refused the offer of a cool $1,00O for III
lot as it lay on the wharf. They hastt
80 acres 10 uncut of which Is acrt
are expected to give a better yield tina
the 20 just harvested. Can it be sail
that farming does not pay Vermilion.
The season is very favorable, just now
for hay making and a fine lot of it has
been pnt up. It would pay our farmers
we believe to put up good crab grass
hay for shipment.
A late issue of the Baton Rouge
Truth states that a farmer there has
just harvested nineteen and a half tons
Of crab grass hay from six acres of land.
This hay at the market price, $11 per
ton, gives a revenue of $2l4.50, or 1878
per acre. How does this compare with
raising cotton at z cents, especially
when the cost of the hay crop was only
in the harvesting!

The Fight Is On.

Representative Cochell, of the Illinois
legislature, in the course of an eloquent
speech nominating A. J. Streeter for the
United States senate, made use of the
following expressive language:
The fight is on, the revolution is here,
the conflict must and will continue; ig-
norance of the great underlying causes
that are producing the upheaval will
neither correct the wrongs nor avoid the
consequences; the emergencies of the
times will either produce statesman
ship capable of leading the toilng mill
ions to peace, prosperity, happiness and
contentment by solving the great eco
nomic problems that confront us, or the
inventive genius of men will go on null
tiplying forces to compete with labor in
the production of wealth, while a vicious
class system of distribution will continue
gathering into fewer and fewer hands
until our homes are lost, our liberties
are lost, and on the ruins of our grand
and glorious republic, the idol of all lib
erty loving patriots, the guiding star
and hope of the oppressed of all nations,
will be erected a plutocracy of wealth
and power such as the sun of heaven
never shone upon, unless Gods toiling
millions prevent the consummation of
the dastardly and damnable conspiracy
outside of the halls of legislation.

DeSperate1v in Earnest.

Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, retires to
private life. The peoples party elect
their first representative in the United
States senate. The senatorial campaign
in Kansas was a bitter one. The farm
ers have had no paper outside Kansas to
plead their cause before the people. We
have been told over and over again that
the farmers would split on some petty
question; that they never could agree on
any one candidate, and that in any event
a nobody" would be sent to take the
place of the brilliant Ingalls,.
They did not split, they did agree on
a single candidate, and they have Sc
lected a man who is decidedly .ssome-
body" It is not our purpose to de-
nounce Mr.. Ingalls, or to glorify his de-
feat. We merely wish to call the a+-en-
ton of thoughtful and conservative east
ern farmers to the fact that the peoples
party of Kansas is desperately in ear
nest, and is composed of strong, fearless
and clear headed men, who are bound
to make themselves felt in national
legislation.-Rural New Yorker.
