RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY PRESS
ASSOCIATION,

Resolved further, That we reiterate our
earnest re%probation of the injudicious, hurt
full and unbusiness like practice OF doing
public printing below legal rates. and for less
than the rates exacted of private individuals
and that any paper taking any public print
ing by offering a bonus or performing such
work free OF charge shall be r~efusedt the cour-
tssy of exchange by the papers Of the asso-
ciation, or otherwise dealt with a. the asso-
citation may decide; provided, that any paper
belonging to this association, which may be
thrown in competition for public printing
with one not a member and thus not obliged
to obey our rules shall be considered exempt
from the operation of this regulation.
Resolved, That the newspapers of the State
be requested to print the last preceding res
olution at the head of the first column of the
editorial page, for at least one issue, to the
end that the purpose thereof may be known
to the publishers of ~wspap not repre-
scented at this meeting. q

The legislature of Tennessee, Mis-.
souri,, Arkansas and several other
southern States, have refused to make
any appropriation for exhibits at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago, in 1893, until
the disposition of the force bill in
Congress has been settled.
ShOuld the sectional co~nspirators
succeed in passing that infamous meas
ure, there should not be a dollar given
by any southern State to the Chicago
exhibition. The two senators from
that State can defeat the bill when the
final vote comes, and the legislature of
Illinois has requested those senators to
vote against it.
1t is nonsense for the southern States
to aid a State whose senators vote
to pass a law expressly to humiliate
the white people of the south, de-
range and injure their financial meas
ures, and raise turmoil and commotion
that a only create trouble, and check
the onward march of prosperity on
which this part of the country is now
started. One can not forever be struck
with a .mallet without returning the
compliment sometimes.

John James ingalls,, the Kansas
coyote, whose term as Senator Of the
United States will expire on March 4
1891, will be allowed to partake of the
fslicities of private life, the Farmers
Alliance having elected w. A. Pfeffer
as his successor. Ingalls, is a brilliant
and able man, who has spit a great
deal of venom upon the people of the
South, but since his opposition to the
conspiracy of Republican Senators
and Ben. Harrison to convert this gov
eminent into a mobocracy has been
developed one cannot help but sympa-
thise with ingalls, in his defeat.

The trial of the Provenzano prison
ers, accused of waylaying and firing
into a wagon load of people in one OF
the principal streets of New Orleans,
has been concluded by a verdict, from
the jury, of 'not guilty" This deci.
sion may be right and just, but the
broad fact that a half dozen men in
New Orleans, car on a public street,
waylay and fire upon their fellowmen,
wounding and killing them, without
being arr ested, stands out prominent
ly. Because if the accused were inno-
cent, some others must be guilty, and
they have not been found.

The officers who have been sent out
by the government to investigate the
proposed improvements in Berwick's
Bay, by deepening the Atchafalaya
river to the Gulf of Mexico, have re-
ported adversely. They say that il
would cost four hundred thousand dol.
lars to dredge that river, whilst the
commerce therein would not justify an
expense of SO much magnitude.

The election of Irby Is senator from
South Carolina, and Pfeffer from Kan
sas as senator from Kansas by the
Farmers Alliance party. removes all
doubt Of the power and influence that
that organisation may have as a poll
teal factor.
At the same time those two men are
far below the mental caliber of Hamp-
ton and ingalls, whom they replace,
and will not cut much of a figure in
the senate of the United States.
1t is true that the farmers are not
men of profound craftsmanship al
though they are possessed of great
deal of hard common sense. They
have discovered that they have, for
years, been made the tools of the lead
ers of the great political parties, and
have becOmed tired of s~cerching their
fingers, pulling chestnuts out of the
ashes for other men to eat. 1t took
them a long time to make the discov-
cry but they have made it.
The men, who are at the head, may
not be as great men as the country can
produce, but they will be able to
change the drift of the Legislation SO
that laws will be enacted hereafter
that will have the farmers and labor
ers in view, and not those only of Van
derbilt, Gould ct cetera.

