RUSK’S REPORT.
Tie Secretary of Airicnltnre Sends
rflPjR 10 tllO rTOSifiODL
He Makes Some Good Suggestions to
Cotton Growers.
A V asbington dispatch of Sunday c ays:
Secretary R isk has sought to make his
fourth and last annual report as the head
of able the document departm nt of agriculture a valu-
and has grouped together
m»ny interesting facts to show what a
great agr culturid people we are. He
says we seutahroad last year $200,000,000
of products more than we had to import
from foreign nations, and 80 per cent of
these produces were agricultural. He
claims some credit for that because he
shows an incre seof 40.000,000 pounds
of weight in pork sent to countries
which formerly excluded American pork
r.nd $40,000,000 value increase in our ex-
ports of live cattle and fill this comes
from increased precaution to secure the
healthfulness of American food products,
Tne regulations enforced for the preven-
tion of Texa- fever alone have saved cat-
tie growers more than three times the
cost of rti ning tho whole department.
Regarding wheat be says: “Taking the
world throughout the crops more than
tqu led the lean crops of 1891. So there
yarthaa was actually more wheat grown in that
in 189*, and conditions which
have at b s’ overwhelmed the cotton
growers now confront the wheat giowers.
M hi In insisting that southern cott >u
growers mint continue to reduce the
acreage of cofto'n plant'd, he has some
encouragement to offer them in the shape
of new varieties of cotton seed, He has
undertaken experiments with imported
seed to secure the production of home¬
grown co'ton, which will meet all the re¬
quirements for which Egyptian and other
cottons are now imported.
He also wants the United States to
raise its own raw silk instead of sending
$25,0 -0,000 ' year abroad for raw mate¬
rial aud think-we mi-ht save $67,000,000
a for year on imported fibers. Our exports
1890, the only year in which they
have < qu iled those of the present year,
broug t the price down a fraction under
42 cents a bu-hel at port t-bipment,
against a fraction over 55 cents per bush¬
el this year, the difference aggiegating
tn exports in the past fiscal year not less
than ten ra llion dollars.
The report is the first from the cabinet
to find w v to the president’s de-k.
Secretary Rusk throws cold water on the
raiu m -kers. The experiments are being
loyally made as congress direc’s, but the
facts in his possession do not ju-ti y the
anticipations formed by believers in this
m thod of artificial ram-making.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Devclopement iu the

Regarding the in lustiiai situation in the
Souih for 1 he past «eek, a strong feeling of
co:;li leuce is everywhere evident. Thu increas¬

