SOME COMPARISONS.

Rev. NJ. ID. Conway, in one of his inter
esting letters from London, tells this story !:
Let me conclude my letter with the fol-
lowing little conversation which over
heard at the Adelphi Theatre few eye-
nings ago. The play was Jack Cade.'
First stranger, remarking upon one of the
earlier thefts of the hero, says, He's fair
candidate fer Newgate.' Second stranger
says, If he went to. America, he'd be
fair candidate for Congress- Fact"
This is rather rich tale to come from an
Englishman. Crackers complain loudly :
and with some cause, of the fearful cor
ruption existing in our political elections
and in our legislative bodies. There is
cause for serious alarm, but it certainly
does not become an Englishman to make
comparisons. We have. some bad men in
Congress, and some who corruptly use mon
ey in securing their elections, but it has not
yet come to pass in elections for Congress
in America that men buy their elections
as openly and VIGOROUSLY as they purchase
their clothing or lands. Such, however, is
the case in elections to Parliament in Eng
land. Rich men with about as little brains
as mortals can carry, buy their seats in
England's legislative body as openly as
they buy their ale or porter. Votes are
bought without disguise. Elections. are
not the expressions of the popular will but

counsel employed BY the Government un-
legal proceedings agaist the Union Pacific
Railroad Company and Credit Mobilier of
America, having completed the prepare
ton of the bill in equity, for that purpose,
submitted it to-day to Attorney General
Williams, who approved and accepted it
without alteration, 1t was determined up
on consultation to file the bill in the

Germany is no longer to be dependent
on England for the iron plates required for
her navy. -Krupp's mandatory is now
preparing to make iron plates on large
scale, and has ordered four ships, two of
which will be finished next year, of the
North German Ship-building Society at
Gaasden, near Kiel. These ships are to
bring iron ore to Germany from some
large iron mines belonging to Krupp, in
Spain. The total number of vessels to be
employed in the service is twelve, and the

in their construction shows that the Ger

in many cases simply show the length OF
the purses ofthe rival candidates. This is
NOT always SO, but it is common and noto-
rious. There is another respect in which
America win not suffer by comparison
with England. The average ability
of our Congressman is superior to the av-
erage ability of members of Parliament.
Our Senate will compare favorably with
the English House of Lords. Here while
it occasionally happens that rich men by
their money secure seats in Congress, yet,
when it is discovered, it either results lin
their expulsion from. the bodies in which
their seats were corruptly secured, or their
exposure to public scorn, which is still
more feared than the lack of political pow
er. While these comparisons can truth
fully be made, it does not become English
men to make sport of the American Con-
gress.
We might carry the comparison further.
While England has in her present Queen
a virtuous and noble ruler, she has no
cause for boasting in the heir to her throne.
He has been a dissolute, corrupt young
man. He has carried his dissipation so far
as to shock even the most callous minds.
His career has been disgrace to the civili-
cation of the age, and unless he does bet
ter the Executive power of England will
have as little dignity and virtue as it did
in other days to which Englishmen do not
care to revert. Comparisons are not pleas
ant and certainly in the respects named,
not creditable to England. FsE

Madisonville last Monday, was Judge
Houk, of Knoxville, apparently in excel
to learn from him that, although not a
subscriber to the Post, he is an occasional
reader of it-a fact which may, to some
extent, account for the somewhat conserv-
alive character of his course during the
recent session of the Legislature. Judge

THE Constitution of Ohio forbids mu-
nicipal corporations from appropriating
money for the construction or operation OF
railroads. A late Legislature passed what
is there known as the Boesel law, which
indirectly secures for cities what the Con-
stitution forbids. This law has just been
reviewed by the Supreme Court of the
State and declared unconstitutional. 1t is
said that the recent Wright law passed as
an amendment to the Cincinnati Southern
railroad bill, has in it many features of the
Boesel law. The trustees of the Southern
road not wishing to build and operate a
road at the expense of the city, when for
less money the same advantages could be
secured by contracting with second parties
who would agree to build the road and give
Cincinnati favorable freight rates, procured
the passage of the Wright law as a supple
ment to their original bill. The Times
now claims this last addition unconstitu-
tional as per the late decision. If so,
further delay is probable in the location
and building of this projected road.

attention to the black salary question:
So far as we are concerned, we propose to
leave Cengressmen to speak for themselves
III that question. We are not the keepers
oftheir conscience. The CHRONICLE has
published the explanation of Senator
Brownlow, who speaks for himself in a
way not to be mistaken, and it is ready to
give space to any others who feel called
upon to explain. The Senator's candor
aud pluck meets with the endorse
ment it deserves. All we have to
say to the Union and american is
that if it and its associate plunderers in the
public printing swindle will talk out as
plainly on that question as Senator Brown
low has on the salary question, the people
will know more about the extent of its
swindles. IF we had our hands as deep in
the public treasury as the Union and

CITY WASTE OF FERTILIEY.

