The Question of An Extra Session.

The crops of Texas last year. largely ex-
ceed any previous years.. An immense am
cunt of land was sold, bringing to the State
many millions of dollars land advanced
heavilyin price cattle and sheep advanced
in price; all taxable values were advanced,
80 that on the first of January 1883, when
the tax assessor began his assessments, the
land, stock of all kinds merchandise and
all taxable property had felt the year of
progress and prosperity and were rendered
for taxation at such enhanced values that it
is row computed the property taxes will
yield some $3.50, 600 more of revenue than
the previous year. For time, and until
the assessment rolls of the counties begin
ming to come to the comptroller's office were
found to indicate this extraordinary result,
it was assumed by the News that there was
no occasion for an extra session of the leg
islature, And, indeed, there distinctly ap-
pears as yet no sufficient r, ason for entail
ing that expense, growing out of the
adoption of the constitutional amendments.
But if the assessment rolls hereafter to come
in shall be found to Justify the estimate of
$3.50, 600 increase in the revenue there will
be an unforeseen but sufficient reason for an
extra session of the Legislature to reduce
the rate of taxation. There is likely to be
an increase also in the revenue from poll
taxes and occupation taxes consequent upon
the increase of trade and population, while
the expense of the government are. after
the large expenditures for the penitentiaIy
and asylums have been made, likely to be
diminished rather than increased. Provi-
vision has been made for these permanent
Improvements, and the increased revenue
will only go to swell the idle cash balance,
and embarass and oppress taxpayers dur
ing year that is likely, it appears, to be
disastrous to thousands of producers, small
and country merchants Gal

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 81

ST.. Louis, Aug. 81, 1883.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-Judge Noonan has
decided in favor of the saloon keepers.
The Sunday law is a nulity in ST. Louis.
Your correspondent predicted this result in
former letters to the FREE Press. The de
cision of Judge Noonan is regarded through
out the State as a corrupt political measure.
Governor Tom. Crittenden is exasperated
and will call special session of the Legis.
lature and under the provocatiop of Judge
Noonan's decision (?) the assembly will
doubtless enact laws that will bring this
revolutionary and free German city to its
knees. The State and the city Of st. Louis
are now divided on this issue AS legal
proposition it is doubtless true that the city
or finance law of 1857 is unrepealed, and
this law gave the saloon keepers the right
to sell beer and native wine on Sunday.
The Governor and the counties take differ
ent view of it however. 1t is contended by
the States Attorney, Col Claiborne, that
the Downing Sunday law repealed all pre-
vious laws and ordinances and his able mr.
gument on that point seems unanswerable
to the law abiding citizens of the city and
State. Col. Robert Claiborne is personal
friend of Governor Ciittendep; he is u brave
man, and the pride of our criminal bar, and
the consequences of his splendid talents Will
soon be felt by those WHO violate the crimi-
nal laws of this State. CARL SMYTHE.

The Mammoth Affair,

very simple; the HERALD ha, not

its opinion, but said nothing in con-
fiict with it's previous uttersnces on
that subject We have said and still
cay that, according to our best judg-
ment and information, the property
ia valuable and ought to be worked,
for the interest OF the stockholders
and the Territory itself; but the man.

conducted is found fault with, and We
are BY no means alone in this matter.

CRIME AND THE COURTS.
Some Suggestions as to the Causes
of the Former

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. Y, 1888.
Editors Herald:
In your editorial Of "Crime and
the Courts" October ~, you con-
Guided if the world was growing
wiser it was also growing more
wicked, and you propose to remedy
this by inhicting more severe pun
ishment and talking more morality
in the churches. Both these meth
DDS have been pursued since the
year one, and as they have proved
a total failue, why not try some
other method which would strike
right at the root OF the evil ? Every
murderer knows he runs the risk of
being hang. Does this knowledge
prevent him from numbering :?
Not at all. Every Sunday
school scholar is taught numerous
dOctrinal points: does this prevent
him from entering his neighbours
orchard and stealing fruit !? Not at
all. In truth there are too many
doctrines taught in the churches
and too little morality and real reli-'
gion. We should implant prin~
ciples IN our children; they should
be taught to do right for righteous
ness sake and not from fear of hell.
We should be taught to be a law
unto ourselves. Instead of punish
ing more severely the unhappy
being who has been driven into
crime, perhaps through poverty, or
hunger, or despair, or a weakly
mind incapable of resisting tempta-
ton, would it not be better to make
such laws as would enable all to
make comfortable and honorable
living? For instance, suppose there
was law passed allowing all to
own $4,000 worth Of untaxable
property, and all over this amount
to be heavily taxed. Such a law
would give poor man q chance for
comfortable home, and it would
prevent the accumulation of such
enormous wealth by the few, (Which
is the cause of the financial distress
of the many, and it would have a
tendency to equalize business.
One more suggestion. Govern
ment should not allow such enors
nous sums to lie idle in the
treasury vaults; it should be
spent in public works, thus
giving employment to many
a poor man, thereby removing the
temptation to commit crime. Then,
why punish severely beings who are
brought into this world without
their own consent? Surrounded by
conditions over which they have
no control, forced into crimes
which no doubt many regret,
would it not be more charitable and
more Christ-like to pass wise and
just laws which will lift them
above the necessity of committing
crime for living? Respectfully,
A THINKER.

