1t is understood that Senator Jarvis,
the new appointee from North Carolina,
will not be candidate to succeed himself.
but will try for Senator Ransom's seat.
1t is an unwritten law ablished by prec-
edent that the North Carolina senator
ship shall be divided between the eastern
and western sections. Both Jarvis and
Ransom are eastern men, Vance, whom
Jarvis succeeded, was a western man.
There is, however, more in the matter
than the mere desire that the senatorships
shall be apportioned as formerly. 1t is
understood that for years Jarvis and Ran
som have been political foes, although
within party lines. Each has done all in
his power, according to a Raleigh special,
to hinder the others political ad-
vancement. Jarvis appointment to
the Senate by his friend, the
governor, according to this author
ity, was to give him a good hold in
his conflict with Ransom The upshot
will probably be hotly contested cam
paign in North Carolina the coming fall,
with at least four democratic candidates
for the Senate in the field.

Farm Machinery and Production.

In an interesting article IN the current
number of the Forum on the effect Of
farm machinery on farm production, Mr.
+. V. Smalley, OF St. Paul, MINI, says:
AT a very moderate estimate the farmer
of our day, with the help Of machinery,
exerts productive force equal to that of
three men in the days of his grand
father" This question of farm machinery
suggests several Inquiries. Among them
are the following: Does farm machinery
make it harder for the poor in agricul-
tural districts to get a living2 Does it
cause a reduction in the price of farm
products, and does it make it more diff
cult for the farmer to accumulate a COM
petencyl
II is doubtful if the use of machinery
prevents farm laborers from getting
work. There are seasons of the year in
all parts of the country when the farmer
cannot get all the labor he wants. This
was true in the time of our grandfathers
and il is true now. These are the plant
ing and harvest seasons. However much
machinery farmer may have a certain
amount Of labor is necessary, and it can
seldom be had in abundance.
Recently statements have appeared in
the public prints that labor is in great de-
mand upon the farms in the west, and it
is well known that il is seldom that the
COTTON planter can get all the labor he
wants during the picking season. In no
part of the country are there complaints
Of hard times among farm laborers.
Nearly always they can find some
thing to do This was about
the condition of affairs before
moving and reaping machines were
brought into general use. When these
machines were introduced it was said
the farm laborer would starve He
did not starve, however, and is positively
in q better material condition today than
he was then.
That farm machinery has caused an
increase in production there is little
room for doubt. The present low price
Of wheat and cora is Ia rgely- due &c
over production. In good crop years the
yield of wheat is much more than suffi-
Gent to meet the worlds demand.
As to whether or not farm machinery
makes it harder for farmer to accumu-
late competency no satisfactory
answer can be given. The increased
production reduces the price, but
the cost of production is less, and the
average amount produced by each farmer
is probably greater All things consid-
cred, therefore, it is probable that the
chances of farmer for accommodating
a small fortune before old age, are about
as good now as they ever were, if not
better. Labor saving machinery of all
kinds has had a beneficial effect as far as
the poor are concerned. The poor have
better homes, better food and a broader
intellectual life now than ever before.
In proportion as old avenues of employ
ment become narrower, new ones open,
so that there is as much for the laboring
man to do as there was in the times of
our grandfathers. Labor saving machin-
cry hasn't made the earning of liveli-
hood harder for any class; and it isn't
going to have that effect

Ex-Congressman JOY, of Missouri, who

Senator Faulkner, who is sometimes re-
ferred to as coal senator, because he is
from West Virginia and would like to see
the coal interests favored, says he is first
of all democrat and tariff reformer,
and if the majority Of the senators of his
party should decide to put coal on the
free list, he would work for the bill and
vote for it the same as if a duty were left
on coal. This patriotic declaration will
set at rest therumors that Senator Faux
ner would follow Senator Hill in his

Are Instinct" and Soul, the Same P

Are 1nSElnCL' ana sour the same
In an address before the New York
Academy of Medicine few days ago,
Prof. Paul Gibier, who has become ia
nous through his dictatorship of a Pas
teur institute, declared that dogs have
souls.
He draws a distinction between soul
and spirit, defining the one to be that
fundamental principle necessary to ami
NAL life and intelligent action, and the
other to be that essence of the higher
life in man which we believe to be i'm
mortal. He does not know whether dogs
have spirits or not, but says he
has demonstrated to his own salts
faction that they have souls. That
they have intelligence and reason,
and can communicate with each
other are admitted facts. That they are
susceptible to emotions is also admitted,
and the professor has made experiments
which show that mental operations in
dogs produce results similar to like
operations in men. Diabetes is caused in
men by worry, nervous shocks, loss of
friends and fortune, etc. The same dis
ease is caused in dogs By similar circum-
stances, A dog restrained of its liberty,
for instance, showed secretion of sugar
in its kidneys.
Granting that Prof. Gibier is correct
in his theory, how is the line to be drawn
in the animal kingdom2 If dogs have
souls, have not horses and cattle and
monkeys souls also? There is probably
not species of the brute creation that
has not method of communicating with
its kind, and is not moved by at least
parental emotion. And the same may be
said of the birds. Have they all souls,
merely different in degree form the souls
of men? If the eminent professor is cor
rect we live in a whole-souled and soulful
old world

1t is to be hoped that good will come Of
Gov. Northen's conference with the rail
roads Of the state with regard to inducing
immigration. AS the MoRNING News has
frequently pointed out, the railroads can
do more toward bringing desirable i'm
migrants into Georgia than probably any
other agency. BY requiring their station
agents to inform themselves and report
10 headquarters of lands for sale in their
several sections, the prices at which it
could be bought, and other matters neces-
sary to be known, each railroad could, at
very little if any cost to itself run a com
prehensive and helpful information bu-
reau. And by making concessions in the
way Of freights and transportation to de-
slrable immigrants, the roads might peo-
pie the vast and at present unproductive
areas along their lines with thrifty set
tiers. The trouble in this state has been
that the railroads take too little interest
IN the settlement of the country along
their lines. 1t would, it seems. be a mat
ter OF good business policy for them to de-
vote every possible energy to the planting
OF colonies, villages, settlements. or what
ever they might be called, throughout the
length of their lines.

The coal miners strike, inaugurated in
as reported in our dispatches yesterday,
is something stupendous already. and is
likely to grow in proportions for some
days. The claim of President Mcbride,
of the United Mine Workers, that 10000
men went out on Saturday is probably a
little overdrawn, according to the care
full estimates of disinterested newspaper
men made the day before the strike.
But even if Mr.. McBride's figures were
one-third out of the way, the movement
would still be one of greatest of its kind
that has ever taken place in this country.
Some 1900 mines have been or will be
closed down because of the strike, and
thousands upon thousands of other per
sons besides the strikers who are de-
pendent upon the operation of the mines
for their daily bread win be deprived of
the opportunity to work. 1t is a noticea-
BILE feature of the strike that a great
many of the men have no grievance which
they hope to remedy. They are working
under arrangements satisfactory to them
selves, but strike through sympathy with
workers elsewhere. AT this moment we
fail to recall a single sympathy strike
that resulted in favor of the strikers
Another feature Of the current fight is
that it has been gone into without money.
President Mcbride is quoted as saying
that some of the biggest labor battles
ever won in this country were fought
without money, and that he has conf
dence this will be one of the kind He
may be right But the man who calls
100000 men away from their work for an
indefinite length Of time, when there is
only s. 600 behind the whole movement
TO feed the men and their dependents,
takes upon himself fearful load Of re-
sponsibility; and the men display excep-
tional faith in obeying the call.
