IT Is to be feared that the present ses-
sion Of Congress will expire without any
definite action regarding the proposition TO
recognize the independence of the Cuban
Republic, From every section Of the
country we have most positive indorse-
ments of the resolutions presented for that
purpose by Senator Carpenter and lodge
Poland, and no one who judges impartally
the sentiments of the American people, as n
binds exposition through the columns Of the
press, can deny the assertion thst their i'm
mediate sdoptson would meet with earnest
approval The people begin to understand
that the Spanish authorities on the island
are inimical to the United States, not only
70 the extent Of individual cruelties and the
barbarous massacre Of American citizens
but also to the extent Of robbing our busi-
ness men in the way Of invidious distinc-
tons against them in their customs reguls-
ton. But above all there is sentiment
in the country which demands the sboh-
ton Of slAyS1y "a tnis continent and it IA
known that thu demand will not be graft
fed so long as the Spaniards retain control
of affairs.

Cation of honored precedents. The at
tempt thereat would only increase the
popular sense OF the danger of third
term; for then it would be perceived that
can ambitious President may plunge his
country into peril, such as war, in order
ito create an apparent necessity for con-
''tinuing him In power. The Republican
party can elect any candidate that shall
'be freely nominated by Its national con-
"vention. K is not requisite that before
chat nomination he shall have arisen to
Commanding prominence. The large
number of men of ability does not allow
this. But the nomination of Gen. Grant
''for third term would be such shock to
ancient customs; it would be 50 tainted in
'the public mind with his patronage; 1t
would be so accepted by public out
"cry as the fulillment of the enemY's
predictions of what would come from
placing this Office in the hands of
80 soldier. and of his determination to
''elect himself for life, and would
'fn many ways furnish so much matter to
''stir up popular jealousy, that it would be
fatal to the Republican party; and SO the
attempt at q third term would bring
Grants career to an end in disgrace. To
this compilation of horrible possibilities and
cstastrophes the Baltimore American
makes answer: There is no everything
objection to the election Of q President for
90 third term, provided the renominati on
''is not sought and schemed for by the in
"cumbent. lift is freely and spontaneously
rendered by large majority of the party
whose candidate he may be, there is no
valid reason why he should not accept
che nomination. Principles, not men,
should be the motto of all political parties,
''and if the triumph of those principles can
''be better secured by the reelection of q
popular President for third term than by
seeking new and untried candidate, we
''can see nothing in such an election that
could be tainted with Cesarism. But il
IAN incumbent should seek denomination,
'by using the patronage of the Government
ito control State organizations, and to thus
''overwhelm and defeat the will of the
people, the destruction of the party would
''be the inevitable result"
The three articles from which the above
quotations are taken seem to fairly repre-
sent public sentiment upon this question
The safety of the republic, of republican
institutions, honor and honesty are the con-
trolling and paramount ideas in the minds
II the overwhelming majority of the people
to-day; and We may be certain that they
will be the controlling ideas two years
hence. Tradition or no tradition, the
people, we are confident will see to it that
they are not in any way endangered in
1875. Precedents are sometimes safe, and
sometimes they are not.

THE Salt Lake City Tribune marvels at the
hesitapcy of the House Election Committee to
expel Apostle Cannon, who 1t declares to be q
notorious disloyalist, as we'll as polygauist,
throughout the Territory Of Utah. 1t says:
"Here in Salt Lake City Apostle Cannon IL
too we'll known as q promulgator Of treason
able sentiments to render the reproduction Of
testimony necessary In this regard. His ser
mons and writings, published by authority Of
the Mormon Church, abound in evidence Of
hatred to the Federal institutions and laws.
Bound by secret and terrible osths, the priest
hood Of the Latter-day Saints are sworn to
enmity against the people Of the United
States until the death Of Joseph Smith shall
have been avenged In blood. Cannon is one Of
the highest ip rank in this traitorous hierarchy,
and was 50 convicted before the Election Com
mittee. It was shown that he had deliberately
violated the national law by committing the
crime of polygamy, and counseling others to
initiate his example,"

"THE time is coming" says the Chicago

will look after the interests of the white people
of Che South as means Of advancing the ne
groes. The first thing to bring about q regen-
erstionof the South is to make property &C.
cure there" Pray what has the entire coun-
try to do with the security Of property in the
Southi Or how Is It to do it, This Is matter
exclusively for the Southern people themselves.
The General Government has nothing whatever
to do with It. Does the Tribune mean that the
army should be sent down there-that Con-
gress should interfere with State and num-
cipsl affairs in so unwarrantable q manner
Again, would it not be first in order to make
i" life," as well as property" secure in the

