amelioration of the depressed
condition of agriculture by those
who never gave a thought to it be
fore they heard something drop. The
need of friendly legislation by the
farmers has been patent for a long
time but their groans beneath bur
dens have been unheeded. But when
the farmers ceased their groanings,
girded then loins and determined to
take their own affairs into their own
hands, when five million agricultu
lal, knowing that in union there is
strength, banded together for their
own protection, then all at once
numbers of would-be statesmen re
members them. This is well. It is
precisely what the farmers intended.
But the farmers know very well that
the solicitude for their welfare is
only seeming, and that the anxiety
is really caused by a fear of possible
relegation to private life. But the
motive is unimportant so the end is
attained.
Another amusing incident of the
change in public sentiment is the
constant ourpour of advice to the
Alliance as to what and how its
members should do in the coming
campaign. It would injure your
cause if you do thus and so, says one.
You should not organized a third
party but seek your relief through
the two great political parties, says
another. We have always been a
friend to the farmers and they ought
not do anything to injure us, says a
third; and so it goes. How kind are
they! How desirous to convince the
Alliance of their unselfish friendship!
Well, the Alliancehas as much brain
as it has brawn and can distinguish
easily the dross from the gold. The
gold it will preserve, the dross destroy.
