London Times: 1t appears from
recent statistics that the year 1888
was favorable one for tea cultivation
in Assam, the prices obtained being
better than those of the previous year,
and the outturn being nearly 7,0O0,-
600 pounds in excess of the yield of
1882. Many new gardens were open
ed in the course of last year. The
total area ofland held by tea planters
in 1888 was 923, 664 acres, or an in
crease of 40, 302 acres over the area
of 1882, and of 2l7,015 acres over
the area of18S1. The yield of tea
during the year was 52,171.2 POT

Sacred Cattle in Texas.


New Mexican Stock Grower John
ONeil, a cattle raiser OF life long ex-
perience in Victoria county. Texas,
called ON the Stock Grower this week
and conversation with him proved
most interesting. Mr.. O'Neil is one
of the very few breeders, in this
country, of Brahma, or sacred cattle
of the East Indies. 1t would at first
seem farcical to speak or raising
"menagerie stock" but Mr.. O'Neil
will soon be able to prove to stock
men Of the west that this strain will
show as many good qualities as the
much-talked-of Heretords and Dur
hams.
The first sacred cattle brought to
America, consisted of two lots, one of
which went t0 Georgia and the other
to Louisiana. In 1879 Mr.. O'Neil
noticed cows near his home which
were a cross between the natives and
the Brahmas, and were the property
of neighbOr. The winter and spring
of 1879 were exceptionally hard on
cattle, and the Idle oil" was some
thing tremendous. One observing
friend saw In the spring
that the Brahma COWS were
IN excellent condition, and after ex-
periments be concluded that the
breed would be good one to cross
with the native stock. Mr.. O'Neil
secured bull and two cows, thorough
breds, from the Louisiana herd and
afterwards increased the number from
Georgia. The result of the cross was
satisfactory. They are of good size,
fine beef qualities and possess the
best rustling qualities of any breed.
Mr.. O'Neil obtains the best results
from a cross between the sacred cattle
with pure Durhams, and the malt
stock from this cross he runs with biz
natives. There is heavy demand il
Texas for the Brshmas, as they arr
called. and it is utterly impossible to
supply it. Mr.. O'Neil intends to
stock ranch in this territory. when
cur New Mexico cattle owners will
have an opportunity of seeing the
sacred cattle. Tue theron. hbreds are
described as being a rich cream color,
and the bulls have very prominent
hump on the shoulder.

A Unique Apartment,

Philadelphia Ledger: Ia the
Lazienki Palace at Warsaw. where
the emperor and Empress of Russia
resided during their recent STAY in
that city, there is an apartment
known as SolomOn's Temple. 1t is
so called because its walls are adorned
with paintings representing several,
incidents in the lite of King Solomon,
such as his famous judgement. the
Dedication of the Temple, the Queen
of Sheba's Visit and SoIomon's d ream.
The painter, Baccarelli, was spared
the trouble of drawing upon his
imagination for the portraits of the
lsraelitish personages, who figured in
the pictures, since the lineaments of
the then reigning King of Poland,
Stanislaus Augustus, who inha bited
the palace, did service for the Jewish
monarch, while his courtiers were
represented on the canvas by Polish.

MP UORRTSONS BOTCH.

