chinery nearly doubled between 1850 and
| 1870, and during the last ten years the in
crease has undoubtedly been very great,
though how much 1t Is tho Census Bureau
does not yet tell us. Between 1910 and 1870
the value Of orchard products multiplied
nearly nine times, and Mr.. REYNOLDS Is Of
the opinion that the increase during the last
decade was two or three millions OF dollars.
Moreover, it is to be remembered that the
census gives returns for the non-bcaring
year of apples, the bearing year being the
even one, when the yield Is from four to ten
times that of the odd year.
Between 1860 and 1870 the value OF the live
stock Increased 65 per cent, and during the
last ten years there must have been n large
gain, though Mr.. REYNOLDS is OF the opinion
that the increase in value has been more in
the way OF improved breeds than in num-
beers. And. despite the multiplication of
products since tho earlier year, more wheat
was grown in 1880 than in 1870 The increase
was largely the result of improved methods
OF culture. The yield Of corn has nearly
trebled since 1910; that of oats has increased
$50 per cent, and that OF barley 500 per cent.
The value of dairy products was about two
nd half million dollars in 1910, against
nearly twenty million in 1870. The value of
nursery products was trifling in 1S4O Now
1t is several millions of dollars.
This prosperity has occurred in spite Of a
constantly growing Western competition,
and has been won because the farmers were
wise enough to readily adapt themselves TO
the necessities Of their changing situation.
Mr.. ATKINSON calls the attention of English
economists TO the facts presented by his cor
respondent. The area Of England and Wales
is $500 square miles, while that OF New
York is 1900 square miles, The diversitics
OF soil and climate, in their effect upon agri-
culture, would not greatly differ, and, more
over, the competition Of the West was felt in
New York earlier, more severely, and more
suddenly than in England. Yet the adjust
ment to the new conditions, he argues has
been made without any severe strain to the
body polite, and without any grave disaster
to individuals. But, after all, the COMPARE
son seems rather forced.

THE TROUBLED MAJORITY.
The Republicans Anxiously Looking at their
Work-.Jny Hubben Said to he Spending
Too Much for Robson and Keller.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Sot q few members
OF the Republican camp are far from happy when
they open their eyes to the way theirgparty
Frye and Hale. with the approaching Maine
election on their hands. are uncomfortable.
They say that il the State Is carried and a
Senator is not lost. it will DO on account Of the
division OF the enemy.
Malone Is moro than dissatisfied. He wanted
tobacco as nearly free as he could get it to
carry two or three Congressional districts. In
Virginia. where they are all statesmen-the
greatest being the colored brother-the idea
once abroad that the Republicans proposed to
free tho banks and perfumers from taxes.
while tobacco and whiskey remain heavily
burdened, will work mischief.
The case is the same with Republican Repre-
scntatvcs who will have TO take their chances
in close districts. 1t is dawning on several that
they are going to have q hard road to travel.
Very few are jollyl
Nor is this the only cause OF i'll feeling. The
suspicion is gaining ground that My Dear
Hubbell' Is not spending the two per cent. col
lections rs he should; that too much money Is
going to help the denomination OF Robson and
Keller. As distinct fact. It may DO said very
few Republicans outside OF the Treasury raid
ers want to see either Of those gentlemen re-
turned. The report that Hubbell is using the

titled, examined, appointed, commissioned,
and sworn as poll clerks In and for each cleo
ton district In the city and county Of New
York"
Thus the Police Board may under the law,
any day after and including the first day Of
August, appoint all inspectors of election and
poll clerks for this years election. Commits
sioner MATTHEwss leave of absence extends
until the first Of September. His return Is
not expected before the first or second week
Of that month. The Republican inspectors
and poll clerks are manned solely" by the
Republican Commissioners, FRENCH and MA
SON. The Democratic inspectors and poll
clerks are selected and appointed by the en-
tire Board, which, in the absence Of Mr.. MAT
THEws, consists of two Republicans FRENCH
and MASON, and one Tammany Democrat
NICHOLS.
The panic-stricken County Democratic
leaders are disposed to believe that Mr.
MATTHEWS, whom they regard as unfaithful
to their cause, Is consenting party to the
alleged arrangement, and has abscnted him
self to avoid the pressure that would be
brought to bear on him by the County De-
mocracy to prevent any unfair division Of
the Democratic inspectors. Some OF them,
however, are unwilling to admit that tho
County Democrats are to be wholly ignored in
the appointments. The most hopeful expect
that the County Democrats will get onc-third
of the inspectors, and Tammany and Irving
Hall one-third each. The most probable di
vision is that the Tammany Democrats will
get one-half the inspectors and poll clerks,
giving them a representation in each dis
trict, and, with the Republicans, majority
in each Board; and that the remaining half
will be divided equally between the County
Democrats and Irving Hall. This will leave
the County Democrats without any inspector
in Onchalf the districts in the city, and with
out poll clerk in three-fourths Of the dis
tricts. 1t is alleged that Irving Hall is ready
to accept this division.
In view of these rumors great pressure has
been brought to bear on Mayor GRACE, since
Mr.. MATThEws's departure, to induce him to
declare the absent Commissioner place va
cant by abandonment and to appoint success
sor. The Mayor would doubtless have adopt
cd this course il he could have found any
warrant for ii in the law. A strict examine
ton OF the statutes satisfies him that he has
no such power He makes no secret OF his
disapprobation Of Mr.. MATTHEW'S action in
leaving the Police Board in uncontrolled pos
session of the Republican and Tammany
Commissioners; but he finds himself power
less in the matter. The only protection avail
able to the County Democrats seems to be in
the courts. The law so plainly contemplates
fair political division Of the inspectors Of
election and poll clerks, that it is believed the
courts would not hesitate to enioin the Board
of Police from appointing such officers in the
absence OF the only representative Of the
regular Democratic organization on that
Board.

