Changing 10 the Republican
Party,

w. w. MCFARLAND, until re-
Gently a member Of the law firm
Of Shipman, Barlow, Laracque Il
Macfarland, was reported in a
Washington dispatch in the Trib-
une as having decided to sever
his connection with the Demo
cratic party, Of which he has long
been a member. Mr.. Macfarland
is personally acquainted with
Gen. Garfield and will support his
administration. A Tribune re-
porter called upon him yesterday
to inquire his reasons for the
change.
"You wish to know why | have
decided to support the incoming
Republican administration" said
Mr.. Macfarland. II will tell you
briefly. | do not know what the
principles Of the democratic par.
ty are at present ii it has any. |
know what the principles of GER
tain individual democrats, like
Mr.. Bayard, for example are, and
| have agreed and still agree
with them. But as for the politi-
cal factor, the party, it seems to
me to have been for many years
afraid to be found in possession
Of any principles lest they might
prevent it from successfully
counting the varying breezes Of
popular feeling and thus preju-
dice it with the people as a sutton
for office. A political party has
no right to ask to be entrusted
with power without frankly tell
ing the people what it proposes
to do with that power, and hon
estly proceeding to do it, if the
people approve and entrust it
with government. Courage and
honesty are after all the most po-
tent and successful forces in pol
itics.
THE Republican party has
(perhaps as much by accident as
design, but that does not matter)
has, in my judgement possessed
itself Of the best principles OF the
ancient democratic faith, and has
moreover, grown wiser and more
conservative with age. There are
some of its tenants from which |
reserve leave to dissent, but, |
approve Of the main current OF its
policy and action. While ! do
not believe in sentimental as op
posed to practical politics, | do
believe in perfect independence
in thought and action, it has
seemed to me that what little in
nuence may have, can be made
more effective in promoting my
own views Of public policy by
openly acting with the Republi-
cans as one Of the party, and one
(of the few, perhaps,) who does
not want and would not take Of
fee"

A contributor to the Agricultural
Department of the New Orleans

for the destruction of coco. It may
be worthy of a trial: "Plow the
soil as early in the spring as posi-
BILE; replow in the month of April
and SOW the land broadcast in peas
at the rate of one busbel per acre.
The vines will shade out the coco
the first year to such an extent that
scarcely o blade will be visible the
following season. Should any make
its appearance repeat the operation.
This is the only practical method
We know of to get rid OF coco. The
vines may be used for hay, and
nothing will be lost"

Storage for grain is not obtain

In Cincinnati storage in elevators

ALLIGATOR HUNTING.

The locker on in GretEe is apt to
regard with lively surprise the sight
of an eight or ten foot alligator
tied like pig and hauled by in a
wagon from the 3ayous below.
With ali The ;I.rea.l that strangers
regard this hide, US looking animal,
the task of catching and tying is not
accompanied by near SO great risk
as catching pig. There are
some men who make a bust
uess ofalligator catching, and y siu-
gle one of them can without diff
Guilty catch and hiud an alligator
ten feet long. Their method OF
procedure is to find them in shall
low water, which is thsn stirred
and made as muddy rs possible.
The alligators are by this means
compelled to lift their heads above
the surface. The large ones es-
pecially do this very deliberately. A
lasso or loop of rope is then
dropped over their heads aad they
are drawn ashore and made fast to
a tree, to be bound at leisure.
The hunting of alligators for
their hides is also becoming bust
of no mean importance, as the finer
qualities OF alligator leather are
coming to be extensively used for
the manufacture of kid. gloves.
For this purpose, the skins of such
as are about two feet long are pre-
ferred, as they can all be worked
into gloves. while of the larger ones
only the thin parts OF the under sur
face Of the body can be so used.
The ruling price for the hides, is
about seventy-flve cents apiece.
They are hunted usually at Light.
with lanterns, just as deer are.
They will gaze at the light until the
hunters in skiffs approach within a
few feet of their whereabouts. when
they are dispatched by shot be-
tween the eyes. They are then
grappled with hook carried along
for the purpose. and put into the
boat, or if too large for that are
drawn ashore.
When an alligator is wounded,
he will no longer stay under water
for any length of time, but viii con-
Time 10 come to the surface until
killed. They are we'll supplied with
very powerful musk, which they
emit profusely when = wounded,
and which has for many persons all
agreeable ordor. This with proper
preparation might become an arti-
