PEoF1T OF SURFACE MASURISG.

Mr.. l. Robinson, Z large manufacturer and
email farmer Of Moretown.. VT. is . firm
believer in surface manuring as against blowing
manure under six or eight inches Twenty-Five
years ago he purchased two acres Of moving
land near his lumber mills, which produced
only about ton of hay annually per acre. He
has improved it by top-dreseing with stable
manure and wood ashes, till he now cuts as
much hay in two crops IS many farmers get
from ten acres. His neighbors estimate his
crops 1t ten tons per year. The first CUTTING
this year WAS eight two-horse loads, the second
gave him four heavy loads. He keeps two
horses and from two to three cows; also one to
four hogs feeding grain freely to all. The
animals are bedded bountifuI1y In the seasons
Of it, with buckwheat hulls. Of which he obtains
large quantities from his grist mill The liquid
manure is thus all saved and goes upon the
land with the eolids. He likes to apply dne
old compost to the stubble just Is soon ~ the
hrst crop is removed. This makes . partial
mulch for the grass plants just when they are
In moet danger Of being burned out BY the hot
suns Of early summer. Coarse manure he ap-
plies any time IN winter on the snow. When he
began epresding manure upon the surface, his
neighbors who had practiced ploughing 1t

The supposed sovereignty that allows
temporary representatives of the people
to enact by legislation, or what is worse,
by the decree of an Indemnity Board, a
code of political action on different prin-
ciples from the code applying to the peo-
pie who are the sovereignty, must be
wrong The nature of the popular
political existence in which is the
sovereignty must be represented in the
peoples trustees and servants" or else
the representatives possess a personal
and not delegated power. If the moral
idea of business obligations applying to
individuals does not apply to the govern
ment, then the government is not rep
resentative but personal, and the
sovereignty mate in the people changes
its nature in the hands of the trustees
and servants"

Though Andersonyille prison horrors
have been Kissed off the stage the Radi-
Gals utter another prolonged warwhOop
over the appointment of DR.. Dabney as
medical examiner in the Pension Bureau
because they affect to know that he mas
a blood-curdling rebel surgeon at the
Andersonville prison. 1t has been so
often proved that the suiferings of the
sick prisoners at Andersonville were
owing to the refusal of the Federal au-
thorities to exchange prisoners or send
medicines and supplies, that really the
howl of the Radicals is too absurd And
now it turns out that Dabney was never
connected with the Confederate army and
was recommended by G. A. r. Post.

The tariff fight does not appear to be
quite so fixed for postponement as was at
first thought in Washington. Repub-
licans in the House are reported to
have agreed that a reduction of taxation
must be made, in proposing to take $10,-
900, 900 from sugar, $10,OOO,OO0 from alco-
hol, and to abolish 100000 of tobacco
taxes. Mr. Morrison has given notice
that he will ask the House to consider
revenue measures next Saturday
Sugar will raise cry from Louisiana
such as was heard at the time of the con-
sideration of the Hawaiian treaty, and
though opposition will appear from all
quarters the push for tariff reform is
equally general.

THE OBSTACLE.

Our luminous contemporary, the san,
asks Congress to fortify the harbor, and
our venerable but energetic contempora-
nv, the Herald, asks Congress to build a
new navy, and to spend twelve millions in
building ten great steamships, to be used
to carry passengers in time OF peace and
to carry troops in time of war.
These influential journals may, per-
haps, be willing to consider method
by, which these desirable and patriotic
enterprises can be carried out For, rs
THE Star looks at it, there is but one
obstacle to the accomplishment of them,
and that is the present system OF federal
taxation. ~ y, STIR.

The House of Representatives has
more than once gone by large majority
for repeating the "Tenure of Office Act"
which was enacted to restrain great
abuses on the part of certain Presidents.
The point is that the act takes from the
Executive the responsibility of removal,
and ordains the Senate as cooperative
with the President in removal as TO all
appointments made by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate.
The Senate still loves its prerogatives
The debate this week on the proposed
repeal of the act was maintained
principally by Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar
he former holding that the repeal would
e the greatest step backwards in the way
# reform. Mr.. Hoar maintains most
sstly that no person should be kept in
executive employment who has not the
confidence of the man responsible for the
success of such executive departments.

