THE LESSON OF THE CENSUS.

The census is grand educator.
It enables us to take our bearings
see where we are and whittier we are
going. 1t serves as warning to us
tells when to get out of old beaten
paths and how to steer clear of
breakers. A few decades ago, Ten,
nessee was one of the largest corn
producing States in the Union. It
was also one of the most extensive
pork-producing States. Now we
have fallen far behind many of the
great States Of the West Our pro
duction has fallen off largely, while
that of other States has largely in
creased.
We need not tell our farmers that
raising corn doesn't pay. They
know it by hard experience. Accord
ing to the last census, the average
yield of corn per acre in Tennessee,
was only little over 81 bushels per
acre. That it doesn't pay to culti-
vate corn where the yield is no more
than that, requires no demons ration.
We have many farms along our RVS
ers, that will yield large crops of corn
from IS to 100 bushels per acre.
Men who have such farms can afford
to raise corn and hogs. But on our
ordinary uplands, it is sheer folly.
This we are learning, and the sooner
we are convinced of it the better.
The census report will teach US a
valuable lesson.
What then is to be done to make
farming profitable? We must turn
our attention to other crops. We
believe that with proper cultivation,
our soil can be made to yield large
crops of wheat-two Or three times
larger than the present average. In
fact many farmers have demonstrated
this. We have them in Knox County
and we have them elsewhere
They use fertilizers. Barn-yarG
manure is the best of all,-and many
of our farmers could save five time
as much of it as they debut those
who have tried artificial fertilizers
find that it pays largely. We cal
easily increase our crops of whea
and the small grains and must O
necessity do it.
So much has been said about rails
ing the grasses in Tennessee, tina
the subject is little stale. But tn
trouble is, there has been too mucl
talk and too little action. On (
majority of our farmers, more can b.
made, with less labor, by cultivatins
the grasses, than by any other crop
When our farmers give more atten
ton to the improvements of the soil
the cultivation of grasses and grow
ing good stock, they will be eve1
more prosperous, live better ant
easier, and we will regain somsthin,
of what we have lost in the las
thirty years.

A few days ago the newspapers contained
an account of the robbery of eight or ten
thousand dollars from the safe of the county
trustee of Greene County. Burglars had
drilled a small hole in the door of the safe
in such manner that the combination lock
WAS exposed and the lock easily opened. 1t
may be noted, however, that the safe was

sycamore, etc, made speech at the
opening of the Atlanta Exposition,
in which he ventured to lecture his
brethren of the Democratic persua
sion on the folly of the doctrine
enunciated in the last national plat
form-"a tariff for revenue only
Not to put too fine a point upon it,
he plainly intimated that that plank
was the emphatic opposite of wis
dom. Now, it is no secret that the
brilliant editor CT the Courier-Jour-
nal was himself the author of that
plank, and he could not afford to al
low the plain utterances to pass I'M
noticed. And he does notice them
to the tune of more than a column
Of editorial. He demonstrates the
ignorance of the Hoosier Senator as
to Democratic platforms. He quotes
from that of 1876, which was pre-
scented by a committee of which Sen
ator Voorhees, was a member, and
which demanded, among a great
many other things, reform in the
revenue service to the extent that
"custom-house taxation shall be for
revenue only" The Courier-J Journal
calls him "perverse gentleman.
and intimates that he is indulging in
political romanticisms' which bis
party associates will not tolerate.
He closes his lecture in the following
spirited language:
"He may imagine, if he likes, that
there is some sentimental reason why
the plundered South may recover
and get even by joining the West
and adopting the system of pillage
which has enriched the East. But
he will find that licensed robbery
does not grow more attractive as it
goes southwark, and he will learn
that successful oligarchism in Yanl-
iceland furnishes no argument for its
continuation and perpetuation in
Dixieland. Pillage is just as odious
in George. as in Massachusetts; and
if the future of the South rested up
on no better hope than repetition
Of the ubiquitous legislation which
has made the manufacturing district:
af New England neutral territory fo1
rapine, and converted the populact
thereof into q bandit class and {
pauper class, one-tenth masters anC
nine-tenths slaves, we would still ex

Louisiana Oysters.

With the opening of through
railroad connection to New
Orleans, which is promised in a
short time, by the Southern Pa
-cific and Texas Pacific combinat-
ions, Southern California will be
enabled to reach the Louisiana
oysters beds and We will revel in
a supply of the delicious bivalves
from which we are now depriv-
ed.
The coast of Louisiana abounds
in oyster banks, and a consider
able oyster trade has. been dey-
-eloped at New Orleans, giving
employment to about 2OOluggers,
each manned by from three to
SIX men. The owner is usually
captain, and receives two shares
OF the net proceeds of the sale of
the oysters, one being claimed by
the boat and one for himself.
Every man on board then receiv-
tes share each In payment for
his services, and he has to pay
his board or for his share of the
expenses incurred in the purcha-
Sc of provisions. A trip usually
consumes from four to seven
days.
The oysters are taken by tong
ing. During the summer and
early fall the supply is for the
most part the small and watery
"raccoon" or basin oysters, from
Saline Bay, Grand Isle and Bara>
taria Bay. The price ranges from
Sl25 to So a barrel. A better
quality is received later from Ba-
you Cook. These oysters have
been transplanted during the
summer from Saline Bay and
natural beds elsewhere, and are
fatter and better favored than
the natives. Bayou Cook oysters
fetch from 50 80 to $500 a barrel
Owing to the shortness of the
orange crop this year a large
number of fruit luggers will be
transferred to the oysters traffic.
The wholesale oyster houses in
New Orleans give employment
to upwards of 500 hands.
