Report of the Statistician of the
Agricultural Department.

Agricultural Department.
Mr.. J. Il. Dodge, the statistician
of the agricultural department, has
just completed preliminary estimates
of the principal crops of the country
for the year 1888, which are TO be
printed as n special report for Dec.
They show that potatoes, as we'll as
all other roots and oats, have grown
luxurianuy and yielded abundantly.
The average yield of corn per acre
for the present year, Mr.. Dodge says,
is nearly % bushels or, more exactly,
by preliminary estimates 22.7, which
is J per cent. less than the average
yield for n series of years, or ,5jl,.

FREDERICK W. BAKER, Editor.
The Trouble at Aberdeen.

The trouble at Aberdeen, growing out of
the swindling of number of Italian railroad
laborers by an absconding sub.contraclor,
points out the necessity of legislation to Sc
cure to laborers their wages, and thereby to
avert the evil and dangerous consequences of
labor riots from that particular cause. Rail
road companies, are doubtless careful in So
Letting the men to whom they give contracts,
but the latter sub-let portions of the work to
other and less resposible men, who employ
the hands. The laborers, as in this case, are
frequently Ignorant ofour language and Gus
toms. After several months hard work they
find themselves turned adrift without a cent
OF pay and no one to look to for redress.
Their indignation is natural and it is no Won
der if it eliminates in some outbreak that
renders them amenable to the law. Even if
no outburst occurs the people Of the neigh
borhood are made to suffer The men are
destitute and must be fed by the citizens, who
are besides subjected to annoyance and anxi-
ETY. from the presence ola large number of UNI
employed and perhaps dangerous men in
their midst
Now, we submit that this is great wrong
to the community as well as to the poor Ia
borcrs. Corporations should be compelled
to see to ii that the laborers employed by
their contractors are paid before the contrac-
tors themselves draw any mony. Fortunate
ly the present trouble has ended without any
serious consequences, but the Legislature
should doson.ething 10 avert similar danger,
which is likely to occur any time where large
bodies men are empl"ye'lb by irresponsible
Contractors.
The Rev. Don Luigi Sartori, priest of st
Stephens Church, near Upper Falls, Bati-
more county, has written II letter to the Bal
timore SIM in reference to the treatment OF
Italian laborers by railroad contractors. He
says:
at was wrong for the Italians to dctain
forcbly the contractor, A. S. Pertinent, and
to resist and assault the sheriff and his depu-
ties, especially they knew that they repre-.
sented the law. The intelligent Americans,
however, will understand that when poor
unfortunate and hungry aborers are often
defrauded of their wages and driven almost
to despair they cannot easily appeal to the
sedate Judgment of their mind"

Appointment of School Commissioners.

The Marlboro Gazette strongly urges the
repeal of that portion of the school law vest
ing the appointment of school commission
ers in the judges of the various circuits, and
says:
AS matter of public interest," it is difficult
to determine which is the more important.
good judges or good public schools. With
proper system of public education, the for.
mer are relieved of many of their most ne.
cesary but most unpleasant duties, and as
they react on each other tor the benefit of
the community, land experience has shown
the folly OF attempting to run them in COM
mon, or of combining functions which have
no natural affiliation,) the present Legislature,
if it is wise, will repeal the law and relieve
the judges from their embarrassment. Should
it be deemed inexpedient to subject the an.
pointment of School Commissioners to the
corrupting influence of party politics, other
methods could be devised quite as judicous as
that now in vogue and stripped of the obiec-
lions urged against it. The Governor of the
State appoints all the Justices of the Peace,
and thus far there has been no grumbling
He might with equal judgment select the
School Commissioners.
