THE SOLID SoUTH.-"Why the South
is Solid is question discussed editorially
by the New York Sun, independent, which,
in its issue of Thursday, says: The South.
ern States have been kept united politically
by the aggressive course, the gross iujus-
tice, and the wilful misrepresentation of tho
Republican managers, whose scheme is to
soliiify the North by exciting sectional
prejudice, and thus prolong their possession
OF power. 1t is game they are playing
and nothing but game"
There is much of truth in this, but the
Suns argument is at fault when it goes on
to say: Take away this pressure and
allow natural causes to operate in their own,
way, and it would be entirely beyond the
power of the Democracy to hold the South
together"
That depends. The South became solid
not only by reason of the abuse which has
been heaped upon it, but on account of its
general disgust with Republican methods.
III that party were at once to cease villify-
ing the South and mend its own ways, thero
might be good reason to look for a break
in the solid South, but neither OF these
changes is to be expected. When the Re-
will lose its grip on the North when it
mends its ways and begins to practice equity
and to be honest, it will cease to be tho
Republican party; its present Leaders will
desert it and there will be such an Infusion,
Of new material into it as to change it's gen.
eral composition. Under existing eondi.
tions change in its policy is not to bo
thought of, for these reasons, as the San
puts it: The Republican organization
has been kept alive since its true mission
was ended by the use of the public patron
age and by a sectional crusade against tho
South. Its leaders are now struggling
with desperate energy to hold on 30 tho
treasury and to the offices four years longer.
They will not scruplc to employ any means,
however violent, corrupt or dangerous, to
retain this power. And they have tho
whole machinery Of the government to op-
crate with, creature Of their own in the
White House, ready to obey orders, and
John Sherman to manipulate the returns,
with the experience Of 1876 to guide hiu,."
They will, it is true, resort to any device,
after the election, if it is against them, to
nullify the verdict of the people, as they
did in 1877, but their main hold for carry
ing the election will be the scctisnal issue.
1t has served them most excellent purpose
this fall and they will not abandon it-es-
pecially since it is the only issue they have
1t they should carry the country on it next
year, it will b. more violently rung into
the people with each succeeding election
than it ever has been before, and with the
increasing violence Of the cry will come.
increased solidity to the South. The only
remedy for it, the only way to stop it, is
Democratic ascendancy in the nation The
people will then, under n truly bcnefcent
government, see the fasity and the wicked
ness of the issue, and the period of sectional

Besides pruning the head or top OF a
tree, pruning the roots Is sometimes
practlced TO induce fruitfulness IN trees
that are IN either too rich a soil or In a
soil that Is very poor. When planted
IN too rich q soil, fruit trees are apt 10
make too strong a growth and run too
much TO wood. Pruning the tops or
heads OF the trees in such cases does not
make them fruitful, but has a tendency
70 aggravate the trouble by causing the
tree TO throw out large numbers Of new
shoots In directions where they are not
wanted. To counterfeit this a trench
about 10 inches or two feet wide and Of
corresponding depth, according 10 the
age and size Of the tree, should be dug
out half way round the tree, the roots
should be carefully pruned with a sharp
knife, and the trench filed up with fresh
soil, but Of poorer quality, rotted sods
or the surface soil of an old meadow be-
ing excellent for this purpose; this
new soil must be firmly trodden
down as it Is thrown in. The next
season the same operation must be per-
formed on the other half of the circle.
The distance Of the trench from the
OF the tree must be governed by
the spread of tie branches and the age
OF the tree; generally the trench may be
dug at one-third or one-half the spread
Of the tree-in young trees nearer than
IN older ones. If the soil is naturally
poor and can not be readily enriched ! 10
any other way, this operation will also
be OF great service, only filling up the
trench with rich soil, or that more suit

WYOMING.
Her Varied Interests and Attractions.