On Monday next, then, Mr.. MOrrS0ns tarlil
in its present condition is to be reported to the
House. The sooner the better. This new rad
on industry has done quite harm enough
already. Those who are aware of the condition
of different branches of trade and manufacture
do not need to be told that the alarm and
anxiety which the bill has already caused have
cost the country more than Mr.. Morrison and
his Democratic associates III Congress have ever
helped it in all their lives.
The bill goes to the House, too with nearly
all its original blunders and fOllies Its sense
less horizontal reduction, with Its Senseless
exceptions; its tricky attempt to shlIk response
bility by taking the first and crudest Republican
tariff as a guide it's confusing ENHANCEMENT 0t
three distinct modes of classification; all these
are retained. Only the grammatical abSurdlty at
the end Of the first section has been corrected
The great change that has been made by the
committee is simply this: MIR. Morrison
originally proposed to reduce the duty only 20
per cent on salt and lumber, but put about sixty
articles on the free list, among which were iron,
copper, lead and nickel ores, coal, and timber; (;
the committee puts coal, salt timber and Lumber
ON the free list. and leaves ores to bear the
horizontal reduction in duty. 1t is no secret
that the committee was warned that it would
he hopeless to seek Democratic electoral votes
In New York, New jersey or Pennsylvania, il
ores should be made free. Apparently the COM
mittce fancied that the iron, lead and copper
miners would be satisfied with horizontal
reduction, and that the party could get along
without the coal miners, the salt-workers ana
the lumber men. How correct that calculation
may be the result Will prove.
This is not a time to discuss the merits Of the
several changes proposed. For, as a while, the
bill has no merits 1t is by nobody desired as
an honest means of reducing revenue or REFORM
ing the tariff. 1t is simply political scheme to
catch votes. and as such it will be defeated and
condemned. Mr.. Morrison Is not very wise,
but one must do him the justice to assume that
he does not consider this q decent revenue
measure. Neither Mr.. Morrison himself, nor
any other member of his committee, could have
proposed such a bill with an honest desire to
reduce revenue, for it would increase importa-
tions and consequently the revenue paid, nor
in an honest belief that it would be in any sense
a better tariff than the present. The bill comes
into Congress as political dredge, by which 1t
is hoped to scoop away the bar just enough to
let the Democratic ship into harbor. In any
other aspect, it is disgraceful abortion.
We shall soon see whether it is not an abor-
ton also as political device. The report is
that some Republicans are in doubt whether to
kill it at once, or let it linger long enough to
mako the Democrats trouble. The very best
time to kill bill that is disturbing the industry
of your country, and taking the bread from
laboring men, Messrs. Republicans, is the first
time you have a chance.

MORE BLUNDERING ABOUT RAILROAD

MORE BLUNDERING ABOUT RAILROADS.
There are two ways of looking at the " Inter-
State Commerce. bill which has been agreed
upon by the House Committee. To illustrate,
we may suppose that the prevalence of murder
has induced certain philosophers to prevent that
crime by putting all inhabitants into strait
Jackets. Now the believers in that remedy will
naturally ask only; " Is 1t n sufficient and tight
strait -jacketG' The other people, very likely,
may want TO know whether the arrangement Is
good in any way, whether a man can be ex-
pccted to do as good work for anybody who
hires him, if put into strait-jacket, as he
will do otherwise. But all questions of that sort
the philosophers are presumed to have settled
for themselves at the outset.
Looking at this bill from the point of view Of
our strait jacket philosophers at Washington,
then. it must be said that it does not promise to
conGno anybody, but only to worry everybody
who wears IT, The bill has no merit from this
point of view. 1t has no model IN nature or art
except the scheme of the Irishman to make n
cannon" Take long hole and pour melted
iron round it," Section l says that all charges
by transporters shall be reasonable" but i'll
Section 7, which makes violation Of the act II
misdemeanOr. it is expressly provided that ylo-
lation of the first section shall not be- no
attorney of the United States shall prosecute
nor shall United States cour,s punish for
making unreasonable charges. Section pro-
vidcs that actual damages caused by any viola
tiop of the ac1 may be recovered by the party
Injured in any court of competent jurisdiction
But if man refuses to ship goods because the
charges seem to him unreasonable, how Is he
going to prove actual damages sustained
An attempt is made to define some offence III
Section 2 1t provides that it shall be unlawful
to charge any greater or less rate than Is
charged for other like and cOntempOraneOus
service But no two services conceivable are
like and cOntempOraneous kinds and pack
ages of goods differ directions and modes of
payment differ; times of delivery differ, since
no two shippers can deliver exactly at the same
instant there may be room for the first conner.
while 1t may be impossible to accommodate the
next without an extra car. To cover this, the
section undertakes to require that the same
facilities shall at all times be supplied by any
carrier to all persons. But the blundering bill
provides instead that all carriers shall supply
the same faclites-that stage driver shall also
run railroad, and that railroad company
shall also run steamboats, Were there no
laundering ambiguity of language, it would be-
held by any court physically impossible that
every carrier should at all times have at all
places cars enough to take all passengers and
freight that can be offered. Then it Is further
