PITTsBURG. Oct. 27.-Word was received
tonight from Brownsville, Pa, some sixty
miles up the Monongahela river, that 400

the disease hog cholera of the very worst
form.
HUNDREDS SENT TO PHILADELPHIA.
Meanwhile the rest of the drove, some
700, had been driven through the streets Of
Brownsville and shipped east, mainly to
Philadelphia. Many of the hogs dropped
dead on the streets. but were picked up
and shipped with the living. Many owned
by farmers in that vicinity have since died
The matter is now in the hands of the state
board of health, but owing to the delay in
notifying the proper officials it is not
thought the diseased hogs can be traced.

GOTHAM DENIED A RECOUNT.

His Chief Clerk

His Chief Clerk.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Secretary Noble
to-day rendered decision denying the ap-
plication of Mayor Grant for a recount OF
the population of the city of New York.
Secretary Mobiles reply to Mayor Grants
application covers sixteen foolscap pages,
closely type written. The main points
which the secretary makes are, that the
mayor has presented no reasons why
another enumeration should be made, moth
ing, in fact, but his statement that the
original count was incorrect, and his de-
mand that another be made
NO EVIDENCE PRESENTED.
To support his statement the mayor has
presented no evidence, and against bis de-
mand the secretary quotes the law, which
specifies that the census shall be taken in
June. The secretary quotes approviugly
and amplifies Chief Clerk Childs' letter to
Mayor Grants original demand for a re-
count, and goes into an exhaustive defense
OF the work of the census bureau in the
country at large as well as in New York.
In regard to the mayors contention that the
recent police census was improvised by al
expert commissioned by the census office,
the secretary says Mr.. Olcott was merely
present as a spectator for the purposes Of
information. that he had no official function
to discharge and did not assume any, and
moreover that the police census had been
two days in progress before Mr.. Olcott
presented himself to Mayor Grant. The
secretary's letter follows the line Of argu-
ment OF the chief clerks letter to Mayor
Grant, which has been widely publ shed.

HOW TO MANAGE COLORED
FARM LABOR.

1t looks as if Col. Albert Fl. Cox,
the Atlanta lawyer, who farms in
Morgan county, had pretty well solved
the difficult problem of successfully
managing colored farm labor. His
plan is original, and has panned out
well for himself. He handles his
plantation as well as he speaks, and
that is saying a good deal.
He took large farm as debt that
he could not save otherwise. 1t was
rather run down, and a season or two
under the old system left him in bad
fix. Shifty and pluckful, he went to
thinking. His trouble was unreliable
labor. He could not sell or abandon.
He must devise way to use the col
ored help proftably. And he did.
He solved the problem. He made
good crops. He brought up his land.
He did so we'll, he bought more land.
He has 1000 broad acres now, that
blossom in crops. The clarion tAlker
has become practical farmer, and a
growing stock raiser.
Here is his plan Simple and solid
it is, and one wonders some sharp
fellow did not hit on it before.
He contracts for good monthly
wages, $8 $40 and $l2 per month
and feed. He only pays half in cash,
reGerving the other ha until the end
of the year. The So hand, for in
stance, gets 81 a month down, and
waits until the year is up for the
other 81. The 81 and his feed run
him. The debt of the master to him
grows $4 monthly, and at six months
is $24, getting bigger and holding
him faster every month. When
harvest comes, and the risky time is
at hand to lose him, from the offer Of
larger temporary wages, he is tied
fast, because if he leaves, he, under
the contract, forfeits his accumulated
and growing half of his earned and
earnable wages. He does not leave.
His interest in things is tremendous
stimulus and clamp. That $48 at the
end holds him like vice. 1t makes
the hand steady, industrious, reliable,
immovably clutched. 1t gives the
farmer a worker he can depend on,
and that improves.
This plan is good sense itself,
square business, and has worked like
charm.
There are some other things about
Cox's farming that will do to tell, but
they will have to wait until next time.

TO BEAT THE EXPRESS.

Another new thing under the sun.
Pneumatic tubes for sending small
packages a short distance have some
time been in use. But it is now pro-
posed to send packages in this manGier
from New York to Philadelphia. By
the time the Columbia Fair opens we
may thus be operating between Gin
cinnati and Chicago, and between st.
Louis and Chicago. 1t is intended to
supercede both the mail and express
for light packages between neighbor-
ing cities, by means of a double pneu-
matte tube.
8. B. Leake, of Philadelphia, is the
inventor of the new project and hopes
to have it in working order soon. He
expects that speed of four miles per
minute can be attained with all kinds
of small articles. Mr.. Leake claims
that he will have branches and stations
on the line between New York and
Philadelphia, all under the control of
the operator. Newark, Paterson,
Trenton, New Brunswick and other
towns are to be reached by switch
ing system which be claims will work
with ease. He also claims that he has
discovered a method by which the
effects of friction will be largely over
come, and that inertia has been over
come to such an extent that instantan.
eous stops can be made in the tube at
any point without injury to the pack
age.
The vehicle is to be little car with
wheels, thu bearings of which will be
in journal of asoestos and plum bago.
A block system is proposed as on the
large railroads to prevent accidents,
an indicator telling at just what point
she carrier is at a given time. A test
line is to be established between Jer-
sey City and Newark at an early date.
This will cover a distance of eight
miles. "The world do move"

