THE OLD AND THE NEW.
How Farming can be Made Much
More Remunerative.

"No SIR" said prominent agri>
culturalist to a Banner reporter to-
day, ~ tell you farmers will never
make the business profitable so long
as they continue in the old ruts and
farm in the old fashioned way, by
plowing from sun-up till sun down,
Just because their fathers did it that
way. First, they plow too much,
which is ruination to the lands.
This has been practically demons
strated, and then again the labor Of
raising corn far exceeds the profit
of the product.
eyes, sir, if farmers would turn
their attention to raising hay and
those products that enrich the
ground rather than those that wear
it out, they would soon see the ad-
vantage and the profit. It is a
great mistake, and one they inherits
ed, that corn pays better than any
thing else they could produce.
II hope it will not be many years
before this country will see revo-s
luton in farming. There are few
who have already demonstrated the
fact that there are. other products
which pay better than corn, and
these few raise no more corn than
enough to feed their work horses.
HNow, as an instance, will cite
you to farmer in my. neighbor-s
hood. This year he sowed all of
his land in grain and hay. His
barley crop, which you must un-
derstand, is sown in. the fall of the
year, after furnishing his stock with
excellent pasturage during the en-
tire winter, yielded forty bushels of
seeds to the acre. This he can sell
in due season at, say the least, 81
per bushel. Had he planted the
same land in corn he would proba
bly have made ten barrels TO the
acre. For this he would not have
received over s2.505tper barrel.
Then again, he had the pasturage,
which is feature well taken into
consideration by the farmer.
"a gain, more attention should be,
paid to stock raising, and plenty OF
pasturage and hay; this is a more
profitable business. than corn grow

DROPPED DEAD.
SUDDEN DECEASE OF THE DUKE OF
t WELLINGTON. g.

SUDDEN DEcEAsE OF THE DUKE OF
.fa WELLINGTON. sr
LONDON, August 13, 19S4.-The
Duke of Wellington dropped dead
at Brighton to-day as he was enter
ing a train for London. He died
of heart disease. He went to Brigh-
ton for the benefit of his health, but
fearing an attack of illness decided
to return home. When his valet
left him to purchase the tickets he
appeared to be we'll If his own
physician certifies that be died of
heart disease no inquest will be
held.
He was born-seventy-sev
years ago-plain Arthur Richard
Wellesley. At the age of two he
became Honorable by courtesy at
five his style was Viscount Welles-
ley at seven he had developed into
Marquis of Douro. When young
Lord Douro went to Eton his father
was considered the greatest man
living. He was a quiet, rather shy
lad, with an apparently painful con-
sciousness that he was the observed
of all Observers. He was moderate
ly dilligent, generally knew his les
sons fairly well, and was never in
a serious scrape. AS at Eton SO it
was at Cambridge, where in due
course he matriculated as nobleman
at Trinity. As an officer he once
had the misfortune to incur the
serious displeasure Of his father.
His regiment had been ordered to
Dover. AS soon as. it arrived all
the officers left cards at Walmer
Castle. Douro, as the son of the
house, felt himself dispensed from
the observance Of this formula.
Wellington thought otherwise and
invited all the officers to dinner ex-
cept his own son. Douro did not
venture to 60 without an invitation,
but called on his father and asked
what the omission meant. "Why,
sur" replied the Duke, in state of
calm irritation, tithcse gentlemen
did me the honor to call ON me- and
/ havo returned their civility. You
did not call and SO / was not bound
TO invite you" No wonder that
father and son saw little of each
other. The Duke was punctilious
IN exaeting homage, which, in fact,
had become meat and drink to hlm.
When his father died he hesitated
to assume the title. More than two
months elapsed between the death
and funeral of the great Duke, SO
that it became necessary to re-
nounce the name of Douro before
the usual tirne. 1t was transmitted
to no one. He had no children, and
his successor is Colonel Wellesley,
late M. p. for Andover, who is not
to be confonnded with the Colonel
Wellesley who married Kate
Vaughan, the actress. The late
Duke was net n great territorial
magnate, as English estates go. The
Strathfeldsaye property the nucleus
OF which was purchased by the ma
ton, now extends over nearly six
teen thousand acres, and produces a
rental of about E1 the acre. Three
or four Thousand acres more in
Herts, Somerset and Berks make up
the whole of the entaiIed property,

THE SIZE Of THE NOVEMBER
VOTE
N. Y Tribune, Aug. IL.

