THERE seems to be a widespread mis-
understanding and distrust OF Mr..
Russell Harrison's latest freak. The
Chicago Herald says Of it:
Russell Harrison's paper, the Helena
Journal, has gone into an enterprise that
will be greatly appreciated by the republi
can organs which desire to get the political
news OF that state in a pure and unadulter-
ated form. 1t announces to the press that
on account "of the wild stories and garbIed
information sent from Helena during the
legislative squabble last year it has decided
to establish 6 system of special dispatches
to disseminate reliable news of the doings
of the Montana legislature this winter. 1t
IS natural, no doubt, that the republican
organ OF the stolen state should like to
have control of its political news. Owing
to its failure to obtain a monopoly last year
full accounts of the whole state-stealIng job
were spread over the country. 1t has
learned something since then, and if any
one hears of the doings this winter of the
Montana republicans. who. Judging by the
course Of Inc journal, are still bent on
political knavery. it will be because that
paper cannot prevent it.
oh, no, it isn't so bad as that. AS we
understand it the bureau was organized
to manufacture judicious public senti.
ment for a certain man from Indiana for
president in 1892. Instead OF being the
wicked conspiracy that the Chicago
paper imagines it to he, it is simply a
beautiful manifestation of filial piety.

Life After Forty,

The best half of life is in front of the
man of 40, if he be anything of a man. The
work he will do will be done with the hand
of a master, and not of a raw apprentice.
The trained intellect does not see 'men az
trees walking" but sees everything clearly

does not rush at work like a blind bull at
a haystack, but advances with the calm and
ordered pa. e of conscious power and DELHI
crate determination. To no man is the
world so new and the future SO fresh as to
him who has spent the early wears of his
manhood in striving to understand the
deer er problems of science and life, and
who has made some Roadway toward com

HOGS AND COTTON.
No Valid Excuse for Southern Farmers Not

No Valid Excuse for Southern Farmers Not
Raising Their Own bacon.
The transition from "hominyn TO
hog" is easy, but the same arguments
are not applicable. We mean to say
that cheap transportation is not sufii-
cient excuse for abandoning all efforts
to raise our own bacon" While there
may be but few farmers who ought TO
grow wheat, there are but few farmers
who can be excused for not raising
hogs. They are SO easily managed, so
,heaply fed, so generally exempt from
fatal diseases, and wlthal so profitable,
that we would rather-as an individu al
give up producing corn than raising
hogs. What is true of hogs is still
more strictly and generally true
Of milk, butter, beef and mutton, chick
ems, eggs. The trouble is our in
clinations are too strongly in favor of
cotton. Cotton is King" should read
Cotton is Master and the cotton
planters are his slaves 1t is the slav-
ish devotion to cotton as the sole resort
for a money income that has impover'
lshed so many southern farmers, and
bound them in debtors chains. Think
for moment of the cheap and fertile
soil, the mild and equable climate, the
great variety of forage and fattening
crops Of the south-cowpeas, sweet po-
tatoes, chufas, peanuts--not one OF
which can be produced in the north and
northwest--to say nothing OF Bermuda
grass, crab grass, corn, oats, rye, clover,
collards, sorghum, etc, which we can
produce just as we'll as they can be pro-
duced anywhere. Why talk about linn
iting the area devoted to cotton by co
operative effort, or resolutions, or wha,
not? What do the farmers do with
most Of the money they get for Their
cotton, after paying for the labor thai
produces it? Why, they buy bacon
