Testing Soils by the Color OF
Plants

from the New Ork Herald.
N. Georges Vile, a French sci
eptitic agriculturist, after almost
thirty years of assiduous researches
on the experimental farm at Vim
cennes, has made remarkable and
important discovery of a relation
existing between the color of plants
and the richness of soils in fertil-
izing agents. His conclusions, re-
Gently reported to the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences, deserve consldera-
ton by all farmers and horticultu-
rists.
He finds that the color of the
leaves of plants undergoes marked
change whenever the soil is lacking
in phosphate potash, lime, or nitro
gen. The color remains light green
or turns to yellow when the soil is
deficient in phosphate potash or nj
trogen. When none of the fcrtilizing
elements are wanting the color is
dark green.
By his experiments NJ. Vile fur
nishes agricuIturists with positive in
dications by which they can deter
mine with the greatest facility what
kind OF fertilizer the soil needs most
or in what clements Of fertility it
abounds. His experiments should
he repeated by our Department OF
Agriculture and the results published.
The practical information which
might thus be supplied to American
farmers would enable many OF them
to make two blades Of grass grow
where OneuOW prOWs.'

II C. Minor, republican candidate
for Congress at the late election in
Louisiana, will not contest the seat
just obtained by his opponent. This
was the contest which several con
gresham and others from the north
went down TO observe. It's result
seems to establish the fact that
members OF congress may be chosen
by the democrats in districts where
the black vote exists in large num-
bers, and chosen by immense ma
jorities too, without fraud or VIC
lence attending the contest. 1t Is
important in view Of the large num-
Der Of seats III the present congress
which are contested on the ground
that fraud or violence or both are to
be presumed.

THE NO FENCE QUESTION.
How the Law Works ira (.eOrcia
and ia our own County.

The Thomasvile (Ga) Times Enterprise
is agitating the No Fence" question, and
we take the following article from its col
umns:
Every land holder south Of the railroad
is interested in The no fence law. II thr
bill becomes & law, by he vote of the peo
pie to whom ii is submitted, that portion
of our county VIII be one of the most pros
porous sections in South Georgia. \ gen
tlcman living on this side OF the railroad,
and good farmer, remarked the Other
day: al the 40 fence law carries, south
o. ,he rai!ro Il, intend TO sell and buy .
place in that section OF the county" There
has hccn some talk about The colured labor
leaving that section in case no fence law
carries. There is no danger OF this The
intelligent colOlcl laborer and tenant VIII
soon find that it is to his interest for The
law to pass In this connection we NAV
refer to a conversation recently had with
a prominent farmer III Leon county, Fla.
whefe the law is now in force. Among
other tnlnGs, ne SAID:
when the question of a nc fence. law
was first agitated in our county, there was
a general and marked opposition to it, on
the part of theicolored people, Since they
they have seen its workings, and how 1t
protects their crops from stock running at
large, the great majority of them have
changed their views, and are now heartily
in favor Of the law. l know Of no laborer
who has left our county on account of the
existence of the no fence law. 1t will be
worth thousands and thousands to the
farmers of Leon rounty. Our people would
not 90 back 20 the old regime for any
amount" We respectfully call the atten-
on this question at the ensuing election, to
The views of the gentleman above quoted.
He is COOL clear headed man, and has
given the subject much attention.
Of the seventy odd counties in Georgia,
which have adopted the no fence law, there
is not a single one of them in which the
Old rail fence could be voted back. In de-
lcrmining this and other questions. the ex-
pcripuc" an observation OF others is n good
and safe criterion. There are, of course,
some good men in the territory mentioned
| no are opposed to the no fence law, bu,
| if they will lake the trouble to post them
selves as To the working of the law in other
counties, and under similar conditions
which exist and prevail in the section of
Thomas alluded to, they will, we are very
sure, change their views. In any event
it is the duty of every man to post himself
on the subject before making up his mind.
Ii is most important subject, one which
should claim the earnest attention of every
land holder south of the railroad.

