have had since the war. After the
meeting Of the Legislature some of the
members renewed the attack on the

ways. We have been informed that
n member rarely addressed his hear

and some members even went SO far as
to suggest impeachment. We believe
1t is fair to say all these attacks have
been made, or inspired by those who
so bitterly opposed the Governors re-
nomination. We refer to these things
thatthe people may have the case clearly

they wish the reputation of the State

unless there is good cause for such at

REDUCE THE ACREAGE OF
COTTON.

The only way to settle the problem
of over-production and the CONSEQUENT
ruinous prices for cotton is to reduce
the acreage in that staple fully one
half and resort 70 the planting of food
crops, grasses, etc. 1t matters not
that the South virtually holds a mon
opoly in the production of cotton,
that the product commands gold
throughout the world, and the manu-
facture of the staple is extending, the
experience of twenty years must teach
our farmers that the price of the
staple is decreasing, and will continue
to decrease, until they learn that the
first necessity of successful farming is
to be independent and elf-sustaining.
They cannot be independent and
self-sustaining while they are wearing
themselves and their lands out produc.

many points below the cost Of its pro-
duction.
A half crop of cotton means half the
labor and expense of a full crop, and
as much money as a full crop would

yield. The cultivation of half the
present acreage would give the farmer
time and labor to produce other crops
that at the end of the year can be
counted as all gain.

little Hopes Of a Settlement Of the
Strike.
81. LOUIS, Mo, March 1.-THE
thirteenth day Of the strike opens with
as little, if no. less hope of speedy re-
sumption of the freight traffic as ever.
suburban passenger traffic has been
partially restored with the aid Of
twelve policemen and deputy sherifs,
whose presence on trains prevents the
Knights Of Labor from influencing en-
gineers to leave their trains, and
efforts are expected to be made to-day
to run out all suburban trains on
schedule time.
Vice-President Hoxie's reply to
Martin Irons, chairman of the Knights
Of Labor executive committee, in
clines many to believe the company
will attempt no settlement with the
strikers as a body, but will wait until
a number Of new men employed on
the lines, shall be sufficient to carry on
its business. Should this prove to be
true, it is understood by the Knights
of Labor here that the order which
called those out who are now striking
will be followed by one which will
cause every member of the order en-
ployed upon the Gould roads and their
southwestern connections to cease
work. The situation SO far as the East
St. Louis switchmen are concerned,
remains unchanged. Men are at work
as usual this morning and it is under
stood that their grievances will be
remedied without resort to a strike, i

CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT
CIEVFLAND.


Nearly ali the talk about dlssatisfac-
ton with President Cleveland comes
from Washington City, and mainly
from correspondents. In all proba-
bility, they get q good deal Of their
inspiration from disappointed office
seekers, and are influenced by dis
gruntled Congressman who have failed
in some of their plans. Such talk is not
public opinion. The mass of the people
do their own thinking and are not half
such big fools as certain politicians
and correspondents credit them with
being.
The masses ask no especial favor
Of the President except the
fulhllment Of his pledges to
give them a good government, which
shall bring peace and happiness to the
governed. The great body of the
American people have confidence il
the ability, integrity and patriotism OF
Mr.. Cleveland and his Cabinet, and art
confident that they are fully competent
to navigate the great ship Of State

present Presidential term; and thai

portunity. A writer in the New York
Star says:
"Mr. Cleveland may not have &C.
complished all that one-tenth of the
party expected, but he has done a good
deal more than the other nine-tenths
expected in the time elapsed since his
Inauguration, and he will satisfy a
large majority of the American people
before he is DONE"
The Mobile Register says:
This is the way one Of the Democrat
ic rank and file talks. 1t is the way that
the great majority of them think.
They have minds of their own, and are
watching public affairs and forming
their own opiRions."
Harper's Weekly says:
"The Administration Of President
Cleveland completes its first year as
this paper is issued. The first retlec-
ton which that fact suggests is that
the public disasters which were fore
told as the certain consequences of his
election have not occurred. Nc honest
opponent would deny this statement"
The Atlanta Journal says with much
force and truth /: "President Cleveland
needs the assistance, the hearty moral
and political support of his party at
present. To assaiI him now, charging
him with dereliction Of duty and I'M

Democratic organs are doing, is,
