THE City Item says that Enquiry at
the United States Land Office devel-
ops the fact that 100000 acres or
more of the United States lands have
been entered, in the western parishes
mostly, within the last four or five
years, and that these lands have mot
been placed on the assessment rolls,
IN consequence of there being no APP
preparation to secure proper records
from the United States Land Office.
In the Western States, where land
entries are being affected continually,
appropriations are always made for
this purpose, and the State Isegisla-
ture should not fail to take similar
action. The government has sold
these lands at the low price of Sl.s5
per acre, but nearly all,of tits well
worth from % to $5, if not more, thus
adding abont sle,OOo.00O TO the as
sessment rolls Of Stale and parishes.
Most Of these lands are now held BY
rich Northern capitalists, 100000 by
the Texas Pacific Railway Company,
all Of whom are we'll able to pay the
taxes, which Would form qnite an
item in the present Strengthened con-
dition Of State and parish finances.p

A Sensible Tariff Speech.

1 AT tariff meeting in the Opera. House
at Youngstown, Ohio, on March 1st, Mr.
J. G. Butler, Jr., made an effective speech
some good points from which we copy from
the Youngstown Ne,os-R Register of sMarcf
liz
lIR; CHAIRMAN i The remark is fire.
quently made that nothing new can he
said on the tariff subject" This is in !
measure true. The question is one that
concerns US all, and, therefore, even if
nothing new can be said, it will do NO
harm to say over again some of the things
that we have read and talked about.
The second official act performed by our
forefathers after the formation of the Con-
stitution was to pass a tariff law. and this
was really the first business transaction
| after the formation of the Constitution
the first act passed being merely manda,
tory, providing for the oath to be taken by
| the officers OF the first Congress. The pre-
amble to this first tariff act as follows /:
whereas. 1t is necessary for the SUPPORT
| OF the Government and for the discharge
OF the debts OF the United States for the
encouragement and protection of manu-
facturers, that duties be laid on goods.
wares, and merchandise imported. There
We therefore see that this subject was
clearly understood, and that our first law
glvers had wonderful foresight as to the
future OF this country. The doctrine of
Protection was good then, is good now.
and good always.
Before the Declaration of Independence
1t was the policy of England to discourage
manufacturing in the United States. and.
as you doubtless know. prohibitory laws
were passed and everything done to dis
concert and defeat the manufacturing in
terests in word, if England had had her
way then. or could have her way now. this
country would be in the same condition
that Ireland is in.
l have no doubt that, could Ireland have
government of its own, and this govern
ment would pass some good Protection
laws, the country would soon build up and
It's people become happy and prosperous.
hndlng plenty OF employment at home in
stead OF having to go abroad.
am satisfied that, if law could he
passed, or if the Constitution could be SO
amended, that the present tariff laws of
the country could not be changed for the
next ten years, we would have such de-
cade OF prosperous times as the country
has never seen before.
In my mind it is very certain that. if |
the Morrison bill under consideration shall |
pc passed and the tariff consequently re- !
duced, one OF two things must happen
either the manufacturer must close his |
mills or the lab0ring and mill men must |
submit to still further reductions. There /
is no middle ground. Aside from labor. |
tnere Is nothing that can be reduced.

Dear VSrg5lsi0n.-I read in YOUR this
weeks issue an article in which you saw
that you think it time that the Readjus-
tiers and Straightout Republicans were
dropping old differences and coming TO-
gether for the common good of the ReDub-
lican party. Well, as for Straightout Re-
publlcans, / have met none, but can as
sure you that from all that can learn.
that so far as the Readjusters are con-
cerned, they in this county will be solid
for the Republican nominees of the Chi
cago convention, and with such organiza-
ton in this county as you have in the
grand old county of Augusta, and with
such organizers as Craig, Noon, Rollers,
Ham1ltOns and ParkinS, and a host of
others that could mention, feel salts
fed old Rockbridge could be redeemed. I
have talked to good many Readjusters
and all with whom / have talked tell me
that they never intend to vote again with
the Democratic party, and that they are
completely disguised with the actions of
the present Legislature. am of the opSn-
ion that it will, and would to God that
the morbid greed of the Democrat;c..party
for place and powerwill sink it into oblivion.
We stand very much in need of good
party paper in this county, and 1 wish
that 1t was in my power to put copy of

