WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent.

The SEVERE weather and deep fall of
snow; the preparations for the Inau-
guration; the impeachment of Judge
Swayne of Florida, the details of Nor
mon religious customs as revealed by
the Smoot investigation and the COM
ing of Christmas, are fruitful topics of
conversation at the nations capitol
city. A week ago it was considered
doubtful whether the committee having
the investigation in charge would i'm
peach Judge Swayne, but when he ad-
mitted that he charged the Govern
ment $40 per diem when his expenses
were but $1.25 day; and when it was
shown that he spent on an average
PIP days each yer out of his judicial
district, not holding court elsewhere,
the committee could do no less than
recommend his impeachment, and on
Tuesday the House came to the same
conclusion. Wednesday afternoon the
House committee appeared before the
Senate and formally impeached the
Judge Of 'shigh crimes and misdemea-
nors.' This is the first impeachment
since 1876, when the sec. of war, under
Grant, Mr. Belknap, was put on trial
aud convicted The senate has not
vet decided what it will do in matter.
Ii the trial is likely to be short one,
confined to two or three counts, it may
be held during the present session,
otherwise there are those who think it
will 90 over until next December ow-
ing to the pressure OF public business.
The great Smoot inquiry, which is
really an investigation of the Mormon
church, is in progress, and attracts q
large crowd of spectators, many of
whom are women. The secrets of the
endowment house, the ceremony of
celestial marriages; the discovery of
those who acknowledge having
plural wives; the heart rending
stories of women who have abjured
MOrmonism. and much more, make the
matter second in interest only to the
Chadwick system of money making.

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the

Ioss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
What to feed his COWS to get

he most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
ire thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone

Cuts Hnm With n Raxor.

Although Holy Joe" Dennett, the fa- nous pioneer of cheap restaurants in New York, Is now out of the business for good his methods are growing in favor there. Joe Dennett was the first man who successfully used a safety razor in shaving the shadow of pillar of ham wherewith to make a sandwich In Park Row there are three or four disciples of the idea who can shake a scimitar at a ham all day without perceptibly dinlin- isi ing it's bulk. There are two distinct schools of restaurants in New York. One comes from abroad and the other is a Yankee product. The foreign table de hote serves so much In actual bulk that the average diner usually loses all his en- thusiasm for dinner long before the piece de resistance Is reached. The Amer lean idea is to give a person so little real food that he is compelled to order second time (and pay, of course) before

 At conference of the Parker lead CTS at French Lick Springs today, and over which Thomas Taggart, National Committeeman presided, 1t was decided to shut out the Hearst delegates to the National Convention by giving positive instructions Tor Judge Parker in Thursdays convention. A canvass of the delegates was made and MT.

EvICTING NEGRO TENANTS.

New York has adopted a heroic method of dealing with the colored pop ulation who occupy locations in the city which are wanted for other pur- poses, or are wanted for building sites by the whites, There are places in the city where a great many negroes are located, and the owners of the property wish to improve it and rent 1t to more desirable tenants" as the statement goes. but 1t is added that the owners ''are having the greatest difficulty in persuading and then forcing the ne- groes to leave. The reason for that is that the negroes are not wanted any where else. All sections of the city. where they are allowed to go, are so congested that the health authorities are constantly on the alert to prevent more from coming"
 Then we are further informed that some three hundred families have been asked to move, and when they did not leave on the first of the month, eviction papers were served" Then they had to go, whether they wanted to move or not, for the owners of the property have a right to rent their houses to whom they choose and they do not choose to rent them to colored people. We learn. too, that the same conditions exist in most of the large cities of the North. The negroes are undesirable tenants and the tendency is to get them out. All this is interesting as giving an insight into the feelings existing there on the race question, but that is not a matter that we care to discuss, just now. We have the same trouble right here in Montgomery, as any one can see by looking about him. Some of the. most desirable residence lots in the city are occupied by houses which might properly be designated "shacks," l They are not only nice building lots, but many of them are located in the most desirable residence portions of the city. Some of them are occupied by quiet. well-behaved negroes, and others by the most worthless and vicious members of the race. They are not only undesirable neighbors. but in a great many instances their filthy hab- its. their mode of living and their aI- most absolute inattention to sanitary requirements make them a constant menace to the general health.
 It is not merely that these families

The Lapd. Not the Seed.

