WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1891 ‘VOTARIES OF SCIENCE. Continued from Sizth Page. His Present Economie Condition and Future Prospects.” At the outset Prof. James said that the condition of the farming class is at present exciting keen attention in nearly every civilized country. The polities and economics of the United ‘States, England, France, Ger- many, Austria and even Russia are busied today with the farmer as they never were before. In one or another of these countries similar ques- tions have at other times been discussed per- haps even more eagerly than now; but never belore have they afieen in such acute shape in all these count t once. The farmer ques- tion, therefore, it would seem, is no longer @ local question, no longer confined to the United States, but is world-wide in its import- nee and maxi be considered, to some extent, in its internatio; <1 ‘There 18 no question now before the Ameri- can people more interesting in its economic and political ts than this one of the farmer and his relation to other classes in the community. The remarkable phenomena oc- curring in connection with the Farmers’ Alli- ance movement show at oncé how deeply the iron bas entered into the soul of the American farmer and how thoroughly he bas become aware that for some reason or other he is not keeping pace in bis material, intellectual and social progress with other classes in the com- munity. HOW IT LOOKS TO THE FARMER. It is not surprising that in this awakening he should not at first perceive the true source of his ills, and that he should attribute many of the disadvantages under which he labors to the machinations of other social classes. It is natural that he should see in the railroads, in the gold bugs of Wall street, in the tariff on imports, in the banks and bankers and in the monetary policy of the government,tho bitter enemies of his prosperity. It must also be acknowledged that there is a certain justification in his view of matters. Nothing will be gained for us either trom au economic or political point of view by be- litiling or deriding the views of western tarm- which will make three trips to that pleasant resort. ‘Tne telegraphers will enjoy themselves tomor- row evening by going to Marshall Hall on the Macalester, which will leave at 6:30 o'clock. The old-timers, the military telegraphers and those who are working the key at present will be on band, and with their wives, their sisters, their cousins and their aunts will see to it that all who go will have an enjoyable time. ‘The com- mittee of arrangements have been indefatiga- Ule in their work and there will be good musi-, good dancing and everything to make the time asantly. Tonight the last excursion of that yalar and charitable organization, the Elks, takes place at Marshall Hall. A novel entertainment s been arranged in the form of a minstrel first part on the lawn, tenor. baritone and base solos, musical specialties, fireworks, illumi ton snd a grand old-fashioned quadrille for the old-timers, figures to be called by Brother George D. Scott, who has general management of the entertainment. —_—_ Another Veteran Gone. Dr. R.H. Buck, a veteran of the late war, died at his residence, 1224 Biadensburg road, at 2 o'clock this morning, at the advanced age of seventy-one.

The American farmer has a griev- ance—a real and true grievance—one that will not become less by poopoohing it, but one which must be careiully studied by students of economics and statistics to ascertain, if possi ble, how far it is justitied and whether it can be remedied, and if so, by what means. Asa matterof fact, the wealth of the United States is flowing away from its farms into ite factories and railroads; from the country into the city; from the rural into the urban districts. ‘The policy of our railroad companies has borne hard upon the individual farmer and upon the farmer as aclass. It has altered all the condi- tions of agriculture in many sections of the country and in nearly all of them in such a way needlessly to burden and embarrass the farmer. The granger legislation of the west- ern states was a perfectly justifiable attempt to check the wanton aggression of many railroad managers upon the fundamental rights of the rural classes, and though it was at many points unsuccessiul it was the first distinct step in policy of controlling railroad management in the interests of the public. Our system of taxation as a whole rests most heavily upon the farmer. ‘There is little doubt that under the method of a general property tax now prevailing in this country the rural district is, relatively speaking. far more heavily taxed than the city; the farmer pays more than the merchant or the railroad owner. That he should not be willing to rest quietly under this burden is not unnatural. Nor is there any doubt that the financial pol- icy of the country, using that term in tie broadest sense, as including the whole system of