The republican excuses for not re-
vising the tariff at the present time
really postpones the matter Indefinite
ly, unless they revise it 25 per cent
higher, which is the only change the
protective tariff leage approves. Some
republicans want to put off revision
until the next session Of congress
Others say the next session will be too
short to take up the matter Then
the excuse will be that business con-
ditions must not be disturbed on the
eve Of q national election. After thai
the democrats will be in power, but
the republicans will still fight revis.
ion to repay their friends, the trusts
and combines, that have furnished
campaign funds, 80 what relief from

These fourteen counties get back all
taxes paid by their citizens; all state
and county taxes paid by the railroads
in nine of them and an additional
bonus from the state of $82, 707. Tt is
possible that some of them having no
railroads are entitled to receive more
from the 81, $50, 600 school appropria-
tion than each paid in. Had the ap-
preparation been only 81, 900, 600 these
fourteen counties would have received
$152, 2,55l, or only 5000 less than the
whole amount paid TO the state. This
would have been fairer to the counties
and more nearly compliance with
the constitution which only anthorizps
from the state treasury a sufficient
amount with the poll tax to maintain
schools four months. Any additional
amount to be raised in the counties
and separate school districts. The re-
port of the state superintendent of ed
ucation shows the average of days
taught last year as l19. only one day
short of six months. The average
number Of days taught in the fourteen
counties taught was 112 Only five
collected a county tax Deduoting
this tax would have reduced none of
the five below 100 days
In this comparison no account is
taken of the Chickasaw school fund,
from which six of these counties re-
ceive $17, 900 annually. This is their
own and no one will question either
their moral or legal right to it. But
the state having cared fer and preserv-
ed this fund to the Chickasaw counties
through war and reconstruction, their
representatives should aid in limiting
the general appropriation to constitu-
tional requirements. At best this re-
quirement imposes great hardship on
the southern piney woods counties.
The inhabitants are nearly all white
and the country being sparsely settled,
makes the schools more expensive.

receive from the state treasury. 10

the counties of Hancock, Harrison and

them would make the group show to
greater advantage.

Facts and Figures For Every Legislator to

Much is said about tax -dodging, but
no well-directed effort is made to re-
move the cause. There are few men
that are not willing to pay their just
proportion of taxes if they believed
others did the same. Every observing,
intelligent man knows that strict
compliance with law will impose on
him double tax There are seventy.
six assessors and as many boards of
supervisors. each acting Independently
and without any taxed rule for equal
izing values. TO expect anything ap-
preaching equality under such sys-
tenn would be to expect miracle.
Not only is our assessment law
faulty, but the system of raising and
disbursing the school fund offers a
special premium for inequality. See
what the, state receives. from some
counties and what the same counties
under the distribution of the common
school fund. The receipts include
both privilege and property tax and
also include the state tax paid by the
railroads and other corporations with

essary to include specimen of
fruiting frOnds as well as a barren

very tall, it is not necessary to send
a full grown frond, a smaller one will
do, but a description of the full-sized

My Eavorite Rose.

A correspondent of the Epitomist,
writing from Jacksonville, Fla, names
her favOrite Rose. The variety which
she chooses is certainly a beautiful
one. but we should hardly pick it for
our only one. The color is light
pink, and very delicate shade, the
bush is free bloOmer, but the buds
are not of good shape for cut flowers
If | could only have one rose in my
garden, that one would be the Duchess
de Brabant, and indeed, l believe /
would as soon have a hedge-a long
row of that one, as a variety of others.
Its habits of growth are free and
clean, the buds are exquisite and the
pink open flowers not less attractive
in their graceful loose way, showing
fainter tints of pink down in its heart.
1t is true everbloOmer-o opens the
season in spring and shows up a bios
som or two after everything else has
gone out of business. A single rose in
vase, does not show the Duchess at
its best; for a full revelation of its
beautiful possibilities, there should be
a sheaf of them gathered not by stems,
but by limbs, showing all the stages
of the flower from unopened buds to
full blown roses. 1t is good for the
bush to cut it recklessly and it only
asks plenty of food and water, though
it will come nearer thriving under
neglect than any variety 1 know of.

Care in Plant Culture.

The following notes from Parks

of many failures, not only with Cacti,
but with other species of plants:
There are those who require a severe
tongue-scOurging to remember not to
deluge their Caoti, HOyas, Crassulas,
and other succulent plants, till their
roots sever from their bodies. I was
once assisting a friend in his cOnserva-
tory when a lady brought in Cactus
and presented it to him, with the re-
mark: Here, I'll give this to you, 1

japanese Pigmy Trees.

Probably you have all read about
the dwarf trees which are so popular
with the japanese. They are being in
trOduced into cultivation in this coun-
try to considerable extent The
Florists Exchange gives some care
full and plain directions for their treat
ment These show that it is not an
easy matter ito grow these pigmy
trees, even when already dwarfed.
Messrs. Barr & Sons have been ex-
hibiting these dwarf trees for some
time past, and they favor us with the
following advice: Throughout spring
and summer, keep the Thuja obtusa in
an airy sunny place, such as a balcony.
terrace, or on sheltered banks or stag
ing out of doors, selecting always a
situation which, though dry, is not
wind-swept. Give water once a day if
required, or it may be necessary in
very dry, hot weather to water the
plant twice a day, just to keep the
soil damp without being sodden. Rain
water should be used. The plant bene-
fits by being put out in soft, warm
rain. If the thuja is kept indoors for
decoration it should be placed in a
sunny window, and during the night
be kept out of doors, Should the at
mOsphere be dry and hot, light spray
ing overhead with rain water should
be given in the evening. The dry heat
from a gas stove or open fireplace
must be avoided. During winter keep
the plant in a cool greenhouse. and
give a watering once a week-just

The Wild Rose.

Oh the Rose that grows in the garden
A fairer Rose may be
But its not the Rose for me!
The Rose that grows in the thicket,
And beside the dusty way,
That blooms and fad les in distant
glades,
In the heat of the summers day,
That perfumes the air with a drowsy
balm,
Is the Rose that love best;
The wild red Rose of the hedge row
To the weary soul brings rest.
The Rose THAT grows in the garden
A stately Rose may be
OF prestige old from cline of gold.
From land across the sea.
But give me the Rose that blooms
apart,
That blooms so wide and free.
The native Rose of our native land
Oh that is the Rose for me,

and some of the frOnds were fully 10
inches long, and or inches wide.
They were so pretty L dug up two
clumps and brought home with me.
One clump i planted i'm a finch pot,
the other at the northeast corner of
the house, and they grow right along
as if the changed conditions and sur
roundings made no difference to them
There was also another fine variety
of Ferns, nearby where these grew.
but the clumps dug were so covered
with large wood ants, that i was glad
to drop them. A little lower down.
were several fine clumps of something
| took to be the Giant Arrow plant.
and on the hillside | found some fine
specimens of Butterfly weed | picked
few of its gay, orange blossoms
and brought home to cheer me with
their stored sunshine Later on I will
carefully transplant the roots of two
or three. and have them near at hand
On the same hillside also found an
orange Thimble flower, which / am
going to try to cultivate as we have 50
few really beautiful flowers of this
most potent color. The only familiar
flower | have found. besides the But
terf1y weed. and the Thimble flower. is
a clump of Iiatris. The soil is so differ
ent, and the elevation so much gresIter.
that | shall expect to find quite a
change i'm the flora. to that which is
found i'm the Louisiana LOwlands.
when | am able to go farther afield.
and will tell You of my finds, from
time to time. and of the ones which
seem to thrive with human companions

to be let serenely alone.
