LAST week VIC received sample copy of a Nebraska paper, from which we gleaned many important facts con cerning tho conditions of the Western farmer. Tho name, Western Re sourccs," indicates that the paper is devoted to the development If the great
 West. While tho information We gath cred from it's plethoric columns was important and interesting, it was, also, teeming with \ character of facts that are well calculated to alarm the country in general and the farmers particularly. There IS something radically wrong in the West. and what the final results will Dc. no human intuitionx power can accurately predict, but it is clear that the Western farmer is having s hard time. and that his lot. is daily growing harder. "Kesources- tells us there arc hundreds Of farms in Nebraska which can be bought for the amount of the mortgage on them, and s25.0n addi- tional money. or enough to enable the owner to get out of the country. These mortgage liens run from $500 to ec0o on i60 acres of good, rich soil. The last corn crop averaged something near 40 bushels DIT acre. or xs it is stated in Resources. the yield of corn for the last season was from 70 to GO bushels oi good. sound corn to the acre. The p-o- pie are in snch destitute circumstances they are anxious to find t market for their corn at from nine to eleven cents bushrl. This is tremendously alarm ing for the Western farmer. He culti- yates m acre of ground in corn, and sells it for. say. 10 cents b.,shel which brings him. it making 70 bushels, &i.o0 gross, ss remuneration for til.ing An acre of soil. Contrast this with the condition of the Southern farmer. He cultivates an acre of ground in corn or cotton; if in corn. he makes 30 or 70 bushels per acre, and can readily sell it Ut 60 cents for cash, or 75 cents on credit with good security if in cotton. he makes 800 pounds of lint which is just the sxme as cash at eleven cents per pound, or $55.0o for the acres pro duction. The Southern farmer gets st5 to $o0 moro on the acre for cultiva- ting corn, than the Western farmer We all know that corn cannot be culti
 vated Ut q % per acre. though the land be given to the person tilling 1t.

We find in the Congressional Record the following language from the lipn of Senator Hoar. spoken from his seat in the senate: In the state of Louisiana, aud in somc of the other states. there were laws which made 1t penal of fense, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary. for white man to as- socixte on terms of equality with . black man. From u cnrsory view it would seem that such statement of falsshood ought to satisfy the most rabid Northern hxter of Southern pluck and bravery, but not 50 with this man. He goes on to say, in substance, that hc re- members another law which provided that when q colored person was out of work, he should be put up and sold and with great exclamation declares: /" might be sold by decree of xny lo- cal magistrate, and the former master was given the preference in the pur- chase"
 Allthe lsbors of peace mskcrs, North and south, with hope of burying sec tionalism, will fall perfectly nugatory, as long as such men xs Hoar are al- h~el to lead the Republican party. Senx.nr Eustis took occasion to show and declare at the first opportunity that no such laws ever existed in Louisiana. Senator Ioar knew. of course. he was tutoring base islanders, and that there was no truth In the statements, but he did not care for furnishing his veracity lie dil not object to resolving himself into human machine for the mxnu- factuve of highly oxygenixed material, if 1t would cause tho flAme of sectional ism to burn higher. and sxtinguish every remaining spark of patri otism from tho breasts of republicans; for the extinguishment Of patriotism, and tho substitution of ssctionalism. Is the re- publicAn's hope of remaining In power. It is mighty dark day when . rspub- ltcan stAtesmAn can't take the whole bakery for lyinG against tho south.

ONE of the most successful ways to ruin party is to permit it to become the prey of the office holding class. The Republican party of Arkansas has been and is still T sad example of the truth of this. It fell into the hands ef aa office holding oligarchy who ruled it with rod of iron. Its greed and the tyranny of the autocrats who ruled 1t drove thousands from It's ranks. A few men claimed all the offices as by divine right, perpetuated themselves in power and dominated the politics of the state. State and federal officers were the leading men on the commit- tees and in the councils of the party. The same spirit prevails in the Repub- lican organization to-day. Quito a number If the leading officials of the state are members of the several politi- cal committees. They appear to run politics for the offices and the offices for for politics. In such matters Demo. crats cannot afford to initiate them fbe man who holds an otlico. state or federal has no business on \ committee. --.ArkanSAs Democrat.

The woman who lead the would-be amszons who recently fought against saloon stock and property, in the city of I.athrop, Mo-, has fallen overheard into precipice of deep sorrow. Just .ns shs was touching the azure zenith of crusade glory. her husband, who is . preacher, discovered her in the act of violating ono of the best known aud least talked about of the ton command ments, with another of his leading church members as her psrti seps crim- inis. This little innocent diversion of the Christian wife, prompted the rover end husband to ask the court for . legal separation, and to tell the public, in language free from establishment, why he thus sought such separation. This started the lachrymal glands allowing and she has been greatly bowed down in grief ever since. She believes that evil deeds are not very evil, unless they are committed in the scope of public gaze, where the young may see and initiate them. The hurt Is in the ex. ample only.

As LATE as it Is in the season 1t seems that sll the crude cotton is net yet ginped Last week we saw wagon loaded with cotton bound f,r the gin to be made ready for the market. Such 2 load of cotton represents about 500 pounds If lint. and about sS bushels of seed. The market price of the lint is not less than ten cents per pound. UT $50. 00 for the 500 pounds. This amount grew on about one acre of land. and when we add the market price of the seed to the prics of the lint, 5000, we have about $55.O0 us a financial result for the cultivation of one acre os south ern soil in cotton. This is grand showing for the south; it proves 1t to be the best country for the farmer on earth.
