enc Farm OF the New South.

Contrasted with the average southern
farm of fifteen years ago, the average
southern farm of to-day presents strik-
ing object lesson of the new south s prog
ress. Plows, hoes and other agricultural
implements are no longer left in the fields,
or without shelter in the barnyards,
overnight, or for weeks at a time, accord
ing TO the within Of the user. Wagons
and carts are not left standing, covered
with mud, at the most convenient
place to drop them. Harnesses are
not thrown on fence, or
peg, or a hitching post, exposed to the
weather, until wanted. These things now
have their orderly places under shelter,
and are properly looked after. Rainy
days are no longer spent in loahng about
the kitchen, but employer and hired man
put in the time of the rainy day in the
barn, mending harness, oiling machinery,
tightening wagon bolts, etc.
Mr.. Brooks. a Baltimore man who has
been making periodical trips through the
south, as far as Texas for nearly twenty
years, told a reporter a few days ago that
the changed appearance of the southern
farm was striking to the observer who
knew the farm as it was, and was an
earnest of the substantial progress that
the south is making. Whereas the
southern farm was once a happy-gO-lucky
kind OF an affair, enclosed by a more or
less bad serpentine fence and wide Dor
der of rank weeds; il is now picture of
thrift. Every bit of the field is care
fully cultivated, the fences are kept in
good repair, there are no weeds in the
fence jambs, the barnyards are clean and
tidy, and generally improved condition
of things is everywhere apparent. Even
the farmer himself looks better. Reports
from almost every section of the south
this winter tell of the better circum-
stances, as compared with former years,
in which the farmers find themselves.
And probably nothing has had more to do
with the bringing about of these bettered
circumstances than the recently adopted
practice of taking care of things. A few
more years of this practice, together with
close attention to food crops and an avoid
ance of debt, will put the southern farmer
in a position of more independence than
that which he occupied before the war.

Ex-Census Commissioner Robert p.
Porter, who has been dumping ad .ectives
into the editorial columns Of the New
YORK Press ever since he squeezed the
census lemon dry, has again quit the
newspaper business. He has been elected
controller of an insurance concern whose
president wants the republican nomina-
ton for governor of New York. MIR. Por-
ter seems to have some kind of a pull
with the republican machine; hence the
public are disposed to see some kind Of

for which he is working. Mr.. Porter

The rumor that the young Emperor Of
Germany will visit the United States has
been revived. At a recent court ball, &C
cording to a Berlin cable, the emperor
said he was extremely anxious to be bet
ter acquainted with the United States
and was DESTROYS of making a visit to
America and getting his impressions from
personal observation, and that he ex-
pected to arrange to visit America within
the current year. If possible, his majesty
should try to get over during the session
Of our congress. He has nothing like it
at home.

Board and Lodging at Valley Forge

Board and Lodging at Valley Forge.
According to accepted historical works,
the winter that Washington and his army
spent at Valley Forge was one of great
severity, during which the patriots suf-
fered exceptional hardships. They lacked
food, clothing, shoes, medicines and about
everything else but courage and pur-
pose. Several of the school histories have
pictures of the brave fellows standing
barefooted in the snow around little
patch of fire on the ground made of half
a dozen twigs, and all of them lay stress
upon the sufferings of the army at Valley
Forge 1t is, therefore, matter to create
some surprise that the government should
now be asked to settle an unpaid board
and lodging bill, contracted by Washing
ton and his army at Valley Forge,
amounting to $4,000,00O That is pre-
cisely what the heirs of Col. Nicholas
Lott, Of Pennsylvania, have done. They
claim that during that memorable winter
Washington's army camped on their an
cestUr's ground-therefore they are en-
titled to receive pay for the army's lodg-
ing Furthermore, the army burned their
ancestors wood, killed their ancetor's
chickens, appropriated to its own use their
ancestors sheep and other live stock, and
made itself free generally with their an
cestor's belongings. Wherefore the
heirs pray the government will grant
them the justice of recompense for the
loss sustained by their ancestor by reason
of the army. And they think $4,000, 900
would about make it square, principal
and interest.
There's Pennsylvania patriotism for
you! The old, original Lott probably in
vited the soldiers to take whatever
he had that might be needed. In
those days they were real patriots in
Pennsylvania. And the army probably
helped itself as far as the supplies held
out, which was not to any extent worth
mentioning. Now, after a hundred years
and more have rolled around since the
alleged trespass and appropriation, the
heirs of old Lott are begging to be paid
an enormous sum for what their ancestor
would have given away-and probably
did give away.
Four million dollars for the army's
board bill, indeed That sum would have
given every continental mothers son at
Valley Forge that winter full suit. in
GLIDING fur-lined oyercoat and gum boots.
and fed them three square meals a day
the winter through on the best in the
market.

