His Present Economic»Condition and Future Prospects.” At the outset Prof. James said that the condition of the farming class is at present exeiting keen attention in nearly every civilized country. ities and economict of the United State: land, 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- Laps even mor: rly than now; but never before have they arisen in such acute shape in all these countries at once. The farmer ques- tion, therefore, it would seem, 1 no longer a local question, no longer confined to the United States, but is world-wide in its import- ance and must be considered, tu some extent, in its international aspects. There 18 no question now before the Ameri- can people more interesting in its economic and political aspects than this one of the farmor and his relation to other classes in the community. The remarkable phenomena oc- curring in connection with the Farmers’ Alli- ce movement show at once how deeply the iron has entered into the soul of the American farmer and how thoroughly he hus become aware that for some reason or other he is not heeping pace in bis material, intellectual and sock] progress with other classes in the com- munity. MOW IT LOOKS TO THE FARMER. It is not surprising that in this awakening he shonld not ut first perceive thé true source of his illx, and that he should attribute many of the disadvantages under which be 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 governmentithe 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 an économie or political point of view by be- littling or deriding the views of western farm- erson the money question, on the tariff, on the railroad policy, on taxation and other sim lar topics. The American farmer bas a gri 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 justified and whether it can be remedied, and if so, by what means. ‘Asa matter of fact, the wealth of the United States is flowing away from its farms into its factories and railroads; from the country into the city; from the rural into the urban districts. change of cast, Mr. Murray appearing ay the Marquis, Mr. Bigelow as ‘Miser and Miss Lane as Serpoleile.

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 as 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 unsuccessful it was the first distinct step ina 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 im the Lroadest sense, as including 3 of monetary transactions built up by the com- bination of governmental action and private initiative,discriminates very directly and keenly against 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 eaid 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, buf I do not believe that any one who has taken pains to study other tariffs willclaim that the farmers, as a class, have bad such immediate influence in 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 one. 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 points—at some of them fundamentally. The system 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. THE 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 because he is trying to compete with farmers of a low grade of intelligence and civilization in the production of crops where intelligenca and civilization count for comparatively little. The Russian peasant, the Indian ryot, the South African boor can raise wheat at such rates as will surely crush the American farmer who relies on competing in the London market. Every year sees new stretches of territory opened up and brought nearer to London, which are quite as good as Dukota or Montana. The whole southern hemisphere will shortly be made accessible and every territory that can is rushing 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 juxtap market, and where having once established himseli he may bid defiance to the ignorance and inefiiciency of foreign peasant, ryot or boor. ‘This calls for a broad and liberal policy toward agriculture in all 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 cultura! schools, agricultural experiment s| tions, agricultural fairs and exposition word for all those various means by which ag: cultural science and art may be eatended and made more efficient. If our farmers’ alliances, &rangers’ associations, horny-handed sons of toil conventions, &e., &c., would, with all their getting, get understanding, would, ufter 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 mai- ter, viz., remedy the indolenice, ignorance,con- servatism of thre farming classes themselves in all that pertains to agriculture, no American could have cause to regret eveu the wildest Jubrications of the fiat-money anti-corporation demagogue. ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGISTS. The Society Closed Its Annual Session Yes- terday—Omicers Elected. The Society of Economic Entomologists closed its annual session yesterday after a suc- cessful meeting of two days. Officers were elected as follows: Dr. J. A. Lintner, state entomologist of New York, president Prof. S. A. Forbes, state entomologist of 1 nois, first vice president; J. H. Comstock, pro- fessor of entomology in Cornell University, second vice president, 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, Washington, D.C., and Miss M. E. -Murtfeld, Missouri. The paper which was read yesterday, as stated in Tux Sran, by Prof. C. V. Kiley on “Government Work versus tho Patent Ottice” was based ona patent recently obtained by three parties in California for the treatment of trees by hydrocyanic acid gas for the destruc- tion of scale insects and other insects that i juriously affect them. Prof. Riley reviewed at length the efforts of the department in this line of investigation, and showed conclusively that this gas treatment had originated with and Deen 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 Prof. Riley's direction; that no sooner had the treatment come to be recognized as of the greatest utility and perfected #0 that it was cheap and available to all needing to use it vo atm, 130 and 3:15 pm.

So val- uable is this treatment considered that an effort has been made in southern California to sub- scribe the sum of $10,000 to buy the right from the patentees. Prof. Riley remarked that he had no hesitation in advising the orange gro no instance that I now recall have the patentees, under like circumstances, been able to enforce their claimé in the courts. In point of fact the patent is invalid and the certificate js not ut a piece of paper carrying no evidence priority of invention, and it is greatly to be re- gretted that, through whatever legal techni- cality or laxity in the patent office, it should ever have been granted. ° Prof. Kiley mentioned other cases of this kind where, after years of labor and large ex- penditure on the part of the Department of Agriculture, valuable results had been ob- tained. In some cases they took the torm of mechanisms, which were described and figured in the otticial reports. 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- dividuals to appropriate the results of which the foregoing case isan example. I have been engaged now for nearly a quarter of a century either as 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 resuited in some important discoveries of universal application, and 1 can say with pride that, though ' often urged to tuke personal advantage of such dis- coveries, I have in no single instance accepted 8 fee for information given or received a dollar from any application of these discoveries, even where others have reaped fortunes. Asa sala- ried oficer 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 has been contested by private parties or else means have been taken by private individuais to control through patent or otherwise the discoverics for their personal ends. It seems to me that on this account the patent office should be extremely caretul 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 courve will tend to pervert, discourage and neutralize ail honest effort made by other de- partments of the goverument tor the public Boo. PROF. RIL ‘3 RECEPTION. A Large Number of Prominent Scientific Visitors joy His Hospitality. About a hundred of the promincnt scientific visitors to Washington availed themselves of Prof. C. V. Riley's invitation to meet the Asso- ciation of Economic Entomologists at an infor- mal 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.

