GOVERNOR CRoswELL,s MESSAGE.

The retiring message of Governor
Croswell was read to joint convention
Of the two houses of the Legislature
Thursday afternoon of last week. The
document is quite lengthy and treats in
detail the various interests of the state
and contains recommendations which
will furnish our legislative sOlons food
for thought. The message entire would
occupy more space in our columns than
we have to spare, but the following con-
cire statement from the Detroit Post and
Tribune, of the various points of the
message will give the readers of the
TRIBUNE fair idea of the comprehen-
siveness of the document:
1t shows that Michigan is state with
a sinking fund larger than its bonded
debt, and with money in its treasury
more than sufficient to meet all current
Indebtedness; that during 1880 it pro-
duced 30.983, $40 bushels of wheat Gas well
as similar proportion of other cereals
and fruits( 1880 gross tons of iron
ore, 21,840 net tons of ingOt copper e.
$4,000 bushels of salt, 100000 pounds
of wool, and 3,SOO,OOO.OOO feet of lumber;
that the total value of the property with
in its boundaries cannot be less than ST.
20O,OOO,OOO, and that all its products in
1880 yielded at least $4,000 900; that all
its institutions are flOurishing under
honest and capable management; and
that its railroads have grown to mile
age of 3.918, and that their gross earn
ings in 1880 were Is per cent. larger
than that of 1S79-and this without any
essential increase in rates.
The leading recommendations of the
message are these.
1. That the specific taxes be hereafter
applied to other purposes than swelling
the primary schools fund, in the discre-
ton of the legislature.
2. That the present system of annual
sales of land forl delinquent taxes be
abolished, and that some plan be substi-
tuted for it whereby such lands may
pass to the state or the county and be
held for series of years subject to the
right of redemption by the owner on the
payment of the taxes with interest, fail
ure to redeem within the prescribed

Politics OftEe Future.

We are glad to see that the party
prophets have about subsidized, and
double loaded articles on the polite
al future have altogether ceased. 1t
has been plainly apparent since the
result of the Presidential election was
announced that there to be no new
party, There are no new issues to
demand it, and the fact out Of nearly
ten million votes Gen. Hancock re-
ceived a plurality over Garfield of
three or four thousand demonstrates
the immense strength Of the democ
racy and the absurdity Of talking
about the formation Of new party.
The reorganization of the local Dem
ocracy of New York, where the local
political schism cost us the defeat of
Hancock, is all the party reorganiza-
ZION we want, and if through its inhu-
ence such leaders as Kelly are turned
down forever we need have no appre-
| tensions as to the future of the party.
The battle four years hence is to be
| that of the people, as represented by
| the Democracy, against strong gov
ernment as represented BY Grant, a
partisan Supreme Court, election laws
of the most rigid character and mon
opolies of every conceivable nature
The Democratic party believe that
the real duty Of the Federal Govern
ment is to confer the greatest good
upon the greatest number and not to
pernit class Of monopolists to grow
rich and fatten either by pillagine
the public treasury or by means OF
ass legislation. But while this is
tl,.e we will require in the next cam
paign positive action-not negative
All the living questions must be crap
pied with and a declaration Of prin-
ciples giving every man a fair field
and fair play must be proclaimed and
adhered to. All local dissensions
must be healed, as the honest Demo
crazy of New York has determined to
do, and entire harmony, with united
action, must prevail in the ranks
Nothing can possibly antagonize the
republican party, in so far as its aim
and policy affects the great mass Of
the people, as the party that gave
Gen. Hancock more votes at the late
election than his opponent received
What we want is new men and united
adtion. The party that pledges itself
to the true interests Of the majority
of the people, and fully maintains
those principles, must always live,
and cannot in the end fail to triumph
over an organization mat gives us a
centralized form OF government, cor
rupt in all its departments. Let us
hear no more rubbish about q new
, party,-BolGmorc Gazette.

THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER, "
The NsT-Y.rk TRIBUNE 70. 1851
THE LARGEST CIRCULATION AMONG
THE BEST PEOPLE

During the past year The New York Tribune"
reached the largest circulation it attained with
the single exception Of a short period in the first
Lincoln campaign. II is larger circulation, and
more widely distributed over the whole country than
any ever enjoyed by amy other newspaper in the
United States. This fact may be taken as the YER
dict of the American People on ''The 1ribune's"
political force, its fidelity sound principles and
its merits as a newspaper.
For 1881. "The Tribune" will try to deserve
equally well of the public. It Mill labor for and it
confidently expects the incoming Administration to
promote a free and fair suffrage, North and South
sound money, protection to Home Industry, Judi
cious liberaty in Internal Improvements. and a
Civil Service conductor ON business principles, on
the theory of elevating, not of ignoring or degrad-
ing politics.
The well-known special features of "The Tri-
bune" will be sedulousy maintained. Its Agricul.
tural Department will remain the fullest and best.
The Household and the Young Folks Departments,
the literary, scientific and religious features, the
standard market reports, will all be kept up, and las
opportunity offers, extended.

