the laws of the future state from those

ical productions from the sterility OF

we shall live in it, and that God will

There are now said to be in farmers
hands and at the various grain mar.
kets something over 200, 900, 900 bush
els, which mustNbe reduced by exporta.
ton and domestic consumption to
very low point before the new crop
can be placed in the market.
In view of the possible outbreak of
hOstilities between England and Rus
sia, or even the likelihood of such an
event, the export demand must large
ly increase and the prices advance in
like ratio. Farmers may anticipate
larger prices for the new crop. and
should make every effort to nurse their
enfeebled crops into vigorous vitality
by narrowing and manuring. Nor
should they be greatly discouraged
because of the imperfect stand. The
very fact that it has been able to
withstand the vicissitudes of such a
severe winter demonstrates that what
remains is well and deeply rooted and
will tiller in an extraordinary manner.
1t is by no means uncommon under
such circumstances for a wheat plant
to send up twenty or thirty sprouts
and mature very large heads. Sc
while the average has been greatly re
duced it should be the purpose Of the
farmer by the most judicious manage
ment of what remains to- obtain the
greatest possible result.-American.

A PERMANENT EXPOSITION

We noticed some days ago sug-
gestion in the Nashville Union which
augurs much for the progress of Ten
nessee. 1t was in effect that if the
people of Nashville would provide a
suitable building for the purpose,
Capt. McWhirter, our Commissioner
of Agriculture, might be induced to
bring the exhibit of Tennessee now
at the Worlds Fair in New Orleans,
and set it up there as permanent
exposition of the States resources and
productions. This would be mutu-
ally beneficial to Nashville and the
State at large. 1t would make. Nash
vile centre of attraction and start
ing point for all persons coming into
the State seeking new homes, and
every county irf the State could thus
place before theeyes of allimmigrants
full display of its products and re-
sources. The exhibits could be in.
creased or renewed at pleasure, and
altogether it would be of immense
value to the State. We hope the mat
ter will be carried to full consum'

THE TROUBLE AT NASHVILLE.

Tennessee's law makers have been
having high old time at Nashville
this week. The Republican men,
bers of the Senate, to prevent the pas
sage of the registration bill, absented
themselves from the Senate on Mon
day, reducing that august body below
quorum, and thus rendering any
kind of legislation impossible. The
Speaker instructed the sergeant-at-
arms to arrest the absent members
anywhere they could be found, and
force their attendance upon the Sen
ate. Senator Ramsey, of the 33d
district, was overhauled late Monday
afternoon, and brought to the Senate
Tuesday. Some time Tuesday night
the balence of them were discovered
in a room inf the Maxwell House, but
they resisted arrest, and refused to al
low the sergeant-at-arms or any OF
his deputies to enter the room. The
sergeant-at-arms placed guards at the
door, and shut off all communication
between the Senators and the outside
world for the balance of Tuesday
night. Wednesday provisions were
lowered in baskets to the Senators
from the windows above their room
and during the day communication
was established by means of a rope
telephone stretched across the street
The matter has created the liveliest
sensation Nashville has had in n long
while, and is quite an exciting game
