ection of congress on the tariff question
and It seems probable that up v ry dsclded
Improvement will bo manifestwl until tho

T1IE 1EB 8TSTEM
There Is one recommendation of Presi-
dent Clevelands message which should
commend H elf not only to congress but
to the pop1 rreherally
It Is the abolition of the feo system as
spplloabis to the compensation of United
State attorneys tnantbala clerks of Fed
era courts and United State commlsi
doners
It Is clearly In the Interest of the com-
munity says tho president that the bu l
ne3 of tho erart both chll nnd criminal
shall be as sm ll and oj Inexpensively
transacted as U > 4 ends of Justus win al-
low lie further declares tho system Is
thoroughly vicious whlth msdtes the com
pensstlon of court cOeisls depend upon
the volume of such tBiwcw nnd thus
creates a oonDkt between s proper ex-
ecution of the law and private sain which
can njt fall tq be dansarous to the rights
and freedom of lh eltlseo and an Ir-
resistible temptation to the unjustifiable
expeiidllure of public funis
If this b true of Federal conrt ofrtcl l
Rlfl it oot apply with equal force to State
county and municipal offices Many rta
sons might be advanced In support of th
claim that the fee system Is generally
pernicious and should be abolished when-
ever and wherever It can be dons In the
Interest of the publlo service It Is immi-
nently proper that tho public servant
should be paid according to Us service
but his compensation ought not to u con

Lively times In the South Cnro
llnn Itodlcs In Ororcln
nlehmond Va December 8 As soon
aa the two houses organized today Gov-
ernor McKInncy sent In hl message
which is a voluminous and strong docu-
ment
The governor begins with Uie gratify-
ing statement that tho financial condition
of the State Is better than It haa been
for years and is steadily Improving
That It Is ample to pay tho regular ex-
penses of government sustain the asy-
lums and schools pay Interest on tho pub-
lic debt and provide for tho Confederate
veterans Ths assessment of taxes has
Increased from f2MSKS13 in lisSH to 13
1 7 X > 31 In 1S03
He teals briefly with the public debt
stating that under the settlomcnt effected
during his administration 24tf3oS of old
bonds have been received In exchange for
new There Is still outstanding n small
balance of bonda which hnvo not been
exchanged because the Ilmltittlon given
tho board of commissioners expired be-
fore this could ba accomplished He rec
onmends that their powers bo renewed
tor ft limited time so that the whole dobt
may be settled on the same conditions
1our times tho attnlannual interest has
fallen due and was promptly met every
time Ho also recommends that tho com-
missioners of tha sinking fund be author
liiJ to purchnso so many of the bonds
of trie State as th y can With propriety
do so that thero shall be no increase in
the amount to be paid in meeting the u
cent Interest when it talu duu lu
Jer IjOI
lie says that there are now 1310 con
victs n th penitentiary 113 Of whom
are serving a second term
Tho governor suggests that a law should
bo enacted allowing tho chief executive
to grant conditional pardons to prls
onen In the pcnltfntiarj nnd In tho coun-
ty Jails He recommends tha ticketof
Icuao pun based upon tnc goad bchmlor
of the prisoner with substsnuent urrcai
and Imprisonment on the falluro of tho
person thus released to coiuluet hlmstlf
as a good citizen Attention Is called
to Use Hstoundlng fact that the ctlmlmu
expenses of the State hava increased from
Wt > in 1WK and SlIOOCW ill 1870 to
WS1UU0 in 1MM
The governor deals at length with the
oyster questlo i > ie t ha has carefully
studied and believes that tho problem
will be coNcd It the present policy Is
pushed to Its logical end He holds that
the oyster grounds belong to the whole
people and that they should Ret their be
onslncs Tho grounds arc rented at the
low prko of SI per acre
The governor loeoroinends that tho ves-
sels now uw > d as a force to guard nnd
protect tho oyster Interests should be dls
po ed of and others better suited should
l > selected
The goyurnor shows that thero are In
the HUtos waters IWiooi acres of natural
bed or rorlts which no dredge should ever
be allowed to scrape In Chesapeake bay
proper there aro Gfioono acres of ground
to say nothing of the grounds on the
ocean side of tha Accomac an North
ampton and mnrsh lands Tho governor
WIIoe that In time all Iheno can be
rented at l an acre giving tho State a
mcvnlflcem revenue
The governor chIIs intention to the poor