A Fruit of McKin1evism.

Says the Chicago Inter Ocean, rep,
anent the recent riots in the Mansfield
coal region of Pennsylvania: Thine and
again the Inter Ocean has spoken of the
Pennsylvania coal regions as the disfgur-
ing blotches of the American system The
trade in foreign labor has been scandal
ously unjust TO Americans. Wages have
been lower than consistent with Amer
lean modes of life, Strikes have been
more frequent and riots more fierce there
than elsewhere The price of anthracite
has been maintained, the wages of miners
have been lowered, the home building
and law-keeping American has been sup
planted by foreigners who were not of a
desirable class. The darkest parts of
Central Europe have been levied upon for
the least educated and worst-conditioned
portions of their proletariat."
Nevertheless, the things the Inter Ocean
inveighs against are the direct and log
ical results of McKinleyism, which it up
holds. The Mansfield riots were republi-
can high tariff riots McKinley riots
The rioters were Hungarians, Slavs and
Sicilians, imported into this country, free
places of native miners. They were the Off
scourings of the countries from which they
came; criminals, fugitives from justice,
eX-convicts assisted out of their native
countries. Yet, under republican legisla-
ton passed in the name OF protection to
American labor they were given free
entry here to compete with Ameri-
can, Irish and German labor, in order
that the coal barons might profit by the
competition. AT the mines the imported
offscourings were installed in novels,
numbered like convicts, and paid such
wages as a decent and honest working
man could not live upon.
''Tbe price of anthracite has been main
tanned, " truly The profits of the opera
tors, too, have been maintained. Pro-
lection did these things. But the wages
of the American workingman in the coal
regions have been forced down, down,
down until there are comparatively few
Americans left in the mines; the great
| majority of the labor is made up of
aliens of the class that lit up the McKin-
ley stronghold of Mansfield with incen-
diary fires and burned coal tipples the

The New York Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals has stopped
the sale of chained lizards for pets. The
lizard, or chameleon" fad had become
quite Juror in New York. Young men
wore them on their scarfs and young wo
men wore them on their bodices, hats and
skirts, as the notion struck them. The
little monsters were fastened with a
chain to pin. The alleged cruelty con-
sisted in the ignorance of the purchasers
and wearers as to how to feed the lizards.
Most of them were not fed at all. The
prices of the odd pets ranged from %
cents to 81, and Georgia and Florida
were the chief sources of supply.

fighting the Hawaiian battle with mean

with which to support their position,

themselves into a semblance of patriotic
frenzy, during which they assail the nos

j. Adams, the manager OF q distillery
at Fresno. has been arrested by the
government officials at the instance OF
Collector Of Internal Revenue Welborn.
and will be brought to this city to be
tried before Judge Ross. He is accused
OF making brandy without the knowl-
edge OF the collector and shipping it to
secret agents in San Francisco, who
found market for it.
The distillery, which is owned by Mrs.
Julia Linde, of Fresno, was also seized,
and ia now closed.
When Mr.. Welborn was appointed
collector he secured list of suspected
places where Illicit stills were operated,
and among the number was this winery.
A watch was put on the place, and on
Sunday last the secret operations were
discovered. Near the distillery WAS q
great mush heap. The deputies inves-
tigated this and found keg of un-
stamped brandy. Continuing their in.
vestigations, they uncovered four punch.
cons of brandy containing nearly 1000
gallons.
Collector Welborn will ascertain the
capacity of Mrs. Linde's still, and her
bondsmen, who are her husband and
George Ii. Matter, will have to pay for
all the brandy that could have been
made if the still had been run to its full
capacity. Her bond is for $4,000.
