The Need ormc Times Is 5O-Acre Farms.

lisa matter of statistics that 90 out Of
every 100 men who enter business in the city
fail. With this fact staring them in the
face, why do so many good people flock to
the cities, when living is so much more
easily and certainly made 10 the country
There is not money enough to go round aud
give all fortunes, but there are fields and
woods, and in them grain, vegetables, sheep,
hogs and cattle can be raised so rs 10 give
every man, woman and child in the country
enough to eat, wear aud keep warm, il they
will only work and be content 10 stay away
from the great big city.
We need more j0-acre farms. They will
make nobody rich, bat they will produce
plenty for great many that don't now get
a plenty. In the last IA years the pop
ulation Of the country has increased lS,OO0,-
900, of whom IA 500 900 went to the cities.
The suffering poor are not TO be found in the
country. The country does not raise an sn-
nual crop of trsmps. They come from the
cities where competition breeds lies and ha-
treds and poverty. The time Of sowing Is
upon US. Let every man in the country
with a farm make up his mind to plant and
toll and bestir himself 10 make an abundance
Of the different crops and raise the various

The array Of spindIes in the south and
the fact that about 400, 900 more are about
to be added there have made deep impres-
sion on the keen Massachusetts mind. IL
is not only that the south is the land of cot
ton, but il is as well the land of coal. The
head Of large textile manufacturing con-
cern said that if his mill were in the south
he would save $50, 600 year in coal alone.
To sum up the situation, experts testified
that in the manufacture Of cotton cloth the
south has an advantage Of two cents pound.
The Massachusetts, mills are well satisfied
when they can make cent pound

NEW POSTMASTER.GENERAL.
Congressman william L. Wilson, OF West

Bissell.

Congressman william l.. Wilson, OF West
Virginia, Nominated to Succeed Mr..
Bissell.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The presi-
dent has nominated William L. Wilson,
of West Virginia, to succeed Wilson
S. Bissell as postmaster-general.
William L. Wilson, the new postmas-
ter-general, is best known to the coun-
try in connection with his recent tariff
work in congress. He has been q tar
i'll student since he first entered con.
gressional life in 1882, but it was not
until the present congress that he be-
came chairman Of the ways and means
committee and as such the official lead
err Of the majority in the house. Prior
to his first election to congress in 1889
he had taken little part in politics, ex-
cept in being a delegate to the demo.
cratic national convention at Cincin.
natl and subsequently an elector at
large in West Virginia. Early in 1882 he
was chosen president Of the University
OF West Virginia. This would have
fixed his sphere Of work had it not been
for a political eruption and party split
at his home in Charleston, W. Va,
which was settled by the opposing fac
tons uniting on him. lie finally won
by nine votes. He was then reelected
by six successive congresses. lie
received good committee assign
ments from the first, going
On the judiciary, appropriations
and ways and means. His ex-
pcrlence shortly after the war as a pro-
fessor of law in Columbia college
equipped him for the work on the ju-
dietary committee. In the four con-
gressional eras Of recent tariff changes
the Morrison bill, the Mills bill, the
Mckinley bill and the Wilson bill-he
TOOK the leading part. lie did much
OF the work OF constructing the Mills
bill and he and Representative Brock
inridge started on a successful tour of
platform speeche3 throughout the east,
indorsing President Cleyeland's tariff
revision message During the Mills
Crisp contest for the speakership he
cast his lot with Mr.. Mills and when
Mr.. Crisp won he designated Mr.
Springer chairman of the ways and
means committee. When reelected
speaker, however, Mr.. Crisp named Mr.
Wilson chairman of the ways and
means committee and in this capacity
he framed the measure which was the
basis Of the present tariff law.
Senator Villas, as chairman Of the
committee on post Offices and post
roads, instead of calling a meeting OF
the committee to consider Mr. Wilson'S
nomination, polled the members Of the
committee and obtained unanimous
consent to make a favorable report.
The report will be made at the next
session.
