Pork rules higher now in market tnan
at any time within the past eight years.
During the past year our Georgia far
,ners have made considerable progress IN
the matter of diversifying their crops,
and they have proGted by the change,
but they have neglected hog raising. With
their increased corn supply it would be
easy to make this region produce its own
pork-all that is needed for home con-
sumption.
There is no good reason for waiting ull-
til hogs are full grown before killing
them 1t is q useless waste of corn. In
the west hogs are killed at the age of
nine months They make very good meat
then, and it will be found that it is true
economy to produce more hogs with the
same amount of corn.
Our farmers are getting along very well,
with this one exception. There is no good
reason for paying high prices to the west
for pork when we can produce all we
need here at home at comparatively little
expense. This is not a matter that will
stand delay. We have sent millions to
the west every year for meat, and the
present outlook points to higher prices
unless we change our policy. We must
turn over q new leaf and make hog rails
ing one of our prominent industries.

Whicl, Is Right?

a late number of The Century Maga-
zine contains Il breezy discussion of the
relative strength of the federal and CON
federate armies in the late war The dis
putants are Professor Denny, OF Macon,
Ga, and Mr. Castleman. both of whom
are doubtless capable and conscientious
gentlemen.
Keeping in mind the apothegm that
nothing lies like facts except it be figures
we need not be surprised at the striking
discrepancy in the arithmetical results
reached by these gentlemen
Professor Denny insists that the maxi
mum of the confederate enlistment did
not exceed 100000 of all arms. while his
opponent contends that it was not less
than 100000
tlis disparity Is accounted for in part
by the undue stress which MI CaStleman
lays on the working Of the conscrint act.
1t is Il notorious fact that The confederate
government was greatly disappointed iii
the numerical results Of that compulsory
measure. MIR. Stephens as late as 1864
believed that lis operation depleted the
confederate ranks. He argued that the
management of the cOnsclipt bureau took
from field service nearly as many men as
it put i'll the ranks. Besides he thought
that it greatly DANA ged The morale of The
army and thereby materially lessencd its
efficiency.
Mr.. Castleman is again at fault in his
estimate of the numbers which The CON
fcdcrate army drew from tie border
states. Missouri Kentucky, Maryland
and West Virginia furnished more union
than confederate troops. There is, we
allow, no possibility of arriving at the
exact truth in regard to the strength Of
either army. When it is remembered that
the federal government recruited largely
in Europe it may he safely assorted kat
these mercenary troops cOunterbalanced
all the troops which the south obtained
from the border states. There was hardly
u week in the year when q regiment OF
these hirelings was not brought III through

statement that the disparity III the fight

the south had it not been for the strict

The lack of military equipments Of all
sorts placed the south at great diSadyan-
tage. 1t is obviously to the discredit Of
the north that with its vast numerical
preponderance, it's greater wealth, ana its
immense naval power it was for four
years batllcd by the southern leaders The
only proper solution is found in the >upe-
rior fighting qualities of the confederate
soldiery aided BY the superior &cner9lshjp

In this country, among politicians it is
generally admitted that Senator Marcy,
of New York, first formulated this polit-
zeal doctrine. NileS's Register in 1882
had the following:

claim, as Il matter Of right, the advantage Of

Tne EioreSy Trials.

Tho Briggs and Smith trials, which
figure i'll our current newspaper litera-
ture, do rot rise to the dignity of a first
class sensation. The whole trouble
springs out of the fusion between the new
and Old school Presbyterians, which was
consunmated q few years ago. This long
standing feud between Yale and Prince
ton has never been thoroughly adjusted
The latter stands for orthodoxy, the for

ExTRA SESSION COMMENTS.
That Extra Session.

From The CcdartoWn Standard
The leading democrats Of the country are
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY Of an extra session
of congress after the adjournment of the
present session next March.
The Constitution has advocated 1t from The
first and has been the recognized champion
in the south Of this movement. We fail Ia
see any good reason why there should not
be immediate steps taken to put into law the
will of the people as overwhelmingly ex.
pressed at the recent election.
Every stump rang with the clamOr fr0m
lusty democratic threats during the cam
paign, calling for reduction of tariff hurdent
and financial relief for the masses Mchin
leyism was repudated and that by every
section OF our common country.
Let us have an extra session OF congress.
and wipe out the record Of HarriSons rul'
and purge the pension list of its colossal
frauds.
The quicker the work is done, the bettel
the plain people will be satisfied There il
more than one reason why there should bs
no delay.

Our Premiums.

The Constitution is very careful in the
selection of the premiums it offers to It's
readers.
We could easily fill our columns with
premiums picked up at random IL we did
not consult our readers interests.
We offer nothing we do not know to be
good. To secure our Endorsement an article
must be:
LIST. Just as represented.
2nd. 1t must be cheaper than it can be
bought elsewhere.
With these two qualifications filled the
premium is really premium. Otherwise 1t
is simply piece of merchandise.
We offer number Of useful and valua-
bic premiums which we recommend to our
readers. They will find each article just as
represented OF we viii make it SO. so send

The Need of an Extra Session.