Speech of Mr.. R1ddlebcrger.

| On the 18th inst, before the final vote
was taken on the bill to restore Fitz-Johr
Porter to the army, Senator Riddlebergel
made the following remarks
Mr.. President, if 7 knew nothing more
about this matter than what have heard
on this floor, should possibly feel with
the Senator from Michigan Mr.. Congerl.
| do not deem it necessary to make any
apology for the vote [ shall cast. / was
one of those who participated in what is
known in one section of this country as the
second battle of Manassas. Invent through
it all. | do know that on what is called in
the hist Dry of the war and best known as
1.-THE railroad fight. that the troops of
Fltz-John Porter were on one side of that
railroad and the troops of him whom :. we
yet call StOnewall Jackson were on the
other. do know that in that fight there
were times when less than ten PAGES
marked the distance between the banners
OF one army and the banners of the other
l do know, sir, that men who were shot on
one side of that railroad rolled down its
banks on that side, and men who were shot
on the other side rolled down it's banks on
that. do know, sir, as say, that Fitz-
John Porter's troops fought on one side
and Stonewall JackSOn'S on the other
That battle was after this So-called disobe-
dience OF orders and whatever may have
been the diSObedience, if you choose so to
call it, of FitZ-John Porter on the 10Th, it
seems to me that every man who feels that
he ought to do justice to him will estimate
his patriotism and fidelity by what he did
on the Both. 1t was Butterfields division
that confronted ours in that contest, and
Butteriields division was in Fitz-John
Porter's corps. There could have been no
treason in the heart of a man who COM
manded at that time the Federal troops
against the then Confederate troops.
say. therefore, that in my judgment
Fltz-John Porter ought to be restored. If
be disobeyed an order and simply disobeyed
1t in the exercise of what he thought was
9 proper discretion, God knows he has suf-
Tered enough. l can recall an instance al |
most similar to it when General jackson
told Garnett that he must go to the rear of |
MS command and suffer under arrest at |
Harrisonburg for withdrawing the Second |
Infantry from the stone fence at Kern |
iown, but yet, within year. Garrett was 1
restored and he atteSted his fidelity to what |
le believed to be right by the sacrifice of |
lis life at the battle of Antietam.
/ hope, sir, that when we restore Fitz- |
John Porter we shall restore him wholly,
ind that we shall do to him that Justice |
which in my judgment belongs to him and |
,ught to have been done for him some
years ago.

"Like Hot Cakes IS

1.-THE above is an old-time expression, and
is nearly as 'old as the hills, y but yet it is
occasionally brought into good use, and
placed in position where lit counts and
adds great weight to the words accompany
ing it. This is true in the following testi-
monial sent to DR.. s. B. Hartman 81 Co.,
by Messrs. Parret & Sons, druggists, of
Greenfield, Ohio, who say:
~Send us some more advertising matter.
Your medicine is selling like hot cakes.
Send us a good supply, for we need it

Those men know when they handle a
good thing. Judging from the above, Pc
RUNA must be in good demand in that

table ingredients, druggists feel safe in
recommending it to their friends. Send

The proprietor of a popular saloon in St.
Louis kept missing money from the cash
drawer. Finally he began to suspect one
of the barkeepers on the night turn, to
whom he gently limited his supicion. Still
the money went, and at last he charged
the suspected party with taking it. He
Indignantly resented the charge, and was
permitted to remain on condition that he
found the thief. On taking the cash draw
er out it was found that the mice had
made hole in the compartment where the
bills were kept, and had carried off num-
Der of greenbacks with which to make
nests.