We have received from Messrs. II. p.
SAMPLERS & Co.. proprietors OF the Cbuyr.ier des
Etdts Unis. q statement in reply to the pastoral
letter OF Archbishop TAsoHEREAu Of Quebec
condemning the Courier and prohibiting his
people from reading it, for the alleged reason
that it has published novels which should not
be read In the family. Against this condemna-
tion Messrs. SAMPLERS h Co. vigorously protest.
The Courier DIES Flats Unis. they say. is neither
religious nor an anti-religious publication.
and IL strives to present in its columns. as far
as possible. the best current literature. It
takes It's feuilletons from those journals that
represent the weight Of literary authority in
France: and. besides. all the novels which they
have recently published have been reproduced
from Catholic and monarchical journals. We
have no doubt that this Is SO and we are sure
that the conductors Of the Courier are careful
to exclude from it's columns everything that
can be injurious to good morals.

A Political Conspiracy.

Three or four weeks ago Police Commits
sioner MATTHEWS left New York on a Euro
pean trip, to be absent, it was said, two or
three months An official leave of two
months was given to him by resolution Of
the Police Board, to examine the working
Of the police systems of Europe" but this
was simply designed to remove any difficulty
in the way of drawing his salary for the
period OF his absence from his duties. Two
or three hundred politicians were invited on
an excursion accompanying the steamship
down the bay, to give the travelling Commits
sioner send of. 1t was an expensive enter
tainment, with a fine lunch, costly floral
decorations, unlimited champagne for Com
missioner FRENCH and his friends, good hard
whskey for Commissioner NICHOLS and the
Tammany guests, and a mammoth bottle OF
Old Tom for Mr.. SHERIDAN SHOOK. Who
paid the bill is question destined to sleep
amid the mysteries of the Police Department.
Since Police Commissioner MATTHEW'S
departure some Of the County Democratic
leaders have been bordering over the mean
ing Of the undisguised satisfaction manifest
| ed by his colleagues at his absence. Con
| situations have been held at the Mayors
Office, and the conclusion has been reached
that the whole affair is a prearranged plot
and that it is contemplated to appoint the
| election inspectors and poll clerks for the
next election before the return of Mr.. MAT
THEws, and to divide them between Tam
many and Irving Hall on one side and the
| Republicans on the other, so as to leave the
| County Democrats without any official rep
resentation Mt the ballot boxes this year

Mr.. SMITH, who was one Of the most active
Republican managers at that time, pro-
posed to pay the same inspectors very
heavily IL they would count the votes honest
ly, exactly az they should be cast; and this
he was confident would put the Republicans
In the majority. He was reminded that GER
tain legal penalties might be incurred by
Offering to pay these inspectors, and that
there was law against bribery. This con-
sideration was not sufficient to deter him.
"If we bribe," he said 1t will only be bribing
them to be honest; and there cannot be any
crime in securing an honest count" But
this view did not prevail in the Republican
Committee. The inspectors were not hired
to be honest, and the votes were counted for
BUCHANAN.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 trust you will
allow friend to protest mildly but
decidedly against what seems to be
the spirit and purport of the COM
munication in Tuesdays BULLETIN,
on the recent race between the NIilia
and the Kanoelani. Even assuming
the facts to he as represented,
it seems to me hardly proper
to use the occasion as q means of
stirring up race prcjudices. Better
leave that business to the class of
scurvey politicians who hope to pro-
fit thereby. A disposition to quibble
over the result of race, whether of
boats OF of horses, and to resort to
sharp practice to avoid owning n
square beat, is not peculiar to IIaw-
niians. The class of people known
ms "sea lawyers did not originate in
these islands. III the kanaka has
become trickster and jockey in
sporting matters, he has only follow
cd the example the foreigner has set
him. The writer is probably not fa-
miliar with the history of the Kapio-
lani Park Track and the jobs that have
been "put up" by well-known for
cigners in connection with the racing
thereon. Had he been so, he
might perhaps not have written an
article the substance of which seems
to be, "See how these tricky natives
are trying to cheat these honest
foreigners"

TRUTHFUL JOURNALISM.

awe see daily how facts are mis-
represented, simple statements dis
tortcd, and deliberate invention of
lies superadded to perhaps a few
particulars of truth.-P G. a.,
Monday, Nov. goth.
BY what unconscious irony does
il give so truthful an account of its
own columns In the editorial of
which the above extract is the last
sentence, it says that "the gallant
Commanders (Capt. Belknap's)
dispatch to his Chief has been alto
gether misrcpresented in the quoted
extract"
We have made the most careful
and searching inquiries, and find
that the "oltogeNer miSrepreSentcd"
dwindles down to the fact that the
newspaper extract is not literally n
copy of the gallant captains des-
patch. 1t is, however, in substance
exactly the same.
We can state, on the best author
ity, that the inferences drawn by the
newspaper extract from the despatch
are exactly what was expected to be
drawn from it by any sensible man,
and convey the impression meant
to lie conveyed to the Secretary
Of the Navy. The only points in
the extract referred to which may
lead to wrong impressions are the
following: "The planters have
formed a protective union, and
made protest to the King against
the selection of his Cabinet" This
contains two statements, both of
which are true in themselves, but
which need to be separated by a
period to convey their exact mean
ing as the planters had formed
their protective union long before
the present Ministry was formed.
Still this protective union did pro-
test to the King against the continu-
ance in office of the Ministry. And
also this "the matter probably will
drag along until the coronation day,
when indications point to distur-
bance of the alleged evil is not
remedied." This extract does not
refer to the Captains own opinions
but to what he has heard.
