A FARMERS INSTITUTE.

Mr.. William l.. Amoss, Director of
Farmers institutes, is making arrange
mcnl> Tor the meetings 10 be held I'M
der his supervision.
1t is desired that committees be
formed. in both town and country, to
attend 10 The details OF securing at
tendance, accommodation and comfort
for all who may wish to attend these
gatherings of intelligent agriculturists.
1t is impossible To hold more than
one institute in each county and cir
culal petitions have been issued to as
certain where the greatest interest is
manifested as it is the purpose of the
Director to be governed largely in the
selection o! localities by the petitions
that may he filed with him.
This is an agricultural community.
1t is community that would gain
profit by enlightenment and by the
adoption of more advanced methods in
cultivating the lands. Thrift and in
dustry ought to be encouraged. So
many farms throughout the county give
evidence of neglect. Young men be-
come discouraged and go to the city,
but the fault lies often with themselves.
There cannot be SUCCESS in any occu-
patton without industry and strict at
tention to details. A man with health
and strength can always have a COM
Portable and happy life upon the farm,
if he will work constantly and per-
sistcntly. He cannot neglect his bus
mess, and expect to succeed. What
the farmer learns by experience is the
most valuable knowledge he can have,
but he should be ever ready to learn
from others. The object Of the Farm
ers' Institutes is to instruct, and we
believe that every one engaged in
farming can he benefited by listening
to lectures from experienced and prac-
ticai men. This is what tie system of
Farmers Institutes supplies and our
people, if tlty would succeed better,
should avail themselves of the advant-
ages thus offered.

ONEROUS WAR TAXES.

1t is encouraging to note consensus Of
opinion among business men generally, ir-
respective of party, and also among some
Republican leaders in Congress, that the
war tax should be wholly or in large part
repealed at the coming session. In urg-
there was revenue in excess of the re-
qnirements OF government Mr.. Clev' land
declared that unnecessary taXati"i is UNI
just taxation. That is :" plain Il PROPOSE
ton that it would scarcely seem neces
sary to state it. And vet Congress PER
mits this unjust taxation to continue 1t
continued in Mr.. Cleveland'S time until
a great amount accumulated. Congress
taxation upon the people beyond the
amount required for the conduct Of the
Government economically administered.
Anything beyond that is legalzed rob
berry And yet the taxes levied to pro-
vide funds for the Spanish War are still
collected, although the war ended two
years ago. These taxes, along with the
extortions of the Dingley tariff bill, have
produced during the present fiscal year
more than was required by eighty million
dollars. For the next fiscal year, that
ending July 1, 1902, the surplus revenue
is estimated at thirty millions. At the
time of the great surplus which had been
accumulated during Mr.. Cleveland's first
term the demand for a reduction of taxa
ton was met by spending the surplus in
the payment of pensions and in other
ways and then by levying still heavier
taxes, which were repealed by the Wilson
bill
1t is to be hoped that the present SUI
plus will not be distributed to favored
steamship companies as subsidies, but that
the taxes will be repealed. 1t depends
principally, of course upon what Senator
Hanna says. Other gentlemen are talking
no "ever, and making promises of relief.
Among them is Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsyl-
vania, member of the Ways and Means
Committee, who is reported to have prom
ised reduction of taxation to the extent
of fifteen or twenty million dollars year.
Many of the taxes which went into effect
June 1, 1898, and are known as war taxes
are extremely onerous and vexatious.
Among these are the stamp tax of 2 cents
on checks and notes, the heavy stamp tax
upon mortgages and deeds, insurance
policies, stock certificates, the tax on
inhertances, ranging from three quarters
of per cent. up to per cent the tax
upon bills of ladng, kilograms and to-
bacco and the license tax upon dealers, etc.
People submitted To these annoyances as
a patriotic duty while the war lasted, but
they are now exceed Ugly FESTIVE, and
there is Il general and luu | demand for
their pea.-Baltimore >n"

GEORGIA FEARS THE CUT.

