The Presidents Summer Resi-
 dcnce.


 The President will take up his sum mer residence at the Soldiers Home early next month, occupying cottage which has been set apart for number of years for the use of the President. By residing there he will have much more time to himself and will he able to take exercise. He Is a great walker, but is prevented from taking bis customary walk by want of time and an nnwillingness to attract pub lie attention by appearing on the streets. The executive mansion at Albany is mile from the Capitol and, while Governor, he was accus- toned to walk the distance three or four times day. Since he has been at the White sHouse he has taken a daily ride, but he misses the exhila- rating exerclse of good walk. Nevertheless, the President is look ing remarkably well. Miss Cleve- land will reside with him at the Sol diers' Home.

HOW TT IS TO BE DONE.
Little Rock Democrat

An esteemed correspondent of the Democrat Hon. c. K. Tobey of Pope criticises the Democrat and the Wheel Enterprise for taking the ground that the farmers of Arkan- sas can only achieve independence by keeping out of debt-by buying for cash or on short time. Our cor respondent insists that the farmers who are in debt can not get out. His doctrine is once in debt always in debt. If this be true the condition of the agricultural classes in the South is most deplorable. They are past all help. For them all new con stitutions, all laws, all reforms are idle jargon and meaningless plati- tude. If they are in debt never to emerge into the bright ligh: of inde- pendence why should they or their friends take thought of their fn- ture? But is it SO bad as that? Is their condition so abject as to admit of no hope? Is there no silver lining in the cloud? If there is none let the ''Brothers of Freedom disband, let the "Wheelers" close their lodges, let legislatures cease to enact laws and the newspapers to talk of re forms. But is the case so desperate It can not be. In every rural com munity there are men who are lnde pendent of the merchant. In every neighborhood there are farmers who give no mortgages but who "carry" themselves. In many instances these men have at one time o: another been heavily in debt. They endured mortgages and exhorbitant rates of interest and unconscionable profits on goods. But in spite of all these things they fought their way to in dependence. At the close of the war our planters were bankrupt. They began the struggle with noth ing. Many of them who had neith CT money, stock CT farming imple ments are now not only self sustain ing but in comfortable ciicumstances.
 There are instances of this kind in every community. How did these men succeed? By untiring indus try, rigid economy and general good management of their business. By making at home on the farm a great part of the hore supplies. By'"liv. ing at home" By purchasing noth- ing that could be dispensed with till the cash was in hsnd with which to buy it. By not -'over cropping" By sticking resoluteIy to business and following the most approved methods of farming. This is the way the successful farmers have achieved success. The path they have travelled is open to all. What man has done may be done by man. There IS no royal road to learning: nor is there to successful farming.
 It is granted that the farmer in Arkansas has hard lot. Our laws are defective. They hinder rather than help the planter in his struggle. They strike down credit by unreas- enable exemptions. The mortgage slavery ought to be abolished. An agricultural bureau with capable head should be established, agricul- tural schools founded and encour- aged and all information of interest to the agricultural classes freely dis seminated. The laws eau do much to help our farmers but they can do much more to help themselves. And they are doing this all the time not SO fast, perhaps, as many would like to see, but taken all in all their condition is hopeful and full of promise.

Chicago Tribune.
 The hunt for Maxwell, the sup. posed murder of Arthur Preller in St Louis, has called attention anew to the slight chance criminal has of escaping nowadays if intelligently pursued. Maxwell is supposed to be on board ship bound for Auck. land, New Zealand. The dispatch which will secure his arrest at that place, if he does not leave the ship Honolulu, will take a route few peo- pie would imagine. It's course is thus described: From St Louis the message will go to New York, thence to Cape Breton, and thence by cable to Valentia, Ireland. From Valentia 1t will cross Ireland, pass under St, Georges Channel by cable, be re peated to London, and thence by ca ble again to Lisbon, Portugal. It will next go by cable under the Mediterranean to the Island of Nal ta, and by another submarine line to Alexandria, in Egypt. It will reach Suez by land, and then go by cable under the Red Sea to Arden, in Arabia. Another cable will take it to Bombay, India. Thence il will go to Penaug, in the Malay Peninsula, again by cable to the Island of Java, from which place another cable will convey it to Port Darwin, in north Australia to Sid ney, it xill go through the South Pacific cable to Wellington, New Zealand, whence a land line will carry. it to Auckland. The cost ol the message will be $3.34 a word, a total, If the description be made full of several hundred dollars. The steamer on which Maxwell sailed should reach Auckland May lst, SC that officers will be awaiting the murderer for weeks before his arri val. A Pacific cable connecting America with the Sandwich Islands and Asa IS the only thing needed to make the circuit of the worl( complete, and to leave crimina whose description IS known, practi cally no place of concealment in { civilized land.