! NY Tribune, Aug. IL.
The probable vote for the Presi-
deney in November next will be
very close on ten and a half mil
lions, and may exceed that number.
The vote in 1880, using round fig
ures, was 9,220,000 in total popu-
lation of 49,371,0 900, and in male
population of the voting age report
ed at roundly 1851 900 for the
thirty eight States. The population
of the States will be, in November
next, above 56,000,O0O, in the eight
Territories and the District of Co-
lumbia very nearly million, mak>
ing for the whole country grand
total of fully 57,000,000. These lat
ter figures are arrived at by calcu>
lating the natural increase of our
population through the excess of
births over deaths at 2 per cent a
year. To this must be added the
immigration. Now if population
of 49, 81 900 in the States includes
voting population of 1851 900, a
population of 56,OOO,00O contains a
voting population of nearly IA, $780,
900, or that number Of men posses
sing the legal age for voting.
s In 1880 there were 9,220,000 bal
lots cast by voting population of
1851 900. If the people vote at
the same ratio in November, the to-
tai number of ballots is likely to bs
10.473, 900. A comparison with the
Presidential vote of 1876 produces
substantially the same results, if the
of the States in that year
is assumed at 44,870,OoO. For if
that number cast 8,413,000 ballots,
a population of 56,O0O,0OO is likely
to cast about ten and half million
votes; and as the State of New
York in 1880 cast 100000 ballots
in total for the country of 1920
900, it is not improbable that it will
cast 100000 ballots in the proba-
BILE total of 10,500,000 which may
be expected in November.
These gigantic figures may well
fill one with awe. ar s..-a

papers will specially commend itself
to political thinkers for the depth
and clearness of its reasoning. w.
H. Mallock's article called Gen
eral Gordon's Message" gives an
authoritative statement of the
strange religious views of a man
who is now so prominently in the
public eye. The brilliant article
F" Freebooters Of American Finance
is a pungent indictment of some of
the magnates Of Wall Street. Pa
pers that will attract special atten>

articles that on Mrs. Aphra

time n widow, between thirty and
forty years of age, with tive childI-
reA, the younger of when was ten
a years old. The facts ofthe case show
l that she was not betrayed and that
the allegations respecting her abb
duction and ill-treatment are Who'll
ly false. We deem these the only
features of the charge in conncc~
ton with this matter which consti-
tute public question requiring any
declaration on our part.
Our examination of tho other
charges which have been made
against Governor Cleveland sprivate
character shows that they are whol~
| ly untrue. In every instance in
which the reports and insinuations
have been tangible enough to fur
nish q clew to guide us in our in
vestigation they have been positive
ly proved to be false.
The attack upon Governor CleVe-
lands character is thoroughly dis
credited when we consider the
sources from which it comes. 1t |
was first publicly made in Buffalo
by a newspaper ofno standing what
ever. We have twice called upon
the editor of this paper and asked
him to produce his proofs the
names, dates and other particulars
which he had publicly stated he
was at liberty to show. He declines
TO do so or to facilitate investigation
into the truth of either his own
charges or those contained in the
anonymous letter which he publish
ed. He admitted that he had no
evidence to support any accusation
against Governor Cleveland, except
in the one instance to which we
have particularly referred. He
rested his case on that story, and as
TO that story he is contradicted by
the witnesses having personal
knowledge. r- s-rcr Ii
ALL HEARSAY.
The two clorgymen, whose pro-
fcssion has. been invoked to give
weight to these charges, have no I
personal knowledge of the facts, and s
under the circumstances could not 0
possibly have such knowledge.
They have ventured 10 state as facts !
known to themselves stories which /
rest upon the merest hearsay, and 9
which, whom traced to their alleged /
sources, are in every case denied by y
the persons to whom they are as :
cribed. .., =
We have designed to make can> Q

suits of our Investigation of this
