Eighteen professors of Amherst college
appeared in print Monday with declara-
tion for Mr.. Cleveland under the guise of
the most fulsome laudation of CHS cour-
age, his constancy, his neglect of all per-
sonal interests for the public good" " etc
1t was an unusual and entirely unwarrant-
ed attempt to commit an institution of
learning to the fortunes of political par
ty, and it met with prompt and indignant
dents and the alumni. The young men of
the college are Republican by strong ma
jority, and the feeling aroused is such
that it has already rejected in favor of the
Republican party.

Some of the Vermont newspapers have
appeared as champions Of the mmbermen,
claiming that there is no good reason for a
law to prevent the dumping of sawdust in
to lakes and streams. The mind from
which such an argument emanates confines
its vision to present pecuniary advantage,
without bit of sentiment, or appreciation
of natures lOyeliness, or Of the rights Of
the great body of the people. If our lum-
bermen cannot exist without using our
lakes and streams to carry off their saw
dust it is time they went out of business
Many of our streams and ponds have al
ready been ruined, not only for fishing
but for other purposes. 1t is time to call a
halt, and in a vigorous way. The water
courses of the state are not the heritage of
the lumbermen on the one hand, or of the
fishermen on the other, but of all the peo-
pie

Reduce Cotton Acreage.

Editor PI,WUNE:-The question of reducing the cotton acreage i> be- ing agitated by some of our leading men, and also by the press at large, but as every farmer, no matter how small his mental calibre may be, can readily see the importance of such action, why should we hesitate or be sloth to act
 The recent convention, which wl~ held at Memphis, in the interest of the cotton growers of the South, rec. omncnd that we reduce the cotton acreage al Ieas' 20 per cent, and or ganizc by county, districts ant townships, that we may have the co- operation of all in working to this end.
 find plenty of men ready to say that we farmers cannot effect any thing in this direction and are ready to despond before the work is begun, but l feel assured that if we never make an effort our accomplishments will be very limited, and success will not be ours. So say, come along brother farmers, aud let IFS combine against "king cotton
 It seems to me that organization by townships would be the proper elementary step to be taken in bring ing about this reduction of acreage, for every man would feel far more personally interested, and each and all have an opportunity to pledge themselves in accordance to the course pursued.
 This is q matter of direct interest to every farmer and, it also applies to his euure family with equ | force. for where is the man that can prop crly educate his children, or meet tue necessary dcmauds of his family, by raising cotton at cts.
 We must act upon this cotton rais- ing business. or subject ourselves to mortgage, debt and poverty forever.
 Of course we are obliged to raise some cotton, but not to the exclu.

DEMOCRATIC REFORM.

Democrats are determined that the a2ud Congress shall not be eN' trayagant and corrupt, like it's prede- cessor. the Republican billion dollar Congress. And this party of the people. having now majority in the House can dictate expenditures. The following resolution, in the line of true economy and reform, was intro duced by Mr Holman, of Indiana, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee. and was adopted by the House:
 ReSoIred. That in the judgment of this House, the granting ot sub sidies or bountes by Congress Tn money. public lands, bonds, or by endorsement, or by pledge of the public credit, to promote special prl- vate industries or enterprises Of cor porations independent of the ques- iion of the constitutional power of Congress to make such grants IS un- iust and impolitic, and in manifest conflict with the spirit of our rcpub- lican institutions as it directly tends to create and foster the wealth Of ia vored classes at the expense ot the whole people, who bear the burdens of government, and manifestly fur nishes undue facilities for the en- largement of great private estates, a policy which a government of the people cannot justly or safely en- courage by any form of favorltlsm m legislation.
 Resolred, That in view of the present condition of the treasury and because efficient and honest govern ment can only be assured by frugal expenditure of the public money, while unnecessary and lavish eXpen- allure under any and all conditions leads inevitably to vcnal and corrupt methods in public affairs, no money ought to he appropriated by Con- gress from the public treasury eN- .cept such as is manifestly necessary to carry on the several departments frugally, efficiently and honestly ad- ministered.

