NEW YORK DExoCRATS.

Democratic politics 10 New York
City have been decidedly kaleldo-
scopic during the past week. First
came the withdrawal Of Tammany's
candidate for mayor; the philantro-
pist Strauss. The grounds of this act
lou we're differences between Mr.
Strauss and Senator Hill. The
vacancy was al ouce filled by Hugh
|. Grant; q simon pure Tammany
While Strauss was misfit for the
place, he is no political kicker. liz
sent In bis check for $1,000 for GrantI
campaign aud sailed for Europe.
By far the most important change
10 be effected was the concession of two
congressman by Tammauy TO tht
Grace Democrats; the latter agreeing
to withdraw opposition in all th'
other city Districts. This importah
concession has failed as yet.
While these moves on the politioa
checker Board of the pivotal Stat
will add to the chances of Demo
cratic success IN the Empire State, th
result there is still regarded IS alto

TIsUREs OF FARMING.

Mr. A. S. Kyle, Of PaHola, brother
Of Congressman KYLE. is In The eiiy to-
day. HeIs . leading democrat Of his
county aud one OF the most prosperous
farmers in bis section.
lie made q statement TO the Clarion
Ledger reporter this morning about
his farming operations that VIII DC
found of general interest as well as
value TO The people OF the South.
Mr.. Kyle il practical man and
keeps strict and itemized accounts
with his laborers. lie employed two
sble-bodied negroes on shares to make
a crop. one half for the other. Mr..
KYLE to feed the hands and charge
them $25 each at the end OF the year
| for board.
Their crop was ten acres OF corn
and ten acres of cotton, potato patches,
etc. The product was S53 bushels OF
corn and nine bales OF cotton. The
corn at fly cents per bushel was
worth. sl76.5O; the cotton nine bales,
S2OO-$376.50, of which the negroes
got oue-hslf, or $iSs.25 which divided
between them left each $s5.l2.
Now take away the $2s for board
aud each laborer gets $50 cash.
The above figures are given to prove
| that the Mississippi farmer can nc
longer afford to pay more than 80 per
month wages. With cotton at ten
cents be eau pay eight or ten dollars
with cotton al five cents he can onl!
pay five dollars. Farmers should
think about this.
No one eau dispute that Mr. Kyle
has presented fair showing OF the
prevailing situation as to the scale o.
wages admissible. How much Is lei
the employer net out Of his share, h'
does not show. But this every planter
can figure out by his own experience
The illustration as 10 yield Is abov
the average. The hands that max
less than the amount stated, beiui
more numerous than those who max
, more; albeit the average ON goo
/, land used to be double four and q bal
bales to the hand. But practically th
figures given will pass unquestlone'
except the addition of a few dollar
for seed sales. Similar sums have al
tended like calculations Of planter
hereabouts; those who are most give
to economy aud thrift.
Such demonstrations give out no ur
certain sound to cotton growers. The
testify the lessons which low price
bring Onto the necessity of the sam
observance and practice of econom
that prevails in stores and factorie
These always meet fall In prices by Gu
ting wages, ct Get Hereabouts, info
tunately, the changes and privatioi
: which will be exacted In the futul
= will be unusually severe.

What the Women Think Should Be Done.
The following resolution was passed
at meeting Of WomRn's Progressive Po-
liticsl league Of Topeka April 4:
WHERRAs, More than 300 newspapers Of
Kansas, representing the interests of all the
political parties of the state, have, in reply
to inquiries from the suffrsgists, signiaed
their intention to support the pending
amendment; and
WHEREAS, Experience has proven that the
Endorsement Of On amendment by the sev-
eral political platforms has greatly contrib
uted to its success at the ballot box and was
one of the causes which led to victory in
Colorado; and
WHEREAS, The true way to win any good
cause is to boldly advocate and declare for
it; and as woman's suffrage is q political
but not partisan question; therefore,
Resolved, By the Woman's Progressive
Political league Of Topeka, that we earn
estly request all newspapers of our state
favorable to the acknowledgements Of
the women of Kansas, irrespective
Of party affiliations, to unitedly and
decidedly advocate the insertion of suffrage
planks in the respective political platforms,
state and local.
