600 to he expended in masses fir the
deliverance of his soul from purgato-
nv, and his executor refused to pay
over money until it shall lie proved
that it will have the effect desired.
The court then, will have to rass up
on the question whether there is such
u place as purgntory, and, if so,
whether souls can he delivered from
it by priests saying masses. AS such
requests are common among Catho-
lies that church will probably devot
much energy to the proof of both
points.

Fence Posts.

A very interesting discussion on
this subject took place lately at a
meeting of the Cheemung Valley
Tobacco Club, Several Of the men,
bers expressed opinion that the time 10
cut timber tor posts was when the
bark would peel off easily. Presi.
dent Miller thought that timber with
thin layer of "sap>wood' on it
would last much longer. The opin-
on was general that the toughness of
timber had nothing to do with its dur
ability.
One member stated that expert
ence had shown him that upland
timber lasted better than that cut on
the flats. Posts from two different
positions were used in building n
fence-the posts from the hillside re-
naming uninjured, while these from
the flats had rotted away. The mem
bers agreed that there were no advan.
tages to be derived from setting posts
top ends down. Earring green posts
before setting was found to be of no
advantage, though upon seasoned
timber it acted as a perfect preserva-
tive. The majority of the club were
in favor Of midium-sized posts for
feneing; the larger ones invariably
rotting first. President Miller said
the best aud cheapest fence he had
ever seen was made of posts set as
wide apart as the rails permitted, and
four or five of them attached thereto
by staple and strong wire. 1t an
swered the purpose of plank fence,
aud was AN eoonemy of land besides.

What was Raised ON an Acre.
[Helston Methodist

A farmer living.in Maine makes a
statement of what he has raised this
year on an acre of land - almost
enough, we should think, to support
a family. He planted one>third of
his acre in corn, and he usually pro
duced thirty bushels of good corn.
This quantity was sufficient for his
family use and for fattening two or
three large hogs. From the same
ground on which the corn stood he
raised two or three hundred pump
kins and an ample supply Of beans.
From a bed of six rods square he
usu ally obtained sixty bushels of on
ions, these he sold for 81 per husheI,
which amount purchased his -four for
one year. Thus from one>third of
an acre and one onion bed he obtained
his breadstuffs and two or three hun.
dred pounds Of pork. The remain
der of the ground was appropriated
TO all kinds of vegetables, for both
summer and winter use. He also

gooseberries in great abundance, and
also few choice apple, plum, pear,

should have taught Us better lesson.
The confinement of sales of manufactured
goods to the restricted home market is re-
sulting as it always will in cases of plethora
of manufacturing. Under our tariff regula-
lions we cannot handle in ported material.
When the necessity for reduction of wages
comes there is resistance and distress, and
so the manufacturers, reluctant to encoun-
ter the inevitable, struggle on until the
weaker ones go to the wall, and finally a
panic ensues, and the whole fabric comes
down. The cause of all this is the closed
doors of other markets. The importa-
ton of foreign goods that might be ex-
changed for our manufactures is shut of,
the home market is overloaded, and failure
is probable. As the Times concludes,
after inquiry in all lines of trade, the
whole difficulty, if it comes, is to be laid
at the door of the tariff, which closes the
outlet for our manufactured products.

A CASE OF URGENCY.

A correspondent, in another column,
points out that the great floods in Germany
were directly traceable to the destruction
of forests on the headwaters OF the rivers.
This we made clear some time ago. Ger
many has appointed commission to ex-
anime into the matter, and now suggests
European Forestry Congress. California
should take heed of these evidences of the
danger invited by reckless destruction of
our forest growth. The Legislative files
are overloaded not one.twentieth of the
bills can be reached but if ever there was
a case of urgency it is found in the neces-
sity for inquiry-if nothing more-into the
condition of our mountain slopes as to tim
Der clothing. Let urgency be declared, and
both house, without debate or the loss of
twenty minutes time, agree on bill of half
a dozen lines to the appointment of three
good, competent men to inquire into the
facts and report two years hence. Prob
ably $500 would pay the expenses Of such
a commission. 1t should not be salaried,
but composed of men willing to make the
inquiry for the State for the sake of the
good they will thereby bestow upon their

