"A COaUSe u n ecOeOs
The farm tenant system of the
South - undoubtedly the worst
;kn0xn an any civilized country.
# ma5 not be the aim of the land
lord to rob his land for a little
present gain, or of the tenant to
get al he can out of the years con-
tract. and then seek another place
for the same purpose, but that is
just the way it works. Under this
system the land suffers continually,
the landlord eventually, and the
tenant as long as he continues to
make \ crop, here this year, there
next year, and somewhere else after
wards. If this system was univers-
al there would be no hope for
Southern agriculture, for the three
factories, landlord, land and tenant
would be worn out about the same
time-the first fitted only to dig
graves in, and the two latter only
to furnish the corpses. But there
are farms, scattered here and there,
operated upon q different plan,
where farseeing landlords and en-
ergetic tenants work together for
the good of each; where the land
lord gets a reasonable rental. and
the tenant has something left when
the years work is done, and the
farm is in condition to do even bet
ter for each OF them the next year.
Such are the salt of the earth the
hope of the country, and an ex-
ample for other landlords and other
tenants to initiate.
The shove is from the Texas
Farm and Ranch, a practical agri-
cultural journal edited by prscti-
cal farmer, and entirely devoted to
what its title implies. It is not the
only journal of this kind that has
recognized the fact that the tenant
system in the South is the worst
known, bat the still more potent
and glaring one, that the land own
or who rents out his acres to the
shiftless, improvident, careless and
ignorant negro tenants, is wasting
precious time, deteriorating the fer
tility of the soil, consigning his
buildings and fences to decay and
destruction, consigning his work
stock to eventual disuse and ex-
pending means without the, hope
of adequate return or remuneration.
There is more unstable, unreliable
and wasteful tenant on the earth,
than the average negro tenant LETT
to his own devices, and every land
lord who has tried this plan will
acknowledge the truth OF the asser-
ton. The Farm and Ranch brings
the msttor up in . forcibls and
truthful style that brooks no denial.

SandOw, the Strong Man.

Sandow, said to be the strongest
man in the world, passed through
Reno yesterday afternoon en- route
from New York to San Francisco.
Many expressions of surprise and
wonder, if not disappointment, were
heard at his general appearance.
One naturally forms an opinion that
a man of such great strength must be
a large man, but not SO in this case.
He is a man who would not attract
more than passing notice among a
crowd, being but little above The av-
eraoe in height. He had with him
several dumbells which required the
full strength of some of Reno's
heavy-weights to lift. Journal.

To EXAMINE JACKSON.

10 EXAMINE JACKSON.
New York, March 9.-Dr. John
w. Gibbs has made arrangements to
make an examination of Peter Jack
son, the pugllist, and tomorrow will
take all Jackson's measurements,
and estimate the force of his blow,
beside passing upon his general ply
steal condition. The same progress
was undergone by Corbett before his
fights with Sullivan and Mitchell,
and while the test in the latter in
stance served to convey Corbatt's
physical superiority over the Eng
lishman, Sullivan's powers were
clearly demonstrated to be far SUI
perior to those IF the Californian,
who whipped John L. Sullivan with
ease. jackson has never been put
under this method of analysis, and
much interest is expressed in the
way he will show up.

THE STATE labor commissioner in the
reliably democratic state of Missouri
has submitted report showing that
the city of St. Louis is in the enjoyment
of period of industrial prosperity al
most unprecedented in the history of
the city. His report is backed by fig
ures so that there is no disputing it
without going back of the returns. He
shows that in the four manufacturing
industries of tobacco and cigars, furni-
ture, shoes and brewing there has been
an increase in the mum Der of persons
employed of from 25 to 80 per cent as
compared with the census returns of
1890. His report, however, does not
show that there has been falling off in
other industries which may account for
the depression in St. Louis which has
filled her streets with a hungry mob
such as the newspapers of that city say
is as unprecedented as the industrial
boom which the state labor commits
sioner has figured out.
