Fish for the Farmer.

No man in the United States is so
well fixed for having fresh fish to eat
or sell as the farmer. They can, by
buying a scraper, do all the work
necessary for making one, two or
three ponds, with their own labor
and their own teams; and if they have
not got spring or running
water, they can pump enough
to supply their ponds with
a ten foot windmill. The requi-
sites for success are not many: IN
The pond must be at one side of the
stream or runway, so that heavy
rain or freshet cannot wash the fish
over the dam. (2) The pond where
the fish live through the summer
must be shallow, with a mud bottom,
but muddy water running in is not
desirable. 90 The pond where the
fish are wintered must be ten feet
deep, with mud bottom, and not dis
turbed in winter by cutting ice. "a
The fish grow faster by being fed. (5)
German carp are the only desirable
kind. (6) No other fish or turtles of
any kind should be in the ponds. "a
The ponds must be 80 arranged that
every drop of water can be drawn
off.
The carp are not ready takers of
bait, so they are not so liable to be
stolen as other fish. The pipe for
drawing the water off can be made of
wood, with leather homemade valve
at the inside end. Around this inside
end Slated box should be built to
keep the fish from going out and the
from clogging the pipe.

Corporation Lands.
San Antonio Times

One of the dangerous tendencies
growing out of the ownership of
large property interests in the United
States is found in the fact that vast
bodies of the public domain in our
government are granted to private
corporations. The government has
recently granted to an English or
Scotch company a vast body of land,
either in or near the border of New
Mexico, which in area is almost equal
to an empire. The same mistake (if
such it may be called has been made
in Texas. The time was, and only
few years back, when the man in
Texas who owned in his own right
10000 acres of land, was considered
large land owner, but now the man of
10000 acres is barely considered free
holder. The time may soon come in
the history of this country when the
folly of large land grants, and espec-
tally those made to corporations, will
be fully and forcibly demonstrated.
When the government was formed

guard against the possibility of sys-

exist in England, provided in her con-
stitution against "entailments" and
"primogeniture," and the same pro-
visions are found in most. If not all.

of such constitutional limitations has
never been doubted, and when lands

Only Half True.


The charge that the Democrats in
congress stand in the way of tariff re-
vision is not true, though it may be
half true. A majority of the Demo-
Gratis in both houses would be glad to
have the tariff settled by the Repub-
licans, and to avoid trouble when
they come into power in the next
congress. But these Democrats want
real reduction and not sham meas
ure. On the other hand, a majority
of the Republicans, aided by a
few Pennsylvania and Georg a Demo-
Gratis, want TO snake believe" revise
the tariff without any real reduction.
Do Judge Kelley and Samuel j. Ran
dali want to pass a tariff measure
that amounts to anything? OF course
not. They will prefer to let matters
rest as they are. A majority of the
Democrats of the house were ready
to adopt the senate schedule on
metals, more liberal than that of the
ways and means committee, but the
Republicans forgot their haste and
refused the proposition with derision.

The Penitentiaries.
[Brenham Banner. /

The minority report of the senate
committee opposes the ratification of
the leases now claiming so much at
tention, and it favors resumption on
the part of the states. The STATES
MAN says there are those who repeat
Gov. Roberts sentiment, that the
state should not make money out OF
convicts; but these very people want
individuals to make money out of
them" 1t has been estimated that it
costs the state on an average over
$500 for each convict sent to the peni-
Tertiary. a majority of the convictS
are sent for short terms, say from two
to five years, there being probably
more two year men than any other
term. Now it is evident that the
state does not and cannot get $500 for
the work ola convict for two years,
so the state actually loses money on
her cOnvicts no matter how they are
worked. The people are taxed to pay
the expenses of the courts in convict
ing criminals and if they can he so
managed as to be made to reimburse
the state we are unable to see that
any injustice is done to the convict.
Once convicted of a felony the crimi-
nal forfeits all right to sympathy and
sentimentality; he is entitled to hui
name treatment; he should be suffi-
GENTLY clothed to protect him from
the lnclemency of the weather and
given plenty of wholesome food. and
then be made to earn his living by
hard labor. If his labor can be made
to pay the expenses of his trial, COLI
viction, transportation to the peniten-
tiary and maintenance, it is nothing
more than just to honest people who
pay the taxes. The proper policy for
the state to pursue is to make all it
can out of the penitentiary, either by
leasing it or assuming control, which,
ever may be deemed most expedient.