SOUTH CAROLINA ASSEMBLY
Convenes in Annual Session - Election
Of Officers and Governor’s Message.
The general assembly of S mill Carolina
convened in annual session in Columbia,
Tu sdav. In the hous *, Speaker I r a B
Joues nnd all the other officers were re¬
elected, with trie exception that S. B.
Heurifoy, of E igefieid will succeed W.
B. YVelborn as reading clerk. In the
fennte, Lieutenant Governor Gary pre¬
sided and the old officeiswere re-elected.
The Tillmanites held a caucus before¬
hand to decide upon the officers.
Senator J* nkins introduced a bill to
change the system of county governments
that is likely to cause one of the princi¬
pal debates of the session. It provides
that the counties shall be subdivide! in¬
shall to townships aud that each township
have a supervisor, clerk, tax col¬
lector and road overseer, who can con¬
stitute a board of a-sessors. County
treasurers and school commissioners
shall be abolished. The day was de¬
voted to the transaction of routine
matter. Governor Tillmm’s m issage was
read in the senate. His sugge tions
against the advisability of a prohibtion
law seems to have thrown a little cold wa¬
ter on the scheme which has heretofore
Ixen regarded as certain to pass. The gov -
ernors friends say that his argument o 1
the bank cases, which formed the staple
for th** charge of incompeteney iu the
recent. iibl st.*,te canvass, is simply unanswer-
. It isgritifying to the friends of the
college to not.* in the message that the
governor does rot agiee w ith Superin¬
tendent i f E lucation Mayfield in regard
to closing t..e South Carolina college.and
that he intends to carry 1 ut h:s agree¬
ment to support it lioerally.
WATCHING THE INDIANS.
Fears Entertained that an Outbreak
Will Occur,
A telegram h s b,*en received at the
Indian Office in Washington fr* ra Agent
Waugh, of Uint&h and Urey agency in
Utah, stating t rat, in compliance with
the instruction, he sent out scouts and
runners witu orders to the Utei-’, who are
now on a hunting expedition in Colorado,
to return at once to their reservat on.
The action was rather at the request of
Governor Routt, of Colorado, who ex¬
presses his fears thit trouble would en¬
sue if the Indians are longer permitted
to run at Urge through the state,
ALLIANCE IN CONVENTION.
Annual , fiStiOIISl ^ . MOOtlDI ,, Of tho Order _ ,
in Hempltls, Tennessee.
i _
A memphis, Tenn., special says: The
first open ses ion of the Farmers’
Alliance was held Tuesday morumg.
Pie.-idont Houck, Messrs. McCune, Till¬
man, Wat dell, me rut k re of the vx cutive
board; Secretary Turner and delegates
from evety state were present. President
Loucks called the conve ition to order
and expressed bis sgrceable surprise at
large attendance. He stated that
the political harvest of 1892 had been
successful and now tha work of sowing
a greater harvest iu 1896 would be-
g* n - Hon. A. L. Nims, on behalf of
Governor J bn P Bucuauan, welcomed
the Dean, ddega.es to the state, and Furm r
ot New York, responded. He
the Alliance, more than any other
body, was wiping out Mason and Dixon’s
hue. Major Fleece, of Memphis, and
CoL ,n d Gates welcomed the guests to
*he city. Marion B itler, of North Caro-
liu’S r spend ed to these speeches, after
^hich i a committee Messrs Demiug, on credentials, con-
®' st n g 0! of Pennsylva-
D Ktm'as; j a 5 Burk' Eilingt tr, • f Mi-sissippt; of Otis, of
Bou hworth, of Colorado >n, Georgia, and
were appoiu ed.
Some difficulty was experienced in
organization which culminated in a bolt,
-and those opposed to the people’s party
captured eluded the body, held a caucus and con-
to form a new association, em-
holding bodying the doctrine of the alliance, but
nloof from politics. The Tau-
beneck faction having captured the con¬
ference, many of the delegates refu-ed to
attend the executive session. A tempo¬
rary organization was fully effected, how-
ever, and the body began to shape mat¬
ters for the issuance of a manifesto.
A correspondent of the United Press
interviewed Dr. Macuneand that gen le-
man made the following statement: “I
Withdrew from the convention hall be¬
cause the national committee of the peo¬
ple’s party are attempting to secure the
control of the alliance. They have used
foul means and have gone so far as to
make up a slate of officers. Considering
that these men were in control of the
Convention and had determined to carry
out their measures, contrary to all alli¬
ance traditions and principles, I with¬
drew fiom the hall and shall remain out
as long as such methods are beiDg used
to divert the purpose of the alliance.
The delegates who left the hall felt the
same as I did about the matter.”
The following demands were adopted
by the national iillia- ce:
FINANCE.
We demand a national currency, safe,
sound and fl- xible, issued by the govern¬
ment only, a full legal tender f«<r all
debts, public or private, and that with¬
out the use of banking corporations; just,
equitab e and efficient means of distrib¬
uting direct to the people at a tax not to
exceed — per cent., to be provided as set
forth in the sub-treasury plank of the
Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system;
also by payments in the discharge of its
obligation for public improvement.
(a) We demand the free aDd unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the legal
ratio of 16 to 1.
(b) We demand that the amount of
circtila’ing medium be increased to at
least $50 per capita, exclusive of legal
reserves.
(c) We demand a gradu -ted income
tax.
( t) That our national legislation shall
be so framed in the future as not to build
up one industry at the expense of
another.
(e) We believe that the money of the
country t*h"Uld be kept as much as pos¬
sible in the laads of the peop e. and
hence we demat d that all national and
state revenue shall be limited to the nec¬
essary expenses of the government eco¬
nomically and honestly administered.
(ft he d- maud that postal savings
banks be established by the government
for the safe deposit for the earnings of
the people aud to facilitate exchanges.
LAND.
The land, including all na'ural resour¬
ces of wealth, 13 the heritage of the peo-
ple and shou td not be monopohz d for
speculsitivr purposes, aud alien owner¬
ship ot land should »>e prohibited. All
lands now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and lands now owned by aliens
should now be reclaimed by the govern¬
ment and sold for actual s tilers only.
THANBPORTATU >N.
Transport)tion being the means of ex¬
change and a public necessity, the gov¬
ernment should own and opperate rail¬
roads in the interest of the people.
(a) Telegraph and telephone, like the
post office system, being a necessity for
the transmresion of intelligence should
be owned and opp< rated by the govern¬
ment in the interest of the people.
In the election of < fficers H. L.
Loucks, of South Dakota, was re-elected
president; Marion Butler, of North Caro¬
lina, vice presdeut; L. H. Taylor of
Nashville, secretary; Ben Terrell, of Tex¬

