ALMA,

|Rrmlng operations have been badly set
hack.
It e claimed by Mr.. J. F. Berry. Of
Alma, Pembina county, writing to the
Grafton News and Times, that frozen
wheat Is suitable for seed. He states
that there was hardly anything else sown
In his neighborhood last spring, and that
the crop Is maturing as we'll as tina. which
was raised from the most carefully saved
seed.
Mr. Bethel Waind. Of Alma, Pembins
county, had eleven acres Of wheat this
fall, which yielded fifteen bushels to the
acre. and which was never plowed OF
seeded. Last years crop was too ripe
when cut and shelled out badly. Mr.
Wand allowed the land to lie over, in,
tending to summer-fallow it. But thit
spring he noticed q good stand Of
wheat among the old stubble, and con
Guided tn let it alone and see what il
would come to. The result is, as stated
above, fifteen bushels TO the acre. 1t il
argued from this, that a portion, if not al
OF the wheat can be sown here in thu
fall, instead Of leaving all the work TO b,
done in the spring. Every settler know
how important to the crop are the early
spring moisture and the early growtl,
and it would seem ~ though this mod,
Of seeding were worth the trial, on lin
tied scale, at all events.
| THE above items are taken from th,
Darlington News. As to the use o
frosted wheat for seed, not few will b,
disposed to disagree with Mr.. Berry,
he has been correctly reported. w,

Exemption Of Mortgages.

Upon this subject, reiterating some of the
points made by THE WATcHMAN in the re-
cent discussion, we publish the following
communication:
Mr.. EditOr:-There is no doubt but what
our people desire to relieve man of any in
justice he may be laboring under upon any
mortgage he may happen to place upon his
real estate, provided it can be shown that
any injustice exists, and provided also if the
relief proposed is real and substantial and
not snare or delusion. 1t is a matter of
record, and therefore not of dispute, that the
law in Massachusetts and New Jersey ex-
empting mortgages from taxation resulted,
in the first instance, in the mortgagor paying
both his interest las he is bound to do, with
out reduction on account of the change) and
the taxes upon the mortgaged land. And
the attempt to relieve the MORTGAGE of his
share of the taxes resulted in saddling upon
real estate the chief burden, taken from the
mortgage note, thus in practice relieving
the capitalist from his share of the public
burden and placing it back upon the real
estate and other taxed property. The de-
mand for exemption of mortgage notes al
most always springs from grasping indi-
viduals who have money to loan, and until
it can be shown that money at interest
should not bear proper proportion of taxes,
such demand ought not, in Justice, to be
granted, and the man who lends money is
not one who needs or deserves exemption.
If Benedict sells Edmunds farm and takes
mortgage note, he is none the poorer unless
he has made fool of himself in the trade,
and is as well able to pay his taxes on the
mortgage as he was on the farm. The at
tempt to transfer the tax from the mort
gagor to the mortgage resulting in fastening
the tax chiefly upon the real estate it natu-
rally follows that to grant this, instead of
being a relief is a snare and delusion.
doubt very much if there is any considerable
demand for this save that which springs
from, or is promoted by capitalists, who Ill
timately expect to reap advantage. moved to
special eXertion to escape taxes because of
the low rates of interest they are obliged to
accept for their money Certainly now
when the borrower is better off than ever
before, having realized enough from the de-
cline in interest rates to pay all his taxes-is
not a time when he would be likely to make
this stir.

Negro Education.

The Acknowledgement of several mil
lions of slaves put a severe strain upon
free suffrage in this country. The act
carried with it obligations of the gravest
and most responsible character. With
out education, the ballot is menace to
freedom. To place it in the hands of
a million freedmen-ignorant, supersti-
tious, benighted and debased by servi-
tude-was stretching to the utmost ten
sion the application of the theory of a
free government. 1t is of little prac-
tical consequence now what were the
real motives which actuated the men
by whose votes unqualified suffrage
was given to the negroes. As a meas
ure of practical politics, it can be
hardly claimed to have served the ends
of partisan supremacy in the South,
and time has not, in any satisfactory
degree, vindicated the wisdom of the
craftsmanship that urged the measure
The thing to be considered is that ne =
gro suffrage is an established fact, that
it gives the South forty-two electoral
votes in national election and adds
forty-two votes to its strength in con-
gress. In certain sense the balance
of power in national affairs is in the
hands of million voters, the great mass
of whom were either slaves or the chill
dren of slaves, and who, besides blank

