The South's Opportunity.

|
population of the New England States
and consequently thier consuming capac-
ity, continues to increase, it's productions,
or at least it's farms are decreasing in
number and extent each year. In every
township, hundreds of deserted farms can
be found, and the owners of as many
more are only waitingfo an opportunity
of disposing of this property for sum
considerably less than it's cost or value,
| when they will immigrate to more prom
Using sections of the South and West or
to the manufacturing sections Of the
East.
This state of affairs indicates that agri-
culture in the New England States is on
the decline That tits no longer as profit
able as the same business in other Sec
tons, or. that other industries
more profitable are being sought after
by the farmers. This we say is rather
strange in view of the fact that the pop
ulatiOn of that section, like that of every
ing, though not as fast as in the South
and West With the increase of popula-
ton it is natural to suppose that the de-
mand for the products of the farm
would keep pace with it, and as
demand and supply regulates every
market it seems as if the products Of the
Inv Of hn do
mand, would command a better and
more profitable price. But that such a
line ofreasOningis fallaciOus, is evidenced
10y the desertion of the New England
farms. 1t may be that the laws of our
country do not foster and protect the
agricnlturists in the same measure as it
does the other industries, and we are in
clined to think that to this fact may be
attributed the desertion of the New Eng
land farms, and the rapid increase of
population in manufacturing centers.
However, whatever may be the cause,
direct or indirect, of this wholesale de-
sertion of the farms, it cannot but have
d good effect upon the agriculture of
other sections, notably in the South.
The consuming capacity of New Eng
land is not in the least diminished, but is
rather increased, and will continue to in
crease, but it's supplying and producing
capacity is diminished by reason of the
aforementioned desertion Of the farms.
Consequently it must look to other Sec
tions for it's supplies.
The South should and will probably
reap the benefits of the diminished pro-
auctions of the East. A deserted farm
in the South is rarity, and while the
farmers as a rule do not accumulate
wealth they live in comfort, and plenty.
A very small portion of our available
lands is under cultivation, and there
are millions upon millions of fertile acres
awaiting only the hands of the tiller.
Why should not the South supply the
demands of New England? We have the
land, the products and the climate, in
fact all of the needed facilities. We only
lack the workers.
If those in New England who are de-
sorting their farms will come to the South
and establish new ones, we believe they
will find the conditions more favorable
for the profitable pursuits of the bust
noco. +hou will find tho o1in1 70 moro

FARMERS LOGIC.
The "Home Market" Is Now at the Mis-
souri, River Crossings.

The CLONE Market" Is Now at the Mis-
souri, River Crossings.
The Farmers Alliances of Kansas
have arrived at the conclusion that
their market is the Missouri river.
They are now convinced that the reduc-
ton in through rates on corn has but
acted to lower the price of the grain,
and that the only benefits derived
therefrom have gone to the Eastern
grain buyers. The lo,af rate of four
teen cents from Central Kansas to the
river practically shuts out Kansas
from the only market that can
help the farmers. Reasoning thus
the Railroad Commissioners will
be asked to take official action in bring
ing about a reduction of fifty per cent.
in the local rates on grain and stock to
Missouri river points. Petitions have
been circulated among the alliances,
asking the Railroad Com missioners to
assist them in reaching the Missouri
river points, their natural market. These
petitions state that the reduction of one
cent bushel amounts to nothing, and
is not satisfactory. The committees
representing the alliances and the
boards of trade are apparently in earn
est. A representative was sent to Chi
cago and Baltimore on this business,
and will consult with the Interstate
Commerce Commission before returning.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

CTQueer things are done ''down
South The Legislature of Mississippi
has provided for the adoption of a new
State constitution without submitting 1t
to the people. This is the Southern
Democratic idea of popular government

is why think it should be adopted" :"
says the ponderous Mr.. Cleveland. He
had different opinion, evidently, when
he allowed Appointment Clerk Eugene

ocratic party.-Indianapolis Journal

In most Southern States elections
are worse than farce. Minorities have
ruled and majorities have been power
less to prevent, because the election