monetary transactions built up by the com- ation of governmental action and private initistive,discriminates very directly and keenly inst the farmer and the farming class, or at least that it discriminates in favor of other classes, which amounts to the same thing. THE TARIFF. Nor can it be said that the tariff policy of the country has been managed at least directly with an eye as much to the farmer's interest as to that of other classes. Iam aware that this is a much mooted question, but I do not believe that any one who has taken pains to study other tariffs will clam that tho farmers, as a class, have had such immediate influence ir fixing given rates of duty as the manufacturers, for example. it is no wonder, then, that the American farmer isin a bad way and likely tobe in a worse oue. Along what line does improvement lie? In the first place, of course, in the direc- tion of altering the influences above referred to. Railway policy must be altered at many pointe—at some of them fundamentally. ‘The sysvem of taxation must be readjusted and the farmer relieved of unjust burdens. The tariff must be improved; the banking and general monetary policy of the country changed in many respects. TRE REMEDIES. But all these are after all mere palliations. ‘They do not go to the root of the matter. The forces which are crowding the American farmer to the wall are world wide and not merely national forces. He is going to the wall Decause he is trying to compete with farmers of alow grade of intelligence and civilization in the production of crops where intelligence and civilization count for comparatively little. ‘The Russian peasant, the Indian ryot, the South African boor can raise wheat at such Tates as will surely crush the American farmer who relies on competing in the London market. Every year sces new stretches of territory opened up and brought nearer to London, which are quite as good as Dakota or Montana. ‘The whole southern hemisphere will shortly be made accessible and every territory that can is Tushing into the same field of wheat and corn raising. ‘The American farmer must seek new crops where intelligence and skill count for more than mere fertility of soil or juxtaposition to market, and where having once established himseli he may bid detiuuce to the ignorance and ineiticiency of foreign peasant, ryot or voor. ‘This calls for a broad and liberal’ policy toward agriculture in ail its relations. It in- volves governmental and private co-operation in the encouragement of forestry and farming, two branches which, though long divorced in this country, must go hand in hand if both are to flourish. “It demands active aid for agri- cultural schools, agricultural experiment sta- tions, agricuitural fairs and expositious—in word for all those various means by which agri- cultural science and art maf be extended and made more efficient. If our farmers’ altiances, rangers’ associations, horny-handed sons of toil conventions, &c., &c., would, with all their getting, get understanding, would, after secur- ing, or better while securing, needed reforms in the railway, tax, tariff and monetary policy of the country, go to the very root of the mat- ter, viz., remedy the indolence, ignorance,con- servatism of the farming classes themselves in all that pertains to agriculture, no American could have cause to regret even the wildest Jubrications of the fiat-money anti-corporation demagogue. ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS. The Society of Economic Entomologists closed its annual session yesterday after @ suc- cessful meeting of two days. Officers were elected as follows: Dr. J. A. Lintner, state entomologist of New York, president; Prof. 8. A. Forbes, state entomologist of Ili- nois, first vice president;J. H. Comstock, pro- fessor of entomology in Cornell University, second vice presidént, and Prof. F. M. Webster of Ohio State University, secretary. The addi- tional new members elected were Prof. G. H. Hudson of New York, Prof. H. A. Morgan of Louisiana, Prof. B. P. Mann,Waxhington, D.C., and Miss M. £. Murtfeld, Missouri. The paper which was read yesterday, as stated in Tue Star, by Prof. C. V. Riley on “Government Work versus the Patent Office” was based one patent recently obtained by three parties in California for the treatment of trees by hydrocyanic acid gas for the destrue- tion of scale insects and other insects that in- {atiously affect thom. Prof. Riley reviewed at ength the efforts of the department in this line of investigation, and showed conclusively that this gas treatment bad originated with and Leen perfected by one of the agents of the division of entomology, who had, in fact, for the past five years, been carrying on a series of experiments in this particular line under Prot. Riley’s direction; that no sooner lad the treatment come to be recognized as of the greatest utility and perfected vo that it was cheap and available to all necding to use it than