One of the most absurd ideas that we have seen advanced in some time is now being seriously discussed in some of our New England contemporaries with evident earnestnsss. It is noth- ing less than a proposition to unite the six New Engigand States. Into one. In- stead of having six small States the idea is to have one large one. True. the new State would be only about one-fourth the area of Texas. and its population considerably smaller than that of Penpsyivania. but 1t would do away with the small commonwealths and substitute one that would be re- spectable in size and numbers.
 There would be something in such action of far more importance than the surrender of separate State autonomy, important as that may be considered . There would be the matter of repre- sentation in Congress to consider, for although the new State would proba- ply have as many Representatives in the lower House as at present it would have only two Senators instead of twelve. and that would mean a loss of power and influence which no loyal Yankee can even think of without loss of appetite. Then, too. that consoli- dated section would lose correspond. ingiy in representation in the eIscto- ral college, which is another matter that can't be swallowed by the Yankee brethren.
 Absurd as this proposition may seem 1t Is seriously discussed by the prom inent newspapers up there. The Spring field (Mass.) Republican argues that the loss of numbers and influence in Congress and in Presidential elections Is an insuperable obstacle in the way of merging the six States into one and The Hartford Times finds other and se- rious objections. "one may be found. |" 1t says. "in comparing the tax rates in the cities and towns of Massachu- setts with the rates In Connecticut. The people of Massachusetts have developed the most costly local government on the face of the earth. A tax rate ex- ceeding $2O on the $1,O0O of taxable property Is now not unusual In the Bay State, and unless a halt Is soon called in the extravaganza of both the State and municipal governments, the pre- vailing tax rate there promises to be $25 on the thousand. The huge State ] debt of Massachusetts and the heavy State tax furnish reason why the people of the other New England States could not be induced for mo- ment to consider any wiping out of State lines In New England in the near future"
 That Is another matter that touches them in a tender place. If the new State were formed as suggested we do not know how the debts and taxes would be adjusted, but plainly some of the present States have no inclination

Now, every cattle shipper knows this to be true. and let us for all the above causes only reckon the loss at the low es- innate of an average of tB per head on all Alabama cattle and there IS an m nhenee but proven loss of $lO.000, 900, annually on her 2.6o0.000 horned cattle!
 And now Is there any one so dull as not to see why and how Alabama IS concerned at the ravage and useless waste caused by the cattle ticks? Sure iy. the most stupid must seel But how long shall this pest and curse continue? ? Well. 1t will continue forever. or just so long as the people are content to re- main In lazy indifference as to the cause. and not arise in their might and by their concerted action stamp out the ticks and the contagiou by the rig Id use of grease and Quarantine. We never can talk the ticks to deathl The spread of the evil has been so quiet. and we observed that 1t. has failed to public opinion. But 1t has forced the leaders of opinion In Alabama must act But the fact is you men of ink really make public opinion by the clear pres sentatlon of cold, but solid facts.

His brain and muscle are his stock in trade and he sells 1t to the man he serves at 90 much per week.

With these facts before the farmers they should not city and take a striking mans job. When he does he is helping the com- mon enemy to organized farmer and la esoreE; for ths F.. capitalist would would crush even now in various ways doing all in their power to cause the Farmers Un- ion to fail of its objects.
 Not only should union farmers keep away from a striking mans job, but he should use all honorable means to keep any one from taking it..

The workingman as a rule lives up to his wages, whatever they may he. and the farmer indirectly receives the full beneht of high wages paid to organized labor.
