convicted OF the killing of Willing
ham, we were met by a prominent
Republican at the LEDGER corner and
accosted as follows:
"We Republicans will soon carry
this county, when we convict a few
more Democrats of murder in the
first degree and hang them"
Now, we don't know whether Kill
gore is a Democrat or not, but should
Judge by his bush-whacking that he
was not, but we do know that four
prominent Republicans and their

NEW ENGLAND.
Its Agriculture. Corporations
and COmmumism.

There is little doubt that New Eng
land, with its boasted advantages, is
the least prosperous portion Of the
United States. New England is
troubled with the same prostration of
its agriculture that has thrown Great
Britain into a panic, and threatens to
upturn the theory Of land ownership
in the British Isles. Neither the bar
ren lands Of New England nor the
worn, out estates Of Old England, are
able to compete under their present
management in the production of
tood, with the fresh, cheap and fertile
lands OF the west; a condition of af-
fairs accompanied, as it is, in both
the old and new world, with loss of
demand for the products of machin-
cry, very likely to lead to the most
radical measures of relief.
Already the question of an arbitra-
ry change by government in the pro-
prietorship of real estate is being ex-
tensively agitated in Great Britain.
The most extraordinary thing con-
nected with this discussion is the al
most universal concession that the
government of that country has the
right to take land from one man and
give it to another for the sole purpose
of increasing the food production of
Great Britain. " .'
Similar theories have obtained in
other countries, notably in France, and
they are foreshadowed on this con-
tinent by the demand for land liml-
taton on the part of the abor-Green-
hackers. After century's trial of
land subdivision in France, however.
it has been proven that the produc
tion of small farms Is somewhet less
than that derived in other countries
from similar lands where capital has
conducted more elaborate and there
fore more costly system of agricul.
ture. On this account the aim in
England is not to divide land among
the landless, as is the evident object
OF communism in this country, but
to institute sweeping transfer of IL
from debt-strlcken and thritless
aristocracy to uneleumbered, enter
prising capitalists.
Such result, arising from the pre-
vailing agitation in Great Britain,
would be singularly distasteful TO all
in America except Republican but
in England nearly everybody is
willing to see ,ihe soil absorbed
and controlled by capitalists, because
the statistics of other countries show
that the maximum of production can
be reached and maintained in no
other way. '- .,.,-
New England has developed in her
industrial system to its fullest extent
the power of individual and com
bined capital, assisted by rings, leg
islation and incorporatlons, to pro-
mote the public welfare; and the

CRIME.

The amount Of crime perpetrated
is appalling. The newspapers from
one end of the country to the other
are filed with the details of it. Our
jailS and penitentiaries are crowded,
and still day after day room has to be
made in them for more and more
criminals. Pending the laws delays,
many are kept in prison that God
knows ought to have paid the forfeit
of their lives long ago. Many crimi-
mails too, Of the deepest dye constant
ly escape punishment Horse-thieves,
rain-wreckers, murderers and assas-
sins fatten in jails in hope of pardon,
or are impatiently watching chance
for escape. A tragedy recently occurr
cd near this city in which victim was
Unexpectedly hurried into eternity.
This, though more revolving than
those preceding, is only one among
the murders that have been perpe-
trated. 1t is quite certain that our
criminal laws either need to be re-
vised OF better enforced. Our youth
are growing up and becoming COR
rupted by the bad examples they con-
stantly witness, and our mature men,
unless our laws are enforced, will be
constantly more and more in danger.
Time has come when criminals must
be punished, or an inquiry will be
started into the causes of their escape.
