MEN WITH MEMORIES.
Our Great Men Never Forget Any
Livingstone Remarkable Cases.
New York Letter.

new YORK Lettef.l
Most of New York's successful men have
good memories.
In the matter of remembering names and
faces Clerk Wall of the Hoffman House Is
said to beat anyone in the country. not ex-
cepting James G. Blaine who is an expert in
that line. Ex-Mayor Abram s. Hewitt
stands out in relief to these as being one of
the most prominent men in New York end
as having the worst memory.
In the domain of figures S. j. Randall
when we'll stood almost prominent. His
long service on those committees in Congress
that controlled the finance of the nation,
gave him an immense knowledge of such
matters, which he retained without an effort
1t was no uncommon thing for him to make
long speeches without using notes. He Jug
gled figures, running at one time into mil
lions OF dollars and then into fractions of
a cent without tripping as most men, how
ever able. would have done. 1t was the
same faculty that made Gladstone so success
full chancellor of the English exchequer.
Roscoe Conkling was man of wonderful
memory Whether dealing in figures in legal
argument or quoting from the rarly read
English poets, he called forth seemingly
without effort and without previous thought
the right thing at the right time.
Congressman Sam Cox has also remark
able memory, especially for things literary;
and this has stood him in good stead in de-
batesiin Congress, for his opponents never
know when the genial jester is not about to
double them up withlsomething from Shakes
peare, the Koran, Bobby Burns, the Bible, or
some old hymn book. 1t is to his memory
alone it is due, and, OF course, his wide study
that he is able to do this in a running, inn
promptu debate
Col. r. G. Ingersolps memory is as strong
as his tongue is eloquent. c. NJ. Depew has
an equally retentive mind. Bourke Cochran
surprised the judge of the court Of appeals
by the glibness with which he ratified off
former decisions and arguments when argu-
ing in the Jacob Sharpe case, and that almost
without notes and at a comparatively short
notice j. III. Choate, ex-Attorney-G General
Russell, e B. Root, j. K. Parsons are other
lawyers who possess wonderful memories
that have been improved by constant train

OF the past and present without references to

CONCERNING wo man suffrage

To the Editor of the Press:
However the question OF woman suffrage
may be finally adjusted, one thing is already
made certain, that it goes before the legisla-
ture under such conditions as will leave
wise men free to speak their minds upon it.
No chivalrous feeling upon their part need
withhold from frank discussion of ques-
ton in regard to which there is such division
among the petitioners
Good men understand better than they ex-
pect their wives and sisters to understand
the evils liable to come in the train of the
wonan's ballot: evils which Mr.. Wentworth
Higginson, one Of the earliest and most
strenuous advocates of the measure candidly
states In pamphlet upon the subject to be
OF the very grayest import. 1t seems impos-
sible that anything can compensate for these
dangers.
The anti-suffragists believe that good wom
en- may influence the ballot in needful mat
tiers, better by other means than by casting
votes that the laws are framed by men who
have in mind and at heart the inseparable
welfare OF women and men. If any women
are so alone as to have no man whose espe-
clal care they can claim, let them take cour-
age from the fact that their interests, too,
come under the laws made for the well-pro-
tected ones; and that, therefore, no woman
need consider herself as taxed without rep
resentation."

The Bridgton News seems to think that
the Introduction of ballot reform bill in
the Maine Legislature argues that terribly
corrupt state of things exists here. This is
mistake. But there are evils here that the
friends of pure elections believe can be DIM
inished. ifnot entirely removed, by the Aus
tralian system. A few. years ago the Legis-
lature established board of health, not be-
cause 1t believed Maine houses were reek-
lug with filth and coutagon, but because it
felt that our sanitary condition was not per-
feet and might be improved. The same kind
OF arguments were used then to defeat that
measure which are now used against the
Australian bill. 1t was said Maine was
very heathful State and did not need a
board Of health; that board of health
would be expensive; that If there were evils
the measure would not abolish them; conta-
gious diseases would still exist; people would
sicken and die. Well. these arguments did
not prevail, and to-day the people who made
them are glad they did not.

