but that garments thus washed become whittier and

upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through i long

over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth

UNCoYsTIrUTlONALITY OF RAILROAD SUBsI-
DlEs.-A letter received from Governor Haight
appears in the Sacramento Union of late date
expressing tho opinion that all legislative acts
providing for the levy of taxes in aid of railroad
or other private corporations, are uuconstitu-
tional. In this we believe the Governor to be
right If the law is not as he lays it down, it
ought to be. Generally speaking, the tax payers
have no voice in the matter. 1t is the laborers
without dollar and dependent upon employ
ment upon public works who vote these appro-
priations. We don't believe in any such doc
trine. No maG ought to be compelled to pay
taxes for such purpose against his will.

acy to piunder the State and rob the
people of their rights. The strong

Gratis and Conservative Republicans.
Both houses have been adjourned
until Monday. In the meantime Ter
ry is to appoint Radical Commission
to inquire into the eligibility of Dem
ocratic members. AS the House
stands now the Radicals are in the
minority. But Terry intend to change
its status by declaring a sufficient
number of Conservatives ineligible.
This will give the Radicals working
majority in both Houses. Tho pros
pect looks gloomy. Bribery, fraud
and brute force are in the ascendency
for the present at least, and Bullock,
backed by Terry and the Radical
Congress, is in a fair way of succeed

PRESERVATION OF LEATHER.-Tho
following valuable hints in regard to
the preservation Of leather we copv
from tho Shoe and Leather Reporter:


The extreme heat to which most
men and women expose boots and
shoes during winter dcprives leather
of'its vitality, rendering it liable to
break and crack. When leather be-
comes so warm as to give off tho
smell of leather, it is signed. Close
rubber shoes destroy the life of leath-
er. All varnishcs and blacking con-
tanning the properties of varnish,
should be avoided.


Shoe leather is greatly abused.
Persons know nothing or care less
about the kind of material used than
they do about the polish produced.
Vitriol blacking is used until every
particle of oil in the leather is DESTROY
ed. To remedy this abuse, the leath-
er should be washed once a month
with warm water; and when about
half dry, a coat of oil and tallow
should be applied and the boots set
aside for day Or two. This will re-
new the elasticity and life in the
leather, and when thus used, upper
leather will seldom crack or break.


Don't wash harness I'M water and
with soap. No harness is ever So
soiled that a damp sponge will not
remove the dirt. When harness
loses its lustre and turns brown, which
almost any leather will do after long
exposure to tho air, the harness should
be given now coat of grain black.
Before using this grain-black, the
grain surface should be thoroughly
washed with potash water until all
tho grease is killed, and, after tho
application of the grain-black, oil and
tallow should be applied to the sur
face. This will not only 'sfasten tho
color" but make the leather flexible.
Harness which is grained can. DO
cleaned with kerosine, or spirits. OR
turpentine, and no harm will result if
the parts affected are washed and
oiled Immediately a1terward. ..,,, g.;

4 correspondent Of the Rural Caro-
inian," discOursing upon the situation,
says:


There is one idea which seems to have
taken possession of the Southern people,
and until that is eradicated there is but
little prospect of real prosperity. We
mean the devotion Of all our energies to
the production of cotton. It will not do
to be dependent upon the West for our
corn, flour and bacon, and upon the North
and East for everything we wear, from
hat to pair OF shoes, or use, from piano
to an axe-handle.


All this talk about the value of the cot
ton crop, the restoration of the South,
glorious prosperity, and the like, is mere
twaddle. The rich are growing richer.
and the poor poorer, = cry day. The
money does not stay at home to build mp
railroads, factories and internal improve
mcnts, but it goes North and West for
subsistence, gew-gaws and gim cracks
Nor is it used to pay off old debts, and
thus lengthen the honesty and indepen-
dence of the citizen. It is spect recklessly,
because a great deal of it is in the hands
of class which never had money to spend
before. 1t is spent freely by others because
it is graenbacks, and they feel that there
is no security in any investments they can
make. Does not any man of common So
gacity see what must be the end of borrow
ing money at from twelve to twenty-five
per cent. 20 grow cotton with unreliable
labor, and be dependent upon our oppres-
sors for nearly everything we eat, wear or
use.


We do not object to the planting of cot
ton as the money crop. That is all right
plant but little, cultivate it well, and make
it pay. We believe the true policy is to
contract the area in cultivation, cultivate
more carefully, improve the staple, and
compete with the world for the finest
quality rather than the greatest quantity.
Grow all the corn, wheat, oats and pota-
toes required for your own consumption.
convert ali swampy places into meadows,
provide yourself with clover lots, barley
lots, rye lots, and all means OF aiding the
corn crib. Try to raise few more hogs,
cattle, sheep, and drop in now and then o
horse or mule colt Encourage your neigh
Dor, who has knack OF coopering, and
have your tubs and buckets made at home
Patronize your own tanneries and shoe
makers. Make your own axe-helves and
clothes-pins. Encourage your home wag-
on and carriage e-makers, plough manufac-
turers and blacksmiths-don't run to the
store for everything. Patronize your own
magazines and newspapers; pay for them
and read them.
