While Jerseys are confessedly the
most beautiful, the most docile, and
the most productive of cows-so far
as milk, butter and fecundity are con-
cerned-they are no beef cattle, and
care should be taken that the Jersey
craze does not work to the detriment
of the Short-horn, the Devon or the
Hereford. As a matter Of plain busi>
ness proposition, farmers with all but
unlimited range, do not need Jerseys.
1t is only to those cramped in pastures

other source are willing witnesses to the
great medicinal virtue and remarkable Gu

must encourage it, It not only en-
ploys and utilities the labor of women
and children and other idle hands,
and makes them self-sustaining, but
furnishes money with which to buy
our farm products. No State is better
adapted to sheep husbandry than
Tennessee, especially the Middle and
Eastern divisions. Water, climate
and soil are well adapted and all we
want is some sort of protection from
dogs. Not only would the wool pay,
but sheep are valuable for mutton.
We will venture that a large proper
ton of the ills we suffer are from the
excessive use of pork. If our people
would use more good mutton and
beef and less pork they would doubt
less be much healthier and happier.

EQUAL TAXATION FOR ALL.

The merchants of Nashville, Leba-
non, Columbia, and many other places
are publicly protesting against the
present law compelling merchants to
pay higher taxes for the privilege of
engaging in the ordinary business of
selling goods than other occupations.
When duly considered we must admit
they have just cause for complaint and
the right to ask the present Legislature
to repeal or 50 modify the law as to
impose no higher taxation on this than
any other legitimate business. Taxa>
ton should be borne alike by all. Sup
pose A. and B. each invest $4,000. A.
buys a stock of goods and B. buys a
farm, tools and stock to begin opera
ton, both for the same purpose of
making money. They are both, and
their property, entitled to equal pro-
lection from the government. Now,
it does seem to US, that each should
pay equally to support the government
in proportion to the value of his prop
erty thus protected.
Merchants and merchandising are
essential to every community, and we
cannot see any good reason why they
should pay more taxes in proper
ton to their capital, than any other
class or business in the community.
Another objection to the law imposing
taxes on merchants it requires them
to give in and pay on the largest
amount they may have on hand at any
one time, whether they are paid
for or not. During certain seasons,
the business of the merchant may re-
quire him to purchase largely in GER
tain lines of goods, as field seeds, which
are handled only for few months in
the year, and generally at very small
margin. The amount paid should be
on the basis of the average and not the
greater amount on hand at any one
time during the year. We see no JUS
tice, but much injustice, in the oper
alton of the law as it now stands.
AS yet, no action has been taken by
the merchants of this county, but We
believe we represent the wish Of every
merchant, and in fact majority of thu
fair minded tax payers, when we cal
upon, and earnestly request our repre-
sentatives in both branches of the Leg
islature, when they come to act upor
this and all other questions of taxation
that they will support no law which
imposes unjust taxation upon any class
Equal taxation and equal protection
will or ought to be satisfactory to al
good citizens.

This remedy is known far and wide as the
most successful ever discovered in cases OF
SPAWN and other hook lameness. OF course
it is well-known fact that chronic case
of SPAWN is virtually incurable; but even
such case can be greatly ameliorated by
using Kendall's remedy, while in cases OF
growing spawn they can be Immediately

SHEEP HUsBANDRY.

We have several times endeavored
to impress our readers with the great
value and importance of sheep hus-
bandry in Tennessee. We are COM
PEELED to have wool either raw or
manufactured with which to clothe
us. Multiplied thousands of dollars
are sent away annually to other
States and to foreign countries for
wool and its products, which might
be kept at home. How much better
would it be for the United States, and
especially Tennessee, to grow and
manufacture their own wool. 1t
would give employment to capital
and home labor, and thus keep mill
ions of dollars at home to be distrib-
uted among the farmers, merchants,
mechanics and other departments Of
business. 1t is a conceded fact, that
it would be greatly to the interest of
the Southern States to manufacture
all of their cotton at home. 1t is
equally as important for the middle
States to grow wool and manufacture
it at home. No class would be more
greatly benefited than the farmer.
A home market for their products is
what they greatly need, and must
have before they can be very pros
porous. The only hope we see for
farmers is in home manufacture. We

This cause came on to be heard on
the 10th day of January, 1885, before
Chancellor Merritt, upon the pleadings
and proof in the cause.
And it appearing therefrom that the
complainants John H. Savage, George
W. Gordon and j. A. Turley were the
Railroad Commissioners constituting
the Railroad Commission, of this State,
from April rs, 1883, to January /,
1885; and that as such they were each
entitled to salary Of $1,000 per an.
mum during their continuance in office:
And it appearing that the same was
paid to them each monthly, or at the
rate of S166.66 per month, from the
beginning to March rs. 1884,
And it further appearing that an
appropriation was duly made of public
moneys by the General Assembly of
Tennessee to pay the salaries of COM
plainants for the years 18S3-84 as said
Commissioners, but that the defendant
has refused to issue his warrant upon
the Treasurer to the compliments or

is due to each of the complainant Com.
missioners the sum of $1,333.33, as
salary aforesaid for the eight months
beginning March 25, 1884: 1t is
therefore considered by the court that
each of the complainaDts, viz: John

Another Platform.

At every gathering OF Republicans
some leader of the party makes point
of declaring that the party is not dead.
Well. we admit that the statement is
true. but it would seem true also that
it might as well be dead for any
good il promises to do the
country. 1t is certainly in its -dotage.
1t is living in the past, is rejecting
everything that is calculated to give
it vitality, and, like a sick man who
has fingered long after failing to take
food, is subsisting on its own system.
1t has sunk into state Of semi-imbe-
cility, and divides it's time between
growing at fate and mumbling its
creed of quarter Of century ago.
That such was the condition Of the
party was first made prominently
manifest by the Ohio Republi-
can platform. Yet some were dis
posed to look upon the disease
as acute, temporary, and local. Since
then, however, the best Of proof has
been accumulating to show that the
trouble is chronic, and possibly ex-
tends to the entire Radical Republican
body. The latest of these proofs is
furnished by the utterances of the
Pennsylvania Republican Convention,
which met at Harrisburg the other
day and nominated a candidate for
State Treasurer. The first part of
the platform adopted gave hope
that the case was not as bad as
we had thought, in that the position
taken respecting the abolition Of inter-
nal-IeveDue taxes Appropriated sound
ness. But upon reading further that
hope was dissipated. The internal
revenue clause was simply flash. For
the rest the platform Is the same old
story. 1t seeks to rekindle the fire Of
sectionaliSm, charges the AdminiStra-
ton with giving preference in the mat
ter Of Offices to the rebel element Of
the Democratic party in the South and
the semi-rebel element OF the same
party in the North" and is festooned

And this is the party that the people
of Virginia will be asked to endorse in
the fall elections. This is the party

DANvILLE, VA, July S.-Judge
Bond, of the United States Court, to-

case Of John c. Shafer against S. c..
Greenhow, City Treasurer. Shafer
rendered coupons in payment Of taxes
TO the amount Of 1918. The Treasurer
refused to receive them on the ground
that they were not verified under the
coupon-killer act. Shsfer filed q petit
ton for an injunction to restrain the
Treasurer from returning him on the
delinquent tax list. The Court caused
a decree to be entered perpetuating the
injunction, and further enjoined the
Treasurer from returning the complain
ants property as delinquent, being of
the opinion that the complainant paid
his taxes due the State by means of the