Savannah Morning News,
 \ correspondent writing from states horo. Ga, relative to the statement of Daniel J. Suily, that cotton seed is de- teriorating, says that he has given much attention to the subject of the decrease i.. the yield of cotton per acre. and has come to the conclusion that the cause of the decrease is not the deterioration of seed but ot the land. He points out that I has only been a few years since the farmers began selling their seed, and that prior to that time R went back on the land. and helped to keep 1t in fertile condition. -S
 Now about the only thing the great majority Of farmers use to keep up the productivity of their land is d little com mercial fertilizer--lO0 to 200 pounds per acre. Cotton is planted on the same land year after year. and the consequence IS that there is little cotton plant food left in it. 1t Is not at all strange therefore that the yield of cotton per acre is slowly falling oir.
 Some time ago we called attention $ to the fact that owing to the high price of cotton the farmers were gradually aban- dontnR the diversified system of farming Which had gained so much headway dur ing the last few years, and that If ehe price of cotton continued high farmers would soon be giving their whole atten- ton to cotton. We condemned of course the abandonment of the diversified sys- teni because 1t means a return to poverty.
 The farmer, fin order to be prosperous, must Keep his land rich There are vari- ous ways of doing that, but the best way Is to have plenty of stock. producing on t!.s farm what the stock needs for food. The droppings of the stock, together with the rotting hay, straw and stalks, make obopt The hest fertilizer that can be put oE land. eftss

rHn ooNNEor1our pRMooRArs.

The Hartford Courant, though a Re- publican newspaper. takes occasion to congratulate the Democrats of connec- ticut on their firm stand against the yellow journalist candidate. While it believes that the success of Hearst would practically destroy all Demo- cratic prospects and make the way of Roosevelt open and easy. it looks be. yond partisanship to the good of the ments in favor of a good man for the Democratic nomination. it says:
 This is as things should be. It is bet ter for the country, for. the State, for politics, that there should be two strong parties, than that the line of division should be very unequally drawn or be drawn not according to political beliefs, majority party on its good behavior to have a strong and watchful minority on guard.e In the long run one-sided elections are not desirable.
 The nomination of man like Mir. Hearst would necessarily mean a "one- sided election.v for nothing else could be hoped for. and The Courant is cor rect in. claiming that 1t is better for a community or State, or for the coun- try at large. that there should be two well-balanced parties contending for principles, for one is a constant check on the other. That is one reason why we maintain that the nomination of a man like Hearst would be a national misfortune. for 1t would so fortify the Repnblicans and demoralize the Demo-
 
 even more reckless than they now are. It is also reason why we have more than once argued that a strong white Republican Party in Alabama would be best for the Democracy and for the State. but we can see no prospect for such Party here.
 And. getting back to Connecticut. The Hartford Times. the Democratic or- gan, says of their State Conventions:
 This Connecticut convention had just one thing to do--to send united dele zation to St. Louis pledged to act with the Democrats of New York and In- diana In the coming Presidential cam paign. In selecting and instructing the Democratic delegates to the Ma fional Convention, 1t did not undertake to hedge them in with platform declar- ations. Connecticut's fourteen dele gates will go to St. Louis to aid in preparing platform upon which Judge Parker may stand.
 The Times refers to the late State Convention as ''the largest and most spirited convention that has been held in this State since the days of Samuel J. Tilden." and says that out of a total of sos delegates chosen. GOT were. in attendance. This shows that the Dem- ocrats of that State are in earnest and are determined to do their part towards rsdeeming Connecticut and the country from the blight of Republicanism.
