FARMERS IN COUNCIL.
A Meeting OF Distinguished PIow Boy
in Pennsylvania


in Pennsylvania
Those eminent sgriculturists, Senators
Cameron, BaYard, Edmunds, PendletOn
and Hon. Simon Cameron, Hon. Samuel
J. Randall, Charles A. Dana, George w.
Childs and others, says the Philadelphia
EUeRiHg Neaes, partOok Of their monthly
dinner at the regular meeting OF the
Farmers Club, at the home Of that horny
handed son Of toll, Col. James Duffy, OF
Marietta. Pa, yesterday.
The difference, however, between Col.
Duffy and most Of the other members OF
the club is that he is really practical
farmer. and provides the dinners that he
serves from the products Of his own farm.
while most Of the remaining FARMERS"
inquire tor the COW that gives the butter
milk, think that potatoes grow on the tops
of the vines, and in their garden expert
ments have been suspected of replanting
their beans because the wrong end, In
their judgment, came up first. The state
ment that one OF the members OF the cIuD
gave away some valuable blOOded cows
because he discovered that they had not
any upper teeth, is not accurate. lie did
not give away the cows. He intended to
do so, scOrning heeXpense, in the interest
of that noble cause, the breeding OF per-
feet cattle, had not his hired man con-
WINGED him by satisfactory evidence that
cows never had any upper teeth. But
when this distinguished stock-raiser sent
this man to hunt up and purchase stall
lion mule, the man got disguised and quit
his service. And as the member didn't
limit him in price, and freely offered to
pay all his expenses, he has been wonder
ing ever since what under the sun that
man left for.

Florida Politics.

We have published several letters from
correspondents in Florida respecting the
GubernatOrial contest in that State, and
have received quite a number that we
have declined TO publish. The letters we
declined TO publish were not. in our opin-
ion, calculated 70 promote the best inter
ests OF the Democratic party Of Florida.
Their purpose was to damage the pros
poets Of Gubernatorial candidates, out
their tendency, if published, would have
been to break the party into factions. and,
in that way, TO weaken II. We 90
not wish 10 aid in weakening the
party. Our aim is 70 strengthen it and
promote its welfare. Democrats Of Flor
ida cannot afford to indulge in crimina-
tons and determinations. Their hold on
the state is not so strong that it cannot be
broken. Indeed, unless they are united
and harmonious they may not only
lose their electoral ticket but may
lose control OF the state. 1t is necessary
TO bring out a full vote at the cleo
ton. and this can hardly be
done if there are bitter faction fights.
Many Northern Republicans have settled
in the State since the last general election,
who. while they viii probably vote the
Republican national ticket, will, to
marked extent, vote with the Democrats
on State and local matters. because the
Democrats represent the intelligent and
governing classes. II, however, bitter
and vituperatiye canvass precedes the
nomination Of the state ticket they may
be influenced TO cast their ballots with the
Republicans even in State and local
matters. There is nothing gained by
attacks on the candidates, and much
harm is done TO the party. Charges ana
accusations, unless OF heinous character
and proven, seldom damage a candidate
prospects. Doubtless any one Of those
named in connection with the Governor
ship would make good Governor. We
are anxious to see good nominations made
in Florida, and are ready to help do what
we can to accomplish that objects We
are not willing, however, to aid in pro-
noting dissensiOns and creating bad
| feeling.

We have several times questioned the
wisdom OF the drummer's tax. There is
reason to think that, it does our city more
harm than good. The Eagle and Phenix
Manufacturing Company, at Columbus,
Georgia, find that they cannot afford to

toners in Savannah, by means of a circu-
lar, they say:

reduction in the tax, of your city, directed

our visit being to jObbers only, is never In
excess of one day. This Onerous levy
prevents US from sending any one to you

in missionary work. She gave beauti-

work OF woman in her sphere in society and

woman in Georgia in teaching the young
to walk in right paths, cheering the sick,
raising up the fallen, and encouraging all
with whom she has come in contact to
lead purer and better life.

A RepubIioan contest over Hotels

n kepuD1Can contest over HONeAs.
The contest in the Republican party is
no longer over men, says a Washington
special, but over hotels, and the question
at pl esent is as to the choice of headquar-
ters for the campaign. Elkins, who has
set up business as a boss since Blaine's
nomination, wants to have the campaign
conducted from the rooms on the Twenty
fourth street side of the Fifth Avenue HO-
tel, which were used four years ago by
Chester A. Arthur, candidate for Vice
President, and Chairman of the Central
Committee of the State of New York.
But while Elkins was nominating
Blaine, Ed Stokes was in Chicago, with
Jim Butler, formerly Appointment Clerk
Of the Treasury, and Frank Sperry, priv
ate secretary of Secretary Folger, These
gentlemen were Ostensibly for Arthur,
but were really for the Hoffman House,
and succeeded in securing pledges from a
majority of the members of the new Re-
publican committee to vote TO have the
campaign headquarters at that hotel.
Their business was not suspected until
Elkins began to make a canvass on his
own account for the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
and when he discovered that the work had
been done, he began to write letters to the
members Of the committee pointing out
the danger of association with the man
who killed Jim Fisk.
