THE HOPE OF THE SOUTHERN FARMER.

From many parts of the South reports
-aonaa tlat< in .siuC.
AttentioA to other oropss We mag. hope that
thisis . Permanent departure. and that, even
should the price OF cotton improve, farmers
will not return to the old one crop practice.
Every year that the new policy is tried will
strengthen its hold, by showing the increased
comfort and independence of those who raise
their own grain, fodder, meat etc. Itisnot
cotton alone that has encouraged the one
crop idea. Wherever there are special in
ducements to raise q certain crop-it may bs
cotton, tobacco, garden truck, etc.-there is
tendency to ignore everything else. 1t, of
course, requires less all-round knowledge,
and less effort to 60 in the same rut wear
after year, than to try to succeed in various
lines, and this, NO doubt. explains largely
the present situation. Farmers should,
however, remember that, like others Ito be
successful they must be progressive, and to
get the full benefit Of their occupation they
must be constantly striving after larger and
better results.
The unsatisfactory condition of Southern
farmers IL the result mainly of trusting TO
ono crop for everything. Tho recent low
price of cotton has increased the distress,
but every one knows that the complaint
is chronic, and that farmers have boon bor

Denounced hy NJ. HItt.

WAsHISGToS, Nav 3-After the
House had approved the journal, Mr..
Geary, of California, presented the con-
ference report on the Chinese bill and
demanded the previous question. Mr.
Hit, of Illinois, opposed the report
The agreement of the conferees
was more satisfactory than the
House bill, but openly violated faith
and was a rupture of our relations
with China. 1t compelled every China
man to go and get ticket-of-leave
Never before in the history of civilized
communities was any such system en-
forced, except in the days of slavery
This treatment was outrageous and a
blot on our name as nation of free
people. He condemned this kind of
legislation. Our relations with China
were already sufficiently strained.
Mr.. Hooker, Democrat, of Mississippi,
in opposing the report said there never
was a time when the habeas corpus
was denied as in this bill. BY it the
judge was allowed to imprison the
party and deny bail, 1t was a direct
violation of the treaty of 1850.
Mr.. Geary of California who pre-
sented the report said there was
nothing in the act which suspended
the writ of habeas corpus, nor did it
deny the right of bail. The bill simply
said the judge should not take bail in
the first instance. The bill attempted
to stop leaks in the existing laws and
left the final settlement of the question
to future Congresses.
Mr.. Hooker demanded the yeas and
nays. The conference report was then
agreed to-veas, 1856: nays, %.

4 Definition.

The difficulty of defining certain very
simple words is known to no one better
than to the makers of dictionaries. The
word life" has bothered definers II :,rca.
deal; and one photographer was unable
to do any better, in making his ,lictioa-
airy, than adopt a schoolboy's definition
of the word. What is hfe?" asked the
schoolmaster. Being alive" answere
the boy: and the photographer put il in
his dictionary as his formal definition of
the word-"the state of being alive"
The most elaborate scientific Geffni-
ton of the word does not define it bet
ter, because men of science do not really
know what life is. In a certain text
book of science, used in great college.
the definition of the word was the fol-
lowing:
Life Is that property residing in an
organism by means of which it is en-
abled to appropriate materials from
other organisms, and assimilate them to
its own structure"
There was in the class which was 60
ing over this subject a youth TO whom
an understanding of this formidable
definition was utterly impossible. He
was called upon, one day, by the pro-
fessor, to tell what life is.
The student struggled hard to recall
the definition, which he had laboriously
committed to memory. But it had now
utterly gone from him. He was not the
youth, however, TO sit down without
making any answer at all; so he boldly
said:
Life, professor, is all a fleeing
show"
He said it so sincerely. and the answer
seemed to reflect SO faithfully his feel
ings at the time, that the professor
smiled and said:
Il don't know but that is as good a
definition of it as any."-Youth's Com
panion.

