The Cadiz Telephone very forcibly
urges the farmers to plant small
crops of tobacco and make a better
quality, but there is this difficulty
growing out of such advice-eVery
farmer is encouraged to plant all he
can, relying on the prevailing idea
that short crop will be planted, and
this is the year for "me" to plant Il
large one.

BROTHER MCDOWELL ON A RAM
PAGE.

Brother Mcdowell is on deck
again this week, and more, he Is
mad, very mad at the associate edi-
tor Of this paper He chews brim-
stone, fills up ON coal oil and touches
himself off with match, sending
forth flame of lurid words UNI
becoming one of his deep piety and
eminence. The substance of our Of
Tending, says the Toiler, is this:
The GAINESVILLE TOBACCO LEAF
CHRONICLE in speaking OF the Una
Alliance protest against organizing
in the cities, said: president
Buchanan disregarded the protest
and issued charters to new lodges in
Nashville, admitting Knights OF
Labor" This statement written by
M. V. Ingram is absolutely false,
and manufactured out Of whole
cloth, to injure our order. President
Buchanan has never issued a single
charter to any lodge in Nashville,
nor has there been any application
made to him to do so, The object in
publishing the above falsehOOd was to
make the world believe we are re
ceiving knights of Labor into our
order, and we are surprised that the
LEAF-CHRONICLE, usually so fair,
should allow Ingram to use its col
umns to injure our order and mis-
represent our State president. We
have the right to take in city me-
chanics under our changed national
constitution, but they are not nee
essarily Knights Of Labor.
Now the truth is this: The LEAF
CHRONICLE had been defending the
Farmers Union against the writings
and charges of the Una Alliance
man, which the ToiIer for some
time failed to notice, and the state
ment. or mistake complained of, was
innOcently made, the writer getting
the idea from the Una Alliance
charges before the withdrawal,
never dreaming that the admission
Of Knights was any reflection on the
Union, or its president, but sopposing
that he was simply performing his
duty.
The Toiler admits that the nation
al constitution, which the State is
working under, authorizes the for
nation OF lodges in cities to take in
mechanics, and this is one of the OBJ.
jections urged by Una Alliance, and
here Brother Mcdowell walks into
the Una mans net. He says "me-
chanics are not necessarily Knights
of Labor" That is true, but they
may be Knights of Labor and join
the Union all the same. This is the
first intimation coming from an au-
thoritative source that the Farmers
Union was, or would be in any way
dishonored, disgraced or injured by
the admission Of Knights of Labor,
and no one could have dreamed that
the Toiler man was ashamed Of such
association, especially since the fed
Grafton under the National Constitu-
tson. True this was one Of the prin,
cipal causes Of Una Alliance going
out, but we were not aware that the
Toiler was siding with Una Alliance.
Now, we want to ask Brother Me
Dowell Il pointed question. Is he
now, or was he ever at any time
since becoming member Of the
Wheel and Alliance a member of the
Knights of Labor? Burn yourself
out thoroughly, Brother Mcdowell,
cool off, think, and then answer this
question cautiously.

The MOle's Eve.

Carl Hess, the German naturalist, has
proved by minute microscopieal inysstiga-
ton that the eye of the mole is perfectly ca
pable of seeing, and that it is not short
sighted, as another naturalist tkadyD would
have us believe. Hess maintains that, in
spite Of its minute dimensions milli-
metre by 90 millimetre-the eye of this
little creature possesses all the necessary
properties for seeing that the most highly
developed eye does-that it is, indeed as
well suited for seeing as the eye of any other
mammal, and that in the matter of refrac-
ton it does not differ from the normal eye

ACCIDENT AND IN CIDENT.
Brakeman Narrowly Escapes
 Death on the Rail.

Death on the Rail.
 Fred Crilly, a brakeman in the switch wards of the Central New England & Western railroad at Hartford, met with a peculiar accident about 2:3O yesterday afternoon, which came near resulting fatally. He was about to couple two moving box cars to car which was standing still. He was walking back wards toward the stationary car, very short distance, when his right heel caught in d frog throwing him to the ground. In an instant the box car ran on his right leg up to the thigh, aud strangely enough, at once rolled back again. The man was picked up and taken in the ambulance to the hospital. It was found that his leg was broken below the knee and he had several ugly cuts upon his thigh. He was reported as quite comfortable last evening. and it was thought that the leg would not have to be amputated.
 | A railroad wreck occurred at Bridge port last night and obstructed travel for several hours. A freight train had started for South Norwalk and when near the elevator flat car jumped the tracks throwing off Car ahead of it. At this time a freight train was coming | in the opposite direction and t>re derail. ed car was just far enough off the track tO be struck by the east bound train The collision threw the cars into con fusion and effectually blocked both tracks. A car filled with agents of Burke's circus, who had been postin Z Bridgeport anu were on their way to South Norwalk, formed part of the first train, and the car they were in was somewhat demolished; but although all were asleep at the time of the accident they escaped without injury.

WORLD OF SPORTS

The manager of the New Haven base ball club yesterday fined Doran $50 and suspended him indefinitely for drunken ness and insubordination. Cahill and Lally were each fined $25. These disci- plinary measures are the outcome of Tuesdays indifferent playing. Doran and Cahill say the fines were unjustly imposed and that they will appeal to President Munson.
 There are said to be two distinct cliques existing in the Chicago club of the Players league. One is composed of the former league players and the other of the St Louis Browns contingent. It is an assured fact that many changes will be made in the club at the close of the season, no less than six being marked to go.

Another Grade Crossing.

The grade crossing in Hartford known as the Morgan street crossing is receiv- ing consideration at the present time, and plans for abolition of it will be presented to the railroad commissioners as soon as possible. It is very dangerous crossing, as the East Hartford horse car tracks and the Valley railroad cross the Consolidated roads tracks at this point. Plans and specifications already made by the rail road officials provide for the railroad tracks to run under the street. The es- timated cost of abolishing the crossing at grade is $l00,000.

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
Opinions and Projects in Various Parts of the State.

Opinions and Projects fin Various
 Parts of the state.
 The Hartford Times last evening said :: A letter received this morning from Winsted, announces that Judge Fenn premptorily declines to be candidate for governor. This narrows the candi- dates before the convention by two or three, and judging from opinions re- ceived from various parts of the state, we infer that Judge Morris is the favorite. We should not be surprised were this ticket to be nominated: For governor, Luzon B. Morris of New Haven: for lieutenant governor, Dr Joseph w. AlSop of Middletown; for secretary of state, John J. Phelan of Bridgeport for treasurer, Marvin H. Sanger of Canterbury for comptroller, Nicholas Staub of New Milford.
 Ex-Governor Waller says; On state issues alone the democrats ought to sucv ceed. The conduct of the republicans in refusing to appoint a single democrat on the boards of county commissioners in any part of the state for years is es- pecially reprehensible. There are 24 of the ese commissioners, who are appointed by the legislature and have full power to grant and revoke liquor licenses with out appeal. They have so outrageously used their power to further political ends that conservative people of all parties s, em determined tO change the legislature and thus put an end to this sort of wrong doing.
 X near friend of Governor Bulkeley, when in a talka i've mood said recently: The governor is simply waiting, if he secures enough delegates to give him the nomination he will take it probably but he does not mean to commit him self before the eve of the convention If he is not renominated himself he and his friends will have something to say about who is. and if Merwin gets the prize he will be under obligations to 1 Rmllsel
