10 be 4 skilfal workman should be
the ambition Of the farmer as well AS
the mechanic. Men of the highest
attachments, In every calling, are al
ways in the ascendency. But how is
it with the farmer in general? An
idea here seems to prevail, and with
some degree of accuracy, too, that
with the farmer it is a matter Of
luck that the successful ones are
those that are 40 fortunate as to in
herit or marry into a good farm, or
are born with the proverbial 'silver
spoon In the MOUTH la some other
way. The reason why | say that the
matter of luck seems to influence
farmers more than other men, is that
they evidently have less apprecia-
ton for the force and utility of brains
or skilfnl attainments. But to look
at the matter in its true light, We "a,
see that the advantages of science, ,
skill aud a high degree of Ing, naity ,
IS equally as potent, necessary, and
valuable with farmers as with any
class of men.
1t is peculiar to some men to espe-
excel in one branch, while
with others their talents are of the
opposite order. incliniug towards a
versatility Of attachments. Among
The latter class we should look for

Political sensations and very warm
weather do not usually go together
III Washington, but this week is an
exception, for although the Their
m"meter has been dancing around in
The ninetIes all the week We have had
q real genuine sensation. At first il
vas given out that Secretary Noble
had peremptorily removed Pension
Commissioner Tanner on account of
the way in which he had been run
ming the Pension office. That il was
stated that Tanner had resigned be-
cause the Secretary had r%eprimanded
him ami AssistantSecretary Bussev.
Both OF these re ports turned ont to
nave been wrong. Mr.. Tanner has
neither beeh removed, nor has he re-
signed. But one or the other may
yet occur, as the relations between
the Secretary and the Commissioner
are decidedly strained. The day after
Tanners return from his western trim
lie received a summons from Secrs-
tary Noble to come at once to his
private office. Arrived there he
found Assistant Secretary Bussey,
who has charge Of the appeals from
the.pensIon office and who is in SYM
pathy with the Commissioner ideas,
and Secretary Noble. An animated
discussion was at once begun with
TANNER and Bussey on one side, and
Noble on tie other. 1t is said that
the Secretary gave them both to
understand inv the plainest sort of
language, that they were suborIi-
mates ofhis. The Secretary has no
serious objection to anything that
Tanner has done, but he objects to
Tanners way of doing them. He
wants the tact impressed on the mind
OF the public that the Pension bureau
Is a part of the department of the
Interior, and that be Noble is at the
head of that department.

SUPPLY M DEMAND.

Iii is quite early TO begin to speeu.
late absht the size Of the growing
crop, bGtlhe curious and inquiriug
are at 1t and place it at eight millions
o fbales with the price at seven cents.
We sympathize with our farmers
when they come here in the fall aud
complain a0ont the price of their
cotton. They woader why it is so
low, aud are ready to place the re-
spousibility on a combination of our
merchants, Or combine ofthe regu-
lar CO tol buy'r'. III yhunt ,v-ry-
where for the ca,lsl but al the right
place, and We now propose to tell
them kindly but seriously and truly.
lie fault of low prices lies at your
own Doors farmers, just as surely as
effects follow cause. If you are to
get seven cents for al eight millions
Of bales crap, whould it uot be five or
six cents for a ten miIlion b4le crop?
Now this Is the law of supply and
demand, which is made by the pro-
4ucers, and you, the farmers are the
producers. Really the merchants
aud cotton buyers Of Grenada, New
Orleans Of New York have no more
do with the price of cotton than
lie devil Of this office.
The price is arrane ed in Liverpool,
England, and is based on the su ppIy
rom al parts Of the morld. This
centre of commerce, the largest
most responsible in the world,
ias agents Of intelligence in every
>art Of the globe where cotton is
nade, and from these many and re-
sources of information, the
rice is fixed, and it is always based
Il on the supply. We do not doubt !
at hat sometimes corners and com |
nations are formed against this in J.
Vitable law of commerce, but they l
re spas'nodic and soon explode like I
bubble. G
Now farmers, when you see the
rice OF cotton going down, down, i
will see the size of the crop going !
P, up, up. This law Of supply and v
emand is Older than any chamber i
commerce or exchange. 1t is ma "
res law or The law of an all wise "
cd, and when you violate it, it will !
toll. o
II the Alliance will study this law "
ore, AMI think less Of written res "
ntions on the subject, they will II

Fire Marshall O'Brien explains that he
refused to grant permission for the re-
erection Of the fretraps that were lately
burned on West Broadway, but that the
fire committee of the present Council
gave permission for the reconstruction
of the st. Louis restaurant and Milwau-
kee beer hall, on the strength Of the dec
laration Of au alleged expert" who de-
clared that neither. were damaged to ex-
coed twenty-five percentum-this being
the maximum amount allowed by law for
the repairing Of damaged property. This
fact, OF course, e~xonerates the marshal
from censure. But it does not raise the
fire committee and the 'expert" in popu-
lar estimation. Perhaps the st. Louis
was not damaged to exceed
the amount named, but to say that a
building with nothing left out a founda-
ton and a wrecked frontage was not
damaged to exceed twenty-five per cen
tum, displays a marvellous generalization
Of judgment, to say the least.
