SUBSTITUTES FOR COTTON.


The cotton industry has reached
condition when farmers must change
their plsns. With the present-size OF
crops and present prices there is no
profit in cotton culture. There are
two puths which might lead to reiie1.
One, so decided q reduction OF acreage
and consequent reduction OF cotton
crop as 10 make normal consumption
and production more equal. \ seven
or eight million bale crop in place OF
an eleven million bale crop would un-
t;ucsticnably raise the price OF cotton
I:mt il seems well-nigh impossible 10
irduc~ concert of action on this line.
Two (so-called) Farmers congresses
made iiligent efforts on this line last
winter, but with little or no successes.
The only feasible method OF reducing
the cotton crop. it. seems to us, IS TO
find practicable substitutes for cotton
which viii pay. The substitution OF
such and SO much of provision crops
as will cover and meet the wants OF
the family, the laborers and the stock
of the farm will unquestionabiy pay,
and this substitution. we are reJoiced
to say, has been and still is going on.
No better substitution is possible.
Bat many farmers are in debt, all
farmers have to pay taxes-ali nave
to buy some clothing. some groceries,
some medicines, etc; the preacher and
the doctor must be paid, school books,
papers and magazines must be bought
laborers must be paid. and all these
call for money. One or more money
crops, therefore, farmer must have.
heretofore in what are call the cotton
states cotton has been almost exciu-
sively the money crop. Rice and sugar
cane, which are also money crops,
have been confined to quite limited
areas. These two crops might be IN
creased to advantage. The great ques-
ton now before the southern planters
is what substitute money crops which
will pay. and which are adapted to
our soils and climates, can be found to
take the place of quite a large portion
of the cotton crop. Can the combined
wisdom of our farmes decide the ques-
ton? We should be greatly obliged
for suggestion alone this line. Every
farmer who cultivates cotton is inter-
ested in this problem; it is to his in
terest to get every other farmer who
cultivates cotton to reduce the size OF
his crop and thus help to raise its |
price. One man finding a substitute |
which pays and keeping it to himself |
will not profit to any great extent on |
his cotton crop, for substitution must |
be general to materially reduce the |
size Of the cotton crop. II is case in |
which selfishness would defeat itself. |

Franklin.s Mother.


In Franklin's autobiography there is
only the barest mention of his mother,
Abiah, and merely as the daughter OF
zone of the first settlers of New Eng
land" Presumably this silence was
due to the eighteenth-century attitude
towards women more than to any want
of affection, for the two corresponded
with regularity, even after the mother

Franklin sent gifts of various kinds,
including "a moidore which
please to accept towards chaise hire,
that you may ride warm 10 meetings
this winter" Upon her death, in 1852,
he wrote his sister Jane: II received
yours with the affecting news of our
dear mothers death. l thank you for
your long continued care of her in
her old age and sickness. Our distance
made it impracticable for us to attend
her. but you have supplied all. She has

TROLLEY SICKNESS.
dren AlmOst Exclusively Breaks
Out In brooklyn.

| tresS III the northern suburbs and in
parts of brooklyn. As is well known,
young children are usually exempt
from seaslckness, but they enjoy no
such immunity III the matter of trolley
sickness. On the contrary, they are
peculiarly the victims of this new dis
ease. As infants play around in care
less glee or shipooard while their
| wretched elders are lost to the world
| in their hunks below, bent IN abiect
| misery over the rail or stretched limp
and hstiess upon blanketed steamer
chairs, SO IL the trolley cars, while
grown folks swing merrily from the
overhead straps or EawI the latest Cos
sip into one anoth.r's ears, the poor
little victims of trolley sickness writhe
in tortures and wal in unison.
In the case OF trolley sickness, as in
that of seas ckness, fresh air is often
the best remedy, and SO it happened
that SO long as open cars were run upon
the suburban trolley lines infant mis-
cry was kept within reasonable bounds
But now that the advance of the sea-
son has brought out the closed cars the
sickness daily increases. 1t must be
remembered. too, that in the case of
trolley sickness there is no such con-
venient rushing to the rail as IN the case
of sudden seizure on shipboard. To be
sure, most unhappy looking infant
faces are daily seen protruding from
the windows Of thu trolley cars, but
this convenient resource is seldom
available, since trolley cars are SO
densely crowded most of the time that
to get child suddenly upon the seat
and its hea.: out cf the window is al
most impossible. Mothers of foresight
encourage their children to stand on
the seats anG look out of the windows,
SO as to be in the very best possible po-
sition for any sudden emergency
But when trolley car is packed, as
Brooklyn and SUBURBAN trolley cars
sometimes are packed, and as horse
cars never were packed, because no
two horses e uld ever have drawn such
loads, the position of the infant sud-
denly seized with trolley sickness is
truly pitiable. So. too, is that of the
mother. for she receives, instead OF
sympathy. the angry looks of her fell
low passengers, who would fl ,e her and
hers as pestilence, hut who, struggle
as they may. and tread down and elbow
one another a. they will, cannot put
more than six inches between them
selves and the object OF their disgust.
In BROOKLYN. where the art of troll
ley-car riding has been brought to a
higher degree OF perfection than else
where, save in Philadelphia, there is a |
rumor that the trolley parlor cars at |
least are to have ia corps of chamber
maids. This provision, the managers
of the trolley lines hope, will promote
general comfort. Meanwhile there is a |
demand throughout all the |
territory threaded by the Huckleberry
lines for a remedy that will at least |
assuage the violence of trolley sickness.
and disposition among the childless
to demand that the discrimination /
against children practiced in some
apartments and boarding houses be ex-
tended to the trolley cars.-N. Y. Sun.
