SAM JONES AT FORT WORTH.

Mr.. Jones' war on the sinners OF
Fort Worth has begun in serious earn
est, Judging from the four column re-
port of his sermon found in Sundays
Gazette. 1t does not appear whether
they have been much stirred up as
yet, the preacher saying he was not
ready to call them to the mourn
er's bench, as he never killed his hogs
before he got the water hot to scald
them. This might not be so compli-
mentary to the sinners as Mr.. Jones
assertion that half the Baptists would
get into heaven on account OF lack
of sense. Be that as it may, Mr.
Jones seems to have special antip-
athy to dancing, while confessing that
before he was married he was himself
a first class dancer and could whirl
in the waltz with his best girl with
any of the boys. Now, however, when
he has grown old and is out OF the
ring so far as regards the girls, he
seems to loathe and detest the terp-
sichorean art rs the sum and sub
stance of all the sins and meanness
OF this sublunary world. Though it
is very questionable if it wasn't for
his ministerial clothes, Sam wouldn't
now "trip the light fantastic toe" ii
he had a good chance. Anyhow, we
would in all seriousness ask him how
on earth the mere act of two young
people, male and female, gliding
around in circles and keeping time
with their feet, while some other
party scrapes the catgut strings OF a
fiddle with lot OF horse hair, is going
to send these young people to the re-
gions of the damned?

THE FALL OF BISMARCK.

While this is not the first time
Bismarck has resigned the Office OF
premier of the German empire-hav-
ing done so at the close OF the Franco
Prussian war-it may be regarded as
the end of his career, one OF the
most distinguished in European his
tory. Nor does the young emperor
OF Germany appear to appreciate the
greatness and the incalculable SER
vices Of the Iron Prince as do the sur
rounding nations and empires. When
William ii accended the throne
erected by the genius of Bismarck it
was foregone conclusion that there
moval of the great premier was only
n question Of time. William III evil
IDENTIFY came into power with the idea
that he could run the empire without
the assistance OF his grandfather's
chief counselor. Difficulties with the
chancellor soon arose and the proud,
naughty and imperious nature OF Bis
marck rebelled against opposition and
the way opened for the retirement OF
the real founder of the German en-
pire.
The course of the emperor smacks
of ingratitude the force OF which he
now seeks to break by offering the ex-
chancellor, as stated in the dispatches
this morning, one OF the highest mill
tary appointments in the empire, only
to be refused.
Bismarck first brought forward the
idea of German confederation exclu-
sive of Austria with Prussia in the
lead, and the battle of Sadowa in 1866
was the result of that issue. The
overthrow OF Napoleon III at Sedan
in 1870 and the cession of Alsace-
Lorraine gave further force to the
idea. The consolidation of the Ger
man States under single monarchy
was the creation OF Bismarck, and up
to the accession of William III he has
been the real controlling force in the
empire. With him we have seen
Germany ascend the heights OF glory
and power. Now that he has fallen
time will show whether the young
emperor and Bismarck's successor will
maintain the prestige won by the
great ex.chancellor's intellect and
iron will.

THE CONVENTION VIRTUALLY sU-
PREME.

Politically considered, that is so far
as parties are concerned, there is no
rivalry in Texas-the State is unit.
The contests for Office then would be
tame affairs indeed but for the
ambitions of individuals and sections
that within thotranks of the great
dominantIparty create factions and
father different issues. Primarily, at
the inception OF such issues, it might
seem that such condition of affairs
was favorable to the best interests of
the state, but is it really SOP 1t
doubtless is true that when the bit
terness OF partisanship is excluded
trne patriotism is afforded better
field of operation. But, is it not also
true that when one party is in absolute
control then lis furnished the widest
latitude for the exercise OF nepotism

IRISH POTATOES.

IRISH POTATOES.
The freeze of the 2Sth OF February
was fatal to a first-class crop OF pota-
toes in this section and the lore
handed farmer who generally comes
out ahead is this time the sufferer, as
his seed was planted early and MS
nlants so far advanced as to be greatly
injured, if not killed outright. The
man who wasn't ready to plant early
or waited for the "sign" is now IN
good fortune if he has sense to seize
t. But in most cases the man who
waits for the moon in planting, will
wait for the Almighty to cultivate and
make his crop.
If he will now make move and do
only part of his duty he may get a
big return for his labor. Let all the
wood ash be scattered between the
potato drills as quickly as made and
keen the soil loose and free from
weeds, by frequent use OF harrow or
other surface stirring implement. If
the seed has been put in deep don't
hill up, but cultivate level and shall
low. With an average season the
crop will be valuable one.
FARMERS INSTITUTES.
A little more than year ago.,
through the spirited action and liberal
policy of the proprietors of the Texas
Farm and Ranch, scheme OF farm
ers' institutes was inaugul ated in Aus
tin, which has spread out till every
section of the State has shared in
their advantages.
Every month institutes are held in
some district or other and attended
by the ablest and most progressive
farmers and stockmen, and are pro-
ductive of great improvement in agri-
cultural methods and doing much to
elevate the farmer. The papers and
discussions that follow cover wide
field and are of direct practical I'M
portance to all engaged in agriculture
and stock raising, in short, they all
go to show how much money can be,
made on the farm and how to get the
most true enjoyment out of life by
improving the moral, intellectual and
social condition of the farmers family
and community.
If your Alliance friends would take
the matter in hand and call an insti-
tute at an early date at some central
point where the proceedings could be
held out of doors, they would do much
to popularize and increase the useful
ness of their organization, and help
forward grand work,

It is sometimes said that the branches
of very old trees are, properly speaking,
roots, and that If planted upside down
would flourish. Herr Kny, German
botanist, has recently investigated the
matter by planting vines and ivy with
both ends in the ground, and subse-
auently cutting them at the arch. The
experiments were fairly successful,
though not in every instance, and Herr
Kny intends to continue them with
other plants and trees, such as Willows
poplars, and roses.
