Wherever Judge Ireland goes he
receives the most hearty and enthu-
siastic welcome. This is easily ex-
planned. In the first place, he is an
able man and a good speaker, and
then he is the representative OF
principles which the people admire,
There is no half way business with
him. He is open, honest and candid
in all bis utterances, and from
present indications will undoubtedly
carry the state by largely increased
maioritv

Southern CuItIvator for september

Southern CultivatOr for September
This sterling agricultural journal
makes its appearance for the fret
fall month, more handsome and at
tractive, if possible, than ever. We
opine that the publishers imagine
that thousands Of our farmers have
been waiting the coming of the
"money season" to indulge III the
luxury of such a splendid paper.
And we doubt not they will fully
realize their expectations, for surely
the progressive farmer cannot do
without the old CultiUatOr. A
farmer recently said that he had de-
rived benefit from reading DR..
Jones' "Thoughts for the Month In
one number alone to more than re-
munerate him for years subscrip-
ton. In every issue DR.. Jones maps
out the farmers work for the month
in a mastery manner. Bill Arp con-
tributes for each issue one of his in
imitable letters. --A
In the present number the adj
dresses of Gen. w. NJ. Bronze (pro-
fessor of agriculture at Athens), and
of Judge Henderson Commissioners
of agriculture for the state of Geor-
gia), before the Georgia agricultural
convention at Marietta, are pub
lished. Both these addresses are
full of wisdom and sound advice.
The Enquiry Department" of the
CuLtiUatOT Is one of its leading fea-
lures. Any reasonable question that
is asked by farmer is answered by
Dr. Jones. This department is fuller
in the CultiUat0r than in any other
agricultural publication, north or
south.
One dollar and fifty cents sent to
James p. Harrison 81 Co., Atlanta,
will secure this journal in its enlarg-
ed and improved form, for one year.

AND now Blaine is trying to climb
up to the front again on the civil
service problem. He made speech
the other day in which he favored
making the tenure OF subordinate
officers longer and more secure than
now, but he does not believe a life
tenure wise, even If practicable
which he Is sure 1t is not. Further
more, it means a pension in the end
and its tendency must be to create a
privileged class, which is alike for
eign to the spirit and subversive OF
the principles of a republican form
of government. He believes a man
will be better officer if his conn.,
mission should expire at stated
periods, and his reappointment de-
pend upon his efficiency, and he
thinks it will prove a far easier task
to educate public opinion to the re-
newd of appointments to efficient
and valuable officers, with sufficient
salary to enable them to lay by
something for rainy day, than ii
will be to get popular consent to
life tenures with pensions to a large
civil list, constantly growing in num-
Der aud constantly provoking oppo-
sition in the popular mind.

SOME of the papers are making a
fuss about the Houston Post becom-
ing the partisan of George Washing
ton Jones. The fact Is not at all
strange it is, in fact, just what we
expected all the time. The Post is
controlled by Republicans and most
of these go to Jones as naturally as
a duck does to water, and If 1t were
not for this Republican support,
given him by e. j. Davis, 1t would
be absurd for him to remain in the
field O day.

What He May Bring About.


E. j. Davis wants himself and
Wash Jones elected in order that
the state may be relieved from bour-
bon rule, and the good old order OF
things once more brought about
said order of things being the sus-
pension of ha6eaS corpus, incarcera-
ton of citizens without charges OF
crimes against them, levy.
ing of taxes on individuals
in neighborhoods and towns
to support police quartered therein,
murder of Applewhites and
the assembling of negro militia al
the capitol to prevent the people
from seating their elected represent
atives. Davis ran the government
something in this manner when he
was governor. Wash. Jones cursed
him then, but these curses have been
changed to expressions of admira-
ton. all on account of the promised
support of the petty tyrant.

Col. TRIGa Is called the "Green.
back" candidate for the senate
When Republicans repudiate him
his call is certainly most hopeless
one. BY the by, those who moved
against him to have him elected from
Office because Of malfeassnce were
his old time Republican friends. We
are truly sorry for the gentleman,
and again ask him to take the
STATEsMAN's friendly advice and
retire before he is retired.

Col. Jones boasts that he has the
colored vote all right, owns the col
ored vote in fee simple. If the col
ored voters desire to be owned by
Col. Wash Jones it is their own
look out; this is said to be free
country, yet voters are owned as
were slaves some wears ago.

