Governor Hughes and the Bosses

Because Governor Hughes is to leave
the New York state house in October to
go upon the bench of the United States
supreme court Bosses Barnes. Woodruff
and wadsworth mustered up courage to
cause the legislature to vote down his
primary bill, known as the Cobb bill
and then the legislature adjourned with
out day.
The governor gave them about a month
tain the desires and opinions of their
constituents. and then he ordered them
to meet in extra session on June 90. He
thinks they need more time in which to
consider ballot reform, including the Cobb
bill.
Instead of dickering with them or
bullying them. Governor Hughes simply
takes an appeal to the political sense of
the state, and the general belief in New
York is that the members will come
back on June 20 ready to pass a salts
factory primary bill rather than to throw
the issue into the coming general cleo
ton In New York. A governor, United
States senator, legislature and SO con-
gressmen are to be elected in November,
and the bosses. will hesitate before they
deny to the people the right by direct
action to conduct their own public affairs.
The three bosses have thick skins, but
they will not court defeat by saying to
the people that they are not competent
to. transact their own political business.

A public library reader who says he's

In that brief moment his entire life
passed in review before him.

THE HORSES PRAYER

From the New York Evening World.
Pathetic and ironical as it may seem,
the horse looks up to man as his god
In the Swedish they have Prayer OF
the Horse" addressed to his human lord
and master, which in sum is as follows:
20 lord, my master, thank and adore
you for the kind word you spoke to me
long ago, and | strive In the hope that
you will pet me once In a while. II
cannot understand what you wish me TO
do, please be patient and show me. Don't
beat me or jerk on the reins, but look
and see IL something is not wrong with
the harness.
Il beg of you not to whip me- going up
hill, nor give me loads heavier than can
pull. Keep me shod so that 1 can get a
foothold, and don't let the farrier cripple
my feet. II am sick or have an ul-
cerated tooth, go easy with me for a day,
as am beside myself with pain.
'.Oh, grant me cool, clean water in the
hot weather, and let me not eat my
fodder dry.
Finally when my strength is gone,
and 1 cannot any more work for you
enough to be worth my keep, / beseech
of you don't let mo be sold to drag a
vendors cart but take my life in the
quickest and easiest way, and God will
reward YOU in this life and in heaven

STUBBORN MR.. JEFFRIEs
rom the WashingAon Post

$50 " eiii6 w oSt.
II reports from San Francisco are cor
rect, Mr.. Jim Jeffries persists in training
in very offhand method that is not
designed to make him a great fighting
machine for the celebration of July 4.
The gentlemen with whom Mr.. Jeffries
has surrounded himself have discussed
art and literature with him, and now
and then have spared a few timid
rounds with him. Most of those VITA
whom he has spared can be described
euphoniously as ''has-beens."
Now that James j. Corbett is to take
charge. there may be change. It is
reported that Gentleman jim will adj
wise harder and rougher work, especially
the kind that will bring about greater
speed in Jeffries footwork. Mr.. Corbett
can be depended on for plenty of instruc-
tion in the fine points of the game, but
what Jeffries would seem to need more
than anything else is a little preliminary
fighting.
John L. Sullivan put his finger on the
right button when he said that what
Jeffries needs Is a good fighting partner.
Jack Johnson is taking on all heavy
weights who care to engage him. The
one who gives him the hardest battle
will be engaged as permanent sparring
partner for the next month
Jeffries, 1t would naturally be expected,
should have more brains than the colored
man; but If he has, he is content to
have them without using them. He
should know that johnson is going to be
a very hard man to beat, and should
prepare for the grueling battle with
fighters of like youth and power.
Unless Mr.. Jeffries changes his tactics
it will probably be the old story of youth
against age.

SplendOr of the DOnati Comet

There are many living who can recall
the comet that DIR. Donat of Florence

earth never passed through its tall 1t
never came near the earth. 1t was, how
ever, wonderful spectacle. Instead of
fuzzy head and dim tail of the HALEY
sort, it had a glowing head just after
sunset as large as a full moon and much
more effulgent, and its tail apparently
about IL feet long, was very bright. No
glasses were needed in seeing the beauti-
full comet that hung low in the west i'm
mediately after sunset Everybody saw
It and everybody appreciated the specta-
Gle. No press agents had anticipated its
coming. and DIR. Donati was the first man
who saw it in the sky
It will be 2oOo years before we shall see
1t again, say the astronomers When 1t
does appear the world will be treated to
a spectacle indeed It's full effulgence de-
spite its vast distance was in striking
contrast to the weak display that Hal
ley's comet is offering us in these days.

Birmingham's Census Figures

while there was a good deal of COM
plant about the census work at the start,
am convinced that the enumerators
were not at fault" said a member of the
Chamber of Commerce committee Sap-
pointed to cooperate with the enumer-
ators.
TT is hardly conceivable that after ali
the publicity which was given to the
census plans any considerable number %
householders should have declined to an
swer the simple questions asked. Yet,
hundreds of women refused when the
enumerators first called to give them any
information whatever. AS we'll as 1 can
recollect, 1t was not this way 10 years
ago. But after all, Birmingham has. I
believe been we'll enumerated few
hundred may have been missed In the
final round up but Birmingham will
make a good showing in the census table.
If we fall short of $4,000 the figures viii

Agricultural Reform In the South

The May report of DIR. s. A. Knapp, in
charge of the farmers demonstration de-
partment of the general education board,
is full of interesting and encouraging
facts touching the lot of small farmers
in the cotton states. Within a few years
many farmers have been able to change
their lot from one of poverty and indebt-
edness, with children growing up in ig-
pendence But DR.. Knapp is not justified
in saying that revolution in farm work
in the south has been accomplished.
This. alas is not the case. Here and
there farmers have been induced to adopt
modern methods but the change Is by no
means general. Time aided by numerous
demonstrators can alone do that.
The work last year cost the general ed
ucation board established by John D.
Rockefeller 100000 This money was
chiefly spent in the payment of demon
strators' salaries The work has not re-
lated to the use of expensive fertilizers
which the small farmer cannot afford to
buy, but 1t has related to deep rather
than shallow ploughing and to the inten-
sive cultivation of a small piece of land
rather than of poor farming over wide
area.
The results have been eminently salts
factory. In Harnett county, N. c., the
demonstrators got an average OF 1888
pounds of seed cotton to the acre, where
the natives obtained only s27.s pounds
They got "A bushels of corn, where the
natives never got more than II bushels.
Hiram Blank of winona, Miss, was Q
small cotton farmer who produced about
nine bales a year and always was in
debt. lie was thoroughly discouraged
when the agent reached him three years
ago He now produces 81 bales of cotton
besides all the corn, hay, and pork for his
farm, and is out of debt He went vol
unfairly to this springs state meeting in
Mississippi and told of his success
When he had finished merchant got uI
in the audience and said: Eyes, foui
years ago Blank could not get credit for
az plug of tobacco in this town; now wher
he comes here we run after him to sci
him what he wants. He is considered one
of the most progressive farmers in this
community
1t is still disputed question between
the government plan of growing corn ant
the Williamson method, but there is ne
dispute among intelligent men concerning
the superiority of deep ploushing over
the scratching of the surface by half
starved mule. Flowing 70 inches deep is
the great need of the south, and this calls
| for three-horse ploughs.
The demonstrators and the general ed
ucation board are doing valuable work
They have not created a revolution al
and if they will persevere they will ye
be able to put an end to slovenly ant
wasteful farming In the south. When thi
is accomplished the south will become tn,
