bonds is now being taken into the tolls
For number of years the city has dodg-
ed the efforts of the bondholders to get
a grip upon the taxable property by
running the city government short hand

resigning after holding one meeting.
The United States deputy marshall has
lately served writ of mandamus on
these officials trusting to some legal glue
to make it stick. The city has offered
at various times to compromise the mat
ter with the bondholders in order to be
rid of the burden imposed upon its on

no satisfactory settlement was arrived at
in either instance. owing to the rapaeity
of portion OF the holders who were
determined to extract the last cent OF
blood money.

In his address to the jury on the Star
Route cases on Wednesday, Attorney Gen.
eral Brewster, speaking of Dorsey aud 9TH
ers said: How had thts men come togeth-
er from ali parts OF the country? Was it
from divine impulse. No. Their object
was conceived in corruption and executed
in the same wicked spirit Their object
was to plunder. Referring to the statement
made by Boone that the books of the
concern were kept on the graveyard
nous with the star route principlc dawn
among the dead men. It was etter
that the defendan should hide themselves
in the penitcntiary than to face the odium
which is to follow them through life. In
ancient Assyria it was the custom wh.n
man and woman were detected in adultery
to kill the woman and chain her dead and
fostering body to the man. and he went
abou' saying: ''Oh, wretched man that I
this DEATH" Aeous I'll these n mem ene and eody tbe %,
fostering body OF their atrocious crime COM
mitted against the whole community would
hang around their necks, and they would
cry out: "Oh, wretched man that l am!
Who will deliver lie from the body of this
death?" The jury might give Steven w.
Dorsey certificate that the charges were not
true, but he knew that the body Of that death
would hang round him while life lasted.
The jury had been told that a verdict of
guilty would bring sorrow and tears and des-
olation and wretchedness to honored people"
The jury had heard IngersoH to-day, with
impreSsiveness which drew tears to the
eyes of many, depict the horrors and ter
ro,s which hung round these people; and
while this was going on whenever there was
. ribald remark or joke Brady sat laugh
ing. Right at the door Of the pcnitentiarv
he could sit and laugh at ribaldry and Jokes.
He had the hide ola rhinocerous. When

The value Of the farms Of the United
States is estimated at nine thousand,
six hundred and fifteen million dollars,
nearly as much as both the railways
and manufactures together. This>esti-
mate does not include farm buildings
or stock. If these were added, the
total would be much more than that
of both railways and manufactures.
Moreover, the value of the farm pro-
ducts for 1880, nearly two thousand
millions, justities much higher valua-
ton of the farm property. Including
the stock, buildings, implements, and
all that may fairly be included under
the head Of farm property, the valu-
able property exceeds twice that of
of both railways and manufactures.
Everything, after all, depends upon
the farmers. People can live without
railways; they did for some thousands
Of years, and never missed them,
though they would find it very lncon-
venient to DO without them now.
People could even live for awhile with
out manufactures, that is to say, with
out the organized system of manufac-
lures of the present day. At least that
is conceivable, but one cannot even
imagine the impossibility of living with
out the produce of the soil. Bread and
meat in some way or other mankind
must have, and only the farmer can
supply them.

Mr.. Justice Field Of the United States
Sspreme court, has recently made some
decisions in California that arc severe.
ly criticised in that state. Judge Field
appears to be u sort of legal iconoclast
TO him Is traceable the notion that
he passage Of law by the State of
California prohibiting the importation
Of a certain class Of Chinese women
was an infraction of the constitution,
which conferred the exclusive power
to regulate commerce on congress.
Under this, ruling an importation of
the vilest character became invested
with the dignified name of commerce.
Judge Field also is to be credited with
the opinion that it is proper and right
to crop white mans hair who is COM
mitted to prison, in the interest of hy-
giene, whereas no such operation can be
performed ON Il Chinaman. Under
Fields decisions have fallen sections OF
the state constitution, acts Of congress,
acts Of the legislature and city ordi-
nances. The Bulletin, very mild and
conservative paper says of these things:
1T was a saying OF Beranger, that he
did not care who made the laws if he
had the making of the songs Of the peo-
pie. The modern rendering is that it
makes no difference who make the
laws if ore only had the expounding
of them"