pay of circuit ccTOrt judges Their salaries
wero rodiiciKl he siriH irhcit Virginia wnn
In great fliMinclal distress but nqw that
the debt has been mottled and the rnvenues
tho Ktate art oufflclent to Jnatlfy it he
jaoimncnds that the iay of Judges bo in-
creased because increased puy will iusuic
such faithful and intelligent men a fair
compensation for their services
The governor ulioi it foi granted that
bstttr country roads nro necessary mm
SUggcaU that tho counties and townh
wtjioti deslro to do so should be allowed
to issue bonds rcd iimhIo In thirty years
The governor billeves that even undot
tho presunt system Virginia spends lu
money and statutory labor TCO000 per an
num on publlo roads This sum ho snjs
w
have but a few days left and aro simply
nead over heels In unfinished legislation
Accordingly tt motion was Introduced In
lho momlng session that f < v the balance
of the week both hftcrnoon and evening
sessions be held
Some of the statesmen looked a little
glurrt nt this proiiosltlon but nobody had
tho temerity to oppose It nnd it went
through with a feeble affirmative
tn tho course of the day a good many
measures of Interest and some of genulno
Importance were acted upon
The bitterest nght was upon the school-
book bill of Mr West of Lowndes and for
a time things wero decidedly lively upon
the Hour It Is an old loglrlatlve bugbear
and was put Into Its little grave this time
just as It his been for four consecutive
jfsKlonn in tho past
The constitutional convention bill Intro-
duced by Mr Ileagnn was tho subject
of another spirited dscu sIon but tho
fates were against It nlso and tho cloqUonco
of Its projector and friends proved to bo
loon labor lost
The bill Of Mr Oraham of Appling acted
upon late In thn nfternoon Is a measure of
genuine Importance albeit It made no
special stir It substitutes a general game
law for tha special regulations on tha sub-
ject which have hcrutotoro prevailed In tha
several counties Tha bill passed after
some opposition
At the night session Mr Kings bill
providing for amendments to the city
chnrter passed This provides for tha
election by tho people of city officers tho
treasurer the clerk tho marshal the en-
gineer city attorney tax collector comp-
troller sexton and commissioner of pub-
lic works

Austin Texas December 6 The fol-
lowing Is from Commissioner Holllngs
worth commissioner of the department
of agriculture statistics and history
It has been one o7 fa > main efforts as
commissioner of agriculture to collect In
my department an exhibit of the various
products of the Slate together with such
Information as would be of use In exem-
plifying the agricultural and horticul-
tural posslbllltes of Texas While I readily
Sdmlt the great valuo of our undeveloped
resources and Uie importance of establish-
ing factories yet at the same time I
nra forced to the conclusion thnt the
wealth of Texas consists In Its Incompara-
ble agricultural and horticultural possi-
bilities pursuits to which our people are In
all things adapted and the soil climate
and season lend every aid I do not claim
to hove completed my work so far as
to give in tun thesa possibilities jet 1
think sufficient can be said to arouse on
interest at homo and to bo exceedingly
suggestive to all persona Investigating
such questions
in beginning I will assert that in no
place does Experimenting with varlctlea
and methods produce more startling re-
sults than In Texas Often a man falls
nith a variety where later on anothor
man by adopting a new method using the
same variety makes a most signal suc-
cess When Mr H M Slrlngfcilovy con-
cluded to plant a pear orchard In Galves-
ton county and malic tho Le Conto pear
his principal one his frirnds told him
failed to
who had tried that pear and
beware of danger and great less Haying
nothing to guide him In the Way of Other
mens success and knowing what Ills
friends told him was bo he concluded as-
a last resort Id plant tho pear orchard and
rely on new mothoda tor results This
jear hd hao marketed B127 bushels pf
pcara off of thirteen acres and has paid
out nearly 1100 per acre to his neighbors
as wages for help nnd harvesting and
tho ci op netted him 5t5 His new method
was merely to fertllUo his land heavily
using na much ns a ton per acre and his
results a fortune to himself and descend-
ants I havo in my collection ono bushel
Of thfso pears and they average 33 ounces
each In weight aud will sell on account
of excellence In any market In Oats I
