4 SENSIBLE LETTER.


Northern newspaper men who
comes south to write about this sec
ton generally give more attention
to politics than to anything else,
but Mr.. F. B. Norton, of the Chica-
go Inter-Ocean, has avoided that
error. He has written several in
teresting and sensible letters, and
one of them in particular contains
matter which should be seriously
considered by both the southern
and the northern people.
Mr.. Norton was impressed with
necessity of southern farmers of
giving more attention to the cult
walton of grasses, and of diversity
ing the crops. The majority of
southern farmers, he said, cling to
the practice of planting their lands
in cotton, corn and 8 few other
things, and of never giving them a
rest in grass; and, as a consequence
the south, with the exception of the
blue grass region Of Kentucky, look
ed forlorn and naked in the eyes of
northern farmers. As an instance
of what attention to diversified
farming and grasses might accom-
plish, he referred to the success of
Major g. M. Ryals, of Savannah.
"Maj. Ryals," he said, "is accustom-
ed to let the crowtoot and crab grass
grow up spontaneously as one of the
two or three crops his land produces
annually. 1t sometimes reached
growth of six feet in little over
eight weeks, and the hay sells for
$14 ton in Savannah. His farm
of 1875 acres yields an income of
$216 an acre by mixed farming is
better than S12 an acre for cotton,
and the most OF that devoured by
expenses. Many Of the former
shareholders, like Maj Ryals, have
adopted natural methods Of farming,
and are making money"
A writer in Georgia newspaper
said few months ago that southern
: a
farmers were beginning to realize
the value of Bermuda grass. From
trying to destroy it, many Of them
had come to look upon it with great
favor, and the result was that stock
and dairy farms were springing up
in the south. Their success in that
| direction encouraged others to go
into the same business, or into some
| other out of the usual order OF
southern farming.
Mr.. Norton thinks that the great
mistake of people seeking homes has
been to 60 west instead of south,
| where the best climate and every
possible natural resource of wealth
are to be found. He said that the
time had come for the tide of emf
grafton to change to the south, and
that this belief was rapidly spread
ing in the north.
| With diversified farming, and with
an Industrious and honest class Of
immigrants, the south would in
time attain greater prosperity than
she has yet experienced,

sHRRMAN,s FINANCE BILL.
The Changes in the Measure as Re
ported to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The aenate COM
mittee on finance this morning directed
Senator Sherman to report to the Senate
Immediately (Which was donel the bill
''to provide against contraction of the
currency and for other purposes"
commonly known as the republican
caucus bill. The measure was. however,
amended in two important sections at this
mornings meeting The first was the ex-
clusion of section four Of the bill. This
section provides that when the national
bank circulation falls below $3.50, ,000 900,
the deficiency shall be supplied by the issue
of treasury notes based on silver bullion
purchased, IL silver can be purchased, or if
not by direct issue Of notes.
The second amendment was the insertion
in the place of the section stricken out of
the following section: THAT the Secretary
of the Treasury is hereby authorized to issue
In a sum or sums not exceeding in the az
gregate 5000, 900. 900, coupon and registered
bonds of the United States in such form as
he may prescribe and of the de-
nominations Of $50 or some multiple of
that sum, redeemable in lawful money ct
the pleasure of the United States on and
after July !, 1900, and bearing interest
semi-anuually at the rate of per cent per
anuum, and he is authorized to dispose OF
any of the bonds issued under this act at
not less than their par value for any lawful
money of the United States. or for gold or
silver certificates, and to apply the
proceeds thereof to the redemption or to
the purchase of any of the bonds of the
United States. And the bonds hereby
authoriz and the proceeds thereof shall
be used for no other purpose whatever.
And the sum necessary to pay the expense
of issuing and disposing Of the
said bonds are hereby appro-
propriated out Of any sums of
money in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated."
No votes were cast in the committee
against the reporting of the amended bill
to the Senate, but it is understood that no
one was bound to support the measure.
The democratic members of the committee
agreed to the report, as they did in the case
of the original bill, reserving the right Of
opposition.
In the Senate the bill was read twice and
placed on the calendar.
Senator Reagan to-day re-introduced his
free coinage amendment. offered by him
some days ago, TO the Sherman financial
bill, with the intention Of applying it to the