The announcement'b by one of the
surgeons engaged in the official ex-
animation of Guiteau's brain that
the report of the experts on the SUBJ
ject is going to be unanimous will
doubtless take the world by surprise,
and it must tend, also, to shake pop

Nearly one-thir6 of the territory
of the United States is interested in
mining. During twelve years past
more than 1876, 100000 of gold and
silver have been produced. In the
struggle for supremacy between
Nevada, California and Colorado
the Centennial state has come of
victorious, furnishing last year $23,.
600, 600, while California and Nevads
contributed only $19,000,0O0 and
SIS, 100000. Colorado is claiming
supremacy in coal and iron in the
near future, but that is rather wild
claim.

The suffering in Germany for lack
of employment is great, and the nat
ural gam in population is about
100000 year. Under such circum-
stances, several German statesmen
are convinced that emigration is in
evitable, but they have begun to ar
que that the great stream ofpeople
pouring out might better be utilized
for the benefit of Germany than in
enriching America, England and
many other countries all over the
world. But colonization has not yet
been favorably looked upon by the
German government, whose aim is
the Capitalization of its powers with
in its own compact domain.

The losses to the New England
farmers by the long and severe
drought this year are estimated by
the New Hampshire board of agri-
culture at 81, 100000 on the corn
crop, and $S,0O0,O00 on farms, gar
dens and orchards. Perhaps, after
all, Mr.. Blaine's claims that to the

One of Prince Bismarck's pet
schemes is to substitute biennial
budgets in place of the existing
annual ones. All his bills in this
direction hitherto have been rejected
by the reichstag. The undaunted
chancellor now purposes achieving
his desire by submitting stimuli
taneously the budgets for two con-
secutive years, that for 1884, osten-
sibly only by way of experiment.
All sections of the Liberals have
already plainly declared their inten-
ton to reject this novel proposal.

Cotton Seea OIL.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, in explain
ing why the south has not prosper
ed financially, charges 10 on our
wasteful system of cultivating and
handling our staple crops, particu-
larly cotton. II the Planters Jour
nal be correct, he has even more
foundation for this charge of waste
fulness than he himself thought.
Mr.. Atkinson complains, for in
stance, that we allow much of the
wealth that lies in cotton seed
TO be lost by throwing away the
seed, instead Of pressing the oil from
it. The journal asserts that even
when we extract the oil we lose two
fifths of it. In ton of seed, it saws,
there are sixty gallons of cotton seed
Oil, distributed as follows: Obtain
ed from the kernel by the mill,
thirty-five gallons remaining in the
cake, twenty per cent of its weight,
say nineteen gallons; remaining in
the hulls, six gallons. All the oil
left in the hulls is lost, while that in
the cake is sold at Ss2750 per ton.
This is certainly heavy loss, as
heavy as the sugar planter meets
with who grinds only a portion of
the sugar from his cane, and burns
up a large share of his crop in the
form of bagasse. IL is a loss that
the Journal thinks inexcusable, be-
cause it can be avoided by the use of
an ordinary crusher and benzine, at
a saving of nearly fifty per cent, a
system that enables every planter to
make his own oil, and which will in
crease the value of the seed through
out the south. This plan, it is
claimed, will not impoverish the
soil, as selling the cotton seed does.
The hulls and cake contain large
quantities ofpotash and phosphorus,
and if they be returned to IL there
is no danger of its impoverishment.
The oil, indeed, can be sold without
affecting in the least the fertility of
the land; 1t is the loss of the hulls
that causes the impoverishment.
The plan proposed by the Journal,
which is suggested to II by Professor
Hilyard, of the University OF Mis-
sissIppi, is simply to crush the seed,
cover them with benzine until IL has
thoroughly leached them, and then
separate the benzine from the oil,
which can be easily done in still.
This process, Professor Hilyard de-
clares, is in vogue in Europe to ex-
tract fats from old bones. Its cost
would be very slight, not more than
the value of the six gallons of oil
extracted from the hulls and which
are lost under the present system.
Professor Hilyard, who has tried
this plan of extracting the oil from
the seed, declares that it Is practica-
BILE and cheap, aud urges all cotton
planters to try the experiment and
prove the truth Of his claim.