Yard says that the larger breeds of fowls,

if they have been fed properly. If halt
grown immature birds are desired for the
table, then those breeds above-named will
not furnish them nearly as well as will
such breeds as the Leghorns, games and
others of like ilk. The reason for this
is obvious The Brahmas are much long
er in maturing, while the games and all
the small or medium-sized breeds are
sooner developed. They feather up quick
ly and acquire the much-desired round
ness and plumpness sooner and easier
than do any of the larger breeds. This
is especially so with the pullets, though
the same rule applies to cockerels, which
latter require maturity (not necessarily
age) to make them really fine eating.

Feeding Sheep.

You must not collect large flock of sheep
before you get something for them to eat,
and that something must be their natural
food. That food is grass-grass that is sodded
and perennial. The stomach of sheep is
small and he eats but little at time, and
wants that little very often, and every two or
three hours; hence he should be where he
can gather his own food. The tendency of all
kinds of grain and dry provender is to make
sheep unhealthy. A little grain before send
ing to the shambles is useful to help fatten.
but fat itself is disease and should be
avoided so far as possible in all breeding ami
mails. Likewise should the other extreme
viz: poverty-be avoided. l have seen
sheep degenerate from poverty more in one
generation than they could be improved
in two or three. have seen much in the
papers about sheep loving bitter weeds,
briars, sassafras and the like, and they are
good scavengers for foul farm. My sheep
love the cultivated grasses best. / remember
once to have killed some sassafras with sheep
but also killed some of my sheep. 1t was
done by confning them too long to the same
territory as well as to the same food. Sheep
need to have their pasture changed at least
once month. And this new pasture is as
much to force them to sleep in a new place
as it is to give variety of food. No sheep
can be healthy long that sleeps on the same
place and over his own excrement every
night ht.-Farmers' World.

A Good Farm Horse.

DR.. Loring, Commissioner of Agriculture,
thus describes good farm horse in late
issue of the Rural New Yorker: He should
be well balanced. strong and sagacious. His
head should be mild. clean, long, expressive.
full, clear and gentle. His heck should be
well arched, muscular, and of medium length
His shoulder should be strong and solid at
the base of good width from the elbow to
point of the shoulder. sloping moderately and
strong at the top-with withers not too sharp.
His back should be straight, firm, hairy, hav.
ing what Virgil calls double spine and
joined to the Iump by an even mass of mus
Gle. His hips should be compact rather
than raw or prominent; his sttle well
rounded; his rump handsomely developed; ;
his tail arched slightly from the attach
ment to the body. His legs should
be straight, well corded, with strong joints
and wide below the knees and hooks. The
pasterns should be somewhat short, but elias
tic His feet should be round, open at the
heel, dark-colored, with an elastic frog, and
with fine grained, tough, horny structure.
His barrel should be round, his chest deep
His wind should be strong and his digestion
perfect. Now, horse of this description
may be of any size from 900 pounds to 1900; /;
of any height from l5 hands to l6 l2 hands !;
of any color, although bays, browns, sorrels,
and grays are the best, and he will Se capable
of great endurance on the road or at the plough
He should be selected with reference to the
work he is to perform and the locality in which
he is to live.

A barrel of plaster will make 500 images.
The moulds are made of gelatine, which costs
81 per pound. An ordinary mould is worth
81. Each mould is made to produce not less
than fifty images. An industrious maker can
turn out, every day, 100 images. By calcula-
ton upon this basis, it sppears that the ina

The retail dealer SAYS the images cannot
be made for less than forty cents. So they
cannot when first class materials are en-

images employ skilled laborer to scrape off
the mould marks and tone up the anatomy.
All this counts. So does the time consumed
in the moulding. The gelatine costs twice
as much rs that used BY the Italians
The moulds are not made to produce over q

find that certain image catches the popular
whim. Forthwith they make nothing else.
Thousands of the favorite images go bobbing
up and down Chestnut street. The houses
are full of them. And so it goes. The busi-
ness of image making is declining. In
former years the pedlers overran the country.
Now they seldom go into the rural
districts. In the winter they make images.
In the spring they divide their time between
selling their wares and collecting cigar
stumps. In the summer they deal in ice
cream and figs, and cheap fruit. When they
die they are buried in the Potter's Field, and