WILL ISSUE AN ADDRESS.
Dr. Macune is pn paring an address
which will be signed by delegates from
every southern state, and which sets
forth the position he assumes, and which
was made nec ssary by tbe action of the
convention. President Loucks repre-
Bents what is designated by many of the
deleg-tes as the political faction of the
third party ini uuder his leadership
they ttiiuk he wrll endeavor to swing the
organization, as a body, into line with
tbe leaders of the third party, and the
non -political standing of the order will
be lost.
Tin Plate Mill Burned.
The tin pla’e mill at A- dersoo, Ind.,

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATED PRESS.
A Sew Organization Formed by the
Morning Newspapers of the South
The editors of the sour hern morning
dailies who have been holding frequent

ES*SS"^S Withdrawn from that association, and
*ben organize the Southern A-sociated
Pr<ss. This is to be entirely separate

and go s into a combination with the
United Press and the W. stern Pr-ss As
sociation. The combined a-sociatioi s
make the strongest news service in the
country.
For five years the southern morning
daidea have been trying to uet the As-o-
c'ated Press, of New Y > k, to treat them
as an ass ci ition, but the older organiza¬
tion, whic • served them with telegraphic
news, would only consider them in livid-
ualiy. This new association was aided
in perfecting its organization by General
William I'erry Smith, manager of the
Western Press Associ <tion. and formerly
ooldi g the sa > e position with the Asso¬
ciated Press; Walter Phillips, general
manager of the United Press, and P. V.

WEAVER IS PLEASED.
He Issues an Address Congratulating
His Supporters.
A Des Moines, Iowa, special o-
Wednesday says: Weaver has issued an
addre s in which he congratulates bis fol¬
lowers on the splendid showing made by
the third party and sounds a note of
warniug as to what vicious legislation
may be expectid from the party in the
ascendancy. The address says:
“Unaided by money our grand young
party has made au enviable record and
achieved surprising success at the pol s.
We are but little behind the republican
party in the number of states Carried.
Not being formed on sectional lines, our
pary iu a single campaign has gained a
large aud influential following in every
state in the south* The country is to be
congratulated upon the fact that the
leaders of one of the heretofore great
parties have been abandoned and over¬
thrown by the people aud their organiza¬
tion well nigh anuinila ed. The acces¬
sion of the other p rty to power is a n sub
of violent reaction, and not, I am sure, of
the deliberate j idgment of tho American
peeople. The new admini-tr-tion will
ignore three great contentions of mod rn
time a , rela ing to land, money aud trans¬
portation, and will not attempt to solve
either. t he urgent d man 1 of the pe<>
p'e for the free coinage of silver i-i to be
disdainfully ignored and one of the most
va uable result-* ot the late civil war, that
of a uniform legal tender currency issued
by the government, is to be sacr ficeo
and abandoned and serious attempts
made to force the people to return to th
fraudulent Bystem of state hank issues.
“ Our party has not made its advent
too soon. Its mission is to restore to ou
government it» original and only legiii-
ma e fu ction and I sine rety trust that
the work of organ z.tiou and education
mi.y now be pushed with energy through
out all the stit*s. The fin d is ours and
we must occupy it without de'ay.”

Home Dressmaking.
The sensible woman, she who has the

the best of it, is learning, if she doesn’t
thoroughly understand it already, to
have her dresses made at home. There
never was a time in the history of
clothes when so much dressm king was
done at home. Women have grown

then she goes studiously to work and
plans her own wardrobe. First of ail,
she tries her hand on an inexpensive
dress, and if she mikes a su cess of it,
which she is very likeiy to do, she goes
on from one degree of perfection to
another.
Three-fourths of the difficulty about
dressmaking lies in the fact that women
do not realize what absurd figures they
cut in the clotlies they wear. Once let
the full conciousness of this dawn on
them, and the work is done; for never
aft rwards will they c nsent to look
ridiculous, or what is even worse com¬
monplace, while harmony, symmetry
and beauty can be had by working for
it; for wh oever her follies and vanities
may be, the American woman isn’t lazy,
especially adornment.—New when it. comes t<> matters of

What a Wise Mother Can Do.
A wise mother can take teu minutes
every day and read to her children a few
words on astronomy, geology or physiol¬
ogy. Not dry statistics, which carry no
knowledge to the little minds, but the
names of planets and stars, their places
and the mythological story connected
with them; stories of the strata of rocks,
with coal and other minerals buried be¬
neath clay and stones; how the hot wa-
ters and the cold are deep down under
us, and waiting di-covers for man until he needs t l em
their hiding places; stories
of our own bones and nerves, muscles
and blood; the cour-e of our food from
the mouth to the stomach; how fresh air
invigorates us, and stimulants dry up
the tissues. It is astonishing bow easily
little children learn the long words ard
use them intelligently AU these sub-
jecs and a hundred more are brought
before them every day in a rightly con¬
ducted kindergarten.—Home Journal.

“I want our engagement broken, It