application was made by the parties in question, and in spite of a protest from Assist- ant Secretary Mi ta of the Department ot Agriculture, ing the ‘2] ion, a patent ‘was finally granted.» The fact that tho has been fully deacribed and recorded in offi- ture did not influence the patent office. So val- uable is this treatment considered that an effort instance thas I now recall have the patent under like cireumstan een tue bo endorse circumstances, their claims in the courts. oe is invalid and the —— ut n piece of paper carrying no evidence priority of invention, and it is Sitter or larity in the patent “cee ts antl ity or mt office, it ever have been cae Prot. Riley mentioned other cases of this kind where, after years of labor and large ex- penditure on the of the ea eee of Agriculture, valuable results been ob- tained. In some cases they took the form of mechanisms, which were described and figured in the official rey He said: “There is nothing more discouraging to an officer of the government engaged in original investigations with a view to benefiting the public than the efforts of various private in- ividuals to appropriate the results of which the foregoing case isan example. I have been engaged now for nearly a quarter of a century either aa a state or government officer in inves- tigations, having for their object in the main the protection of plants and domestic animals from the attacks of injurious insects. Either directly or with the aid of assistants these in- vestigations have resulted in some important discoveries of universal application, and I can say with pride that, though’ often urged to take personal advantage of such dis- coveries, I have in no single instance accepted a fee for information given or received a dollar from any application of these discoveries, even where others have reaped fortunes. Asa sala ried officer my duty was plain and I make the statement without boastfulness and simply to emphasize the discouraging fact that in every instance where the benefit to the public has been great, either the honor hns been contested by private parties or else means have been taken by private individuals to control through patent or otherwise the discoveries for their personal ends. It seems to me that on this account the patent office should be extremely careful in considering applications for patents for objects which the government is already endeavoring to accomplish, to ascertain fully what the government has done, as any other course will tend to pervert, discourage and neutralize all honest effort made by other de- tof Agricul-| board the partments of the government for the public good." PROF. RILEY'S RECEPTION. A Large Number of Prominent Scientific Visitors Enjoy His Hospitality. About a hundred of the prominent scientific visitors to Washington availed themselves of Prof. C. V. Riley's invitation to meet the Asso- ciation of Economic Entomologists at an infor- mul reception at his residence, Washington Heights, last evening. The handsome grounds were brilliantly illuminated until a storm early in the evening drove most of the visitors in- doors, but the occasion was none the less en- Joyable on account of the many arrangements which had been made for the entertainment of the guests. Scientific men of different special- ties, instead of separating into congeneric groups, fraternized, and the botanist swapped yarns with the geologist, the entomologist listened with apparent interest to tales of ad- venture from the anthropologist, while the prominent Washingtonian made himself gen- erally agreeable, as is his wont. Among the Fominent people present were Prof. A. B. rescott of Ann Arbor, Mi presi- dent of the American Association for the Adyancement of Science; Prof. Joseph LeConte of California, Prof. F. E. Nipher of St. Louis, Prof. W. H. Brewer of Yale College, President J. Milly of Guelph Agricultural College, Ontario, Canada; Prof. 1. P. Roberts of Cornell University, Prof. W. T.

A Round of Excursions, An attractive program of excursions has been arranged by the committee composed of Ever- ett Hayden (chairman), J. Stanley Brown and Bailey Willis. In a circular issued by the com- mittee the points of interest are given, how to reach them and the prices. Through the periaission of the director of the geological survey, a copy of the twenty- foot contour map of the District and adjacent portions of Virginia and Maryland can be ob- tained at the office of the local secretary by each member and associate. This will add greatly to the interest of excursions in and about the District. lu order to visit the vari- ic buildings, departments, bur tage, thirty will be formed and wteephoue message sent to announce that the party is coming. In order to give an opportunity to pay an early morning visit to the Washington monu- ment the elevator will make five extra balf- hour trips, commencing at 7 a.m. Satarday, limited to those who wear the badge of the association.

