An Attack upon Labor.

An attack upon railroads like at
tacks upon all other species of proper
ty, is an attack upon labor, aud more
particularly common labor, because
the road, from the time the first pick
Or shovel is put into the ground until
it is completed, equipped aud ready to
be put in operation, represents Only
labor aud labor largely of the most
common kind. After it is construct
and equipped it has no usefulness, no
earning capacity except labor, and ia a
large part common labor is applied to
il. Its benefits, whether to those who
use it, who ride upon it, who freight
directly The results of labor. While
labor enters SO largely into its MANAGE
ment, in its development of the re-
sources of the country, in its aifording
the means of transportation from re
mote distances, in the facilities it gives
for the Interchange OF commodities, it
is also creative of labor, ofempioy-
ment, beyond that Of any other labor
saving machine OF the world. The
railroad is peculiar in that, above
some other property, il finds its own
greatest prosperity in aiding the
development of the industries aud the
resources of the country and its pro-
ductions. No wise man viii ever
knowingly approve OF any law that
absolutely or approximately prohibits
its construction or successful opera
ton. eT-Gororaor Stomford's |

The object IN obtaining more specific
information is to enable one to do
better what he can perhaps now de-
very well. The more one knows about
the principles which underlie the pro-
fession he is following for livelihood
the better he ought to be able TO do. it
and succeed in it.
Theory and practice are both good.
In the vigorously contested race of
life we must rely on practice. Both
should therefore be combined in our
system of education. in the sense of a
specific education, for. the better ac-
complishment OF practical rsults.
Sentimental and fanciful theories
must give way to the practical.
We have had enough of the superf-
cial system of education. What we
want now is a system that will be
practical and pave the way for paying
results, and to secure these we must
be efficient workers and know why
this or that theory produced or failed
to produce desired results.
The farmers boy should now have
educa tional advantages as would ena-
bic him to work old and nearly worn
out lands and obtain remunerative
crops from them. True the clay soils
in this or the adjoining States may not
be seriously exhausted, except, per-
haps, of one or two elements, yet there
is but one best way of restoring them.
These lands must be restored or the
young man will abandon them for
more distant aud fertile lands, and the
community will lose one Of its most
valuable elements, and the increased
impoverishment of the soil will be
continued.
In the dissection of specific education
every young farmer should have sufii-
cient knowledge of mineralogy and
geology to understand the compost
ton of the soil he is to cultivate. He
should also have such knowledge OF
chemistry as will enable him to ascer-
tain what plant food the soil requires
in order to make it produce remuner-
atiyc crops.
sit is fact" says Professor circuit,
(which is beyond controversy, that
every farmer who isignorant of chem
istry, works in The dark, and Is liable
to misapply his labor and lose all"
The mistake of mixing quick lime
with ammoniated mauures will suffice
10 show the Importance of correct
knowledge Such information coupled
with the practical knowledge of
where aud how TO till the soil, would
be one step forward in the onward
march to grogress, and show by pay
ing results that brain work is the most
citing and best ally of hand work Oh

What Immigration is Doing.
Yours truly,
a. Il. NowLoN

What wonderful change has oc-
Cured in the West in few years.
The writer of these lines travelled
through the Missouri river country in
the winter and spriug Of 1876 on
horseback, at which time there was
not a railroad in the State OF Nilsson
ri north of the river, aud when ali
such places as Quincy, Hannibal, 81.
Joe, Kansas City, Leavcnworth. etc,
were reached by boat. Kansas City at
that time had only 500 inhabitants,
and was known as Independence Land
ing, and the Free State men aud pro.
slavery border-ruflians were at war as
to whether Kansas should become a
free or slave State. Since then Kan
sas, Nebraska, Nevada and Colorado
have been admitted as States, and sew
eral Territories have been marked out
and settled from the public domain.
Where all was trackless waste al
that day, grid-iron network of rail-
reads is now TO be seen on the maps.
The whole United States had then On.
iy tweuty-six millions Of people
against forty-six millions now. Chi
cago had only $500 against half a
million now, and ST. Louis only lis,
600 against half million now. There
were then only 1874 miles of railroad
in the Union, against $1,000 now.
Thos. III. Benton, almost SOLITARY and
alone" was lifting up his voice at that
time on behalf OF q railroad to the
Pacific. Now we have three Pacific |
roads, one completed, and two others /
on the way.

Kansas Fruit in Michigan.

At the suggestion Of John McCay.
one Of the entcrprising farmers of Hi
awatha township, Henry Isley secured
some samples of fruit on exhibition
at our late county fair, packed them
well in box and expressed them to
Benton Harbor, Michigan-one of the
acknowledged fruit emporiums of the
West-with request to exhibit the
same at their exposition which came
OF last week. The fruit was cleverly
and cheerfuliy donated by the follow
ing growers: Maj EN- Morrill,, Mcssrs.
|. N. Seaman. Geo. W. Lindlay. A. w.
Craycrart, S. Qaaif, and a few others,
whose names we could not learn.
The fruit reached its intended point
in time and in good shape, and did its
share in advertising Brown county.
The following letter to Mr.. lsley will
show:
Henry Isley, Hiawatha, kansas:
