their contests with the vast amount OF
illiteracy among black and white people
alike, the south has taken sympathy as a
license for it to stain the history of Ameri-
ca with repeated atrocities on negroes,
guilty and innocent alike, for whom their
courts afforded means of punishment,q quick
ample and sure.
What Astonishes Mr.. Clarkson.
"That Republican president-when the
south, neither in its press nor by any pub
lie utterance of its people, condemns such
cruelties-should, in selecting supreme
judge from the south, choose a man who
represents such cruelty to the negro, and
that he should do it on the very day after
q negro had been burned alive and tor
tured with the passive consent of state and
socal authorities in southern state, makes
ii stranger and both more unaccountable
and more TO be condemned In the south
w re United States judges on the circuit
bench peers of Jackson in judicial ability
and record, and with personal records so
fair that not even the most malignant
southerner would have challenged their
honor.
Calls on the Senate to Reject.
"Whether this act of President Harrison,
the greatest soleCism In party politics ever
committed by any president, and the first
instance since the foundation of the repub

CULLOM TALKS A LITTLE.
Thinks the President Could Have Done
Better with the Nomination

Thinks the President Could Have Done
Better with the Nomination.
The Post says that Senator Cullom was
induced to talk yesterday. He said:
President Harrison is a man who runs his
own business and has habit of standing
by what he says and does. He may have
named Mr.. Jackson in the belief that he
could not secure the confirmation of a Re
publican and was anxious that some one
should be confirmed. or he may have been
very strongly influenced, or he may have
had motives of which no one outside him
self knows anything. | cannot say. 7 have
not been to see him. For myself, / am
frank to say tnat consider the Jackson
appointment very unwise aud in a certain
sense unjust.
Plenty of Clean Republicans.
"The vacancy should have been given TO
some clean, able Republican lawyer, of
whom there are plenty. Judge Leon A.
pardee is sample of the class If the
Democrats of the senate had refused to per-
NIT confirmation, the responsibility would
have rested on them. / do not see why the
numbers of southern Republicans should
have been passed over in favor of Demo
crat identified with the rebellion. They

not think that they will ever feel any other
way about it. As TO what will be done
about it, what action the senate will take,
/ cannot say.
Harrison Decidedly Firm.
81 do not know whether there will be a
! fight against Mr. Jackson's confirmation.
l will see the judiciary committee in the
morning and possibly some conclusion
will be reached. do not shink, however,
| that Mr.. Har son is a man who could be
induced to withdraw the nomination by
any amount of party pressure. At present
have not sufficiently examined the mat
| ter to make a positive statement concern
| ing it,"
| He Believes in Paying Debts.
1t is remembered by some that before
| Senator jackson went on the bench he
was not perfectly consistent Democratic
| partisan 1t is complained that he was
disposed to be independent, and manifest
ed mugwump proclivities There is oppo-
sition from his own state, also, which

the controversy over the payment of th'
state debt. Tennessee, like Virginia, haC
its readjusters and Judge jackson strenu
ously opposed these and insisted upon tn,
payment of the bonds in full Senator

that Judge jackson and Vest differ on TIT

cLARKsoN's BITTER PROTEST.
The President Charged With Perfidy Lit
tie short of Crime