A. A. O. met at 10 o'clock this morning at Wil- lard's for the purpose of reorganizing for the ensuing year. There were present H. W. Gar- field, Charles Catlin, H. K. Hinchman, M. A. Mullin, Walter Stimpson, F. B. Standish, Theo. Van Raden; R. H. Pelton, G. D. Phillips, W. H. Gibson. The absentees were John Huneker and A. P. Sweet. Officers were elected at once, the old board being chosen as follows: Presi- dent, H. W. Garfield; vice president, Charles Catlin; treasurer, H. K. Hinchman; secretary, W.H. Gibson. The auditing committee re- ported that it had examined the accounts of the treasurer and found them correct, with a balance in bank of $424.67. ‘THE CONSTITUTION TO BE PRINTED. A resolution was adopted providing that in the annual publication, containing the report of the president, the laws and regulations, the constitution of the association shall be printed in the back, so that it can be torn out and for- warded indorsed to the secretary by clubs de- siting to become members. On motion of Mr. Stimpson it was ordered that the secretary compile directory contain- mg the names of the captains of association clubs, and that members of the committee pre- pare local directories of all clubs in their own, vicinities. Mr. Van Raden spoke for some time about the action taken by the committee on Monday in debarring Hawkins from participation in the regatta. He thought that the committee had been too hasty and urged that the man be allowed to row in the finals today under protest. Commodore Mullin and Mr. Gartieid defended the action of the committee and the mutter went over without action being taken. ‘The case will be considered at the Uctober meeting of the committee. On motion of Mr. Van Raden the term of Mr. Peterson as chairman of the regatta com- mittee, which legally expired last night, was continued until the end of the regatta. Mr. Stimpson moved, and it was unani- mously voted, that a vote of thanks be tendered the three local clubs giving the regatta. A copy of the resolution will be furnished to them, ‘The committee then adjourned to meet the second Saturday in October at the Gilsey House in New York. GEORGETOWN, FIRED AT THE BURGLARS. When at 12 o'clock night before last Mr. R. W. Rodgers of 3231 P street was about to re- tire his attention was arrested by the furious barks of s pet spaniel, which was in the base: ment. An instantlater a lower door was struck three or four sharp, quick blows, presumably with an ax, and then ail was silent. Securing dlouble-barreled shotgun Mr. odgers tiy- toed his way in the direction of the sounds, with a brave determination to exterminate the cyuse of those blows. Lut Mr. Kodgers’ mother Hd been aroused by the eoundae and just as the gunner reached the lower door she, as mostall ladies under such circumstances, would, screamed and fainted. The would-be burglars then, finding themselves discovered, made a dash'through flowers and shrubs for the back fence, but they did not reach it in safety, as Mr. Kodgers, who is a good shot, let drive both barrels at the feet of the fleeing men, and the yell that followed was louder than ‘the gun's report. One of them was evidently hurt budiy, but be did not tarry to bind up his wound. The neighborhood had by this time been aroused, and night-capped heads were thrust from every window. Soon the police made their appearance on the scene and a search was made for the cause of all the disturbance, but beyond the discovery of several spots of blood nothing was found. A few hours before the residence of Mr. Beale, 3132 P street, had been broken into by burglars, but they were scared off by the police and nothing was secured. 4 QUIET WEDDING. About8 o'clock this morning at the residence of the bride, 3326 N (1st) street, the Rev. W. S. O. Thomas of the Gay Street Baptist Church united in marriage Mr. Robert E. Beckham and Miss Eva Oliver, both of this place. ‘The wed- ding was a very’quiet one, outy the immediate relatives and friends of’ the families being present. On the conclusion of the ceremony alr. and Mrs. Leckham left on an extended tour. A SAND BAB IN THE CANAL. Owing toa sand bar in the canal near dam No. 4 loaded boats have not been able to reach town yet. Several light or unloaded boats, though, have arrived, and this demonstrates the fact that the canal is covered with water throughout its entire length. The dredge is at work on the bar, and but afew days more will be required to’ remove it, and then coal- laden boats will come into town rapidly. NOTES. There was a small fire yesterday in the rear of house No. 3406 M street. The department was summoned, but on their arrival they found it of emall consequence and extinguished it with- out the aid of ihe engines.

