One of the natives OF New Mexico took q
new departure in the matter OF agricultural
implements. Instead of the sharpened
stick of his forefathers, he bought an i'm
proved American plow and broke up his
land. But the lack of rain caused failure
of his crop. So he went back to the pillow
OF his daddies, sprinkled the ground with
holy water, and the rain came and pro-
duced an abundant yield. Since then the
neighborhood abhors a new-fangled pillow,
and improved implements would stir up
riot. So much for superstition.
The yield of amber cane in the northern
states will not average over ten to twelve
tons per acre. A Louisiana planter reports
Of the yield of six leading plantations in
Louisiana for the year 1879, that the
number of tons OF cane per acre varied
from seventeen to twenty-three, averaging
u little over nineteen. The number Of
pounds of sugar made from q ton of cane
varied from SO to 10, averaging little
over 100. The average was over 2, 900 pounds
of sugar per acre, besides the molasses. In
dry Egypt, the cane averages TWENTY-FIVE
tons per acre; in Brazil, TWENTY-FIVE to thirty
tons per acre; in CUBA, thirty to thirty-fiye
tors per acre; in Barbados, thirty six tons
per acre. Two tons of sugar per acre is a
common production in the tropics. In many
regions the production is much more than
that.

merchant and manufacturer, as well rs
every one else at all interested in our city
and its growth, ought to become member
OF the exchange. As We now have railways
running in every direction, it is believed
much can be accomplished by concert of
action. In these days trade will come to no

see all other branches of trade in our city
rapidly increasing each and every year.
There is not one which has not doubled
within the past three years except cotton.
That has actually declined. There is a
cause fer this. Our dry goods and grocery
men work-they work day after day, in sea-
son and out, to extend their business. No
effort has been made to increase cotton.
The proposed exchange will do good in two
mai ways; 1t will first establish rules
and principles of equity and honor
among the cotton men Of the city,
and guarantee fair dealing with ali
who bring or ship cotton here for
sale, and, secondly, push the trade of our
city far beyond where it now extends. The

present. The signers will, of course, be
there unless providentally prevented.

During the year the excess of exports
over imports was about 100000 pounds, so
that the consumption was about O. ,O0O, 900
pounds; the stocks at the close of the wear
in producers dealers and manufacturers
hands being probably lower than at the cor
responding time last year.
A statistician has Just produced a serie. OF
comparisons between the commerce, the
railroads, the shipping, tonnage and carry
ing power of the world, and contrasts the
work accomplished in 1880 with 1850. If
the commerce of the globe represented
$3.50 100000 thirty years ago. in 1880 it
was Sl4 ,4O5, 100000, or there was the amazing
increase OF $40 per cent. To carry thi.
augmented quantity, railroads have had
1898 per cent. more Of mileage, while tonnage
Of ships has been made larger bv a
capacity represented in the thirty years by
III per cent. In 1850, with 6005,00O Of
ships tonnage, the carrying power was
S,46i 600 tons; last year it was Is, 720,0 900,
with carriage capacity of "a ,200,0D0 tons,
or with the wonderful augmentation of 304
per cent. Representing it in another light,
for every 100000 worth of commodiue,
carried in 1880 there were fifty-two miles of
railroad and a carrying capacity on the
water of $500 tons. In 1880 these good,
could be moved by seventy-sevon miles OF
railroad and 1900 tons of shipping 1t is
the introduction OF steamships which has
so visibly increased the commerce, not so
much by means of their tonnage as by
their ability to multiply their carrying
power.

Two Complimentary Items.
Alexandria Gdzett,

The Geological Survey of the States IS
been secured in the Sundry Civil Bill and
thus the almost inestimable mineral wealth
of Virginia will be laid before the world in
a definite shape. For this the State can
thank Senator Davis, OF West Virginia, who
has worked for it necessarily for the last
three years.
Three States are directly interested in
the reelection of Senator Davis, OF West
Virginia-his own, Virginia and Maryland.
The two latter don't presume even to re-
commend in the former what she shall do
in the case, but they tell her that il she does
re-elect the Senator they will be greatly
obliged to her, for he is not only as faithful
and efficient a representative as it is posi-
bic for her to have in the Senate, but he
also looks after their interests and does
everything he can to promote them. Owing
to a recent remarkable condition Of politi-
cal affairs in Virginia she will have no true
representative in the Senate during the
next Congress, and she is therefore special
ly DESTROYS Of Mr.. Davis reelection be-
cause her people know that in him they
have an efficient friend upon whom they
can always rely. 1t is q selfish hope, but
it nevertheless reflects honor upon both Mr..
Davis and his own State.

Keep The Common People Posted

Writ County Mentor.
\ matter which should commend itself
to the favorable consideration OF the next
West Virginia Legislature is the publica-
ton through the newspapers Of the State
of the most important laws enacted each
session, or at least correct synopsis there
of. There are many such laws of which it
is vitality important that the people of the
State should be thoroughly acquainted,
which the masses can be reached but the
newspapers. The bound volumes Of the
acts of the Legislature find their way into
court houses and lawyers offices, and with
comparatively few exceptions, no where
else The great body of the people know
nothing OF the law except what they can
pick up occasionally from the papers or
from the lips of a neighbor, whose mem.
ory and understanding may both be faulty.
If laws are made for the government
of the people, the people should know
what those laws are, and it is the rankest
injustice to punish a man for violsting a
law OF which he may never have heard.
During the late session of the Legislature a
number of laws were euacted directly at-
fecting the people, and it is Of the first i'm
portance to them to understand these laws.
In Maryland the most important laws are
published after every session of tine Legis-
lature in one newspaper in each county. 1t
would be we'll for West Virginia to initiate
her sister State in this.

Tide OF Immigration.

<nuduetphlu LfHaes-
The Bureau of Statistics has just issued
its annual report, showing the total immi-
grafton to the United States for the year
ending June 80, lSS2. Its first and most
notable feature has reference to the enorm-
Gus proportions which this foreign influx
has assumed. The total immigration for
the current year amounts to 7S9,0oS, or
1882 more than last year, when the high
est total was reached ever known in the
history Of this country. Some idea OF the
relative amount of this foreign addition to
our populotion may be gathered by the
statement that four years of such increase
would aggregate . number equal to the
total population of the United States at

THE Herald thus estimates the chances

THE Herald thus estimates the chances
of Gov. CORNELL for the Republican
nomination for reelection in New York:
"The action of the Republican State
committee is not calculated to give Mr..
Cornell much comfort. He and his
friends were anxious that the State
convention should be held at as early
a date as possible. His opponents in
the committee succeeded in carrying an
amendment postponing the meeting to
a date later than the Cornell party had
agreed upon. The vote is significant
for the reason that it discloses Mr.. Cor
nelPs actual strength in the inner coun-
ellis of his party. His machine has
not been able to capture the State COM
mittee. Will it capture the convention?
1t is evident that the Governor has q
difficult road to travel, and that his
nomination cannot be accomplished as
easily as he supposed it could be few
months ago. The chances now are all
against him."
