lNDiANAroi,is, Dec. 22.—Since cx-Pres-

man, and that they talked over the situ
ation in Ohio. Haves lias never been a
strong Blaine man, but is closely allied
to the Buckeye senator, and it might be
taken lor granted that ho lost no oppor
tunity of putting in a good word for his
friend. Whether that was neceasnry, of
course, .cannot be said. Here those gen
tlemen who are in position to know best
have all along expre ssed the opinion that
Sherman, and not Blaine, would fce the
next Premier. Uen. Harrison himself
;,a3 probably a more kindly feeling for
Elaine than auy of his friends. This
might trouble the smooth saiiiag of Sher
man, and, no uoubt will, and would be
in liaiwony with the belief of some that,
notwithstanding the strong feeling for
Sherman among General Harrison’*
friends, Blaine will yet be the man. The
matter has been very freely discussed
to day, owing largely, perhaps, to the
numerous visits of Ohio men yesterday
to Gen. Harrison and the statement by
ex-Governor Porter. It,has brought out
the information al-o that the strongest

THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.
ENA GEORGIA DECEMBER
BY DR. W. L. JONES, DIRECTOR.
What is an Agricultural Experiment
Station? It is not, ss many suppose, an
institution like a college, whero youths
are taught. It is not.at all educational,
in the ordinary acceptation of that term,
It’s object is investigation, and research,
looking to the discovery of new truths
for the benefit of agriculture; and this
end it proposes to accomplish by bring
ing science to bear on the methods,
operations and results of agriculture.
The knowledge thus gained it proposes
to diffuse among the farmers of the
country by th9 publication, and distri
bution without cost, of bulletins and
.reports. The Experiment Station,there-
fore, is an institution for tbe benefit of
farmers, for the aid of those directly
and actively engaged in rural pursuits.
Why then, it may be asked, should an
Experiment Station be connected with a
college. It is not essential that there
should be such connection. There are
stations established remote from and
entirely independent of colleges—such
is the New York station at Genevia, and
many of like character are to be found in
Europe. But in tbe United Statea the
two are usually associated together be
cause in 18G2 Congress made liberal ap
propriation for tbe establishment of
agricultural colleges in the Statea,provid-
ing for the education of young men in
the sciences relating to agriculture and
the mechanic arts. This waq, done, be
cause the prevailing* institutions of
learning prepared young men for the
professions of law and theology, and to
a less degree of mediciue, and most of
their graduates drifted into these pursuits.
The equilibrium between the various
avocations of life were thus disturbed
and the so called learned professions be
came excessively crowded. To counter
act this and bring about a more natural
order oi things, these agricultural col
leges were fashioned to prepare young
men more directly! or industrial pursuits,
with the hope that they would drift in
the direction of these, and thus restore
the social economy to its normal con
dition. This step having been taken,
when the question arose of promoting

eoutaty, and Brown county is full of
white caps. The Chronicle recently in
its allusion to the night riders, has not
used complimentary language. It is
thought they want revenge, and have,
therefore, crossed into Kentucky for the
purpose of securing it. All the employees
of tne Chronicle have armed themselves,
and say they cannot be driyen from Au

