Nobody wants to see the nasty, dirty little
paper dimes and quarters any more, such as
circulated during the war, yet everybody
feels the inconvenience CT not being able to
send small sums by the mails. The frac-
tional paper currency was not oaly an an
noy ance but a loss; on an average nearly
three quarters of million year of it dis
appeared and the people were poorer TO that
extent; still we want the postal conveniency
they were 10 us. OF course other countries
feel the want as much as ourselves. How
have they proceeded who have sup
piled it? The best way that has been
found is that of authorizing the postoffices
to issue money orders for sums under a
dollar thA=s can be purchased for from nne
to three cents. They are stamped to prevent
being circulated money, and must be
offered to the postoffice where received within
a month of the date stamped upon them, or
they will not be accepted. The issuance Of
these orders would add but little to the post
Office expenses, and the slight pay exacted
for them would more than cover the cost and
service, while the public would be accommo-
dated with what every citizen is requiring
at times. The returned stamps would be
vouchers at the postoffice for the money paid
for them, and no registering or bookkeeping
would be necessary. Let US have the order
stamps. If people in other countries can
have them we ought not to be deprived of

A late decision of Judge McCrary, of the
United States Circuit Court, is to the effect
that only those lands actually reserved by
the United States by treaty for the purposes
of occupancy by the Indians as reservations
are Indian lands and portion OF the Indian
country. The terms Of this decision by di-
rect implication do not include the coded
lands of the Indian Territory, known ss the
oklahoma lands" This, then, is but an
other step toward the final opening of these
lands to white settlement. Captain Payne,
the indefatigable leader OF the Oklahoma
colony, taking advantage of this decision, is
now preparing to lead second band OF i'm
migrants to the lands on which he has fixed
and which are the finest lands in the Indian
Territory. The only step now necessary to-
ward the opening of these lands to settle
ment and the final opening of the entire In
dian Territory, is the establishment Of the
United States District Court at Wichita, Kas
with territorial jurisdiction over the ceded
lands and the northern portion of the Indian
Territory. This will 10 a very large extent
check those lawless characters who ave
overrun the southern borders of Kansa as,
committing all sorts OF crimes within the
State, and fleeing to and finding a safe refuge
in the Indian Nation-very seldom, il ever,
being brought to justice.

az not 10 be exposed to disaster b s,exhaust-
| ing the soil they cultivate, and they learn
the financial advantage of intelligent culture,
and how to adopt the cheapest aud most
available means OF renovation. The reports
published by the agricultural bureau, though
not all OF equal value, do less good than they
should from bad distribution; so also with
the distribution of seeds and plants. They
are not sent "where they viii do the most
good" but, in too many instances, where
they will help to re-eleet the representative
who forwards them. The author is not
inclined to favor the head of the agri-
cultural bureau being made a member of the
government. That man should be selected
for his scientific knowledge and experimental
skill, and should not have his attention
diverted to subjects outside the important
sphere he occupies. All that the farmer
requires of the general government would be
much more efectualIy obtained by sending
to Congress men versed in agriculture, and
in number proportionate to that of the
farmers. Why do farmers choose as repre-
sentatives men who are not identified with
them in interest, who do not understand their
wants, or sympathize with their aims? What
agriculture needs is not half 80 much vote
in the cabinet, as intelligent representatives,
men qualified to be leaders in the agricul-
tural as well as the political field. Ii the
agricultural colleges do no more than train
up skillful and Intelligent advocates of the
farmers interests of this kind they would be

THE JEWS In RUSSIA.
President Arthur interviewed ON the
Subject by Representative BeIfOrd.

