West" More terrible than all, how
ever, is the sentence of hard labor In
the mines, especially those of quick
silver. which, by its corrosive action
on the bones, makes a certain and
horrible death the inevitable climax
OF the penalty. Escape is almost i'm
possible, from the countless military
pickets, and the strictness OF their
surveillance; but, as if to make as
slrance doubly sure, the Russian
government is now sending many. of
its political prisoners to the newly
acquired island of Saghalin. lying be-
tween the Siberian coast and Japan.

there seems reason to fear that II

Indian Stories OF Olden
Times.

In the olden time Indians did not.
as they sometimes do not now, take
kindly to immigrants who settled up
on their hunting grounds. Like the
Anglo Saxon. they loved broad
acres, revere "vested right" and de-
Tended both against the encroach-

BANKER LEGISLATORS.

The founders of our Government had
a salutary dread of the bankers influence
making itself felt in shaping the national
legislation. They anticipated the evils that
we have seen in our days to result from
allowing the banking interest to become
dominant in the halls of Congress. We
find, therefore, the Third Congress of the
United States passing the following reso-
luton on the 23d of December I7o3:-
"Any person holding any office or any
stock in any institution in the nature of a
bank for issuing or discounting bills OF
notes payable to bearer or order, cannot
be a member of the House whilst he holds
such office or stock"
The resolution was signed by President
George Washington.
This was eighty-six years ago. AT the
time there were only three banks in the
whole country. Yet at that time Con-
gress thought that the bank influence
was such standing danger to the main
tenance of legislative purity that it deem
ed it necessary to provide against it by
special legislation.
rhe three banks of 1898 have grown to
over two thousand in 1879, and the bank.
ing interest has come to be so powerful
as to be represented IN the last congress
by one hundred and thirty bankers, the
largest representation that any class had
in national legislation, the next larges
being the legal profession, which wa:
represented by ninety nine ofits members
The result of the large preponderanct
of bankers in Congress it is hardly neces
sary to point out 1t is seen in the whole
tenor of Congressional legislation fo
years. The interests of the industria
classes have been constantly and system
atically sacrificed.
If something be not done to revive th'
law of 1898 the Government will sool
come to be openly, as it is already secret
ly, Bankers Government.
Or has that law ever been repealed? l
not, will not some of the few honest me
in Congress see that it is put into effect

GIVE US FACTORIES.

Is it good policy to hold out induce
ments to factories? In 1876 the Plttsburg
Cutlery Company asked the town of Bea-
yer to give them two acres to build the
factory on. The town refused. Beaver
Falls, three miles distant, heard this and
sent delegation authorized to donate all
lands needed. Beaver still remains quiet
sleepy town of 1900 inhabitants, while
Beaver Falls grew in three years from 200
to 5000 population.
Forty years ago, Thomas Benton, ad-
dressing a meeting at the mouth of the
kaw river, said ''Some day there will
arise on this spot one of the grandest cities
of this continent" Every advantage was
in favor of Wyandotte. Kansas, being that
city. But, unfortunately, she possessed
people opposed to granting any help to
manufactures. She even refused to give
to the Missouri Pacific rail road certain
lands on the levee which have since been
washed away, the company promising to
riprap the bank, thus saving the city the
expense, and also TO erect their machine
shops thereon. On the other bank of the
Kew stands Kansas City-a city that could
never do too much to foster manufactur-
ing enterprises, and the result is popu-
lation of Oo, o,oOO.-kanSaS baber.

HOLMES COUNTY, MISS.
NOTICE TO PATRON

In accordance with resolution adopted
at the last meeting of Holmes County
Grange, No. 7, Patrons throughout the
county are requested to meet at Licking
ton on Monday, Nov 24th, to discuss CO.
operation and mature plans for its practi-
cal workings. BAXTER WILSON,
Master Holmes County Grange.
The Patrons of Holmes county have
been discussing plans of CO operative en-
terprises for sometime, and from the above
we expect they are getting ready to act.
Holmes county has some of the very best
Patrons in the country, who have never
wavered in the faith, and we shall look
with great interest to their future efforts.
We commend to their special attention
the great question of establishing small
''new process" cotton factories. They can
engage in no more profitable enterprise,
next to that of cooperative stores. If
Holmes county produces $1,000 bales of
cotton annually, the producers are taxed
on that number $3.50 ,ooo-that is what it
costs to get the cotton from the field to
the distant factory, and it all comes out of
the farmers toll. To establish "new pro-
cess" factories sufficient to convert that
1900 bales into yarns would not cost
exceeding 100000. We will publish in
our next an interesting statement of the
operations of two small 'new process"
factor;es-one in South Carolina, the
other in North Carolina.

