Farm Machinery in Germany.

The following figures in relation to
machinery used on German farms,
taken from a recently published vol
ume of imperial statistics, are interest
ing at the present time: OF 5,276, ,S44
farms, only 391, TAG used machinery at
all Of these, S36 used steam ploughs,
6S,S42 sowing machines, 1876 mow-
ing machines, and 374,057 used steam
or other threshing machines. Thus
not much over per cent used ma
chinery at all, and of these by far the
larger proportion only the threshing
machine. Three-fourths of the whole
agricultural industry used no machin-
cry, 100000 peasants dispensing with
it altogether. The farms between 25
and 125 acres, numbering roughly 6OO,-
900, employed in round figures 21S,OOO

IS A CANDIDATE.

Major Kearby now announces that
he is a candidate for congress against
Hon. Joe Abbott the Democratic
nominee. lie is a first-rate man, and
will make as strong race for con-
gress as any Independent could in this
district, but ON a count Of the votes in
November, he will be found about as
far from the goal as he now thinks his
opponent is. Major Kearby has made
appointments to speak at u dozen or
more places in the district, and will no
doubt get larger vote than if Judge
Abbott was well and able to meet him
on the stump. The Democrats OF the
district should see to it that their NOM
inee is represented during his sickness
at all of Kearby's appointments. 1t
will not do for the district which has
been so ably and proudly represented
by Olin Wellborn to fall into the hands
of the Independents.

Cotton Manufactures.

Did you ever make calculation OF
how much Texas loses every year BY
shipping off her cotton crop and then
shipping back the manufactured goods?
1t is in the neighbornood of $4,000
900. This is handsome sum of money
to be wrung from the toll and sweat
Of the agricultural masses, especially
when there is no necessity for it. We
want cotton mills in the State to man.
ufacture the product our farmers work
so hard to make, and il is the extreme
Of folly not to have them. Here is q
mission for the Farmers Alliance
They can build cotton mills, and by so
doing get better price for their cot
ton, get the cotton goods they need at
a cheaper price, bring more population
to the State Of skilled w0rkmen, open
n new field of industry for hundreds
and thousands in our midst who need
work, and produce better market for
the meat, breadstufls, vegetables, poul-
try. fruit, etc, they raise. Let the
farmers of Texas take the lead i'll this
matter. and then other States will fall
into line, and directly the protective
tariff, in so far as cotton goods are
concerned, will be killed dead and the
monopolies of New England will be
given their death blow.

TEyAs this year presents the most
quiet and non-partisan State campaign
possibly ever known in the Union.
This general Indifference or general
satisfaction. whichever it may be
termed, is compliment to the men
who compose the Democratic State
ticket. They are all able and conserv-
alive men. Their ability and political
integrity has won for them the nomi-
nations from the great partyin-power
of Texas, and yet their worth and
conservatism has won for them so
much of the confidence and respect
of the opposing parties that
there is hardly enough interest in the
defeat of the Democratic nominees to
keep full ticket in the field. Ross,
Wheeler Il Co. will be elected to adj
minister the affairs Of this State by
100000 majority.

NO HARM IN KISSING.

The waters kiss the pebbly shore
The winds all kiss the hills;
The sunbeams kiss the tulip bud
For the odor II distils
The dewdrops kiss the rose at morn,
The cereous dew ut eve;
The fern and flower encircling clasp
In mystic beauties weave.
The moonbeams kiss the cloud ct night,
The star gems kiss the sea,
While shadows dreamily and soft
Are kissing on the sea.
The zephyrs kiss the budding pink
That blooms on beauty's lip,
The ruder blasts though cold and chill,
Its rudy nectar sip.
The winds, the waves, the budding flowers
The laughing, merry rllls,
Are kissing all from morn till eve,
And clouds still kiss the hills.
Even Heaven and earth do meet to kiss
Through tears Of sparkling dew;
In kissing then, can there be harmi

Industrial Progress in tho South.

The south is making important in
dustrial progress of which the whole
country is justly proud. but it Is not
wise to overcstmatc the effect of this.
Doubtless there are certain conditions
favorable 10 manufacture there that
make substantial, if not phenomenal,
advance for years to come probable,
but il by no means follows that other
parts of the country will suffer on ac-
count of this. A good deal Of iron will
be produced at the south, but there is
no reason to believe that this means the
closing up of profitable mines else
where. The chief significance OF this
is in the fact that more iron will be
produced and used in the country than
ever before, and so it will be in other
industries.
One argument--thGt is, cheaper
labor at the south---will gradually lose
its force. As there comes to be large
bodies of skilled workmen located
there, they will expect and demand
substantially the same wages az are
paid elsewhere If ANYTHING will keep
up II permanent differences In wages,
it will be ,nat the cost of living is "a
little less there than in the north and
west But in the end the southern
farmer may be depended upon 10 base
his demands on the demands of those
similarly engaged elsewhere. -Ameri-
