make the suggestions sc think best suited to

ture Of manure aud labor. You could break
up and suiso.l the land and apply thirty
or forty leads Of baIuyard manure broadcast

A LAND THEFT,

Attorney-Gen Garland, at the re-
quest Of Secretary Villas, is about to en-
ter suit against the Colorado Coal, Coke
and Iron Company for the recovery OF
forty-two quarter-sections OF land, which
proves to be full OF valuable mineral do
posts, and which, contrary to the Statutes,
was patented as agricultural lands by in
dividuals who afterward transferred II to
the Company. The New York Times thinks
this suit may prove worse than useless as
the Supreme Court reversed decision by
Judge McCrary in case involving sixty
one quarter-sections OF land in the same
county in Colorado, which we're taken on
homestead entries as agricultural land by
fictitious persons, and afterward
transferred TO the Colorado Coal and
Iron Company. Suit was brought by
Acknowledgement Devens in 1880, and
in 1883 Judge McCrary, holding court in
Denver, decided that the Government
must recover the land which had virtually
been stolen. But in 1887 the Supreme
Court reversed this decision. However,
Mr., Lamar is now member Of that
Court AS Secretary Of the Interior he
had occasion to learn a great deal about
the land thieves and 10 study the law Of
such cases and he may DO able 10 throw
some new and strong light upon the ques-
ton and bring the Court round to be oil
Judge McCrary's opinion. II would be
simply dreadful for the Supreme Court tc
confess that the land thieves OF the West
can continue TO defy II, too.

SENATOR HARRIS.
lI1fg
A FRIEND oF,HIs THINKS HE MIGHT
HAVE RECAIinED HIS PRoMIjE
And 1t Would Have Been All Right-The
Utter Worthlessness OF Politicians.
Pledges and Promises "A Serious
Fault. ..sy

From the CHATTANOOGA fincs.
Senator liarrishas written letter to Hon.
d. f. Ragland, in which lie denies that he
ever promised not 10 seek third election;
he also announces himself candidate for
senator before the next Legislature.
In fact, the senator did pledge himself
not to again seek the Office. In a speech
at the Maxwell house ON the night Of the
last election, he said, as reported in every
paper in the State:
ITO represent such State, to retain the
confidence OF such a people, to have the
honor which you have conferred upon mo
today will have filed the measure Of any
mans ambition. So far as | am concerned
II has filled full and 10 running over the
last ambition OF my life, and never again
shall / ask at the hands OF the good people
OF Tennessee any position OF an official
character, hut with the end OF the present
term, II should be fortunate enough to
live 80 long, l shall quietly and pleasantly
bow down and out oil official station and
all connection with the politics OF the
country, except such as every private citi-
zen should always exercise in the affairs Of
his State and country"
To this report OF his speech, the senator
filed no objection at the time Of its publi-
cation. Now he injects the word ''proba-
bly, before the pledge as above quoted,
which Is not found in any report OF his re-
marks taken down verbatim at the time Of
their delivery by competent reporters;
this Interpolation IL an afterthought, and
cannot be accepted as true.
We know the utter worthlessness OF
politicians pledges and promises too WELL
the public know their insincerity too well,
for US or the public 10 hold Mr.. Harris 10
very strict account for failing 10 keep his
voluntary proclamation OF intention 10
retire ut the end OF his current term.
The only serious fault TO be found with
him now. according TO the moral code,
relates to his denial or perversion Of what
no really said. The manly the courage.
ous course would have been 10 say: 81
have changed my mind from thinking in
1883 / should not be a candidate in 1883,
] have now come 10 conclude that / will
be candidate"
Not only would that be honorable and
manly, but Il would be good policy. The
senator, by his denial, has not convinced
anybody that he did not say just what
the reporters took down as his language.

ZEN. VANCE AND THE TARIFF.


Tho Baltimore Sun, in its issue Of the
10Th inst, publishes the first Of series Of
papers by Senator Zebulon b. Vance, OF
North Carolina, ON purely economic sub
jecis pertaining 10 tariff taxation. The
Senator in this begins at the beginning,
with the Federal Constitution, and proves
that the power to lay and collect tariff
duties was conferred ON the General Gov
eminent only 10 raise money; that the
money thus raised can only be used for
public purposes, viz, to pay the debts,
provide for the common defense and gen.
eral welfare Of the United States; that the
individual enrichment OF the citizen, not
being the same thing MS the general
welfare OF the United States, is a
private and not public purpose,
and is therefore not embraced in the
power. It is not, then, lawful by the Con-
sttution or agreeable TO liberty and justice
TO either lay or lay and collect taxes for
his benefit only or chiefly, either by pay
ing him the money when collected or by
giving him the power to collect II for him
self" This 10 the position The APrEAL
has always taken on the tariff question,
and II Is happy to find statesman who
enjoys 80 much OF the public confidence
agreeing with II 80 closely.

A BAD LEAK.

Our Washington correspondent sends Ils
a special, which will be found elsewhere,
in which he states that the decision of the
United States Supreme Court in the Bell
Telephone case was known in New York
moro than week ago, even TO the poll Of
the Court This is very, indeed, most
serious business, and should DO made the
subject OF instant investigation by the
Justices. The decisions OF the highest
Court in the land, in such cases, have q
special commercial value, and are eagerly
sought for; therefore, the Court cannot
lend itself 10 such a thing for q
moment, even through the carolessness
or corruption Of lis subordinate officers.
The purity Of lis erminc must be main
tanned ai any cost. II must be above sus-
picion. Something similar TO this oc-
CURED in this State, when tho 1908
bond case was before our Supreme Court.
Tho adverse decision rendered was
known In New York several days In
advance OF its being handed down,
and many spectators were enabled 10 un-
load and thus turn an homes, penny. The
statement was made in the New York pa.
pers at the time and has never been de-
MED or contradicled, nor did any invest.
