The latest Daniel risen to teach Judgment
to the Gentiles of the Senate ia the Honorable
VIM. Pitt Kellogg Of louisiana This gentle
man has discovered that the geographical dis-
tributon of the Department clerkships Is not
exact, and has thereupon introduced DIN re,
ouiring that each Territory and Congressional
District shall have its fair share. We.suggest
TO Mr.. Kellogg that his proposition does
scant justice to the claims of our
Office seeking fellow-ctizens.. 1t should
decree the number of clerks to be
taken from every hundred square miles OF our
territory, and compel each locality to furnish
it's due proportion under proper pains and
penalties. 1t should forbid the retention
of any man in Office for any such
old-fashioned reason as that he is faithful ana
canable. and should order new deal all
around. Perish ideas of fitness! The square
mile test is the only one that should ever be
applied.

the Secretary of the Treasury began
to dismiss the women clerks who were not

the Senate orders the dismissal of
ninety-three extra men and boys who have

Some of the newspapers say that President
Grant has resolved not to appoint District
Attorney in New-YOrk until after Mr.. Courtney
has tried Mr.. Fullerton. We do not believe
this. Mr.. Courtney is the last gentleman to
try Mr.. Fullerton. He has a personal quarrel
with that gentleman which is bitter and
notorious Apart from that, the assurance to
Mr.. Courtney that he will be kept in office
until Mr. Fullerton's trial will probably pre-
clude the necessity of making any appointment
for the next four years. If this rule is to be
adopted in Mr.. Courtney's case, why not give
it wider application Why not keep all the

Comments bu The Tribune.

That those who are now on strike Is,
getting o weekly allowance for doing nothing
-would disagree with THE TRIBUNE, is quite
natural. Our "theory" and their practice are
in fragrant antagonism. But that "they are
"not necessarily idlers," is our position exactly.
We assert that they are unnecessarily idlers-
that they could find means of getting to work
if they would. That to do so in the best way,
they would need "some capital" we have ar
gued these thirty years; and we have tried to
pcite them to acquire such capital. and show
them how. Perfect Cooperation is still in the
future; but very rude imperfect attempts to
achieve the great end seem to us preferable to
lounging for weeks about grogshops In utter
idleness, awaiting the conclusion of strike"
Better earn sixpence q day in trying to employ
yourselves than stand still, and thus virtually
confess that you can do nothing without
"bOss.n
That Capital and Labor may be placed, or
NAV place themselves, in a relation OF antag0-
nism, we see and depore; but we hold that
false relation, and one which condemns the
agencies whereby it is produced as radically
vicious. And, if Labor can accumulate funds
whereby to support Strikes, it may accumulate
them also for wiser, more benefcent ends.
We hold that the Masons of our city spent
enough on their strike of last year to have
provided fairly for the organization and per-
manent self-drection of their own labor ever
more. We are trying to incite Labor to strike
not aqainst Capital but for Capital-that is, for
the possession aud direction Of adequate cap
tai which shall be wholly its own.

Does il Fay 10 Raise KeaspberrIes j.:

Under thfs head a correspondent writes to the
New York Fruit Growers Club, as follows:
'.To show whether it does pay to grow rasp-
berries or not will give the yield from an acre
grown the past season.--The plot contained orig
inally CPS plants, of which number from thirty
to sixty were killed out the first year by billing
up. The soil was composed of yellow sand, and
a ioamy heavy sand, with clay bottom, on part
of the plot. The variety, Seneca black can.
There were picked for market over ferty bushels.
which sold for over four dollars per bushel, and
several bushels of which no account was made.
What whore picked for market were grown on
ground with sandy bottom. On the clay bottom
there were from twenty to thirty bushels of ber-
ries which were left unpicked from being 90
dried up as to be worthless. There was not
enough rain but once after they had blossomed
to reach half way down to the roots, but with
the lack OF moisture, had the plot been thorough
ly cultivated, the loss of berries would have been
small; but there was nothing done to them after
they were hillled up in the spring-Ns one need
expect to grow crops of berries without giving
them proper care.--In favorable season, with
proper cultivation, one hundred bushels of ber-
rles can be grown on the same plot where only
little over forty bushels were sold this year
from 1T. If any one doubts that the above yield
can be grown on half acre, would advise
them to go and see various growers, and see the
different yields, and if they then have any doubts
sabout such yields, let them come and see my
plantation while in bearing, and think they
will have all doubts removed. But such yields
are not required to make it pay even Fifty BUSH
els per acre pays great deal better than q crop
OF corn. But every one who has rod Of land,
should raise enough for their own use.
