Farmers should be careful about in- vesting their money in expermenting with new fertilizers. A certainty is bet ter than an uncertainty, and the best is always the cheapest in the end.
 In this connection the. following com- munication from Long Island may be of interest to our farmers:-
 Locust Valley, l. I, Sept 12 1882.
 l bought half ton of Bradley's phos- phate last spring for asparagus; used it by the side of a special fertilizer, both Bradley's the preference; for the aspar- agus is as large again on Bradley as where used the other, which cost $7 % per ton more than Bradley's. I also tried it for corn and other vegetables with the same results. I shall use no other but Bradley's phosphate next sea- son. WM H. MERRITT.

CONGRESSMAN KAssoN thinks that
Edmunds and Lincoln would be a
winning ticket. Possibly 1t would.
But after all, the ticket will make
very little difference In the next pres.
idential campaign. Whatever the
ticket and the platform with Its pro-
fuse pledges, the sole Issue will be the
confidence of the people In the repub'
lican party. Hayes and Wheeler In
1876 was about as weak a ticket q,
could have been nominated. Four year,
later the republican party had stronger
men to nominate than Gen. Garfield.
But campaigns are frequently
won In spite Of the candidates fol-
whom they are nominally prosecuted
The real iHsue is generally merely on,
OF party supremacy, 1t Is too early
now to talk about tickets and tn,
time can be much more proftably en-
ployed. A full year must elapse be-
fore the nominating conventions anC
there is a session of congress whicl

organization Is to control tn,

being decided day by day Il

timent Is crystallzlng itself along Ger
tain lines which will not be MATERIAL,

A GAME OF BLUFF.

Mr.. Dillon, on behalf Ct the Union
Pacific, Is playing o bold game Of
bluff with the government. HlH
impudeut letter to Secretay Teller,
presenting q set.off claim for over
two millions Of dollars for extra mail
compensation, Is on a par with the
policy which the corporation has
pursued from Its completion up to the
present time In dealing with the gov.
eminent. The Union Pacific has
had a 7ory lenient creditor In the
United States and 1t has worked the
mine for all II was worth. 1t remains
to be seer whether there Is not q
point at whi,h patience ceases to be q
virtue.
Mr.. Teller had taken the propei
course In directing the promp. inStl-
tuition Of proceedings against the road
for the recovery Of a p~ortien of the
amount now due the government,
The suit should DO pushed TO a speedy
decision. The Thurman act has beer
persistently evaded by the corporation
which was built by the people Of the
United States and paid for twice ovel
through the generosity Of the govern
ment.
II the Union Pacific Is now unabl,
to meet the interest on Its bonds 1t be
comes an interesting question how l
expects to pay the principal when |
falls due. Lately the road has beer
compelled to burden Itself with al
additional mortgage of $4,000, 600
secured by q lien on Its branch lines
Interest must be paid on these bond
and will be, even though the priol
claims Of the government are IS inso'
lently disregsrded as they have beer
In the past.
From 1894 TO 1898 the whole bur.
den of indebtedness resting on the
Union and Central Pacific companies
falls due. The government has Issued
to help build the Union Pacific $50,
13o. 512, and unpaid interest has &C.
crued sufficiently to Increase the total
sum to $54 778, 754. Who believes
that twelve years hence the company
can llquldate this enormous indebted