Can you leave your many duties and talk about Washington? ‘You are not the oldest inhabitant by any means, but you are one of the most enterprising; and, having been here ever since the war, are able ‘to compare the former capital with the new.” “Compare? There's no comparison. It is the difference between an unkempt slattern and s besutifal woman arrayed in her best gown.” “Very likely. Washington must have been a Poor specimen of an overgrown country village in 1861. What was the population?” “Only 60,000, and it was governed by ne less than three different corporations. Washington city had its mayor, board of aldermen and common council; so also had Georgetown; and all of the District outside the corporate limite of those two cities was governed by the levy court, whose initials can still be seen upon some stone posts along the country roads. At that time Washington had lost the charming sim- licity and rustic features of a village without aving assumed the attractions and improve- ments of acity. Ithad grown somewhat, but its trousers were "e to its knees and its coat sleeves were out at the elbows. By the grace of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad it was fed and clothed by Baltimore; and in-all ite moral, social and intellectual development it was many Years behind the development of the nation it Should have represen’ ~The war of secession, I take it, necessarily revolutionized this state of affairs?” “Yes. The immense governmental expendi- tures here, the necessary incidents flowing from the continued presence of great armies in this immediate locality, the influx of intelligence, patriotism and courageous strength from the best thought of the north, infused new blood and nerve force into the dormant organization which had simply existed here. The ice rapidly broke up before the inconung tide. Every train of army wagons tha: fairly ground the unpaved strects out of the semblance of creative form opened the way for the drives that havi y of strong, young life that settled here nccessi- tated the growth.of municipal improvements, of homes, of school houses, of everything that goes to miake up the moral, ‘and intel- lectual development of the capital city of agreat a 2 ion.” ‘Was not the proper expression of this de- velopment restrained and hindered for a time by the non-progressive elements of the old moss-grown Washington life?” “Unquestionably. It required a Baron Hauss- mun to breuk those fetters, and Alexander I. Shepherd became the man ‘for the occasior Whatever may have then been said of the rude energy with which he broke through all the mere forms of restraining law and moved with forceful disregard of individual rights to the promotion of the general aud ultimate good of the community, it would be difficult to find the old citizen of Washington who will not now pay glad tribute to the power and intelligence with which he built up this city of mud, dust and shanties to be among the most beautiful cities in the world. Many of his most bitter enemies of those days would now gladly con- tribute to do him ‘honor. It is mect that it should be so. To few men comes the oppor- tunity of saving and recreating the capitai city of a repubiic of 60,000,000 of people. Fewer, men would have had the courage and power to’ seize upon and improve the opportunity.” “Tm glad you appreciate a long-abused man so thoroughly. Of course it has since taken great power, wise thought and liberal legisla- tion to build up the moral, social and intellec- tual features of the city whose phy. ote were vo boldly reformed by Shepherd. What do you think of its present government?” “In my opinion Washington stands today as the best governed municipality in this coun- try. Of course much remains to be done. Progress is a necessary incident to the life of the world. The tree that has ceased to grow, dies. The government, whether national or municipal, that does not advance, retrogrades. All must keep moving, either forward or back- ward, ° “What are the present necessities of our city, in your judgment?” “It would be a large contract to point out the necessities of a quarter of a million of pie, but one point may be hastily indica Aiuch has been done to invite rich people to Washington, but little has been undertaken to encourage the incoming of the class of medium wealth. Yet from the latter class come the strength und growth of any community.
