One thing is always to be said in favor
of small fruit culture over large fruits
The grower can count, with decent care,
on an annual crop. Pears, apples, peach
es, plums, ETC., fail totally every few
years, but the berries do not fail one
season in ten; and when they fail par
TALLY the higher prices make partial or
total amends for the small crop. Berries,
too, can be raised in one year, or less,
after planting, but for the large fruits
one must wait three or four years at
least, and when he happens to get full
crop now and then most of his COMPETE
tors have the same. When mans To-

If farmers would try their COWS by
setting each cows milk by itself, and
then make the cream into butter sepa-

in the churning required. Some cream

tanned is without color or grain. By put

that his COW gives all the milk that is

The Agent OF the Navajo Tribe Turns

tIves Free.
d. NJ. Riordan, of the Navajo Indian
agency, writes to the commissioner of Indian
affairs, under date of Fort Defiance, Arizona,
May 5, that he was recently informed that u
boy had been killed by member of Fran
cisco Captains" band. An investigation fol-
lowed, and it was ascertained that the boy
was u slave of the murderer. The agent
says:
Tho owners Of slaves have always held
that they had absolute power over them, and
thought as little of killing one of them as
they would dog They beat and starved
them, as the mood possessed, and, in short,
acted toward them as the slave drivers gem
orally do. Consequently they seemed unable
to comprehend why took SO much intercs
in dead slave, or why should bother my
head about such tritie. l learned
from Francisco Captain that the entire fam
lily of the murdered boy and five other per-
sons were held as slaves; that the original
slaves were two Moqui girls who were bought
for corn four generations ago; that all their
descendants were considered slaves and SO
treated, all of which he considered o perfectly
natural thing to do.
Some time ago the father of the murdered
boy asserted his right to be free. The killing
oil the boy was Thought to be the right thlng
to remind him of his dependent condition.
Knowing the tedious, expensive, and uncer-
tain process of securing conviction under
our laws, especially in the territorial courts,
the difficulty in procuring witnesses, &C.,
/ determined tot at least secure the liberation
of all the remaining slaves and demanded
that all those now among the Indians who are
held in bondage should be set free. They
said it would completely upset them, &c.
old villain xvan nd
to know "who will take care of me if my
slaves are taken away p" Agent Riordan, ac-
cording to his report, insisted that all Of the
slaves should be freed, and the Indians finally
accoded to his demand He estimates that
there are about 800 persons held in slavery by
this tribe, some of whom are war captives,
while others are the results of trades or pur-
chases The descendants of these, he says,
are always considered slaves. The Indian
bureau has approved the stand taken by
Agent Riordan and will render him every
assistance possible in carry out his plans.

circular for the information of disbursing
officers and officers and agents authorized to
purchase supplies has been issued from the
office of the first comptroller of the treasury.
Attention is called to the fact that many of
the acts Of congress making appropriations
classify the appropriations under general
heads, followed by a statement showing tho
particular service to which they are to be
respectively applied. Comptroller Lawrence
says: Disbursing officers arc required TO re-
turn, with their accounts. separate schedules
of the expenditure for each of the desig-
mated specific objects, which must
be indicated upon the face Of the
vouchers. Tho ordinary annual appropria-
tion acts are made for the service Of a specific
fiscal year. When such act authorizes the
purchase Of supplies, they should be made,
as nearly as practicable, in an amount equal
to tho requirements Of the service for that
year. and not in excess Of the gross amounts
appropriated. If it becomes apparent that
the appropriation is in excess of the require
ments of the service of the fiscal year, IL is
not lawful to expend the whole appropriation, |,
and thus accumulate supplies for the next
| fiscal year. The excess Of tho sum appro-
priated beyond that required for the service
of the fiscal year for which it is mado should
be left unexpended to be carried at the proper
| time to the credit of the surplus fund"
The appropriation for the support Of the
Freedmans hospital and asylum is set forth
in the circular as an illustration In which q
total sum of $4,000 is assigned in specific
amounts to seven different objects under one
general head. The circular is designed to
prevent recurrence of conflict between
disbursing and accounting officers, such as
recently arose in the case Of the above named
hospital. In that case an unexpended bal
ance for one specific object was transferred to
another object named in the appropriation
bill, while the total expenditure was kept
within the sum Appropriated.

Concerning the Right TO Bolt.

Tho republican party cannot be built up by
being torn down. If each man is to declare
war upon the party whenever the candidate
of his choice is not nominated in a conven-
tion, Of course anarchy will follow, just rs it
would II men only held themselves bound by
laws for which their favorite legislators had
voted. 1t is easy enough to prove that no
man is bound to vote a party ticket which
does not suit him. 1t is equally
easy to show that no party often makes a
ticket which really plcases voters enough TO
elect 1t. Presidents are chosen by the mag
nanmity or party fidelity of those who are
defeated in the conventions whenever there
is a contest over tho nomination. Seward
could have defeated Lincoln in 1860, Blaine
could have defeated Hayes in 1876, and
Grant could have defeated Garfield in 1880,

IF slavery is one of tho institutions cher
ished among the Navajo Indians, as the story
told by Agent Riordan to the Indian bureau
would seem to show it is a little bit singular
that no attention had been directed to the
fact until the, murder of a slave boy excited
the agent to action upon it. The Navajo
tribe, in common with others, have
been the recipients of care at
the hands of missionaries and other
good people for long time past. 1t
Is not likely that their backsliding into
slaveholding is of recent date. Indeed, the
miserable history of tho murdered slave
boys ancestors, as related by the agent, shows
it to have run back many years, 1t is very
little to the credit of any ono who has had
to do with tho tribe that the custom was not
ventilated and cured long ago. Agent Rior-
dan is TO be commended for his prompt and
proper course and the Indian bureau for ap.
proving it. There arc some three hundred
people yet held in slavery, whose instant re-
lief should be enforced.

Alabama Claims.

The court of commissioners of Alabama
claims rendered judgments yesterday as fol-
lows; Joseph Antoine, $1,Ol7; Antonio Luce,
S457; Victoria d. Hayes, $1s7; Antoine Joa-
quin, 1886; Rufus Geyer, $1,659. These
claims were all of the first class, for direct
losses. Judgment was also rendered in favor
of ]. Thomas Yose for $207 (second class, for
war premiums). In all the above mentioned
cases interest at per cent. was allowed from
the date of loss to March 81, 1877. The fol-
lowing named cases were dismissed-or, in
other words, Judgment was rendered for tho
United States Thomas Preira da Silva, An
tome Silva and Antoine Jose da Silva. These
claims were under class one, for direct losses.
1t is believed that the unexpended balance OF
the Geneva award will be sufficient to pay the
entire amount of all the judgments which
will be rendered in class one and about 40 per
cent. of the judgments in class two.
