After Thirty-Five Years.

Corrupt Christi Caller:
A pleasant call is acknowledged
from three visitors here yesterday,
Francisco Ramirez, of Nueces coun-
ty; Clemente Garcia, of Duval coun-
ty, and Manuel Cardenas Aguilar,
leading citizen of Matamoros,
Mexico. Mr.. Ramirez, who is one of
the old-time stockraisers of Nueces
county, where he has resided for
thirty-fve years, has sold out his
ranch to Mrs. II. M. King, and ex-
poets to leave with his family on
the 18th. of this month for Mata-
moros to make his home. By his
removal this county loses a we'll
known, good and valued citizen,
Success and long life to him is the
wish of the Caller.

PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURE

The progress made in agriculture
within the memory of persons not
yet old is marvellous. Sixty years
ago wooden mouldboard plows were
almost universally used in breaking
up land and in cultivating crops.
Sickles were often used for garner
ing the wheat crop, and common
cradles were thought to be such an
Improvement over Sickles that
nothing better was wished for. All
wheat was trodden out by horses or
beaten out with a fail. A good
DAVIS work for a cradle was three
acres or four acres of oats. With six
horses and six men it usually took
six days to tramp out a crop OF 300
bushels of wheat, and then it had
to be winnowed. Hay was cut with
scythe. The cutting of one acre of
heavy hay was a good days work
There were few, if any, pitchforks
made of steel or iron. a long stick
forked at the end, with points
sharpened, was used in throwing
up hay. The hoes in use were heavy
and unwieldly. Axes were often
made at blacksmith's shops, and
were stubby and generally of bad
temper.-Southern Farm Magazine.

Rice Market Report.
Houston Post :

New Orleans, December 1.-THE
better feeling noticeable yesterday
IN the market for rough rice was
fully carried over. The demand
ruled quite active, especially for
Japans, and the mills generally ex-
hibited more disposition to take on
stocks than has been in evidence
Tor at least a couple of weeks past
Prices were steady, but with no
quotable change. Clean rice was
in fair demand, both for home
distribution and for export. The
inquiry from the latter source has
neen quite moderate during the
week, but with the milling of the
present steamer considerable activ-
ity is anticipated, and the market
today seemed to foreshadow this
supposition. Prices were quiet and
steady on all lines.
Receipts from country mills were
limited to 1914 pockets.
Receipts, 1878 sacks of rough,
1914 pockets of clean.
Sales, 1901 pockets of clean, 1874
sacks rough, of which 1852 sacks
were Honduras and 1882 domestic
Japan.

-. .-o ,-oors many of their leaders have pre-
dicted that their influence would be thrown
o,.inet the continuance Of fusion administra-
tion Their testimony to the bad character OF
Tammany may therefore be considered as that
of unwilling witnesses. Yet they say by thelr
actions that Tammany is so unspeakabiy cor
r,IDt so firmly in league with criminals, tnat
they do not dare take measures TO punish crimes
committed against themselves for fear of the
revenge which their own Tammany Irlehus
would take upon them in behalf of the black
nlaiiers if the fusion forces should be defeated.
They the liquor dealers, by their refusal to help
prosecute blackmailers. declare TO the world as
the result of their experience that Iammany
has been. is now. and will be hereafter the
patron of organized crime and the persecutof
of all who try to extirpate organized crime.
Just why the liquor dealers, If they are law
abiding citizens conducting business III con-
formity with the statutes should let tnem-
selves be victimiZed is not entirely clear. II
would seem as if the policemens power 10

such blackmail as is now secured is PAID 1or'
and if the desire not to offend Tammany ana

with Tammany in power and well disposed
there may be a free reign of profitable lawless-
ness for which they can afford to pay price.
We prefer however. TO take in good part even
the reported disposition Of the liquor dealers TO
whisper to General Greene the secrets OF their
prison house 1t might help him to stamp out
blackmaiI and put him on the track of cr1mf-
nails whose punishment he could afterward Sc
cure on independent evidence. Even If they re-

attitude of the liquor dealers may be from the
point of view of high minded citizenship it is
certainly most impressive in its warning to all
men against allowing Tammany to come back
into power. These men. who know Tammany
intimately. tell US that il will persecute honest
men and use its power to serve criminals. Is
there any honest citizen who, in view Of this,
thinks it doesn't much natter how the eiec-
ton goes, and that one set of administrators is
about as good as another?

TIE LIQUOR DEALERS TESTIMONY.

Nothing could he more Illuminating than the
attitude Of the liquor dealers on the question OF
aestifying against police blackmailers- The
president of the Liquor Dealers Association de-
nies the report in The New-York Herald" and
1.-The New York Sun that they will furnish evi-
dence Of corruption in confidence TO Commis
sioner Greene There is however. no reason to
question the truth of the statement that their att
fude on the matter, whether they give evidence
pr withhold il. is governed by fear that Tam
many will return TO power. The dealers admit
that Commissioner Greene is doing all that he
can TO break up the system, and that he has
accomplished something. but they say that they
are nevertheless, being victimized by police
men. who show an extraordinary ability in the
practice of extortion, no matter how often their
lines of communication are broken up and they
are moved into new precincts The dealers
fully realize that they could stop this business
absolutely by helping TO prosecute every police
extortioner, and that they would have the
cordial support Of the administration in so do
ing As long as ii remains in power those who
give evidence against blackmailers will be pro-
iected. Yet the liquor dealers are not ready to
give evidence. They trust Commissioner Greene
and, according 70 The Sum and THE Her
aid" are inclined to tell him all about black
mail if he viii keep the secret and use the in
formation TO extirpate the system But they
are concerned lest he give them away to the
workers Of the system. Why this timidity? The
liquor dealers are perfectly frank to answer
They fear that Tammany may return 10 power
at the next election and that those who testi-
fed against blackmailers would be punished
for il.
What better evidence of the character of
Tammany as known TO those on the inside was
ever offered? The liquor dealers are not over
friendly 10 the Low administration They have
not been sympathetic toward efforts for en-
forcement Of the law Their personal relations
with the Mayor have been strained. They have
been inclined 10 blame him in part for the in
crease in the liquor tax Most Of them have
been for years supporters of Tammany In the

A CONTTNGENCY.

The statement attributed 10 Mr.. ]. P. Morgan,
that if Mr Roosevelt should be nominated for
President next year it would be impossible to
raise $4,000 IN Wall Street for his reelection,
sounds less like Mr. Morgan than like some
other men. 1t may be true that there are fnan-
cial and speculative circles in which exists
sentiment which is fairly enough reflected in
such an assertion. but if Mr. Morgan shares it
he is universally credited with too much sa-
gacity TO display it in that way under circum-
stances subjecting him to the risk Of quotation.
If there are Wall Street men, who are at
present taking a sort Of satisfaction in the
thought that, while Mr.. R0Oseveits nomination
is apparently inevitable, it Will be their priVi-
Iege to withhold during the campaign the pc
cuniary support essential to his success, their
true policy is to keep it dark. y general i'm
preston that Wall Street" was bound to get
square" with the President would have the eff
feet TO a dead certainty, Of flooding the Re
publican managers with so much money from a
million sources that they wouldn't know what
to do with it Campaign committees almost
always have bigger funds than their real needs
demand, and it would be mournful reflection
for Wall Street opponents of the President that
besides defeating their own scheme. they had
encouraged an extravagant expenditure on the
other side
