The frauds charged are repeating and vOt-
ing in place of citizens counted upon as
stay-at-homes, but who Unexpectedly put
in an appearance at the polls. Messrs
McAbee and Corcoran averted ar
rest by presenting themselves volun-
tarily before Judge Grinnell, and giving
bonds of SIS, 900 each. The two accused Of
ficials refused to discuss the charges against
them, except to deny culpability. Three of
the men arrested q day or two ago ON war
rants for connection with the frauds were
discharged for lack of evidence. It is re-
ported tonight, with much positiveness,
that six "repeaters" have turned states eyi-
dence. The chief scheme said to have been
worked was to register repeaters as residing
at cheap lodging houses, in each OF which,
to all inquirers, the clerk, by pre-arrange-
ment, vouched for the fraudulent voters as
genuine. The stake aimed at by the alleged
frauds was the seat in the city council to

Causes Of Agricultural De.
preston as Stated by
Sec. Rusk.
Depreciation of the Productive
Power of Land Due to Care
less Culture.

WAsa1xaroN,-spscial Telegram. .-secreta-
y Rusk Of the Agricultural Department,
In answer to numerous inquiries asking
about the canse Of agricultural depression,
has written letter flor publication, in the
course of which he says:
Tho present agricultural depression, it
seems to me, con be traced to combination
of many causes, 60 many that probably no
one man can 'enumerate them all. will on
ly endeavor to point out some which seem to
me moro directly responsible. They may be
divided into two classes: I. Those causes
inherent to the farmers themselves. and for
which they alone can provide possible rem
edy. 2. Those over which the farmer him
self has no direct control, and the remedy
for which must be provided as far as remedy
is possible by law. and for such legislation
the responsibility devolves upon the legisla.
tive bodies of the States and of the Nation.
What the larmer must do, ] will confine my
self to mere enumeration Of the first class
of causes indicated. On many farms, 1regret
to say, We find depreciation Of the produc.
tive power of the land due to careless culture.
We find q want to often Of business-likc
methods, due to the fact that in earlier
times business training was not re-
garded as an essential preparation for
the farmers work whereas to-day,
with altered conditions, when every penny,
md may soy every moment of time, has to
be proftably accounted for, and in the face Of
worldwide competition, o successful farmer
must be as well trained and careful in busi-
ness as the storekeeper, and his equal in in
telligence and general education. Nor ore
the important questions Of supply and de-
mand of market prices studied with the vigi.
lance which characterizes the methods of our
merchants and manufacturers. These last,
moreover, have the advantage oftransacting
their business in immediate proximity to
trade centers, where tho widest information
in reference thereto is readily obtainable.
Our farmers organizations are wisely seeking
to supplement this want for the farmer; the
