man, some ) or miles southwest of the
city, could not but compare the result
of the luxuriant growth of these walnuts
with the occasional sickly, stunted speci-
men seen in the city lots. In and about
town trees must suffer to be hide-bound
and retarded in their growth to al
low little blue grass to be raised. How
much more sensible would it be if the
trees were first well established before
attempting to raise grass in a yard. No
trees will respond more freely to good,
kind treatment than the walnut, and in
Kansas they begin to bear at about z
years of age. A lot of nuts had ship

of 1870, are reported in the Gardner's
Monthly, as having produced fruit quite
freely in 1873, and these trees of SIR.

it is not worth while to plant the other,

LET THE CURRENCY ALONE

The proposition of the president and
the secretary of the treasury to repeal
the legal tenderquality of the greenback
T.ntf-stof the coinage of silver has al.
ready called forth an indignant response
from members of their own party. On
Tuesday three resolutions were introduc-
ed, by senator Carpenter and by repre-
sentatives Fort, of Illinois, and Price, of
iowa, all declaring that the present laws
concerning the currency should not be
changed or disturbed. And we are
gratified to learn that these resolutions
appear to represent the opinion of a very
large majority of the Republican men,
bers.
Let the currency alone. Stop tinker.
ing with the currency laws. The coun
try is getting along well enough It can
dispense entirely with the prescriptions
of financial doctors, from the president
and secretary down. The people are
satisfied with the currency as it is. The
greenback is as good as gold, and the
$500 ,O00, 900 of greenbacks now outstand-
ing are necessary. They are far more
popular, as currency, than either gold
or silver They can easily be kept at
par. Let them alone. This sentiment.
we believe, is the almost unanimous
opinion of the country, and congress
men would do well TO heed it.-Atchison

Exaggerated Reports.

1t seems that the reports that have
been circulated from time to time in
regard to strikes and labor difficulties
at the cotton factory of James Riddle
Sons 4 Go. Oh the Brandywine, have
been greatly exaggerated. We are as
sured that there has been no difficulty
at any time with any considerable
number of workmen, and the report of
strikes among the dyers only extended
to three or four boys, who were dis
charged, and that no inconvenience has
been experienced in any departme mt, as
when hands left their places have been
Immediately filled by others, and no
mills in the country have been more
steadily employed for the past twenty
years. The report in regard to an in.
adequate supply of warps was entirely
unwarranted, as they make over ton
day, and are prepared for all and any
business emergencies.

The Money Rarrels

A correspondent of Cincinnati says
notwithstanding reports to the contra
ry, there is now good ground for saying
that Tilden and Ewing have reached a
perfect understanding, that includes
most liberal provisions for money for
the Ohio campaign ty the Tiiden crowd
at the East. There is to be on the part
of these Eastern allies outward op-
position to the financial ideas of the
Ewing platform for the purpose Of
keeping the Eastern hard. money DEM
orrats quiet, but the alliance formed is
one made for 1880, and it has progress
ed so far that in case Ewing can be
elected in Ohio, Tilden will not oppose
his being placed on the ticket as Vice
President. In fact, there is also good
ground for the statement that the
eastern managers have reached the con-
clusion that the soft money doctrines
are so deep seated with the Democrats
of the West and South that some such
concession on the part of the Eastern
men as putting Ewing second on the
ticket must be submitted to for the
sake of party unity.

SuDDressing BuIldOZing.

Very prudent and praiseworthy
is the organization of those 800 citizens
of an Arkansas county for the sup
preston of bulldozing and the general
lawlessness and deviltry which have
made night terrible to the men in that
latitude who work for their living and
vote the Republican ticket. But what
is to bpcom. of the Democratic theory
that all these stories of violence by
nightriders are the invention of Re-
publican mythologists The formation
of this novel White League would seem
to prove that bulldozing is looked upon
as serons reality by some competent
observers in Arkansas.