Considering the rapid growth OF Amerl-
can cities, the extent 10 which they con-
same the products of the soil and the small
returns made in the shape OF manure, our
agriculture can never reach sound basis
till this greas error is corrected. To show
the folly ofthrowing fecAl matters into cess
pools, wafer closets, sewers and rivers, we
copy the following report from the Prussian
Minister of Agriculture:
an. Lefeld: was commissioned by the
Minister of Agriculture of Prussia, to visit
England for the purpose of determining the
value Of thu different systems of utilizing
sewer sge; and he has lately published re-
port on the subject, which is not encourag-
ing in regard to the employment of these
substances as manure. His principal in.
Quiries were with reference 10 the method
of sewerage irrigation. He shows that this,
instead of being matter of profit, is &C.
tually The cause of considerable loss; and
he quotes the Statements of experts to the
effect that not single sewerage farm in
England is worked to advantage, notwith-
standing all calculations as TO apparent
gain; and maintains that it is utterly IRA
tional to expect anything but loss, even
though the sewage itself msy possess con-
siderable manurial value, In examining
into the Edinburgh irrig ation meadows, DIR.
Lefeldt ascertained that, If the sewage
water is allowed u flow upon the land u
til two days before moving, the growth is
found to be most iuXuiisnt, with the single
drawback that cattle refuse to EFT the grass.
The capillary tubes for some inches above
the roots sre found to be filed with unas-
simulated focal matter. 1t was also ascer-
tanned that at considerable distance from
sewage farms, when the wind was In the
proper direction, the emanations were ex-
tremely offensive, requiring a long expert
ence to becJme accustomed to them. In
certain localities, where the sewage is dis
infected with carbolic acid previous to irri-
CATION, there was less complaint OF often
sive effiuvia, ard this is consequently sug-
gested as suitable preliminary treatment.
According TO the calculations of M. Lefeldt
an acre of land should not receive the Sc
cretions of more than twenty to twenty-five
persons. On this seal, London would re-
quire farm of $50 coo acres to utilize its
refuse. The difficulty of irrigation with
sewage lies in the fact that the publication
and economical application generally go to-
gether. Publication alone is quite practic-
abe, although vt great EXPENSE and econ

THE COMING HOG CROP.

We take the following from the Drouers'
Journal of Chicago. 1t possesses value as
a statistical statement:
The entire number of hos produced in
the West for the last packing season did not
fall far short of 6,000,C0 If we add the
large number of western hogs that were
packed in Canada and our eastern cities to
the number that was packed at the various
packing points in the west, and we now ex-
pect to see the number for coming season
reach fully 9, 000, GOO, and we expect to see
them made fat enough to weigh as heavy as
any equal number of hogs have ever weighed
heretofore. We expect to see this result
because q will be the only course that
farmers can take for getting rid of goodly
part of their corn supply at something like
living prices, and while We do not expect
to see On over-suppy of pork, we Go not
LelieTe IL will be prudent or safe for those
engaged In raising hogs to expect any better
prices than were realized during the past
packing season for hogs, say 365 to 425
pounds as the extreme .ange of prices at
Chicago. With all the world at peace, ev-
cry sound operator knows that it would
never do to pack such number of hogs as
we nova days have to deal with, at prices
that would give any material cheek to the
freest possible consumption of the product
DO b at home and abroad.
By the United States census report lately
published, the whole number of hogs In all
the States and territories is given at rs, 1884,
$50. Ofthis large sggregate Illinois has
the largest number of any State, 2,703 1868;
Missouri shows 2,306590; North Carolins,
l,975,215; Indiana, 1,072,230; Kentucky,
1887, 1927; Tennessee, 1928, $3.50; Ohio, H.
72S,99S; Iowa, 1,353,908. These are the
eight heaviest hog raising States in the
Union. Among the smaller States Yer
mont has 46 ,345; MARYLAND, 49,178; Maine,
1890; Connecticut, 51,9SS. The entire
number of hogs in either one of these four
States is but little over the number that has
been received at the Union Stock yards in
single day. In Kansas and Nebraska the
supply of hogs is increasing at an amazingly
rapid rate, those two young States being
eminently fitted with soil and climate for
the production of corn and hogs.