II CATTLE BUSINESS.
From Gov. Hoyt's report.
There is still another consideration
to be borne in mind: Wyoming holds a
geographical position at the very front
of the cattle-producing states and terri
tories north, west, and southwest of it.
With Montana, Idaho, Washington,
Oregon, and Utah, transportation is
and must continue to be an important
matter. Imean to say Wyoming has
the advantage of nearness to market
for cattle ready to be shipped, and of
being the great intermediate grazing
ground for such young cattle as her
citizens may wish to buy, and as it is
found by original owners more profta-
BILE to sell at that g than to mature
and ship at great expense by rail.
Again, it Is no small advantage to be
at the very back-door of those great
corn-growing states of the Missouri
valley, whose grain can be had at a very
low price and turned to such excellent
account as a means of improving the
quality of our beef. The time is at
hand, 1 think, when the stock-men of
Wyoming will learn that greatly in
creased profits can be made by driving
the thriftiest and most promising of
their CRASHED and nearly matured cat
tie down to Nebraska, OF even to send
them still farther east and have them
fed for SO much per pound or per hun
dred pounds added to their weight by
such feeding.
1t will be inferred from the forego-
ing that winter-feeding of cattle and
horses here is unnecessary. This is
probably now the general understand
ing wherever there is anything like a
correct idea Of the conditions of sue
cessful ~stock-raising in this territory.
Of sheep it is only true in part. They
often go through the winter without a
spear of hay, but as they. are constitu-
tionally more delicate than cattle and
less able to provide themselves with
grass in case of heavy snow-falls than
horses, every prudent stock-man will
make provision accordingly.
There are two general methods of
conducting the cattle business here.
The first, and hitherto the most COM
mon, is the grazing method, pure and
simple. The person proposing to en-
bark in the business selects his location
on some stream where he can always
be sur of water, builds a cabin or sub
stantial house as his means and pleas
ure appear to warrant, erects a stable
for his horses, and his strong Enclosures
(called s'corrals'0 in connection, for
convenience in handling such of his
cattle as need special attention-for
branding, &c.-or purchases all these
ready prepared, and then proceeds to
gather in his herds. This he may do
by purchasing those driven in from
Texas. Montana, Oregon, or Washing
ton, and offered for sale, or he may go
to those sections himself and select his
cattle, driving them to his range or
having them delivered according to the
terms of his purchase. Sometimes the
first plan will turn put better, some
times the latter, the result turning
upon various circumstances to be care
fully considered at the time.

Reform schoo, Improvements.

Under the efficient management of Super. intendent Howe of the State Reform School, extensive alterations and improvements are being made about the grounds of the school. On the slope just north of the building the foundations of the large greenhouses are be- ing built They will each be seventy five feet In length, and used for the purpose of grow ing early vegetables and flowers. All the ap. pie and other fruit trees, on the strip of land opposite the school and running east to Col ony street, are being cut down, to make room for @ lawn, to be laid out in avenues and dot ted with flower plots. The land south of the main building is to be arranged into parade ground for the boys. A large flag pole will be placed in the centre of the square. A sub- stantial fence will be placed along Colony.st, and the grounds facing Chestnut-st will also be enclosed Next week several acres of Strawberry plants will be set out, and the coming season it is expected that 50 acrrs win be devoted to the production of veg. etables.-Post.

Misery loves company" and there is noth ing so consoling to the average human as the consciousness that his neighbors are as un- fortunate aud miserable as himself Secreta- " Evarts understood this philosophy and &C., cordingly he directed the United States con- suls to gather statistics on the wages and la- bor question in the several countries in Europe, to show that the laborer there is O good deal worse of than the laborer here. The reports are soon to be pubi he'd and cover every phase of the question, viz: the rates of wages, the hours of labor, the habits of the working people and their manner of living, capital and labor strikes, drinking, trades unions, socialism, communism etc They show
 l. That wages in the UniteI States are double those in Belgium, Denmark, France and England, three times those of Germany, Italy and Spain, and four times those of the Netherlands
 g. That the prices of the necessaries of life are lower in the United States than in Eu- rope, and that the laborer in the United States were he satisfied with the scanty and miserable fare upon which the European Ia borer must live, can purchase like food for less money than it can be purchased for in Europe.
 3. That the French working people, with far less wages, are happier than the working people of Great Britain, who receive the high est wages in Europe on account of the stead mess and the economical habits of the former and the strikes, drinking habits and the con- sequent recklessness of the latter.
 { That more misery results from strikes, drinking, socialism, and communism in Eng land and Germany than from all other causes combined, hard times included.
 1t may be objected by some that it is not exactly fair to compare the laborers of the United States with the pauper laborers of Europe who have bsen struggling for centur- ies under the feudal system and despotism of the old world, but then it is some comfort to know that we have company in our misery. even fl it is composed of the miserably poor and unfortunate. So let us hear no more croaking but thank our stars that we are not a other men-o7er in Enrope.
