re cosmos speech.

The longest speech on record is
believed to have been made By a
member Of the Legislature Of British
Columbia named De Cosmos. It
was in The interest of settlers, who
were TO be ousted from their lands.
De Cosmos was in the hopeless
minority. The job had been held
back until near the end of the
session; unless legislation was taken
before noon Of q certain day the act
Of coniscaticn would fail.
The day before the expiration OF
The limitation, De Cosmos got the
floor about 10 a. m. and began q
speech against the bill. Those in
favor of the bill cared but little for
what they supposed would be an
hour or an hour and a half speech
from Cosmos, thinking that they
would have no trouble in putting it
on its passage as soon as he was
through.
One, two, four and FIVE o'clock
came, still De Cosmos talked as
though he had ages in which to fin
ish his remarks. At six o'clock he
produced a fearful bundle of evi-
dence; then, for the first time, a
suspicion of truth dawned upon The
maioritY--De Cosmos intended to
speak until noon Of the next day,
the time for adjournment, and thus
kill the bill. They tried to shout
him down with their frequent and
noisy Interruptions, but soon saw
thut THAI only gave him q chance
to digress and make his talk less
laborious.
AT midnight the members went
out to lunch and returned only to
fall asleep in their seats; still De
Cosmos went on; day dawned over
the sleepy assemblage with tired
looks and bloodshot eyes, still the
settlers hero kept the floor. Six
hours more Of talk, and noon, the
hour of adjournment, came to the
baded majority; a single man had
%triumphed. His lips were cracked
and his chin smeared with blood
from the cracks; he tottered and
fell from sheer exhaustion, but the
land was saved. De Cosmos had
spoken just tWenty-six houra.-St.

No one can estimate with certain
ty the possibilities of an acre OF
land. We know that more than
26O bushels Of corn were made from
an acre Of land by a South Car Dina
man in 1889. That 700 bushels Of
potatoes, 5000 pounds of sugar, 2
bales Of cotton, 400 bushels OF sweet
potatoes and $50 of strawberries
were made upon the same area, BAT
we do not know that the limits Of
production were reached in either
case. A big crop is not always a
profitable one; it may cost loo much
money TO make it. What the far
mel should aim at is to obtain the
greatest possible yield at the small
est outlay of money and labor. To
make every foot of land tell, and
not to skin over the whole farm or
plantation, but learn to make a
large crop on the smallest area Of
land. Keep up the fertility of the
land by constant rotation. Use
fertilizers with economy and discre-
ton. Cultivate well, and do not
fail to grow in addition to the mo-
ney crop . full supply Of everything

The statement has recently been made
that the friendsof Mr. Randall, alarmed
bv his physical condition, and consider
log the strong probability that his i'll.
uess will terminate fatally, have
quietly taken steps to raise an amount
that would insure an ample provision
for his wife in case she should be left a
widow. The sum already secured is
reported to be as large as $4,000, and
there is reason to believe that this sum
will be very materially increased in the
course Of very short time.
Strange as il may seem 10 many, the
utmost precautions are being taken to
keep all information Of this generous
act Of his friends from the knowledge
Of Mr. Randall, and this. lot because it

THE NEW RULES.

The new code Of rules adopted by the
Republican caucus for the government
o, tho House Of Representatives pro-
vides that when the ayes and noes are
called he clerk shall make a record Of
chose voting, those present and not
votipg' aud 'absentees. Then the
list shall be handed to the Speaker, who
shall be empowered to count those
present and not voting as available
for making up quorum, and the meas
ure voted on shall be declared passed
or defeated according as it may or not
receive a majority Of the votes cast.
This is certainly an endorsement Of
Reed s arbitrary course in the recent
mith-Jackson election contest: but
there is some comfort to be afforded the
friends of good government from the
circumstances connected with the adop-
ton Of these rules. The TINES CORES
pondsnt at Washington stated in his
special Of yesterday that a number
Of conscience stricken Republicans had
openly informed Mr.. Reed that
they regarded his late action as despotic
and unconstitutional, and that they
would not support him further 10
confederation Of this the regular press
dispatches stated that the caucus con-
sidering the rules was by no means
harmonious, and it was only through
the active cracking Of the party whip.
and by the most strenuous exertions
that the Code was finally reluctantly as
sented to.
All this encourages the hope that
whenever any extreme radical measure
may be presented to Congress, the
moro conservative or sore timid Re
publicans may refuse to vote for il, and
it may thereby be defeated. If such
should prove to be the case, there is not
much probability Of the passage Of the
proposed iniquitous and revolutionary
law to enable the Federal Government
to control, by military or other force
Congressional elections in the States.