tors for Ingalls,. They will not find
these men their prey on their so called
hunting expedition. The peoples men
are not for sale, but if their should be
found one in the ranks willing to
betray the trust of the people, they
would be decapitated politically, and
stamped as the most Infamous of
traitors.
Farmers may read reform papers and
listen to reform speeches forever and
a day afterwards, but unless they vote
right it will avail them nothing. The
ballot box is where it counts. The
ballot is what will knock old shylock
sky western crooked and give you
relief, or it will kill your own hops
and aspirations The ballot never
fails to hit either your friends or your
enemies. Then vote right. If your
interest is with labor vote for labors
candidates, but if with old shylock,
then vote for henchmen and your vote
will be right. - Wheel.
Who can adopt Senator Ingalls,
assertion that the great inventions are
the cause of so much inequality and
injustice? If such things increase
poverty, crime and misery they are
certainly curse to humanity. But
people can never be made to believe
that the cultivation of intellectual
power and the development of thought
and individuality necessarily bring
such train of evils. The time is
past when John J. Ingalls,, with all
his statesmanship (2) can convince the
people that legislation has nothing to
do with the present distress. - Western
Advocate.

HIGHLANDS ALLIANCE.

Mr.. EDITOR has been nearly q
year since we have seen anything in
your valuable paper from old Rich
lands, No. 1877. I hope it will not
be intruding upon your time to ask a
short space in that paper [ prize ABOVE
all others (THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER)
to inform you that we are still moving.
We were organized about one year
ago with fifteen members. Since
then we have increased our number
to seventy five, and more to be in
itiated at the next meeting We
have saved a goodly number of shill-
ings this season by operating our own
cane mill. Our managers last report
was very satisfactory, having stated
that enough syrup had already been
worked to pay for the mill and all
expenses. We think this doing well,
as we reduced the price from eight to
FIVE cents per gallon. We also run
the only cotton gin operated in our
town, which is turning out from the
press about ten bales day.
Our farmers are generally pleased
with the yield of their crops; good
many older farmers think The crops
will more than double that of last year.
Still the same old cry, "over-produc-

tlon, is ringing in the cotton markets,
when the farmer arrives with bale
of cotton; and thus we have to take
from eight to nine cents for the hard
earnings of our summers toll. We
wonder if any of those fellows who
cry over production so often ever

months of June and JulyI | am per.
suaded to think they would soon be
crying "too much over production of
heat in this place for me, and / shall
return to the city, where / can rest in
the shade, sing my old tune and swindle
farmers all my days for living"
To such an one We would say go,
thou art joined to thy idol; but we
will remember you when the Sub
Treasury becomes law. We farm
ers will do our own bidding. If such
fendish principles 60 on, the perpet-
rators will some day reach that coun-
try in which there is over production
of heat. He Will then look afar off
and see the poor farmer in peace and
plenty. 1t will be useless then to cry
for water to cool their parchlng
tongues, for there will then, as now,
be a great gulf between them, and the
farmer can only say we warned you
in yonder world But the lost per
petrator will request an angel to be
sent to his many brethren IN Wall
street, to warn them, lest they should
also inherit over production of heat.
The farmer need only say, they will
not believe, though an angel be sent,
for they have thu Farmers Allisnce;

have read and heard so much
about the unconstitu Gionality of the
Sub-Treasury plan of late, that am
reminded Of remark made by one
colored boy to another a short while
since. George and Julius went to the
boss man." as they called him, to
borrow his buggy to go to preaching,
but the boss mans buggy was already
loaned out
"Dat's de way It's; alters when we
wants to go anywhere all de bugg ;es

" But" says George to Julius, can
idea des nc9 struek ne, we kin git a
buggy from de widow, three or four
miles up de road, but it is right con
veniently out of de way"
1t is, brethren of the Alliance, when
we farmers most need our cause looked
after in the legislative halls; our off,
cials are all "loned out" SO to speak,
and when we want the Sub Treasury
plan, it is always right conveniently
unconstitutional.
