The Horticulturist, reviewing the Agri-
cultural departments of the leading papers of
the large cities, concluded that:-
Good frst-class editorial talent for agricul-
tural writing is now very scarce. An abun-
dance of pretenders, glib writers, and un-
steady agricultural contributors are found,
but none of them are men of character, have
any versatility of resources, or the talent to fit
them for the editorial chair. In these days
when so many dishonest persons are found,
who make money in dishonorable way, by
abusing the advantages Of their position, the
public should give more honor to those who
are really honest and aim to do the public
good service In our opinion those who have
selE-dignity, aud are more concerned in doing
right, and working mot pretending) for the
real good Of the country, are to be encourag-
ed, rather than those who make most efforts
to put themselves forward for conspicuous
publicity"

No ALARM ABOUT THE HORSE DIS
Ease IN THE WEST.

M. noticeable feature of the Epizootio
=. Horse Cstarrh, that, while it is rapidly
nrosressing eastwArdly from Buffalo, the
point where it frat developed itself after
crossing the Canadian border, 1t has made
little or no progress westward. From Buff
fslo il travelled with almost railroad speed
TO Rochester, Albany, New York City,
Providence, Boston, and Portland, and at
last accounts was steadily advancing into
Nova Scotia. West and South of Buffalo.
in the same space Of time, 1t has made 10
psrceptibls progress whatever. One or two
cases have developed themselves at Indian
apolis and Detroit, but not with sueicien'
severity or in sufficient numbers to occasion
any alarm Il may be assumed with per-
feet safety that it will not prove epidemic in
the West. The reason of this is undoubt
edly to be found in the wide difference o.
weather and temperature between the Eas
and the West. At the East il has been fog
Nv and rainy for two or three weeks past
and 10 New York aud Boston the disess'
reached its height during severe rain
Storms. In the West, however, it has beef
com pAratively clear and dry, with prevailing
southwest winds. While the souihwes
wind aggravated our calamity year ago

Several actions have been commenced
against some of our vendors of spirituous IL
quors, under the new law. by the wives Of
men who have been spending their money
for rum. These actions have been begun
in the circuit court, and there is considerA-
bic curiosity to see how they are coming
out. 10 most cases under the new Law
great difficulty will be met with in finding
sufficient testimony to convict the seller
1t isn't going to be such an easy thing to
find out the particular cause of a certain Ell
feet, or if it is going to be an easy thing to
do, il certainly will not be so easy to deter
mine who is sponsible-who sold the
cause. We opins that convictions under
the law will not be procured so readily as
good many have imagined. 1t will be
found uphill busine ss hence the interest
which the public take 10 the suits com
menced in this oity.-Geneseo Republic.
The law is harsh and outrageous inter
ference with the personal rights and person
liberty of the citizen, and ought to be re-
pealsd. II was passed in frenzy of tenn.
psrance fanaticism. Neither the appetites
or the religioD of our people can be regulat-
ed by law. The observance of good order
and peace aud quiet can be secured, but
laws for that purpose should be applicable
10 all days.

The Argu' seems to think Mr. Lyon was too
severe with the offender Union.
THE ARGUS did not mention Mr. Lyeu or
any other policeman. The ARGUS was in
formed tina, "the offender" was placed upon
dray and the policeman sat down upon his
back, and in that position started for the
Jail, and The ARGUS said at appears to US
that such harsh and cruel treatment is hard
y warranted" To place any man upon
his face on q dray and sit upon
mis- back and drive over the rough streets is
cruel and inhumaD. If this was not done
then our informant was mistaken-whieh vo
hope was the case. 1t not the province Of
OF policemen or jAilors to punish or torture
people. A policeman eau call to his aid
every man in Ihe city, and need never com
plain of want of help to discharge his duties
in humane way. While The AReUs is a
friend to those in authority, in the proper
discharge Of their dntieL it is Also friend
TO tho unfortunate, and will ever insist on
their being treated with humanity. A man
crazy with whisky is not . reasoning or
reasonable being. and death is often pro.
duced by ill-.TsAtment while in such con-
di.ion. The duties Of policeman are deli
cate and difficult and often attended with
dAnger-bui they should ever be performed
with humanity.

Here is more evidence that we need bet
ter facilities for travel between the two
towns at night. The ferry boat ought to be
run till midnight every night, making hour
y trips after dark. The people of each aide
OF the river would. then know Just what to
depend on, and could attend parties, fsst-
walls, ADJUSTMENTS, lectures, etc. in either
town with comfort and safety. The bridge
too should be open all night, and free to all.
1t is shame that 10000 people living in
such close proximity, and with desire to
oultve social and business relations, should
be kept apart by the peDuriousness of an
odious ferry monopoly, and the red-tapeism
Of government officials. Suppose at don't

control .of this monopoly and prolonged
