The Republican National Committee,

Mr.. Chandeliers Southern outrage resa-
luton, which was adopted by the Com

that it might have been passed at any
time during the last fifteen years with
equal appropriateness and had no such
person as Malone ever existed.
So with the call of the Committee, in
its point!ess and general illusions to
free suffrage, an honest ballot and the
protection of human rights-it is still 3

And now the Republican Senatorial
caucus so far forgets the services, sacri.

candidate of his own naming and bursts
the bubble of his political Importance.
Participating in the proceedings Of
the caucus as Republican he could not
do otherwise than abide its action. He
has broken bread with the new commun-
ion and can not betray his pledges.
But he is no longer dictator OF nOmi-

A Failure.

The South Carolina Election cases
Z have fallen through for want of evil
dence to sustain them. They were
brought on rumor. and were simply SC
many attempts to prosecute Democrats
black and white who were participants
in the Congressional elections in that
State.
Judge Bond, of the United States
District Court, who presided at the
trials, is bitter Republican and not at
all inclined to favor the Democratic
defendants. Not a single Democrat
was permitted to remain on the juries
which tried them. Nevertheless, the
Government failed to convict in any
ease. The evidence was so limsy and
unreliable that Republican court and
Republican jury were obliged to
acquit.
This disposes most effectually of the
hue and cry raised by the Republican
press about Democrstic intimidation
and fraud in South Carolina The
Union League viii now have eonsid-
ersble less work to perform in recon
structing Southern State Governments.
1t will even perhaps be able to look after

pile up Republican maiorities by ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain.
Meanwhile the surplus in the Treas
ury will be considerably reduced by the
cost of these yindictive but ridiculous
prose cutions in South Carolina. In
deed it is likely they were instituted

Farming with Figures.

If a strict account were kept with
every acre of the farm, a note made OF
the acres that produce and those that
do not, it would be surprise to many
farmers to know how few OF the acres
they farm really yielded a profit, and
how many fail to return any income.
When once this is found, how easy il
would be to put the whole in way OF
paving something towards the sum that
might be realized. Some one has said
most farmers have a better method OF
farming in their heads than they put
into actual practice. This is no doubt
true. How many farmers know that
their swamp lot is. unproductive, and
by the outlay of 500 for a ditch, and
clearing. that five or ten acres would be
the best land on the farm? Why don't
they put their knowledge into practice:
That large pasture is nearly unproduct-
i've, and it only supports few sheep.
They know it, and do know if it were
plowed it could be made to produce a
most abundant crop of clover, How
many dairymen know that ten OF. their
forty cows do not pay for their keep
ing, but actually ''live" of the profits OF
the others? How many farmers know
that they do not half fertilize their
land, do not half drag, or fit the soil for
the crops. and if they would use the hoe
and cuItivator twice as much they would
get double the crop for their labor?
Why don't they do it? How many
who hastily perform their work, to ''ge
it of their hands," know as well a
Solomon could tell them that their haste
is waste, and that thorough work would
pay far better, and why don't they?
The success in farming at the present
day is not so much what is undertaken,
but what is actually performed and
completed in workmanlike manner.
Success in farming is complete, finished
methods. Anything that is worth do
ing is worth doing wen, - is an old say
ING, but farmers are not fully cognizani
of it, or else fail in following its princi
pies. The successful farmer of the
future will not be bonanza farmer

tion." but the one who farms upon bust.
