From the tone, of some of the lead ing Republican papers, it is doubtful whether President Harrison will cull an extra session of the Fifty-first Con gress. We incline to the opinion that President Harrison will be influenced by political considerations, and unless he and the leaders of his party can see a prospect of adding some strength to tne Republican party by an extra session he will not call one. The Constitution says: Mr. Lee Jor dan on yesterday purchased the two lots on Peachtree street this side of Mr. Culpeper’s residence.

Special Correspondence of The Atlanta Journal. Sandusky, Ohio, September 9.— Leaving Wellington Saturday even ing we reached Cleveland safely about It p. m. Through the fore sight and good management of Major Glessner our party were quartered at the Stillman house, where every at tention that could add to our comfort was shown us. Early Sunday morfi- ing Mayor Gardner called and tender ed the excursionists a sail on the lake in his yaoht. Quite a goodly number embraced this opportunity to have a trip on water; those remaining in Cleveland attended the various churches. In the afternoon the whole party enjoyed a oarriage drive to Wade park and Lakeriew cemetery. The Garfield memorial is looated in this cemetery and is certainly a magnifi cent monument to the distinguished son of Ohio. The memorial has al ready cost about $150,000, and is yet incomplete. The location is on a high ridge about 100 feet above tlie waters of Lake Erie, and about three miles therefrom. Its height is 180 feet from the roadway to the orest.

PoutLK, Pennsylvania Democrats are striking for tariff reform, and for reform in every possible respect. They are holding firmly to the polioy suggested by Mr. Cleveland in his messages. In deed, they favor reforyis in evpry pos sible respect. They declare that there shall be no centralization of power in the Federal Government; no infringe ment of personal liberty; no discriin- nation against labor, no trusts. They favor ballot reform, a liberal system of pensions but oppose adding any names to the list who are not qualifi ed therefor, by reason of honorable and faithful service in the lines of du ty. These views, and others, equally good, are favored by the Democracy wherever they have taken action on political and industrial matters.

LAW It. is expected that our Legislative authorities, who are clothed with temporary authority, will as good and faithful representatives, be obedient to the constitution and laws. A man, who is disregarded of them, will not and cannot expect to eDjoy the confi dence of his constituents. We have re spected Messrs. Hull and Patterson as citizens and lepresentatives of a high- toned and patriots constituency but they cannot be justified in their fla grant disregard of the laws on the subject of duelling. We have a high regard for both as intelligent and able representatives of a very eulight- eil constituency, but we can find no justification for their open aud fla grant disregard of their obligations to law and duty iu their recent effort to resort to the code duello in viola tion of the constitution aud laws of tiie state which they represent. We are glad that the difficulty is settled for their own sakes and a due regard to the obligations they are under to the State which in part they repre sent. The Sparta Ishmaelite says: “It is the duty of members of the Legislature to set the people a good example in the matter of obedience to the laws of the State. In the send ing and uccepting of a challango to light a duel, Legislators Huff and Patterson have set an example of de fiance of the laws. Paragraph 2, sec tion 4, article 2 of the constitution is in these words: “No person who, af ter tiie adoption of this constitution, being a resident of this State, shall have been convicted of fighting a duel in this State, or convicted of sending a challenge, or convicted of aiding, ^or abeting such duel shall he hold office in tills State, unless shall have been pardoned; and eve ry such person shall also, be sub ject to such punishment as may be prescribed by law.” the terrace or the ground below. This frieze divided into five panels, containing bas-reliefs which represent the career of Garfield. An admit tance fee of ten cents is charged, and we were Informed that no less than 2,300 persons visited the memorial the Sunday previous to our trip there. The money will go towards the com pletion of the memorial as well as keeping In repair and attending to the building. The remains of the dead president still repose in a vault near by, besides those of his mother, where they are viewed by thousands of visitors. Our drive was along Eu clid avenue, and without doubts un surpassed by any street in the coun try for’its splendid private homes and their beautiful surroundings. Lovely lawns Well kept, ornament al shrubbery selected with care and taste all contribute towards making this street a model of beauty and cultivated faste. Monday morning the excursion was again taken in charge by the city au thorities and visited the life saving station, city hall and other points of interest. Leaving Cleveland with pleasing recollections of a Sunday spent full of enjoyment and profit, our party reached Sandusky about 1 p. m. Here carriages were in waiting ready to carry ug to the handsome little steamboat R. B. Hayes. This was our first boat ride and was a pleasant oliange enjoyed by all. The ride was a short one, for thirty min utes landed us at Cedar Point, where a splendid dinner already prepared awaited us. The Lake Erie Fruit and wine