Here we have the debts OF fifteen
towns which exceed in amount the en-
tire Indebtedness of all the States and
Territories. What do the people OF these
States know about their deLtsP Who
has incurred them, and whyl And how
will they be paid? These are questions
to which not one citizen in a thousand
ever gives moments thought. If they
ever do think about them. they say,
"Oh! well, we have n Mayor and City
Councils to look after this business; if
they don't do their duty We will turn
them out at the next election" With
this observation the citizen considers
his duty done, and year after year the
stealing goes on and the debt is piled up
for posterity to pay.
And this state Of things viii continue
just SO long as the private citizen fails
to take part in the government of the
city. We do not mean by that that every
man must run for Office, or preach Gre
form" from the house-tops, but that ev-
cry citizen should make il part of his
duty to see that those to whom he has
committed trusts properly discharge
them. We believe that with all the
corruption which exists, more money is
squandered every year through igno-
rance and incapacity than is stolen.

To PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAr.-Make
a strong brine and wash or wet the wheat
thoroughly then drain, and before the
wheat gets dry. sift on ashes, and stir
we'll, so that all the wheat may come in
contact with the dry ashes; or, in other
words, soak the wheat in strong brine
and then dry it With good strong ashes
air slaked lime would probably do as
well, or better and then it is ready for
sowing 1t may be prepared any time
when needed but should net stand over
too long, as the vitality the seed might
be injured have seen it used fifteen
years in succession, and never knew it to
fail to prevent smut. also think that
the wheat grows of better when nprepared
in this way, than when sowed dry, or
soaked in a solution of blue stone Cor.
