The local hostility In Washington city TO the
Star.Route prosecution was shown yesterday
by q minister OF that city making tho subject
atext for a Thanksgiving sermon, and In It
denouncing tho Attorney-General in unmoas-
ured terms. Because the latter allowed his
Interview with ex-Alarshal Henry TO be pub
lished he Is branded as ono who Is more Mt for
felon's cell than to preside over tho Depart
mont OF Justice. The Star-Route thieves have
many apologists and defenders; besides their
regiment OF great lawyers, they have now, It
seems, secured ehaplain.-Ihl philadelphia Press,
TO-DAY.
Tho friends OF Rev. @. II. Richardson, the
minister above alluded to, say that tho report
OF tho sermon printed In tho morning papers
here and sent away by telegraph, was outra.
geously garbled, and that the passages In II In
which he denounced the star.Routo frauds,
as well as tho Government methods OF prose-
cution, wore studiously omitted. If this bo
true, It would DO well to inquire what Innu'
ence procured the publication OF this garblod
report favorable TO tho star-Rout9 thieves, In
the city papers uncludlng Mr.. George Dllss'
own paper, and sent 1t broadcast over tho
country. And the religious community OF
Washington have right to demand TO know
promptly who Is responsible for this unscru'
pulous attempt to put the pulpit OF the city In
Tho attitude of championing tho star'Route

WE GO to press without any definite
news from the scat Of war. The very latest
accounts represented Senator-elect Riddle
berger still resting from the fatigucs of the
late campaign, while Captain McCarty pro.
longed his visit to friend near Richmond.
In view of certain mistaken comments that
have been ventured, it is proper to say that
engaging in duel would not disqualify
Mr. Riddleberger for his seat in the Senate
under the laws of the United States. There
is no Federal Statute to that effect, though
most of the States, Virginia included,
have such laws. Had tho point been
raised upon Mr.. Riddleberger's eligibility
under the laws of Virginia at the time Of
his election, it might have been valid.
But his credentials having passed to the
files of the Senate, Virginia has no further
Jurisdiction over his tenure. If Senator
or any other man engages in a duel within
the District of Columbia, he violates a
local law, but is not disqualified from any
elective Office in consequence. The as
sumption, therefore, that Senator. Riddle
berger cannot meet Captain McCarty with
out sacrificing his seat in the Senate is un-
founded.
The Evening critic., 1882-12-02

WE COMMEND the refusal of the Com
missioners to extend the tax rebate period
The law itself is nuisance, amounting. as
it does, to q premium upon wealth aud u
penalty upon the poor. There is no reason
why the District of Columbia should offer
any special inducements to secure prompt
payment of taxes. If taxes were doubtful
assets it might be well enough to deal gin
gerly with the debtors. But in the case Of
rich community, forming the political
centre of the greatest nation in the world,
such primitive methods as offering a pre-
MUM for prompt payment of taxes is a
ridiculous relic of barbarism.
The Evening critic., 1882-12-02

ENGLAND expects every subsidized
American newspaper to do its duty for the
next three months. If Secretary Chand-
lers recommendations for the improve
ment of the materieI of the American Navy
are adopted by Congress, the foundation
will be laid for the rebuilding of mari
time rivalry which in times past cost Eng
land many pound sterling to meet and
many day of anxiety to circumvent. In
recent years England has discovered that
her cheapest way to keep down American
maritime rivalry is by subsidizing few
New York editors to blaclsguard everybody
who proposes any scheme for the promotion
of American interests.

THE discharge of Major II. d. Norton
from the Postoillce Department is a part of
the programme of the Department of JUS
tico deliberately entered upon to terrorizc
and control the witnesses in the coming
Star-Route cases. The Brewsterian plan of
fixing" tho jury failed because there
were some honest and fearless mon on tho
jury who refused to lend themselves to the
Department of Justice. This time, instead
oftrying to "Gx" the jury, the persecution
will endeavor to fix the witnesses. Major
Norton in the other trial testified to the
truth. He is now reaping his reward. His
discharge is notice to all employees of the
Government that they must swear to what
the persecution wants in these cases, or be
dismissed.

Progressive Farmers.

The true farmer does not stop to
count the cost of improvement, for his
reason prompts him to believe that he
cannot 60 wrong by endeavoring to inn
prove. Every acre of his farm is cult
waited to its highest capacity, and his
soil never deteriorates in quality. He
rotates his crops with view to increase
fertility, and he estimates his profits by
the amount of expenses entailed in Sc
curing that profit. The failure to
realize immediate results does not dis
courage him, for he knows that through
his judicious system of cultivation, the
realization is but deferred for a little
he spends for profit. He knows moth
in of stinted economy, which saves to-
day and robs tomorrow. The farm is
his bank, his workshop and his occupa-
ton, no stone being left unturned, and
no portion sighted at the cost ofanoth-
er part.
4 good farms means good stock. The
squealing hog has no place on 1t, but
must be superseded by the quiet thor
oughbreds. The tangle-tleeced, small
carcassed sheep cannot be allowed
where only the Merino, the Cotswold,
and the Oxford Down are adapted.
The scraggy bovines of the past are
seen no more, for the deep milking
Holstein, the cream-giving Jersey, and
the beef-producing Hereford have oc-
cupied their places. The thoroughbred
and the Clydesdale plow the fields that
formerly yielded to the wind-broken
plugs, and the wagons and imple-
ments are of the most approved labor
saving patterns. All this means capt.
tai, and is expensive; but when we con-
slider the fact that it costs no more to
keep the best than the bad, and that
expense means profit in the end, the
cost is not so formidable as 1t seems.
But the manure heap is the most
important of all. A good farmer can
be selected by the manner in which he
keeps his manure. The manure is the
wealth-the bank on which the cheque
is drawn and it is imprudent to neg
lect it. Drenching rains and scorching
suns carry upward and downward the
soluble and vllatile constituents OF the
unprotected heap, and often great
bitches are dug to allow the black liz
uid riches to pass of and away forever.
But the good farmer works differently.
He makes his manure fine, attends
personally to the process Of decompo-
sition, protects it from the weather,
and endeavors to make it ready food
for the crops when hauled to the fields.
Farming pays well-to good farmers.