The President Charged NiJh ferHdy Lit
tie short of Crime.
The Clarkson criticism was printed Sat
urday morning in the Des Moines Daily
Register, is in he form of dispatch from
Clarkson himself, and was telegraphed all
over the country. 1t begins as follows:
"President Harrison's act ILL appointing a
southern states rights Democrat to this
high court of last resort in the present
critical national situation is gross be-
trayal of public trust and party faith. In
deed, in my Judgment, it is an act of party
perfidy little short of a moral crime
Alone of all the branches of the govern
ment the judiciary now stands between
the south and its avowed hostility to the
principles of all the systems and policies
adopted by the government and accepted
by the great body of American people as
the results of the war"
Holds the President Responsible.
He then says that if it were not for the
act of the president (the nomination of
Jackson the supreme court would have re-
mained for four years the one defense of
the government against the reactionary
policies of the south, and the only protec-
tion to the Republicans of the southern
states, whos Clarkson says, have been
abandoned bs the president to fate in
which their rights are ignored, their fran
chises suppressed or otherwise made in
effectual and their lives in danger
Evenwith a Republican congress, says
Clarkson, the president was unable to
have the laws of the United States ex-
| ecuted in the south.
Could Not Even Protect the Ofncers-
In fact, says Clarkson, the president
couldn't even protect the lives of his owl
officials in the south, nor have their as
sassins arrested and punished, even wher
they were known of all men The admin
istration, ClarHson holds, has disregarded
the pledge Of the constitution to "guaran
! tee Republican form of government to
every state,p and as proof of this he refers u
the frequens mobbing of negroes in that
section of the country and charges that M
court there affords the negro any protec
tion from mob.
Took Sympathy as License.
Clarkson then says: "While mo one pre-
tends to excuse Ignorance or crime throug
ignorance, and while every intelligent pei
son knows the danger and menace of
mass of ignorant voters, and while the in
telIigent people of the north hav
sympathized with the southern people i

THE AMERICAN FARMER.
why Ills Future Looks More Promising
Than Ever Before.

Than Ever Before.
AT no time in the history Of the coun'
try has the future of agriculture been
more promising There was a time, not
long ago, when the soil and the farmer
were not on friendly tC rms, when there
was conflict between them. But that
time is past, or is passing with the pro-
gressve farmer
He has learned, is learning every day,
that the fault was with him and not
the Land. The soil, lacking certain I'M
gradients, could not produce good re.
suits. The horse cannot be expected
to work at the pillow all day, many days,
If fed only On dry hay.
To-day the farmer is coaxing his land
very much ms he does his stock, or he Ia
providing food fm his plants with al
most as much care as he feeds his ami
mails, If he expects to be successful.
The farmer tests his land for himself;
he does not wait for the chemist, or
prefers to be his own chemist in his
way. lfpotash, nitrogen or phosphoric
acid are wanted, he adds them, and he
has come to the stage of independence
when he mixes his own fertilizers, and
knows exactly with what he has to
work. That's progress. Commercial
fertilizers are the farmers aids, but the
government analysis and inspection
has opened his eyes, and he sees now
that he may prepare his own fertilizers
and save money.
The farmer no longer plants haphaz.
ard; he has begun to see that agricul.
ture is an art, science more intricate
than any other; that to be successful in
its prosecution he must know several
sciences. No longer does he merely
drop potato in the EARTH cover it up,
keep down the weeds and dig the in.
crease in the fall He studies the soil
and the fertilizer and then the potato.
Shall he plant large or small potatoes,
cut or uncut, one eye or more, the stem
end or the seed end?
Thus throughout the range of agri'
culture every step is thought out and
practically made in advance. There are
many croakers about agriculture, some
editorial croakers in newspaper Offices
who, possibly, might be able to tell a
hay-cutter from grindstone, who rise
up periodically to say with loud voice
(more or less, according to their circu-
lation) that agriculture has a black
eye; that it is limping along on one leg,
and not very strong leg at that, and
that the whole fabric of agriculture,
like the sheep, is going to the dogs.
If these croakers had attended some
of the winter meetings" that have
been held in the different states last
winter and seen the interest and enthu.

crib eight feet square for the corn,
and, as it could be filed considerably
above the plates, it would store about
four hundred bushels of ears, or suffi-
cient to make two hundred bushels

A Building That Saves the Crop from
Damaging Effects.
The accompanying illustrations from
sketches by c. Il. Benton, of Massachu-
sets, show novel and useful plan for
n corn house, by which not only. more
corn is sheltered in proportion to the
size and expense of the building, but,
what is of vastly more Importance, the
corn is saved from the damaging effects
of driving rain and snow, which In
moist climates so seriously affect
the value of the crop in the old
fashioned cribs, while 1t is waiting
to be ground or fed. The ordinary
crib has Slated sides, and the ventila'
ton is horizontal. hence the driving
rain and snow finds easy access to
every ear of corn. But by this method
the ventilation, while even more per
feet, Is from the bottom upwards,
which entirely protects the corn from
direct exposure TO the elements. The
building, which may be of any conven-
lent size or proportion, is placed upon
