Let as tell the Legislature in a
nut shell how to settle the State
debt. Let them agree to levy a
tax of 40 cents (all parties are will
ling to this) set apart so much of
IL as may be necessary to pay cur
rent expenses, and the balance to
meet the interest upon and retire
our bonds. Then appoint a com
mission of business men, private
citizens, who with the Governor
and Comptroller shall arrange the
details of settlement with the cred
itors. IL the revenue thus derived
should he insufficient to meet the
interest at first let it be understood
that the creditors will wait for the
increase which is sure to follow very
speedily. In a very few years this
rate OF taxation will afford sink
ing fund which will enlarge from
year to year as the value of taxable
property increases, until finally the
debt can be paid without being felt.
Now take our advice, We Solons,
and settle this matter like sensible
men, and not like children.

The late MIR. W, one of the leading
business men of Cincinnati, was strongly
opposed to the use of intoxicating liquor
as beverage, in his gentle, quaint way

mon.
lie received one day visit from Judge
C of st. Louis, who then held the first
place among the learned jurists of the West,
and who was, besides, brilliant mau of the
world, kind-hearted, brave, and loyal to his
friendships.
MIR. W showed him over his manu-.
factory, and his admiration was especially
excited by the intricate machinery, much of
which was of brass, finely polished,-a work
of art as of use.
That evening the friends dined together
at MIR. VS. hotel. Judge c. drank
TO excess. Observing his friends grave,
keen eyes upon him, he said, gayly,-
" You do not take brandy, W."
"No.'
"Nor wine :"
"No."

But began thirty years ago. drank as a
boy at my fathers table. drank as
young man, and drink as an old one. 1t
is trifiing fault, if you choose to call it a
fault, and will hurt nobody but myself. II
1t has not harmed me in thirty years, l have
no cause for fear"
Mr. W bowed gravely, but made no
reply.
When dinner was over, he said, ave had
an accident in our mills an hour after you
left Will you walk up with me 2"
They reached the mills in few minutes.
One side of the wall had fallen in. The
exquisite, costly machinery was hopeless
wreck. Two or three workmen had been
crushed in the ruin, and laborers were dig
ging to find the bodies.
"Horrible" cried c.. "That machin-
cry was so fine and massive, l thought it
would last an age"
YES" said W, slowly, "bui there ,cas

workmen thought of no Importance. | have
used it many years in safety. But the flaw
was there and has done its work at last"
Judge C--'s face lost its color. He was

"The Classical CONTROVERSY

The Examiner and Chronicle Of New York,
noticing work with the above title, by
Professor Balm of Edinburgh, makes the
following extract, the editor saying that he
is himself very much inclined to accept
Professor Bain's conclusion as there ex.
pressed. AS it also comedies with the
views frequently expressed in these columns,
we give it, feeling that we are in very good
company;
"Among the adherents of classics, Pro-
fessor Blackie is distinguished for surren-
dering their study in the case of those that
cannot profit by them. He believes that
with free alternative, they would still
hold their ground, and bear all their pres
ent fruits. His classical brethren, however,
do not in general share this conviction.
They seem to think that if they can no
longer compel every university graduate to
pass beneath the double yoke of Rome and
Greece, these two illustrious nationalities
will be in danger of passing out of the popu-
lar mind altogether. For my own part do
not share their fears, nor do think that,
even on the voluntary footing, the study of
the two languages will decline with great
rapidity.
"The thing that stands to reason is to
place the modern and the ancient studies on
exactly the same footing; to accord a fair
field and no favor. The public will decide
for themselves in the long run. If the class.
ical advocates are afraid of this test, they
have no faith in the merits of their own case. y

