therein, its six per centum thirty year

million SIX hundred and twenty, three

dollars; that the United States has
paid interest on this loan to the amount

AN EXCELLENT CATALOGUE.

We have received from T. 8. Hub
bard Co., of Fredooia, N. Y, a copy
of their new "Dascriptive Catalogue
of Grape Vines and Small Fruits
the best thing of it's kind we have
ever seen.
This company is one of the most
meritorious and reliable grape vine
and small fruit propagators in the
American Union.
One very important and highly in
structive feature of their catalogue is
a table of the comparative merits of
all the most popular and approved va
~rieties, as to size of berry and cluster,
quality for table use, earliness in
ripening, hardness of bud and cane,
health of foliage, vigor of growth and
constitution, productiveness, shipping
quality and compactness of cluster.
This table should be in the hands o.
every grape grower, as it will enable
him to see at a glance which are the
most desirable and profitable varieties
to put under cultivation.
The catalogue also contains valuable
hints to vineyard owners, together
with an admirable description of varie
ties of grapes and small fruits.
We a most heartily commend shis
model catalogue to all the readers of
this paper, and advise them to send
for it without delay.

of their Indebtedness. Congress has
had this right, as it seems, for years;
and yet it has not exercised its right
in the face of the fact that these roads
have benin earning annually eleven
millions in dividends. With all the
facts before them, Congress has al.
lowed these roads to run OF until the
interest on the original debt equals
the principal.
The end, however, is not yet reached.
In addition to the money taken out of
the peoples pockets and given to these
roads, millions upon millions of acres
of the public lands have been given
to them. These lands r in the
hands of these corporation at this mo
ment, and are held for fancy prices
against citizens of the Republic, who
seek homes and the rewards of honest
toll upon the public domain. A citi-
zen might take a foreigner out upon
one of these subsidized land grant
railways, and, pointing to the vast ex-
panse of level country stretching away
in every direction, say, "See, this is
our public domain" But the words
of e~xultation and pride might be
scarcely out of his mouth before a uni.
formed and brass buttoned official of
one of these corporations might step
up and say, "Sir, you are mistaken.
This is not the public domain. This
land, for fifty miles on each side of
the track, belongs to the RAILWAYS
