As = local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne competitor. = = The average man will, on the slightest provo- cation, declare his ability to run a farm as no} farm was ever run before and will imagine | Dimeelf insulted should there be any intimation | as to the possibility of his becoming an agri- cultural failure, and yet it is true beyond con- | troversy that the great need of this country isa | sufficiency of good farmers. We have more| than enough of that borny-handed class that | sows while loafing around the blacksmith shop and grocery store and reaps either in the poor- | house or the legislature, but there is lack of | those who know how to apply business princi- ples to what Xenophon said “for an honorable and high-minded man is the best of all occupa- tions or arts by which men procure the means of living.” With this situation confront- | ing us, and with the complications necessar- ily consequent upon immigrative growth, more than a little interest is being taken in ex-Secre- | tary Rusk’s contribution to the March num-| ber of the North American Review on “Amer- | ican Farming a Hundred Years Hence.” Start- | ing out with the proposition that the age of | steam and electricity, of speculation and mo- | nopolies, with opportunities for the accumula- | tion of wealth never before dreamed of, has | drawn much of the brainy among young Ameri- | ean manhood from the farms to the cities,and that their places have been taken by foreigners, the Secretary proceeds to argue that conditions will not become aggravated, statisticians to the con- trary notwithstanding. It has been figured out that within a hundred years this country will have a population of not less than four hundred | millions, Gen. Rusk says that the chances are against any such increase because there will be bat few inducements to offer immigrants, while at the same time the liberal tendencies of other governments will lessen the number of | those who leave the older countries for the sake of greater political freedom. The farming of the future, thinks the Secretary, will be directed by superior intellect. ‘The exigencies of farm | * says he, “‘will tax all the brain power and business qualifications of a man whose life work will demand a better education, in the scientific branches at least, than that of the merchant or the banker, or even the lawyer. The man who farms a large farm successfully in 1993 must be euch a man as would be successful in any career. whether professional or mercantile, and who, like the merchant or manufacturer, must com- mand some capital, and be capable of utilizing profitably the labor of his fellows.” The intel- lectually “poor” farmers will own their homes da few acres of land, but must depend principally for support upon wages earned by laboring for others. The average size of farms will be consijerably less than now and as & result the rural population will concentrate. Good roads are to succeed the miserable high- we of today, rapid electric transit will be within easy reach, every farm house will have its telephone, and msil will be delivered daily ‘The residents in the country will be as cultured as those in the cities and city men will labor to become rich only that they may spend their im the more healthfal country at- | mosphere. Perhaps Gen. Rusk’s spectacles are a trifle rose-tinted, but his prophecies are rea- sonable. It is unfortunate that he wili not then be Secretary of Agriculture, for the reward would bea fitting one. a People who lack utterly the prophetic in- stinct have no difficulty in seeing that if the plans of the base bail “magnates” work satisfac- torily this season the credit side of the “mag- nates”’ bank accounts will be overcrowded. falaries of players have very properly been cut down to reasonable figures and unless there is reduction in the price of admission the profits will probably be very large. Looking at the ‘matter from the popular standpoint Tur Stax inclines to the opinion that all of the benefits to be derived from the salary cutting should not be absorbed by the management, but that the public, which in Washing- ton has paid out so many dollars to witness imitation base ball, should share in| the good times which are supposed to be com- ing. Decreased prices would not be unpopular nor would they be unfair to the capitalists. It wonld not be asking too much to request more intelligent activity in hustling for players who will do credit to this enthu-iastic base ball town. Then why may not the accommodations be improved? Would it cost too much to put | Bp 8 sufficientawning over those unplaned | strips of lumber known to the initiated as “bleaching boards"? In all the schemes fer reforming the national game there are no propo- sitions that have for their object an increase in ‘the material comfort of spectators: why may not the local management make a movement in that direction? Of course some people would | be startled, but many would be gratified. Another man has just reached the topmost round of the ladder upon which he started to climb some forty-five years ago. Gen. Thomas J. Eckert, who commenced to play with a tele- graph key in 1848, is now president of one of | the greatest corporations in existence—the | Western Union Telegraph Company. During the war period Gen. Eckert was well known in this city. being then prominent in governmental | telegraphy, first as captain, then as major, next ‘As aeistant secretary of war and finally as brign- | dier general. Sometimes it is bard struggling, | but intelligent and conscientious endeavor is | Rot often defeated. | +2 ‘Columbas, Indiana, has a grand jury that has | made aspectacie of it by indicting church mem- | bers for playing progressive enchre. It should | be deprived of a name that is so thoroughly | associated with civilization and progress in hib- | eral thought. +o ‘That was an unkind statement sent out by a Washington correspondent to a Chicago paper | to the effect that men who drink whisky will | Rot be appointed to office under this adminis- | tration. Many s shouter lost heart when he Read that announcement — —< A benithy appearing rumor has it that Post- ‘master General Lissell will not appoint business | ing this action comes the announcement that twenty or more of the regiment's officers either have resigned or are about todoso. Nowevery one of these officers may be satisfied that Gen. Brown is wrong and Col, Boykin right, but they do the state, which they have sworn to serve, Great injustice, and forfeit their title to the possession of that true soldierly quality which should control every bearer of a commis- sion to serve with the colors. If they were in the National Guard merely as friends of Col. Boykin then their connection with the militia has been wholly fraudulent; if they wore the uniform because they believed in the guard and its work considerations of friendship for a fel- low-officer whom they believe to have been mis- used ought not to impel them to action which imperils the existence of a regiment in which Maryland has always taken much pride. There is reason for Col. Boykin’s resignation, but the obligation each officer took and a knowledge of the state's dependence upon its troops should prevent the practical destruction of so fine a command as that which is now threatened by | those who were supposed to be its friends. oo While some of the multi-millionaires are causing social reformers much trouble others are doing a little reform work on their own ac- count. A shining example just now is Philip D. Armour, whose generosity has often been apparent, but which is now more than ever conspicuous because of the nearing completion of the Armour Institute of Chicago. More than three millions of dollars have been invested in the building and its equipment, but the profits in the shape of advanced civilization and higher citizenship will be enormous. Chicago has long had need of such a comprehensive school— modeled on the lines of the Drexel Institute of Philadelphia, or the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn— but until Mr. Armour took up the idea nobody did much but theorize. Headed by Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus—one of the best and brainiest of Chicago's men—there is a faculty of nineteen gifted men and women who will devote them- selves to training the practically-inclined youth of both sexes. The effort is a noble one, worthy of all commendation. eee The course of time in no way affects the Panama canal’s right to be known as one of the most gigantic “pork barrel” enterprises on record. —___ e+ A leading light is removed from the ranks of the unprovided-for by the appointment of Isaac Pusey Gray. er ‘The clover is there, but Mr. Cleveland is dis- posed to be deliberate about letting down the bars. —_+ eo ____.
