Already the cotton acreage for 1898 IS
having Il bearing on the curse of prices.
+, 1t seems to us Il matter OF first int
p~ortance that the cotton acreage should
lie reduced. BY curtailing the produc-
ton Of cotton prices will be better. and
by planting corn. wheat, peas. grass
and other food crops. the cost of raising
cotton will he reduced.
All this We have said before. and We
expect to say ii again. The Southern
farmer must depend on himself, not on
outside influences. in Congress or in the
markets. for if he will exercise ordinary
Judgment and discretion he may to Il
large extent control the course of the
markets. Just at this time during the
war excitement prices nave declined one

 HOW SHEEP DOGS ARE TESTED.

Rare Intelligence and Sagacity Dis-
 played by the Animals
 How very clever! Really wonder full" The exclamations came from the lips of a well known woman of title as she watched the performance of Bob, the Lancashire sheep dog, at Tring park; and, indeed, it is no exaggera- tion to say that the intelligence and sagacity displayed by these animals is astonishing and must be seen to be be- lieved. The course at Tring is some five hundred yards long, and on an eminence at one end of it were the the dog. while at the other stood a van, from which the sheep were re- leased three at time, as required. They were Welsh or Scotch, breeds well known for their running powers. The sheep being ready, the master gives the signal, and away goes the dog, who has the sheep In sight when he starts, but soon loses his view of them as he descends the hill. This makes no dif- ference, for he obeys his masters s whistle, and stops to see the signal, which is given by a wave of the hand to the right or the left as required. In few minutes he has rounded the sheep, and is bringing them at a rat ting pace down the course to the first obstacle, an opening in some hurdles. This is fairly easy, as the hurdles ex- tend some distance on each side; but, having passed it, the sheep are now to be driven through obstacle No. 2, con- sisting of parallel hurdles. Here the master is allowed to assist the dog and together they bring the sheep up to the mark, and endeavor to get them through; but the animals show de- cided preference for the outside, and it
 is only after repeated efforts that the hurdles are successfully negotiated. The third obstacle consists of hurdles placed In the shape V, through which
 the dog must drive them without as- sistance, the shepherd giving his or ders by voice and gesture, and here the dog displayed great sagacity
 rounding the sheep time after time bringing them closer to the goal each time, finally crawling to within few inches and urging them through the opening-his success being greeted by the spectators with rounds of applause 1 which the shepherd tried to quiet, as it may frighten the sheep, which have still to be passed through narrow op- ening in the final pen; and here, in one | case, there was a failure for the shep- herd got two animals in, but the third passed around the outside, and, having lost touch with his fellows, made of down the park and was lost, the sub- | sequent proceeding interesting him nc ! more" Nine dogs competed, the same operations being performed each time

Cambridge, Mass. Sept. 22.-Har- wards football practice on Soldiers field this afternoon was stiffer than on previous days, the two elevens being given their first dose in actual lineup. No game was played, the object being to afford the backs practice in blocking off for the fullback, and the line men in breaking through and getting down quickly under a punt. Dudley Dean '92 and Dave Goodrich '9S, both Rough Riders, rejoiced their old friends by be- ing on the field. Bert G.

EARLY FOREIGN NEVIS.
Grave Situation in France Conflict Be tween Civil and Military Authorities.

Grave Situation In France-Cohuict Be
 tween Civil and Military Authorities.
 Paris, Sept. 22.-The situation here Is generally admitted by both press and people to be grave. The conflict be- tween the civil and military authorities is becoming acute. The sudden and ul- expected action of General Zurlinden, the military governor of Paris, in pros ecuting Colonel Picquart on the charge of forgery and using forged documents, assumes a grave aspect on account of the circumstances attending this inter vention of the military authorities in a civil court.
 At the present moment, when the po- litical atmosphere is surcharged with the Dreyfus affair, the general, who has just quilted the cabinet, defying civil authority, takes, without consulting his successor or the premier, an important step. In ordinary circumstances the military governor is empowered to act independently, but now that the Drey- fus question has become a great nation al matter every proceeding in the af- fair has state importance. General Zurlinden's action in ignoring this ob- vious fact is very significant. He comes forward as the defender of the army, the prosecutor of it's supposed caiumni- ators and the resolute opponent of re- vision of the case. From this to an ap- peal to the public in the line of the es- tablishment of a dictatorship there Is no wide step.
 The Soleil says that owing to yester- days events the cabinet, at an infor- mai conference, discussed General Eur linden's action, and the Fronde even as serts that the premier M. Brisson, dis avows the measures taken against Col onel Picquart which, he says were in- stituted without the knowledge of the cabinet.
 The Radical makes bitter attack on aiming at the moral assassination of Picquart through a secret military trial.
 Henri Rochefort in his paper, the In transigeant, declares that Picquart was bribed by syndicate or by Germany to save Dreyfus.
 Jaures, the socialist deputy, in the Petite Republique, maintains that the general staff of the French army can not now escape the full light of re- vision of the Dreyfus case. Colonel Picquart was transferred this afternoon to the military prison of Cherche Midi
 The Matin to-day affirms that it has authentic information to the effect that the name of Dreyfus was never once mentioned in the mass of documents brought against him. It says that the only serious document is the so-called borderau. The other documents, it ap- pears, consist entirely of fragments of letters referring to everything except Dreyfus, and the whole matter the Matin asserts, Constitutes such fairy tale that no sober minded person would dream of accepting it."

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Americas Foreign Policy" by Theo- dore Salisbury Woolsey, M. A., profess sor or international law in the law school of Yale university. A collection of essays and addresses upon the great questions which have demanded the attention of American citizens during the past four eventful years. The for eign policy of the United States is re- neWed from the standpoint of interna- uonal law, affording the reader those legal criterions which are so desirable at the present time, since they assure us of the safety of our late transactions as nation. Such topics as Our Duty to Spain,' "The War With Spain" The future of the Philippines" Law and Policy of Hawaii' An Inter- oceanic Canal" "The Fishery Ques- tion,' Thoughts on the Settlement of International Controversies" with oth- CTS as timely and important, are treat ed in a manner at once comprehensive, lucid and judicial The author says: For some years our national govern ment has seemed to be on the eve of an important change of policy in it's aims and ideals. It has shown an ever grow
 ing disposition to break away from our early habit of political isolation, and to assert itself in the rivalries of the worlds politics. How this change was to come, no man could anticipate. That we, as a people, are nearer to it's reali- zation to-day than ever before is fact which stares us in the face. What des- tiny the coming century has in store for our beloved land, who can tell? It depends upon the moral qualities of our race, exemplified in government. We shall need high aim and integrity of purpose. We shall need robust com- mon sense. If these pages contribute in any degree to a calm and sober judgment of the vital issues of the fu- ture, they will have served their end" ;"
 With this commendable purpose in view Prof. Woolsey has made a valu- able contribution to the political liter ature of the day. Dispasisonate, though animated, thoroughly reasonable and just while entirely liberal, patriotic without blind partisanship, the writer's judgment as to safe courses and tena- able transactions may be relied upon as logical and sound.
