P e

WE often hear farmers say that
w they do not need any papers "to
tell them how to farm" This IS
partly true, but in other respects it is
a mistake. You need papers that
will truthfully represent you and your
business. A great many agricultural
journals are too much agricultural.
Their editors, as a rule, ave plowed
a furrow in their lives, and sometimes
are not possessed of good common
sense. Again, there is another class
of papers that are political in every
sense of the word. They are thor
oughly agricultural, but the "farm-
ing" part is simply a disguise behind
which they stand and argue that this
or that scheme will make the farmers
independent or else that it will ruin
them. Neither of these classes of
papers are any account, and are
actually dangerous. They are worth
less and Inconsistent. They care
nothing for the people they claim to
represent because they are not Of the
people. A paper that represents the
farmers as a class should contain some
agricultural matter, but pictures of
fine COWS, horses, hogs and sheep,
which are paid for advertisements, do
not aid the farmers. They need and
want practical agricultural literature.
But in this day the great work of
agricultural papers is to gather facts
showing the many expressions under
which the people labor. A mar may
know how to raise fine stock and make
SO to 100 bushels of corn per acre, or
two bales of cotton, but it it is taken
from him unjustly, he is no better
off. Education is of the greatest i'm
portance now. If the farmers know
the wrongs they have to contend with
and get aid fcom the papers and en-,
courayement in their efforts to sys,
temize their business, they will always
make enough to feed and clothe the
world. Discussing this from the same
standpoint, M of our exchanges says:
"There is a class of newspapers that
are continually telling the farmers
how to farm successfully. The farmer
must keep his plows, his wagons,
stock, poultry, etc. ali in out of the
weather, and we have been looking
for some of them to advise the farmer
to keep his orchard in a good barn
during the winter.
"These editors who farm on paper,
presume a great deal on the intelligence
of the farmer. Farming on paper
and on the farm is two different things
entirely, and if a nan who has been
raised on the farm-never followed
anything else-don't know how to
conduct a farm to the best advantage,
no amount of newspaper lecturing will
aver learn him.
Why don't you give merchants,
lawyers doctors, bankers, and men Of
all other occupations the same instruc-
tons relative to their business that
you do the farmer? Because they
would pay no attention to you. Neither
does the more intelligent class OF
farmers, for they know more about
their own business than any one else"

ELECTED BY FRAUD.
THE WAY FLEMING GOT HIS SEAT :
1T MEANS VICTORY HEREAFTER.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, Febraary
4.--Thc long.worked out plot OF the
Democratic bosses of West Virginia
to steal the Office of governor was
coasummated to-day. The two
Democrats who had announced their
intention to vote for Golf on the
merits of contest were whipped back
into line aud Fleming declared elect
ed. The vote on the resolution
which finally settled the contest WAS
yeas 43, nays 40. Ford and
Merrill, the Democratic recalcitrants,
have been compelled 10 undergo
persecution which is almost impos.
sible to appreciate. Ford's business
partner in large land deals and his
attorney were brought here, and for
forty eight hours they held the threat
OF financial ruin over their heads.
La addition, q large delegation of his
constituents came in from Raleigh
county, and made threats of person.
nj violence if he did not vote for
Fleming. Merrill's case was even
more outrageous. On Sunday night
he disappeared, and did not reap
pear until this morning, just before
the vote was taken. Ii has since
leaked out that he was in the Gus.
toly of a number Of Democratic
p dlticians, and it is reported that he
WAS kept under the influence OF
drugs the entire time. The fight in
the assembly lost all semblance Of a
decision OF a judicial question, as it
purported to be, and the disgrace
attending the affair will make
thousands of voters for the Republi-
can candidates next year. Carr, the
Union Labor senator, who was elect
ed as Republican, voted with the
Democrats. 1t is understood that
he is in a deal by which he will he.
come the Union Labor and Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in this
district. 1t is doubtful, however, il
he can get the fusion nomination.
Before the joint assembly met this
morning the committee appointed to
investigate the charges OF bribery
made by Delegate ID. M. Harr DEM
in the joint assembly on Saturday.
made a report. 1t found that no
attempt had been made to bride
Harr, and the Republicans whom
Harr accused were entirely ex
Onerated. The other charges Of
bribery made In the assembly have
not been investigated, and they will
not be. The Democrats know that
there is no proof to sustain them
and now that Fleming is declared
elected, they are frank enough t.
confess that the charges were only q
part of plot to gain time.
Gen. Golf was seen by your CORE
spondent this evening. lie espresso:
satisfaction with the result OF thu
contest. He says he made the iigh
for the office to which he vas elected
only in order to put the Democrat
