THE ANTI-RENT TROUBLES.

A REAIINIsCENCE OF AULD LANG SYNE-
DEATH OF A FAMOUS ANTI-RENTER.
The violent death of Calvin Finkle, says
the New York Herald, better known, per-
haps, as "Big Thunder" from his long con-
nection with the anti-rent troubles of this
State, recalls the period of disturbance on
account of the almost feudal tenures
of the PATRONS. Though the land
tenures, copied from those of England
and Holland, had been abolished
by act of the legislature, many of the lords
of the old manors had continued a form OF
deed by which their former vassels became
their tenants on terms precisely similar to
those abrogated by the laws of the State.
The rents and services under these deeds
were accorded to the descendants of the
PATRONS till 1899, when associations were
formed to devise means for getting rid of
the burdens. The opposition to manorial
rents soon came to be disturbing ele-
ment in politics, and deeds of blood. not
dissimilar TO that which Finkle lost his life
on Saturday, were committed in number
OF places. Governor Seward discussed the
question in his message in 1912, and COM
mission 10 settle the difficulties was APP
pointed, but it failed to accomplish anything.
The disturbances grew more frequent as
time elapsed, and in 1915 Gov. Wright was
W locuO ucCldIlue
Delaware county in a state of insurrection.
So strong was the feeling against him on
this account That the next year, when he
was a candidate for reelection, he was de-
feated by over ten thousand majority by
John Young, whom the anti-renters had
nominated. In 1916 the question came be-
fore the constitutional convention, and a
provision was adopted making twelve
years the limit of all agricultural leases.
/ After this the excitement died away,
little trouble that it is only an event like the
death of Finkle which recalls the disturb
ances between 1899 and 1S47. Big Thun-
der" was famous in his day as the leader in
resisting the claims of the Van Rensselaer,
estate, and his fate, so terribly provoked by
himself, wiN.be heard with regret by many

For our bare world and bleak

THE NEW YORK HERALD.
ITS INCoME-A STUDY OF FIGURES


The New York correspondent of the Buff
falo Commercial has been reckoning up the
Herald's income: A few days ago had the
curiosity to 60 over a Sunday issue of the
Herald and reckon up the advertisements
and the amount of cash represented by
them. Those appearing under the head of
houses and rooms wanted and to let occu-
pied nine columns, and cost the advertisers
about $3.50. Board and lodging came
next, taking up nearly eight col
umns, and costing about $500. Real estate
occupied five and-a half columns, and rep
resented $500. The dry goods houses sent
in the same amount of matter and paid the
same amount of money. The wants" de-
partment occupied nearly eight columns
and brought in about $500. The Herald
charges less for advertisements under this
head than for any other. Theatrical and
musical announcements filled four columns,
representing $500; financial notices nearly
three columns and 5000; instructions
two and a half columns and nearly the
same amount; railroads and shipping
S1S5; horses and carriages two columns
and $3.50; auction and miscellaneous sales
the same; death notices, 500; religious no.
tees, about $50; and the various advertise
ments not easily classified, about $500. The
whole receipts for advertisements in this
one issue Of the Herald amount to about
1000, witn perhaps few hundred over.
teen examined the Times of the same date.
and found Il columns of advertisements,
representing about $3.50. The Jisproportion
between space and receipts is accounted for
by the fact that the advertising rates of the
Times are much lower than those of the
Herald. The Herald took in over 81, 900 tor
about 63 columns, and the Times $3.50 for
one-third the same space.

Yet. DER the gulf of wreck and pain,
How softly strange there rose again,
AGAINST the darkness dimly seen,
Another face, another queen,
The Maiden Mother, IN whose eyes
The smile of God reflected lies;
Who saw around her gracious feet
The maddening waves OF warfare meet,
Aud stretching forth her fingers fair
Upon the hushed and wondering air
Shed round her, for mans yearning sight,
A space Of splendOr in the night.
Are her sweet feet not stayed?
Nay, she is also gone, the Mother-ma1d;
Aud with her all the gracious company
That made IL hope to live, and joy to die.
The Lord is from the altar gone,
His golden lamp in dust o'erthrown,
The pealing organs ancient voice
Hath wandered 10 an empty nolSei
And sill the angel heads and purple wings are
down.

The occasion is one of great interest
to us, TO our city, our State and our
country. We have met together once
more to feel that the great Dem ocratic
principles of our Government are re.
cognizej throughout the country. Re-
cent elections bring wildly TO our
mind the condition of our country
twenty years ago. when the Democratic
party was in The full tide Of successful
experiment; when our Government
was ably governed by men of character
and integrity.
We are happy to meet you on this &C.
casion. TO join with us In celebrating
this return to the great principles, and
we are satisfied before another Presi
dental election shall have passed, we
shall not only be recognized in the
States, but in the Presidential chair by
Democrats Of virtue and ability.
