LATER advices from the east report a
continued How of gold from Europe to
,his country. the estimated shipment
for this. week being some eight millions.
of which 81 10000 comes to Chicago to
pay for grain and provisions. This is
most assuring and if it can be kept up
must certainly relieve the eastern money
market 10 an extent that il can give
some relief to the country at large. An
other satisfactory feature is that the
present low price of government bonds
il inducing many of the eastern national
banks to buy bonds and by depositing
their purchases with the secretary of the
treasury increase their circulation. 1t
is estimated hat some eight or ten mil
lions will thus be added to the circula-
fion of the country.

Under the head of farm, homes,
and mortgages, the Herald makes
some astounding statements IN re
gard to the percentage of mortgag-
ed and un-mortgaged homes In
some of the cities and states of the
nnion, and lays particular stress
uuon some s o called statistics pur-
porting that mortgages are rapidly
on the increase. Here are some
figures taken at random from one
table; Philadelphia, percentage OF
home owners that are mortgaged,
eight; percentage Of home owners
unencumberd, thirteen; making a
total Of twenty onepercent, account
ed for; again, Boston, PERCENTAGE
Of home owners mortgaged, seven;
PERCENTAGE Of home owners un-en-
numbered, eleven. making a total OF
eighteen per cent, ior.
Thus in these two items, n hum
dred sixty one percent are unaccoun-
ted for. Here are some more figures
taken from another table; Georgia,
percentage of owned farms that
are encountered, three; percentage
of owned farms that are free from
circumference, thirty nine; it must
necessarily follow, that fifty eight
per cent of owned farms are not
owned at all. Another statement is
that the number OF tenant farmers
in Montana has increased from
1880 to 1890, one hundred twenty
percent; ~neglectlng to cite the IN
crease in the number of farms du,
ring the same period which must
be several hundred percent. as in
1880 Montana had not a foot of
railroad, and In 1890 had several
thousand miles of railway. Another
estimate that seems very much over
drawn, is that the average per-cap-
tia Indebtedness on homes and
farms alone of this county is 800.
Assuming that the average family
of this comfy is five, this makes
an average of live hundred dollars
Indebtedness for every home and
farm in Day Co. making a total, &C
cording to the Herald, of $6,297,
1880. Any thinking man will
see at a glance that no credence
can be given such statistics what
ever.

There is going the rounds of the
papers the statement that women
may vote for school officers at the
coming city elections, their ballots
to be deposited IN boxes other than
those provided for electors who
desire to vote for city officials as
well as school officials. This state
mont is incorrect. The Legislature
passed a resolution submitting an
amendment to section 8 of article Z
of the constitution, so that, instead
of simply reading that women may
vote cat any election held solely for
school purposes" it shall read also
that they "may vote for any school
officer at any election. at which
such school officer is to be elected
this latter clause being added to
the section if the amendment is
adopted. OF course the action OF
the legislature has no effect in
maklnd any change now, and
women, cannot, at the Forthcoming
general city election vote for mem
bers of city boards of education,

WISDOM FROM HOKE.

The new secretary OF the interior
seems to be capable OF promuigat-
ing soma pretty ideas to ONCE
beggars. The Atlanta Constitution
prints a letter received by a Georg
ian from the secretary, who says ne
will be glad to aid his brother, for
whom the Georgian asked a posi-
ton. elf future circumstances
permit" He then suggests that all
applicants for positions IN The
interior department must pass the
regular civil service examination
and adds. s.Your brother will do
better for himself by pushing his
ambition on Georgia soil. Gov
eminent servants get to be general
hacks and, while they make a fairly
good living, they never attain DIS
tinction and lever get rich"
These are words of wisdom.
Secretary Hoke Smith is a whole
some advisor certainly, If these are
his convictions. The Itch for
holding even m~inorclerlcal positions
under the government is extraordl-
nary. There are chances OF pro-

motion, it is true, from n desk to
another; but the life is about as

Potatoes a Profitable Crop.

AS potatoes are almost rs protita-
BILE a crop as a farmer can raise, it
is well to take some extra work in
the preparation of the soil and in
the cultivation of the crop, and We
believe that a good deal more than
is generally taken, even by those
who make growing potatoes a speci-
atty. Successful growing Of pota-
toes depends upon three conditions
viz: good soil, good seed and thoro
ugh cultivation. This Is also true
of most crops. The soil should be
and must be rich in plant foods,
and also In vegetable matter. A
firm, rich piece of land, On which
stock has been pastured and fed, Is
good, and far better than a dry,
light loan or sandy soil. Newly
cleared land Is good. Old land,
long cultivated, very seldom pro-
duces good results, and the labor
expended in cultivation is far
greater.-Dakota Farmer.