sion of corn, hogs, stock, and other crops, which are more profitable than cotton
 Certainly there are many that claim they are too dependent to leave off cotton. Tenants say they cannot get supplies unless they promise large cotton crop. All these are serlous obstacles we are bound to acknowl- edge. and will have to be removed somewhat like the COW ate the grind stone-rather slowly-but the soon- CT undertaken the quicker the prob lem solved.
 Those who do not possess land or stock would have to ask the cooper ation of the land owner and also the merchant,
 Learn to live at home-that is, to produce more of the necessaries of life at home, and discard enormous credit prices, which will enable Us to slowly but surely regain our lost in- dependence.
 We want more diversified industry on the farm and we must have 1t. Stock raising, poultry, peas, pota- toes and truck farming, would open up new fields of labor and thereby assist the farmer in releasing the shackles of cotton slavery.
 Reducing the cotton acreage is something that must be considered from a strict business standpoint, and let every cotton grower bear In mind that united we stand, divided we fall"
 We have already had enough talk on this subject, now we want to hear of those who are going to get down to business, and put their preaching into practice. l am going to grow less cotton. Let some of you older heads speak up. A. A. SUTTON.

SENATOR JONES' VIEWS.

From the Ouachta Herald.
 The following letter was handed us by friend, which speaks in most natterlng terms of the record made by our Congressman Hon. Thos. C.. McRae. He was in position to know the motive which actuated MT. McRae in casting his vote for Crisp as speaker.
 Il am one of those who believe that there are just as many upright and honest men living now as ever lived in the world, and l believe of the five and half million of Demo- crats ill this country, that a great majority of them are what they ought to be politically. While l was m favor of Mills election for Speaker l did not by aUy manner of means be- lievc that he was the only one of the two hundred and fifty Democrats Tn the House who was capable of occu- pying that position. On the contrary, l think quite a number would have made good Speakers and tmnk Mills defeat, while it was set back to him, was not SO great a calmlty as some people appear to think, because l think Crisp is as honest, as upright and as honorable as Mills or any other man, do not believe that his election means a back set to tar if reform. and l do not beheYe It means any sort of going back on any political grounds.
 l think Crisp made a mistake m not appointing Mills Chairman of the Ways and Means committee but tms is mere personal ambition ot Mills. because Springer has been ls congress longer than Mills, has been identified with tariff reform longer than he has and is as positive, as clear and as distinct in his declaration as anybody. hope that our people will appreciate these facts and do nothing unreasonable. McRae has made a very fine congressman, one of whom the district may he proud, and he has discharged his duty in an honorable and efficient way. He has made a record that, so far as am concerned, l do not believe is sur passed by that of any other man in Congress. for the length of time he has been in public service. l should be glad to hear from you at any time and to serve you whenever l can. am yours truly.

The insinuations by some of the papers in the district that MT. McRae voted for Crisp, hoping for personal preferment, will not inJure him in the minds of the honest voters of the district who know Tom McRae to be above such selfish motyes.- [ Philadelphia Siftings.
 Exactly, notwithstanding the fact MT. McRae was set back in the 5Oth Congress, when he ought to have had the same chairmauship he now holds, by reason of longest service on it and hard work. In voting for Crisp MT. McRae was in good com pany, a majority of his fellow Demo- crats. Besides the insnuations alluded to by Siftings, some go farther and try to gain additional unfair adv antagc by saying Mr. McRae will probably not run again. We don't believe such methods will win.

In speaking of the unfair criticism of some few papers, of this district, because Mir McRae voted for Crisp. the Morrilton Pilot says: They 'are doing MT. McRae an injustice. He was elected to congress because he was thought to have brains enough to represent the district, then to de- ny him the right to vote for his choice for the speaker of the House is to assert the fact that he is not competent to represent the district. Fms idea that some few are trying to ram down the throats of the people that Mir. Mills or Mr. Anybody else is the soul embodiment of tariff re- form, or any other doctrine of Demo. crary. is the ycriest baldcrdash. bun combe and pony cock. Tariff reform is a principle and is bound to triumph and it will fare just as well with MT. Crisp as speaker of the House as II would if Mir. Mills had been elect ed

In late press interview Hon. Roger c. Mills said he is going to oppose attacking the Mckinley robber tariff by piece-meal, the plan agreed upon by the Democratic majority in the House. Mr. Mills has also refused to serve as chairman of the Commerce committee, which is one of the most important com mittees. It seems that Roger c. v evidently thinks himself the great mogul, giant, and law-giver of the Democracy wants to rule or ruin. And it looks like his friends in the newspaper world, have the same domineering disposition. He and his friends will soon see they cant rule this government.

The expression he isn't in it, is sald to have been originally used by an editor who died and went to heav- en. and then looked around for the man who took his paper for three years and then left it in the post office marked "refused."
