The Post, In its leading editorial arti-
Gle relative to a possible advance of the
Russians to Galllpoli, says: "rhe Russ
slams now affect TO consider that the ad-
vance Of our fleet turned their position.
They are apparently disposed 10 occupy
Gallipoli unless we agree to give them
guarantees against our further advance.
Such guarantees would be found in a
Russian occupation of forts on the Bos-
phorus or In promise by England not
to enter the Black Sea-" v
The Paris correspondent of the STAN
dard heard that British iron-clads, have
gone to the Gulf ofSaros. This is un-
doabtedly for the purpose Of being able
to land men and occupy the lines Of
Bulair should the Russians threat Ell to
advance upon Gallipoli.
The Telegraph believes that Prince
Gortschakof has attached no unr eason-
able conditions to bis assurance that the
Russians will not occupy Gallipoli.
rhe Telegraph's Vienna correspond
ent says difficulty has arisen relative to
the date of the convocation of the Con-
gress. Prince Gortschakoff considers
that preliminary treaty Of peace should
be first signed. Austria objects TO Rus
sia being able to present treaty as a
fatt accompH.
The Berlin correspondent Of the Times
states that the Russians are concentrate
ing 100000 men in Roumania. This
occasions much comment in Austria.
The Agence Russo. of Ut. Petersburg,
states that it is probably the meeting
of the Powers will merely take the
form of a conference. The Turks
are becoming more recalcitrant in re-
gard to the peace negotiations.

to prove this he Immediately went on to
tell the Southern democrats that they

The attitude Of the "work-

SO menacing that the authorities
have found it necessary to adopt
extreme measures to protect the
city from the violence which
they openly threaten. The
mayor has prohibite their as
sembling in large bodies-a pre-
canton rarely adopted even in
European cities, except in tim
es of siege, and cases of great
public peril-and the law and
order classes of the city, with
that capacity for organization
which the vigilance committee
days taught them, bave orga-
nized to protect the city agaisnt
an uprising. At the same Tins
milder measures are being take
en- to meet the difficulty. Work
at 81 day, which is about
two-thirds the regular rate on
Pacific coast, has been offered to
as many as 1000 men. This
will satisfy all who really vans
to work, and the others, who
seek only mischief, can be taken
care of in another way. The
precaution taken are so thorough
that it is not probable now an
outbreak will occur.-& Louis

the best part OF the world for
farming. The BANNER claims
that here in Washington county
the land cannot be surpassed.
Everything in the vegetable
kingdom that grows in the
temperate zone can be raised in
abundance. In the Brazos bot
tom the ordinary yield OF an
acre Of well cultivated land is g
bale Of cotton. Corn can be
raised to the extent of from so
to so bushels. What the BAN
HER wishes to say to its num-
erous country readers is, that
there is large profits to be
made on truck patches" peas,
bearss tomatoes and cabbages
raised IN this climate always
cosnuuand fabulous prices in the
northern cities. A single acre
OF land carefully cultivated in
vegetables, such as known are
'-gardem sass" can be made to
realize from four to five hRn-
dred dollars. This, Of course,
requires very close attention,

Farmers

1t secns to- us that an awuE-
ening among our ,farrsers osgk'
TO be in order about fhs time.
Hitherto it has been common so
assume that every ether enr
ployment did more than farm
ing for the mental improvement
OF It's yotaries; on the same
rrineipIe, however, it might be
affirmed that the mushroom Is
greater than the oak; tor the
reason why agriculture has not
been appropriated as a pursuit
if, that it required the develop
ment of many auxiliary sciences
TO bring it to perfection; and
these sciences are only just now
beginning to be understood.
Because agriculture is the great
est Of all pursuits it is the last
which comes to perfection. 1t
has waited long upon mechanics
and chemistry TO prepare the
way for It's supremacy, but at
last tbat way has been made
straight; hence, if those who
are Hsw IN possession of the
soil 30 not understand that
FARMING ne~ requires a differ
ent. policy from that pursued
bv gur fathers before the days of
railroads and telegraphs-ot the
of manufactures
and agriculture and OF the diver
sity and relation OF crops men
Of experience and progrcss will
take their places.
We have often written in ex-
preston of the idea that our
young men who were born on
farms, and who expect to in
herit lands, should Tot seek ed
acation as lawyers, doctors or
preachers, but as farmers. We
want to see the best culture
brought to bear on this pursuit,
assured that it may be made
the sphere of the highest grade
Of manly and womanly refine
ment.
Another and very important
item is the cultivation of a
spirit of intellectual and friendly
association among our farmers
and their families. At present
there is more of this in every
other pursuit than in that of
agriculture; but, the time has
come when farmers must agree
to work together for the ad-
yancemeut of their calling.
Otherwise, while they labor
iously produce the basis of all
values. men of other callings
will make all the money and
grow enormously rich. while
the producers remain poor.
Nature has marked out this
region as the paradise of agri-
culturists, and nothing is want
ing to make it such except an
enlightened policy on the part
of the tillers of the soil, and this
Is why we regard the Grange
organization with such hearty
approval; we believe it has
aroused among our that
spirit of cooperation in behalf
of their pursuit which is essen
tial to their individual pros
perity.
There are many questions
calling tor the attention of our
farmers, one Of the most impor-
tant of which is a greater diver
sity of crops in its relation to
labor and profit. Again, it is
to be regretted that SO many Of
the necesssries of life, and those
too for the production Of which
our climate and soil is peculiarly
adapted, are constantly import
ed. The money received for
cotton. sold at a low figure in
consequence of over production,
IS mostly exported. This, OF,
itself, furnishes reason enough
icr investigation. Let us have
