A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man has expressed the came of the trouble
among farmers in the West in the half dozen
lines we quote below:
The West is wheating itself poor, because we
have not grown enough cattle; because our
money lenders ask too high a rate of interest
for US to afford to stock up on borrowed capi-
ttal and because we are all more less In
debt, and must look to the wheat crop. as that
will bring us the most speedy return for our
labor.
The rate of interest banks and brokers have
charged farmers has caused more distress,
from the far East to the remote borders OF
Western civilization, among the agricultural
class, than all other causes combined. In
judicious borrowing has desolated thousands
of homes and transferred millions of dollars
from the hands which earned them with
slow toll and sweat to the Golfers Of sheriff.

Some OF the newspapers mention as q
very remarkable circumstance that George

Marian Evans, so far as her social relations
are concerned. 1t ought to be well known
to persons at all acquainted with, or inter

never Mrs. Lewes, except by courtesy. Her
friends preferred to call her so because il
was more convenient. inasmuch as it saved
inquiry or comment. The unhappy history
of George Henry Lewes' marriage has been
repeatedly told His wife ran away with
another man, and her husband, with lofty
and chivalrous spirit, forgave her
when she had returned aud expressed
the deepest contrition. But she ran
away a second time, and then he
could not obtain divorce in the courts be-
cause he had once condoned her offense.
After that Marian Evans and he formed
their close, intellectual friendship. which
was more like Platonic love than any re-
lation between man and woman having no
tie of blood can ordinarily be. For their
own mental and spiritual needs, and aftsr
consultation with their nearest friends, some
of the best and most gifted people in Eng
land, they decided to live under the same
roof, and brave conventionality. They
would have been legally married bad Mrs.
Lewes had the goodness to die. But she
lived, and still lives. Consequently, Mari
ma Evans could not have been George Henry
Lewes' wife without becoming responsible
for bigamy. She has always been rightly