growers association held a meeting while we were 1 here, and some fine specimens of grapes, peaches, plums, etc., were exhibited. Those interest ed lu wine making were also exhibi tors, and your excursionists were kindly permitted to sample the latter. As the majority of our party “drank no wine,” it developed upon a few to taste this exhilarating beverage. It was a hard task and one full of many dangers and trying in the extreme. But we are happy to say the farmers and press both did the work thoroughly. “Spirited” ad dresses were made on both 1 sides— Ohio welcoming, Georgia gracefully accepting this generous hospitali ty. As we have just completed our fiist week of obsevation', it was deemed appropriate to address to the farmers the following questions which were promptly responded to. We trust the readers of The Journal will not only he interested in these replies, but will discover iu them pointers that may lead to profitable lessons, disclosing, too, the fact that our farmers’ exoursion is not a junket ing party merely, hut an observing, wide-awaks body of typical farmers, who will retleot credit on th* great state they represent.- Qusbtion 1.—Express to me iu a word ths most helpful thing you would suggest to Georgia farmeis as the result of our trip thus far, and give me the reason for your selec tion. Qbbtion 2.— Now, express the sec ond in importance, with your rea sons. Mnjor W. L. Glessuer, of Ainericus, said: * 1. Immigration.—It would enable the farmer to dispose of his surplus land and apply the proceeds to the improvement of a fair sized farm. It would introduce new methods of furming and enlarge the diversifica tion of crops. It would give them better society, schools and ohurohes, and thus prevent the necessity and tendeuoy to remove to tho towns for the purpose of enjoying the advan tagea of schools and sooiety. 2. Grass.—Without it Ohio would be bankrupt. The hay orop of the United States is of more value than the cotton crop. Beef, butter and cheese, all come from grass. Grass rests and rejuvenates the land and fits it for other crops. Grass is the best friend of the farmer when intel ligently used.” Colonel M. C. Fulton, of McDuffie county, said: 1. “I would say the first and most important thing for Georgia farmers to do is to improve their lands. My reason for this is that there can be no suoeessful farming without it. If you will allow me, the best way to improve our Georgia lands is to de vote more of them to grass and stock raislng—rely more upon home made manure and less upon oommeroial fertilizers.” 2. “The second best thing for Geor gia farmers to do is to adopt the in tensive system of-farming. My rea son for this is that it will give better results for the capital and labor in vested.” Hon. W. J. Nortbeu, president of the state agricultural society, said: 1. “Grass. I am sure the cultiva tion of grass means more for Georgia than any other one thing I have yet seen. We can avail ourselves of every advantage of an Ohio farmer in this particular, and thgn have the advantage of longer summers and milder winters. Grass is the basis of fine cattle, line hogs and fine horses. These all make manure. Yes, sir, the starting point for Georgia is grass. 2. “Machinery. Georgia farmers speDd too much time, too much phy sical force, to produce their crops We need machines to save labor, re dune the expense of production and the convenience of handing our crops. We need to do with maoliines what we have been doing by hand power. As far as possible we should use farm machinery nnd reduce cost.” W. H. Perkinson, of Woodstock, Ga., said: 1. “More grass means more and cheaper stock; more manure means richer and greater production, great er profits. 2. Economy and systematic effort characterize the northwestern farm, er, which is essential to success in every vocation of life; thorough prep aration and perfect oulture, which largely overcome heat and drought." Robert A. Nlsbet, of Maeou, said: 1. “¥y observation here has very much impressed on me tb*e fact that our farmers do not work enough themselves. Here the farmer, his wife and children, each has a part to do, and does it. With the same personal attention and personal labor we can make more money farming in Georgia than in Ohio. They throw away nothing here on ‘help.” 3. “To economy in labor aud their perfect system—their saviug of overy thing that can be put bank on tiie soil to enrich it. Iu other words, the secret of success iu farming in Ohio is the same in Georgia—industry and economy.” Capt. R. J. Redding, superintendent experimental farm, said: 1. “If confined to one word I would say energy. The farmers of Ohio succeed only by the most persevering industry and the closest economy. Every man, woman and child works early and late and—faithfully." 3. “Grass and small grain. There are no gullies or washed-away lands in Ohio, although much of the surfaoe is as broken as any part of Georgia. Aooordlng to my observation the farmers of Ohio are no more skillful or Intelligent than the farmers of Georgia; hut they have always de pended on themselves and their own efforts, and not upon some other state, for their supplies.” Mr. J, O. Waddell, of Polk county, said: • 1. “The absolute necessity of estab lishing small manufacturing indus tries, better care of stock, improved stock, energy, and economy. With a proper observance of .these, any Georgia farmer cau make two dollars where an Ohio farmer makes one. Our seasons are more propitious, our soil fully ns good, our climate and wa ter greatly superior. 