that the politicians at home are very bitter
against Senator Edmunds because he did
not come out heartily in support OF the
republican ticket II senator were To
be elected next week, they think that his
return would be doubtful. In two years,
however, this feeling is expected to sub
side, so that another term will come to
him as easily as have his other three. Up
in Vermont the republicans are very loyal
in presidential years, and they do not
easily forgive lukewarmness, but the move
ment against Mr.. Edmunds really has an
altogether different meaning. II is en-
gineered and promoted by q few rich men,
who are themselves anxious to take his
place For years there has been persist
ent naggng OF him at home, and the threat
has twice found voice in definite form
that another candidate would contest his
election to the senate. But both times,
without lifting finger, he has come back.
But inns continued barking at his heels has
rather reused the old Roman, and he says,
with great distinctness, that il there is any
opposition to him he will not be a candidate
again. He feels that he can afford to 90 out
OF public life, where he works harder to earn
$4,000 year than he would at law to make
the same amount in month. Lately he
bought lot in the West End, and will build
o house there larger than the one on
Thomas Circle he has lived in for years.
Out OF the senate, he could earn $4,000
year in the supreme court, go to Europe
every summer, and be very much at his
ease. His only remaining daughter is in
poor health, Mrs. Edmunds is not well, and
the senator himself has aged within a year
or two. To him the law and his library
look very fascinating, and the drudgery OF
the senate is getting to be an old story. He
is little more than ready to retire. Who
is to take his place? No one now in the
senate can do it. Not one of the men in
Vermont mentioned for his place is above
the ordinary politician. The country has
a n in t1,A
firmly for Edmunds. AS q senator said, the
other day, We should need Edmunds, no
matter what his politics WERE Not one
question in one hundred before us is politi-
cal, and even II he had no politics it would
be public misfortune to have him leave
the senate"

tribunal.

THE legislature having adjourned,
the Patrons Rural thinks the agitation
of the tax question " may as well be suf-
fered to drop" The case with the Rural,
so far as we have observed, is that it has
not, in any sense of the word, agitated
this question. Ithas nothing to" drop"
1t passively favored the Douglass bill,
but it has never undertaken to show
how that measure would or could help
the farmer; that it would not prove, in
so far its provisions could be enforced
at all, veritable boomerang to the
debtor. The utter impracticability of
that proposed measure of g relief" has
been pointed out. Every man of af-
fairs knows that it could not and would
not work, except to produce disorder,
distress and bankruptcy. The Rural
is no true friend of the farmer in sup
porting such measure. The Douglass
bill, could such an homogeneous string
of propositions have been enacted,
must inevitably have been amended so
as to permit covenants between the
mortgageor and mortgage that the
former should pay all the taxes on the
mortgaged property, and this would be
the exemption of mortgages from taxa
tion-a proposition which the Rural
says it does not favor. But the Gre
form " it favors must end in this. The
exploded theory of joint ownership by
debtor and creditor for purposes of tax
alton cannot work. If deductions for
mortgages are allowed, innumerable
and deception is thrown open and, as
we have shown and as any one can see,
many serious difficulties, in widely vary
ing tax-rates and in other ways, arise
when the land lies in one town or state
and the mortgage is held in another.
The tax must rest upon the full as
where it is situated. If the mortgage
is exempted, as we have shown from
the experience of Massachusetts,, the
general taX-rate would be increased by
the exemption, and the borrower would
have to help pay this increase. He
would pay upon the full value of
his taxable property, and the rate
would be increased by reason of the
exemption of his creditor. We have
shown that the exemption on mortgages

THE Washington correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser says that bill
has been prepared by some of the best
lawyers practicing before the supreme
court for the reorganization and in
crease of that tribunal. Its text was
submitted some time ago to Senator
Edmunds, who is in favor of devising
some plan by which the business before
the court can be fastened AS it stands
to-day, the dockets contain cases enough
for nearly four years to come, and the
average time spent from beginning
suit in the district court to its settle
ment in the supreme court is between
six and seven years. This bill provides
for two new circuit judges in each of
the eight present circuits, who will
constitute board of appeals in GRIM
inal cases tried before the courts in
their circuits, and thus hasten their
determination. The supreme bench is
to be increased from eight to fifteen
justices, with a chief justice, as now.
1t is to sit in two divisions, the chief
justice presiding over one and the
oldest justice in commission over the
other-seven justices to constitute a
quorum of either division, and each to
hold its own sitting and try its cases in
dependently. On constitutional ques-
tions the whole court are to sit, twelve
justices to be necessary to form quo
rum. The bill is long one, but these
are the salient points of it, and if Mr..
Edmunds gives assent it will be pushed
this session. Despite the cry that the
democrats are trying to get control of
the supreme court for party purposes,
it is acknowledged by all who know
anything about it that some plan must
be devised to clear the dockets of that
tribunal.
