Col \. Hardee, known as Honey Moon
Hardee, of Jacksonville, whose death was
announced a few days ago, WAS a nephew
OF Gen. W. j. Hardee, and was distinguish
ed for his cultivated mind, gallant war
record, and was considered the most ex-
tensive orange grower in Florida. He
obtained great prominence a few years
ago by his famous conclusion theory"
in which he advocated the destruction of
insects and disease germs, and the tertili-
cation of land by means of conclusion,
produced by the firing of cannon and
otherwise. He made specious arguments
in support of his theory. but it was
eclipsed about that time by the ''blue
glass" mania. He was generally cOnsid-
cred a little cranky on this subject, but
stranger theories than his have eventually
proven correct, and who shall say that
''concussion'' was not worthy of a scien-
tific Investigation?

A Protest Against Increasing the
Number of Naval Officers.


The bill of Mr.. Oates, of Alabama,
which provides for taking into the navy
all the naval cadets who were under
graduates Of the Naval Academy on Au-
gust ), 1882, does not meet the approval
of the Secretary of the Navy, and there is
no good reason why it should. There is
no place for these cadets in the navy, and
why the government should be saddled
with the burden of providing living for
them when there is no service for them to
perform it is not easy to see. In August,
1852. there were 50 officers to each of the 81
ships then in the service. That was about
one officer to every five seamen, and their
pay amounted TO s., SO, 400 a year. The
act providing that no more officers
from the Naval Academy should
be received into the service than were
necessary to fill vacancies was wise. 1t
would be foolish to set it aside now be-
cause a lot of young men want to get into
the navy. They claim that because they
were educated for the navy they ought to
be provided Tor in that service. They do
not seem to take into consideration the
fact that they were given their education
at the public expense. The government
has claim on them, but they
certainly have no claim on the govern
ment. If Mr.. Oates bill were to pass
there would be 200 more officers in the SER
vice than there is any use for. The bill
would require an increase of $4,000 an
nually in the naval appropriation, and
would, eventually, according to the Secre-
tary's figures, take $10,OOO,OOO out of the
Treasury. Mr.. Oates bill is step back
ward that Congress will hardly take.

three months old. The sheep weigh
as follows: Ram "Gloster" 24IH
pounds, yearling ram 1873 pounds,
ewes, I7IH pounds, yearlings I64
and I4o pounds. Why don't our
farmers breed more mutton sheep
now that there is such a good market
for them? Will it not pay when at
three months they can sell lamb

them to shrink the hogs after paying 10015c
per 100 pounds more than the stock was worth,
and docking very lightly or not at all.
There was somewhat freer movement in the
sheep market and as a result steadier feeling
prevailed. Both shippers aid the local trade
seemed inclined to take hold and there was a
prospect that there would be a good clearance
at full Wednesdays prices.
j. W. Rumsey 6 Co. say: at looks now as
if some good parties are willing to invest in
wheat at current figures and from Kansas we
learn farmers will not sell at present values and
are stacking their grain. This will naturally
check receipts and have tendency to advance
prices. We therefore would buy and keep on
the long side.
The Chandler Brown Co. say: 1.-The bears in
wheat have been using the declining markets IN
England as an argument for lower prices here.
The fact is that prices are always on the decline
there when weak markets can be quoted from
this side. We venture to predict that a sharp
advance in prices here would be responded to
very quickly by London and Liverpool markets.
We have frequently had foreign markets quoted
dull and heavy, rather easier, etc., for days at
time, when the actual figures show but little or
no change"
Milmine, Bodman Co. say: SIT is generally
understood that in wheat there is good line OF
shorts out and that they will not stand on them
long time, but meanwhile we shall need some
thing more substantial than shorts covering to
maintain the advance any length of time The
low price of our off grades is reported as having
depressing effect on shippers and we do not
wonder at it. We think if they could hold their
No. wheat back for q week or two they would
get much nearer the prices Of No. for it,
Mccormick Kennett s. Day say: ''The bears
say prices will 90 lower than ever when the
spring wheat harvest is over, as farmers will be
obliged to market good deal to meet urgent
needs but even admitting decline of or cts,
which is possible, we still think the long side
softest and believe it will pay big dividend in
the end. We believe provisions will sell higher,
but tailers will be shaken out if possible before
the final squeeze

DlSGRACEFUL RIOT.
An Iowa Mob Tar a Prosecuting At
torney in Prohibition Law

Iowa CITY, Ia, Aug. 13.-The city is in
great excitement tonight. The streets are
crowded with people and fears of violence
pervades all good citizens This afternoon
at trial of two breweries of the city before a
justice of the peace in q country township,
a mob of 200 attacked the prosecuting
lawyer, named W. H. Bailey, stripped his
clothing off and tarred him. His life was
narrowly saved by the deputy sheriff. The
mob, many of them crazed
by drink, tried to catch the principal witness,
named Swsfford, and would have hanged
him had they found him. A constable was
severely cut with knives. The roughs came
to town this evening aud for an hour had
possession of the streets, the sheriff's force
and city police being powerless. After sup
per they found Swafford, and knocked him
and his brother down on the street. and
would have killed them had they not been
seereted in store. A meeting of citizens
has been held and the outrages vigorously
condemned, and special police ap-
pointed for the night. The best people of
all parties are urging obedience to the law.
The ringleaders in this trouble are known,
and warrants have been issued for their ar
rest. 1t would be dangerous to serve them
tonight, owing to the intlamed condition of
the lower classes.
9p. m.-The city has become qGieted
down, and fears OF further trouble are dis
PEELED. 1t has been discovered that half
dozen roughs of this city were reinforced by
large body OF thugs from outside, and that
all such suspicious characters have left the
town.
