Whig. The resolutions adopted by the Jef ferson county (Ky.) alliance, as pub lished in the Farmer's Home Jour nal, are something out of the usual order, and show that organization to be composed of sound thinking men. They want the direct tax money repaid the state turned into the pub lic school fund; they ask the legisla ture to make a liberal appropriation for a state exhibit at the world's fair; they want all persons convicted of petit larceny and misdemeanors put toworkonthe public roads, instead of being confined in the jails and sup ported by1 the tax payers; they want a law requiring all children to attend school at least ten months in the year provided school be accessible to them; and lastly, they ''demand a tax of one dollar on every dog in the state,, said tax to be collected and held as a fund to pay- for sheep killed by dogs, the surplus, if any, to go in- , to the public school fund." These are all reforms which would be of practical benefit to the farmer, and if the alliances in Tennessee would unite in making such de mands, it would be highly to their credit. And with these reforms car ried into effect, the farmers would be so busy enjoying their prosperity they would have no time to waste with third parties and Ocala resolutions.