WASHINGTON, April 27-Judge Bedford
representative in Congress from Colorado
had an interview to-day with the President
regarding the persecution i the Jews in
Russia. The Judge showed that the atrocities
practiced on the Jews in Russia have taken
the form OF destruction OF property by plum
der and fire, injury to person, murderous as
saults, outrsges on mothers; wives and
daughters, and deliberate murder. As near
ly as the results of these atrocities can be
ascertained and stated in figures it appears
that over 200 women have been violated
sixty men killed, seventy wounded, 10000
rendered homeless and about $75, 100000
worth of property stolen and wrecked
Judge Belford reminded the President that
Intervention N such cause has been prac-
ticed by civilized nations for the past two
centuries. He cited a number of cases
where intervention had occurred in late
years, among them being that of Russia in
behalf of persecuted christians in Turkey.
The Intervention of Russia in behalf OF
the Greek christians in Turkish dominions
was the justification for undertaking the
Crimean war and again, in 1877, the inter-
vention of Russia in behalf of christian
subjects of the suitan was the single pretext
for the Russo-TuTkish war.
In reply to Judge Bedford the President
said that he felt deeply interested in the
case of the persecuted Hebrews, and was de-
termined to DO everything that could be
done with propriety to induce the Russian
government TO extend the fullest protection
TO this class OF its subjects; he had, within
the past few days, addressed communica-
ton 10 our representative at st. Petersburg
directing him TO invite the attention OF the
car to these reported atrocities, and to
express the adherence that was felt in this
country in relation to their preparation, and
eptreatino him to exercise his authority 10
prevent their recurrence. The President
further said that while it was delicate
matter for this government to interfere with
matters between the government of Russia
and its subjects, yet he was determined TODD
all that could be done, with strict regard to
international usage and courtesy, to obtain
for the Jews in Russia the same measure
of freedom and protection that was accorded
others; in any event, he was determined the
American Jews, temporarily residing in Rus
STA, should receive the care and protection Of
their government

BOB INGERsoLL is catching it all round
yet he goes right on his way rejoicing, as will
be seen from the report OF his last lecture
delivered in New York on Sunday night
before a very large audience. His latest an
tagonist is the Rev. Mr.. Williams, of Christ's
Free Church, New York, who says he Gre
CARDS Mr.. Ingersoll as one of the grandest
men of the age, who only needs religion to
be as useful as he is brilliant" But
right after this eulogy Mr. Williams
very inconsistency declares that Bob
''talks for hours about a subject he
doesn't understand, and to hear him, simple
tons pay fifty cents apiece" This said, the
preacher then proceeded to denounce Mr.
Ingersoll as a reservoir of fourth rate wit
and ridicule, as a man who insulted God for
money, as insane because he refused to
accept the evidences OF revelation, as eating
the oysters (that is, pocketing the money! and
leaving his audiences the shells OF demon
alizing theories, as holding creed SO weak
that it was wonder he doubted the story of
Jonah, and so on. Colonel Ingersoll's talk, +"
said Mr.. Williams, "is gorgeous fireworks,
his hypothesis shams, and the people who go
to hear him are endowed with more money
than brains" Evidently Mr.. Williams is
nothing if not consistent. Bob, though bad
man, has nothing TO fear from Mr.. Williams

A SPICY LETTER
To The Presbyterian Church from One
OF Its Ministers.

MADISON, IND, April 27.-To-day the
Courier publishes an open letter addressed to
the New Albany Presbytery and the Presby-
terrain Churoh 10 general by the Rev. Samuel
r. Wilson, DID, pastor of the Second Pres
byierisn church in this city. DIR. Wilson
states that after having been nominated as a
representative to the General Asse mbly, the
presbytery refused to send him simply be-
cause he objected to womaa being admitted
to the floor Of the presbytery 10 speak in
favor of total abstinence. DIR. Wilson con-
cudes IN these words: "On this account the
presbytery would not allow me to go to the
assembly, and thus let the Presbyterian peo-
pie of God everywhere and all the churches
of God know that the Presbytery of New
Albany makes test OF ministerial standing
that her members shall approve Of what Paul
has forbidden, and cooperate with a SELF
constituted body of women, who, assuming
without right the divine name of christian,
are using their power and influence to secure

