Il IL the northern capital enterprise
that is even culsivating the tobacco fields
of Florida and parts of Georgia to day
with profit
The southern climate is all the better for
tobacco sweating and cigar factories. The
aroma is best obtained, attained and re-
tanned In the south, and the money can
just az we'll be retained at home. The
south should sell her cigars as readily in
the north as the north does 10 the south.
Manufactures are what the south wants.
Now that Georgia and Florida and
Alabama a'e making cigar tobacco, it
would bring about utter and senseless con.
fusion to term such eastern tobacco"
when the northern and eastern states have
been notedly so-called for century.
Florida factories are operated by northern
men and capital. If foreign laborers are to
be had north they can be had south. and
there is plenty of labor north already tu,ored
that would come south with no reluctance.
There is no negro labor in cigar-making.
Attention will be needed till the plants
are we'll up and square or have four leaves.
At this stage the nursing" must begin
Sprinkle over IN midday, or early in the
aferno n, some fine concentrate fertilizer
at the rate Of peck per fifty square yards,
once week and increase The quantity as
the plants grow. Fresh stable or hen
manure, dried i'll the sun and finely pulver-
iael, and applied a: he rate of b III bushel-
more or less according 10 strength-to the
fifty square yards, IS ABOUT the best subs;i.
tute for concentrated fertilizer. Tae

CONTINENT MONEY.

Secretary Foster, in his recent speech
at Vermillion, Ohio, gave historical
account of American currency from the
time of the colonies to the present day,
and made the following allusion to the
paper money Of the Continental period:
"It has become more or less fashion
able in some quarters lately to denounce
congress for it's action during the war
in borrowing money honestly to main-
tain the government, instead Of paying
the nations debts in greenbacks. Ex-
perience with the continental currency
shows the folly of the course these peo-
pie would have approved, and the wis.,
dom Of what was actually done. The
continental congress was not to blame
for what it did. It had no authority
from the colonies to levy taxes. md its
only resource was to resort to the issue
of paper money. The cost Of the revo-
lutionary war fell on the patriotic peo-
pie who received the currency. The to-
ries, who were the copperheads of those
times, refused the Continental money,
and we're the only ones who escaped
ruin."

n Ceneem plated Enactment That
Would Have Paralyzs 80 the lndus-
tries Of Kansas.
After rejecting the senate railroad bill,
in 1891, the alliance house deemed it
important taat something should be
done for record" A maximum rate
bill was hastily prepared, which, on
February 18th was introduced and the
same day advanced to second reading
and referred to committee. On the 17th
that committee reported the bill back to
the house with the recommendation that
it be passed, having had it under con-
eideration two full days, doing in that
time the work that usually occupies two
to three weeks when performed by
experts.
As sent to the senate, the bill was
crude, imperative, and of positive harm
to the shippers OF Kansas had it become
a law. Reach;ng the senate on the 25th,
during the late hours, there was no ex-
pectation of its acceptance, nor did the
house desire its adoption.
Among the many Ieculiarities Of this
bill was the material increase Of rates
for shorter distances, which would have
worked material injury to the interior
cities and the farmers desiring to find a
market there. The following may be
taken as sample, comparing the rates
then in operation with the rates pro-
posed by this house measure.

When he found his doctor could not

pneumonia by taking German Syrup
in time. He was in the business
and knew the danger. He used the
great remedy-Boschee's German

TIE San Francisco Argonaut in
analyzing the democratic platform, says:
"The chief craft Of diplomacy-to con-
ceal meaning in utterance and confound
understanding in ambiguous phrase, to
employ many words and express moth
ing-is the conspicuous quality in all
that is said in reference to explanation
of the democratic campaign cry Of tariff
reform The nature and measure ol
the proclaimed reform is studiously
withheld. Instead, loud-sounding but
utterly senseless phrases are inter-
posed ct .iniquitous impositions' to
be righted upon a constitutional and
equitable basis It may be stretched
to take in mountain; it can be
shrunk to the dimensions Of mole
hill-to the span Of the girth Of
Dana's stuffed prophet to the tenuity
Of 'sockless Simpsons mental grasp.
There is q shadowy idea Of revising
tariff duties-scaling them down in
some instances, taking them entirely OF
in others, and increasing the rate in
still others; but there is neither guide
nor guage, token nor hint. It is as un-
certain as the now you see it, now you
DON'T of the race track fakir."

STOCK AND FARM.

Osborne News: Lots Of plowing has
already been done, and wheat, as rule,
will be put in much better shape this
year than last. The acreage will prob
ably be greater.
Phillipsburg Dispatch: F. B. Cannon
shipped two cars of wheat of his own
raising that averaged sixty three pounds
to the measured bushel. This is splen-
did average, and we are informed that
there are many fields of wheat near this
city which will come up to that average
and 60 from twenty-five to forty BUSH
to the acre.
Wichita Eagle: Sixty-four carloads
Of cattle shipped from Kiows in twenty
four hours shows how the stock men are
being fo1ced from the forbidden ground.
Owing to the rigid quarantine laws and
the dry weather and lack of water, about
the only way out is to ship the cattle,
and bad markets make the way of the
intruder hard. Captain Augur, in COM
mand Of the troops, reinforced by Cap
tain Paddock, presses hard on the fy-
ing beeves and their stampeded kings.
Indian scouts spy out the remotest bands
of cattle and details of soldiers pursue
them and bring them into the shipping
yards. Some of them are fit for market
but many have to 60 at great losss.
Appeals for time and mercy are met by
the came stern logic of military or
ders," and the fiercest cowboy must
throw up his gun and succumb. The
strip will soon be SO bare that birds will
hurry to fly across, and the coyotes al
ready begin to wear look of anxiety
for the future.

SENATOR ALL1soN's analysis OF the
Holman brand of democratic economy
shows that it consists of two principal
elements: starvation and bluster. The
democrats starve the navy, the coast
defenses, and the needed Improvements
of great waterways, while pet and petty
creeks are cared for in the river and
harbor bill. The democrats bluster in
claiming to be particularly economical
when, after all, as e1-Speaker Reed
pointed out, they appropriate $50, ,O00.-
900 more than the republicans did in
the first session Of the Fifty first con-
gress, and would have had to appropri-
ate still more il some republican appro-
priations were not still unexpended and
available.
