THE COTTON CROP.
From every part of the country comes |
the report of great damage to the cotton ,
crop by too much rain, rust and cater- j
pillars.
It is the same old cry, and the aston- j
ishing feature is that the south does;
! not get used to this state of affairs, for !
j year by year the same story goes out.
! The crop is boomed all .June and .July.

The success of the cotton crop is never
a certainty, and nothing can safely be
counted on until the trying month of
August is weathered through, aud even
though there be an overwhelming crop
up to that time September and Oc f <»ber
rains may greatly damage the staple; so
really the crop is not in any way safe
until it is picked and housed.
There is no crop liable tons many dis
aster in its course of maturing as the
cotton crop of the South, and some way
to regulate prices so as the farmers can
come in on the home stretch is a subject
open for discussion.

Lave a fighting chance, aud will work it

Eight new cases of typhoid fever,
said to be due to the uso of impure well
water, have been reported in Newark
since Saturday. The polluted condition
of the Passaic river has driven most of
the people of Jersey City and Newark to
use well or spring water.
Reports from Chili state that Balma-
ceda aud the government forces have
been overthrown and the congressional
party are in possession of the capital
and are decidedly on top. The effect
will bo a reorganization of the govern
ment, with a new president and one
nearer to the people than the Balmaceda
crowd.
A physician in Australia declares
that he has found a remedy for snake
bites that never fails, and that is a hypo
dermic injection of the nitrate of strych
nine. This is a very good cure, no
doubt, but it will never tike the place of
the old time remedy of one quart of rye
administered in quick doses straight out
of the bottle.
The cottou planters of the lower Mis
sissippi valley have been holding meet-
lugs and pledging themselves not to jay
moro than 10 or 50 cents a hundred
pounds for picking cotton. There in
expected to bo a vigorous opposition on
the part of tlm nickers, and the planters
may bo forced to pay the wages they de
mand or see their cotton go to waste.
There is reason to fear that the
emancipation of the negroes in Brazil
will result as disastrously as it has in
Hayti and Jamaica. Agricultural and
domestic labor is said to be completely
demoralized. It is very difficult to ob
tain Held labor or house sorvants. The
ex-slaves think that freedom means
freedom from toil, and they rofuse to
work fov love or money.
The latest attempt at transplanting
tho Southern negroes is that of the
Langston Colonization Society, which is
said to have 850 agents in the South
seeking for negroes to colonize the Okla
homa Indian lauds, which are soon to
be thrown open for settlement. Possi
bly the struggle for existence in that
land of droughts and blizzards may have
a tendency to elevate the race.
The Delaware peach growers are pe
culiarly unfortunate. In 1SS9 and 1S90
there was such a falling oil in the peach
crop that the basket manufacturers sus
pended business to a large extent. Tids
year there is a large crop, but it is im
possible to obtain nearly enough baskets.
The price of baskets has risen from ^ ...

3 to 5 cents, while the price of peaches . ,
h unusually low. As a consiquenco I raeeti,,g at St Paul Sa,Ur ‘ la * for tho

Telegraphic advices announcing the ; by the Democrats will support S M.
death of ex-Senator Pomeroy of Kansas j Owens, the Alliance candidate for Gov-
bring to mind that be was one of the j ernor, and in return will be given tho
first settlers of Kansas, and also recall a j United States Senator, it is claimed
somewhat interesting correspondence j that the Alliance and the Democrats are
between the Senator and the equally j in close touch, and that the latter have
noted Editor “Brick” Pomeroy, in which ! no objection to casting their votes for
tho latter asked the Senator by way of ; Owens, the farmers’ candidate, as ho is
of cotton seed has increased with the de
cline in value of the lint.
The lintless cotton originated with
Mr. H. T. Ferguson, of Spartanburg, S.
C. A few days ago he exhibited in that
town a stalk loaded with bolls, all filled
with large,. plump seed, and nothing
else. Ho claims that he has perfected
the variety, and that he will have seed
enough this year to plant the entire
State.
Before the uses of cotton seed became
known a lintless rariety would have
been regarded merely as a curiosity,
and the idea of growing it for profit
would have been ridiculed. Whether or
not it will pay to grow it now is a ques
tion that can be decided only after trial.
If It does pay the people will not be
surprised, for, as the News and Courier
says:
These are record-breaking times, atd the
cottou pluut is as full of surprises as a mou-
k®y. A hundred years ago there was some
doubt al>out whethercotton could be grown
lu this country. This year there Is consider
able doubt whether we can stop its growing.
Twenty years ago the seed, were regarded as
a nuisance. Now th-y are wortli more than
t he corn crop, hay crop, wheat crop and hog
crop all combined. Ten years from now the
lint may be u nuisance, and indeed, it Is next
thing to Lbnt now,
A special advantage claimed for this
variety is that it yields about one third
more oil than ordinary cotton seed
The bolls are filled with seeds like that
of sea islard cotton. They need to be
gathered as soon as they begiu to crack,
else the seed will fall out. The esti
mated yield is four hundred bushels to
the acie.
AS TO SILVER COINAGE.
When doctors disagree, who shall de
cide ?
It Is remarkable liow the doctors of
the body politic disagreo on the silver
question. The boldest statements aro
made by those who ought to know, yet
these statorficnts often show the grossest
ignorance. Even such an intelligent
paper as Tho New York Evening Post
falls into a palpable error. It says:
“The silvor men boldly demand that the
government shall not only buy all the
product of their mines, but shall buy it
above it* market value ?”
If the free coinage act is passed, the
government will not buy the silver at all
—It will simply coin It, and return It to
the owner in silver dollars. Tho owner
of silver bullion will take it to the gov
ernment mint, just as a farmer takes his
corn to mili, and have it coined just as
corn is ground to meal. The govern
ment will charge a small sum for mint
age, or “seignorage,” as the miller
charges toll. Tho silver men simply de
mand that the government shall extend
the same courtesy to silver that it does
to gold.
