Wiklk, Mayor. * WHITNEY A FAVORITE But Carlisle and Morrison are Talked of For PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION By the Democratic Party Next Year—Marten Shuts oil the Seed and Kicks on the Horse Book. [From our Regular Correspondent.! Washington, Sept. 6, ’9a. Who will be the democratic can didate next year? That question ifi asked of every prominent demo crat who comes to Washington these days, for the talk of nominat ing President Cleveland for a third term is considered meaningless by most democrat*. The three men who are oftenest named for that honor sure ex-Secretary Whitney, of New York, Secretary Carlisle, of Kentucky, and Hon. William R. Morrison, of 111., either of whom would make a good candidate and a good president. Other gentle men are named, but those three are named ofteneatand many name them all and say that one of the three will be nominated. Repres entative Tucker, of Virginia, who was in Washington this week, named two of them in expreasing hi* opinion. He said: “We are going to nominate one of the two men for the presidency. It will be either Carlisle or Morrison. The silver men will probably oppose Carlisle more determinedly than they would Morrison. He will be stronger in the east, however, and the fact that he is a southern man will be enough to give him the sentiment of that section. I sup pose the west will be more favor able to Morrison and that the sil ver men would be better satisfied witli him ” Secretary Morton has not a very high opinion of the business sense displayed in some of the legislation of the last congress, as he has shown by his refusal to spend $168,000 appropriated to buy seeds for free distribution. He this week cited another instance of bad busi ness legislation. Congress author ized anew edition of vvlmt in popu larly known as the “Horse Book.” These books will cost the govern ment about 60 cents each, and Sec retary Morton says the samequant ity could have been bought from the dealers in government publica tions, who buy largely from con gressmen, for 40 cents each. Sec retary Morton is not alone in think ing such legislation unbusinesslike. The democratic congressional committee does not as a rule take any part in strictly state campaigns, hut the campaign in Utah, which will send two United States sena tors and one representative to con gress, has been made an exception, and the committee has been aiding the Utah democrats in every way possible. In view of the vote at the last territorial election—re publican 21,000, democrat 10,000, and populist 500—neither party has any reason to feel over confident of the result ot the present campaign. The only thing absolutely certain about Utah is that its congressional delegation will be solid for silver, and that one of the new senators will be a Gentile and one a Mor mon. The congressional delega tion will be for silver because it would be impossible for either party to elect any other, and the leaders of both parties have agreed about the senators. Secretary Herbert has given Ad miral Kirkland a sharp official re primand for a bit of flunkeyisni which he was guilty of during the celebration attending the opening of the North Sea and Baltic Canal. When the .Admiral, his staff, and the officers of the cruiser New York were all drawn up on the bridge of that vessel to receive a visit from Emperor William Ad miral Kirkland noticed that Rev. H. H. Clark, chaplain of the New \ork, wore his ordinary clerical garments. He directed Capt. Evans (“Fighting Bob”), commander of the New York, to order the chap lain to go below because he was not iu special full dress uniform. Capt. Evans demurred, on the ground that the chaplain had on the only dress provided for him by : the naval regulations, and that be ing an officer he was entitled to the right of remaining on the bridge. I Admiral Kirkland thereupon gave \ Capt. Evans a peremptory order to send the chaplain below and, of ■v ... ! course, Capt. Evans was obliged W obey his superior officer. Chaplain Clark made a complaint to the de partment, forwarding a full state ment of the affair, accompanied by one from Capt. Evans, and Admiral Kirkland also made v a statement. Gen. Coppinger, wh© is now in Washington, says that neither the Wyoming settlers nor the Bannock Indians were to blame for the Jackson Hole Indian troubles, but Exhausted Soils are made to produce larger and better crops by the use of Fertilizers rich in Potash.