AFTER THE READING.
CONGRESS WILL ATTEMPT TO
CORRECT SUCH EVILS.
monopolies Are Passing the Limits
of federation and a Great Effort Will
Be Made to Enact Legislation for
Their Suppression.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Congress is
after the Reading monopoly with a
sharpened hardwood stick 1t appre-
ciates the difficulty to be overcome in
wrestling from so great corporation
its power; but it also appreciates its
own greater power and has faith in its
ability to bring the Pennsylvania trust
to its knees. The subcommittee of
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
committee consists of able, intelligent
men, and if there is any virtue in the
antitrust law, the people may rely
upon the subcommittee reporting in
favor of instructing the Attorney GEN
eral to apply it in the Reading case,
and Of the whole committee and
later Congress adopting the
report meeting will I'M
doubtedly be held this week, and
sessions continue daily until the re-
port shall have been completed.
The opinion prevails that the pass
age of a new law will be neces-
sary before the Reading monopoly
can be destroyed. This opinion
is based on the fear that the
committee will be unable to establish
the fact that deal has been entered
into. No one doubts its existence, but
the difficulty is to prove it. The a6-
vance in the price of coal, following so
closely upon the heels of the forma-
ton of the combine, is regarded as
sufficient evidence for belief, but
not for legal proof. Mr.. Stout
is, nevertheless, sanguine of bring
ing the march of the monopoly over
the heads of the people to halt, if not
Immediately, surely in the near future
Despite the increase in the price of
coal, followed by greatly increased
profits, the hardships of the thousands
of poorly paid miners are intensified,
and if this doesn't generate a public
feeling against the monopoly Sufficient
to crush it Mr.. Stout and his colleagues
will be forced to be contcnted with
their own good intentions.

Sensational Discoveries Made by the Po-
lice at Liege.
BRU ssELs, May 4.-The Magistrate
who is inquiring into the explosion that
wrecked the residence of Count Min
nete at Liege, says that the bombs
were charged with twenty-five l1ilo-
grams of forcite. Fourteen Kilograms
more Of the explosive have been stolen,
and fresh outrages can be expected.
The police declare that in their raids
upon the houses of the anarchists they
have discovered evidence of a most
formidable conspiracy, the head
quarters of which is in Liege
The conspirators, they say, are a
thoroughly organized body, and their
aim is to terrorize the law-abidiug pop
ulation by means of explosions. Some
of the conspirators sought employ
ment~aat the various manufactor-
les OF explosives, where, once at
work, they made it their business to
steal as much of the explosives as they
possiby could. The stolen material
was delivered to other members of the
gang, who loaded it into cartridges
and these men in turn delivered the
cartridges to the third section, who
had been selected for the work of plac-
ing the cartridges wherever it was de-
clded to cause an explosion. The
police say that with the information
that has come to them they will be
able to arrest many of the men en-
gagged in this plot.

Bishop Fosters Episcopal Address to

OMAHA, May bishop Warren, the
rich bishop OF Denver, presided at the
opening session of to-day's Methods,
conference. DIR. Myley of New York
conducted the devotional exercis es.
Chancellor Creighton of Lincoln at
once moved that all the necessary
motions and ex-parte remarks be
eliminated from the record before il he
printed, but DR.. Nicely of Philadelphia
opposed this, saying that the re, ord be
true, not a garbled one. Dr. Pendle-
ton OF Kansas had the motion tabled
without further discussion.
Sanford Hunt of Genesee asked unan,-
nous consent to have a committee Oh
memoirs appointed. 1t was granted,
and DR.. Buckley of New York addressed
the convention on the abuse of the
memoirs at the last conference. He
said that the length of some of the
papers was so appalling that
half of the conference went
out while they were being read.
He moved that all memoirs written be
restricted to fifteen minutes and all ex-
temporaneous addresses be kept down
to five minutes, in order to make me-
mortal service a tender one and not a
scandalous farce. This evidently
aroused the ire of several, as instantly
a dozen were on their feet. Dr. Leon
ard of Ohio became acrimonious and
moved to make the limit twenty
minutes, and failing to get stand at
tempted to make a speech, but the pre-
vlous question was then demanded and
the motion was carried.
After the appointment of commit
tees the order of business was taken up
and Bishop Foster began reading the
Episcopal address. After congratula-
ting the assembly upon it's suspicious
meeting and passing eulogies upon the
dead officers and laymen, he stated
that the past quadannum had been
prosperous one in the church and that
no bishops had died. The bishops
have made more that fifty thou and as
signments of ministers and families
