Special Efforts to Direct immigration in
that Direction.

Capt. j. +. Merry of the passenger
department of the Illinois Central
Railway, whose headquarters are at
Dubuque, Iowa. says that the inqui-
ries regarding farming conditions in
the South have been so frequent re-
Gently that the management of the
Illinois Central Railway Co., has de-
cided to make extraordinary bids for
immigration business and intimated
that it would be turned in the direc-
ton of Mississippi, where good lands
can be bought for from So to 81 to
from so to $15 an acre. He said that
many persons from the Northwest
who wished a change have been going
to Oklahoma and the Indian Terrific
~, but the lands have so appreciated
in value there that the intending i'm
migrants are turning toward Missis-
sippi. Captain Merry's aim will be to
get thrifty, up-to-date farmers, with
a little money behind them, and to
try the results of investment in the
Mississippi delta. He will try not
only to secure settlers, but also inves-
tors in lands from the Northwest.
He has recently made a trip through
the Southern districts served by the
Illinois Central and the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley railroads, and he finds
that the people along the roads are
glad of the prospects of such develop
ment. He has been in conference
with real-estate men in Jackson, Miss.

When a man gets the idea into his
head that a newspaper has it in for
him, simply because it tries to get a
long with its business without asking
favors of him, it is probable that he
is injuring himself more than he is
the paper by talking about it. A
well conducted newspaper, that works
for its community and keeps up with
the times, has no time to have it in
for any man, nor can the man who
pays its bills be censured by an intel
ligent public for feeling that he is the
best judge of that which should be ad-
mitted to its columns. The best cure
for men who entertain the idea that
they could run a paper so much better
than its editor, is for them to get tan
gled in the business themselves, where
they will be constantly hustling for
money to meet expenses, and at the
same time listen to the criticisms of
those who know so much more than
the publisher. -Okalona Sun.

BERMUDA GRASS.
The Excellent Properties Of this Wonderful
Grass set Forth.

The Jackson correspondent OF the
New Orleans Picayune, who invariably
has some good advice along the agri-
cultural and industrial line recently
published an article setting forth the
virtues and value of bermuda grass.
1t is shown that in many ways this is
of the main-stays of the state, as
sisting materially in the development
of the stock and cattle industry. The
article contained the following eulogy
on bermuda grass by Prof. S. NJ. Tracy,
the eminent agricultural expert of the
| A. s. NJ. College:
Il have been over a large portion of
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, the
region where the drought has been
most severe. and | find the bermuda
pastures the only one which are able
to furnish forage after six weeks of
scortching sun. In fact, this drought
resisting characteristic of the bermu-
da constitutes one of its chief values
in all regions subject to W sum-
mer drought. 1t is the foundation OF
every really good pasture throughout
the entire gulf states region.
1T is essentially IA rich land grass,
continued Prof. Tracy, land nowhere
in the world does it succeed better
than on the black prairie region Of
northeast Mississippi, the creek anC
river bottom lands in the central par
of the state, and on the moist alluvia
lands of the delta. In careful feedin,
tests made at the state experiment
station, bermuda was found to b'
about 8 per cent. more valuable thar
the best timothy hay for both mule
and cattle. Its yield exceeds that o
any other grassmaking hay of equal,
good quality, and its thrifty growth
where properly cared for, has changed
many Mississippi counties from i'm
porters to exporters of mules.
THE rapidly-growing appreciation
of its value is doing more than an.
other n thing to develop live stool
industry in the state. The bermudi
fields of Mississippi will soon rival tn
famous blue grass regions of Ken
lucky"

SECTIONAL FEUDS.

part of their platform, that Federal
representation should be reduced in
the States that have placed reStric-
tionS upon the suffrage.
This effects, in a measure. a num-
Der of the Northern States that have
educational or tax-paying qualitica-
tions on the elective franchise. But
affects more vitality the Southern
States that have placed conditions or
the suffrage. This action OF the Ohio
Republicans may have been taken and
for the purpose of holding the negro
voters who are quite numerous in that
State, and it may not be the real pur-
pose of the leaders of the Republican
party to force any legislation through
congress on this subjuct.
The issue, at this time, is to be
greatly deprecated; and it is to be
hoped that the discussion of this ques-
tion in congress will be postponed UNI
til the last vestige of sectionalism has
disappeared, and until the leaders of
both sections can treat the constitu-
tional question involved in a calm and
bipartisan spirit. and with modera-
ton and impartiality.
At this time when all of the old
sectional issues are rapidly disappear
ing. and when the North and the
South are again reunited in the bonds
OF patriotism, it is most deeply to be
regretted that a new question should
be introduced into National politics
that carries with it all the dangers OF
another sectional quarrel.
1t is most unfortunate that the ne
gro question has been in one shape OF
, another the great note of diScord be
tween the people of the North ant
the people Of the South for more thar
fifty years, should come up in thi.
newest and latest phase, just at &
time when the patriotic citizens of the
country are rejoicing over the pacifica
tion of all sections Of this great Re
public.
A few years later the construction
and application of the Federal ant
representation clause of the Four
teenth Amendment could be consider
ed and adjusted on some equitable an(
just basis, provided the leaders o
the North, as well as those of tn,
South, would deal with the question il
a broad and liberal way.
The patriotic men Of the who'll
country should resolve that the NOrtl
and the South should have no MOI
sectional feuds in National politics t
ALLEVIATE politically from each othe
that great sections of our commo
country.
The question of political ethics, a
!, well as OF constitutional law, involves
, in the representation clause of tn
Fourteenth Amendment should not b
placed in the category of a partisia
issue.
If it becomes necessary for congress
! to consider it, there will certainly b
! patriotism enough in congress to CON
pell fairness and moderation in til
treatment.
