APPROPRIATIONS FOR PUBLIC

IRON The New Orleans Times.

CErOm the New Orleans Times.l
Tho parsimoniOus spirit Of the present Con.
gress with reference to works Of imperative com
mercial necessity is not less conspicuous than its
timid, compromising and exasperating policy
with reference to finances and political measures.
This body, very large majority Of which has
been recently elected to stay at home, it is hoped
will act with some Of that independence and COM
mon sense which should have characterized them
from the first. They may now cease to tremble
for the possible consequences Of vote for or
against national aid to the levees or the canal
bill. The FIRST care Of the average Congressman
is to nurse:his chances Of reelection with Sleep
less assiduity, and in that absorbing task his
functions as q sorytoT Of the public intsrests
greatly impaired or totally lost. Happily for us
the December session will he one Of those rare
occasions on which Congress as o body may east
aside its WOnted cares for itself and permit the
many Frustrated interests Of the country to loom
up into positions Of the lrstimportance. Happily,
too, they may, II they will, act with Tigor and
Justice, nor be deferred from wholesome lcgisla-
ton by the apprehension Of damaging criticism.
We do not desire to see lavish and reckless ap-
preparations, but great and necessary measures
should, and we trust at last will be recognized
and promptly provided for.

1t seems as VIC are at present advised, that It is
not Improbable that the President, In his annual
message, will recommend the employment Of
labor upon all the public works of the country,
present and prospective. He may go much
further than the completion of existing works. 1t
is not improbable that he will suggest a cOmpre-
hensiVe system of water and rail Communication
between the Atlantic sea-board and the West

Gigantic Railroad Project.

The completion of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, and the consequent
opening of a new route to the East,
has set other Eastern roads to con-
sidering how they may retain their
trade. IL Is said that the New York
Central intends to render its track a
quadraple one from Chicago to Buff
Alo, 1t being already SO between Buff
nlo and New York. The new tracks
are intended to be exclusively for
freight, thus avoiding the confusion
attendant upon having trains of UNI
equal speed on, the same track. I'M
der uniform time table 1t would be
possible to throw open the freight
business to general competition and
take private cars upon the line in the
same way that private canal-boats
are taken upon our canals. This
would give free trade Id freight In
Its most perfect form. - Western

That it does not, seems to be the
experience of fruit men in Illinois AS
well as in Iowa.
/ have especially noticed some
other facts, for instance, that trees OF
Richmond on Mahaleb, have larger
and more abundant foliage, decided
" healthier than those on the Mo-
relIo--the fruit will average larger,
and the trees will stand more firmly
in their places, not leaning to the
North. east, or other direction, as
will a majority of the trees on Mo-
relic bottoms, and in exposed situa-
tions.
AS there appears to he diversity
of opinion, l hope this subject may
receive throughout the State the at
tention to which its merits demand.
Let the experiences and results be
communicated freely, so that safe
work may be made in filling up the
waste places, as well rs new grounds
by selecting trees on proper stocks
for our varied soils and situations.
That thousands Of trees have been
killed, or so badly injured by the
past winters as to be worthless, can
not be denied. If there have been
more losses on one stock than anOth-
err note the fact. If on different
root there have been few or no los
SEES, let that be remembered in Sc
Letting trees for future planting.
In grating on the common Morel-
10 the operation is usually performed
considerably above ground; and II
worked with the Early Richmond,
as it is apt to grow faster than this
stock, there will usually be a bulge
by which you can identify the stock.
Also, you can generally determine
the matter by the multitude OF
sprouts which come up around the
Morello roots. When trees are on
Mahaleb no sprouts are thrown up
except now and then one from the
collar or main stem Of the root near
the surface Of the ground. As, at
least, the English Morello and Rich
mond are indispensable, let US adopt
the best means of insuring the lon
gevity of trees, as well as the finest
specimens of fruit.
When tree is declining or in a
diseased condition, are its fruits con-
ducive to health? This may be a
question for scientists who have Civ
en- attention to vegetable physiology.

The Knoxville JOURNAL thinks
that we must have hand i'm the

sire a hand in the game, but we want
to see our party, when 1t goes 1t
alone, hold more trump cards than
controlled the shutting affair recent

suit us much better, and there would
be q stake to win worth playing for,
even If the party did not make a
