Many years ago Mr.. f. c, DeIayan, a
prominent and well known gentleman of
Albany, y Y, went to that country to
satisfy himself touching this matter.
He says that while in Rome, Cardinal Ac

Also that the Judge directed him to a part
of Rome that would compare well with the

NEXT CROP.
Every man, who proposes to cult
vate crop next year, knows now
what means he has at command to
meet the actual expenses of cultiya-
ting that crop; he knows how many
head Of pillow stock he has or can pay
for now; how much com and other
forage he has to feed to these stock;
whether or not a suficiency; he
knows how much provision or its
he has to furnish to his
employees; he also knows how much
cash he has in hand to meet the ac-
tual incidental expenses which will
attend the cultivating of that crop.
knowing these facts, he knows his
financial ability as farmer, and can
therefore circumscribe his farming
programme, and bring it within his
means. If he has the means to meet
the demands of a large farm and the
capacity to manage it to a successful
issue, let him plan accordingly. If
he has only means sufficient to main
tain a one horse crop, it is not in ac-
cord with perfect safety to reach be-
yond this in his farming programme.
For whenever farmer reaches be-
yond his power, and takes upon him
self crop, the expense of which ex-
ceeds his own capital, he is then
forced to call on another for aid,
which call, if answered, places him
self un Ter, and his crop virtually in,
the hands of him who aids, and there
by takes from the farmer that indie
pendent management of his crop pro-
ducts which should ever be regarded
and held as sacred and an inalen-
able right. For in this way hun
dreds of farmers cotton have been
placed under forced sales upon de-
pressed market, and loss has accrued.
Far better is it for any man to farm
on small scale Independently of
outside help than on a large scale,
and thereby subject himself to the
beck and call of others.

1T Is not to be wondered at that q
dangerous anti-foreign feeling prevails
at Canton, as our dispatches on the
third page inform us. The wanton in
dignity put upon the Chine Sc Minister
at San Francisco yesterday, coupled
with the wholesale slaughter in Ore
gon, is sufficient to excite the people
of China to the extreme of retaliation.
Treaties solemnly ratified have been
broken with IMMUNITY, the Chinese
laborers have been robbed and shot
to death by hundreds, and this with
out redress. What wonder, then, that
the people of Canton are excited and
threaten reprisals. If the Chinese are
driven out of the United States, the
$4,000 Americans now domiciled in
and trading in China may reasonably
expect to be driven out, and 20 lose

Parnell and colleagues were supported

THE people OF the United States are
opposed to polygamy and desire to see
it suppressed. But this, they will in
sist, must be done in lawful, orderly
. and decent manner. II is not neces-
sary to insult women and force dis
tress upon them, to punish them with
undue severity or ieopardize their
health or their lives. 1t is I'M
natural to expect, and worse to
force a woman by fine and i'm
prisonment, to testify against the
man she regards as her hus-
band, and who is the father of her
children. And yet this is Just what is
being done, il our correspondent,
whose letter we publish on the second
page, is to be credited, and we think
be is. The Edmund's law has opened
up in Utah opportunities for brutal
deputy marshals, such as the people of
the South were familiar with in recon-
struction days, and they are not slow
to avail themselves OF them. Some of
thee worthless seem TO be coarse and
BRUTAL and even cruel, and therefore
unfit to be employed in the name Of
the United States. We do not want TO
lePeat in this country the story of the
HnguenOts. But this is what we are
fastening to in Utah, where the Nor

compelled to testify against husband
and fathers. Can't Mormonism bs

special to the Age from Columbus
Miss, announces the disposal Of the
city bond question that has been
threatening some trouble TO the Geor-
gia Pacific Railway Company, which
is now at work on gap in its road be-
tween here and there. The city had
issued $780, 20 of bonds in aid of
the rad on condition that it
should always have fair freight
rates. Recently the City Council
on the strength of alleged discrimina-
ton, by vote of 3 to 2, declared the
bonds invalidated. Thereupon a pub
lie meeting was held and a resolution
passed vigorously protesting against
the action of the solons. 1t was then
agreed TO submit TO the dictation of a
majority of the taxpayers, and now a
majority having signed papers in favor
of the road, they have rescinded their
action and ordered the interest on the
bonds paid.
A large force OF hands begun the
work to-day of clearing 10 acres of
land near Avondale, just north of Biz
mingham, to ma sites for the Debar-
deleben Goa and Iron Company 8
promised rolling mill and steel works.
The furnace engineer of Witherow &
Gordon, the Pittsburg builders, is here
to locate the plants. The company
has a capital of 100000. This first
work is taken as a most suspicious
omen Tor Birmingham's future.

The riot at f st st. Louis yesterday
is much to be deplored, not ithstand-
ing it is the legitimate outcome of the
condition of the working classes.
That condition is fragrant and every
day wrong that urges and goads poor
men to desperation. But in view OF
the good results that have hitherto at
tended on the efforts of the Knights OF
Labor to effect just and equitable com
promises, itisearnestly to be hoped that
those now on strike at East st. Louis
and elsewhere will bear and forbear
for little while longer, and trust to
public sentiment to help them to a
victory in their unequal contest with
capital. Riots, if persisted in, can only
lead to bloodshed, and that means the
assistance of the strong arm of the law
TO help capital TO victory.

He was very sure the idea of using
official j fluence to further the inter
ests of the company had never been
thought Of by his associates. He had
never heard until the subject had
been mentioned by Mr. Ranney that
Senators Garland and Har 3 had
written professional opinions touch

saw now that the opinions of the as
sociates as 10 the value of he Rogers
patent were highly extravagant.
Mr.. Ranney inquired whether the
name Of Judge Baxter had not been
mentioned in the conversation relative
to suits.
Witness remembered last Judge
Baxter's name had been mentioned ;
that a suit before him was not regarded
as particularly advisable, because he
was said TO be hostile and antagonistic
to Senator Harris. Adjourned.

To-Day Mr.. Gladstone will intro
duce his measure Of home rule for
Ireland, and, as the Liberal "whip''
was busy yesterday and last night in
getting his forces together, we may be
sure there will be very full attend
ance ia the House Of Commons.
What is TO be the outcome it is inn
possible safely to predict, so much
has been said pro and con
of confusing nature, but our
faith in Mr. Gladstone is such,
baset upon lifetime of successes, as
to lead US to hope for a signal tri-
umDh. But even if he is defeated at
this session it is a great gain in behalf
o. justice for Ireland that an initial
sep should be taken, and taken by
jhe Premier of England, looking to
tie restoration of the legislative free
dom Of which she was robbed eighty
ihree years ago. In l8+S even the dream
of the repeal of the act of union was re-
garded as idle and revolution was
resOrted to, and so it has been in all
the years since. The Fenians, and
even the Nationalist, regarded such
a thing as home rule impossible as a
result Of peaceful agitation. But the
genius of Parnell has been equal to the
task, and what six years ago would
have been treated as most treason
able, 10 now upheld with so much
favor by English Liberals as to make
it certain that if not within the year,
then within the next two years Ire
land win be governed by her own
Parliament.
