FARMERS CLUBS FOR WEST vIR-
GINA FARMERS.

We are SIiifed that a system Of co.
operative sales OF stock and agriculture
would be a good thing for most or all of
the counties OF West Virginia
The majority Of the counties Of our
state are sparsc'y populated and the re
are few occasions vi business character
to hiring the farming population to-
gc;Ecr. They have few opportunities to
leara each Others wants or to exchange
business propositions and thus quicken
trade between themselves.
The i3el on cooperative sales, or a
system Of town fairs on small scale,
originated in ENGLAND, where they are
still hell periodically in the market
towns Of all parts Of Great Britain. Tney
afford opportunity ior the farmers to
have a little frO,.c, tn become better &C.
QIaintei with each other, AMI especially
to 1iSHoseo;asuro,uso OF stock or produce
as we'll as 20 buy what they want, some
times at q bargain. Ii we'll conducted
they, il tjroc, become exceedingly pop
ular. They draw the whole population
of county together periodically; slim
ulate trade and enterprise; and greatly
benefit every class Of people.
The proper minner OF organizing
such institutions. is fora certain num-
Der Of farmers II form themselves into
club, and appoint an executive COM
mi;tec 10 carry out the purposes of the
club. The committee conduct the sales
AMI make rules for the management OF
the entire business of the association.
Taeexpcnse5 are borne by those who
Oder stock or articles Tor sale. 4 small
commission is charged upon the sales,
which, although very small tax on any
one person, viii amount in the course
OF time, TO a snug little income to the
club, by which tacy can provide for ex-
tending the conyenieuces and attrsc-
tons of the institution.
We believe that such clubs would be
the means OF greatly Senefiting the
counties of the State; OF bringing
strangers into them; OF introducing and
fostering better breeds OF stock; and in
many ways improving the condition of
our farming population.

A TAaIYY sYsTrM yoa STATES.

Mr.. MoFFKrr's idea OF abollshing 81.
rect taxation and establishing
kind Of tariff system for the State,
something similar to that employ
Ell by the National Government
for raising revenue, is q very novel one,
to say the least, and as he has simply
introduced it in the form OF resolution
OF inquiry, without any detailed pian'
We are left only to conjecture what such
plan might include. Itopens too large
field for speculation and possible e1per-
iment for Us to attempt to anticipate how
4 scheme OF this kind might be applied
to aState. We are not separated, as
State, from other States, as the Nation
is from other Nations, by great body
OF water, so as to establish a system OF
customs upon all importations that could
be easily or effectively enforced. We do
not know, however, that this is contem-
plated. The main idea, We suppose, Is
to get rid OF a direct tax on the real
and personal property of a State, and
then to impose 4 tariff opon such
industries or such business trans
actions IS would result in
directly in the imposition OF a
general tax upon all classes OF the peo-
pie. 1t would require some exercise OF
craftsmanship to make it equal and
uniform" as the Constitution requires,
but that is not, probably, an impossl'
bility. A proposition was recently in
troduced in the Legislature OF llllnels
TO raise all the revenue necessary for
the State from the railroad and express
companies. An investigation disclosed
the fact that tax Of 5 per cent on the
gross receipts OF the raj, Dads OF that
State would give the State al
the revenue it needed, and absclve all
other property trcin any taxation. This
would be very comfortable condition
for the body OF the people, but the rail-
road companies would rot rest very
easy under it. There are many consid'
erations which make it desirable to re-
lieve all the property Of State from di'
rect taxation, but no other scheme has
vet been devised that is more Just and
equitable. The property OF State de-
mands protection. and pays for it by
taxation. This is the theory upon which
all taxation proceeds. We think il
might he shown, however, that proper
ty is paying more than It's proportion
among the various interests appertain
ing to organized society.

Mr.. Edison has received information
from Detroit, Michigan, to the effect
that the common council of that city has
passed an ordinance granting him free
right OF way in the streets OF Detroit for
laying electric light wires. Mr.. Edison
says he is getting similar advices from
other cities, but is making no progress
with the New York Board OF Aldermen.
The well known correspondent Gath,
giving an account Of visit to Kenlo
Park, confirms the statement that Mr..
EDIsoS had closed his experiments there
and 70 his own satisfaction. Among
other things given is the following:
Mr.. Edison SAID, in speaking of the
Brush and other lights: There IS plenty
OF field for them. We don't aspire TO

NEW HOPE AND BUCKS COUNTY, PA.

The Rev. Amos johnson, Of Phila., is
expected to deliver lecture in the New Hope
NJ. e. Church on Thanksgiving evening. The
subject will be "The life and character of
James A. Garfield"
--Rev.,S 8. b. Best preached a very interest
ing sermon to the children on last Sunday
evening from the text :" Sow in the morn thy
seed" The sermon was plain aud the chill
dren were very attentive and highly pleased.
Prof. JAS. G.. Clark gave an entertain
ment of sacred song, in the Lecture Room of
the NJ. e. Church, on Monday evening, which
was enjoyed by quite a large audience. About
$25 were taken in, half of which went for the
Mrs. Joseph Vert of New Hope, had
her foot broken on last Tuesday morning
week. An empty spool had been dropped on
the stair and as she stepped on it, her foot slip
ped and she came down seven steps feet fore
most, the right foot being bent under, striking
each step in her descent. Mrs. Vert seems
to be unfortunate. She has had the same
limb crippled for more than a year, and was
compelled to use crutches but for the last few
months had been able to dispense with them,
until this unlucky accident, which has again
deprived her Of the use of it.
We notice The Beacon has comment
headed "Wise beyond what is written" and
says of the question asked In regard to the
donkey being head aud tail of the New Hope
column in The Beacon, that the idea was bor-
he at,A ;o trtd
question" We suppose it does look ridicu-
ous, for it infers that person could not tell
a donkey when lie sees one. We think we stated
plainly that the Monitor was our authority for
the statement and as for the reporter Of The
Beacon making charitable allowances for us,
ask any favors whatever from that source
and he or she y need have no fear Of our
ever borrowing either wit or anything smart
from their columns, for it could be obtained
somewhere else before THE Beacon copies it.
We do not profess to be SO very "wise,' and
If we misquote, we generally try to report
truth not get bit of Dows and then manu-
facture the rest ourselves. We think some
one else was "wise beyond what is written"
when he stated that a lady fell down stairs
headlong on Friday, when tho accident did
not happen until the Tuesday following-three
days after the time The Beacon mentions.
We hope, as our friend is so fond of the die
tionary, he may get still g wiser y every day.
We think it is very commendable thing for
persons to try to improve, and we thank our
friend for the timely hint.
