CONVENTION DELEGATES.

No more important election was
ever held in our State than the ones
that are to name the men who are to
revise our constitution. We need
our best men. We want men of in
tegrity to the front. There viii be
plenty Of professional men brought
To the front. We already see the
columns Of the secular press used to
boost the names Of lawyers and pol
iticians for the place. We do not
Tamemb ber to have seen but very few
earmerssuggested. Wedo not believe
that any .man's profession should
disqualify hin in the estimation Of
the people TO be delegate, but ev-
cry profession and trade should have
its proper representation in the con-
vention. This would give at least
50 per cent. to farmers. With all
the fuss that has been made about
farmers being prejudiced 50 much
that they will not vote for lawyers,
these gentlemen Of the legal profess
sions seem TO capture most OF the
Office plums.
We are free to say that We want
to see the convention composed
largely Of farmers-Of course we
want to see the best, most prudent
and successful farmers sent.
We do not desire to see the body
composed wholly of men belonging
to profession, but no fear need be
entertained that every other trade
will be represented IN greater pro-
portion than their numerical
strength would warrant. Can't our
people utilize the secular press to
bring forward the names q their
m&st available men? We earnestly
hope that none but true christian
men will be selected to revise our
organic laws.

TIE ANNUAL CRors.
They Are Said TO BE Far II F1cess OF
the Farm Debts


There seems to be 4 pubic de-
mand for statistics as to the farm
indebtedness Of the country. This
demand has been crested TN 4rtif-
cial clamor and By tie declaration
that the farm property oS the eoan-
try is mola hesvilY hurdeHed with
debt than eny other class of proper
ty. The statement is untrue. and
it would be worth while to procure
debt statistics in order that the fact
may be known. 1t was at first pro-
posed that this information should
be gathered bv census officials; but
that would be impracticable. The
Nationsl Bureau Of Statistics could
ascertain and publish the facts in
far less time than it would require
for the Census Bureau to place
them before the people. A few fig
ures relating to Illinois will showto
what extent farm property IS bur-
bened by mortgage indebtedness as
compared with The value Of farm
property. The total mortgage in
debtedness Of the farms Of this State
is reported at S142,000.000. These
figures probably represent the total
face of all the mortgages, regardless
Of the extent to which debts lave
been reduced by payments applica-
BILE to the cancellation OF The prin-
cipai. These mortgages are on s.
600, 600 acres Of land, the total acre
age Of the State being 35,000,000.
The land that is mortgasea appears
from the figures to be incgmbered
at the rate Of SIS an acre. Allow
ing that all the land in the State is
worth $40 al acre, the total would
be S7o0,OO0,0OU. On this total there
is debt Of s142,O0O,U00. There is
no class or kind Of property il the
State so lightly incunbered as the
farm property il these figures ap-
pro1imate with any nearness t. the
truth. In contemplating the re-
sources Of the farmers as comp ared
to their indebtedness, the superiori-
ty Of their condition to that Of 9th
er classes is apparent. Ths horses,
mules. cattle, yloss. and, steeg, of
! ti,;s State ere w,srth $138,#00,QQD--
the mere live stock on the farms
would pay nearly all the farm IN
debtedness. The annual crops of
the farms are far in excess Of the
farm debts. There is no other prop
erty, business, or industry Of which
it can be said that the annual prod
uct, or portion Of it, like all the
live stock on q farm, would pay its
entire debt. Let this information
all come out.-Chlcago Journal.

THE CENSUS TAKERS.
A Republican Paper Sees fso Good in
Mortgage Statistics.

A Republican Paper Sees = 10 Good in
Mortgage Statistics.
II Is impossible to see that any
good purpose would be served by re-
quiring the census-takers to gather
statistics with regard to the mort
gage indebtedness Of the farmers.
Whatever the facts may be concern
ing the amount Of such incumbran-
ces, the matter does not come with
in the scope Of Federal legislation.
Congress has no power to change
the terms Of the contract. CT to re-
lease the debtor from any Of his
self-imposed obligations. The farm
er who has borrowed not wisely but
too much, deserves sympathy, Of
course; but there is no practical way
for the law-making authority at
Washington TO rectify his mistake
and reduce his burden to satisfacto-
ry proportions. The mortgage sys-
tenn has been one Of the controlling
factors III the settlement and prog
ress of that section of fha country.
Ii the people could no5 have obtain
ed money in that way, they could
not have transformed the empty
prairies into cultivated estates, and
built comfortable homes to mark
the spread Of civilization. They
discounted the future, as they had a
right to do, and as they we're oblig-
ed to do in order to accomplish the
laudable purposes which took them
there. In some instances, no doubt,
imprudence was manifested, and in
others there were visitations Of bad
luck which no precaution could have
kept out Of the case. But, as gen
eral rule, it is safe to say the money
has been intelligently borrowed and
proftably applied. st. Louis Globe

The greatest labor saving con-
trivance Of the age is, more grass,
more pasture. The farmer should
select the level ground Of the farm
for titled crops, and plant the hilly
and rolling fields in grass. Grass
feeds stock, and stock feeds the far
mer. Not smaller farms necessari-
ly, but more grass on all the farms,
both big and little, is to be the re-
storer Of Of prosperity in the South.
We OF the South can have green
grass for cattle sand sheep all the
winter through. The winters are
mild with little snow and rain.
With plenty Of grass, there IS not a
day all the year round, except when
snow covers the ground, that we
cannot pasture cattle on green food.
Grow grass, farmer. Blue grass,
red top, orchard grass and Timothy
these are the best. And native
grasses are good Rural Messen-