The panic in Wall street yesterday is
another danger signal to those who allow
themselves to be carried away by the ex-
element Of stock speculation. There is
no telling how many people in the South
have been made to play lamb and been
caught by wolves just as has happened so
often before.
The dispatches we publish and the ex-
tract from the New York Egen5Hg Post
indicate that the panic was the work of
spectators, and that no serious damage
is done.

IL Is useless for any one to attempt to
disguise any longer the nature of the sit
uation into which the policy of the direc-
tors Of the Democratic party in Virginia
has led us. The tax collectors have been
ordered by the authorities to levy on per-
sons who stand on tender OF coupons
for taxes, and the Supreme Courts decls-
ions are such as to force the collectors to
receive coupons or stand suits for dam
ages. The State authorities forcing the
treasurers to one course and the Federal
courts forbidding that course puts the
treasurers between two fires and involves
their eudorsers, which brings the issue at
once to a point between the State and
Federal authority
We have tried for year to draw the
attention of the people to clear under
standing of the unavoidable results of the
policy. if the State was to be placed in an
attitude of antagonism to the Federal
Government. which has been tried by an
experiment that carried conviction to
every one who stood the ordeal and the
penalty like q man twenty years ago.
We have also explained that the threat
of reputation is naught, because the Is
sue is Joined on the validity of the cou
mons and therein on the practicability Of
the Riddleberger act.
How any set of men expect to make
a debt settlement work that the creditors
do not accept is something that in this
business age is merely back-action
piece of folly to cause the political suicide
of the people who are forcing it.
But besides this, the United States
Supreme Court has assassinated the
Riddleberger bill by allowing the creditors
the lever with which they can force the
State into ruin by furnishing taxpayers
with coupons at little more than half
price and depriving the State Of her
revenue.
If the policyholders think that men
will pay dollar for what they can get
for sixty cents. and that asentiment man
ufactured on a misrepresentation of fig
ures can impose on some three hundred
thousand voters, why, of course, the only
way for them is to try it.
But when the Republicans, as is evil
dent, do not advocate reputation, the re-
suit will be that the policyholders and
their followers will be mashed between
the Republican party and the debt-paying
Democrats.
Daylight could not be palmer to any
but the blind and those who will not see

WE WANT A NEW DEPARTURE.

The Republican party on the other
hand so far as this State is concerned, is
committed to readjustment or nothing,
and it cannot be expected to abandon its
debt policy in favor of any new settle
ment which may be attempted by the
Democrats who now control the State
government 1t enjoys the embarrass-
ments which readiustment has accumu-
lated upon its "acquiescing' converts. 1t
eagerly takes advantage of everything to
charge treachery and incompetence upon
the Democracy Moreover, it is not to
be denied that events have cOncurred in
this matter to discredit the Democrats
and turn the eyes of thinking people in
another direction to seek for settlement
of the debt agitation.
\ X
The abortive and impracticable attempt
of 1873, known as the state credit move
ment," had, at least, the merit of the right
spirit, and any movement animated by
that spirit now, and pushed with energy
and zeal would be sure of success. But
where are the men who can start such a
movement The 80 and their State Com
mittee of 1878 will never do, for they have
proved their unfitness by their weak col
lapse ere the Readjusters actually took the
field Mr. Royal, the secretary of that
organization, has, to be sure, exhibi-
ted his indomitable spirit and vigor in the
matter, but in a way that renders him
ineligible to deal with it politically,
as leader We must look elsewhere for
the right men and common sense teaches
us that we must find them, if at all,
among that class of "funders" -Republi-
cans and Democrats-who have never
"acquiesced," and that class OF "Readjus-
tiers" who have never favored population,
and who have only favored that read
justment compatible with the laws of the
country.
Now let these gentlemen come to the
front, independent of party, and appeal
to the people. We shall gladly be one of
their Organs" Many of our contempt
raries, of both parties and of no party,
are ready to join in the appeal. The
people generally, Democratic and Re
publican, yearn for final solution of
the wearigome problem. The time is ripe
The hour is here, and we only need the
men, competent and tireless, TO lead us
VIGOROUSLY in and over both parties to a
settlement that shall bring peace with

that "there are particularly no carriages

would not do for the steel guns. The
