How base the deed that will strike an
Indian down and cast fire-brand into

The injustice of Withholding titles to
homesteads on the reservations of not
securing to the Indian his home in
law, causes the same peril to commune
ties on the frontier. In fact there is no
safety for any man, white or black or
copper-colored, except under the pro-
lection of law. This flag of law, instead
of war, ought to have been thrown over
the Indian long ago. The cost and diff
ticulty Of doing it now, and of turning
him from war. will be great; yet it must
be done, and that soon. or the next offer

TIMBER THIEVES.
Government agents recently returned
from the Parish Of Calcasien. in Ack-
lens district, Louisiana, represent the
actual facts about the depredations upon
the government timber there rs being
more astounding than anything that
has been published. In one place
there were sixteen saw-mills whose sole
occupation was the manufacture of tim
Der from logs cut from the government
reservation. One old timberman testified
that parties had been engaged in cut
ting timber from the government reser-
walton for fifty years. Very few mill
owners have taken the trouble to enter
or purchase any Understands, and de.
pend exclusively upon logs stolen from

agents were followed everywhere by

A NEW WORK FOX CHEMISTRY
American Grasses Being Tested with In.
teresting Results.

Prof Collyer, the chemist employed
by the government for the department
of agriculture, is engaged with his as
sistants in making some analyses that
promise to be of considerable impor-
lance to the agricultural interests of the
country. The department has received,
from various parts of the United States,
specimens Of grasses which, having
been ground to a powder, are submitted
to chemical tests to determine their
relative. nutritive value for the purposes
of feeding stock. The grasses now UNI
der examination comprise twelve of the
native varieties of Kansas. None Of
the analyses are yet complete; but the
experiment Of analyzing agricultural
products being now in the United
States, the results of the ones now in
progress are awaited with interest.
One of the first tests applied to these
grasses is that of incarceration, or burn
ing, their organic substance being con-
sumed. The nutrltive value Of the
grasses are in some inverse proportion
to the inorganic or on-nutritive mat
ter which remains after the fire. One Of
the western grasses already tested in
this manner has been founu to contain
less than II per cent. of the alkaline or
non-nutritive substance. Subsequent
tests are made for the purpose OF de-
termining the varying proportions Of
starch, sugar, albumen, etc., contained
in the grasses.
According to investigations made by
Prof COllyer, there grow within the linz
its Of the United States not less than
twelve hundred varieties of grasses,
the New England states alone furnish
ing about two hundred varieties. Prof.
COllyer mentions, rs curious fact
showing the limited attention which
has hitherto been given to agricultural
chemistry in the United States) that al
most no analysis of even the common
cereals-co-n, wheat, and rye-have
been made by American chemists, our
knowledge of the results of such analy-
ses coming from England and Germany.
He also thinks that the meadow lands
of New England, which have become
barren from being kept constantly sown
with one variety of grass, could be
made abundantly productive again by
being treated to some other of tho null
titudinOus varieties, which after investi-
CATION, would probably be found adapt
ed to the present condition of the soil.
At present, he asserts, the chemical as
sistance at his disposal is wholly made
quate to undertake investigations Of
this kind.

may fortify the Balkans amounts to
nothing, as other arrangements leave
Russia's road open to turn that line
of defense at will and at vastly less

Cured or is likely to occur
changing the fact that Turkey hence
forth will be Russia's ally or vassal, and
not England's. The absolute security
for England, which Beaconsfield set out
to obtain, is an impossible chimera.
Russia, in the person of her Turkish
vassal, stands on the Bosphorus, and
will stand there after the British forces
have returned homeward. Then her
action or inaction will be dependent
upon Russia's will or policy alone. She
will not long wear any diplomatic yoke
which she finds burdensome. These
are facts which had better be accepted
by all who desire to forecast the new
maps of Russia and Turkey, and what
is to follow their readjustment.

form of silver certificates, which have
come back into the treasury in the

outstanding only about 100000 in
silver certificates. The treasury has
already received nearly five millions in
silver for custom dues. Treasurer Gil

the aggregate of customs will be nearly

he expects twenty millions of silver

getting them into circulation.

Of England, in raising its rates of discount for
the purpose of checking the export of gold,
our writer says:
1t would startle the community if propo-
sal were made to impose duty upon the ex-
port of the precious metals. Yet under the
present system such an expOrt-duty upon gold
is actually levied, only the proceeds go to the
Bank instead OF to the State. Whenever any
considerable or it may be inconsiderable, ex-
port of gold takes place, the Bank raises its
rate OF discount. e., II makes the merchants
who want gold for export pay an extra charge
for 1t. 1nls IS an lmpost upon the export OF
gold quite Us real and direct as the export
duty which used to be occasionally levied by
Governments in the middle ages. Only, as
we have said, the profits 60 to the Bank IN
stead of to the Government. But the present
system is really far worse, infinitely worse,
than if an export-duty were levied upon gold
An exporJ-duty only affects the exporters, a
mere handful of individuals: and it makes
only those who want the gold pay the IN
creased charge for it. Whereas, under the
present system, the whole community taxed
alike whenever an export Of gold takes place
Not merely the few merchants who require to
send gold abroad, but the whole mercantile
and manufacturing classes suffer. In fact, the
entire community Is compelled to pay the
same charge though they do not want gold at
all . The high Bank rate which is charged for
the purpose of checking the export Of gold, is
levied not merely upon the gold-eXporters, bQt
upon the whole community. THU, the pres
ent system is tenfold, indeed a hundredfod,
more injurious than if the antiquated system
