The man turned out was Barnes Compton, of Maryland.' He has served five years in the house, aui had j become one of the most distinguished members. However, there was. a young Republican named Mudd, who wanted his seat. There was no bolting from either party. Every man was on band or paired, and the vote stood 159 to 145, in favor of.Muda. Thursday w;lfe a sad day for poor, old "Grandma" Blair. The educational bill was buried beneath the cold, cold I sod by his colleagues in the seuate. The vote sstood 86 to o2 against the bill.

Senator Sherman made a concise state ment of the purposes aimed at bv the bill. Trusts, he contended, were the outgrowth Df high tariff which fostered them, and the only way to suppress them was to bury the ax in the cause which made them possible. long running debate fol lowed.

Russell to be pest-master at Anderson courthouse, South Carolina, was confirmed by a party vote on a call of the ayes and noes. This nomination has been held up for some weeks on the objection of South Carolina senators. Major McKinlcy 's tariff bill, which was to have been presented on Friday to the full committee, is not yet born, and there is no telling when it will make its ap pearance. 4 Major McKinley and his asso ciates are beginning to rind out that they have aa elephant on their hands. On all sides opposition is vigorous and intense, and the committee is trying to hammer the bill into shape, and get it reported to the house before it is emasculated beyond recognition. An application from Mrs. Thomas J. Jackson for a pension for the services of her late .husband, General "Stonewall" Jackson, in the Mexicap war, was filed at the pension office Friday General Longstreet was the witness. To the above was added the affidavit of Dr. Joseph Graham, who was present at the marriage July 15, 1857, of Lieutenant J; Jackson and Miss Mary Ann Morrison. Mrs. Jackson will receive a pension of $8 per month from January' 29, 1887, the date of the passage of the Mexican Vete ran's Bill some $304 up to this date. The committee on agriculture, on Fri day, reported favorably to the house, with "amendments, of the Conger bill, defining lard, and imposing a tax upon and regu-' lating the .manufacture, etc., of compound lard. The bill, in its main features, is similar to. the oleomargarine law, which the committee says has given general sat isfaction, and the wrongs to be prevented and the benefits to be secured are in their general character the same in both eases. The report concludes with the statement that the compound lard trade as carried on is a stupendous commercial fraud, which it is the duty of congress to sup press. The civil service commission has in the course of preparation a circular of instruc tions to applicants for . examination for the appointment to the government de partmental service. A considerable por tion of it is devoted to the discussion of the question : "When may an appointinent be expected V In connection with this subject, it is learned that, while the quqtas of several eastern, northern and western states are generally exhausted, thdse of the southern states, especially ineligibles for appointment from the clerk regaters, are by no means full, the fact being, it is stated, that competent clerks who can pass the necessary examination from either Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ifrorth Carolina, &outh Carolina or Kentucky ar reasonably certain of appointment. TOUGH ON CANADA, THK EFKKCT OF TirE' "EW UNITED STATES T A TUFF OK HER TR ADE. 0 A dispatch from Ottawa, Ont., says: It appears as if the framers of the United States tariff changes had studied the dis tinctive products of each province of Cadada, and ip creased the duties on. them accordingly. The new schedule aims at Ontario in the matterof barley and apples at Quebec and New Brunswich on horses and hay, and at Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island on potatoes and other vegetables. Nova Scotia also gets hard hit in the shape of increased duties on fish. Those ,who have looked iuto the details of the new tariff, think it is a direct blow at Canadian trade with the United States. The duty on horses is nOwT twenty per cent. ; the orooosal is to raise it to thirty per cent. ULTlU TT DUO. Canada ses t last year 17,277 horses, val ued at States, leveled will fall $2. 11:3.728, to the United The increased duty., is -against that trade, and most heavily on Ontario and whence 10,000 of the horses Quebec, were drawn, lheauty on came, Jr mcrly twenty per cent, is to be raised to 10 per head where the cattle are over a year old, and $2 per head where .less. Canada sent 37,:500 cattle, valued at $488,266, to the.United States' last year. The duty on these imports would be, un der the old rate, $9,764. Undo- the new rate it would reach, provided the cattle are all over a year old, $378,090. Eggsr now free, it is proposed to tax at the rate of five cents a dozen.. CanadaV ex ports last year were 14,011,017 -dozen. The tax at five cents would be $700,000. It is in barley that the greatest damage will 'be done. The present duty on bar ley is ten cents per . bushel. It is pro posed to iucrcasc the rate to thirty cents. Last year Canada sent 6,934,504 bushels to the, United States. The present duty on this quantity is $993,450. The nbw duty would aggregate $2,880,350. J.

