asking why farmers, although justly
admitted to be the prop of civiliza-
ton, the bone and sinew of the ma
ton, the pillars and support Of the
government, are held down and not
allowed to take proper rank as a class
in the shaping and control of public
affairs; but are made subservient to
the fractional parts of the rest of
humanity. That farmers can legis-
late, and wisely, has been proved in
times which tried mems souls' and
what has. been done we may reafona-
bly, suppose can be done again. Some
advise farmers to let politics severely
alone. to remain ignorant and quiet
on the great questions OF the day,
and to inscribe on their hay carts;
Stick 20 your business and let poll
ties be" Now, while the farmers
watchword should be, "Let all things
be done decently and in due season, "
and while we admit that it takes up
much of his time to perform his al
lotted task, he should never, under
any circumstances, degenerate from
MS ncbieness as man To the selfish
ness OF miser, nor for the sake Of
gain, give up his independence, con-
uected, as it is, with free thought,
free expression and counting as an
intelligent integer in the land in
which he lives, nor become "as a
lamb led to the slaughter" by those
who cry out, Farmers, stick to

what an ample amount Of "cheek"
these writers show who give such I'D :
vice? As an individual, l must say
that l admire their cheek for guam
tity and not for quality. All the
burdens which we, as farmers. now
bear, have been visited upon US, not
because we are not intelligent and
far seeing, but because of our lack Of
thai; one principle SO largely devel-
oped in doctors, lawyers, politicians,
railroad managers and corporation
managers and bummers, viz: Cheek.

There are come Indications of rust
and blight in parts Of Minnesota.
In Northern Iowa the crop is held to
be the best since 1879. Returns

Fearful Distress in the Black River
County.
Levees Gazing in and Stores
Swept Away.

BATON ROUGE, La, March 21.-
General York, the agent appointed
to distribute forage, telegraphs the
Governor from Troy, La, reporting
the distribution of forage on the
Black River. He says: The coun-
try is in fearful distress, and there
is much stock on the Black, Tensas,
and Little Rivers, which must be
fed to some of them. The corn and
oats shipped by the steamer st.
John, will be distributed tomorrow
on the Tensas River. General York
advises the shipment of forage for
stock on all streams above men>
tioned,j and also on Macon and
Bartholomew bayous. He reports
that the river is rising rapidly, and
says he has chartered steamer to
remove the stock.

were washed away. No particulars
have been received.
VIcKsBURG, MISS, March 21.-A
heavy wind and rain storm prevailed
here last night, and strong north
west wind is bolwing to-day, pro
ducing heavy swells on the river,
which, it is feared, will cause new
breaks in the levees. The steamer
Sallie Carney, from Deer Creek,
brings $50 head of stock from L. A.
Campbells plantation, She reports
water seven to ten inches deep on
the plantations around Campbell
vile. All boats bring large numbers
of refugees, mostly colored. La
borers at MayersvIlle are being sup
piled by planters, and they will be
ready to go to work as soon as the
water falls. Duck Port sill
continues above water, and
painting began there yesterday.
The wharf and elevator platforms
were all afoat this morning. The
Tallahatchie and Upper Yazoo
Rivers, are declining rapidly. The
section in these rivers which suf-
fered most is between Belzona and
Yazoo City, where the loss of cattle
is beyond computation. There ars a
large number of acres of land free
from water On Rosebank, Egypt,
Shell Bluff, Glen Oak, Phillipston,
Oakwood, and number of other
plantations in the Yazoo delta. At
GreenwoodI the water is falling,
though the place is still submerged,
and the court house is filed with
people.
VIcKsBURa, March 22.-The river
is falling at this point, and, also all
along the Yszoo. The Sunfower
and Tallahatchie Rivers at Chotard,
nnarly opposite Alsatia Crevasse, has
fallen about Is inches.

An agent of one of the Fall River
mills is in the city employing some
of the striking spinners. This en-.

formation OF union stiffened up the

the mill men, and matters have taken
serious turn. The corporation
