1t is stated that Dr.. Loring, the new
Commissioner of Agriculture, is stated to
be adverse to the further prosecution OF
tea culture under the protecting wing OF
the Government. And yet LeDuc look
ed with more pleasure and expectation
of future glory on those few tea plants
that he was cultivating, than on all our
crop of corn or wheat. We are afraid
that DR.. Loring is practical man, and it is
a terrible thing to have for Commits
sioner of Agriculture practical man
He IS apt to think too much about such
trifiing things as the wheat, corn or oat
crops and let beet sugar at So so pound
take care of itself. He sometimes puts
potatoes above tea plants, and prefers
onions to bananas. He does not try to
raise oranges in Alasks or apples in Florida;
Take him all in all he may make a good
enough farmer, but for our Commissioner,
gentlemen, we want theory. Theory is
the thing on which we place our Deepen
dance. What do we care about practical
experience
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-07
experience.

THE outcome of the Readjusters' con-
vention in Virginia would indicate that the
new party has considerable vitality, and
the spirit and discipline to make d good
fight. After furious struggle over the
nominations the convention concluded its
work, and the delegates, dropping personal
questions showed an unaffected earnest
ness In their resolve to stand by each other
against the Bourbons The ticket is pro-
nounced satisfactory TO the Readjusters
and to many Republicans, and Senator
Malone viii manage the campaign
Chicago Inter Ocean,
That is the way the Chicago Stalwart
organ speaks of the repudiating party of
Virginia, and it shows that one branch of
the Republican party has not as yet repu-
dated its disgraceful alliance with Malone
1t is pretty hard, now that Logan has de-
serted Conkling, to tell exactly to what
wing the Inter Ocean does belong; but its
own financial heresies make it more or less
friendly to Malone and Virginia repudia
ton; the only difference between
the Inter Ocean doctrine and the
Malone idea being that the
former was anxious to owe without paying,
while the latter is unwilling to owe or pay
a either.
Ia it not about time Cor the better elias.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-07
While the newspapers and politicians Of

While the newspapers and politicians OF
the country are keeping up ridiculous ag
itation and excitement over such an insig
nifcant matter as the election of an indi
vidual to the United States senate, the
extinction of the last line of American
steamships engaged in foreign commerce
has failed to attract the slightest notice
Republic.
The reason of that is, that the election
Of senator is present issue whose battle
has not yet been fought. The extinction
of all lines of American steamers was a
foregone conclusion from the date Of the
Protective Tariff on ships. Let US forget
the senatorships and go back to the subject
of more Importance to us-free ships
and we viii treat of an issue that is of
some practical importance.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-06-07

There is one fact which viii have to be
clearly recognized by some people in this
locality, who are more or less prominent
and busy in local affairs, and that is that
THE ARGUS cannot be bought Whatever
the previous course of this or other news
papers in this neighborhood may
have been, we know not, neither
do we care. The present manage
ment of this paper are conducting it on
what they consider honest and straightfor-
ward principles, and there IS no
consideration outside of those prin-
ciples which win influence US
in the least, in advocating one cause or
opposing another, There has been seve-
raj Instances of offers made us of some ben
eft, pecuniary or otherwise, providing we
would only take this course or that, and it
is certainly time that the people should
understand that the thing cannot be
done. We are simply newspaper, and as
newspaper we propose to conduct our
selves. We can not be bought by this
man or influenced by that. Our duty is
to ourselves and the public; it would be a
saving of time for men with axes to grind
to keep away from US.