The report of the crops of the year
1890 published by the department Of
Agriculture il interesting and instruc-
tive.
The average rainfall was 12a per
cent more than the normal precipita-
ton calculated from the records of sew
eral years. The very mild winter had
a p%ernicious influence on winter wheat,
being unprotected by SHOWS, beneath
which it flourishes vigorously. Wheat,
when harvested, yielded about 81 per
cent of an average crop.
The gross aggregate of the corn crop
was only about 20 per cent of the crop
of 1883.
The oats yield was about 20 per cent
of an average crop. producing 1913
bushels per acre, the lowest rate ever
reported for that crop.
The irish potato crop, suffered from
unfavorable weather, both at time of
planting and of harvest.
The average yield was SIS bushels
per acre, the lowest yield, except two,
that has yer been reported.
The cotton crop of 1889 vas the
largest ever grown, but that Of 1890
will probably surpass that one. The
United States grows three fourths of
the cotton consumed in the manufac-
lures of the civilized world.
The sugarcrop has been a large one;
the outturn of sugar cane in Louisiana
being evidently in excess of that of
last year. The year marks an impor-
tant forward step in our experiments
with other sugar-producing plants
the making of sugar from beets having
been a commercial success in Nebras-
ka, Kansas, and CALIFORNIA. The re-
suits of this campaign give promise
that the time WHOM this country shall
be less dependent for this staple arti-
Gle upon the plantations of foreign
countries is at hand, and it NAV be
that within a few years tho 800, DOC, 900
annually sent abroad will 60 to the
pockets Of our own farmers.
The fruit crop was almost a COM
plete failure except in California, and
in that favored state only a medium
yield wal realized.
The decline of the wool clip. which
begun with the slaughter of focks in
1884-5 has been checked.
The estimated yield of 1890 ia
ZIG, 600 pounds, an increase Of
11,OOO,0O 0 pounds over that OF 1889.
The area Of corn planted was reduc-
ed by failure, partial and complete by
more than 6,OOO, 900 acres, the number
of acres harvested being estimated at
71,970,763 acres.
The estimated product is
1,4s9. 100000 bushels, or a yield of
POI bushels per acre. This is the
smallest crop grown since 1881, with
the exception of that OF 1887.
While the crop of corr aggregates
only 10 per cent of that of 1889, its
money value to the grower is
1856, OOO, 900 greater.
Louisiana produced, on 1,O61,169
acres OF growing, 1878, 900 bushels
OF corn, valued at 81 1856, O93.
Of oats on 1882 acres sown.
567 900 bushels were grown estimated

Pomona, Cal, is to have fig orchard of 760 acres; 73,000 trees which will be imported from Syria. Better try our blue or black fig. It is splendid bearer and excel lent fruit.
 There is no doubt but that the famous talked of Host Pegleg" Gold mine can now be found. There will be water for some time to come, and feed for animals will line the banks of the present lakes and streams in the Salton desert, and parties will thoroughly pros pect that section lying between Indian Wells and Indio.
 There is little doubt that Ari- zona in former ages supported a larger population than the same area in any of the older states at present. Those ancient people lived on crops grown by irrigation. Arizona should be the keystone of the continent. Her position, climate and soil are all of the best. San Diego Sun.
 The statement made by Major John w. Powell, director of the |. s. Geological survey that "the waters of the Colorado are saline" is another of those "mossback 'Poic' ideas of the Nile of the west and shows the utter ignorance which characterizes the statements by such a class of"Smart Alecks." :" They think that they know it all. Any mule or burro on the river kaows better.
 "Yuma county seems to be do- ing something these days. The flood must have made the people mad down there, for they are do- ing seme splendid work for them selves and the county.-Phoenix Gazette.
 Yes, the flood did put a little grit into our people, not only this, they we'll know that Yuma is to be the railroad center of Arizona. It will shortly be the terminus of the Yuma, San Diego and San Quentin, the Grand Canyon, and the West Mexican Pacific rail- roads. The first will be not less than 800 miles in length, the second 800 and the last named 2,500 including it's branches to Salt Lake, Guerro and other points in Mexico.