JUSTICE MILLER's SUCCESSOR
Henry r. Brown of Michigan Nomi-
mated by the President.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The President
to-day nominated Henry B. Brown of
Michigan to be associate justice of the su-
preme court of the United States, vice
Samuel T. Miller, deceased. Judge Brown
is now United States district judge for the
third district of Michigan.
Ii the President had been able to do lust
as he pleased, he would have sent the name
OF his Attorney General to the Senate in
stead OF that of Judge Brown. Mr.. Miller
wanted it, and President Harrison wanted
Mr.. Miller to have it, but there were the
advance newspaper criticisms and the
possib lity that the Senate might not con-
firm Mr.. Miller to face, and also the diffl-
Guilty involved in attempting to fill a
vacancy In the Attorney Generalship, with
ex-Assistant Postmaster General Clerkson
pressing fer cabinet place. Mr.. Clarkson,
not being lawyer, would not be made
Attorney General.
NOBLE MIGHT HAVE OBJECTED.
Even if the President had waived his
preference for lawyer at the head Of the
interior department he might not have
found Secretary Noble willing to give it up
Tor the attorney generalship, for Secretary
Noble was himself a candidate for the su-
preme bench vacancy, and considered him.
self better fitted for it than Mr.. Miller.
After Mr. Miller the President preferred
Senator Spooner, who would have been APP
pointed if he had not declined. Senator
Spooner says that he will find two $4,000
retainers from two railroads waiting for him
when no leaves the Senate March 4, and
that he wants to gather in these and other
fees to the amount of comfortable fortune
before going on the bench.
HIGH HOPES SENATOR
Beside he has good hope that Senator
Sawyer will make him his successor in the
Senate, and beyond that sees the vice presi-
dency and the presidency blocking the
view. Senator Spooner said if he were ten
or fifteen years older he would gladly have
accepted the supreme court place, but that
he was too poor and too ambitious Judge
Brown had been in the Presidents mind all
the time, as he had been when Judge
Brewer was appointed under the trans Mis-
sissippi pressure, and failing his own pleas
ure the President appointed him on his
merits. Senator Steckbridge was the only
prominent Michigan man supporting Judge
Brown.
ALGER AGAIN IGNORED.
Senator McMillan supported Alfred
Russell of Detroit and SO did
Gen. Alger, and it was thought
when Gen. Alger was here last that
Mr.. Russell would be appointed to soothe
Ger. Alger's feelings. ruffied by the refus-
ais heretofore made to him by President
Harrison in matters of patronage. But
President Harrison said that Mr.. Russells
appointment would be unpopular on ac-
count of his connection with the Wabash
railroad, and that it was therefore out of
the question. Judge Brown looks like Rep
resentative Mckinley, is well liked by the
supreme court, has small fortune and
married a woman of wealth. His legal at
tainments are very respectable, especially
in the field Of admiralty law.

soorLAND's strike.

Traffic Hopelessly Behind-The Prog
pects OF Settlement Gloomy.
GLASGOW, Dec. 2S.-The railroad strike
has extended to Edinburgh. and it is feared
that the full extent of tho trouble has not
been reached
In spite of all efforts made to bring about
a settlement Of the matters Ia dispute be-
tween the railroad officials and railroad
employees, the strike continues to extend
in many directions. Traffic Is now hope
lessly behind almost everywhere.
SIGNAL BOXES EMPTY.
Along the lines of the roads affected the
engine drivers report that many of the sig
nal boxes are empty, having been deserted
by their regular occupants, and that in
other cases, where the signal men remained
at their posts, tho signals we're so worked
as to be misleading, and consequently de-
layed the passage of trains In a most annoy
ing and dangerous manner. At Perth the
railroad men are still at work, but
the pickets of the strikers report that they
expect to be able to induce the Perth men
to 20 out on u strike in very short time
The state Of affairs can be judged from the
fact that only one out Of thirty steam
cranes are working at the mineral terminus
of the railway lines in Glasgow harbor.
sHUETING IMPOSSIBLE.
Loaded wagons cannot be shuntod, owing
to the almost complete lack Of locomotives
with which to do the work. The railroad
officials are evidently enjoying the sympathy
of the business community. as shown by the
fact that several private firms have placed
their pilot engines at the disposal OF the
railroad company In order to enable the
latter TO carry on absolutely essential work.
At Holytown, a coal mining center
about ten miles from this city
the miners have ceased working, as
there are no wagons available for any
further output Of coal Should the strike
continue much longer the coal trade OF
Lanarkshire will be completely paralyzed.
THE ROADS TO STAND FIRM.
The directors Of the three railroad COM
panies met here to-day and resolved TO
stand firm. The North British station was
totally closed to passenger traffic after the
London train left at o'clock tonight. The
block is increasing all tho way to Carlisle.
All tho suburban trains at Edinburgh have
stopped running At Dundee and Arbroath
the mon came out In body at midnight,
stopping ali traffic to dinburgh and Aber-
deem. At meeting in Perth, late tonight,
the railroad men resolved to strike. Pickets
have been placed on duty by the strikers

STIRRING UP THE SENATE
THREE LIVELY ISSUES SPRUNG ON
TIE BODY IN A DAY.

Sherman Comes in With His Finan-
cial Bill, Aldrich With the Caucus
Cloture Resolution and stewart
With His Free Coinage Substitute
The Democrats Not Alarmed.
WASHINGTON. Dec. Ex-senator Sher-
man with his amended financial bill, Sena-
tor Stewart with his free coinage substi-
tute and Senator Aldrich with the caucus
clouure rule stirred up the Senate to-day so
that the situation was somewhat changed.
Senator Sherman's action through the ma
Jority Of the finance committee declared
the failure of all negotiations with the sill
yer republicans 20 secure their support of
the financial bill and the determination of
the eastern senators to go ahead without
them. Senator Stewards action was
declaration of open hostility on the part of
the silver men and Of their determination
to go ahead regardless Of the eastern repubs
licans
THE SPLIT SHOWN UP.
The ill-concealed split in the Republican
party of the Senate was suddenly and pub
Iicly revealed. The eastern men really want
no financial legislation, and their idea is to
use the force bill to fend it off. The silver
republicans propose to push their free coin
age scheme with democratic assistance, to
the exclusion. if necessary, of the force bill
Sena tor Stewart will probably move next
week TO set 1t aside for the free coinage bill.
Senator Aldrich's action has no import
ance at present. He presented the cloture
rule as the representative of the caucus, and
not as the chairman Of the committee
on rules In the absence of Senator Ingalls,,
who will not be back for two weeks, the
committee on rules stands two to two, and
SO Senator Aldrich just brought this rule
in without saying anything to his commit
teemen. He himself is expected TO go away
for week tonight, so that nothing will be
done with the rule for that time. So far as
now appears there is as yet no programme
for its future, except to keep it hanging in
terrorism over the democrats, who are not
in much fear of it. They regard it as is
sued for publication. and not necessarily in
good faith
