sustaining no other relation to each
other than ownership of neighbor-
ing lands imposes as to the right
OF one to plant on his own soil. II
may be an incident Of the social
state and contiguity of territory,
that each owner must bear the con
sequence of the exercise of the
right of every other proprietor to
pursue that particular kind of ag.
riculture he may choose. 1t may
be that unlimited freedom in this
respect to each proprietor is the
surest guarantee of the good of
all. We will not decide this now,
but content ourselves with the
suggestions made, and place our
conclusions on other grounds as
sufficient to sustain il.
3. Relief by injunction is so Sc
we're in its consequences that it is
not to be granted in such q case,
except when the right to it is clear
ly and conclusively made out. To
interfere with ones right to use his
own land for the production of
what he pleases in ease of doubt,
would be a fagrant abuse Of pow
er. 1t is not enough to show Il
probable or contingent injury, but
it must be shown to be inevitable
and mdoubted. Woods Law OF
Nuisances IS. Green V. Lake, 81
Miss. $40. We are embarrassed
by the contrariety of statements
and opinions in the testimony and
the uncertainty thus created. II
we maintain the Injunction wrong
fully, great harm may thereby be
done to appellant and the country
If future developments shall place
it beyond doubt that the grass il
an evil to be prevented and exter
pated a remedy may perhaps bC
found. The history and the habits
of the grass are too little know
and established to authorize iii
condemnation as nuisance, whicl
is necessary to sustain the bin
The grass may be neither an un
mixed evil or good. Time ans
trial will disclose it's true charac
ter.
4. If it be said that it win be tot
late, after its introduction into th'
country, to stay the evil, If it shal
prove to be such, the reply is tina
1t is already in many places III Ills
sissippi and Arkansas, and is il
Washington county, and if its char
acter is correctly portrayed b,
some of the witnesses, it must sool
have the exclusive occupancy o
the whole land, and the dissolution
of this injunction will exert littl,
influence on this inevitable result
We deverse the decree of tn,
Chancellor and dismiss the bill,
without prejudice to the rights o.
the complaiuants in any future con
troversy on this subject.

4 Wonderful Dwelling.
LCineinnati Ennnirer.l


Capt. Martin Van Barren Bates. /
who lives ON a farm near Seville. /
o., is { feet liz inches high and /
weighs i7S pounds. Mrs. Bates is
Z feet IL inches high aud weighs
4l3 pounds. 1t is a difficult mat.
ter to convey an adequate idea of
the proportions Of such dwelling
rs the one occupied by the Ohio
giants. A door that is six feet six
inches high is a large-sized open
ing in the side of u house-that is,
a dwelling house, not a cathedral.
But the doors in the domicile of
the Bates giants ars 10 feet high,
aud the knobs are nearly as high
as the reporters head.
The house was built by Captain
Bates in 1876, and is elegantly fur.
nished. In the main building on
the ground floor are, besides the
spacious hall, the bed-chamher Of
the giants, a sittmg-room and n
parlor. The couch upon which the
big couple sleep was made cspeci-
ally for them, and it is a curiosity
to look Mt. Ii is extensive enough
to give the great people room to
stretch in, and it looks as big as
an ordinary-sized floor. 1t is real.
ly 10 feet long, wide in proportion,
and about twice as high as a com
mon bed. The magnificent dress
ing.case is also q hugh affair, with
a glass upon ii nearly as big the
side of a house. In the sitting
room is a piano of ordinary size
itself, but it is mounted on blocks
two feet high, 50 that the instru
ment is away up in the air, out oi
the reach of common folks. There
are two rocking chairs in this room
that are so big that the reporter
had to climb up into them the sam,
as an infant would Chamber up intC
n "high chair.n 1t is very cxpen
sive for the giants to live, as the,
have to pay exhorbitant prices foi
everything they wear. For in
stance, it costs the Captain $50 !
pair for boots.
1t is a most astonishing sight t.
come across the two giants out foi
n drive. City folks who have seer
the ponderOus wagons,with wheels
reaching to the second story Of {
house, used to haul stones weigh
ing tons and tons, can form IN idei
of the vehicle used. 1t is pulled
by six stout Norman horses, ant
it is enough to make a man thinl
he has got 'em sure, to suddenly
meet such a spectacle on the road
, out in the country. Passing wag
ons have to let the rails down anC
drive into the adjoining fields unit
the giants go by.