AND THE TARIFF
Prom the Ct I0nia POaf- Deanafch


Those who see in tariff protection
a panacea for labor troubles are call
ing on the Democratic papers to ex-
plain how the London stevedore strike
can happenin a FreeTrade country.
They should themselves first explain
how we could have five years OF
such extreme industrial depression
and widespread labor troubles as we
had for FIVE years following 1873 I'M
der the highest tariff that was ever
known-a tariff that laid protective
du ties averaging Al per cent. on
more than 1000 articles. They
should also explain how it is that
wages are so much higherin Gree
Trade " England than in any Euro
pean country which pretends to pro-
tect wages with tariff on imports,
and why it is that the strikes of which
we hear SO much now in our own
country are chiefly if not wholly in
the protected industries, and are
strikes against 10 aud 20 per cent.
reduction of wages, while the strike
in England is tor higher wages.

from 1850, the United States rapidly
followed in the, steps of these old ma

followed in the, steps Of these oldsna-
tions. Here are the figures: In
1850 capitalists owned 379 per cent.
of the nations wealth. In 1870 they
owned 63 per cent. At that rate the
next census will show that capitalists
own about so per cent. of this coun-
try, hitherto called the best country
on earth for the poor mana coun-
try in which he has the best chance
for rising to wealth, at least to COM
potency. 1t might be said here that
to this day 10000 own all the British
Isles. In all the modern European
countries the few own nearly all, and
are having a good time. The masses
struggle for bare existence. Within
a century this country, called the
happiest on earth, will show the
richest men in the world-the for.
tunate few-and the poorest masses.
II is the tendency of all countries.
All men strive for all possible wealth.
A few are sharp. The survival Of
the sharpest in the struggle is the
teaching of all history. The crowd
go under.-Danbury Register.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Matters Worthy Of Careful Con-
sideraiiOn.

The interstate act is benefting
the public not only through its ten
dency to secure lower and equalized
rates, but because the readjustments
which it requires are making it to
the interest of Eastern manufacture
ers to move West and get nearer
their customers. Deprived of re-
bates and inequitable long haul rates.
manufacturers must plant themselves
nearer consumers and get the advan-
tages of short hauls.-Chicago Tri-
bune.
Ii the farmer cannot limit produc-
ton, which he surely cannot, then he
cannot regulate the price at which
he must sell those products. Can he
increase the present enthusiastically
small margin OF profit by reducing
the cost OF what he has to buy? The
effect would be precisely, the same as
increasing the price OF what he has
to sell, and, We think, vastly easier
to do. AS to the formation Of a
farmers trust as means Of protec-
ton to the farmer, it is simply out
of the question. Farmers are too
numerous to be brought under the
control of a syndicate. Moreover, the
method is unrighteous and unpatri-
otto. and should not and will not re-
ceive encouragement from the better
class OF men, whatever their calling.
The farmer should be the very last to
favor the monopoly method, for he
has always been among the first to
suffer by such expedients, and will
continue to be to the end.-York
Gazette.
The people have heard the truth,
and are asserting it through their To-
Cal conventions In way that shows
Grover Cleveland to be nearer than
any leader III his party to the heart
and mind Of the American people.
The people cannot be humbugged
long. \ victory won by evasion
and vacillation, snpposipg it had
been possible, would have been a
hollow and barren victory. The
people who see the truth SO clearly
today would have unmarked the sham
and driven the parties to it from
power, disgraced and humili&ted.
No party has ever suffered in the
end by putting too much trust in the
people. Through steadfast devotion
to high principle, the Democratic
party has gained in character and in
courage, and is now animated by as
'sH;rations more noble and hopes more
exa,Iftdd than have ever actuated II

lump appeared on my nose, and from
its appearance and rapid growth, |

physician about it, and he gave me
an ointment to put on it, when this
did not relieve me, he then burnt 1t
out, but the place would not heal. 1t
gradually grew longer and worse,