THE EXPOSITION GROUNDS.

In the February number Of that in
structive and interesting journal the
Southern Planter, one Of our most valu'
able and useful exchanges, there will
be found several articles relating TO the
matters now in dispute IN connection
with the Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical Society. The position taken
in these articles is, as rule, in opposi
to the sale of the grounds except under
certain conditions.
Colonel William c. knight, an ex
president OF the society, after showing
in the communication from him, which
the Planter publishes, the inadyisability
from every standpoint of the bill now
before the Legislature asking for au-
thority 10 sell and convey title, sug
gests that a committee shall be ap
pointed, composed of six members of
the Chamber Of Commerce and six of
the life members Of the Society, who
shall be invited TO meet in Richmond at
an early day and "formulate a
plan mutually beneficial to the Society
and the city, the plan TO be forwarded
through the president Of the Chamber
TO the Council for consideration. and if
adopted, the executive of the Society
be requested to call general meeting
Of the Society, in such thorough man
ner as to insure the attendance Of a ma
jority, either in person or by proxy.
This meeting will possess the legal
authority to adopt any proposed or al
ternste plan, and make the same bind.
ing on the Society,"
In case the plan proposed should be
rejected, the Planter suggests, edto
rally, that the property Of the society
shall be sold in such part as may be re-
quired to discharge its debts.
Colonel Robert Beverley, also an ex-
president Of the society, expresses him
self, in a letter to the same journal, as
favofing the sale Of the grounds as
whole.

mere knowledge that provision had
been made for their families would
comfort the minds Of the great ma
jority Of men in the situation in which
Mr.. Randall finds himself, his health ir-
retrisysbly shattered, and with no
fortune to leave behind him.
Samuel ]. Randall has, for over
generation, represented, without any
form Of political opposition, one OF the
wezlthicst constituencies in the United
States. Daring his long career IN Con-
gress. he has no doubt had many oppor-
tuuitiss Of enriching himself by taking
advantage Of chances that have arisen
in his way, and which other men have
not hssitated TO utilize to their pecuniary
benefit. And yet, after all these years
OF service in one OF the most c0rrup'
and speculative cities in the world the
distinguished Penn sylvanian Is about
to die in poverty, but with hands unoe-
smirched and a character untarnishsd
by malice or scandal.

lection is almost as much indebted to

Golden did not scruple to accept for
tune from his friends and admirers on
the ground that ne devoted his energies
and abilities 80 e1clusivly to the service
OF the people that he had not the time
10 look after bis private affairs. And
upon the same ground, Parnell has also
accepted the pscuniary assistance Of his
followers
The American statesman, who is now
probably withdrawn forever from the
public gaze, sturdily refuses in his last
hours not only to receive the benefac-
tons Of his friends for himself, bat it
is also supposed that he would decline
all offers looking to the support OF his
wife after he is dead. All honor to
his spirit OF manly independence. Itmay
seem to be carried to the point Of quiz
otism with reference to his wife but
whatever error there may be in his
feeling in this respect, leans 70 the side
OF virtue and greatness Of mind.

This Will give them the power to re.

Mr.. Thomas c. Plat has killed the
Worlds Fair bill. and no argument and
no appeal avails TO produce a reconsid-

In political sense this event is not
without its consolation. Mr.. Plat and
the Republicans have done the deed.
They have struck down the wishes and
the expectations Of New York city.
They have delivered their blow at the
business. the industry. the progress and
the glory of this metropolis. The pOlit-
