Considerinx the otero Case.

Senator Morgan was the only speaker in
the Senate yesterday when the nomination
OF Gov. otero of New Mexico came up in
executive session. He reviewed at great
length the testimony in the case taken by
tn committee on territories. He contend
ed that Gov. otero had used his position
for the promotion Of his personal interests
and had exercised undue influence over the
legislature OF the territory. No reply was
made to any Of Senator Morgans asser-
tfons. and when 1t became evident that he
would not conclude. the Senate took up the
calendar Of unobjected nominations, post

throttle by any means. for the reason that
he has appointed G. D. White, for eight
years president Of the Eastern League. his

SOUTH LEADS NATION
I'M FARM INDUSTRIES

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. 2S.-Farmers
of the country have moved south, are
moving in that direction and will continue
to move in increasing number. Their
chance today is in the south.
Figures covering the past twenty years,
as analysed by the Southern Farm Mag
azne of this city prove 1t. The advance
of the south agriculturally in comparison
with that of the rest Of the country APP
pears in the following percentages of in
crease between 1880 and 1900:
Population .........- ......43.S oo.o
Number of persons engaged in agricul-
ture ............ .-.......- 500 OIL
Value of farm property. no 66.I
After deducting the value OF products
fed to stock and the amounts of money
spent for labor and for fertilizers, the
proceeds Of the farms represented at the
close of the twenty years period, % per
cent. returned on the investment in farm
property in the south and 14.2 per cent.
on the investment in the rest Of the coun-
try.
These are the conclusions of an elab-
crate survey Of southern farm progress
in an article. in the September issue Of
the Southern Farm Magazine, which
says:
I'm the twenty years under review the
value of farm property in the south in
creased from 81 800 1864. 321 to $o.SoI 6S1 6S2. or

5SS to 500 4S9 9O1 164 or S. 259, 1893, 626. or 81
per cent The values of farm products as
given are the value Of gross products.
They include the products fed to stock.
A clearer idea OF the relation Of products,
or the income of the farms, to the value
of farm properties, or the investment, is
to be had by deducting from the gross
value of products not fed to stock the
n Of Ia he
amount for fertilizer which in manufac-
turing might be classed as the free capt.
tai. The remainder, in the absence OF fig
ures for insurance. taxes. etc., may be
regarded as fairly representative Of farm
incomes, and the proportion that ii is of
the value of farm properties may be con-
sidered the rate of interest on the in
vestment.
Here the showing made by the south
is eminently satisfactory, on the whole.

ects with as much composure as If they
were of insignificant Importance. He
makes no notes. There are no papers on
his desk, only a blotter, an inkStand that
cost perhaps a dollar and a half, couple
of unused pens, a block of scribbling pa
per and an OXydized silver paper weight
in the form of bull, which some specula-
tor gave to him as typical of his charac-
ter.
There is very little hope of Mr.. Morgan
settling the strike. Matters have gone too
far. The issues are too sharply defined.
The several great operators and railway
companies are pledged not to yield, as
they did two years ago, under political
pressure, for fear if they held out it would
prevent McKinley's election. No such
side issue is involved in the present stu
alton, and the operators say that this Is
TO be the last of the coal strikes, and that
IL will continue all summer and all winter
until the miners yield. 1t is no longer q
question of wages or hours or treatment,
but a fight for the recognition of the min
ers' union and that the operators declare,
is impossible.
William X. Vanderbilt, who has as much
to say i'm this contest as Mr.. Morgan, is
implacable. A member of the great ma
tional Cancellation association which Mr..
Hanna and others organized last year

ton, but could make no impression upon
him.
"This strike is to decide whether Mr..
Mitchell and a lot of other labor agitators
shall run our business" said Mr.. Wander
bilt, land that is a question cannot sub
init to arbitration. If they were partners,
or stockholders, or, even if they were en-
ployes, we might discuss matters with
them and submit our differences to arbi-
tration, but no sane man can ask me to
go into an arbitration to decide whether
stranger from Indiana or Illinois shall
manage my business or whether I shall
manage ii myself When I sell out my
coal interests to Mr.. Mitchell he can run
them to suit himself, but as long as own
them / shall not permit him to do So"
On the New York Central system Mr..
Vanderbilt has not been unfriendly to
organized labor, but I am Informed that
he has never been willing 10 discuss his
relations with his employees with outside
labor officials. He has taken the same
position regarding the coal strike. He is
willing that his representatives should
meet and discuss matters Of complaint
with their own employees. or former en-
ployes," as they call them now. but not
with Mr.. Mitchell or any other official or
representative of the mine workers union.

Gratifying is the exhibit here made. It
reveals the capabilities of the agricul-
tural south. 1t is the golden side of the
shield. But there is another side. 1t is
really just as golden. Circumstances, how
ever, for which the south is not entirely
responsible have blurred it and reduced
its attractiveness temporarily. Upon II Is
written the story Of half-cultivated or
neglected opportunities.
1.-THE cue to the proper situation for
the south is given in a study OF the value
of certain crops per acre. The total for
the country was S14; the highest for the
distinctive southern crop vas $50 per acre
for sugar cane. This large average, how
ever, was due to the exceeding profit in
Hawaii, the average for sugar cane in
Louisiana being $50 The average per acre
for tobacco was $51, for rice So, for cot
ton SIS and for peanuts Sl4.
For general crops the average per acre
was 81 for wheat and oats, s. for corn,
hay and forage crops, 50 for barley and
faxseed, S13 for orchard fruits, SIG for
rye. S33 for Irish potatoes. $36 for sweet
potatoes, $54 for miscellaneous vegetables,
SS1 for small fruits, $134 for onions and
$40 for nursery products.
''The south is awakening to the elo-
quence of those figures. 1t is secure in
the advantage it has in fits special crops.
1t has demonstrated that 1T can raise
crops common to the country which bring
more money per acre than cotton, tobacco,
sugar or rice, It remains for it to enter
int its own"
