THE CROP Or Candidates.

Notwithstanding the fact that il is
a year and a half yet till another clcc-
ton. candidates for office are already
springing up like mushrooms. and cs-
pecially is this the casc in the matter
of the Circuit Judgeship in this Judi
cial Circuit.
Already we have heard the names
of the following gentlemen mentioned
as probable candidates: George W.
Carleton, of Pemiscot county: Henry
Reilly. of New Madrid county; II. G..
O'Bryan, of Mississippi county. the
present incumbent: VIM. Hunter. of

Oliver, of Cape Girardcau county.
1t is understood that a combine will
be made whereby to Dust Judge

who oppose him will be prepared to
enter into any kind of combination
between themselves to defeat him.

The statistician of the department
of agriculture has prepared a new Sc
rics of statistical illustrations. called
an Album of Agricultural Graphics.
II relates to values per acre, Oh the
basis OF values of products in the
hands of the farmer. To eliminate
annual fluctuations and obviate the
unfair showing of a single year of cx-
tremcs of yield or value the average
of ten years is taken, making The most
equitable possible basis of comparison.
In the plan of illustration the main
idea, that of the value per acre. is pre-
sented geographically, the diflercntia-
ton being shown both by the density
of color and distinct PECULIARLY of
mechanical drawing. by groups of
states, while the differences within
these groups are scen in the table of
state averages on the margin. As a
prominent element OF value per acre.
the yield per acre is conspicuously in-
Dictated on the field of each state. as
well as in the marginal table. The
crops which are the subjects of this
graphic illustration are corn. wheat.
pats, rye, barley, buckwheat. potatoes.
tobacco. Gotten and hay. The album
especially intended for reference

eyes, schools and public libraries.

The PRESIDENT.s SPEECHES.

1t has been very well known for a
long time that President Harrison has
a peculiar gift for making short
speeches. No candidate ever made
so many and such good mes as he did
during the campaign that resulted in
his election. 1t was expected, then,
that OH his trip this month his adj
dresses would be felicitous.
The speeches he has made since he
left Washington have been printed in
the newspapers, and we are sure the
readers will agree with us in saving
that they are a most remarkable series
of short talks. At each place he has
something to say that is worth hear
ing. often enlivened by a local allusiOn
which is not taken from the cyclic
pedia-and all showing i knowledge
of the country that is large and COM
prchensive.
The President is, of course, careful
to avoid partisanship in his remarks,
but he could not avoid referring. at
such places as Knoxville, Chattanooga
and Birmingham. where the many
manufacturing establishments are the
direct fruits of the protective policy.
to the d%eslrableness of further devel-
opment of manufacturing industries.
and the wisdom of creating a home
market. In the State of Alabama. too
he could hardly have rrfrained from
mentioning the tremendous possible
tiles of expansion of our trade with
the countries to the south of us. and
TO the need of encouraging and build
ing up the interest of American ship
ping.
The best people of the South. the
most intelligent and progressive. are
practically united in favor oftllcsc pol
icics. They have wit enough TO see
that in a continuance ofprotcction and
in the development of onr American
merchant marine lie great possibilities
for their States. The beginnings only
are made of a business prosperity
whose full development no man can
foresce. provided the national policy
remains what IT is. II it be partisan
ship to remind the southern people of
these things. that is not the fault of
the Republican party. 1t is the fault
of the Democratic party alone, which
has always opposed and does to-day
oppose all progress: which wants 10
develop foreign industries at the
expense of American, and which
would. il It could. forbid an American
butt ship from ever carrying American
goods under the Stars and Stripes to a
foreign country.
The Presidents speeches contain
more genuine American patriotism
than the people ofthe Southern States
have heard in a long time; and the
reception of his remarks at Birming-
ham proves that in their hearts the
people of that most progressive of
southern cities + in sympathy with
him.

William f. Story. of Buffalo, has
been rewarded for his virtue. Some
years ago his uncle offered to give him
$1,000 when of age if he would not
smoke, chew, drink, nor gamble until
that time. lie kept his pledge. but
the uncle died before the time came
for payment of the money. The en-
ccutors refused TO pay ami story took
his claim into court. He has won
after several years litigation, aud his
inheritance has doubled so that he
now receives nearly $4,000 principal
and interest. But he has saved mnch
more 10 his own income by not spend
ing his money for tobacco.

SCHOOL COMMIsSIONERS.

The treatment that the lady candi-
dates for county commissioner of pub
lie schools received at the polls Oh the
9TH of this month will, We presume,
have a tendency to discourage them
in their political ambition. So far as
we are able to learn, Miss White, of
Knox county, was the only successful
candidate. In counties where there
we're only two candidates, a lady and
gentleman, the returns show that the
voters do not want 4 lady at the head
of their schools. 1t is vi opinion
that the people do NOT take the interest
in this Office that its Importance de-
mands. 1t is true that he has only
three duties to perform, viz: to settle
disputes between districts in regard
to their boundary lines, to examine
applicants, and to make a report to
the State superintendent. These make
the sum total of the requirements of
the law. but a commissioner who has
the welfare of the schools of his county
at heart, will do much more than this.
He vii! organize institutes, and will
secure competent instructors for the
same. BY this means the standard of
the teachers will he elevated, better
teachers will be furnished tor the
county. and better work will be re-
turned to the taxpayers for their out
lay. There is no office of more i'm
portance st the hands of the people
than that of county commissioner. lie
is responsible for the success and
progress ofour schools.

The estimate of the number of farm
animals. made at the end of each wear,
%returnablc TO the Department OF .Ag-
riculture, shows but little change in
numbers except on the Pacific coast
and certain portions of the Rocky
mountain area. where the winter of
lSS9-'90 was unusually severe. The
losses were especially heavy on the
Pacific coast. The number of mich
cows reported is 16,O19.591, an in
crease of 66. !uS from last year. The
other cattle aggregate 3~6,S75.6iS, III
Guiding those on ranches. The esti-
mated number of sheep is IS, 49,, 1856.
The tendency TO increase of numbers
is G in most of the States. The az
.regqic number of swine is 50.625, loo,
showing a decline ofncarly 2per cent.

cepts the efforts of the Department as