2. “Tho Ohio trip has only inten sified my love for Georgia and its peo ple.” Mr. J. T. Williams, of Blountsvllle, said: 1. ‘‘We need more barnyard ma nure, intensive farming and econo my; 3. “More men of energy and experi ence to utilize our vast farms on the intensive system." Mr. W. R. Gorman, of Geneva, said: 1. “If the Georgia farmers would give as much attention to farm econo my as these people do, the results would be quite different from what they are. Every operation here is under the supervision of tho farmer. He uses a tool well adapted to the purpose. They are well oared for and kept in good order. His stock are in good condition and kept so by a system of management anil feeding unknown in Georgia. The crop is planted, cultivated and harvested witif labor saving implements. Ifour peo ple would try the methods that pre vail here and adopt them whenever practicable to their system of crop ping the genernl condition would be much improved. The tliso harrow is in common use here for breaking sandy lands. If adopted in our seotion it will effect a revolution in farming on that kind of land. It does the work better than it oan be done with the plow that we ordinarily use, and at less than one- third the cost. I regard it as the best labor-saving implement for us thpt I have seen here. In this connection it is important to state that commercial fertilizers are but little used here. Good bam yard manure is the artiole relied up ou. Mr. T. E. Blaoksliear, of Thomas- ville, said: 1. “The one thing most noticeable in the north Is eoonomy. Tho farmers are no doubt industrious, but they excel tn saving anil putting to use everything they handle. 2. The next thing noticeable is that the farmers have small farms and in tensify their system of farming by the use of large quantities of barnyard manure, inodo on every farm from stock. Grass and .clover and grain are the chief crops and nearly all fed to stock and a large proportion •turn ed buck to the land in the way of ma nure." Mr. J. It. Cooper of Ogeechee, said’: 1. “Grass.—It seems to be univer sal, and ho success without it. 2. “Stock.—We want it to feed the grass to and to make manure,” Mr. James Barrett, of Richmond county, said: 1. “Concentration of our efforts aud less diffusion lu our labors. 2. “Doing our own labor as much os possible, and better care of our stock and implements." Hon, Felix Corput, president of the Farmers’ Alliance exchange, said: 1. “Thrift and Economy.—The living on the farm in Ohio does not cost as much in cash as is usually wasted by tbe average Georgia farm er. Every person on the farm is producer. Drones are an unknown quantity. This object lesson, in my opinion, Is worth more to.the farming interests of Georgia than any other I have seen. While the Georgia lands are fully equal, mode of cultivation just as good, climate much better, we do not live within ourselves or within our income, which is always done here." 2. Thb Diversity and Rotation of Crops.—The land being rested, and shaded by the sowing down of ‘ grasses and clover, and at all time*: in condition to be profitably cultiva ted, corn, wheat, barley and oats being only produced about every third year, the lands are not exhan* ted, and although not naturally strong always bring fair results, the- grasses being fed to cattle or returned! to the land, and an exhausted field i* rarely if ever found. Mr. C. L. Moses said: “More grass, more stock, more ma- ure. Tiiis leads to intensive culture. Next—economy.” Mr. G. 8, Rountree, of Sivainsboro said: 1. My opinion is, we need mor©-- throughpreparation, more work, more • attention to stock and especially to grass. 2. Last, but not the least, when jrake up in the morning roll out of. bed Jnstoad of rolling over.” a Mr. J. L. Anderson, of Hawkin*- ville, said: 1. The most helpful thing to onr- farmers will be to diversify our farm — ing as do the Ohio farmers. I ob serve that they produce in addition their regular or standard orepeoftvn grain and grasses what we wHIloall.A the lesser crops, sueh .as Irish pota toes, carrots beets, turnips, onion*,. . etc., anil intelligently market the- same, thereby having a constant in- I come. It strikes me that we oan do likewise. Besides grain and oottara we oan produce and should market: all their lesser crops and many things^ their climate wont ma'lure. - 2. I won’t concede that any sec tion can show a more indus'triou* class of farmers than ours; but it * strikes me that our great need is tbato tills industry should be intelligently direoteil and made profitable. Mr. J. B. James, of Fort Valley,., said: ^ “More grass, more home-made ran— ure, more stock and grain, iiite'ii- gent cultivation and rigid economy- will make Georgia richer thau'Ohio.* 1 " Mr. L. H. O. Martin of Elbertoo r . said: 1. “I would first say the thorough— ness of preparation and cultivation-, of their land. 2. The quantity and qu ility:of theix- manures.” This is a fine fruit region and wine making district also. - We visited some of the wine estab— lisliements here, including those- off: Engels & Krudwig; and also the'chatu — pugne cellars of Mr. M. Homme). The manner of manipulating wine- in order to produce.this ever popular beverage is veiy interesting, and be fore leaving here we hope to lay fore the readers of The Journal ft* description of the manner by whiclt. ordinary wine is converted into the:-, sparkling champagne. To-tuorrow we visit Kelly Islands and other vineyards and cellars be fore talcing in Toledo and the fair. . • 8. H. 'm A/L<4j| ls'SIj’S . : .. t J? Mr. Luce of Salt Lake Olty Gets Hi*s Money.
