THE CONVENTION OF JUDGES AND
ATTORNEYS GENERAL
From the Dresden DemOcri

1t will be remembered that we no.
ticed a short tins since that our most
efficient Comptroller had requested the
Circuit Judges and Attorneys General
IN the State to convene at Nashville,
for the purpose of regulating fees in
criminal prosecutions, with a view of
decreasing the expenses of the State.
Well, the ~gentlemanly Judges add At
torneys have met and they have parted.
Their deliberations revealed the fact
that there was a great variety of ways
Of doing business in the Criminal Court
that the State was required to pay a
great deal more money out than there
was any necessity for.
They made a good many suggestions
to the Legislature most of which we
earnestly hope they will heed. The sug-
gestions of an intelligent and honest
set of officials, like our Judges and At
torney Generals. should have a great
deal Of weight with our legislators.
They are supposed to know better the
defects Of the law, the gaps through
which criminals escape and the leaks
where the money is lost, than those who
are not experienced.
We call the attention of our pros.
pective candidates for the Legislature
to their suggestions, and would remind
them that the people will require a full
discussion of the points embodied.

MOHAIR AND HIS USES.

Mohair is the fleece of the goat; that
Of the Angora is most valuable. At
this time all the Angora leeces in the
world are estimated at seven million
dollars a year. The supply is so small
as compared with the demand that a
factory in Lawrence, Massachusetts,,
has stopped work because unwilling to
pay three dollars a pound for mohair.
The proprietorso of a mill in Providence,
Rhode Island, imported seventy thous.
and dollars worth Of machinery for the
exclusive manufacture of goats hair in
1868, and with other mills soon used
I'D all thewOrkable heeces in the United
States on the markets. This company
has imported 10000 pounds from Asia
Minor; and the article has become so
scarce as to be worth three dollars q
pound. But what is this fiber good
for? Watered camblets Of great listre
and brilliancy. as well rs remarkable
durability, are made from Angora
feeces. Some fifty different fabrics Of
very salable goods + turned
out, having mohair for a part of their
staple. In France a new kind Of lace
is made and substituted for the very
costly fabrics of Valenciennes and
Chantilly. Utrecht velvets are made
both in France and England for hang
ings, furniture trimmings, lining of
carriages, fringes, t~assels, etc. Ten
pounds of goat hair thus manufactured
have sold at retail for $500. In fabri-
eating the most costly shawls, mOhair
warps is used, while the filing is spun
fur that gives warmth and s~oftness,
and both impart luster and durability.
Raising minks and other fur-bearing
animals, and the best goats, is fast be-
coming a new department of rural IN
dustry. Goats, minks and beavers are
hardy animals, and the covering that
keeps them warm in cold weather viii
do as much for man. The spinning and
weaving Of fur and hair by machinery
indicate progress in the useful arts, and
shawls made in this III have sold
at from $500 to $500 a piece.

OHIO presents a striking example of
the wonderful growth Of this country,
especially the Western portion. Ac-
cording to the State Auditors Report
the total tax valuation in Ohio upon
real and personal estate is 1885,, 0O0,-
Geo, Of which S342, 200, 900 is in real
estate. The Cincinnati Enquirer says:
"As real estate Is not appraised at
more than one-third its value, we may,
therefore, compute the wealth of Ohio
in land and improvements at full S.
3O0,00O.OOO Not one-quarter of the
personal property IS listed for taxation,
and that is far below its value. 1t is 2
low estimate to put the personal pro-
perry at $4,000 OO,O 600. The total
wealth Of the State is full S5,300,G00,

cumulated in the lifetime Of men now

SCRIP.


Arecentd decision Of the Supreme Court
Of Arkansas makes Treasurer's certi-
fcates receivable for all county and
municipal taxes as well as State dues.
Very naturally, this forcing of State
scrip creates much commotion In the
various counties, The Supervisors of
Arkansas county had the matter under
debate recently, and propose to resist it.
In an address "to clerks, sheriffs and
all other county officers" throughout
the State, they affirm
1--WE believe that the issue of State
scrip is at variance with the Constitu-
ton Of the United States-and that its
issue from It's very inception to the pres
ent day has been a cheat, a swindle,
and afraud uponthe rights of the State.
In our opinion this decision
of the Supreme Court viii result, ulti-
mately, in the financial ruin of every
county In the State"
This denunciation, be it noted, comes
from Republicans, whose party is re-
sponsible for the scrip system and its
evils. The Little Rock Gazette states
that when the work Of Freconstruc-
tion" began therewa over two hundred
thousand dollars in the State treasury,
and nearly all the counties were free
from debt, with a surplus on hand.
What remained in the treasures at
that time was gobbled up as the trite
old saying goes, "before you could say
Jack Robinson" and then commenced
the systemof issuing scrips, State scrips,
county scrips, school scrips, road scrips
interest scrips and all kinds of scrip
that the ingenuity of Radicalism could
conceive

THE RIGHTS OF LABOR AND CAP

The proceedings of the English
Trades Union Congress, which was re-
Gently held at Sheffield, are regarded as
indicating a better feeling between
labor and capital. In the speeches and
addresses, there is but little of the old
bitter feeling towards the moneyed and
mercantile classes, and nothing what
ever of the new leayenof International
ism or Communism, which has so large
" affected, if it is not now affecting,
kindred gatherings at other times and
other places. True, there was no lack
of plain speaking, with reference to the
various hardships and grievances i'm
posed upon the laboring people by par
tial or class legislation, and not less
eloquence than usual in urging ways
and means for their speedy removal;
but all this was free from the
menaces and threats and loose talk
with which it was formerly associ-
ated. 1t is by such a course that
the laboring classes may better them.
selves, by cultivating more intimate re-
lations with the money power. Labor
has its rights and 80 has capital, and
the recognition of this fact viii Ger.
tainly be beneficial to both. 1t is per.
fectly right that laboring men should
unite in proper efforts to secure the re.
peal or modification of oppressive leg.
islation, and in all such movements
they should endeavor to secure the CO.
operation Of the capitalists. Co-opera-
ton will certainly accomplish much
good In this direction, for there are
honest capitalists in all communities
who recognize the rights of labor. and
are ready to unite in any measure that
will secure these rights. The Univer.
sal League Of the workmen Of Geneva
sent an application to the English
Trades Union Congress at Sheffield tc
be allowed to '~tfraternize" with them:
but it was respectfully declined
on the ground that such an action
might be interpreted by the public
as an expression of sympathy
with "men whom they did not know
for that matter, "men who might OF
the morrow commit themselves to some
course the Congress might notapprove
and who might make a parade of the
sympathy of English workmen." II
is clear from this that the leaders Of
the workingmen have the good sense &c
see that nothing is to be gained fol
their cause by afiliation, or even quas
| afiliation, with the crazy men of the
| Continent, who are impregnated witt
the visionary and mischievous notions
of the Commune. 1t is time for tht
prudent and thoughtful among the
working classes to take the lead and
control the action of their organiza
tions. This class of men know thai

capital and labor, except such as hai
