TOO MUCH COTTON AGAIN.

There sre indications that the recent
rise in cotton has stimulated many
planters again to try the experiment Of
making "big crops" The demand for
ae!d hands has increased since the rise,
and We hssr Of preparations by men who
lost by last years. cotton planting to
pitch f" largely for the staple again.
The Atlanta papers report a sudden ae-
tiVity in the transportation of bacon
south ward over the State Road, and one
OF them makes the Suggestion that it is
in consequence Of the preparations by
planters to make cotton largely this year.
The burnt child, it is said, "dresds the
hre.'t But in this ease We see grown-up
msn, who have found out by experience
that il viii not do to buy bacon at present
prices to feed hands engaged in the rails
ing Of cotton, again Fesorting to the
hazardous attempt. Ifthey had plenty
of corn and bacon, the failure TO make
cotton crop p ay expenses would not be
so serious an affair with them. But It
does really seem to be time that our peoo
pie had found out that the raising ut
home of their own provisions Is = necess-
ary prerequisite to the successful culture
of cotton on s large scale, under the
present circumstances We hope that
better luck this time awaits those who
have been induced by the rise in cotton

WHAT An ILLINOIS FARMER IS DOING.

NJ. L. Sullivant, of Chatsworth, Liv.
! ingston county, owns forty thousand
acres of arabic land, partly in Living
ston and partly in Ford counties. On
this ground he has 800 miles of Osage-
Orange hedge in thrifty condition. This
year ne will break up and put into eul-
tiyslion 10000 acres in addition to the
broad area now sown, 5000 of which he
will plant in corn, the balance in wheat
and grass. For this work, be has left an
order with Gregory & Hastings, live
stock commission merchants this city,
for the purchase OF ffty pairs Of oxen,
and fifty mule teams, which will at once
go forward TO his plaHtstiOn.
Mr.. Suliivant last year found that one
of his out lots was not yielding him the
profit that he expected, so, purchaser
coming along one day, he sold MIN for
cash 24,000 acres in Champaign county,
| in one body. Mr.. John T. Alexander Of
/ Jacksonville, was the purchaser.
In relation to the profit of such extern
siye farming as Mr. Sullivant carries on
| we may cay that rumor has it that bis
net income is from $50 600 to $50, 600 q
year from his agricultural operations,
most OF which he expends for widening
! the area Of his vast possessions and for
redeeming and improving the land ac-

Old Citizens Conc.

The early settlers of this portion of
the West have nearly all gone to their
last home. A few only remain of the
sturdy band of pioneers, who laid the
foundation Of our present greatness
and prosperity, through many hard
ships and indomitable toll. During
the past few days We have the intelli-
gence of the death of three Of. the old
est citizens of neighborlng counties.
On the 23d of May WILLIAM Eos
TER died at Petersburgh. Pike
County, in the eighty-second year of
his age. He was a native of England,
but for nearly half century had been
a citizen of Pike County. He was
the oldest brother of the late Judge
M. w. FOSTER, Of this city. Indus
trious, honest, and highly esteemed
by all who knew him, he leaves be-
hind him name IF which his kind
red may we'll be proud.
On the 18th ult., Moses CHASE,
an old citizen of Warrick County ,
died at his home near Boonville, at
the ripe old age of seventy five years.
Mr.. CHASE emigrated from Ohio to
Warriek County about thirty years
ago. He was one of the prominent
members Of the old Congregational
Church Of Boonville, an intelligent
and upright man, and one of the best
and most useful citizens of the county.
His place cannot well be filed.
Wealso learn of the death of GRANT
I. DUNAISs at lRockport, on the 18th
ult. Mr.. DUNNING had only at late
date moved to Rockport from Boon
vile, where he had lived for many
years, an old and worthy citizen,
highly regarded by all. He was a

THE Brooklyn Eagle, a leading
Democratic organ, enumerates the
candidates most conspicuous for the
Presidential nomination, among the
rest General DIX. It, however, adds
the following:
Mr.. Chase has more friends among
the Democratic managers than Dix,
and the meeting held in his interest
on Saturday evening, under the aus.
pieces of Oakley Hall, is believed TO be
a feeler on the part of the Tammany
Sachems IN his favor. 1t is contend
ed that Mr.. Chase could split the Re-
publican party In the center, and that
the slavery question being settled. he
is now prepared to stand on plat
form which no Democrat can object
to-the Constitution of the United
States.
With the Pittsburg Commercial,
we would like to see the attempt to
split the Republicans with Mr.. CHASE
tried. If his chances rest on the sue
cess of such an enterprise they would
speedily vanish. He is the very last
man for whom Republicans would
turn against GRANT and CoLFAx.

IF the writer of the above paragraph
had as keen a sense Of delicacy or de-

of the people desire to honor him

There is clique al Cincinnati who
are doing serious injury to Hon. Geo.

Death OF Ex.Presldent Buchanan

Death or. Ex.President Buchanan
Our dispatches, this morning, an.
nounce the death of this prominent
politician For some months past be
has been known to be in feeble
health, consequently the announce
ment will Lake none by surprise.
| JAMES, BUCHANAN was of Irish
parentage, and was bora, at Stony
Battle, ! ranklip. County aPennsylya-
nia, April q, 1871. He graduated at
Dickinson College in 1909, ana was
admitted to practice at the bar as a
lawyer in 1872, being then little more
than twenty-one years 2 Of age.
When not over twenty five years
of age he successfully defended.
before the Pennsylvania Senate, a
distinguished Judge, who was tried
upon articles of impeachment. At
twenty three years Of age he became
a member Of the Legislature. IN
1920 he entered Congress, and deliv-
cred his first elaborate speech in that
body IN 1922. He took an active part
in the canvass Of 1923, which resulted
in the election of General JACKSON.
and was rewarded by the Chairman
ship of the House Judiciary Com
mittee. In 1881 he was appointed by
General JACKSON Minister to Russia,
and had the honor Of concluding
our first commercial treaty with
that Great Power. In 1888, he was
elected to the United States Senate.
While there he was always an ardent
supporter of everything that General
JACKSON said or did. He was also a
firm supporter Of the administrations
Of VAN buren, and TYLER. When Mr..
Polk was elected, he made Mr.. BU-
CHANAN his Secretary of State, during
which time he made the celebrated
Compromise on the Northwestern
Boundary question, accepting 40 de-
erees as the line instead of ffty-four
forty or fight, as had been the rally
ing cry Of his party during the canvass.
One Of the first acts of Mr..
PIEReEs administration, was the
appointm ent of Mr.. BUcHAN-
An as Minister to England. It
was while occupying this position he
had the celebrated conference at
Ostend, with reference to the pur-
chase or seizure of Cuba, which did
our Government and people so little
credit. He returned to the United
States in 1856, and was nominated by
the UemUvratIc parsy A. -IA---idant
and elected the same year.
The administration of Mr.. BUoH-
ANAN is familiar to our reaoers, and
it is needless for us to epitomize its
more prominent measures. 1t was
during this administration the seed
was sown from which the people reap
ed harvest of blood, and tears, and
death, in the rebellion.
We presume no man who filed so
many prominent positions in the Gov
ernment ever died less mourned. He
leaves no wife or children to weep
over his departure, and his own party
hold him not in sufficiently grateful
remembrance to do honor to his de-
parture. -a
