The October number of the Ameri-
can Agriculturist very sensibly says
that it is most profitable to be doing
business when most other people are
idle. This applies especially to dairy
ing. SO few dairyIncu can make first
class butter, and SO few can, or will
take the pains to pack it perfectly,
that the demand for fine butter dur
ing the winter, is greater than can be
supplied. The winter dairyman is
now about beginning business. His
cows have been resting during the
hot weather, in the shade of a wood
lot, while he has been busy with his
crops, and now that he has these all
secured, his late fodder AID roots pre-
pared, and his fall pastures in the
finest order, he is ready to begin but
ter making, with every advantage in
his favor. The summer dairyman
has been worrying through the heat,
consuming ice at great cost, and has
succeeded only in getting second
quality of butter, which will sell
twenty-five to fifty per Gent.less titan
that fresh-made i'll wMter. The ne
cessities for winter dafrying are few,
and are easily provided. They are !;
fresh cows, coming in about Septem-
Der; plenty good hay and fodder;
wikh roots asrd snlrateale ut airy. food,
Wick is'cheapers nov ( than at any
other time, because it is in season,
and is abundant; an airy dairy house,
warmed to an even temperature by a
stove, avoids. every difficulty, and the
tdairyanaH is III full control of every
til ing needed:for the best management
.ofhfs Business, instead! lof. fighting
flies, torrid heats, dry weather, and
every other difficulty, as in summer.

The Hon. John Sherman continues
to maintain that every American free
man must he protected in his right to
vote and TO have his vote counted as
he casts it. This position of Mr.. Sher-
mans is very disgusting to the demo-
cratic party, but it may be added that
it is helping the republican ticket in
Ohio to several thousand votes.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
Abou. water ana the waterworks.

To the Editors of the Appeal:
As citizen of Memphis for the past
thirty-seven years, and taxpayer fer the
most of the time, ask the privilege of
publicly protesting against the city au-
thorities buying the present water COM
papy out and, if you will allow me, l will
give some of my reasons for so doing.
First-There is a clause in our pres mt
city charter that forbids the authorities to
create debt. This l consider our great
salvation for ali time. Repeal this and
we will soon be back into the same bank
rupted condition from which we have
Just emerged by the aid of this clause. So
long as the citizens knew their true inter-
ests they will never, no, lever, under any
circumstances. consent to the repeal of
this clause to our charter and throw open
the gates wide to create debts by the mil
lion.
Second--There is no good reason for it.
II the city can get good aud pure water
there is no reason why the present water
company can't do the saue, and they can
be made to do so, and the only reason
they do not do SO is that so long as they
are allowed to collect their enormous rev.
enue for the stuff they now furnish, of
course they are content, but they are very
willing now to sell out 10 the city at $780,
600, the water works that cost originally
only $780, 900, and they have been collect
ing for the past eight or ten years not less
than from $50, 900 to 100000 year from
the citizens isnjttstiy. i say unjustly, be-
csuse l do not consider they should be

To the Editors of the Appeal:
From what has been said of late in refer
ence to the waterworke -. ,aa to ho-
iee'o great fraud has been perpetrated
upon US OF Memphis. Yet we well re-
member the careful examination made as
to the Wolf river water as to its quality
and supply. and the favorable results of
such examination, which induced our
citizsns to invest their money where it
would do the most good, The Holly sys-
tenn, or plan, was found TO be the one that
adapted itself to the locality where no
high elevations could be obtained upon
which to build reservoirs, The system is
somewhat expensive, as the pressure is
taken from the constant working of the en-
CINE, upon which the efficiency of the Fire
department and the sewerage depends.
Unexpectedly, Wolf river water has signal
ly failed to meet the demands of he people
and a change is demanded. o wing to its
muddy condition ii is unfit for the pur-
poses OF life. 1t is, idle and wild to
ticability, even s3ouid we set good
drinking water, is apparent How many
would be required 2, How about the de-
mands of the Fire Department, sewerage,
ete. Connecting The present waterworks
with the Mi>sissippi will not cure the evil
and will never be accomplished. There is
but one way out of this difficulty. 1t is a
suggestion as old as the wsterworks, mad }
by mysf 1t, i. e, to construct a small lake

A BIG BLUFF.
The Wood Preserving Company Threat
ems 10 Sue the Government

BosToN, July 27.-President Young
of the American Wood Preserving Com
pany has written letter to the Secre-
tary of the Navy in regard to recent re-
port of the board of inquiry into the
value OF certain processes of wood pre-
serving, in which the board expressed its
opinion to the general effect that the
process of the American Company was
Oflittle benefit. President Young, after
charging that politics entered largely
into the report, closed by saying:
Whether this has been done by mistake
or from bad motive you, as a member
of the bar, will know is immaterial in
matter of law upon the question of re-
covery by the United States of these
payments made without consideration. AS
the board has chosen to make a quasi
judicial decision against the validity
of our patent without hearing, and to
accuse us of having wronged the govern
ment. Please, Mr.. Secretary, bring such
an action against the company, and the
company will accept service at Boston
and appear and defend. We name Bos-
ton because that will be near the
sources of our evidence. Let me
say further, that after waiting
a reasonable time for such
suit to be brought, the company will ad
wise itself whether the laws of the
United States or of the State will give it
any remedy against those who, however
high, deliberately and causelessly SANDER
and defame our title, our property and
our business and the company itself
