corporation or individual, the taX-pay-
eTs OF that city will have to pay. and
the sum will reach millions. Perhaps
years may elapse before a settlement
can be reached; perhaps the railway
company may be Frustrated by heavy
loss, without speedy redress: but in the
end the people who tolerated Commun-
ism will have to pay for its work. We
only hope that the cost will be heavy
enough to teach other cities the neces-
Isity of unfolding law.
But SO it is in all civilized society.
The community which engenders Com
munism by its spirit in dealing with
rights of property; the community
which encourages by sympathy the
least resort to violence or intimidation
by laborers in their differences with
capital; the community which allows
the mob spirit to elect the civil officers
land organize the police and military
forces, always has to pay the cost di-
rectly OF indirectly. The United States
has so far encouraged the spirit of
| Communism, as shown in the imitation
movement and i'll the recent Demo-
cratic struggle for control, that it must
pay The cost. Taxpayers will have to
meet it, when bills for movement of
troops are paid. Business men will
have to bear it, when delay of goods
and return Of drafts caused loss or
bankruptcy. Capitalists will have to
pay for their neglect in Quenching this
spirit at the outset, for all their securi-
ties Will decline in value. Working
men themselves Will have to bear their
share Of the cost, and no light share,
in the advance Of provisions and coal,
land many articles of merchandise, and
in the stoppage Of work in thousands
Of establishments. The innocent will
will suffer with tie guilty; but such is
the law Of all civilized society If we
fail to maintain the conditions which
make such society possible, we must
al share the terrible cost Of failure.
For years Wehaye been cultiyating the
spirit of Communism in these United
States. The infationists have tried to
rob creditors; the Changers have tried
to rob transporting companies; the
trades-unions have tried to rob men
willing to work at lower rates. We
have soWed the seed, and cultivated it
to maturity, ard now we are having a
harvest. No man can tell how many
millions it will cost us before that
spirit which is at war with all civil
IiZed society can be subdued.

KEN0sHA, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1877

inquiry into the ramifcations Of the
institution reveals strange and inter
esting phases in the philosophy of
human existence. All sorts of men,
prompted by an infinite variety Of
motives, are found among these wand
.erers. Volumes might be filed mar
rating their strange experiences.
While majority Of these nomads have
at times figured in the criminal annals
Of the country, many Of them are
harmless and inoffensive, and appear
to follow their Improbable career with
a sort of dreamy incomprehensible in
difference to fate and an utter lack Of
settled purpose in life. Such is the
tremendous force Of habit. Depreda-
tions by these men have been so num-
erous and in many instances SO shock
ing, that the law-making powers of the
West have been for five years past
tracking their brains to devise remedies
for mitigation Of the evil The fre-
quency of such outrages as the cap
ture Of railroad trains, and the plumber
of country stores, to say nothing of
orchards and farm-houses, by the con-
certed action Of superior numbers, has
awakened the people Of this State and
Southern Illinois to realization Of
the danger which perpetually menaces
their lives and property. Robberies,
assaults, arson and murder by these
wretches, are now daily reported in
the newspapers, and the name tramp
has become synonymous of the most
embodiment Of evil passions, and in
stead Of being abated, each season the
evil becomes more aggravated and
Widespread. If it is not checked
soon, the whole western country will
he little better, protected than the
trigand-infested portions Of Italy,
though, unlike the Italian system, our
brigandage viii never receive the tacit
sanction Of the law Of the land.

Value of Poultry Manure.

From actual experiment, we found
that droppings from four BramahS, for
one night, weighed in one case, exactly
one pound; and in another more than
thr0e-Quarters; an average of nearly
four ounces to each bird. By drying,
this was reduced to one and a half
ounces. Other breeds make less; but
allowing one ounce per bird daily, of
dry manure, fifty fowls will make in
their roosting house alone, about ten
IcWt. per annum, Of the best manure in
the world. Hence, fifty good fowls
Twill make more than enough manure
for an acre Of land, seven cWt., being
the usual quantity applied per acre;
land poultry manure being even richer
than guanO in ammonia and fertilizing
salts. The other stock will give an
actual return in this way, and these
figures demand careful attention from
the large farmer. The manure, before
using, should be mixed with twice it's
bulk Of earth. and then allowed to
stand in a heap, covered with a few
inches of earth, till decOmposed
throughout, when it makes the very
best rnanue that can be had. -An1ericd92