A Noble Ex-Confederate. (New York Press.) I would be the last man in the world to make fun at the expense of any good man. The other day in this column a joke was publish ed about Charles Broadway llouss, the big notions man. Since then I have learned that he has become almost totally blind, a fact brought to my attention by Col. Dickinson, commander of the confederate vete, ran camp in this city. Mr. Rouss - has been one of the most liberal southerners in the city of New York. He will expend at least $1,000,000 on the depository for the confederate relics, in construction and endowment. Last year lie gave away in charity alone over $65,000. There never was it worthy appeal made to him that he did not respond to it in handsome style. He has always said to his old friend, Col. Dickinson, “If there is any old confederate around here suffering, tell me how much you want. Don’t say anything about me, but. draw on me for the cash.” Mr. Rouss comes from Winchester Ya., and was in the same company as the English professor and Pos master-General William L. Wilson. The confederate veteran camp on •SiKiu-ay -Light r'vto, , _ntb>:v of condolence and sympathy. Mr. Rouss, who has been tireless and indefatigable for twenty years, is today so blind that he cannot re cognize his dearest friends. He has to be led about. Rut he goes to business every day and never for gets to ask: “Does anybody need anything this morning? Are there any letters from the old veterans j who fought for the south ?” i What is a Day’s Plow mg. While cutting a furrow nine inches wide the plowman walks just about eleven miles while he is turning over an acre —that is, with out reckoning the journey from the stable to the field and back again. It is one of the advantages of long fields that the time occupied in turning at the ends is so much less than on shorter stretches and the smaller fields. In plowing an acre 352 yards long, cutting a nine-inch furrow, the man goes twenty-seven and one-half times round, and turns on the headland fifty-five times. If we allow one minute for turning, the time thus occupied is equal to fifty-five minutes, or say an hour’s work—the hardest of the day, too. This would he in a pad dock or field of average length, being 16 chains long. When a fieid is eight chains, 179 yards long, the number of turnings is doubled, and the amount of hard work and time absorbed is one hour and fifty min utes. In a field five and three-quar ter chains long—ll 7 yards— a not unusual length, the plowman turns 165 times in order to cut through an acre with nine-inch furrow; and allowing a minute for each turning, two and three-quarter hours are oc cupied in that operation. The plow pace to do good, steady work varies from one and one-half to tvro miles per hour. Applying these figures to the eleven miles walked in plowing tin acre, at the rate of one and one-half miles an hour, takes seven and one-eighth hours. With a ten-inch furrow, there is one mile less of walking, which may be computed as half an hour to three quarters, according to the estimate of traveling pace. With a ten-inch furrow on light land, where the furrows are 352 yards long, from six to seven hours are occupied per acre, at the ordi nary pace of two miles per hour, i bus, in short fields a great amount of extra work becomes necessary, and time is lost in turning. So an acre may require eight r nine hours. Plows cutting a double fur row, or three, or four, or more fur rows at the same time, may be es timated on the same lines.

HE KILLED TECUMSEH And Afterwards Presided Over the Senate of the United States. COL- RICHARD M JOHNSON, Who Fought With Crockett, Houston, Harri son and Jackson, Fired the Shot That Laid Out the Old Chief. The senate chamber in Washing ton is about to be decorated with the bust of one of the most able and popular men who have presided over that body, Richard M. John son, of Kentucky, who was vice president of the United States dur ing the presidency of Martin Van Buren. Richard M. Johnson was one of those early statesmen who fought their way to popularity in the for ests of the new world. Like Jack son, Harrison, Sam Houston, Davy Crockett and others who were fa miliar figures in public life during that era, Colonel Jackson had smelt gunpowder on the frontier, and he knew well the ring of the savages’ war whoops. Johnson’s most famous exploit was during the war of 1812. As Garfield did many years later, the bold Kentuckian resigned a seat in congress in order to take the field. He was in command of a regiment under William Henry Harrison, and in the battle of the Thames, October 5, 1813, it is believed that Johnson slew with his own hand the famous and hitherto uueonquer ed chief, Tecumseh. In this battle the British and the Indians were combined. The En glish forces were posted between the river and the marsh while the Indians were on a high ground in the swampy land. Colonel Johnson ordered his men forward, and the English let them get within a few yards before the command to fire was given. A desperate battle took place, the Americans being victo rious. Tecumseh was found on the field dead, and it was asserted that Johnson was the one who shot him, as he was killed by a man on horse back, and Johnson was the only one mounted, his command being infantry. It was also known that Johnson had been engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with one of the most desperate of the chiefs who answered to the description of Te cumseh. Johnson himself was very badly wounded. When Colonel Johnson returned to congress he was still too sick to walk, and was received with a tri umphal procession and a joint reso lution of thanks was passed by both houses of congress. What the South Can Do. (North American Review.) It is evident that the south has at hand, and therefore cheap, all the raw materials entering into manufactures; that its labor and cost of living are cheaper than at the north; that it can, in conse quence, manufacture goods of all kinds at less cost than the north or the west; that it cannot only sup ply the home demand, but also ex port goods with profit; that in the finer lines of manufactures it is ex tending its operations with success. With all these advantages on its side the fault will be with the south if it fails to reach out its hands and take what nature has so kindly of fered. The U. S.
