The ErIanger Syndicate.

The company of capitalists which
is known as The Erlanger syndic ate
are attracting great attention at
present, in view of the tact that
they have recently leased the Cin-
einnati Southern Railroad, "a great
thoroughfare which extends
through the breadth of our State.
TIE syndicate is composed of a
bumDer OF European capitalists,
With Mr.. Erfanger, an immer sely
wealthy gentleman, al their head
They own and control a complete
asystem of railways in the South,
and by the investment of their cap
ltal and their energy and enter
prise, they are doing much TO build
ap the waste places OF the South,
and to make the whole Southern
country blossom as rose
The history of the formation of
the ErIanger syndicate is not with
out a tinge OF romance. During
the war Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana,
was Confederate Embassodor to
France, and was accompanied TO
that country by bis beautiful and
attractive daughter. young lady
Of rare graces aud attainments, who
reigned u belle in the gay Partisan
sa CHS, and was sought in marriage
by numbers Of titled aud aristo-
cratic gentlemen. Her heart was
won, however, by Mr. Erlanger,
and they were married. After the
war she succeeded in enlisting his
sympathies for the upbuilding OF
the stricken and PROSTATE South,
and be organized company for The
purpose OF investing capital in de-
veloping the resources of the South

in this State, and so they do every
4 here, where there is system of
] mortgage liens. 1t is the very
thing for the merchant. Under IFS
Eoperation be has grown rich, and
like Farmer" be has become a
I farmer; and if be does rot own the
/ cattle upon a thousand hills, he has
become the posessor of many poor
farmers lands and homes, horses,
mules, cattle; and when. as Ian dlord

''poor farmers" they have turned
out) standing upon his vide do>
mains, overlooking fields white
with the cotton which honest and
'poor farmers" and their half-clad
and half-fed children working un der
the shadow of mortgage that lie
destined TO absorb their years hard
earnings are diligently engaged in
}gathering the crop, he can exclaim,
not with honest exultation however,
Il am monarch of all / survey"
| Thus, under the operations of the
iniauitous Agricultural Lien Law. s,
the tnrns in the wheel f-fortune
has brought the poor merchant to
the top and carried the we'll to-do
| farmer down until he has become a
"hewer OF wood and drawer of wa
| ter" for the former, and the Ones
horse pedlar, of other days, has be-
come the purse proud owner OF.
broad acres that under just laws he
would never have acquired. But
the law has been used, and always
to the detrime osthe "asee,h and
to desist from its use or let it severe
ly alone is where the "sense" comes
in; and that class of "poot farmers"
who decline to be entrapped by its
provisions, are the men who have
held on to their property and who
are to-day no worse off for its ex-
istence
If there never had been a Lien
law, for the exclusive benefit of the
merchant, either in Mississippi or
Alabama, the farmers would not
have been so poor ana dependent
as they are to day. To those in
iquitous statutes they owe all their
misfortunes, while the unscrupulous
merchant, yielding to the te,npta-
ton to take advantage Of the farm
ers helpless condition, has grown
rich, arrogant and powerful upon
their i'll gotten gains. s..
The Agricultural Lien Law, as
we find it in the Code of this State,
separate and distinct from the Mort
gage Act, is, beyond doubt, one of
the best laws in our Statute books,
for it affords the landlord and the. :.
tenant, as we'll as the laborer, al.
the protection that the principles of
legal equity demand; bnt the law,
authorizing mortgages and deeds of
trust on crops (Chapter 81 Revised
Code OF 1S80) should be expunged
as one of the worst that ever cursed
the farmer, whether landlo, d or
tenant. PATRON.

The proceedings of the present
session Of the National Grange will
be looked for with great interest by
the members throughout the entire
Country and by all farmers who feel
an interest in the Order. We do not
doubt that the general expectations
will be fully realized. The members
the National Grange stand in the
t'ont rank Of American thinkers,
and they will be encouraged to the
adoption every measure needed
to promote the interests of the Or
der by the splendid gain that has
been made during the present year
IN most of the States both in num-
bers and efficiency and by the
marked Improvement in the spirit
OF the membership An active. eff
cent lecture system in all the States
under the supervision of the Master
ana Lecturer of the National
orange would keep up interest in
the cause and greatly promote its
success. It is to be hoped that the
Master and Lecturer will be kept
IN the field during the entire year.

The cotton crop of 1892 is turn
ing out much shorter than it was es-
timated it would few weeks back.
1t will fall considerably below the
crops of 1881. The latest we have
seen in reference to it is three esti-
mates made by three reliable and
always well informed establishments.
The estimate of the Agricultural
Bureau and Bradstreet puts the
crops at 5,620,13O bales. That of
Latham, Alexander & Co., puts it at
about 4,f09,287 bales. The lowest
estimate made during October put il
at abort 5, 5,250, 900 bales. This esti-
mate is now admitted to be much too
hign, and the impression prevails that
tl4at of Latham, Alexander & Co., will
rove to be very nearly correct.

Gitteau's Trial.
Columbus Index, Miss

SoluiIlOuS 1nueX, MISS.
This affair, which has been going
on for upwards of a week, looks In
the published accounts of it, more
like farce than a tragedy. The
prisoner is playing the game of a
man determined to make 1t appear
that he is crazy, and his counsel,
who are very ordinary men in every
sence are helping him all they can.
The capers he cutsup every day in
court bear on their face the evidence
that they are premeditated and
carried Oh fer purpose. That
they are we'll understood by the
presiding judge seems to be plain.
The question is will they deceive
the jury, and by awakening feel
ing of sympaty, ID maudlin sentim-
ent among the members oft, bring
about verdict in the culprit's
favor. We would not be at all
surprised if the case which is be-
coming tiresome to the whole
country-resulted in way to cheat
Justice o1t of its du~. Que thing is
certain, that is, if Gitteau escapes
punishment on the plea of insanity
which he has put up our criminal
laws will become in great measure
a dead letter. Give to the criminal
Glasses becoming more numerous
and bolder every day-tbrough
such result, assurance that they
can commit murder and escape
punishment by pleading insanity
and there will be no protection
whatever left to society. The law
abiding classes will be left at the
mercy of the thieves and murderers
who infest every community in the
Union. This case of Gitteau's
should bedecided on its merits
regardless Of foolish sentiment lii
the prisoners favor-becauSe of its
prominence and the attention it has
attracted. In this connection the
words used by Mr.. Garfield himself
in reference to case similar to
G;tteau's will be found of Interest,
Judge Payne of Ohio, made "A
charge 70 a jury in 1871 in which
he disposed of this insanity plea in
a mastery manner. His charge at
tracted Mr.. Garfeld's attention aud
he wrote him letter in which he
said "The whole country owes you
a debt of gratitude for brushing
away the wicked ahsurdity which
has lately been palmed off on the
country. Had it gone on much
further, all that man would need
70 secure himself from the charge
of murder would be TO rave a little
and tear his hair a little, and then
kill his man. hope you will prin'
your excellent charge in pamphlet
form and send it TO all the Judges

The best feature of THE PATRON
IS its letters from tile members of
the Order, which are always inter-

great clearness and force the evil
effects of the agricultural lien law.
Indeed, we never issue number OF

is our desire to make this journal a
