A REFORM CONGRESS.
Representatives of the Alliance,
Prohibition and Labor in Chicago.

CnICAGo.-It is safe to say that
such gathering as that which assembled
here Wednesday morning has seldom, il
ever, been seen before. 1t was the Ma
tional Conference of representatives of
the various political reform movements
now existing in this country, including
prohibitionists, farmers, laborers, Green.
hackers, general rcformcrs. etc.
Miss Francis +. Willard presided and
stated the object of the Conference to be
to devise ways and means of clccting II
President of the United States who will
with one blow kill the rum traffic.
Among those present at the mce' ing
we're: Lady Somerset; Geo. A. Wash
burn, of Boston, secretary Of the pco-
pes party; Gilbert Dclemator, of Ak
ron, Ohio, Grecnb ickcr; Mrs. Anna NJ
Diggs, OF Kansas; Gen. Weaver, Of Iowa

Turning to Tobacco.

Many of thc Georgia cotton growers,
who have been grooming over tho low
price "f their crop, arc turning their at
tcntion to the tobacco plant, which may
possibly be raised in the State with
profit. There is now great demand
for tobacco seed in Georgia, and the
State Commissioner of Agriculture says
that vast amount Of tobacco will bc
planted there this year.
The Georgia Commissioners opinion is
that the frmcrs OF the State should
raise more grain than they have been in
the habit of raising, and we guess that
this is sensible opinion. 1t is nn opn-
ion that was sustained by tho Cotton
Growers Convention recently held iu
Memphis.

One of the avocations to which General
Booth has assigned part Of the outcasts

extremely successful, so that General
Booth is now one Of the largest wood

An American boHthu!!dcr E.hc las Just
built small steamboat for the Magda-
lcne River, in the United States of Co.
lombia, says "rhcy get $3.50 per 100
scngcrs, $40 extra if they take room.
But there is hardly one who wants Il
room. They all carry their bed with
them. IL consists Of Il straw mat. You
will sec them come aboard with beds un-
der their arms. Along this river there
is some very fine land. Everything
grows without aid. They never plow
or hoe, but just pat the se3d in the
ground and go off and leave it till it gets
ripe. They can raise three crops of corn
a year, and fine potatoes. Vegetation OF
every kind grows the year round. The
climate is just the sane, never varies
moro than ten degrees. 1t is now scv.
enty-fiyc degrees. Mosquitoes and alli-
gators arc plentiful on the river. 1t is
amusing to sec tho monkeys play iug on
the trees as VIC pass, and the a!ligators
plunging iuto the water. Tlerc is no
system about boating down here. They
are never in a hurry and take no care OF
anything. If they had full crew of ouI
stcamboatmcn they would get rich i'll
short time"

American visitors in England are
often surprised to find unfamiliar names
of Engiishmen current there as the in
ventors of what they had always been
accustomed to regard as the creation of
American brains. 1t is not Cyrus
Fields name that is spoken there in con-
nection with the Atlantic cables, nor
Singers with the sewing machine. In
fact, laments the Boston Transcript, few
things are ever seen labelled "Ameri-
can"in London shops, no matter what
thsir origin may have been, that are not
of the cheapest and often most inferior
description.
