BONANZA FARMS.

A few months ago sensation was created IN
California 10y the murder of treat ranch
owner who had long been famous rs ii repre-
sentative of the new school of farmers DR..
Glenn's wheat-feld the circuit of which was n
Iivelv davis ride, was celebrated in books Of
travel. and every stranger wished to sec 1t as a
snecimcn of the bonanza farms" which were
70 reyoutionize the agricultural systems of the
fertile West. He owned enormous productive
estates in various parts of the Paci fc slope
and gave employment TO armies of laborers.
When his Affairs came to DO settled after his
death there was another sensation. IL was
doubtful for a time whether he died "A million
naire or a bankrupt. There were debts TO the
amount of Il million dollars on the principal
farm. 1t was dry season and the crop was
light. At last it is announced that there will
he IA considerable surplus To divide among the
heirs although the vast fortune which report
very naturally assigned to this great wholesale
operator in farm labor has shrunk to modest
dimensions.
The collapse of the Glenn enterprise is not
10 be regretted. 1t was carried on, as we now
know, with difficulty and danger. DrOuth
and other accidents of husbandry, which
brought disappointment and perhaps en-
barrassment to the small farmer, might sweep
away from the bonanza wheat grower the last
penny of his fortune and the last shred of his
credit 1t is well for ambitious men to see
something of the risk attending the absorption
of immense tracts of land in n single estate.
Because most kinds of manufacturing are
economically and efficiently conducted in large
establishments, we are apt to assume that the

this experiment has been strongly marked at the
West, where large tracts OF fertile land await

the interference of death. There are land

PEACE ~ SOUTH AMERICA

The dispatches from Valparaiso announcing
the conclusion OF peace between Chill and Peru
are credible without. being ineligible. Tho
last proposal which the conqucrors are known
to have made embraced the surrender OF the
Tarapaca district, ncuding the haTbor oil AFRICA
and the inland town of Tacua,and the payment
of an indemnity Of SlO,COOOJO to Peru. In
the outline OF the terms of peace the towns oi
Tacna and africa are represented Is cedcd to
Chill for ten years with the understanding that
the Inhabitants at the end OF Chat period shall
decide to which country they shall belong No
reference. however, is made 10 the rich pIov
ince of Tarapaca south Of those towns, and
consequently the conditions OF peace are mex
picahle Our conjecture is that the sea-coast
of Bolivia as far as the L0a together with
Peruvian Tarapaca as far as the Camaronc'
River has been permanently annexed to Chill.
and that the outlying district including AFRICA
and Tacua has been coded for ten years With
,tipulations for a dnil plcbiscitc aud an in
demnitv probably of SO, zoe, 900. The Gillian
Administration submitted to Congress last
June A bill designating the CamarOEcs RIVER
as the northern boundary and there Is no
reason to suppose that Iarapaca Is now to be
restored to Peru 10y treaty. The annexation OF
that uroyincc has hocn a toregOne conclusion,
although the Peruyians have stoutly refused
TO recognize il; and the rumOr that the ont
living district has been cedcd for a decade prob
ably implies the permanent acquisition OF every
thing south OF IT.
Suspicously vague rs the terms Of peace
seem in the outline furnished from Valparaiso
the inherent probabilities of the case tend to
confrm the announcement. The Chillans are
known 10 have been anxious for "A long time to
retire from the conquered country. The wal
has already cost them S3O,Ou0O 900, and the
financial burden of military occupation by a
force of 5000 men, after being borne for
twenty-eight months, has become lntolcrablc
They have been exposed &c the hazards oi
guerilla warfare and havo had to govern hos
tile country under the most unfayOTable
circumstances public sentiment beng de-
moralized and the faction chefs enyIous, ma
lignaut and irresponsible. The conclusion Of
peace will c1tricate them from position of cx-
IRENE embarrassment and enable them to cut
down the expenses Of their military establish
ment unuer which they are now staggering
ON tho other hand Iglcsias is known to have
becn Il sincere and Jealous advocate Of peace,
who has succeeded in establishing his authority
in the northern and central part OF Peru.
While there are several guerilla chefs who are
opposcd to him. he has acquired an unmistak
able asceudancy in Peruvian councils and may
now be strong enough to negotiate treaty
with the CHILEAN generals.

