1Iarrison's Insulting scheme for Debnueh-
sng Public Opinion.
The Presidents anxious desire Is. It
appears. TO build up white Repnb-
lican party Ia the South. lie UNDER
stands that any party depending al
most exclusively on the negroes for
support can never succeed In that Sec
ton. In this conclusion he Is un.
doubleday right About three-ifths ci
the Southern people are white. ard
the white man at the North who pa-
lieves large white majority on the
other side OF mason and Dixon's
line" can be permanently subjected TO
a negro minority Is a hopeless idiot
But Mr.. Harrison Is not we'll in
formed II he supposes that the Demo.
cratic majority in the Southern States
may DO broken up by the dispcnsation
OF patronage. That method was as
siduously tried throughout the al.
ministrations OF Grant. Hayes and
Garfield and Arthur. There are sordid
wretchcs. no doubt. In Southern as
we'll rs Northern communities, who
will sell their opinions for a mess oil
pottagc or petty Office. but the sale
can not be concealed. and the merce-
narics take no following with them.
The truth Is that while the division
OF parties at the North is now almost
wholly on the Ia iii line, the Republican
| ism OF the South represents spoliation
| BY protection and negro domination.
| II Is impossible that either OF these
can command extended support among
the intelligent and self-respectine
farmers OF the great Southern asri-
cultural States, just as II is impossible
that shrewd Northern farmers can APP
prove tariff system that substantially
doubles tao price OF every manuiact-
urc1 article they consume.
| The Presidents scheme for debauch-
ing public opinion It the South with
paltry official brides Is an insult 10 the
intelligence OF the people. When he
has something better than tariff
rapacity, monopolistic greed and
negro domination to offer as a party
programme he may be able to win re-
cruits. Until then he can not reason
ably expect that the success achieved
last year by stupendous corruption
will be- repeated. The great Demo.
cratic State OF New York will not
again be sold to the tarifiites by a
handful OF base hirelings in two OF the
counties nearest to its commercial
center. Chicago Globe.

@ Dwarfs the Corn and Develops : Fatal
Disease In Cnttie.

ASieoeer IN latue-
There has comparatively recently
come 70 light "A disease which dwaris

in cattle which are allowed 10 feed
upon such affected stalks II Is not
new one. having been discovered
some years ago BY Prof. Burrill. Of
Champaign. Ill This year. however.
II Is beginning 70 attract attention in
several States. especially In Northern
Illinois The first the farmer notices
OF il Is that his corn refuses 70 grow.
The lower leaves turn light green in
color, then yellow and finally die;
somewhat upon the same principle AS
the workings Of the chinch bug The
disease affects not only IN occa-
sionaI stalk or hill. but sometimes
whole acres. Upon examination It il
found that the lower roots are all
dead and the stalk is held in its place
by only a few OF the upper ones. Tho
stalk may be easily pulled up BY tho
roots, the stringy, woody parts OF
which pull out Of their coverings
Upon closer examinations II will be
found that the inside OF the lower
parts OF the sheaths OF the dead leaves
and the adjoining parts Of the stalk are
covered more or less with little spots
which are at first watery-looking. but
grow darke as death to the parts APP

nothing OF the sort i visible. An
cxudatc follows the different stages Of
the disease with the accompanying
color Of the spots. The farmer Is
pcrplexed as TO the cause He finds
no trace OF worm nor bug, not
even with a magnifying glass. Fur
thcrmore. when cattle are allowed ac-
cess to these diseased stalks. or when
fed upon them. they contract a very
peculiar disease which almost invari-
ably proves fatal. The cause OF the
mischief il little germ. a living or
ganism similar to that Of the Southern
cattle plague. which is found album
dainty in this gclatinouse xudate spoken
Of above. also in the blood and differ
ent organs OF cattle affected with the
disease The germ can be readily
seen by the aid Of good microscope.
A remedy for this disease has not yet
been found neither in the stalk nor
| after II is developed in cattle. 50 the
safest plan will be to keep the stock
from getting access to such stalks.
The diseased portions OF the field, OF
course. fail to mature their ears. But

Most OF the farm crops are now
grown on small margins OF profit. and
will not bear very expensive manuring.
This is especially true OF grain crops
that require little labor In cultivation.
Market gardeners think nothing OF
applying 1000 or 1920 pounds Of con-
ccntrated manures In growing some OF
their crops that require most labor.
Two hundred to $50 pounds OF phos-
phate per acre Is about as high as
wheat-growing farmers can afford.
More than this on good land makes
the grain grow too rankly, 50 that IL
lodges and does not fill as IL should.
On spring grains the dressing is even
less than this. One hundred ana fifty
pounds OF phosphate per acre will
usually pay on barley and often on the
oat crop. A larger application might
not pay. and under some circum-
stances might even be a damage. The
small grains differ from corn and gar
den vegetables in the fact that they
may receive more manure than Is
really good for them. while the soil
can hardly be made too rich for the
latter Even the lighter application
Of manure for grain crops would not
pay at present prices were It not for
the fact that some portion Of the fer
tilizer remains in the soil TO benefit
the after crops OF clover and grass in
succeeding years American Guilt.