The enlarged executive committee of the N. A. A. O. met at 10 o'clock this morning at Wil- Jard’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 2424.67. ‘THE CONSTITUTION To BE PRINTED. Arresolution 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- siring to become members. On motion of Mr. Stimpson it was ordered that the secretary compile a directory contain- ing the names of the captains of association clubs, and that members of the committee pre- pare local directories of all clubs in their own Vieinities, Mr. Van Raden spoke for some time about the action taken by the committee on Monday in debarring Hawkins trom participation in’ the regatta. He thought that the committee had been too hasty and urged that the man beallowed to row in the finals today under protest. Commodore Mullin and Mr. Garfield defended the action of the committee and the matter went over without action being taken. The caso will be considered at the October meeting of the committee. On motion of Mr. Van Ttaden 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 tl ‘The committee then adjourned to meet the second Saturday in October at the Gilsey House in New York. SS as 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 a pet spaniel, which was in the base- ment. An instantlater a lower door was struck three or iour sharp, quick blows, presumably with an ax, and then all was silent. Securing a double-barreled shotgun Mr. Rodgers tip- toed his way in the direction of the sounds, with a brave determination to exterminate the cause of those blows. But Mr. Rodgers’ mother had been aroused by the sounds, and just as the gunner reached the lower door she mnostali 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 Darrels 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 badly, but he did not tarry to bind up his wound. The neighborhood Lad 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. A QUIET WEDDING. About8 o'clock this morning at theresidence of the bride, 9326 N (1st) street, the Rev. W: 8. 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, only the immedinte relatives and ‘fricnds of the families beng present. On the conclusion of the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Leckham left on an extended tour. A BAND BAR 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.

From Kate Field's Washington. “Hallo, Col. A. T. Britton! 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 ands beautiful woman arrayed in her best on “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 no less than three different corporations. Washington city had its mayor, board of aldermen and #0 also had Georgetown; and all of the District outside the corporate limits of those two cities was by the levy court, whose initials can still be seen upon some stone’ posts along the country roads. At that time Washington bad lost the charming sim- licity and rustic features of a village without ving assumed the attractions and improve- ments of acity. Ithad grown somewhat, but its trousers were up 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 Baitimore; and in all its moral, social and intellectual development it was many Years behind the development of the nation it should have represented.” “The war of secession, I take it, necesearily revolutionized this state of affairs?* “Yes. The immense governmental expendi- tureshere, 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 est thought of the north, infused new Llood and nerve force into the dormant organization which had simply existed here. The ice rapidly broke up before the incoming tide. Every train of army wagons that fairly ground the unpaved strects out of the semblance of creative form opened the way for the beautiful carriage drives that have snecceded them. Everybody of strong, young life that settled here nécoss tated the growth of municipal improvements, of homes, of school houses, of everything that goes to make up the moral, social and intel- Jectual development of the capital city ofa great nation.” “Was not the proper expression of this de- velopment restrained and hindered for a time by the non-progressive elements of old moss-grown Washington life?” “Unquestionably. It required a Baron Hauss- man to break those fetters, and Alexander R. Shepherd became the man ‘for the occasion. 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 gencral and ultimate good of the community, it would be difticult to'find the old citizen of’ Washington who will not now pay glad tribute to the power and intelligencé 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 tribute to do him ‘honor. It is meet that it should be so. To few men comes the oppor- tunity of saving and recreating the capital city of a republic of 60,000,000 of people. Fewer men would ave hud tlic courage aud power to seize upon and improve the opportunity “Lim giad you appreciate a long-abused man so thoroughly. Of course it bus since taken great power, wise thought and liberal legisla tion to build up the moral, social and intelle tual features of the city whose physical asj were so boldly reformed by Shepherd. do you think of its present government! “In my opinion Washington stands today as the best’ governed municipality in this coun- try.

Yet from the latter class come the strength and growth of any community. The board of trade and other representative organ- izations of this District should, by caretully prepared editorial matter published in the press of the entire country, by properly written correspoudence, by well circulated statistics in the form of pamphlets, circulars and other- wise, make known to the grent body of Amer- ican'citizens in ordinary lite and station that Washington is not only one of the best gov- erned, most healthful and pleasantest places of residence, but that it is also one of the cheap- est.” —__ While aad in the Red river at Grand Forl Rev.

It grew very fast, and about the last of Dagember it became so painful and was very disfiguring, and I had tried everything that I knew, butall to no effect. My face grew worse instead of better.
