POSITION OF THE WHEAT5
MARKET.
From the Nashvine Union ana American.


The Chicago Tribune calls atten-
ton to the anomalous condition OF
the grain market at the present time.
Grain is higher in Chicago (freights
iueluded) than in New York or Liv-
erpool And this, too, notwithstand-
ing the warehouses of the Lake City
are packed to their utmost capacity.
The prices for June and July deliv-
cry show q liberal advance on pres
ent prices. Meanwhile, New York
dealers seemingly treat the matter
as if the grain was held on specula
ton, and that Chicago dealers were
seeking to force the purchase at fan
cy prices, than which, the Tribune
says, there never was a more sarions
mistake. The grain is not held by
spectators. 1t is in store on account
of the owners who live in the country
and not in the city. These men own
the property. and are able to hold It.
They have reached the conclusion
that q large area Of winter wheat has
been killed and the land plowed up
that the spring was so late that far
less grains OF all kinds has. been sown-
this spring than usual that the
winter. though unusually severe.
failed to destroy or materially reduce
the grasshoppers, whose depreda-s
tions. already begun. win this year
be extended over a-more. eastwardiy
section OF the country. and that for
these and various other reasons there
will be generally miIeh reduced
crop in 1878. Upon this basis the
owners Of these many millions OF
bushels Of grain In Chicago are hold
ing it for. the advanced prices which
they feel certain win prevail this
year, Our Tennessee farmers who
have good reas0n,s so far, TO antici-
pate . heavy wheat crop. cannot hut
regard The situation from cheerful
stand point.

The Couple Who Didn't Go a

They came into town on Sunday.
behind a poor, tired looking beast,
that was inclined to be bow-legged.
A buxom,looking miss in her teens
was arrayed in yellow dress, with
two founces and long train, and
the yonng man who sat beside her,
4 blazing with q red necktie and "a
/ wooden shirt, looked to be more than

The Dog Law.

Chattanooga Commercial.
/ Several or the country newspapers
of this State are doing themselves
discreditby the demagoguical course
they pursue in commenting on the
statute popularly known as ''the dog
law" The question with hundreds
of our best farmers, "ShaIl we raise
sheep?n bas been answered. in the
negative for the eight wears past,
and so answered because the super.
fluffy of dogs made sheep raising un-
safe in all localities and impossible
in most. We should not hesitate TO
say that, had Tennessee harbored
some thousands less of worthless
ours within her borders since the war,
she would to-day be worth several
millions more Of taxable property.
And these herds Of ours are owned
almost entirely by persons who rob
their families Of bread and ednca-
tional advantages and decent cloth
ing to. enable them TO feed their dogs.
They are. as rule, utterly irrespon-.
sible for sng damage they may do,
and many of them would resent with
more vigor the killing Of one. of their:
NANCY capines than they would the
infiction Of an injury upon one of
their children.
8 It was this state of things the leg
islature sought. in. good faith. to
remedy by the imposition of a tax.
on dogs. 7Itswas to enable the I'm
.dustrious and capable portion of our
rural population to better their con-
dition and add to the general wealth.
that !. the dog Law" was passed and
the editor who assails the motives Of
the assembly only to pander to a
mistaken or vicious sentiments
sentiment nischieVious and damag-
ing to the commonwealth--by just
that much makes OF his newspaper a
public enemy. so far as it's influence
may go.
The legislature may have been
mistaken in that it did not use the
most effectual means TO correct the
evil we have adverted to. To tax
him may not be the most feasible
procedure for abatement of the dog
nuisance. But to say that those
who voted for the Law Imposing such
tax acted from corrupt or nm
worthy motives, is a depth Of folly
that an editor or other intelligent
citizen should not descend TO.