ITS ITEMS OF INTEREST TO THE FARMER, GATHERED FROM VAKIOCS SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY. The Alliance officials in Georgia have given prompt denial to the Washington story that the order intended to scoop up all the Congressional districts thiVyear. The Farmers' Alliance now has 70,090 members in Kansas, and is growing at the rate of 2,000 a month. It is ten months yet until election. Ninety thousand votes thrown one way will play the mischief with the plans of the politicians. Atch ton Globe. - " From every county comes the news that the Alliance is cheering stronger. Alliancemen are learning irac- fciv" jug near lessons or economy and co-operation: those who had the courage and patience to stand by the principles of the Alliance are beginning to reap the benefits of the order. Solid South. Why is it that the journals pretending to be such friends of the Farmers1 Alliance do not come out squarely and endorse the sub-treasury plan and the railway plat form of the National Alliance, which de mands that 'the railways must be con trolled by the people in "the interest df the masses, and that the farmer should re ceive same privileges as aro accorded the banks flnd linn d -Viold fr 1 Ynn yonmf .carry water on both shoulders any longer.' it you are with us say so, and if you are not. show your .colors. -Southern Farm-' frs' Alliance. The Farmers' Alliance is ffoin; ahead with its own business. "What havf they done?" some will ask. Read this and just think for a moment and then you will answer for yourself:. "They have done a great deal for the laboring people." What did guano sell for at this time last year? and wdiat is it selling at now? Look at the difference in the price of cotton last fall and last fall year. Just look at everything in proportion as well as cotton and guano. The principle of the thing is enough for any man. . Buchanan (Ga.) Messenger. ' Neither the race problem nor sectional difficulties intruded themselves at the great national convention of farmers and laborers at St. Louis. Delegates from the Colored Farmers' Alliance were re ceived by the white Fanners' Alliance and matters pertaining to their mutual interest were considered. Northerners and Southerners, brothers in the Alli ance, clasped) hands at that convention and left the thrill of fraternal fellowship which all the fierce blowing of dead em bers cannot chill. If politicians will cease meddling, the Farmers' Alliance and In dustrial Uaion will solve the race problem and re-unite the too-long estranged sec tions of our beloved countrv. - President Polk of N. F. A. and I. U., knows more concerning the condition of the Alliance throughout the country than any mau in the South, and when ques tioned as to Alliance matters, he said: "Although the growth of the Alliance in the South has been wonderful, the growth of the order in the Northwest has been still more phenomena. In Kansas, great strides are being made in the right direction, and the organization has more than doubled since the St. Louis conven tion. The farmers, of the west, although they are not, troubled by any particular grievance such as the jute bagging oppression of the South, still have great obstacles to overcome. They feel the effects of the reduction in prices, and they find it almost impossible to make a living profit from their pro ducts. They are trying to break the combination of the buyers, and I have nc doubt they will succeed. One feature ol the National Alliance assures me above all else of its success. .It is killing out sec tionalism, and building up a national spirit which will be a benefit to the whole nation." ' .Among the resolutions adoptqd at the recent Convention df the National Alli ance, held at Atlanta; Ga., was the fol lowing: "Whereas, at New - Orleans in September, 1889, a conference .was had between prominent representatives of the cotton growers of the South and mem bers of the cotton exchanges in the Uni ted States, an agreement was entered into which was to take effect on the first day of October thereafter, fixing the tare on cotton covered bales at sixteen pounds, and on jute covered bales at twenty-four pounds, which was satisfactory to Alli ancemen. And, whereas, by the opposi sition of several important cotton ex changes this agreement wa3 rendered a nudety. "And, whereas, we invited the cotton exchanges of this country to a conference on this same subject at St. Louis on "Decembor 5th, 1889, which they refused to notice by letter or other wise. And, whereas,; our president. Col. L. L. Polkecently urged upon these parties to express their wishes or plan for an adjustment of this question, at a' meet ing to be held in Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1890, and only one reply vas received with encouragement, and that from Mr. James Tobin, of Augusta. And, where as, after a "careful consideration of the whole subject in all- its phases,, we, the presidents and accredited representa tives of the State Alliances of the cotton section, in conference assemb'ed in . At lanta, Ga., March 19th, 1890, do unani mously reaffirm the equity and justice of our demands on this subject ; and wc do. therefore, Resolved, That we urge the Alliance men of the cotton states to stand by the action of tha St. Louis supreme council on the use of cotton bagging or any othei fibre than jute, and that each Allianceman be, and is hereby instructed to deposit said cotton-cCvcred bales in warehouses, to be provided, and, with liberal ad vances, as can be had - thereon, and to al low said cotton-covered bales there to re main until the demands made shall be complied .with. Resolved also, That your national and state officials do hereby pledge their ut most ability and unceasing efforts in be half of the people to obtain full and fair facilities for marketing their cotton." Resolved, That our president, L. L. Polk, be instructed to assure the brethren in the cotton states that the outfcok for the manufacture anl supply of cotton bagging is much better than for the past year and will probably be equal to the de mand, i Kesolved, That the state presidents o1 each Alliance or union be requested to as sist in every possible way J.