at Cana, He would be fined and imprisoned,

advocate, Mrs. Leavitt, Is correct-would

STEAMER BURN ED.
Nine Lives LOst-The Goat "A Total
Loss.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 26.-T The
steamer City of Sanford was burned five
miles above this city about o'clock Monday
morning. The steamer was on her way from
Sanford, and when opposite Point La Vista
fire was discovered issuing from the forward
hold from among a quantity Of pine wood.
The alarm was given, and the purser went
through the boat and aroused the passengers
in order to prevent panic. He told them
not to be alarmed and that there was plenty
of time. This caused some TO lose valuable
time. The boat was headed for the shore
and was in a few minutes grounded in
three feet of water, but the fire had
driven the engineer from his post
and the engine could not be stopped,
An attempt was made TO rescue the pas
sengers by having them go aft and jump
overheard, but Notwithstanding these efforts
nine persons, and probably more, persisted.
Their names are as follows: Mrs. Oscar
Keep and child OF this city; Mrs. Ireland
and daughter, OF Iowa; Mr.. q. H Owner,
OF Norwalk, Fla: Captain Shartelie, Of the
schooner Magnolia recently lost on Mosquito
Inlet bar; Charles Pierce, nephew of Willie
Brooks and son Of the pilot of the ill-fate1
steamer, and Dorse Snapper deckhand.
The steamer George NJ. Bird was coming
down the river a few miles ahead of the San
ford Her officers discovered the FIRE and at
once put back 10 the scene of the disaster,
and took on board the survivors aud brought
them to this city. The remains of the lost
have been brought TO this city for interment.
Some of the bodies were burned 70 a crisp.
The city is full Of mourning and consider
able excitement prevails. The steamer and
contents are total loss. Nothing was saved.

TENNESSEE VS.. VIRGINIA.

Major Sykes, in a well-cousidered article,
in Southern Industries, on the advantages Of
Tennessee in wealth, climate, productions,
minerals and water power" institutes a COM
parison between Tennessee and Virginia that
cannot fail to prove instructive to taxpayers
in the State and well-intentioned people out
of it. He shows that the entire State reve-
nue. of Tennessee now amounts to only s.
000,0 900, the tax being forty cents On the 500,
while in Virginia the total of revenue is 81
100000, and the tax fifty cents on the 500.
The force OF this comparison will be felt in
its full strength when our readers learn that
though the population Of the two States is
nearly equal Virginia having 512 SOC and
Tennessee ,542 46S), the productions of Vir-
ginia are very much less than those of Ten
nessee. In 1870 the value of farm products
was $50, 000, 900 in Tennessee, and in Virginia
only S42,000,000, and the value of manu-
features in Virginia was S5O,0O0,0O0 in 1870,
and in Tennessee S17 100000, making dif-
ference of S12,OOO,O9O in favor Of Tennessee.
But the difference is even greater in our Ia
vor, as will be seen from this table, compiled
from the census report of 1880:

Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, April 27.-Eastern Kentucky
reports show the frost was general, and quite
serious damage done TO fruit; but wheat is in
much better condition than was expected.
Tobacco is looking we'll everywhere. Sew
eral cargoes of wheat have been sold in ad-
vance at 81 per bushel. In the northern
border counties fruit was generally injured
and wheat touched. Toward the south,
however reports are more favorable, and in
dictate good crops of all kinds. Tobacco
seems to have suffered from fly in many
places where the beds were not protected by
canvass, except in Wayne county, where the
frost Seems 10 have done special damage.
Reports from the southern tier Of counties
are allfaYora5le The tobacco fly has done
considerable harm TO plants in bsds. In
Logan county some OF the farmers have
resown their crop, but there will
undoubtedly be enough for planting Corn
planting Is about over, and the outlook is
good. The farmers of western Kentucky are
reported TO be unusually forward with their
work, and in many counties the corn has all
been planted; in some it is up and growing
finely. Complaints of damage to tobacco by
the fly are made in Davisss and Muhlenburgh
counties. In Livingston farmers are neglect
ing tobacco for corn, and all over the western
part OF the State a large sereage of this cereal
has been planted. Wheat ia generally unin-
crop of tobacco has been marketed and sum-
mer deliveries are likely 10 be light. The
outlook throughout the State, taken as a
whole, is very promising and crops bid fair
to fully make up for the disastrous season of
1881. A prominent feature OF the situation
in eastern counties IS the neg elect OF hemp and
the substitution of wheat, barley and tobacco
while in the central and western sections
large acreases of small grain have been
planted to the partial exclusion Of tobacco.
The damage 10 young corn in some locali-
ties has neeessitsted replanting, putting
farmers a week or two behind in their work,
but with favorable season this will prove
no detriment Seed-corn Is very scarce all
over the State. Stock is generally in good
condition, though there are some complaints
Of pinkeye among horses and cholera among
hogs. Bids Of from ninety cents to 81 per
bushel have been made in some places for
the next crop Of wheat. The farmers are
generally cheerful and hard at work.
