GOrham at It Again.
TO MAKE A CANVASS FOR THE VACANT SECRE
TARYSHIP OF THE SENATE.

TARYSHIP OF THE SENATE.
Especial dispatch to the Philadelphia TinesJ
WAsHIXGTON, July % The death OF Sec
retary-of.the.Senale Burch serves TO start
the spoiIS issue on lis legs again. II has
been a question ever since the deadlock Of
the Senate was broken whether 4 renewal
OF that memorable engagement would be
made by either party, and what would be
its probable outcome. Since the election OF
Lapham and Miller might affect the issue 1t
has been suggested that by strict cOnstruc-
ton OF rules their credentials would be
subject 10 strict examination on the
New York technicality. With both OF
them admitted there would he the same
evenness between parties and the Vice
President would have the casting vote. The
conditions are changed somewhat. There
were Democratic senators who insisted on
re0pening the fight just where II was left
off. Now that there is an actual vacancy in
the principal Senate Office the plea they con-
Quoted that fight upon will not hold good.
This was that the Offices are already acccpta-
bly, filed. II is understood within the last
twenty-fOur hours that Mr.. GOrham, with
bis usual impudence, will immediately begin
an active canvass among the Republican
senators IN his own behalf, eXhOrting them
TO stand by him and Malone Oh the princi.
ole OF an honest ballot and fair count. In
case they decide 10 do so a very pretty
.quabble will open the regular session.
There are Republicans here who think the
whole Malone ticket will be dropped and a
new set OF men brought up in place Of Cor
ham and Riddl6berger. This, however,
admittedly depends upon the inteTYenin 8
Virginia election.

SOUTHERN FARXS. The process Of sub
dividing The large plantations into smaller
farms is going on steadily IN the South, even
in the States where the Old system had taken
the deepest hold. The Woodworking farmer,
who follow, the plough himself, is gradually
crowding out the luxurious planter, who
IN the ante-belum days scarcely took the
trouble to direct the operations Of his Ia
bOrers. I'm Mississippi, for instance, there
were 42,S40 plantations IN 1860. and the
average number Of acres IN each was go.
Ten years later there were GS.023 farms, the
average area OF each being 1913 acres. In
1880 the number OF farms was 10 2Oj, ave-
raging 1S5 acres each. While the area Of
cultivated land is less than il was in 1860,
yet the production Of cotton j. nearly twice
a. great. Tue census OF 1890 will doubt
less show a still greater change in the do.
nestle economy Of the South, aS indicated
by a larger number Of landowners aud Il

How to Make q Tramp,

Next to spending money that you
meant to save there is nothing in the
world 80 easy to do as to make tramp.
Select any personal acquaintance who
loses his situation-and there are many
such-and when he comes to you to tell
you Of his troubles, supposing you to be
q friend, devote your time entirely to
explaining to him the various steps by
which he reached his present condition.
Tell him you are sorry, if you like, but
show him distinctly that you want to get
away from him as soon as possible.
When next he calls upon you, If in his
desperation he forgets his last experience
so far as to call, be careful to be very
busy and unable to talk with him. Cut
him severely II he wants to borrow
money and discourage him if he pnfolds
any new business plan. If men in your
own business circle chance to mention
him In your presence speak condescend-
ingly about him. Advise your wife not
to call at his house, for fear she may lose
caste by visiting bankrupt, and if your
children have been in the habit of visit
ing his family devise method of dissuad-
ing them. II you see him coming along
the sidewalk as If he would meet you,
look the other way. Do not invite him
to any little party such as he has often
attended at your house. If the foregoing
directions are faithfully followed and
your friends act like you, as most of
them may be depended upon to do, the
chances are that the poor fellow, il he
does not soon find employment in til,
city, will send his wife home to her
mother, make some excuse to get out Of
town in search of mythical business
chance, and then slowly but surely de-
generate into tramp; for what else can
he do?-NeU York Herald.

informed me that the Alcalde of the

we must be on our guard, for the Indians
