"What doyou want?% sheinquir-

"No, madam" he said, more 'po-

THE LESSON OF HARD times.
The Greatest Curse of the Agricultural
South Has Been Debt.

The Greatest Curse of the Agricultural
South Has Been Debt.
Memphis COMMERCIAL
The last year or SO has been pref
ty hard on the Southern farmer,
but if the Southern farmer will look
frankly at the situation he will see
that his troubles have hidden a
great blessing. Poverty and the
shortage of the old collateral, cot
ton, have forced the farmer to live
on his own resources. He has been
unable to make debts, and SO has
been forced to get down to a true
basis Of life and business.
The great curse Of the agricultu-
raj South has been debt, ever since
the practice Of home growth and
consumption as practiced in ante
bellum days was discontinued.
Now, the farmer has again been
forced TO produce his own bread
and meat, and has found, to his
own. astonishment, that it is not as
impossible as he has been all the
while claiming.
Another blessing is the proof
given Of the unreliability Of cotton.
The sensible farmer who has kept
his eyes open will read the truth
that hay, corn, oats, hogs and such
things, direct necessities Of life
can not fail, whereas cotton, an in
direct good at best, is subject tc
fluctuations utterly divorced from
supply and demand, and can nc
longer be looked to as a sure pro.
ducer Of plenty andmoney. If the
hard times shall have taught oul
farmers the feasibility Of home pro
duction and the wisdom of diversi
ed crops, the new prosperity Of tht
South will date from the two bst
seasons we now complain of.

While the constitution of the AL
lance all the while has declared
that the order did not propose to
interfere with the religious or the
political convictions of any Of its
members, yet it is well. known fact
that in several recent campaigns
the leadership tried to control the
Alliance in the interest Of the Peo-
pies party. Mr.. Terrell, the great
Alliance leader, now frankly con
fesses the error Of such a policy,
and admits that it has been disas-
trous to his order.
The new Alliance, while it will
not eschew the discussion Of polit-
ical problems, will studiously avoid
any effort to influence or control the
party affiliations Of its members
This is Allianceism in its original
purity, and when it is brought back
to this basis it will regain much Of
its lost prestige as a truly merito.

A REASONABLE OFFER.
The Widower She Married must Have Ten
Children

Texas siftingsI
Judge Peterson, Of Austin, Tex,
awell-known, highly respected gem
tleman, on the shady side Of fifty,
widower, with five children, full Of
fun and frolic, ever ready with a
joke to give or take-was banter

five-and-twenty for not taking an
other wife. Sheurged that he was
hale and hearty and deserved a
matrimonialmessmate. The Judge
acknowledged the fact; admitted
that he was convinced by the elo-
Fquence of his fair friend that he
had thus far been very remiss, and
expressed contrition for the fault
confessed, ending with Offering
himself to the lady, telling her she

would be most happy to take the
situation SO uniquely advertised,
and become bone of his bone and
flesh of his flesh, but there was one,
to her, most serious obstacle.

such impediments."

Dresden Enterprise.l
The policy of that faction Of the
Alliance leaders who are trying to
bring their organization back to its
first principles as strictly non
partisan order, is to be commended.
When the Alliance seeks to be
simply an educational factor to in
struct its members in matters a
knowledge of which will make them
better farmers and better citizens
it is certainly pursuing a laudable
purpose, to which no reasonable
man can object.

CHINA AND THE GEARY ACT.
The Chinese Government will be Obliged
to Resent its Being Enforced.

to Resent its Being Enforced.
ST. Louis Republicl
In many respects the Chinese
government is one of the best in
the world. We doubt indeed, if
there is any other government
which could look after the welfare
Of such immense numbers of peo-
pie with so little friction. The
wisdom of Chinese statesmen has
been shown in many ways, but in
none more conspicpously than in
their foreign policy, which has been
one, if not Of non-resistance, yetof
nearer approximation to it than is
made by any governmentconducted
by prefessed christians whose re-
ligion is theoretically based on the
doctrine that wrongs are not to be
violently resented.
It is probable, however, that this
peaceable policy Of China must
soon be changed under the neces-
sity Of protecting Chinese subjects
from outrages under the Geary law.
The act is unciyil;zed and brutal
1t disregards what Americans have
always been taught to regard as the
fundamental principles Of human
rights. It puts the persons of res
idents Of the United States at the
mercy Of arbitrary power and sub
jects them to be deprived of their
liberties and treated with the gross
indignity Of public arrest merely
because they are Chinese.
The Chinese government will be
obliged to resent this. It is not
likely to declare war, though with
President less careful than Mr.
Cleveland it would be very easy tc
make war unavoidable.
What the Chinese government
will probably be unable to avoic
doing is to order the deportation