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Governor Littlefield, of Rhode Island, is
much alarmed at the slow decrease of illit-
eracy in his State. He nervously Gala the
attention of the Legislature to that fact,
and to the other humiliating fast that the
illiterscy of that commonwealth exceeds
that of any other Northern State. lie is
satisfied there is remedy for the evil, and
after casting about for it, he finds it in the
compulsory school laws of other States,
Connecticut having the most stringent and
most effective statute upon that subject.
The Governor therefore urges his Legisla-
ture to adopt such regulations, and pro.
vide for their rigid enforcement, as shall
compel attendance upon schools, with a
view to speedily decreasing the great num-
Der of illiterates in that State.

There are certainly signs of uneasiness in
several quarters. Speculation as to the
causes might Re very much extended. We

that these will eliminate in panic. The

prosperity of manufacturing. This is be-

MoRTuaeING THE FUTURE.

A remonstrance has been filed against
placing lumber on the free list, because SO
many men are employed in the industry.
That means, if it means anything, that our
forests are to be destroyed without mercy
or pause, that in the early future we may
be forced to pay tribute to other sections
more provident of their timber supply.
What will the large number of employees
do then? Is it not better that half of them
work continuously than that all of them
cease soon? Shall we permit class to
scuttle the boat in order to give that class
Something to do? The protectionists would
not only rob US of what we have, but pro-
pose to put mortgage on the future that
can never be satisfied.

ests of this community. This is not a
new question; on the contrary, the rule
of "high license and limitation of the
number of saloons prevails in many com
munities, and agreement to regulations,
bond, petition, and assurances for order
and quiet are required in many places, as
a precedent to the issuance of license at
all. In every such case where that system
has been tried it has been adhered to, and
nothing could induce those communities to
abandon it and return to the days of low
license and the unrestrained evils conse-
nuent thereon.

TAX ON INTELLIGENCE.

The United States Senate, after win.
ming praise by placing books on the free
list, has reconsidered and replaced them
among dutiable articles at fifteen per cent.
ad valorem. II will not do to speculate on
the tariff bill. Hopes are raised and
dashed day after day. Ii the latest action
stands, there has been some gain, as the
figure first reported was twenty per cent.
But the great injustice Of any duty at all
is shown by the fact that institutions of
learning are allowed to import books free
by special exemption the poor man,
who wants all the books, and the best,
his small salary will permit, when he goes
to buy them fcds the law OF his country
confronting him g No, sir, no books, ex-
cept you pay fifteen per cent. ad valorem
tax" This he cannot afford, and so goes
without his books. Why? That Ameri-
can publishers, whose issues perhaps he
does not want, may force him to buy of
them. That is the logic of the situation.

The New York Herald sums it all up for the
workingman in these words: :" The American
worklugmen ought to understand, for their own
comfort and well doing, that whatever high tariffs
may have done TO maintain high wages in the past,
when our manufactures were few in number and I'M
able to supply the home Market now that they are
so numerous that, if kept going, they must make
mere than this country possibly consume, high
tariff necessarily means low wages There is no
help for that, because a high tariff increases the
cost of raw material, and to manufacture cheaply
the capitalist employer using high-priced raw ma
terisls must reduce wages.

WE manufacture more than we consume Hence
manufacturers seek foreign market. Without it
manufacturing must be reduced That means cessa-
ton of half the production or else reduction OF
wages. To secure foreign market must under
sell foreign competitors. We do SO only by
essenng the cost of production, and to do that We
must secure raw materials cheaper, lower wages.
A low tariff materials is therefore necessary.
But capitalists in manufacturing oppose low tariff.
