and such things, but that we have got along
without them may be well given as reason why
we should not ruin ourselves to possess them
now. Thirteen years ago there was a well-to-do
farmer in this county. He owned 160 acres of
excellent land, was out Of debt and his farm was
well stocked his children were grown, and most
of them married and we'll settled. The old house
in which they had been raised was as large as
ever and in good condition but other people
were building fine houses, and our
farmer thought how nice it would
be to have a fine house. in which to entertain the
grandchildren. Everybody counted him rich,
and so he was. but the architect gave him plan
that would more than absorb his ready cash and
the money at interest. by the time fine carpets
and piano and a few other necessaries for a
$40, 600 house were supplied Farmer had never
seen the day that he could not borrow all the
money he wanted, and he borrowed and mort
gagged his farm. The sequel is easily told. One
horse after another. and cows and sheep and
hogs went to pay interest. and several years ago
the farm went brick house, carpets. piano and
all. Why should we adopt that line of fnancier-
ingg Already our city debt is beyond the limit
allowed by law. and our tax assessment
Is ND to the maximum. We may get
the next Legislature to allow US to levy a
heavier tax, but who is to pay it if we do! There

proof for establishing direct lineage with iona

About the viaduct or Something Else.

About the Viaduct or Something Else.
TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
It is very proper that the people should freely
discuss the relative merits of the several propo
sitions to reduce to its minimum the incon-
venience of railroads through the city, because
at some time, and probably within fifty years,
something will be done in that direction; but to
think of any such an undertaking any time
within ten or even twenty years is preposter-
ous. No safe business man, in the financial
condition of our city, would entertain such a
proposition for a moment. The plan contem-
plates to expenditure of at least half million
of dollars gsPhe lowest estimate of the first
viaduct 40 100000. 1t viii cost $50, 900
before finished. The building of one implies
inevitably the building of at least FIVE. for no
man will coneede the justice of requiring the
whole city to pay for one viaduct and there stop
Twenty odd years ago there was demand to
build bridge at the river crossing of the Craw-
louisville road. No one doubted the necessity of
the bridge; but another at the Michigan. street.
another at the Washingtonstreet, another at
the Kentucky avenue and another at the Morris
street crossing followed inevitably. The West
street railroad crossing is by far the most dan
gerous crossing In the city to- day. East street
is more dangerous than Virginia avenue. and
Washington street equally as dangerous not to
mention Meridian, and Tennessee and Kentucky
avenue The viaduct system implies a half

1T may be an easy thing for City Council that
pays no taxes, or next to none, TO vote an appro-
priation which implies half million, but the
men who have to raise the money do not think
that SO easy. It may not be new, but it NAV
with propriety be here stated TINT twelve out of
our twenty-five councilmen paid not cent of
taxes on real estate for 1884 and that four of
these paid less than dollar each, and one paid
not cent on anything. and that some of these
went delinquent, and paid only after they became
candidates for Council. 1t is no crime to be
poor, but it does seem to be little unwse to in
trust the disbursing of $667. 900 to a body of
twenty-five men. some Of whom pay no taxes at
all. and twenty-one of whom pay less than

TITLES or THE AZTEC LAND AND CAT.
 THE COMPANY.

A careful reading of the following letter of Messrs. Seligman &Seligman, who rank among the best land law yers in the country, and the recent Act of Congress defining the lands forfeited by the Atlantic & Pacific R R. Co.,, as those ''unimproved" or no built upon by said railroad, will con vince any one that the titles of the Aztec Land and cattle company are perfect to all their lands in Arizona. The chain of title is complete, from she inception of the railroad in 1871, down to the present tune. As will be seen the A. & P. R. Co.,, from whom the Aztec L. & C. Co. purchased theil lands, complied with the law in every respect by filing all necessary docu ments, hawag the road properly in spccted and reported upon, and by pa,ing all land office and other fees promptly. The Interior Department has also recommended, without quail ficatioa, that patents be isseed fol ihsse lands, which will be done in tho near future.

earth beneath and around the roots, the good
effects viii be seen speedily, but in no instance
should raw manure from the stable, or any
thing that must decay before becoming plant
food, be brought In contsot with the roots.
Again ! repeat my caution against planting too
eep-one of the commonest and most fatal
errors. Let the tree be set about as deeply
as it stood before removal. If the tree be
planted early in the spring, as it should be, there
will be moisture enough in the soil. but when
planting is delayed until the ground has be-
como rather dry and warm, a pail of water
poured about its roots when the hole has been
nearly filed will be beneficial. Now that the
tree Is planted, any kind Of coarse manure,
spread to the depth of two or three inches
on the surface as a mulch is very useful. Stake
at once to protect against the winds. Do not
make the common mistake Of planting too
closely. Observe the area shaded by fully
grown trees, and you will learn the folly of
crowding. Moreover, dense shade about the
house is not desirable. There should be space
for plenty Of AIR and sunshine. The fruit from
one wel1-developed tree will often more than
supply q family, for ten or fifteen barrels of
apples is not an unusual yield. The standard
apples should be thirty feet apart Pears, the
dwarfer growing cherries, plums, etc. can be
grown In the intervening spaces. In ordering
from the nurseries insist on. straight, shapely.
and young trees. say three years from the bud.
Many trees that are sent out are small enough,
but they are old and stunted. Also require that
there should be an abundance of fbrous and I'M
mutilated roots.
