satisfaction If he has done his duty.
So it is not only saving, but great
certainty of getting such as we want by
doing the work at home. A few weeks
ago in conversation with John Drake
ESQ. one of the most successful fruit
growers of this county, we obtained
from him what seemed to us very valu-
able information in reference to max
ing orchards. MIR. brakes plan is to
plant his own apple seed and when
large enough to draft, he selects drafts
from the kind of fruit he wants. In
order to have large, fine, red apples
free from decay or specks, he goes to
the orchard, when bearing, and selects
such trees as have fine, large, red,
sound, healthy apples, free from de-
cay and most certain of perpetual bear
ing and marks those trees. When ready
to graft into his plants, he gets his cut,
tings from the trees selected. In this
way, Mr.. Drake says his apples are
usually large, red and free from Specks
1t is not unreasonable that this princi-
pie in nature should hold good in plants
as well as animals. 1t is a law of ma.
ture that like besets like to great
extant, and if we want perfect animals
or plants let them be from the very
best parentage. No doubt this princi
pie will hold good in the vegetable as
well as the animal kingdom. Mr..
Drake has verified the truth Of the
same in his own experience and is now
reaping the benefits and fruits thereof.
1t is reasonable, and we recommend
the plan as a coed one. Try it.

GROW YOUR OWN FRUIT TREES

There are a few reasons why farmers
and fruit growers should grow their
own fruit trees. 1t is not only econo-
my, but when man grows his own
plants and gratis them with his own
hands, or superintends the same, he
knows just what he is planting and can
rely with certainty on the kind of fruit
he will have when in bearing. Not
always so when the trees come from
the foreign Or even our home nurseries.
Our nurserymen are perhaps as honest
and correct as other men, but some
times in the great hurry and depend
ing upon Others to do much of their
selections of grating material they
do not always get the best, or even
the varieties true to name. Again,
tables sometimes get off and the tree;
get so mixed that we are in doubt rs tC
the variety. If a farmer plants his
own seed and selects and gratis his own
trees, he is pretty apt to have fruit
true to kind, and such as will give

THE PRIVILEGE TAX ON MANU-
FACTURES OF WHISKY AND
BRANDY.

There is much comment and little
difference of opinion among the people,
especially among the distillers of this
county in reference to the following
notice of the Comptroller to the county
court clerks, which reads as follows:
STATE OF TENNESSEE, CONTROL
LER's OFFICE, NASHVILLE, Nov. 7,
1870 the County Court Clerks:
Your attention is hereby directed to
the opinion of the Supreme Court re-
Gently delivered at Knoxville, in the
case of"Webb VS.. the State" notice of
which has been given me by the SUBJ
joined. letter from Acknowledgement
B. j. Lea.
This privilege tax is due for the
years 1881 and 1882, as well as for
1888, and you should govern yours
selves accordingly.
P. P. PICKARD, Comptroller.
We do not know what will be the
action of the State authorities in refer
ence to the collection of these taxes,
especially back taxes or distillers, but
to us it does seem that it would
be very unjust and oppressive now to
enforce the new construction, when it
was not even known by the authorities
themselves that such construction could
or would be made by the Supreme
Court. When men wilfully and know
ingly violate law then they should and
ought to suffer the penalty but as in
this case, they. nor the officers, did not
know that such would be the constitute
ton of the law. Under the circum-
stances justice forbids that the law
should be enforced, and if no other re-
lief the next Legislature should enact
such law as would relieve these people.
The enforcement of this law to apply,
specially to the past years, would be
unjust and not in accordance with the
spirit of the constitution. We have nc
apologies to make for the wiIlful VIC
lation of law, but in this case it would
certainly be unjust to enforce the Law
as construed by the Supreme Court
We do not believe that the Comptrollel
or Attorney-General is required to en-
force an unjust law. The constitution
provides that all laws shall be Justly
administered, and as these authorize
take solemn oath to support the con
stitution SUCH objections should be sui
ficient reason to stay the collection o
at least back taxes under the construc
: ton of the Supreme Court. Law
were made to protect and not Oppres
the innocent citizen. To our mind j
. is clearly the duty of the Comptrolle
L to stay the collection of these privileg
u taxes up to the decision of the Suprem
Court.

The strength of the New York rich
men can be understood when four or
five of them loan Sl9,000,OOO in a sim
gle day to a railroad. But the men
who do this are almost all railroad
men, and the tendency is to concen-
trate all valuable railroad property in
a few hands. In ten years more, as
the country is progressing, all the
trunk lines will be substantially I'M
der one management, and will be
readily controlled by probably less
than twenty men. 1t will be power
more tremendous than ever existed in
private individuals before, and will be
as potent in the rule of this country
as was ever the East India company
in India.

The fall round up of cattle on the
range between the Yakima and Co.
lumbia, just completed, shows the
cattle to be in fine condition, but still
exhibiting in lessened numbers the
effects of the hard winter of 1881. A
circuit which at the fall round up that
year contained eighty thousand head
has now but a fourth of that number.
The loss in numbers is compensated
to owners largely by the increased
price of cattle, but the consumers of
beef find small comfort in this state
ment, it appearing that they, and not
the improvident cattle owners who al
lowed their cattle to starve, are the
sufferers.

The only portion of United States
territory that may be said to be abso-
lutely unknown, is the Everglades, of
Florida. The United States army
drove the Seminole Indians into this
unknown region, but neither sue
ceeded in capturing the savages or
dislodging them from their swamp
Businesses. Government surveyors
don't know how much land is con-
tanned in this isolated territory or
what it is like. Even the railway
land-grabbers, while having grants
for twice as much land as the whole
state of Florida contains, have failed
to carry surveyors chain over this
part of their alleged domain, and no.
body besides the Indians and few
negroes, who are still held as slaves
by the aboriginees, seem to know any
thing about the territory.

Secretary Teller is reported to have
said after his return from the west,
that the time had come when the In
dian question must be handled with
out gloves. 1t was absurd that large
tracts of valuable land should be given
up to the savages, when the public
needed them. He had been much
struck with this fact travelling over
the Northern Pacific, where, at one
point in Montana for about one hun
dred and sixty miles, the road ran
through an apparently desert country
which seemed to be very fine land.
Noticing no cattle or any of the evil
dences of civilization, when he reached
Billings he inquired into the matter
and found that the tract was the Crow
reservation-S,000 600 acres given up
to about $500 Indians, who had no use
for the land.

The president has again proved his
possession of the quality of hard COM
mon sense. A lieutenant of cavalry
was lately court martialed and dis
missed from the service because he
married a woman who had been his
mistress. There was no offense to
military morals while he lived in il
licit relations, but his partial atone
ment tor the wrong-doing by giving
tho honor of a wife's place to the
woman who had shared his guilt, was
shocking to military ethics. The pres
ident promptly disapproved the find
ing of the court martial and set aside
this dismissal.
