AGBICULrURE-THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

1t was said long ago that the farmer who
took The WEEKLY TRIBUNE got more valua-
BILE agricultural information therefrom than
any professedly agricultural newspaper could
furnish him. True as this certainly was, it
becomes year by year and month by month
moro strikingly apparent. The number OF
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE issued this morning is
in itself signal illustration. Seven of its
broad columns are crowded with the latest,
freshest and most attractive results OF agricul-
tural experience in all parts of the country,
and in Great Britain, carefully edited by prac-
teal men, on the principle of presenting to
our readers only the best, on every point that
interests the farmer. One writer discusses the
difficulties IN the way of growing apples, and
the secret of the gradual decline in quantity
and quality of the product. Another treats OF
cranberry culture; another of strawberries
another of improved methods OF dairy man
agement ON Long Island; and yet another on
the management of fattening cattle In En-
gland. Half dozen present the attrac-
lions of different localities in the South w est
to emigrants, give prices at which I'M
proved farms can be bought in Virginia, Flor
ida. Colorado, and elsewhere, and tell OF the
chances for new settlers. A paper carefully
prepared by scientific man gives all yet
known about the muchtalked of process for
the desiccation of the sweet potato, which
promises yet to add new and most important
industry to the South. Others discuss the best
methods for manufacturing and using bone ma
nures; Others the fruits of the Southwest;
others agricultural implements Practical
information, gathered from the best sources by
practical men for practical men. may be re-

Another blow was struck in the Indian
country, on Christmay Day, of which Gen.
Sheridan's reports have only now been re-
ceived. This was the destruction of village
of hostile COmanches, at the junction of Salt
Fork with Elm Creek. Gen. Sheridan has
ample reason for the comforting comment
with which he closes his dispatch: 81 can
assure the General that ho need
"not expect continuance of muir
"ders and robberies from the Indians
Gin my Department hereafter, if one can judge
"from the Generalization which this Winters
Campaign has produced among Them" With
this gratifying intelligence comes also the
definite assurance from Gen. Sherman that, on
the personal acknowledgment Of Black Kettle
himself, his men were on the war path few
days before Sheridan fell upon them. Now can
we not have an end of the talk about the bar
barity of slaughtering those peaceful Indians
of Black Kettles?

Mr. Delmar as to the sinful perversion in this
matter We might differ, however, as to its
exact location. We think the perversiOn was
in his neglectng the business of the bureau
after this fashion, for the preparation of cam
paign documents, till Congress had to legislate
him out of Office Our chief misfortune in the
matter of Delmar is that he thinks we do mt
appreciate him at his own valuation. lie writes
to us that his &" work is good work, is original
work, is important work, and contains as few
errors as any similar work of equal extent"
Mr. Secretary McCullOch thought some OF tins
work so full of errors as to order it burnt {;
Congress thought it all so worthless as toklck
him out of office while we think it all OF so
much value that it fairly entities its author to
rank on an exact equality with the late learned
Assistant Attorney General, the Hon. j. NJ.
Bincklev. Why, then, tuiH Mr.. Delmar persist
in misunderstanding our kind opinions

INDUSTRY BETTER THAN PLUMBER.

Joseph MEDILL of Chicago writes TO cotem-
porary setting forth the Medllian construction
of the Monroe Doctrine, viz, that Great
Britain il not entitled to foot, much less
"third, OF the American Continent and that all
who are opposed to an early seizure of Canada
as payment for tho Alabama claims, and of
Mexico as cure for the imbecility of that
Republic, must "stand from under" We con-
fess that before this programme is carried out
we would like TO see such progress IN manu-
features and diversified industry III ILLINOIS
that her farmers should no longer be, as they
are. degenerating into herdsmen. We weuld
like to see them provided with markets for
their crops within less than 800 miles of the
State, 80 that they might no longer be COM
PEELED to grace skin, and scratch their
soil for annually decreasing harvests, in
order to arrive at some product requir-
ing 80 much land to produce that
nobody else can afford to raise it, and that can
therefore be sent 800 or 1000 miles to market
without being consumed in transportation
Though only small fraction of the land in
Illinois has been titled, each year reduces the
average product in all the leading staples, be-
cause her distance from manufactures and from

or four crops which require the largest area OF
land for the smallest result. In England,
France, Prussia, Massachusetts, Connecticut
New York, and Pennsylvania, land is every
year increasing in its yield, because their
markets are near and their crops diversified.
On the contrary, in Illinois within ten years
many thousands of farmers have retrogaded
into shepherds and herdsmen. Probably the
habit of grasping for more and new land,
which is inseparable from such degenerating
system of husbandry, has contributed to inspire
the thirst for foreign acquisition which Mr..
Medill expresses.
But higher path Of progress opens before
tho energetic men of tho West than to set
the Irishmen of the United States to cutting
the Threats of the Irishmen of Great Britain
(for it is Irishmen in the main that would fill
the armies Of both sides) in war for the ac-
quisiton or defense of Canada. Let the men

Let them open up this dormant and unused

Senator Folger's bill for the submission to
popular vote of the new State Constitution
provides that the town elections shall this year
be held on the 4th Tuesday of April; that two
additional ballot-boxes shall be provided, one
for votes on the Constitution, the other for
votes on the property qualification clause
for negroes; that beside persons now on
the Registry all who can prove themselves
entitled to vote, to the satisfaction of the Off
GERS shall be admitted; and that, if the Con-
stitutiOn be adopted, an election shall be held
on the Monday before the second Tuesday of
juno next, for Judges of the Court of Appeals,
and for three additional Judges of the Court of
Common Pleas in this city.
With the passage of this bill, the campaign
for the Amended Constitution opens. 1t is

good government to make it equally sharp

The annual report of the Commissioner of
Patents, which we publish to-day, conveys
several important recommendations, and we
trust will be carefully considered. We can
well believe that the business of the office
rapidly outgrows the facilities provided by
law for its performance, and that more care
full and systematic examination of applications
for patents than seems practicable under the
existing organization is demanded in the inter-
ests both Of inventors and the public. But the
needed reforms can be secured. we are firmly
convinced, without increasing the salaries of
the clerks. Mr.. Commissioner FoOte has shown
wise zeal in saving the public money in the
matter of contracts, and we hope he Will exer-
else equal good sense in the matter of salaries.
The receipts of the Patent Office last year were
$4,000 in excess of the expenditures and this
year Mr.. Foote thinks the surplus will amount
to 100000.

Later news from the seat of war in Paraguay
does not indicate any change in the situation
The Paraguayans deny that they were totally
defeated at Villeta. Their account is undoubt-
edly supported by the fact that Gen. McMahon
was received by President Lopez only few
miles from the scene of the late battle, and
that even at the date of our last advices the
Brazlians had made no further progress If
Lopez, as the Brazilians reported, had made his
escape with only two hundred followers, the
situation would certainly have been very diff
ferent.
