ADVICE TO THE POOR FARMERS OF NY
OWN COUNTY.


The drought of the present year exceeds
any since that of 1903. aud is even more
uniye rsal. In Kentucky, from which our
sea ports were beginning TO procure corn
by the way Of New Orleans. many have to
drive their cattle ten miles to water; in
the western parts of Virginia it is worse.
In that great corn country on the Kappa
hannoc and jones River, whose abundant
crops filled our graEaries, reduced the
price Of that article, and fed the poor OF
cur cities, farmers are stopping the sales
Of their last years crop Of corn. Although
rains have partially fallen in the last ten
days, no gladdeaing change has taken
place; such is the fixed and shriveled
state of our corn fields, that nothing can
Gnovate them, neither the bounteous rains
from heaven, nor the skill Of the farmer.
Three years ago, corn, the staff of life in
Virginia, was and 10 dollars per barrel [;
in the present absence Of money, 5 dollars
is more than 10 dollars was in 1916, as
money has not only appreciated in value,
but in tact has disappeared almost from the
face Of the earth, still at that period crops
were doubiy as abundant as we can new
venture to anticipate.
Under this gloomy prospect, happily,
the only remedy is simple and in the pow

THE CABINET.

The CABINET.
We have frequently seen intimations in
the newspapers, that, on such day Ca.
binet Council was held, and conjecture is
busy as to the probable subject Of their
deliberations. Oae guesses il is one thing |;
another another; and profound specula.
tions are thus thrown away Oh an incident,
which, few remarks will serve to shew,
is in itself inconsequentia!.
The term Cabinet is not TO be found in
our Constitution or Laws. 1t however has
been applied, we believe, from the origin
of the government, to the President. and
his legaI advisers, the secretaries tor the
departments of state, treasury, war and
navy; and, more recently, the attorney
general has been included in the number.
The president is authorized, by law, to
require the opinions of these officers. in
writing, on any question submitted to
them, and be may take their opinions in a.
ny other manner. Through one or the o.
ther of them all communications Of an Off.
cial nature are, or ought to be, addressed
to the president, and through them all or.
ders are issued in regard to the branches OF
the psblic service con6ded TO their super
attendance respectively. 1t is necessary,
therefore. that they should hold frequent
communication with him. 1t is probable,
that, during the presence of the president
at the seat OF government. he sees each Of
them at least once every day. At times,
accident brings them all together; at Other
times they meet ~ agreement, for the pur.
pose Of a more full interchange OF opinions
respecting public affairs, generally, or re.
spscting any particular measure which may
be suggested.
These meetings Of the several great off.
GERS OF the government are, therefore, mat
ters Of course /; they take place almost eve
" day, ana certainiy every week, in the
year. They are, therefore. pregnant with
no important consequences. and porten.
tious neither OF peace or war. All inte-
rences drawn from any reported sitting o.
the cabinet must be vague and conjecturai
Il were well II such employment, Of the
imagination were always as harmless as i
70 useless.
