HERRIOTT REPLIES TO SHAW.
Development Of an Oficial Disputation in
the Hawkeys state.

Des Moines, Ia, April 81. -. State
Treasurer John Herriottissued state
ment concerning his differences with
his colleagues of the executive council
in reference to railroad assessments.
He charges that in a statement some
time ago, defending the majority Of
the council, Governor Shaw misrepre-
sented him. Picking out several state
ments of the governor, HerriOtt an.
swers each with the statement that it
is false.
He proceeds with C detailed argu-
ment to show that for series Of
years the council in assessing the rail-
roads has favored the Chicago and
Northwestern. He states that that sys.
TEN pays about $4,000 less taxes an
nually in Iowa than 1t would il as
sessed at the same average rates as
the other roads Of the state, and
charges that this is because of political
influence with the council.

WE TOLD you so.

Some time in August, while Neill
the cotton expert, CD was publishing
his estimate OF u twelve million bale
cotton crop for this season, we doubt
ed the accuracy of this prediction,
and warnci the farmers not to be de-
ceived by it, but hold on toltheir cot
ton or as much Of it as they could,
that Neill was badly OF his nut in hi
estimate. We have watched the
cotton crop statements aud advised
the farmers that Nrill was missing
the crop 3 million bales IS the crop
would not reach more than 9,0CO,O0
bnlrs, and that tho price was bound
to 60 up, we predicted that cotton
would surely reach cents before the
season was over, at The time we made
cotton, at this point was s. cents. 1t
soon reached Il point above New
! York s quotations. Cotton brought
u on this market when New York
spots were worth only GI anal!y =
was reached here, and We still advised
the holding Of cotton, at this time
the market began to iluctuate, and
the price was up one day and down
the next, and many Of onr farmers
who had been holding cotton and
backing oUr Judgment began to get
discouraged, and sod, some Of them
70. even less than - We felt snf"
that cotton would reach S cents be-
tween February 10Th and March lst.
Our figure has been reached even -
little ahead OF time, as cotton is Ow
worth $40 in Union. This mCans /
! saving to those farmers who il ave
backed our Judgment, Of nearly 50 II
that there arc quito n number o.
iacme7s 10 U0ion who still h9ve cot
too on band for wl.ich they can no'"
get q reasonable price We heiicv
that > cents cotton is thing uf th,,
past, aud advise our farmers not 90
plant for large crop next year. W"
would not be surprised to see ,h"
market open at cents and possibly
reach % to 10 cents before the last Of
The season, but will require short
crop to do it. We hope every farmer
in the South will profit by the lesson
taught this year, and diversity their
crops so that they will eventually be
able to make cotton their surplus o.,
money crop. We are glad to report
that there is moro grain sown in
Union county than has been known
in half n century. 1t is looking we'll,
and we hope large crop will be real
| iZcl. One more short cotton crop
year will use up all surplus, and then
you need have 10 uneasincss Of over
production, as cotton mills still con
tinue to so up, and it will be Il hard
matter for England to accumulate
another large surplus. In the mean
time you will experience the pleasure
Of living at home by using your land

portation and traffic corporations,
whose business may DO affected by
the construction of the canal, .'have
resumed their combined opposition
To the project with renewed vigor,
and they will use the new treaty as u
preteNt for staving off favorable ac-
tion on the bill, and that the influ-
ences back of the opposition have on
previous occasions been sufficiently
potent to delay, and sometimes pre-
vent, Congressional action on certain
measures, and he expresses the belief
that they will succeed in preventing
the bill from becoming Il law. The
rules OF the Senate, permitting un-

stretched to the limit
That is getting to q pretty pass, if
an insignificant minority in both

very strong speech in favor OF the G

the inhuinan treatment OF convictS in

that prisoners have been kent in cells
which were unfit for stabling horses,
the convicts have had their feet fr,Znn

are whipped when they do not finish

all made in support Of the establish
ment OF a reformatory in the peniten

meted out to criminals, but there is
no excuse for such iuhumon cruelty y

Peach YeIiows.

The Ohio Experiment Station calls time
ly attention TO peach yellows, and gives
the following prescription and means of
recognizing the disease: Yelows is a
highly contagious. incurable disease of the
peach. Trees affected with it should be
destroyed at the earliest possible moment
by uprooung and digging them out and
burning roots, trunk and branches, in
GLIDING fruit, on site. No remedy save
that has proyen successful Dragging dis
eased trees or branches through an or
chard will infect healthy trees. Late sum-
mer and fan are the most favorable times
for detection of yellows by symptoms of
fruit and twiSs. These are: ]. Premature
ripening OF the fruit, which is highly eel
oredt and spotted and has the flesh marbled
with red. ,. Premat ure unfolding of win
ter buds. 3, Abnormal development Of

Cheap Meat.

The breeding of Belgian hares opens up
new opportunities in great many ways,
the most important of which of course.
is the production of an unequalled guam
tity of meat at so little cost. 1t is ad-
mitted by all who have tasted the meat
of a Belgian hare that it is as fine as any
meat they have ever eaten. Another is
to have pets for the little folks that win
pay their own expenses if properly
handled. AnOthed important opportunity
that is usually overlooked is the chance
to give the boys a little business train
ing, and al the same time a few practi-
cal lessons in breeding stock with def
mite purpose in view. For instance. cross
ing a strain of Belgian with good shape
and sood body color, but short on tick
ing and ear lacing on another strain with
an abundance of those points lacking on
sthe other side.
A Kansas man has been trying to cal
cu'ate the number Of Belgian hares he
will have from his trio in ten years,
taking some popular estimates as the
basis Of his estimates.~>He is now kick
ing because his arithmetic only deals
with figures up 10 decillions.