THE Missouri Democrat says: SIT Is surprisl
ing to us that neither the New York Herald
nor the Louisville Courisr-Journdl has per-
ceived the strategy of the transfer of army
headquarters from Washington to st. Louis.
Suppose, as these papers assert, that Grant
dreams Of imperial power, and that he is lay
ing his plans to realizeit. Suppose that he has
impaired his secret designs to certain army
officers whose patriotism Is proof against such
suggestions. How thoroughly Cesarism has
been thanked by fixing the army headquar-
ters in the centre of the Mississippi valley,
where millions Of the people would rally to the
flag to resist imperial encroachments. Mr.
watterson will please sail in apd tell us how it
looks to his minds eye"
The Democrat Is all wrong. Gen. Grant has
formed deliberate plan to make himself en-
peror or dictator or something else in 1875.
Gen. Sherman is in his confidence, and the re-
moval of headquarters to st. Louis is for the
purpose of laying the mailed hand upon the
great Mississippi valley while Gen. Grant, at
tends to the East in Washington. Gen. SheH-
dan will see that the Northwest promptly
comes under the yoke. A triumvirGte is by no
means improbable. .--

people and the nation. What we need is a
great exemplar or regulator line or lines
built by Government and operated in the
interest of the producers and consumers,
the rates upon which would necessarily be
governing rates. We should have water
lines and rail lines enough constructed for
this purpose and private competition would
then be safe from absorption by the moneyed
monopolists, and industry would have some
show of reward. In this view the bills of
Messrs. McCrsry and Window are impor-
tant steps in the right direction, and will
result if passed, In at least affording to
Congress, at the next session, large
amount of information upon this subject
that is sadly needed upon which topredicate
further legislation. The people Of the West
and South, as well as the consumers Of the
East demand and expect action on these
bills before adjournment and favorable
action too. Let them not be disappointed.

Mr.. John Johnson now in his eighty third
year, is the great father of understanding in
this country. He had rather wet piece of
ground at Geneva, New York, and after read
ing what had been done in England, deter
mined to try for himself in this country, wha:
good it would do. There were no tiles made
in America, so he had to send to Europe
for them. This was in 1885. In 1888 he in
duced some American to make them In II
recent New York Tribune, Mr. Johnson gives
his latest opinions, derived from continuous
observation. He says, in regard to the depth
at which drains should be laid, that there is
no rule. They have to go below the hard
pan, however deep that may be. He has no
drains on his farm but two and half feet
deep and they act just as we'll as some would
at four feet The range is generally from
two ana half to four feet,
In understanding, it is the practice to make
main drain, somewhere where there is a
good fall, and then the lateral drains are led
into this one. There has been some dispute
rs to how large the main drians should be.
For instance if there is one main of four in
Ches in diameter and dozen smaller ones
say two inches lead into it, people are apt to
calculate that there is the combined borcs Of
the dozen-say twenty.iour inches-to dis
charge into the four inches, and are apt to
argue that this cannot operate but Mr..
drains running into one four-inch main, and
he finds that the water goes through just as
well as if the main were larger. For a time
he could not understand this, but At last he
found the pressure of so much water behind
increased the velocity of the water passing
through the main. 1t made up in velocity
what the pipe was short Of in bulk. This
principle is we'll known to everybody when
once it is suggested, and yet it is n fact PEG
pie are very liable to forget when engaged in
understanding operations.
As to what land it is profitable to under
drain, this is a subject which, like the depth
of drains, depends altogether on circum
stances. If good farm land can be had in
the vicinity for say $50 per acre. it is very
doubtful whether 1t will pay to spend $l5C
per acre in undertaking it. 1t would be
more profitable to sell the wet land which
needed draining, and buy other lands that
did rot. Again, where water does not re
main very near the surface, but sinks soon
after each rain ten feet or more, I'm lerdraln
ing will add very little more to the value
There are many parts of the country where
water stands tor months but few feet from
the surface, an account of solid clay deposi
known as hard pan, and in such cases it vii
pay, in all probability, to underdrain Onet
land. Mr.. johnson made it pay handsome
". Many have followed his example iniu
diciously aid have had no benefit which
would compensate for the capital involved
In some cases there is great beneft-at tn
same time there is no department of improy
ed agriculture that requires one to move S,
ihoughtfully as in undertaking operations
