On the 16th of November last, the English steamer Bando, from Liverpool, bore me across the bay of Galveston. She was loaded with 9,695 bales of cotton, and drew fifteen feet, two inches of water without touching the bar. .It it was high noon when I boarded the boat where I spent the rest of the day. The most of the crew were of my own ' nationality, seamen trained in a severe and practical school. They spared no trouble in showing me the othe to free themselves from the corn-stalk disease or germ. Please say to the Dr. for me and others that nine old nay seeds out of ten can tell him how to remedy it in half the words it took him to tell it, and in words tnat tne aver age granger can understand. Here is the remedy: Have a gooaeweu nu tank in the center of the field. Keep the tank full of water. Have salt con venient and instruct your corn picker to leave the nubbins wnicn no gen erally does without instruction, especi ally ft picking by the bushel. This is a dead shot on all corn-stalk germs.

Editor Alliance Independekt: In a recent issue of your paper you ask if any of your old-line greenback readers can give you the necessary data with regard to the genuineness of the T7a79rd olmnlar. I am not as old a greenbacker as some. The democratic party was a greenback party in loots but it gradually slil away till it fell On its knees before the money power in 1872. Since that time it has gradually fell in line till now it is on the single ocMK atandard.

" 1 h. inwMwii to many millwn KJ iUV 1 OUR CUSTOM HOUSE SYSTEM. Benefits and Special Privilege Bettowed rpoa the Few. It Is quite evident that the great blessings of paternalism, as at present practiced by the covernment are not fully understood or appreciated by the people. Paternalism is only ob jectionable to the class that is crying out so loudly against it. when it is proposed to extend it so as to embrace all the people in the enjoyment of the privileges it bestows, wnen lim ited to a few favorites it is entirely satisfactory. We could ask, no better illustration of this fact than is afforded by our present custom house system. What proportion oi tne people oi the United States understand this system? Evidently it is very small otherwise a cry would go up against it which ceuld not fail to sooner or later, command a hearing. It affords an example of special privilege almost without a parallel in the busi ness affairs of any nation or time. What Is a custom house? asks tne Topeka Advocate and Tribune. It is a nublio building erected by the gov ernment at the expense of the whole neonle. What purnose uoes it serve, ana 10 what use is it devoted? It contains the offices of local custom house offi' eiala. and sonce for the storage" oi imported goods under their custody and care - , So lone as a tariff system is main-. taioed, it will not be denied that local officers are necessary, nor will tbe propriety of covernment ownership of r the offices necessary . for their accommodation be call in question. As we do not now cont , .plate a dis cussion of this feature o. the system, allUhat'Telaterto it may be dismissed for the present , It is only 'proposed at this time to discuss tbo paternal features of our custom house system as practiced ,- for : the benefit of the favored lew. Tho importer of goods from foreign ports has the privilege of storage in the ' custom houses of the United States, under the regulations pro vided. for the term ' of three years from date of importation, during all of which time the duty on the goods mav remain unpaid.- Here is special privilege of immense benoBt to tbe importer, were it not ior ims privilege two things would be necos eary: First He would be under the neceS' sity of erecting warehouses at his own expense for the storage of bis own goods. This would necessitate the investment of his private capital where now the money of the people is invested for his benefit. Second As he would then tako possession of and store his own goods in his own warehouse immediately on their arrival in this country the safety of the revenue would BLIND EYES OPENED. J. W.

On the way back the czar wanted a cup ot tea. oui owing to a sGdden jerk of the railway carriage the tea was upset The next morning (so goes the story) the wliole line between St Potor.sbury and Izora was carefully searched by numbers or men, ordered to find out what had rkedthe czar s teacup! kvery time the czar goes up ana down io rcwruui the steamers have to ftccoraieu, traffic is susoentlecl on the river, and occasionally even the loading of iteamcrs is stopped. The Infallible Jadge Private Boadsmra for Public Official. This is the ace in which 'Wind eyes are opened," and very especially are they opened to errors in govern menusv A falsehood worthy of the dark ages, is that or tbe lniaiiiouiiy of the court Tbe decisions oi the judge, with all his reasons therefor, are preserved and form that mysteri ous law library whose numerous vol umes in, wonderful array awe tneir humble clients to obedient and un questioning faith.' The court pre sumed to be infallible, must necessa rily become the supreme dictator to future courts. The veneraoie pasi robed in . immaculate justice, , steps into the court room of to-day. ana lawyers abd clients tremble at its voice. Lawyer Brown rises wita tne righteous decision of ono of the for mer infallible judges, whicn ne inter prets to apply in favor of his client Tnen lawyer Jones comes lorwara with the decision of another infallible Interpreter of the law which proves that his client is the innocent ana persecuted party. mmtOt Then the present iniatiiDie occupant of tho bench has the most wonderful duty to perform of making an Infalli ble decision without clouding the infallibility of his predecessors on the same bench. What ordinary mortal could be equal to such a superhuman task! Kinc Solomon would five it up! t ... a When the plain, common people oi this ago dietate the laws, the legal fraternity will be forbidden to em Darrass the judges with precedents, writes Mary M. Clardy in the Econo-mist ; Every representative of the people on tbe bench will be sworn to decide on his own judgment according to the law and the evidence. The ghosts or dead judges will not be called upon to decide the cases of people now living on tho earth. - Another venerable fraud will also be eliminated from disgracing the administration of our government That fraud is the demanding of pri vate bondsmen from public officials. To illustrate. The voters f Bun combe county, havo for tleir own satisfaction, elected as couuty treas urer, the social clever Colonel Top knot He is just faultless. Every body has confidence in him. The letter of tho law demands that he 6hall give bond for the exact handling of tbe people s money, bo, his neign bors. farmers Strong and McLain, and the retired merchant and the successful saddler, all 6ign the bond. By and by. through isome careless nesa the people s money has van Ishcd from tho treasury. The voters of Buncombe county made a great blunder in electing Colonel Topknot But they have a law behind ' which screen their backs.
