THE New York Times, the cham
pion of anti-monopoly principles in
New York fails to take stock in the
charge that Mr.. Conkling's defeat is
being sought by the railroads on
account of his anti-monopoly record,
1t says:
While we are no advocate of Mr.,
Depew's candidacy, it seems a tritle
ridiculous to find it assaulted from such
a quarter. Did Mr.. Conkling never
hold u brief for the Central railroad,
has he not made a very comfortable
income during the last six months out
of fees paid him by railroad monopo-
lists, and is he not now the retained
advocate of n paper-made corporation
created for the special purpose Of
making the people pay divi-
dends on stock which represents
nothing hut the greed of a handful of
speculators2 Where was Mr.. Conk-
link when the confirmation of Stanley
Matthews was at the mercy of a single
adverse vote, and what vote of his
in the senate can be recalled to show
that he is on the side of the people or
against the monopolists2 Is there a
prominent Conkling man in the legis-
lature who has been distinguished for
his advocacy of the railroad bills or Of
any of the measures introduced during
the last few years to restrain the power
of c~orporationsl The Conkling OBJ
~jections to Depew are simply an exhi-
bition Of hypocritical cant.

the decisions of courts in its own in
terest. We are now at a stage in the
contest where the people may vindi-
cate their authority and Place these
corporations under the regulation of
law"
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle (dem.),
in a recent editorial, said:
There is a pretty general feeling
that the Continent of America was
not discovered by Columbus, and civil
liberty established by the Fathers of
the Republic, to the end that fifty
millions of people might be made trlb-
utary to a band of railroad magnates,
or that farmers, artisans and mer-
chants might, by hand work and keen
competition raise up a dozen Narder-
bits, with each several hundred mil
lion of dollars. Those who entertain
this feeling have become persuaded
that the time has arrived for the in
dustrious masses of this country to
protect themselves, if they ever in
tend to do so. 1t will certainly not be
easier after the adversary has grown
stronger. In this contest every de-
lay is to the disadvantage of the peo-
pie. Let the issue be deferred
for a few years, and nothing u a
miracle or a revolution as violent as
that of France will overthrow the op.
preston. OF all misleading delusions
there is none more mischevious than
the notion that popular suffrage and
popular power are synonymous. Given
the means of bribing multitudes, OF
intimidating others, or wrecking OPP
ponents, coupled with actual posses
sion of the government, and adverse
sentiment must be paralyzed. If the
suffrage is to be our salvation, it must
be applied sharply while there are
still odds on the side of unbought and
unterrorized manhood"
A hundred columns might be filled
with similar expressions from news
papers published in all parts of the
country and now on file in the office
of the National Anti Monopoly League.
Comment is needless. The public
welfare is in danger, and the influence
of every patriotic citizen is invoked to
avert it.

John Roach's PECULIAR method for
controlling legislation is aptly illus
trated by the unique manner in which
he and his agents lobbied a subsidy
through the Sandwich Islands legis-
lature. Having bribed the majority
of members TO vote for the scheme,
One of the more shrewd of the Sand
witch statesmen proposed TO move a
reconsideration, when a burly black
smith proceeded TO thrash him for a
consideration on the floor of the as.
sembly, and in the excitement a
friend of the measure moved q sine
die adjournment, which prevailed, for
the members all wanted to see the
side show. So the subsidy was Sc
cured.

Terrible Cyclone.

PIERCE CITY, Mo-, June IA
cyclone struck the village of Swan
Star Springs, a small watering place
in Barry county, yesterday, and ami
hilated the place. A cloud burst, &C
companied by a wind storm, and con-
verted a little storm into a torrent
which washed away houses and prop
erty of all kinds. So far as
heard from no lives have been
lost, One family, a mother and five
children, Were swept down stream and
lodged III a clump Of bushes, to which
they chung for two hours, being finally
rescued by men, who with some diff
Guilty swam to them and carried them
to shore. Experiences of many other
families are similar and it is looked
upon as a miracle that some were not
killed outright or drowned.

