A correspondent of the Wilimant. ( Chronicle says We read tllat'the new ex pertinent station at tEe s OTIS school Is spreading a series of experiments through. out the state, mainl y on corn and potatoes. If those experimenting at tie state school would spread their experiments on the state's 172-acre farm so as 10 make it pro- duce enough potatoes for their own con- sumption, instead of buying fifty or sixty bushels of neighboring farmer each year, it would be setting better example than spreading what they claim to know about farming on paper.
 Is this shot from what the Hartford Times calls the "Gatling gun ? A cer- tain class of critics cannot get rid of the idea that the farm connected with the Storrs school is to be carried on as specu- lation, rather than as an educating adjunct to the school, and field for experiment.. This particular critic we believe to be a farmer, and after this criticism we have a right to presume that he buys no bread stutfs or grain for consumption by his fam fly or herds, since we have right to ex- pect that his farm should do as much for one family as the state farm, (whose worth lessness he recently so loudly advertised) should do for several families.

Representative Mills of Texas, in open ing the debate for the tariff bill, had made the assertion that the laborer, al thongh receiving much larger compen satlOn for his services in this than i'll any other country, is obliged to pay it out ir increased cost of living, so that when he mes to purchase a BIO suit of clothes, he is forced to pay $2O for it. Mir. Mckinley, in the course of his argument, denied this assertion aud affirmed that a wOrkingmau could buy a suit as cheap in this country as Ill any other, when MT. Morse, c'oth- | ing dealer of B 'ston, interrupted, ''He could not buy 1t of me. Thereupon MT. McKiuley, to the amazement of MT. Morse, drew ont from under the desk suit ol clothes of all wool, bought from the store of MT. Morse for $lO, and waving it before the members of the house, he remarked, This is the very BIO suit of all wool de- scribed by the gentleman from Texas, which can be bought in B oston, Chicago and New York for BIO at retail-4O pe1 cent cheaper than it could have been bought in 1860 under low tariff and low Morse's Boston clothing house and pur- chased suit, which was thus billed:
 To one suit, all wool. This was a practical argument, an argu. meht a0 honai'seas, and everything else.

THURMAN HEARS THE NEWS,


Speech to the Randall Club.
CoLCMBUs, Ohio, June S-All day yester
day a crowd of hundreds of citizens from
both political parties stood in front of the
Western Union office, where the bulletins OF
the convention were displayed, and watched
with intense eagerness its proceedings. II
was generally believed that Judge Thurman
would be nominated, so the news did not
create the marked enthusiasm that probably
would have been manifested had the result
been less certain wholly unexpected.
When the announcement was made the
crowd gave vent to its satisfaction by
loud cheering, which continued for some
time.
Immediately the Democrats furnished
themselves with red bandanas and paraded
the streets in squads, cheering and express
ing their joy.
Judge Thurman was advised of the action
of the convention in the afternoon about 8
o'clock by reporter. He had risen earlier
than usual in the day, and received mum
Der of messages from st. Louis through his
son Allen, announcing the certainty of hi.
nomination. When first told of his nomina
ton Thurman expressed his pleasure and
gratitude. He said that from the first time
his name was mentioned for the second place
on the ticket he did everything to stop it
but it seemed that it was impossible to over.
come it, OF course, he said, it was pleasing
to know that the Democracy still retained
such a regard for him; but stilh if he

Morgan Makes a Speech on the Fisheri
Question in Spite of Objections.


Question in Spite of Objections.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 8-Morgan asked
leave to offer a preamble and set of resolu
lions on the fisheries treaty in the senate yes
terday, and insisted that he had a right to re-
fer them to committee. The chair said that
he could not entertain that motion unless
unanimous consent was given to the Offering
of the resolution.
Morgan, after expressing his utter surprise
at the ruling Of the chair, said that he pro
posed to make the speech which he had made
in secret session.
Sherman objected, but Morgan took up the
printed slips of his speech, and commenced to
read.
Sherman made point Of order against his
continuing, and the chair held that the sena.
tor must confine himself to the point of or
der; but the chair had no means of forcing
the rule-that was for the senate to do
Morgan, with indifference to the ruling,
proceeded to read his secTect session speech
Referring to the action of the Republican
senator's he said it was doubtless with a view
of exciting the antagonism of Irish voters to
the president because of his alleged subser-
viency to British influences. Congress had
given to the president the power to wage pa
per war on British commerce II he had
pushed that paper war into the category Of
real war the country would have cried out
for his impeachment As he had not done
so he was charged in the majority report
with the abuse of constitutional power and a
threat had been made by the COMMITTEES of
future dealing with the president.
