To Bo Submitted on Its Merits.
In the suit of the Arkansas Brick
Manufacturing Company against
the board of penitentiary commis
sioners, in Pulaski chancery court,
involving the validity of the con
tract with the company for the hire
of 300 convicts for a period of ten
years, Chancellor Martin held that
the case cannot be decided on de
murrer. The court’s ruling follows:
First. That the motion of the
Brick Manufacturing Company to
strike from the tiles the motion of
the state to be made a party should
be overruled, because it is founded
upon the false theory that the state,
not being a party to the suit, cannot
file any paper until it is made a
formal parly to the record, when as
a matter of correct practice it may,
by leave of court, file a petition to
be made a party, and upon that mo
tion, that is, the motion of the state,
the court will determine its legiti
mate relation to the litigation and
its right to complain or defend with
out striking from the files of the
state’s petition.
Second. That the state’s motion
to be made a party, solely for the
purpose of moving to dismiss the
entire action, should be overruled,
because (1) while the .state cannot
be sued in any court without its con
sent, upon the theory of law de
rived from the common law, and
emphasized by constitution and
statute, that the sovereign will do
no wrong, but will always do jus
tice without compulsion from any
tribunal. When, however, one or
any number, of its officers are guilty
of acts done in the name of the state,
which are alleged to be wrong, such
as attempting to annul, by a simple
resolution of a board, without the
right to be heard, a contract, the
courts have always interfered by
proper process to prevent such acts
as are illegal on the paid of the
state’s officers, and, as has been de
cided by the supreme court of the
United States, the supreme court of
Arkansas and a large number of
others, the courts will not permit
the sovereign to interpose its sover
eign exemption to prevent an inves
tigation of the real merits of a con
troversy growing out of the alleged
illegal acts of its officers; and (2)
if the court should sustain the mo
tion of the state to be made a party
for the exclusive purpose of moving
to dismiss the action, its duty would
be to sustain the motion only to the
extent that it affects the party mak
ing it, that is, the state; and the
result, would be simply to dismiss as
to the state and leave the action still
pending as to the other defendants,
the officers whose acts, if illegal,
may be restrained. Iso useful pur
pose can be subserved, and the court
will not do the fruitless thing of
making the state a party to the suit
for the purpose of dismissing as to
it, and thus leave the action just as
it stood before.
Third. Some of the questions
arising on the demurrer to the bill
are of such a character that an in
vestigation into the facts should bo
had. The demurrer admits all of
the material allegations of the bill,
and admits, in this case, too much.
The defendant will answer the
bill and the case will be submitted
at an early day upon its merits.
Manufacturing in Arkansas.
A preliminary report on the man
ufacturing industry of Arkansas, is
sued by the census bureau, shows
that the state has 4,794 manufac
turing establishments, with a total
capital of $35,9(10,640, and a total
iof $44,883,738 worth of products,
including custom work and repair
ing. The number of establish
ments is 131 per cent more than in
1890. The capital engaged in the
industry shows an increase of more
than 140 per cent, and the valua
v'| tion of products 98 per cent. The
I average number of wage-earners is
26,501; total wages, $8,686,291,
and miscellaneous expenses, $1,482,
779. The 171 manufacturing estab
& lishments in the city of Little Rock
I have a total capital of $3,434,393;
I employ 2,751 wage-earners, draw
' ing $1,384,722 in wages, and the
valuation of products is $4,466,232.
Fruit Tree* In the Southwest.
On most soils In the southwest,
fruit trees will live and bear heavily
during their natural lives with only
an occasional dressing of wood ashes
and a vegetable mulch that can be
grown on the ground. The trees
should have sufficient distance one
way to admit of a few rows of cow
peas, or other leguminous plants,
which may be permitted to live and
die on the ground where grown. Usu
ally the potash, phosphates and lime
in the ashes will be sufficient, and the
legumes will supply all the nitrogen
required. I? the surface soil is quite
thin it may be well to fertilize the
legumes with barn yard manure,
which is in reality fertilizing the
trees through the medium of the
legumes. To economize space, the
trees may be so pruned that they will
spread less toward the broader land,
thus making more space available for
restorative crops. For peach trees,
for instance, 16 by 30 feet would be
a pood distance, and by pruning to a
spread of 20 feet one way, would
leave a width of 10 feet for use as
suggested. If the rows are placed
north and south the crops would have
enough air and sunshine to mature
sufficient crops to serve the purpose.
If on account of scarcity or high
price of land the trees must, be plant
ed closer, then fertilizers should be
applied directly to the soil, and ash
es, or some other potash fertilizer,
should be used, also phosphates, if
needed. lJa.rn yard or any other vege.
table fertilizer will supply the nitro
gen needed. —Farm and Ranch.
—What effect, the great steel strika
will have on the price of cotton bala
ties remains to be seen. The proba
bility is that farmers will, later in th9
season, have to pay strike prices.
