TWO KINDS OF FARMERS.
Those Who Plan and Push Their
Work and Those who Let
Their Work Push Them.

There are several kinds of farmers
those who plan and push their work
and enjoy it, those who push their
work without an intelligent plan, and
fume and fret, and those who have
the happy and phlegmatic knack OF
letting their work push them. And
then there are still few who will
not even permit themselves to be
pushed.
The kind of farming done fairly IL
illustrates the kind of farmer. There is
no salvation for the man who is too
lazy to farm; and there is little hope
for the farmer who is so deficient. In
planning capacity as to let his work
push him. To be sure, there are times
when the season seems to be against
the intelligent, pushing farmer; but
ordinarily executive ability will tell
against any form of obstacle. MANY

Guilty in the task of reconstructing his

has been offered the choice OF several

Chief Secretary to ireland.
Owing to this decision, the Fifth and
Sixth Army Corps of War Secretary Brod-
rick's reforme scheme will not be consti-
tuted through the lack of necessary re-
cruits. 1t Is reported that General Hun
ter, who was nominated for the command
Of the Sixth Corps. Is to be transferred to
India to command either the Bombay or
Madras district.
This has led to renewed rumors that
General Hunter win succeed Lord Kitch-
ener as Commander in Chief in India and
the latter will be called home to succeed
Mr.. Brodrick as Secretary of War.
All this. however, is merely speculation.
Much public feeling has been displayed
against appointing Mr.. Brodrick to the
India office, and it is believed that the
difficulty centers in providing a Secretary
of War and Secretary for India.

cial election to-day TO issue S2175,O0O in
bonds for the improvement OF the water
works. the parks. market-house and City
Hospital. incomplete returns show the
bonds carried by a vote Of more than to /.
The only opposition to the bonds was
due to a feeling that the patronage at
tendant on the improvements, would be
used by Mayor Reed and his political as
sociates In his campaign for the guberna-
torial nomination.
Reeds followers also charged that the
Shannon wing of the Democracy worked
against the bonds. fearing the patronage
would put the Reed faction in permanent
control The returns indicate that the
charge is not without foundation. for the
largest vote against the bonds came in
wards recognized as Shannon strong
holds.
City employees were out with lists Of the
voters in each precinct, and they were
checked of as they went to the polls.
There was city employe in charge of
each precinct of each ward. The talk of
mistrust and lack of confidence as an ar

Credentials Body Is Unable to
Agree on the Seating of New

HE is STILL CONFIDENT.
Declares That Even if Els Union
Is Disbarred He Will Return
to Gotham and Continue
His Work.

Kansas City, NO.. Sept. 22.-The Creden-
tials Committee appointed by President
Buchanan Of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
Was still In secret session late tonight,
not having yet broken the deadlock which
developed soon after beginning its work
yesterday at noon.
Just what question the committee is
trying to settle is problematical. but It is
believed that the seating OF Sam Parks
and friends OF the rival delegation from
New York is the most serious difficulty
which the committee has to contend with.
It is confidently believed that the Creden-
tiaIs Committee will be ready to report
when the association meets in the morn
ing.
Parks at midnight stated that the re-
be favorable to his delegation. The anti
Parks delegation, while they would not
discuss the question as freely as Parks
did, discredited his claim.
The convention held no session to-day,
as the Credentials Committee had been
unable to reach any agreement and no
business can be transacted until it has
been ascertained who is qualified TO sit in
the body.
President Buchanan, who has expelled
the Parks union, Still stands by his guns
He declared to-day that his candidacy
for reelection depended entirely upon the
outcome of the Parks case. Ii Parks Is
seated he will not run for office.
Parks says he cannot lose much IL he is
defeated. He thinks he will win in the
end. In that event, he says, he will
march back to New York and continue to
run his little union of 5,00O men just the