DIFFUSION oF PopuLATIoN.
The Sparsely Populated South in Need of
Native American Immigration.
Southern Lumberman.l

AtobANO
Southern Lumbemanl
One Of the main topics for con-
sideration by the recent conference
Of Southern States governors, at
Richmond, Va, was immigration.
The sparsely populated Southern
States undoubtedly need morepeo-
pie to thoroughly develop the rich
native resources Of the section, but
it is not foreign immigrants that
are needed, so much as domestic inn
migration from the over-crowded
North to the scantily populated
South.
The country at large does not
need immigration from other coun-
tries. What is needed is diffusion
of our present population. We
have plenty Of people in America
certainly enough to make the COM
petition for employment eager and
the struggle for existence quite ac-
tive and earnest.
We are aware that accepted au-
thorities have estimated that we
can accommodate seven times our
present numbers without equaling
Europe in density of population,
but we fail to realize the necessity
for equalizing European density of
population. We should fare as
we'll probably better-if not an
other foreign immigrant should
/ land on our shores for another dec
ade. What is really needed, we
repeat, is diffusion Of our present
population.
In all sections Of the country we
find an exodus from the, country to
the cities, with the result of a sort
Of congested urban population and
a thinning out Of the country dis
tricts. This urban congestion is
more apparent in the North thar
in the South.
The character Of immigration
most desirable for the Southern
States would come from the North.
western States. The South needs
the help Of this class to develop its
agricultural, mineral and timber
resources, as well as to increase it,
representation in the halls Of ma
tional legislation. The sparsenesl
of the population Of the Southern
States was yividly portrayed by th'
) late Henry Grady, of Atlanta, in
: acknowledgement at Boston, where
in he stated that if all human being
in the Southern States were scat
tered over the South's vast area a
equi-distant positions, they woulC
: not be within hailing distance o
each other. The single State o
Texas could have taken the entir
, inflow of foreign immigration a
, Castle Garden for the past ten year
and still have room to spare.
But it is not foreign immigration
that Texas or any other Southern
E State should now desire, but natiy
, American immigration from tn
] middle and western sections Of tn
5 North. This would supply tn
South with labor for the industria
t development of the best portion Q
j America, and at the same time re
lieve the North of its congestion

ing the entire last Congress he was
the virtual leader of the House,
owing to the illness Of Mr.. Spring
er, the chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee, and more par
ticularly to the fact that he was
looked upon as Mr.. Cleveland's per-
sonal representative on the floor.
In the next Congress Mr.. McMil-
lin will be selected by President
Cleveland to be either the chair
man Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, or, if the Student in poll
TICS" Representative Wilson, is
made chairman, Mr.. McMillin will
be the leader of the House in all
debates.
To the Commercial correspond
ent to-day, Mr.. McMillin gave the
following outline of what the Fifty
third Congress will do: He said
that the FIRST thing that the Fifty
third Congress will do will be to
repeal the Federal election laws
the Democratic party is under a
moral obligation to do this, and to
do it at once.
"How about.the reduction in the
TARIFF"
"That reductionwill takeplace-
the cut will be made pretty deep in
places, but with proper apprecia-
tion Of the condition. of the coun-
try"
"Where will there be.a raise in
the taxation, OF will there be any
such raise?" he was asked.
"There will undoubtedly be q
raise of tax on spirits, by which
mean whisky and the like"
"Do you think there will be al
income tax passed."
J "That is highly probable. Inmy
opinion there ought to be an inher
itance tax, just like the laws Of New
J York provide. Such a law is abou
the best to raise taxes that is, it il
the fairest. The besttax is the in
/ come tax. It isfair and has work
| ed well wherever tried"
"What do you think will be th,
) course of Congress in regard to sill
) ver?"
r "There is the greatest difficult,