may sometimes be best. But as the soluble
parts of the manure are washed into the
ground by rains, and need to be held in So
luton by the water which penetrates the
soil in order that they may be taken up by
the feeding roots Of plants, the best result
is generally obtained by applying them upon
the surface and mixing them with the soil
by surface tillage.
Question-What is the best season for
applying manures
Answer-Stable manures generally give
the best results when spread upon the soil
in the fall The rains and melting SHOWS
carry their soluble parts into the ground
and distribute them evenly through all the
soil, thus enabling the roots of young plants
to find abundant nutriment at once. But
with artificial fertilizers made of easily SOL
uble materials, application at or near the
time of planting is most effective. As re-
CARDS the indirect fertilizers, as their action
is usually slow and longcontinued, they
may be applied either in spring or fall as
most convenient.
Quesiion--Is there any other mode of fer
tilization ?
Answer-Yes. Plants, instead of being
rotted down in moist heaps (composts) or
passed through the digestive organs of ami
mails, may be turned under by the pillow
where they grew, for the improvement of
the soil. In this way deeprooted plants
and plants that grow through a long season,
like clover, may be used to gather food for
shallow-rooted crops that make their growth
quickly, like wheat The discovery of this
fact and its application has been one of the
greatest Improvements in practical agricul.
ture, but is yet far too little known or used

What are we TO think of a law which
authorizes and encourages business which
is constantly throwing temptation in the way
of the best OF our citizens. Is it not the true
policy Of government to save men and not to
destroy them Then why is the manufac-
ture and sale of this vile stuff tolerated !?
Are there not hundreds of thousands slain by
it annually? Is it not the undisputed cause
Of fve-sixths of the crimes that are coin-
mitted? Has it not dismantled thousands
of the homes in the land, and turned its help
less and impoverished inmates upon the
street, to subsist upon public charity 2 Is it
not prolific cause of insanity and suicide 7
Who can deny it Yet Notwithstanding
these truths have been staring us in the face
for years, and We have the living evidence
of them Keeling around us every day, the law
protects the internal traffic, and grave judges
ON the bench issue their licenses, under the
seal OF the court, that men may continue
this work of murder, butchery, insanity
beggary, poverty, rags and suicide at every
corner OF our streets.

T. Versus II.

Brother Tinkhaln says, in his courteous
manner, " il is vastly encouraging to find
out there is one thing the doctor doesn't
know precisely" Now we should be glad
if we could know one other thing precisely
which we find very difficult to get informa-
ton about. Aud that is which side Brother
Tinkham is on regarding the need of farm
ers generally for a better education. Taking
us to task in one column, after quoting
some of our writing on the subject, he says;
" Through all these and kindred utterances
runs the idea of the farmers ignorance. of
his business, general lack of mental capa-
city and ability, as generally accepted, and
that education, agricultural education, is
The one thing useful" He then goes on to
quote all that New England farmers have
done since the landing of the Pilgrims to
prove that education is not necessary to
great achievements. This is all conceded,
and goes without saying; but it proves
nothing against the idea that New England
farmers, having made so good a use of what
knowledge they have had, could produce
still greater results if they had still greater
knowledge. Here he is, decidedly on one
side of the question, and where we always
find him when there is any chance to give
us dig. But consistency thou art
a jewel" too costly apparently, for Brother
Tinkham to wear. In the very next column
telling how he was able to show the Caledo
MIA county farmers how the thing ought to
be done at their recent blowing match, he
says I'VE watched the match with much
interest, and saw that none of the plows
were doing as good work as they were capa-
BILE of doing, by reason of the improper
manner in which the teams were hitched to
them, and we said as much. Some one re.
marked that an agricultural editor should
be able to show how the thing should be
done, at which there was laugh of incre
dulity. As described, we did plow four fur
rows, and with pillow we never used before,
having first hitched up the horses as we
thought they should be, and with the result
named. From this Incident may be drawn
two suggestive ideas first, that oftentimes
farmers fail of getting the best work from
their tools by not handling them properly,
for which the tools are blamed, when the
fault is entirely in the user Second, the
idea generally among farmers and others,
that agricultural editors have no practical
acquaintance with farm work. That such is
the case, the tone of the crowd at the match,
when it was suggested that the editor should
pillow, and the establishment shown when he
was found able to do it, plainly shows. Has
the idea good foundation in fact ?"
We are glad, at least that our critical
friend has discovered that some farmers are
ignorant of some things which can be taught
them by competent instructor. We NOM
mate him to the professorship of tillage in
our Agricultural College.
