Is SO important that you should be sure
to get THE BEST, Hoods Sarsaparilla

thousands of remarkable cures, and the
fact that it has n larger sale than any
other sarsaparilla or blood purifier

we have successfully tried sall-four

We don't even want less cotton" but
we do want to raise what we do raise
on smaller number of acres, as well
as at less cost per acre and per bale.
We don't want to lessen production,
but we do want to cheapen production.
1t is not so much less cotton that the
south needs as it is more of something
else. More grass, hay and forage; more,
better and fatter horses, cattle, hogs
and sheep; more and better butter;
more of the necessaries of life; more
self-reliance and independence, and
less reliance and dependence on the
north and west, and a lesser degree of
subservience to the will and wishes
of the merchant, more pay-as-you-

for the last fifteen years. There are
no two years in which it costs the same
to produce cotton, as the cost varies
with the seasons. The condition of the
land also has great deal to do with
the cost. / believe cotton can be pro-
duced in Georgia as cheaply as it can
be produced in Texas or elsewhere in

Where land has been brought up to n
high state of cultivation, it will pro

The difference in the cost of labor, etc,
will balance the cost of our guano.
We cultivate eighty-tive acres of cot
ton and forty acres of corn, with other
small side crops. We hired two hands
for six months at nine dollars per
month and rations. We fed these
hands on homemade meat and bread
The rest of the hands, we gave fifty
cents day, and they fed themselves
We paid hands forty cents per hum
dred for picking cotton, they
feeding themselves. We used on the
crop two thousand bushels of cotton
seed manure, sixty-siX bushels of plant

fertilizer, and all the stable manure
raised on the place the year before.
We paid cash tor rything we pur-
chased. We raised enough meat lard,
etc, to do the family all the year and
pillow hands six months. / mention
all this in order to show the favorable
circumstances with which we were sur

Ex-Goy. Russell of MASSACHUSETTS after
reading the election returns will be
likely to revise the prediction he made
in the last number of the North American
Review that free silver will be pronIi-
nent issue in the next campaign. Ii
there was any one lesson thoroughly
taught by the election figures it is that
the cause of free silver is in moribund
condition. 1t may revive sometime in
the future, but at the present time it is
too nearly inanimate to be attractive
to either of tine great parties. Even in
Illinois where the free silver sentiment
has been more rampant than anywhere
outside of the silver states, the opponents
of free coinage won notable victory.
Free silver was very potential too in
burying Hardin beneath 16, 600 majority.
In laying down platforms parties are
controlled to very large extent by what
they think the people want and they can
find nothing in he recent elections to lead
them to imagine for moment that they
want free and unlimited coinage by the
United States alone.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Next President.
boston Herald.

Now that the Republicans feel safer
even than before, in counting upon the
election of the next President of the
United States, the interest in their strug
gle for the nomination to that office is
Increased. If looks to be nearly impos-
sible for them to nominate man whom
they cannot elect, and this transfers at
tention more to the convention of next
summer They have an unusual oppor-
tunity to provide the nation with a noln1-
nee of the best Presidential proportions
There is little need of their consulting
expediency in their actions, and we do
not think they will do this to any con-
siderable extent. 1t will be hard to name
state of the size of New York the vote
of which is dependent upon their cleo
tion, much less one of the size of Indiana
or New Jersey or Connecticut whose vote
is required to give them majority in
the electoral colleges. The danger is
more from intrigues on the part of po-
litical managers than from sacrifices to
obtain votes. We are inclined to assume
that if Mr.. Thomas B. Reed can escape
clear of these, his prospects are better
today than they have ever been. He is
recognized almost universally as the man
of all others, with the highest attributes
of leadership, and also as possessed of
an intellectual calibre superior to any
man mentioned with the Office In his

Gen. Marines Campos's recommends
tion that autonomy be granted Cuba as
the only means of pacifying the island, is
a confession that the rebellion is far more
serious affair than the Spanish authori-
ties have been willing to admit. Campos

doubted courage. Besides he is thorough
ly loyal to Spain. and knows how neces-
sary to the home government is the reve-
nue. it has been accustomed to susueeze
out of Cuba. He is fully aware too that
anything approaching freedom to the
island will be hateful to his countrymen.
and will not tend to elevate him in their
affections His recommended on of
autonomy therefore could Only have come
after he was convinced that that was the
only way to save any remnant of Spanish
dominion over the, island. 1t by no
means follows that the Spanish. govern
ment will follow his advice
Public sentiment will undoubtedly be
against it, and public sentiment in such
a case is likely to exert very powerful
influence on the ministry. Furthermore
it is by no means certain that the Cubans
will accept anything short of absolute in
dependence. Certainly Campos's recon-
mendation will give them great courage.

The defeat of the opposition to Tam
many in New York city is only another
piece Of evidence tending to prove that
the rigid enforcement of an unpopular
law is certain to react upon the person
or party responsible for it. The voters
who are hostile to the law do not stop to
reflect that the officers who have been ex-
ecuting it have only done their duty and
that to tarn them out is to condemn con-
science in office and put premium on
unfaithfulness. They IMPLY see that the
easiest way to get rid of the law is to take
it out of the hands of persons who will
execute it and put it into the hands of
persons who will not, and act accord
ingly. This is all wrong of course but
it is condition that springs up every
where when vigorous effort is made to
rigidly enforce law that does not have
behind it an overwhelming preponder-
ance of public sentiment 1t is not pc
culiar to New York city. We see it here
in Maine There are half dozen laws
upon our statuts books which are not
enforced with anything like thorough
ness In the case of some of them there
is no pretence of executing them.
Logically all laws on the statute book
ought to stand alike. AS matter of
fact in public estimation they do not.
There are certain of them which the
people seem to construe as emergency
laws laws that are to- remain in allegiance
in ordinary times, and are only to be
used to meet some sudden and peculiar
exigencys and they are prone to insist
that executive officers take this view of
them too.