WITHIN less than forty days the
principal throughfares of Omaha will
be supplied with pure Missouri river
water by the city waterworks com
pany. This constant supply of water
will enable lis to keep down the dust
provided the proper arrangements are
made for street sprinkling. 1t is a
matter of vital interest to our mer-
chants that the principal business
streets be sprinkled regularly during
the summer and fall. They must,
however, take action in this matter
at an early day if we are to desire any
advantage from our water
works. They must not de-
pend on the city council
for carrying on the work of street
sprinkling. We may at some future
time be able to raise n special fund for
street sprinkling by taxation, but such
a tax cannot be levied for the present
and the expense must be born by pri-
yate subscription. Heretofore the
greatest obstacle was the scant supply
of water and cost of hauling it from
distant points. This will no longer
be in the way. With MIGRANTS in
convenient places, and water always
on hand in any quantity, the expense
for carting will be materially reduced.
The four wheel s~prinkling carts
heretofore in use will, however, hard
ly answer the purpose now, A two
wheel cart with u round tank and large
sprinkling trough modelled after the
sprinkling carts in use at Chicago,
should be built and put in operation in
Omaha. 1t will take several weeks to
contruct half a dozen such carts, and
no time ought to be lost in raising the
necessary subscription-for this rea-
son.

AGRICULTURAL SUPREMACY

The census bureau has published a
statement showing the increase in all
cereal crops Of the United States from
1870 to 1880. In 1870 the entire
acreage was 20, 162, 900 acres in corn,
wheat, bcrley, rye, oats and buck
wheat. In 1880, 128, 865, $40 acres
are reported with an average yield per
acre fully as high as it was ten years
previous. Corn went up from 1884,
255, 600 to 1873, log, 51G bushels, an
increase of nearly zoo, 200, 900,
bushels. Wheat rose from 233, 1884,
600 in 1870 to 450, SOC, 600 in 1880,
an increase Of nearly 100 per cent.
These figures are suggestive not
only of the rapid development of
our country, but also of its boundless
agricultural resources. During ten
years our new acreage in grain and
corn amounted to 80, 703, $40 acres or
~S)fiOjiOl IlOIe Illdll JIlcIe lS ldllu III
all England and Wales. In corn
alone, our increased acreage is equal
to more than t%wo-thirds of the total
acres contained in England, and our
increase in wheat farming, 1G,500,O 900
acres, is five times the total wheat
acreage in England and Wales in
1880.
Such an exhibit may well cause
dependency and despair among Eng
lish farmers. 1t is only a beginning
of what American agr~iculturists can
do if put on their mettle. The entire
acreage of first class wheat land in the
United States amounts to more than
400, 900 acres. We have in addition
800, 600, 600 acres of excellent corn
land hat with ordinary cultivation
will yield forty bushels to the acre.
Should occasion demand we could in
a single year produce 10000, DOC, 900
bushels of corn and 1000, GOO, 900
bushels of wheat with a few hundred
millions of oats, rye and barley thrown
in to make good measure. These
figures are based on the
productive capacity of our agricultu-
raj lands under the present system of
cultivation. 1t need hardly be added
that with anything like the laborious
methods of foreign farmers in sub
soiling, draining, ~fertilizing and eco
nomic management of waste, the totals
would be vastly increased. Lands
now u~nproductive or yielding scanty
crops could be made to triple their
annual harvests.
The question of a market for these
enormous crops does not seem difficult
of solution. With the mighty emigra.
ton pouring into IL country, the
home demand must be vastly in
creased. The increase of transporta-
ton facilities will still further aid in
bringing the consumer and producer
nearer together, and our annual sur
plus will be readily disposed of, per-
haps at lower prices than now, to the
hungry millions of England and the
continent. No competition can stand
against our limitless resources, our
cheap lands and our certain seasons,
when to these are added industry,
economical agricultural methods and
ready means of laying our harvests at
the gates of the grain markets of the
world.
