MEXICO is about to enter into active
composition with Cuba as a tobacco
growing country. The tobacco crop OF
the Canton de los Textias will, it is es-
timated, amount to 1880, 600 pounds
this year. This famous tobacco has
been imported into the United States
heretofore under Cuban trademarks,
but it is now believed to be able TO
stand on its own merits. Many OF
Mexican tobaccos are inferior in quail
ity, owing to careless methods of cal
tivation, but as good tobacco as is
grown in the Vuelta Abajo Of Cuba
is grown every year in many parts Of
Mexico.

In order to take away ink spots
from paper it is customary to use a
blotter which freely soaks up the
liquid, and if by these means all
traces of the ink do not disappear, re
course is had to q salt or some sub
stance having the property of bleach
ing paper, for instance oXalate of
potassium, etc, to attain this end, a
simple modification Of this renders
still better services. Take thick
blotting paper or board, steep it sew
eral times in a solution Of oxalic acid
or oxalate Of potassium. Then dry it.
II there is a spot to be taxed away,
apply the blotter which has been
prepared in this fashion, to the same.
In proceeding thus, the ink is entire
ly removed. The blolter drinks ug
the ink, and whitens the paper at the
same time.

CHANGE In THE ROAD LAWS.

The people are called upon by
Order OF the Court to vote upon a
proposed change in the road laws of
which they know nothing. We had
intended publishing the substance
of the amendments, but owing to
sickness and Il good deal of work to
attend to, we have not found time.
The road laws as now in force are
far from satisfactory, in force and
results. Money enough is appro-
priated to keep the roads in good
repair, yet there is always great
deal of complaint. 1t seems the
system of working them is defective,
and many of the supervisors have
little knowledge of road-making.
The new law has been tried in JEFF.
erson, and from articles published in
the press of that county, it would
appear unsatisfactory. The changes
over the present system are consid-
cradle. The most Objectionable fea.
ture is the provision for letting the
roads out by bid 30 one man, Great
ing kind of a road Office, which
probably would be more or less con.
trolled by politics. Those opposed
to the proposed change will vote

THE ANARCHISTS PLEA.

In all criminal cases where public
opinion is aroused, conviction fol,
lows more as matter of fact than
of justice. Guilty or innocent, the
verdict Is guilty even before the
trial has begun. In the trial of the
Chicago Anarchists, the verdict was
a foregone conclusion. The people
demanded blood for blood; the of.
ficers of the law were bent on sac.
ritice for the death of their COM
rades. We do not say that the An
archists are not guilty or that they
do not deserve death, but we do say
that somebody was bound to be
hung from the first. The officers
made use Of every means to convict
them force, treachery, spies, pop
ular opinion. The end may justify
the means under the human law in
this case, but we doubt even that.
In evegy revolution Of one class of
people against another, the one
great cause is unjust oppression by
the laws; that is, the law vindicat-
ing itself by it's own strength rather
than by justice. People are muir
dered, plundered and robbed OF their
rights by political anarchists in this
country, and seldom does conviction
follow, and where it does pardon
is ready. The same laws should
operate against such criminals as
well as against social anarchists,
but they do not. Great criminals
defaulters, embezzlers,-escape with
lighter sentences than do petty
thieves or burglars. In some states
it is hardly possible to hang a white
murderer, while it is the rule to save
the State the trouble of trying other
criminals. These distinctions and
inequalities in the enforcement of
the laws are nowhere more notice
able than in those countries that are
most subject to revolutions. The
body of the law recognizes no
guilt until conviction has taken
place. Wherever the strong arm of
the law reaches ont and saws Won
are guilty." and follows it up with
fixed determination to make good
It's word, there is tyranny, and the
seed of revolution thus sown will
bear red fruit in time. The older
this country gets, and the stronger
the different classes and parties be-
come, the more such seed is sown.

olutionists, and social dissentionists,

The Chicago Anarchists, senten-

had not been a dangerous man in
the opinion of the privileged classes.
We claim that we are convicted not
because we have committed murder
but because we were very energetic
in the advocacy of the rights of la
bor."
After a few more remarks, in
which he denied having been a
friend OF Lingg, Engel and Fischer
Fielden concluded as follows: "To
day, as the beautiful autumn sun
kisses the cheek of my fellow-man,
| stand here never to battle my head
in its rays. / have loved my fellow.

ter understanding and more intelli
gence, and that the mountains oil

be replaced by truth and justice
which will come to battle in the pure
light of an emancipated world"

that characterized the prosecution