No Occasion for Alarm.
BOCKFORD.'III., Deo. 22.—At a special
meeting of the city council, a resolution
was parsed expressing the belief that the
whim cap business was a complete hoax,
done to alarm Alderman Holmes. He
opposed the resolution l itteriy. insisting
th?vt the liquor men intended to do h m
injury. By a vote of 9 to 4 tbe council
requested Blnisdell to reconsider his &h-
tonuinatipia to resign, and expressed a
belief that ho was innocent of participa-
tiJh in the whits cap affair, charged by
Alderman Holmes. BlaisdeU will begin
•ait for slander against Holmes.
Ona Fact!
Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. It i.i a fact,
established bribe testimony of thous
ands of people, 'hat Hood's Sarsaparilla
does cure scrofula, salt rheum, ajtd
other diseases or affections arising from
impure state or low condition of the
blood. It also overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates a good appetite, and gives
strength to every part of the system.
Try it;
great many politic:
to understand that ha was no: going tc - ...
bo hasty in making removal* from of- industrial interests still further, by tne
" “ establishment tf Experiment Stations, it
seemed natural and proper that those
who were fitted to teach the -sciences
relating to agriculture, should be placed
in charge of said stations, la the next
place in order to do tbe work of the
stations certain appliances are necessity.
Laboratories, apparatus, instruments
&c., are needed, and as these in greater
or less amounts were already it possess
ion of tbe agricultural colleges, it was
sound economy to uso tneui in this new
work,instead of incurring the expense of
soperate and inpependont equipments.
For such considerations,the Experiment
Stations established by Congress under
tbe Hatch act, were made “departments”
of tbe A. and M. Colleges. The college
and the station were to be parts of a
common whole, which was to promote
the sciences relating .to agriculture, the
other l»r improving tbe methods and
results of agriculture by bring ng
sci< nee to bear directly on them.
The great instrument of modern re
search is experiment. Whilst all know
ledge, scientific or other, rests primarily
upon cons Piousness, it is unquestionable
that observation and experience are the
channels threagh which .most of it is
obtained. New experiment is only a
modified form of experience. Experience
is knowledge gained frouj trials, made
without special plan or purpose. On the
other hand experiments are arranged
with a definite purpose. A question is
asked and an experiment ia devised to
answer it. Everything which may mislead
or complicate, is eliminated;the condi
tions under which the trial is to be made
are regelated and fixed, and the issue is
narrowed down,as nearly as practicable,
to the answering of this question asked.
It will be seen *i a glance,that the march
of progress and discovery will be much
more rapid through tbe aid of experiment,
than through that of experience alone.
But to plan experiments properly, re
quires an extended knowledge of scierce.
Without sucb knowledge, one might
make a successful experiment, but it
would be striking in the dark, with the
chances largely in favor of missing the
mark. Experiments guided by science
and its results interpreted by science
is then tbe agent of discovery, and be
cause these are the means of investiga
tion employed at the stations under
consideration, they are called “Experi
ment Stations.’’
The Georgia Agricultural Experiment
Station has, through the liberal ap
propriation of CongrefB, been vyry
thoroughly equipped for experimental
work. It is probably unsurpassed in
this respect.A splendid set of sen record
ing meteorological instruments,for study
ing the relations of temperature
and moisture, ef both
sir and soil, to plant life, has been secur
ed—chemical laboratories with the most
approved modem appliances have been
fitted up.A biological laboratory has beea
arranged and supplied with necessary
fixtures fi-r tbe culture of para6itie fungi
hat produce plant diseases, and of nox
ious insects,tbat their habits may become
known an:l attacks made upon them at
their weakest pionts. Microscopes of
finest quality and highest power form a
part of this equipiment. A commodious
plant bouse has been bnilt, to be heated
by steam, so that plants be grown at all
seasons and axp riments touching vegeta
ble, physiology and pathology be conduc
ted through the whole year, without
waiting upon seasons. A dairy has been
built after most improved plsns-its walls
made non-conducting by air charobers,to
secure uniformity of temperature, and
provided with a large ventilated • ry well
to insure coolness summer. A farm of
some sixty acres, with garden, orchard
and vineyard, supplies ample field tor
experiment of all kinds. As tbe funds
expended for this equipment were not
received till June last, little has been
done as yet, beyond organization and
preparation for work. These however
are about completed—several lines of in
vestigation have been mapped out and
the first steps in them taken. Progress
will be as rapid as is consistent w ith
good work.—University Reporter.

A bill lias been drawh up by a prominent

for introduction as soou as that body

berth, when vacant, must bo closed to

of the porter is fixed at $2.30 a day, in
stead of $1.25 a week, the former rate.
It makes it a misdemeanor for the por
