no distinct significance. It is ap

of politicians to anybody who dif

name of reproneb. Every politi

the name is usually applied to say
that, aside from political matters,
they aro mnch like our people, or
like tho best people .in our North

baseness, cruelty, or injustice to

bling very»closely tlio foremost
men in our New England towns in
all the important elements of per
sonal character; differing only, in
general, in being more communica

is usually among New Englanders.
As to their political action,it seems
to me to have been for some years
largely inevitable; tlie necessary
product and result of the peculiar
conditions of life nnd society in tlie
South since civil war. It does not
appear to have been owing to sheer
depravity on their part, nor to any
choice or agency of theirs, Hint
there was for some years a disturb-

address itself to their solution.
In studying the Bourbons I have
been forced to conclude that noth

much better than the domestic life
of this clas* of the Southern people,
in its intelligence, refinement, benu-

The Value of tlio Cotton Need Crop.
From tha Balt Inn** Hun.
The cotton boll, as brought in
from tlie field, is one-tliird lint nnd
two-thirds seed. For every hale
of cotton weighing 500 pounds
sent to market, 1,000 thousand
jiounds of seed were formerly left
around tlie "gin house to rot, or nt
best to be hauled out over tho plan
tation as a fertilizer. Ten yeais
ago other use for it was scarcely
dreamed of. Now it is known to
contain a large number of valuablo
constituents, and new develop
ments of utility are constantly be
ing brought to light. A corres
pondent of the Sun shows that in
tlio last two years over fifty mills
have sprung lip for the manufac
ture of the seed into the various I to take such vast periods up into'

effect of the new industry lias been
an advance in the price of cotton
seed within the year past from six
to twelve dollars a ton. This
means, of course, for cacli hale of
cotton nil additional profit to the
planter of six dollars. From the
1,000 pounds of seed, costing six
dollars, the manufacturer gets
about ITjj gallons of oil, worth to
day forty cents a gallon, while the
residuum cake is considered more
vahinhlo ns n fertilizer than the
seed from which it is made, and
sells for as much as the seed costs.
