TOO MUCH LAND.

Nowhere is the American passion
for - spreading OUT displayed with
more unfortunate results than among
our own farmers. The nan who has
not capital and labor sufficient for Il
farm Of q hundred acres longs for Il
square nile-tiie poor farmer, just
beginning life with his " muscle as
his only capital, longs for A quarter
section, when forty acres constitute Il
most ample inheritance. w sigh for
broad acres when we can only cult
yatc square rods. In the West
and South, especially do we see this
insane passion for land. The South
erncr can not bear the idea of being
crowded. The Westerner on the
grea. prairies, with grain fields
bounded by section lines, signs for
more room. Now, what are the
practical results of this insane pas
sion for land? Simply poor larInin.
ami financial cmllarraSSmcnts. Up in
Massachusetts, from the Mcagrc little
patches of stony land, a few acres
that arc fenced iii along the railroad
tracks, IN cnterprising farmer will Of
ten make more clear money than
Jones makes from his hundred acres
of rich a%lluviai lands that arc planted
i'm cotton, or Smith, the Illinois far
mer makes from his quarter section
OF wheat. We plan greater than we
can build, and we plant more than we
can cultivate.
OF what avail are fertile soil,
genial climate, regular seasons, if VIC
cut out more work than we can per-
form! Why do our farmers, year by
year, pay interest and taxes on large
traces of land which they a not
use. The large farm, poorly worked
year after year, and ending in n mort
gage, is often the milestone about the
neck of the owner, dragging him down
to poverty and ruin. As the Factory
and Farm express it: " More far
mers are what we need, and not larger
farms. Do the work that is under
taken. Employ means that will take
ont of the soil the most from the few
est acres use every foot of ground
that you own, and be content to put
your profits out at savings and not
into more land that viii burden you
and put and end to gain.

DOUBLE MURDER-A WIFE MURDERED
BY f HUSBAND-THE HUSBAND
HUNG BY A MOB-A PROSTITUTE AT
THE BOTTOM OF 1T.

HUNTSVILLE, No, July 10 Staid
old Randolph has been visited by a
mob on Friday night. The wife of
John Green, living near Roanoke, was
killed by the discharge Of a gun in
Green's hand, ~accidently he claimed.
Her father had Green arrested and lie
was i'll charge of II constable awaiting
examination before Justice Mayo to-
day. Last night some fifty men came
from the direction OF Roanoke, How
ard county, took Green and hung him
to Il limb in sight of Silver Creek
Church, where the neighbOIs found
him this morning. 1t is charged that
Green's intimacy with another woman
caused him to murder his wife. They
leave exc helpless children.
Every MAJ engaged in that hing
ing is guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree, and if caught it will go hard
with them. The man deserved to suffer
the worst Of deaths there is doubt
about that but we have a law in this
State which must be respected. Mob
law must and will be nipped in the
bud or the State will be filed with a
band of lawless outlaws. This thing
must be stopped.

DEAR LEDGER:-Aftcr reading IN
article in the st. Louis Times OF 10th
ins =, i'll regard to Mr.. Greeley's TAX
ing off; the one thought that has oc-
cupied my mind in reference to his
connection with the party that, after
his becoming II candidate for TIC
presidency, ultimately repudiated
him, WAS brought still more clearly to
view, namely, that the people and
party with whom and for whose inter
est his time andtalents were employed,
did him Il great piece of injustice, in
that they misreprescnt him from one
end of New England to the other.
Men and Journals with whom he had
been Il co-worker i'll building up the
Republican party, at whose hands he
might have expected better things
not only voted against him, which
they had Il perfect right to do under
the law. bat let no place or opportu-
nifty slip to traducc, Willy and mis-
represent the man who, of all others,
their party owed for its very exist
encc; he il MAS, rs we might truth
fully say, stood Gol-tatllcr for it from
its infancy until it became II power i'll
the land. This man, Horace Gree
ley, was II Frcc-soil Republican and
Abolitionist when it required more
money and manhood to maintain an
organization of this sort, even within
the sacred precincts ot e EngIti's''
WHY, sir, il the doctrines OF Mr.,
Greeley i'll those times were true, th'
people W his memory a debt o
gratitude they can V repay; tia
he was Il good man, personally, n
one will doubt that he was a grca

The exhibitors at the Permanent
Philadelphia Exposition have finally
voted, after long discussion, upon the
question of having it opened on Sun
day, provided the machinery is stop
ped and no sales are made, and the
result was S35 yeas to 500 nays.
This will suit the general public of
Philadelphia, who cannot spare the
time from their work on week days to
look at the beautiful works of art on
exhibition; but it is not by an means
certain that a move will not be made
before a week has elapsed to reverse
the decision which has been made. 1t

to keep his mind made up rs 1t is to

arrest was timely. If it can he shown
that they were actually leaving the
burning building they ought to he
hung. Tramps have no right to leave
a burning building. Their escape is
unjust,tiable. II they cannot get al
honorable living, they might at least
give us a fine example of an honorable
dying. Let It's hope, for tllier own
good name, that it cannot be shown
that these tramps ever left the build.
