LINKING MEN OF SCIENCE WITH
THE MASSES,

Successful efforts are now making in Ger
many to 'link men of science with the
masses" by means Of experimental farms
called "sgricu.tuTa! stations" and numerous
scientific schools. DIR. Theodorus Won
Goshen, in treating of this subject, says:
GThe most pernicious foes OF science are
those who constantly demand the useful,
and ignore all truth the immediate market
able value of which is not evident. Rev.
erence for truth must so I'll the minds of
scientific workers that a false description
of the most insignificant plant be felt as
much reproach as a false description of
The solar system. Simple, pure truth must
be the end of all nsturalists. Science can
never accept the discovery of what we wish,
but the discovery of what is true; and new
er can the welfare of mankind be attained
by even the ple&santest illusion, except
through the complete and simple truth"
Great benefits will accrue TO the public
10y teaching the masses a profound reVer.
ence for truth. When regard for truth is
lost, society has no proper materials for
judges, jurymen, witnesses, lawmakers,
merchants, or other business men. Among
such, all reports Of experiments in farming
at government stations, or by the members
of agricultural societies, are apt to be de-
ceptiye and worse than useless. 1t is there
fore highly important to cultivate 10 the
masses a love for truth, aud associate with
farmers in SCHOOLS and stations, gentlemen
of high moral as well as scientific culture.
In Prussia education is compulsory, and
both learning and science are held in the
highest esteem by the community at large.
Belgium supports more than twice the pop
ulation to the square mile compared with
Poland, yet it exports more agricultural
products. Apparently the more labor
ar, are crowded on an acre with high in
tslligence, the larger not only the crop in
the aggregate, but the yield per hand en-
Moved. Science and necessity have taught
the Belpians the jntensiue system Of farm
Inc. so that it is practic,d as perfectly as in
Holland. Every year appears to augment
tina power of cultivated mind over the nat
ural frujtfulness of the soil. Fertilizers are
more concentrated and reliable in the
hands of the masses linked with men Of
science. Agricultural combinations are
better organized and more successful in all
their undertakings than ever before. In this
fact our Southern friends should find en-,
couragement, form live associations, and
cooperate through the UNION AND AMER
1cAN. In union there is strength, indus
try. wealth; and in concentration, resIstiess
power

SUSTAINING THE PLUNDERERs.

Corruption and dishonesty seem to be
contagious among the Radical members of
the Republican party. The Philadelphia
Press, a Republican journal, says:
"Tbe increase of salary of its members
by the Forty-second Congress, was de-
nOunced as the most infamous act ever per-
petrated by legislative body-as crime,
a robbery. Precisely such bill is about to
be passed by the Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania. Ths Lower House Of that body
has actually consummated it, its men,
bers, like their Congressional prototypes,
having voted themselves an increase of pay,
extending over a term now nearly ended.
We hope the Senate will have the honesty
and courage to amend this ITEM"
Here we have Republican Legislature
doing what Republican Congress did with
she sanction Of Republican President.
The food-gates of corruption have been
thrown wide open, and while Republican
here and there denounces the act, they sus-
tain the President and the men who are
guilty with him. The New York EUening
Post, a journal that gave Grant an efficient
support in the late canvass, pictures the
present state ofpublic opinion in the Repub-
lcan party, which accepts fraud and plumb
er ''as a matter of course" as follows:
"In short, there is no possible justifca-
ton for the increase of salaries of the pres
ent Congressman except the Unsuitable
| greed ofmoney and the brutal disregard of
a sound public opinion which has so largely
characterized their official action. Twenty
years ago such moral atrocity would not
have been supposed possible, and now it is
accepted as a matter Of course. .
1t is hardly too much to say that it would
be better for the country if the session
could be wiped out altogether, for the in
vestigations in which it has consumed much
of its time are a modification to the people
and lasting disgrace to Congress.
The fact that Gen. Buffers 'salary grab"
was fastened on an appropriation bill is
quoted as sufficient reason why it could
not be killed by veto from the President.
But the Springfield Republican tentatively
puts out the theory that the President might

A FEW months ago, among the most
open and active revolut:onists Of Mexico,
was Gen. Per6rio D.az. he not only
raised troops to oppose the authorities of
the country, but led them with courage and
handled them with ability. This same
Perfrio Diaz has since laid down his arms,
disbanded his troops, and been elected to
the leading place on the Supreme Bench of
Mexico. That is the next place to the
Presidential chair, as in case Of the removal
by death or otherwise of the President of
Mexico, the chief justice takes his seat.

THE Illinois Central Railroad Company
is about to sell 10000 acres of their land to
German colony, TO be located in Wash
ington county, in the southern pan Of lii
nois. The question is asked, "Why can't
toe same policy be pursued in Tennessee?"
Because there is no corporation in this State
that owns so large a body Of land. But
this need not deter immigrants from com
ing here. They can get as much land as
they wsnt-perhaps not all in one body,
but in very large tracts. There is room
enough IN Tennessee yet.

THE selfish vote OF Congressman to make
the increase of pay apply to members of
the body just adjourned, costs the country
nearly sl,5O0,OOO. That is to say, that
large amount was taken out of the treasury
to pay the members of the forty-second
Congress over and above what the law
agreed to pay them. when they accepted the
position. l. is still worse when we con-
slider the number of men who held seats in
the forty-second Congress and are elected
to seats ia the forty third. In each Of these
cases the individual steal amounts to $10,-
900, being just that much more for each
man than the contract under which they
entered the public service; while Grant
pockets cool hundred thousand more than
the contract under which be was elected to
a second term, and that too by his own in
dividual act. This is sorry showing for
the party pledged to retrenchment and re-
form.
