A Blow to Political Agriculture.

Secretary Morton has determined that
the government shall 60 out of the seed
business and the date fixed for final
distribution OF the stock on hand is next
October. This is an unfortunate ruling
for certaing class Of politicians. Al
mOstsfrom time immemCrial free seeds
have been a campaign document as
numerous ab We as under ground.
Many differences have been healed by
iudicious application of seed packets
In this manner the turnip and carrot and
seductive onions have just as surely
determined the tariff issue as they have
brought haYvests to the farmers. What
the cabbage has accomplished for pro
lection and the sinuous bean vine for a
horizontal schedule with thirty off, as
an accommodation to the friends OF re-
vision. will never oe known. The gentle
ard eff .rvescent pea pod, too, has had
many an equable split for harmony in
the past, and the unattractive but useful
beet has impaired color 10 it's particular
occasion.
There is much to say also Of the power
of the fruitful wheat grain and the tas-
sailed corn. but this ruthless ruling Of
the depar ment of agriculture takes
them all from the ring. And that, too,
Just as t he variegated seed is about to
hand down an opinion on the silver
issue philadelphia Times.

ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 19.-Hon. Hec-
tor D. Lane. commissioner of agriculture
of Alabama and president of the Ameri-

ton. is in Atlanta to confer with Col. K.
y. Nesbitt, commissioner of agriculture,
on the important work of that associa-
looking to the holding back OF the pres

tors. Mr.. Lane has been here since Sat
urday.
Col. Nesbitt has been out of town since
last Friday, and viii not be here again
until tomorrow or next day, but Mr..
Lane has determined not to leave until
he has seen him. Mr.. Lanes plan is TO
organize all the commissioners OF agrl
culture into a movement to influence the
farmers to hold their cotton back until
the size of the crop is actually known.
He is positive from estimates gathered
from all The cotton growing states that
the cotton crop will not exceed 7,250,OOO
bales. although the spectators are claim
inc 900. 00O bales in order to buy cheap.
BY establishing the fact that the crop
is short. he believes he farmers will get
better prices, and it is to organize the
farmers into a movement to establish this
fact that he is NV working.

An APPALLING REC0RD.

The Providence, r. l., journal makes
the startling statement that there were
10000 homicides in this country last
year. That is an appalling record ana
when it is considered that there were on
" 500 homicides in the United Kingdom
during the same period the question
arises whether there is not something
wrong in this country in the adminstra-
ton of Justice. Surely, if the laws were
promptly and vigorously enforced there
would be fewer crimes of violence. Ii
punishment were certain to follow CRIME
there would be a much greater regard
for human life.
We cannot help thinking, says the Sa-
yannah News, that the ease with which
punishment for such crimes is evaded is
TIE chief factor in making our record OF
bomicides what it is. 1t is astonishing
how general the belief is that the man
who sklls another in quarrel, or for
some real or fancied wrong, will escape
punishment. and it is regrettable that
there is ground for this belief. weak
Judges grant continuances until all the
testimony against the accused is out o.
the reach of the court, prosecuting at
torneys fail to prepare for the trial or
are oYermatched, and juries, having no
strong public sentiment 10 support them
in doing their duty, render verdicts in
accordance with Il sym. a.Aies rather
than with their judgments.
And even after convictions are secured
the gallows is long way off, aud may
never be reached. Notice this case OF
Mrs. Mobiles and the negro Gus Families
of Twiggs county. They were 20 have
been executed ten days ago. The gov
ernor respited them, an now eXtraordI-
nary efforts are to be made to save them
from the gallows. There is no question
they committed the crime of which they
were convicted, and the people OF I wigs
county are indignant that the sentence
of the court has not been carried out.
The whole matter will probably end by
both the woman and the negro serving a
few years in the penitenhaIy or being
sent to the insane asylum, from which
they will be released when the indigna-
ton caused by their CRIME has died out
and nobody cares whether they are re-
leased or not
We mention this MOBILES case simply to
show how extremely difficult it is to
have the law against crimes of violence
executed. And sull, any thinking man
cannot help knowing that the failure to
promptly punish those VINO commit those
crimes is the chief reason why there are
so many crimes Of that kind.