The Morning Journal the newest of the applicants
for the public support daily newspaper IN New
York was able to celebrate yesterday the compile
ton of its first SIX months by announcing that it
had reached a circulation of fifty thousand copies.
A. Tx TRIBUNE presses have printed this paper
from its first issue, we are IN position to
know that this statement is accurate and that
the whole career of that paper thus fer has been
phenomenal. II started off with Issuo of over
TWENTY-FIVE thousand In the first week so /. fell
rs low as seventeen or eighteen thousand. Since
then 1t has advanced steadily until for the last
three weeks it has ranged between forty-iye I'd
fifty thousand, not falling. we believe, on Siuglo

q durino tbe last week of the session business
q was not specially accelerated but proceeded st
. obont the same rate rs previously" The fact
is that ON the very important question OF adopt
inc the rcnort of the conference committee on
+be Annortionmcpt bill, business was so ire
mendo,;slv. so outrageOusly accelerated that
the Republcan Asscmblymen were prevente1
from expressing their views on tile oill' the

Ocrats having united i'll ordering the previous

Measurements is that the criticisms that were
passcd upon his own official conduct were
"cither inspired by malice or dictated by ign"-
"rance." When public man begins to talk IN
fiat impressive strain of the newspapers 1t
may he safely taken for granted that he has
been severely handled and that he deserved all
he got. And that we gravely suspect, is what
is the matter with Mr.. Chaplin.
Leaving the Measurements, glance ut few
of the leading statements that are conspicuous
by their absence from this eulogy. The Speaker
argues that the Legislature was "progre'sive
and reformatory," but says nothing about that
signal illustration of progress and reform, the
passage of the free rum bill. He argues that
mate rights and interests of important classes,
bnt says nothing about the failure OF the bill
to abolish the convict labor system. lie argues
that the Legislature " must be conceded to be
responsive TO the best popular sentiment but
saws nothing about its inc1cusable and shame
full neglect to revise and amend the tax laws.
lie argues that the Legislature was ndepeu-
dent of sinister Influences" but says nothing
about the theft of the free bridge bill. Fur
thermore, he studOusly remembers to forget
to allude to The increase OF the tax rate for
which the people have to thank TINS LeSSla-
tnre, or to the foul crime against the ballot-bo1
which resulted in keeping Mr.. Sprague out OF
his seat during the entire session.
The next time, Mr. Chaplin, that you have 1T
in mind to eulUgize the Legislature of l8o3-
don't. By taking this advice you will be saved
the modification that attends an unsuccessful

SWLET IND HUNANE JUSTICE.

The English method of disposing of capital
offenders contains many points which Amerl-
cans could copy with profit. In the first place,
when British court sentences a criminal to he
hanged on certain date it is rs certain as
sunrise that he will be hanged on that very day.
There is not much heard Of the murderer dur-
ing the time which utervenes between bis SEN
tence and his execution, aud nobody ever thlnKs
Of asking in England tho question which Is al
WAYS heard here after the sentence: " DO you
believe they will ever hang him y On the day
and hour named tho guilty man swings. Inc
beneficial effect upon the crimnally disposed
classes by this memorable march OF justice are
obvious
In the second place, the hanging is done
thoroughly as well as promptly. The British
authorities adhere to the drop system which
We have been trying, rather unsucccs5fully, to
improve upon in this State. When Brady was
hanged the other day in Dublin he dropped
nine feet and his neck was broken, causing IN
slant death. The drop system was formerly
used in nearly all parts of the United States
and is now in the South in Massachusetts, ana
several other States. II has always worked
well except i'm cases of bnngang management
Sometimes the rope has not been properly
stretched and the criminals feet have touched
the ground, making it necessary to hoist him
up in order TO kill him. Tins has been death
10y torture, and a irhuman rs can well be
imagined la one case the rope was too long,
and the mans head was torn from his body.
These dreadful accidents, all due to stupid
bunders on the part of the eXccutonera. and
not in any way the fault of the system induced
the Now-York authorities to substitute the
weight system, by which the criminal is hoisted
into the air by the falling of IL weight. This
plan, even when properly worked,s not always
successful in causing instant death. The neck
Is often not broken. and the criminal is slowly
etransled. The English regard the drop system
as the best, and we would do well to consider
whether in our zeal for reform In hanging as
well as by hanging we have not made a mistake.

The authorities in Dublin are fast dispOsing
of the minor criminals connected with the muir
deis in Phoenix Park. The cabman, Fltzharis,
whose nickname of Skin the Goat has seemed
to add to his load Of OpproUrIum i'll the public
mind, was convicted yesterday of being an ac-
ccssory after the fact, and was sentenced TO
penal servitudc for life. He is the man who
was acquitted Oh the charge OF murder AS he
induced Smith to point out the victims III the
Park he is as guilty of murder, morally, as
Brady, who was hanged on Monday. Daniel
Delaney, who sat in the Park on that fatal even
ing with James Carey, waiting for the Chef
Secretary TO come along, and Edward Mccall
rev, who introduced Walsh to Carey when the
murder plot was being cOntrived, were also
arraigred and pleaded guilty of conspiracy to
murder. They were not sentenced. Martin,
who was certainly concerned in one attempt TO
take Mr.. Forstcr's life, admitted that lie was
guilty of conspiracy to murder lie gets on
without other punishment than the necessity of
leaving the county. Considering how many
Door but honest men are only too glad to emil
crate from Ireland, the consequences of Mar
tins crime are not very serious to him. The
country which has to harbor him finally is to be
pitcd If he undertakes to come to America
our Immigration Commissioners should sec to
it that he is returned to the English authorities
under che law which directs them to refuse a
landing TO criminals and paupcrs.
