cabin. a mule, the mules feed, and the
needful implements of husbandry were
furnished by the landlord; the tenant
put his family at work, and with their
aid he supplied the labor, and the crop
itself paid for the seed and fertilizer
used. The fertilizer note was made
payable October /, and the first cotton
went to pay that note, whether it took
one bale, two bales, or even three
bales. The landlord furnished his ten
ant during the growing and picking
season with meat, syrup, meal, and the
like, but this was an advance to come
from the tenants half of the crop: for
the crop itself was divided equally be-
tween landlord and tenant.
AS prices are today there is nothing
in raising cotton for either the land
owner or the renter, and this is why so
many cotton fields were left untouched
at the end of a seasons work and wait
ing, and while administration organs
were talking Of higher wages and bet
ter prices.
Failure in this direction is not at
ence upon the negro.
Northern farmers have tried it. They
have gone with all their Droverbial
energy. sufficient capital and the neces-
sary modern machinery; they have
had the pick of cotton plantations and
have tried to make the cotton crop
pay for its trouble; but to no avail
oil
have been reported. In every section
of the south they have occurred. BY
southern men who knew the negro and
by northern men who did not, have
the fields been deserted to waste their
summer SHOWS across the field and
forest.
The only hope for the south is to
quit depending upon the cotton crop
altogether. Republican administra-
tions are not through Furnishing the
south for it's Democracy and the tariff
schedules have shown that they were
not formerly considered in the So
called equitable distribution of tariff
aid.
Southerners should diversity their
crops. IHey Snould raise every tHlnS
for which their land and climate is
adapted except cotton. They should
raise more food-stuff and become self
sustaining. AS it is they sell their cot
ton. if they pick and bale it at all, for
barely enough to enable them to come
out even: and then they have to buy
their food of the more PROSPEROUS
north.
In every section of the south Where
diversified farming has been carried
on the people are becoming more in
dependent. They should impress the
lessons they have learned upon others
And cotton raisers ought to get it
through their heads sometime that
under existing conditions cotton rails
ing doesn't pay.

PROBLEMS FOR THE SOUTH.

Tourists travelling over the south
last winter were surprised at the num-
Der of cotton fields which had not been
picked.
The depression of the cotton market
will have two effects-two antithetical
effects. 1t has produced hardships
among the agriculturalists of the
south. 1t will encourage 4 diversity of
crops which will go a long ways towards
making the people Of the section in
dependent and self-sustaining. -
Before the civil war the price OF cot
ton was high, but the farm land was
owned principally by the slavehold-
ers. The poorer classes were found in
the towns, in the mountain or hill dis
tricts of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee,
the Carolinas and Virginia, or in the
course of emigration to some land of
promise in the west. Comparatively
few could be found in the strictly agri-
cultural districts of the cotton belt.
But the value of cotton was high for
some time after the war. Immediately
thereafter it brought 81 cents, and
cents upwards. In 1878 it fell to 9
cents, and then the misery and the
tribulations of the southern planter
begun.
Nor were the opportunities to acquire
competency in cotton raising any
thing encouraging, even in the days of
higher prices Many difficulties con-
fronted them when they came home
from a long and eXhausting war. They
tried to hire their old slaves, to BUY
on credit mules and tools and supplies.
1t was uphill work. The male negro
did not feel that he was free until
he had tested his new FREEDOM by
journeving at least a few miles and
taking a new name AS a rule, the
women and children we're left at home,
and these were about all the help the
planter could muster. Down to 1873
many railroads were built and other
improvements started in the south, and
these were eagerly sought by the new
freedmen One after another of the
planters abandoned the effort to direct
cultivation of numerous acres. After
1878 the price of cotton steadily de-
clined and this accelerated the move
ment that has resulted in the organiza-
ton of a landlord or peasant system in
every cotton state.
Land was practically unstable; all
the people were impoverished by the
war: a large black population, evenly
distributed, needed an opportunity to
work; many whites were no better off,
and the landowners were alert to find
some way out of a sea Of trouble. md
so the landowners began to deal with
the landless, the one furnishing acres
upon acres Of land, and the other all
he had-labor Forty acres went, as a
rule, with a mule. Forty acres, a

SEEKING REINFORCEMENT.

According to the testimony of sew
eral unimpeached and unimpeachable
witnesses in the recent legislative in
vestigation, Representative Law had
boosted for weeks before he made his
charges that he would spring a Mon
tana sensation" if necessary to prevent
McCune's election.
All this was weeks before he claimed
to have even spoken to McCune or any
Of his managers.
Time passed, as time will, and the
word was circulated that Senator Ride
out and Representative Stewart had
agreed to vote for McCune on the fol-
lowing morning. Then Law sent for
the chief OF police, TO whom he I'M
folded his Montana sensation
scheme
What did Chief Pratt say to the con-
spirators?
The very first thing he said was that
he had been endeavoring to get a, case
OF this kind, but than the decoy lacked
the nerve to carry it out and backed
down.
That may have been news to Law,
but dozens of people had heard of
Pratt's frantic efforts to find a man
with nerve enough to carry out the
fight begun by the organ of the dis
gruntled and apprehensive boss.
And now Chief Pratt expects Mayor
Clark to reappoint him in the face of
this record. 1t is an insult to the
mayor to intimate that he would do
such a thing

repetition of ''Faika'' at the Grand last
night. This is one OF the most interest
ing operas given by the company, with
Miss harrington, Mr.. Fetch, Mr.. Young