We have been opposed to negro suf-
trage; we look upon it as great evil; but
there is one thing practiced at elections in
some counties in this State that greatly ag-
gravates the evil. 1t is this: for candi-
dates for office to arm negroes up to the
polls and allow them to vote if they vote
for them, but 'bulldoze" those that desire
to vote for the opposition candidates. The
people that tamely submit to the rule OF
such politicians, will soon find their rights
and liberties gone

FARMERS GUIDE TO A BANK
ACC0Tl Mt

Fine carriages horses which command
at the present time a higher price rela-
lively than any other, are produced by
crossing stanch thoroughbreds upon large
handsome mares. The average farm horse
is undersized, and good carriage horses,
always in demand, are scarce.
All young stock pays for looking after
now, and not being allowed to stop grow
ing for day. This is especially true of
calves, colts and lambs. Keep them all
warm, and allow feed sufficient not only
to go towards supporting the natural
waste, but enough to develop frame, mus.
Gle and flesh. No farmer finds profit in
starving stock in winter.
Charcoal in feed will produce greater
amount of flesh and fat in poultry than
they same amount of feed without it.
A fowl killed while digestion is going
on will not be fit for market purposes, as
it will keep only a short time; therefore,
let the birds fast for at least twelve hours.
Poultry should not be plucked too soon
after killing. When feathers are pulled
while the blood is still fluid, the vescicle
at the root of each feather becomes gorged
and the skin spotted.
There is an opportunity for big profit in
raising the grade of common dairy stock
by keeping the calves of good mixers.
Every farm yard boasts of one or two
cows that are remarkable for their yield
of milk or butter, and these good traits
may be perpetuated by careful selection
of their young, whether heifers or bulls.
Considerable loss is sustained in the
dairy by failing to sufficiently protect cows
in the winter Bear in mind that every
draught of cold air and drink of ice cold
water will perceptibly check the flow Of
milk in cow. Let the chill be taken of
the water and see that there is plenty o.
it, especially after relish of salt has beer
| given.

Cotton continues to advance in price.
We advise farmers to sell at least part of
their crop as rapidly as possible. They
will find it greatly to their interest to ship
their cotton direct to T. ]. Carver, Mana
ger of the Southwestern Cooperative AS
sociation, New Orleans, and avoid as ma
ny local charges as possible. They will
save money by dealing with this Grange
institution, which has given complete sat
isfaction to all who have tried it.

THE SHANGHAI COTTON CROP

WAsHINGroN, Nov. II-Mr. Bailey,
U. S. Consul General at Shanghai, China,
IN despatch to the Department OF state,
will not be more than half the average
yield This will probably make the usual
demand in China and Japan for cotton
goods. The U. S. Consul at Odessa re-
ports to the Department of State that the
wheat crop of Russia will fall far short oi
the usual harvest, and that American
wheat must be in great demand IN al
parts of Europe.

A correspondent of the Landwlrth
writes to that journal on the subject OF
the great losses he experienced among his
sheep for years past owing to their habit
of eating wool. He tried all the remedies
usually recommended, such as bicarbonate
of soda, tartar emetic, fir tops and SO on,
without the least success, and ultimately
arrived at the conclusion that their evil
habits must be due to deficiency OF chalk

Now that the elections are over, we
hope the leading men of the Order in the
Southwest will write regularly for the
columns of THE PATRON. They can now
readily command the attention of the toll
ing masses, and accomplish immense good
for the cause by discussing Grange prin
ciples and measures. The leading farmers
in the South have been sadly remiss in
their duty to the Order in this particular.

We ferment manure for the same rea-
son that we decompose bone dust or min
eral phosphate with sulphuric acid, and
convert them into superphosphate for the
same reason that we grind our corn and
cook the meal. These processes add
nothing to the amount of the plant food
in the bones or the nutriment in the corn
They only increase its availability. So IN

the plant food in the manure more imme