DISCUSSING THE TARE. THE H AGGING COMMITTEES CONSIDERING TnE NET WEIGHT QUESTION. The Interstate and State bagging com mitteeshelda meeting in Atlanta, Ga., on Wednesday,- to discuss the demand to be made by the Alliance as to selling cotton by net weight. The delegates tc the convention were -as follows: W. S. Morgan, Arkansas; S. M. Adams, Ala bama; .W. J. Vason, Florida; T. S. Adams 'Louisiana ; J. B. Dines, Missouri: S. B. Alexander, R. B.

As it now stands, cotton is sold in Liverpool with.thirty pounds tare to the bale off. As cotton bagging with tics weigh only sixteen pounds, and even jute with ties weighs only twenty-four, the farmer loses either fourteen or six pounds of cotton on every bale he sells. The demand will probably be that,, like tobacco, sugar and other things, cotton must be sold at net weight. Jefferson Davis Uemorial Volume. BY DR. J. WM. JOXHS. Wa learn from the publishers, Mewrs.

COU' American agriculture is treated by Sta tistician J. R, Dodge in the March report of the department of agriculture. The prevalence of low prices is noted and feel ing of discouragement in rUral" circles throughout the jvorld is indicated. It is, nd has been, especially severe in Great Britain, and' is the subject of com plaint, discussion and . official in vestigation in Germany, France, Italy, . and,' other countries. It is -present in monarchies and republics, un der diverse currencies "and economic sys terns. Though the prices of implements, utensils and fabrics are also lower, the farmer's interest account is unreduced, and his mortgage harder to lift. THE CAUSE OF J.OW. PRICES. The main cause of low prices is referred to the inexorable law of supply and de- -mand. Corn and wheat and -other staples are cheap because of over-production. Immigration has increased the population ,000,000 in ten years. Inter-continental areas have been carved into farms free to the natives and foreigners, opening mil lions of acres to cultivation. ' Railroad cx- tension has stimulated production and overwhelmed the cast with western pro ducts. Speculation first aud Utilization af terwards have produced results that have astonished the world with a plethora ; of bread and meat. The old world ha' joined with the new to crowd the monn tains, valleys, slopes and far-stretching plains of the continent with beeves, hi f the haunts of th once countless herds of buffalo. In the more eastern areas maturity of beeves has been hastened by breeding and feeding. An extended comparison shows how in the progress of forty years, pro duction outrun the population in its wildest strides. It is shown that wheat growing has become a philanthropic mis sion to make cheap bread consistent with the low wages in Great Britain, that northwestern missionaries continue sowing their seeds and floating their bread across the waters, mourning for profits that do not return after many days. It is suggested that less than a fourth of the world eat wheat : that half of the people of Europe scarcely know the taste-, and that Asia, Africa, South America and Australia all have wheat to sell. Mr. Dodge says that while there is an excess of production of few staples, there are insufficient supplies ol many other necessary products, and the total absence of scores of others, which should furnish profitable employment to rural labor.: There is too narrow a range. of cropping. . Diversification is essentiaL to agricultural salvation. There are im ports costing $210,000,000 per annum, of a cultural products which should be produced here. These are sugar, ani mals and their products, fibers,-fruits and nuts, barley, leaf tobacco, and wines. ; The farmers are suffering for the want ol the hundreds of millions of dollars thai the sweat of the brows and dexterity of. hands might produce in "raw materials" for scores of old and new industries. Depression more intense , will result, it i$ predicted, if the farmers continue to re strict their efforts, walk in the furrow their fathers turned, and leek to live and die in the same o'vcrdoit and profitless routine. Another series cause of de pression, he says, is theexorbitant share y of farmer's products iaken by middle men and carriers. Peculators depress prices - when the liners are full, and boom them whew the farmers have nothing to sell, as atiresent. The com munity is infested Avith the pestilent swarms of non-prbcers. The curse of speculation blights d consumes the re-v suit of honest lndjKy Leeches fasten on every product Jriabor and suck from it the iff e-blood (profit. Men who pro duce nothing, -thP neither toil on faims nor spin in faeces, are absorbing the wealth of the mtry, by combinations without constffrce, and service without equity.