can present some wonderful facts tncy
nro winter oats and have been grown
by Mr John Harrison of Nash Kills
county for twentytvo years As iwon as
ho harvests his ont ho turns under the
atubb His oats come up voluntarily
arid he only row when he desires to
change his field for oats The samples I
have are the nfth crop from the bowing
on which one hundred mules were pas-
tured all winter and yet it made over
seventy bushel per acre His least crop
11s > is twentytwo yearn was sixty bushels
to the acre and he has made as high as
ninety bushels per acre I also have tha
red oats taken out of a four hundred acre
thit averaged over ona hundred
patch
and rwentyrive buaheW per acre Wheat
of wnfch 1 have six varieties hows a
Held ranging from 21 to bushels per
acre This comprises both Bprlng nnd
winter wheat and the samples are ex
CCil eie t black
are
ie
waxy lands in the North and Central por-
tions of the Htato and tha black sandy
choeolato and red lands of the West and
North As cotton is the principal crop or
the black waxy lands but little experi-
ment on varieties and methods as to grain
has been mode It Is looked upon by ail
that a crop of grain Is certain and but
tittle care Is given to the preparation of
the aotl or the selection of the variety
In tho West and Northwest nil credit for
a crop Of grain IS given to the season and
Variety ond methods play but a small
part yet I have all kinds of grain per-
fectly grown and showing a large yield
In all the States where the people on ac-
count of the density of the population and
scarcity of land have been forced to
adopt methods and select varieties with a
view to get all possible from the soil the
yield In groin has uniformly been doublsd
from what It formerly was 1 think 1 can
safely Jtay that every Indication points to
similar results In this Htate Here I have
oatu hat have made 12S bushels per acre
Th man who grow them put In a little
extra time in preparing tho soil HI
neighbors made 75 bushels per acre hence
this little extra time paid him 60 bushels
of oats per acre Now let us add fertiliz-
ers and fl little more time nnd what thenT
In Wheat I havo 48 bushels per acre
against 25 for neighboring tnrms A little
extra work in preparing the soil p ld S3
bushels of wheat per acre Now what
can be added by varieties and rertUUersf
In corn barley millet and rye the same
results aro shown I am convinced that by
experimenting on methods and a selection
of the variety best miliod the yield of
grain In this State can be made phenome-
nal and the grain crop of the West and
Northwest made aa sure as the cotton
crop on the black lands
I have often advocated the diversifying
of crops I know there ore portions of
Texan that can make mora out of crops
that can be successfully grown there than
out of cotton I have soma line samples
of tobacco from many places In Texas
and It can be made a paying crop A Mr
George Mayer In Dallas county is making
i00 per acre on tobacco The Idea that
tobacco grown hero IS not so strong and
Well flavored ns that grown elsewhere la
a mistake because when properly handled
arid cured It has both strength and flavor
Texas tobacco Is like all other kind31 It
must go through ewoals and curloir pro-
cesses to bring out its qualities but Its
qualities when brought out are porfoct
and will sell anywhere Hi Hast Texas
and along tho coast of Texas tobacco
should bo cultivated extensively and with
big protlt 1 also have flax It elecortlcates
perfectly with a fine fibre nnd the yield of
teed la largo Pint Is extensively growri
Just for the seed and the seed maturea

L Huffman sc rctaryor the State Hor-
ticultural noclaty and by his thorough
knowledge of sume I am able to secure
the necessary data for the preparation of
this article In this connection I desire
to Bay I have read With interest a lato
article by Mr Huffman In the Texas
Farm and Iinnch In which he suggests
a board of agriculture for Touts which
meets my hearty approval His plan as
he says Is the same as that of Massa
thUsettp which haa been tried and found
to be eminently satisfactory and I am
satisfied lc will woik admirably In Texas
There are no Interests of greater im-
portance than those of agriculture and
horticulture and none that have boen
more neglected by this State along tho
lines pointed out by Mr Huffman and
a combination should ba formed and a
campaign of education at onco begun so
that when the legislature meets such In-
terests would be well rcpifetented In Order
that the necessary aid could be secured