Combine" The latter is one of the
greatest loads we have to bear. We
can raise our cattle and hogs and the
grain to feed them, but when we ship
them to the market we have to take just
what we can get from the Dressed-beef
Combine. Almost every day we read of
some combine or trust being formed.
What for? To make its projectors rich
er and the farming and laboring men
poorer. These are grave questions, and
the only way we have of resisting them
is through the federation of the labor
ing masses, and sending men to the con-
gressional halls who will hold out for our
rights. Let us circulate petitions to
this end, and forward them to our
respective Congressman and Senators,
and if they won't stick to US and try to
remedy these evils let US send men
there who will. These are far more det-
rimental to our interests than our
merchants here at home. Who should
be, if they are not, interested with us
in this work, for our interests are their
interests, and without we succeed how
can the merchants do so? We would
like to have the views of educated men
in the Alliance on this question; that is,
men who can give more concise ideas.
There are men who are able to give
this thing to the public in clearer and
more lucid manner than we can, so let
us hear from them next-Cor. FaYettee

The paper and plastering are falling,
the roof leaks, and it is profoundly de-
pressing to see the home of one of our
greatest men so neglected.
The room to the right downstairs
was the Generals bedroom and stands
to-day exactly as he left it, with only
the difference made by the lapse of
forty-four years. Old Aunt Hannah,
still living, aged eighty-six years, was
Mrs. Jackson's maid and it was in her
arms she died.
The domestic life of the Jacksons
was one of exceptional beauty and de-
votion.
Just before his departure for his in
auguration in Washington Mrs. jackson
died. Two days after her funeral
he set out, lonely, broken-hearted
man, to accept the highest honor the
Nation could bestow, but it could not
tighten his dreadful sorrow, 1t was
while he was in Washington the fire oc.
CURED which destroyed so many valu.
able relics, but the Hermitage is still a
museum of curious and valuable gifts.
The tomb is in the southwest corner
of the garden, about one hundred yards
from the house. 1t is of solid limestone
The dome over the tomb is supported
by eight Doric columns resting on a
base of three steps. In the center is
the monument, on either side of which
is marble slab beneath which lie Gen.
eral and Mrs. Jackson.
General jackson had no children Of
his own, so left all his property to his
adopted son, who sold the Hermitage in
1856 to the State of Tennessee. Since
that time the family of the adopted son
have been tenants at will on the estate.
Successive Legislatures were puzzled
what disposition to make of the proper
ty. At one time it was offered to the
United States Government for branch
of West Point, and various schemes were
spoken of in connection with it. Seeing
this, and also that the property was fall
ing into decay, the Ladies' Hermitage
Association was organized, duly char
tered, and the State Legislature by act,
in 1889, intrusted to theircare the house,
tomb and twenty-five surrounding acres.
Their object is to purchase the valued
furniture and precious relics of General
jackson now in the homestead, also to
restore this historic mansion to its orig
inal beauty and grandeur, and save to
the nation a sacred spot where cluster
memories of holy domestic life and un-
faltering patriotism. As Mount Vernon
is saved, so do they desire to save the
Hermitage, repudiating thereby the Oft
repeated aphorism, Republics are un-
grateful"
The Hermitage is just twelve miles
from Nashville, Tenn, and can be
reached either by the railroad or by a
drive over magnificent pike, through
a beautiful country. Many persons visit
it now, and it is greatly to be desired
that it be, at an early date, put in order
beftting the memory of the grand old

REPEAL is IMPOSSIBLE.

The Fifteenth Amendment VIII Remain
in Force Despite Southern Protests.
We think Representative Bowles told
his colleagues in the Legislature of the
State of Mississippi some wholesome
truths concerning the chances of that
repeal of the fifteenth amendment to
the constitute of the United States
which a majority of the said Legislature
reques is the National Congress to con-
slider.
Said Mr. Bowles: "The adoption of
this memorial by this Legislature would
be an objectionable waste of time"
Most certainly. The fifteenth amend