The Nestvirgfnia senatOrship

The Senatorial struggle in West
/ Virginia is beginning to attract con-
siderable attention. The Legislature
Of the Mountain State will meet and
a Democratic Senator will be chosen.
Democratic Senators are not so plen-
tiful nowadays, and those we have
should be of the right kind Of metal.
The three prominent candidates are
johnson NJ. Camden, Hon. II. NJ
Mathews, and the present United
States Senator Hereford Mr..
Matthews is the present Governor.
Mr.. Camden is infusing a great
deal of life into the canvass and is
making it very interesting for the
other candidates. Mr. Camden resides
at Parkersburg and is one of the Vice
Presidents of the the Standard Oil
Company. He holds the petroleum
eff West Virginia in the palm Of his
hand and, therefore, has "bar'l."
He is astonishing the mountaineers
with his prodigality. He is said to
have established corruption fund to
be used upon members Of the Legis-
lature who can be bought, and to
have gobbled up several newspapers
not without their influence. Mr. Cam
denis heart does not pant for his
country so much as it does for his
Oil Company. His Company has
large interests in West Virginia and
no doubts feel that representative
from that State in the United States
Senate would add largely to the value
of these interests. The Standard is
right in this opinion. 1t is said that
Camden receives from the Standard,
not taking into consideration his
share of the profits, $4,000 q year.
In the event of his election to the Sen
ate, the Company could afford to
double his salary many times over.
He represents no interests but the
Standard Oil Company, in whose
glory, along with the glory of all other
gigantic corporations, he no dosbt
has abiding faith. One thing mast
be said in favor of Camden. He is
a shrewd business man, in proof Of
which we point to the successful con
summation Of his scheme whereby he
received freight rebate over the B.
81 Q. Railroad to the detriment Of all
other shippers Of oil. In addition to
the gentlemen above mentioned, the
names of Judge Brannon, William A.
Quarter and ex-Congressman Faux
ner have been brought forward. The
latter gentleman has announced that
he is not candidate at this time
and there appears no be no particu-
lar boom for Quarter or Judge Bran
non, although both are good men.
AS we have said the three prominent
candidates are Mathews, Camden,
and Hereford. West Virginia will
do herself credit if she selects Gov
ernor Mathews as her next Uuited
States Senator. His public and pri
vate character are absolutely without
stain, and his public service has been
of that conservative nature as would
as would stamp him man of broad
views. AS West Virginia's Senator,
he secure an influence for the State
and gain it that attention which it
naturally deserves. He appears to
be the man above all others for the
place.-Cin. Enquirer.

DOES SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAY?-
One is every day hearing of enor-
nous crops Of various farm and gar
den products raised in different parts
of the country; such as y bushels of
pumpkin seed corn from 10 square
rods of ground, and 2 bushels | peck
Il pounds Of early squash potatoes
from plot 10 by 153 feet, DC, &c.
But we have a boy here in Kanawha,
9 years, months and a few days old,
that has produced larger comparative
results, in the way Of small farming
or gardening, than any enc we have
heard of on either side of the Allan
tic. Last spring whilst his father
was planting bed Of onions, little
Caoutchouc, Chat is the boys name,
asked for one of the 'sets," which
was gladly given to him by his ia
Their, whose back was nearly broken
from STOPPING to put in his crop, and
the relief Of getting rid of even one
was accounted 10y him us being very
great. Well, little G. took his "set"
and set it out in a carefully prepared
plot Of ground, exactly three inches
square; he placed it in the centre;
he watched it; he manfred it; he
stuck sticks around it to keep the
hens from scratching it up: he occa-
sionally pulled it up to see if it was
growing; in fact, he did everything
that the most skillful horticultural
nurse conld have done for his silver
skinned pet. AS the days passed,
and the rains descended, and the sun
shone, and May day and 4th of July
and dog-days came and passed, his
PCT grew and waXed strong and
spread itself in every direction until
it spread over the whole nine square
inches, and when harvest time came,
c. harvested it; pulled it up; topped
it; washed it, took it to market,
weighed it and found it netted 4
ounces avoidupois to hair. and sold
it for Il bright, new copper cent.
Now, we have calculated carefully
the product per acre at the rate of
the crop actually raised, and find
that it would be 69G,9G0 onions,
weighing Ia, 240 pounds, making
1904 bushels Of GO pounds to the
hushel, and at one cent for each on
ion, the price actually realized by
the young farmer, the acres product
would be worth $6,969.60. Now,
talk about your Kansas prairies and
Mississippi bottoms. West Virginia
can discount them. Next.-Kdn-