From The IaltOn, Ca, Argus
For the first time in over thirty years the
democracy will have power after the 9TH Of
next March to pass laws that will color aud
regulate over national policy, and it should
not fail TO act at once. IT should form Il poll
cy. a policy in keeping with a majority party,
and its policy should be affirmative, not mega
tive. The people have declared that they mus1
have change in the national policy, aud tho
democracy should not keep them waiting. This
IS sufficient reason why an extra session should
he called and the necessary committees put
to work at once This will not he hasty ac-
tion; it viii rather prevent hasty action. To
begin consideration early and have plenty Of
time 10 deliberate is far better than delaying
consideration and being compelled to act In
q hurry.

er whether it was upheld by friend or

ter whether it was upheld by friend or
foe
This is the story generally given In
reply to the question asked by our CORE
SpOndent, but as Senator Marcy's words
are full Of human nature it is quite likely
that they were spoken generations and
even centuries before his day. 1t is IN
reasonable to suppose that the victors in
war and in politics continued to seize and
distribute the spoils for ages without ever
declaring that these prizes rightfuly be-
long to them. The New York senator
merely expressed in one terse sentence an
idea common to all men, from the lawn
of history down to the present time. And
it is a very good doctrine. The vlctorS III
war take the equipment OF tue defeated
army. and there is no good reason why
the victors in politics should act treat
defeated party in the same way. One
thing is certain-thc opposite policy
would make a political victory what Il
certain statesman called "a id barren
idcality."

FOR State Banks.

The speech Of Mr. Fairchild before the
Tariff Reform League of Boston, the
other day, has created something Of a
sensation in the north and east. Mr.. Fair
child WIS secretary Of the treasury under
Mr.. Cleveland, and he is supposed to
voice to some extent the views OF the
president-elect on the currency question.
If this is the case, Mr.. Cleveland is in
favor OF the prompt repeal Of the 10 per
cent prOhibtory tax on state bank circua-
ton.
Ex-Secrctary Fairchild. in the course of
his speech. took radical ground on that
issue, and his remarks were applauded TO
the echo by the business men who conf
posed his audience He declared that
the bank note problem must be faced, and
he said with equal emphasis that there
is no reason why the government should
prevent Il man from issuing his personal
obligation to pay 81, or another man from
receiving it.
The ex-secretary claimed that the
people had found that the bank note sys-
tenn oiled the wheels Of commerce as did

is no more sense in depriying the Amer
lean people of one of the most useful de-
vices Of modern times because sometimes
some one suffers, than there is in depriv-
ing them of any other well known device
of commercial facilitation.
Ex-Secretary FairchiId went on in this
strain at some length, showing that he is
enthusiastically In favor of state bank
currency. There is nothing at all surpris-
ing in this. The Constitution has been
discussing this question for more than Il
dozen years, and during that time it has
never had the pleasure OF seeing from the
opponents Of state banks q single argtl-
mcnt that was worth considering. All
that can be said is that under lax laws
there were wildcat banks put in opera
ton for the purpose Of sWindling the peo-
pie aud that i'll the absence of lines OF
communication these swindles were sue
cussful Over against this must be placed
the fact that even before the war these
wildcat concerns We're confined to the
remote and ignorant settlements.
The state banks were successful before
the war, and they can be made d0ubly
successful now when there is q crying
demand in most of the states for just such
d local currency as they are intended to

lating.

The Rome Tribune makes some practi-
cal suggestions that deserve attention in
connection with any scheme OF immi gra-
ton that may be tried III the south. Our
contemporary outlines the following plan
for the country districts:
AS to the method, it must be one which
promises some profit or 1t will not wurl.
Men will not work long. even for The public
E0od, without compensation While the ne
Iari0us and deceptive schemes of land
boomers should be sedulousy avoided, it
would be easy to frame plan upon which
large corporation could operate success
fully. For example, it might buy several
thousand acres of wen watered land, suitable
for small farms, and lay it off in tracts of
$50 acres, dividing it so as to give each farm.
as near AS might be- its quota OF upland and
bottom timber, water. Beginning on IN
occupied land, a company with one consistent
plan could so arrange things as to make life
for ihe farmer much more pleasant than
usual. The homes of 100 families, covering Il
tract five miles square, might be located 10.
gcther in the center Of the tract, where
there would be social Cducationa religious.
mail and business facilities which are ira
possible TO isolated farmhouses. They could
have turnpike connecting the village with
one of the main macadamZed thoroughfares
of the county and for a moderate expense
telephone connection could be had with the
Guy, WIN transportation ana communication
putting them III close touch with the world
at large the people Of such a farm village
would enjoy all the advantages and economy
of rural life, with many OF those for which
cities pay so dearly This system is sure
to come. In the black belt it is fast becoming
a necessity.
We agree with The Tribune that this is
q new field for enterprise, and if the land
is sold at reasonable prices to new settlers
the remainder of the tract will become
very valuable and its owners will realize
a big profit. 1t is encouraging to see the
interest manifested in the matter Of i'm
migration, and it is to be hoped that the
methods by which immigrants can be Sc
cured and satisfactorily settled in their
new homes will ne thoroughly discussed.
We must talk the matter over if we ever
expect to make a start.

Carl Schurz began his great career as a
'moral force in politics" by endorsing the
presidential steal in 1876, and profting as
it were by usufruct. Probably the
democrats need just such man as Schurz

but we shall not believe the rumor until we
see it confirmed.

The Wilson railroad commission bill, which

railroad president "a scheme of confSca-

railroad commission power to fix passenger
rates, the power of the commission at present

added to the powers Of the commission the
right TO fix joint rates between different
railroads for both freight and passenger traf-
lie. Another provision gives the commission
power to require the erection of depots ana

mission, the present law only authorizing
the commission to examine into such questions
and recommend to the railroad companies in
case OF their Noncompliance the attorney
general being called upon for such legal
