Editor Sentinel II have both read and

Editor Sentiael:-I have both read and
heard good deal of the unproftableness
OF farming. Any one at all familiar
with our modes of culture will not be
surprized at the general complaint. We
are given to the conservative habit, of
following tradition, instead of studying
agriculture as science. We seem to be
obliyious of the principle in physics that
action and reaction are equal--a rule
equally as applicable in agriculture as in
mechanics. Therefore, we never think Of
returning anything to our lands, but 60
on with our ruinous policy Of annually
taking crops of cotton and corn rom our
fields, until at last tired nature fails to
respond to our demands, and we COM
plain of the unfavorableness of the sea-
sons and the enefficiency ofour laborers,
instead of laying the blame, where it
properly belongs, upon our own incapa-
city, Indifference or laziness. B.

Here is the whole unjust system Of
taxation in nutshell, as put by con-
temporary. Cut it out and paste it in
your hat where your brains ought to be.
There are in the United States about
10000, 900 families. Our annual taxation
for federal purposes is about $400, 600, 600.
Each head Of family pays therefore an
average tax of $40. Under the existing
revenue system the working classes are
more heavily taxed than the wealthy,
for the highest duties are imposed on
the coarser goods used by the poor
Clarion.

goers in this town we publish the follow
ing from the Meridian Mercury:
"Some of the tbeatre-going people in
Meridian are like the Boomerang says
of the audiences Of Laramie City. They
need guide to point out the ludicrous
and pathetic parts. 1t produces an
awkward calm to have peals of merri-
ment ring out from the galleries when
the heart-broksn actor pauses to await
for the sobs OF his audience to subside.
1t makes an actor feel queer and is not
encouraging him to do his best. He
thinks it is casting pearls before the
swine. He feels like he is wasting his
sweetness on the desert air. We always
feel sorry for him, and this is what
"made us say what we do"
