be action of Congress in attempting
mportation of Chinamen
is not only in violation of the treaty
with Hie Chinese government, bnt of
the spirit of the constitutional arnenl-

been so long clamoring to have the col

As the Chinese were not citizens, and
had no political rights whatever, they
conld threaten little danger to onr gov
eniment. They . were also practically
denied in the West all right to the pro
tection of tlie courts, and were persecut
ed to .snch an extent that if the sufferers
had been Christians and their maltreat-
ors lieaihern Chinese the walls Pekin
would have been battered down two
years ago. If the negroes' of the South
had been heated with one tenth part of
the cruelty and injustice that has been
exercised toward the poor chinamen
who have come . thousands of miles,
across the’sea" to obtain honest t-mploy-

The Silver Dollars.—The rule
which went into Effect January 1st, iu
the New York and some other banks,
not to receive silver dollai'3 except as a
•special deposit, lias not as,yet -lia<| any
effect uponriW circhlntidri and standing
of the standard-silver dollar. • This is
due perhaps inis much to the compara
tively limited amount of the dollars rin
circulation as to the fact that the dis
crimination against them was by no
means general among the. banks of the
count#;
how be a federal garison in every town.
But there.are many serious charges
against- the Mongolian. He is indtis-
trions—he is frugal—lie works for li-ss
wages that it takes to buy the whiskey
and tobacco of the white vagabonds
i and tramps w-lio vote so solidly to ele
vate the negroes over the whites in the
smith, docs betUr woik and dhnt pat
ronize the grog shops of California
where the great bolts of political opin
ions are forged.- .These we admit are
terrible charges viewed from the nar
row sectional stand point of “Northern
and Western bigots and fire-eaters.”
Then the crowfiiug argument is that the
hordes'of Chinese will over-run tho land
and become as the flies of Egypt This
is a strong point, and we want to see it
tried.' Instead of the 150,000 Chinese
laborers how in the United:: States, let
about fonr millions come over, and lets
give them a right to vote. Then let ns
gag the intelligent tux payers with test
oaths and bayonets until the ignorant
degraded Chinamen pm all the carpet
baggers and s'callnwags that come with
them or j >in ih'.in into the most impor
tant offices in the Northern and West
ern States. We will then wait until
these officials steal all' they can from tho
public coffers after filling them by hon-
orotis taxation and the sale of millions
and millions of fraudulent, bonds. Then
we will pitss laws requiring the refined,
lovely ladies of the North to ride in the
same cars with the filthy, strongseented,
vermin infested daughters of the East
(by-way-of-the-West) If this doesn’t suit
the people there, and they try to cheat
the poor man and brother out of his
vote or bnlldoSe him with the potent-
shot gnn argument, we will fill the pen
itentiaries with their toasted chivalry,
and raise the bloody shirt cry, etc, and
soon. We hope onr Northern rendeis
see the point we are driving at. We
propose just to try the above as a mere
experiment—not that we are iri faver of
an alien lace, ir an “off color” gain
ing the political ascendency or exercis
ing any great political power in the
Northern States, No, we merely want
to show our gratitude for what they
have done for the South, and to illus
trate to the stalwarts Enlightened pro
gress in its actual workings.
But passing over the grim humor of
the above, we believe that the advent
of the Chinamen to our country has
opened to our Christian people a most
extraordinary opportunity to convert
and Christianize them and to send
TESTING FERTILI5
To onr mind the mest valuable
document yet published by Dr. Janes,
onr State Commissioner of. Agricul
ture is the late pamphlet giving the
soil test of fertilizers.——Learned men
aud chemists to the cortrary yet we
are old foggy in our notions enough
to believe in the old adage—“The
proof of the pndding is in the eating
of itand when a fertilizer has
produced well by actual test in the
soil there can then be no doubt as to

increase over unmauured laud of the
same quality, and all the chemists in
the m.iverse couldn’t make eyen our
most intelligent farmer’s believe that it
was worth any tiling.
By, all odds the most important
part of the document is that showing
the comparative results from composts
and commercial fertilizers. Ii shows
that composts produce just as good
results as commercial fertilizers, and
cost only from one third to one half
us much per acre,—besides all this the
crops on which compost is used
stands the drought' much bet
ter.
The weight of the testimony goes to
show that commercial fertilizers pay
best on fresh aDd clayey land, for
there the chemicals fiud vuluble
materials to nuite with and convert
-into plant food; but oh exhaustad san
dy lauds they do more,barm than good,
and on these soils the compost heaps
must be resorted to- if the owner would-
not hasten thorn to sterility. It may
actually true of many commercial ferti
lizers that ou poor sandy land the most
valuable ingredient is tbe swamp
muck with which they arc adulterated;
Mr. O. C. Gibbs who attends the
session of the Amber
at St. Louis, writing
Tribune, says: “The greatest interest
centered about the samples of Miller
& Kenny, of Minnesota, Instead .of
sending a quart bottle as a sample,
they sent a barrel of last fall’s, crop,
manufactured for syrup. Ou openiug it
in St. Louis it was, found, tc be seven
eights full of mnsh-sttert.r. Portions of
this, taken from the. barrel in the pres
ence of the convention, were placed in
a little hand centrifugal milking 1,200
revolutions per miuute; and in about five
minutes freed from mqlases, producing
a beautiful, light straw-colored, dry su
gar, yielding about seventy-five per
cent, of the weight of the mush-sugar
in dry. A sample of this sugar was ta
ken to Belcher’s refinery, tested with
the polariscope, and pronounced to con
tain eighty-nine per cent, of genuine
eane-sugai—the balance being water,
glucose, gum, and other foreigu sub
stances.
TO THE FARMERS IN
TEREST,
A Dispatch from Gauze, Milan coun
ty, Texas, says that Deputy Sheriff
Carlton, with a posse, got after a party
of Mexicans who had fired on ah Amer
ican cifizeD, and overtook them near
Milano. The leader refused to sur
render. and {he Sheriff killed him!
The Mexicans then began firing, whea
Carlton’s posse deserted him, -and he

To say that most men are relnctant to
learn anything of advantage to them
selves ought to be quite absurd, but it is
not. To learn is a practical confession
of error or of ignorance, and to be
taught- implies tbe superior knowledge
and culture of another. Grown up men
believe thatlElie-y know enough al
ready respecting matters of material in
terest to themselves. • Moreover to
learu requires a certain menial exercise
which is irksome. Hence book farming
is not only unpopular with tbe masses,
but the mention of it is offensive.
Nevertheless men have learned iv great
deal within a decode. In taking new
departures however they invariably
move stealthily as if afraid that' some
upstart is about to say “I told you so”.
Wliat they learu now they will prac
tice after a while, when nobody is
looking.
The intensely “live” men who peo
pled the land ten years ago have pret
ty thoroughly . learned that to take for
tunes by. storm is scarcely practicable,
a’tlioagh they once despised the man
who doubted that impetuous dash was
bound to win.
It has been learned by many that three
per cent a month, beginirg at the far end
and coming this -way, is about as de
structive as a cyclone.
Men have learned that the mathemat
ical signs by wiiiehjtliey so ingeniously
