ROUSE.


WASHINGTON, March lS.-Edmunds
from the committee on judiciary reported
adversely on the house bill in relation to
certain legal disabilities of women and
moved that it be indefinitely postponed.
1t provides that any woman who shall
have been member of the bar of tie
highest court OF any state or territory or
District of Columbia for the period of three
years may be admitted to practice in the
supreme court of the United States. Ed
munds said the ground OF the adverse re-
port of the committee was, that By the
law of the land, as it had existed since the
organization of the government, the SUD-
rene court as well as all other United
States courts were authorized to make
their own rules touching the admission of
attorneys; that there was no obstacle in
law prohibiting the women to practice in
the \ nlted States court, it depended
entirely upon the discretion of
the court. The committee on judiciary
thought this act would make discrimina-
tIon In favor of woman, as it compelled the
court to admit women to practice when it
was not bound to admit men. On motion
of Sargent the bill was placed on tie cal
endar with the adverse report.
Springer moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill authorizing coinage of
silver on the same terms as the coinage OF
gold without expense to the holder of
| bullion, and also to authorize5the issue of
| coin certificates on deposit of silver bullion
similar to those now authorized on the
deposit of gold bullion; Oh vava voce vote

Apparently the New York elevated rail- roads are adopting one of those shrewd un- principled lodges that are 80 characteristic of the American corporation. They have author ized mortgages to the amount of thirty millions on theirsseveral lines. The roads cost only seven millions, and the purpose of these enor- nous encumbrances is believed to be to fore stall those suits for damages to real estate along their lines, which are such serious dan ger to the prosperity of these enterprises The truth is that if the railroads really injure ad- joining property, they ought to make good the damage they occasion; and any attempt to dodge responsibility will lead, perhaps, to the more serious result of revocation of their charters.

 We are glad to see that the late French elections will give the Republicans control of the Senate. That removes all danger of fur ther reactionary measures, even if McMahon could be again persuaded into them, which is very doubtful. He failed so conspicuously the last time he attempted to override the popular verdict, that he will probably be satis- fled to remain quiet, constitutional president the rest of his term, leaving the government mainly to ministry in sympathy with and responsible to the Assembly.

A wiry little woman, about forty
years old, and with snaky curls down
her back, stepped up to the Presidents
doorkeeper this morning and solemnly
announced that she was the Goddess Of
Liberty, and thai she had '.descended
from the dome of the capitol this

and asked her to remain there awhile.
He shortly afterwards let a party of

wished to pay their respects to him.
Unseen by him the Goddess of Liberty

Our advertising patrons may rest assured
that THE DAILY TINES, circulation in the
city exceeds that Of all others combined,
that It's mail circulation is six times
as much as that OF any other paper
in The city, which fact can be easily es-
tablished by any one desirious Of seeing
the proof Oar aim in the future as in the
past will be to make THE TINES The paper
OF the Missouri Valley.


On the first OF August, or as soon as the
old stock OF paper is used up, We shall en-
large The TINES, not for the purpose of
making room for more advertisements, but
for the purpose Of giving more reading mat
ter.


-Four years ago our receipts for subscrip-
tions were only about $500 per annums
gross.


In the year 1877 the subscription receipts
were about $4,000. This year, 1873, pro-
viding the last half OF the year is as good
as the first half, which closed June 3Oth,
our gross subscription for 1873 will reach
$4,000.


Under these circumstances a plain duty,
which The TINES owes TO itself is to en-
large and improve to the extent that its
presence in eyery'family in the West will
be regarded as a necessity.


or course, the greater the subscription
increase the more prosperous the paper.
Three years ago our subscription receipts
were only one-third Of our advertising re-
ceipts. To-day, our subscriptions will al
most equal our advertising receipts. In
other words our subscriptions increase in
greater ratio than our advertising re-
ceipts. We give these facts with pride.


THE TINES is undoubtedly the strongest
financially, and upon the most permanent
footing, OF any paper in the west. Mere
words OF thanks do not express our graft
tude to the patrons of The TINES, and We
trust in the future by strict attention to the
needs of the newspaper public to furnish
reliable news at the earliest moment and
shah strive to make The TINES a better
newspaper as each year is added to its
existepce.

An exchange referring to the assertion

vote. Suppose you Apply your own rule To

We do not think it would come amiss to

rag-weed lit grows on nearly every farm /;
make it in the usual wsy by pod6pg hot
water on it, and give it until the patient is
relieved. Our informant says ke never
knew it to fail when properly adj kistered.
Another is to take one pint Of clean oats,
brown the same as coffee but not to be
ground, put in vessel with two quarts Of
water, then simmer over the fire and reduce
to one quart; when cool pour it off and
sweeten with loaf sugar. For an adult one

The market is rarely so overstockei that
the best does not command a good price.
The farmer whose butter is strictly gilt
edged, sweet and pure, whose eggs arc al
ways fresh and of good size, whose vegeta-
bIes are always of the best variety, full
grown fresh, and offered in shape to please
the eve, will get his price, even il it be a
little above market rates, and be welcomed
wherever he goes, while his neighbor who
fails in these respects will have to put up
with what he can get, find few regular Gus
TONERS and these of the least desirable
class, and often has to carry his load home
again because no one wants it At any price.

The seeds OF most Of our WORT annual
weeds, such as pig-weed, green amaranth,
fox-tail, rag-weed and mustard, are quite
small, and will not grow if buried in COM
pact soil over an inch in depth. This is
the reason that when the ground once be-
comes infested, it takes so long a time to
eradicate them, The plowing and the har-
rowing must be repeated many times, until
every part of the soil, down as far as the
pillow reaches, is successively exposed to the
action OF the air. In this way crop after
crop of weeds is destroyed, until the soil is
purged of them.

Professor Lawes makes, in letter to
MoOTes Ruqi, the striking statement that
the obstruction OF weeds and more careful
cultivation would be quite as eiiicaciOus in
increasing the produce OF the State OF New
York crops as the employment of artificial
manures." Who doubts that clean culture
the complete extermination of weeds
would be equally as efficacious for the
increase OF crops in the State OF Kansas as
in New York?

Sowed crops will do much harm to young

trees mulched- 1t prevents the rapid evap-
Grafton of moisture from the soil, keeps
the surface mellow, prevents the soil from

cultivate or not can be told by the looks O
the trees. Ii the color of the leaves is
good and the growth all right, and the

enough even in grass. To Judge of the

1t is said there are exceptions to all gem


eral rules, but to the rule Of keeping out Of
debt, so far as the farmer is concerned,
there can be in our opinion no exception.
The rule should be rigid, positive, univer-
sal. Total abstinence is the only safe and
true doctrine in this, as in liquor drinking.
Eat the coarsest and simplest food, dress in
the plainest style, cut off every luxury,
forego every selfish qualification, rather
than allow yourself to be encumbered with
debt. Every farm product is pretty sure
to rule low for some time to come, and
strict economy is the only safe road to in
dependence. With habits ofindustry, tenn
perance, economy and a stern resolve not
to run in debt, the farmer is just as certain
to zee better times as effect is to follow
