We give below some extracts from the
Maryland Democratic Editors Associa-
tion. They are wen written and our
readers would do well TO give them n
careful pcrusal
an an article recently published il
was shown how the illiteraie co.ored
voters, who were enfranchised under the
amendments TO the Constitution, have
been held together as a compact politi-
cal machine in the counties OF this State
where the masses of them reside. by viz
tue OF false sentiment OF race prcju-
dice deccitfully and skilliully imposed
upon their credulity by few unscrupu-
lous white men in those communities,
who have conspired together for the
purpose OF using the .compacted colorcd
vote Tor their own personal and politi-
cal advantage. II was there also shown
that the more kindly disposed OF thu
colorcd voters, who had been assured
by years of friendly and neighborly in
tcrcourse with their white neighbors
and friends that there was no necessary
conflict of political interests between the
two traces. and who were. therefore.
anxious to vote with their Democratic
neighbors, had been deferred from so
doing for fear OF the ostracism of their
own race and especially OF the resent
ment OF their own families. resulting
from the false prejudices thus sclfshly
and wronRfully aroused ii was also
shown that many OF these well disposed
colorcd voters had under the old system
of voting found the desired opportunity
OF casting secret vote for Democratic
candidates. unknown TO the influences
they feared. but that this opportunity
had been deliberately taken away from
them by partisan trick in the Repub-
lican election law passed by the Legisla-
ture OF 1896 under the disguise OF re
form"
-
1t having been thus shown in fact that
the purpose and effect of the Republican
election law is TO reronsolidate the illit-
crate colored voters OF the State into
compact political machine TO hlindiy
support the Republican party. composed
only OF lew white men in many of the
counties, II IS now proposed to show by
statistical figures the composition of the
Republican party in the several counties
OF Maryland and the city OF Baltimore.
with view OF disclosing TO fair minded
people the serious menace to the cause
o. good government in the State and
the unequal and unjust advantages
which accrue TO comparatively few
white men as result OF this manipula-
ton of the machine colored vote. The
following table, complied from figures
given in the Baltimore Sun Almanac.
shows the relative proportions OF white
and colorcd voters which go to make up
the Republican party, as it stood at the
last election, in the several counties and
IN the city of Baltimore. together with
the representation ,of each in the Gen
eral Assembly:

Communication.
MADISON, ARK. Aug 19, 1897.

MADISON. Alik., Aug l9, IS9t. In last weeks communication some re- marks were made of the benefits to be de-
 rived from the cultivation of wheat in a community. There is another use to which it might be put that would yield, possibly, a much greater return, pecuniarily, to the farmer than its cultivation for bread. That is the feeding of it to hogs in the green or milk stage of the grain, as a preventive of the blood diseases that destroys so many of them in the spring and summer Two or three successive plantings might be | made, so it would not all ripen at once. and a portable wire fence provided to fence l off an acre at a time; and as fast as it is | consumed remove the fence 10 another | acre. Let the hogs eat it from the stalk have no authority for the above idea
 but will proceed to give my reason for it. If you were to dissect the vital organs of | man and hog. particularly the diges- tive organs. you would find them nearly alike, while both animals are omnivor- ous, or all deyouring-that is. they can subsist on a greater variety of edible sub stances than any other thing which lives. except, perhaps, ducks and chickens.i
 As springtme approaches man provides himself witha variety Of green vegetables. to be eaten both cooked and raw. to cool hs blood aud prepare his system for the appr oachmg heat of summer. Hogs need | the >amr treatment but enough nitrogen ous food is not available for them, and the dehceney Is supplied with dry. Indian corn. the greatest heat producing grain,
 with the fatal result noted above
 On F. W. DeRossitt's Lxkeview farm last year. noticed that the hogs which roamed the woods and fed on mu.berries. were free from disease. Those that laid around the premises and depended OH corn and other food given them, were the ones that sickened aud died
 In middle Florida and southern Georgia. from forty to lf:ty years ago, much atten | tion was given to cultivating orchards of mulberry trees to pasture hogs in The tree heinz indigenous, think it would do as well here. The variety cultivated wqs the English, or ever-bearing. They yield all abundahee of ripe berries from May nntil August. The method of propaga. tion Is 10 graft them on the morus multi caulus, the kind grown for feeding silk. worms II grows readily from cuttings.
 No attention is given to root crops here for feeding stock. d crop so important in other countries. Lanes sugar beats. it is said. will yield on rich soil with good cuI. tiNation thirty tons per acre. and contain from eight to ten per cent of sugar. Think what an acre of them would be worth fed to cattle in winter. that nov subsst on what they can get from the fields and canebrakes. and are too lean in spring 10 regain flesh enough to make good beef by autumn. x#