Mad Dog In JackSoh.

The Clarion of the 10th says that
three children were bitten in jack

is to be hoped that our police will

in the town is in daily peril when

THE only change in the policy oi the EPITAPu will be to make it more pronounced in its Democracy, and renew it's efforts for the success of every candidate OH the ticket, from top to bottom. It has no choice, no favorites, but it has a great and abld- ing love for the principles of the grandest political party that ever fos- tered the industries and contributed beyond measure to the peace and prosperity of this marvel of nations. None who represent the party will be damned with faint praise, but all alike will be sustained and supported in the bitter November struggle, aud when victory has rewarded the united efforts of all.-for there can be no success ;thout harmony and concert of action-we believe all will accord to the EpIrApn that purity of pur- pose, that fidelity to principle which its efforts will merit.

A FEW FACTS.

The state campaign in California is a very exciting one for the people of tha. commonwealth, and not without interest for the public at large. The fight centers upon the question or railroad monopoly. The Democracy first declared against it in set terms, and the Republicans followed suit and tried to 0utdo them. But the advantage lies with the Democracy, for what little protection the people of California ever had from railroad monopolirs, was when that party was in power, and they have had none under Republican rule. The railroad land grants in California cover nearly 25,UOO,OOO acres, or one quarter of all the land susceptibl- of cultivation. The total amount taken by the Cen tral Pacific main lne from Sacra- mento to Ogden is 7,997,600. Of this 1,792,000 acres are in California. The Southern Pacific grant covers IT,. 6S4.53 acres; the Oregon branch B. 724,S00 acres; tie Western Pacific from Sacramento to San Fianci co, 1,l00,000 ac es The grant to the Atlantic and Pacific load c, vers 42,00O, O,OO0,or 5,6I0 acres per mile of road. Of this some l0,0J0,000 acres are in California. Though that old corporation has been substantially defunct for years, the grant of land st,ll lives, and by decisicn Of the supreme court, will live till an act oi congress shall restore the land to the public domain. Not taking into ac count the uninhabitable places in tn. state, the railroad monopolists have nearly one half of all the land in California. They control more acres than all the English landlords con- trol in Ireland. In the case of the Irish land, too, the En. fish holder pays the government taxes at tn, same rate as paid by re'ident hold CTS, but the case of the railroads wh
 own the land in California is uilfer- ent. There the monopolists refuse to bear their just share of the burden by paying fair tax on their equip ment, while they escape taxation entirely on their land. These mon- opolists have m de and unmade gov. errors, legislatures and judges, and legislation and legal decisions affect, ing them have been made at their orler. A strong effrrt IS now being made to curb their power by the elecli ,n of the Democratic ,ndi dates for the state offices-men who have never bowed the knee to the monopolists. The leading Democrats are hopeful of victory, but fully aware that they have to contend against a most powerful and unscru. pulous enemy.

ALL signs point to a grand Demo- cratic victory throughout the East tnis fall. Many of the leading Re- publican papers, among which are the Tribune and Times are fearful of a Republican def at in New York in November, and so is the Utica Herald. The Albany Journal and the Buffalo Express concede the state to the Democrats already. The Journal, ,certainl y one of the most pow erful Republican papers In the En- pire state is exceedingly bitter in its denunciaton of the rascality and ,rlckery of the Republican politician s who captured the Saratoga ccnven- ton and nominated Folger for gov ernor. It declares that the party has been betrayed and sold out, and con. cedes the state to the Democrats by 50,O0O majority. The signs are equally cheering in Arizona, and will as of yore remain in the Democratic ranks, and return Oury as her repre-
 sentative at the national capitol.