the warehouse men of Danville, Va,
to see if we could not make some ar
rangements (by the centrallzatlon OF
our trade to certain warehouse) by
which we could get our tobacco sold
at less rate per cent. than we had
hitherto been paying. Our Agent re-
ports that the warehouse men In that
place had obligated themselves in a
bond of several hundred dollars that
they would not reduce their rate per
cent. or rebate any charges. Not
withstanding, these same men are pay

grant prices for their supposed trade,
when they could get fully as competent
men to do the same business for one

the "trade." In some cases they lot
off a man certain districts and give
him one-half their charge on that trade,
lust to "draw" it for them.
Now the aims of the Farmers
Alliance has been to centralize its own
trade so that the money which is be-
ing paid out to these so-called "drum-
mers may go where it justly belongs

elimination against the "horny handed

THE GUANO QUESTION.
February IL, 1889.

February IL, 1889.
Mr. EDIToR:-You will find, by the
changes which | wish you to make in
my mail, that 1 am again roaming
around, and our people are always
treating me kindly and giving me
work to do. In my wanderings it was
my good fortune to fall in with ALI
ance, No. 444, a few evenings ago,
when they unanimously passed the
following resolution in regard to
guano which they requested your
correspondent to put in shape and
send to our organ for publication:
Resolved, That we will not buy
guano at the present high prices.
They discussed the subject well be-
fore voting, and many declared that
the stuff manipulated at present would
not pay for the hauling and handling,
much less the money that annually
goes out of our pockets to pay for it.
We feel, Mr.. Editor, that we have
been managed by designing manufac-
turers and merchants until we must
call halt or the whole of us will go
into the ditch
Mr.. Editor, why is it that we can't
put guano and their side shows (acid,
kainit, &C., on an equal footing with
meat, corn, &C., that the farmers have
to sell. For instance, if we take our
meat to market and sell it to mer-
chant or anyone else, (it is smoked
nice and looks well, and as our old
friend Kornegay says, "smells good" J,
the buyer finds after cutting into
it that nearly all the joints and tainted
around the bone, or the cotton is gin
cut, trashey or stained, or some low
scoundrel has watered bale. Now,
sir, what do they all do under these
circumstances2 They raise such howl
that the poor old farmer sticks
down his head and has to run
his hand down in his pocket and
satisfy the damages or be dragged up
into court and made to feel the heavy
hand of the law; that says you
farmers must trust every man as you
would have him trust you.
Now, sir, put guano on this basis

IGNORANCE, LAZINESS AND
EXTRAVAGANCE.
EMO. N. c.. Feb. "a. 1889.

Mr.. EDITOR 1t has been some
time since I wrote to you about Mid
die Greek Alliance, No. 207, Wake
county, and as some of the members
want me to write again, 1 will send
you a few lines this afternoon. We
are still moving on and | think some

are little careless about attending to
paying their dues, but we have q
plenty of the right grit who are as
true as the needle to the pole. Our
meetings are quite interesting and I
think profitable; especially so was the
last one. 1t seems to DO the fixed de-
termination of our Alliance to buy
less guano, less coffee, less meat, less
corn and less everything else, except
what our actual necessities require,
and raise more homemade meat, home
made manure, etc. We are tired of
having our meat house, corn crib,
manure pile, etc., in. Baltimore.
We are trying to instill in our peo-
pie that they must work out their
own salvation, else they will remain
/" hewers of wood and drawers of
water"
AS I see it, the three greatest causes
of oppression among the farmers are
ignorance, laziness and extravaganza.
These evils we are trying to remedy
and think we are making some prog
ress. Many other things we are try
ing to accomplish. Our business plans,
for the present, we propose to keep to
ourselves.
The farmers ask for nothing but
what is right and just-this all honest
men, regardless of profession, will
accord. When the farmer goes down,
all professions will follow. They are
the bottom rail in this world.
They demand (while they are the
foundation upon which all stands) that
their rights shall be heard; that they
shall, to some extent, be remunerated
for their services, and not forever be
the mud-sill without being sheltered
by the superstructure. THIS they de-
mand-this they a0iU haze.
We are watching closely the Farm
ers' Legislature. We hope to see
much needed legislation.
We are glad to see The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER in new suit. | trust when
it is four years old it may be able to
buy another, and have every member
of the Alliance subscribers
Death has not as yet claimed for
it's own any of our Lodge.
Long may The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER live to WELD it's influence for
good over this fair land of ours.
Yours fraternally,