A dispatch to the Baltimore SIM from
| Atlanta Georgia, says:
| Leading politicians IN this State are
greatly worried over the persistent rumors
that the Republicans propose to enact
laws in the next Congress which will
greatly reduce Southern representa-
ton
Under the new Federal census, which
gives the State an increase approximate
ing so, 900 inhabitants in the last 10 years,
Georgia will be entitled to another Con-
gresham, provided the basis of represen
tation is not changed. Just when the
slate makers were in their highest fettle
over the agreeable task of redistricting
the State and setting on foot the race for
a new Congressman, comes the news that
the State may be deprived of benefits &C.
cruing in this direction from the splendid
percentage of growth shown.
These fears are lent FEASIBILITY by the
fact that bill contemplating the disfran-
chisement of the negro is now before the
Legislature. Its author-T. w. Hard
wick-introduced the measure last year
and it was ANONYMOUSLY defeated. Since
that time, however, sentiment in favor of
ballot restriction has grown. 1t received
boost when Governor Gambler, in his
recent annual message to the Legislature,
practically recommended the passage of
the bill. Thus encouraged Mr.. Hardwick
a second time has offered the bill, but he
thinks its chances will be enhanced by
putting it before constitutional
convention, which he hopes to have
called next July. Those who should
know the situation state that the indica
tions are not favorable to the calling of
this convention and that Mr. Hardwick
will not bring his bill to a vote until next
year.
One thing is postive-and that is that
as long as they can prevent it the conserv-
alive element of the politicians will not
let the bill pass. This element will
fight it tooth and nail bringing to bear
the argument that it will place Georgia
in the list Of States put under the ban of
the triumphant Republicans. Using this
as leverage there is little doubt that the
Hardwick bill, either at a constitutional
convention or before the Legislature
direct, will meet second time with over
whelming defeat.
Though the Governor, and perhaps a
majority of the managers of the
machine which runs State politics,
in their hearts favor the cutting off of the
negro vote, they are not willing to jeopar-
disc the Congressional representation of
the State or her vote in the Electoral
College in behalf of measure which at
the best is not urgent

1t is understood that the proposed
$25,000,000 combination of North Car
DINA pine manufacturers will lie char
tered under the name of the United
Lumber ard Timber Company. In
speaking Of the project Mr.. Charles r..
Flint, of New York, who is associated
with August Belmont in financing IL c
scheme, is quoted as follows: AT the
present time large amounts Of timber
are owned 10y persons whose mills are
located less favorably for its manufac-
ture by reason of being more remote
from it than others; large economies
can be effected by an interchange of
timber, carrying it to the nearest mills;
4 great advantage can lie secured by
sending to those mills most economi-
cally equipped to ill the particular
specifications required and to mills
from which the lowest rate of freight
prevails to the destination of the order.
Economics can also be secured from a
uniform method Of grading and dis
tribution. Very large economies can
be made by amassing orders and ship
ping by much larger vessels, and steam
TO large extent will take the place OF
sail"

TIts; SHIP SUBSIDY EME.

Both Senator Piatt and Senator
Cu!lom,' says the New York Times,
have announced a part of the program
for the next session of Congress. Boil
agree that the Ship Subsidy bill will
be passed. 1t is characteristic of the
mere partisan Republicans that they
can learn little from the facts under
their eyes and are llind to the changes
going on around them. There is all
solutely no popular support for sub
sidy bill to promote the building of
ships, for which the regular and pay
ing commercial demand exceeds the
supply That we are not able to turn
out Of our slipyards enough ships to
carry tie foreign trade that is offered
and that is constantly increasing is
perfectly true at present. How long
this state of things will last no one can
say. While it does las. it is not the
shipbuii,lers who are embarrassed by
tit is the shippers"
On the same subject the Springfield
Republic an says:
"The very facts advanced to bolster
up the subsidy contention constitute
its most effective refutation. In the
time ol wooden ships the United States
had no difficulty in keeping its place
on the ocean in free competition with
the world, because for one thing es-
pccialIy it controlled the cheapest and
most abundant supply Of shipbuilding
material And in time of iron and
steel ships the United States can re,
cover and easily hold it's former place
on the ocean whenever it can lead the
world in the cheapness and abundance
Of iron and steel. And this time of
American supremacy in iron and steel
and fuel is now here"

GILMAN TO RESIGN.

DR.. Daniel C. Gilman, who for nearly
25 years has been president of the Johns
Hopkins University-in fact, its first and
only president-has signified his inten-
ton of resigning that position and retir-
ing to private life.
Last Saturday at the meeting of the
board of trustees a letter was received
from DR.. Gilman informing the board of
his purpose and explaining that his resig
nation would take effect at the close of
the present scholastic year, which will
complete service of just one quarter of
century as heard Of the university. The
formal resignation will be rendered in
short time, DR.. Gilm ans purpose in notify
ing the board being to give it npportuni-
ty to look over the field carefully in Sc
curing his successor.
The trustees regret the decision of DR..
Gilman and have urged him to reconsider
but the matter has been put in such way
as to convince the gentleman composing
the board that it is final and will not be
reconsidered. Without exception the
trustees speak highly of the work done
by Mr.. Gilman as president of the univer
sity. Three years ago the prospect of
DR.. Gilman's leaving the university to
accept the position of Superintendent of
Schools of Greater New York brought
forth protest, the alumni, number of
business men and the board of trustees
joining in the effort to retain him. DR..
Ct1,n,p hon had bic Wit Il
from consideration.
The reason now given for his resigna
ton, according to a member of the board,
is that contained in DR.. Gilman's letter,
namely that he is approaching 70 years
old and feels that it is time for younger
man to take hold. By this action, it is
said, he is following the example of heads
of other great educational institutions
and complying with a sort of unwritten
law that recognizes 20 years as the age
limit for university presidents.
