Agricultural Wealth.

The monthly reports of Mr.. J. r. Dodge.
contain q great deal of valuable information
upon variety of subjects. The official title
of "statistician" very inadequately designates
the work performed by this intelligent and
laborious reporter of the condition of our
leading domestic industries. While he deals
primarily with figures, he states the facts
and conclusions to which these figures point
with singular clearness and force. A stats.
tical table is not q particularly interesting
study TO the average farmer, and Mr.. Dodge
saves him the trouble of wrestling with
differences and percentages by telling him
exactly what the table shows.
One of the topics treated of in tho February
report is the movement Of cattle. There has
been slight decrease in the number Of
horned cattle in the southern states during
the past year. caused by failure of pasturage
in some localities and the driving of stock
be lattenod on the unfenced plains. The
great cattle kings cannot wait for tho
growth of their herds by natural increase,
but buy up all the calves and young cattle
they can get in the adjacent states. Calves
are shipped westward not only from the trans
Mississippi states, but from Kentucky and,
in fact from the whole Ohio valley. The
herds in New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana,
and other territories have also been increased
by droves from tho Pacific coast. The aver
age value of mileh COWS for the present year is
put at $31.37; the average price in Maryland
is S3625, and in Virginia, $2265.
The low price of wool Caused by the re-
duction of the tariff has operated uniavorably
upon the sheep-raising industry. A small
further decline may precpitate a panic and
cause the slaughtering of sheep for their pelts
and talOw Flocks have been dispersed in
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri because they
could not be maintained without loss to the
owners. Great encouragement Is felt even
in Texas, whore land is cheap and all the
conditions for sheep-raising are most favor
ablo.
We have heretofore commented upon the
remarkable exhibit prepared by Mr.. Dodge,
showing the effect of diversified industries
upon the value of land, He recurs to the
subject again in his report for February, and
fortihes his conclusions with new array Of
figures. THE farmer feeds ALL" remarks

A Telegraph War.

few days ago a senate committee brought
out the fact that tho Western Union Tele-
graph company and the Baltimore and Ohio
/ Telegraph company had ut one time actually
entered into an agreement to consolidate,
and were only prevented from carrying out
the scheme by the peremptory mandate of
the elder Garrett. 1t is somewhat remark
able that the two companies which were in
such perfect accord couple of years ago that
they came near coalescing into one by sort
of electro -galvanic process should be so Bit
terly hostile now. They are at present
carrying on war" in Philadelphia
which has put the endurance of an operator
to very severe test.
The Western Union company was per.
mitted to occupy an inclosure, about eight
feet square, in a brokers' office on South
Third street. On last Friday tho COM
pany was ordered to vacate the place, but
the operator refused to leave. An oper.
ator of the Baltimore and Ohio company
put in an appearance and demanded
possession, but was obliged to take a
seat outside. At the close of business
hours the Howell Brothers closed up their
Office, and went home, leaving the hungry
operator in his place. A force of Baltimore
and Ohio men waited on the outside ready
to take possession should the Western Union
man venture out. lie "held the fort" how
ever, all night and during the next day.
On Saturday night the Western Union people
put in man through the transom above
the door of the office, who relieved the half
famished operator.
On Sunday morning panel was cut out of
II closed door which communicates directly
with the telegraph Office, and through this
hole relief men were put in at night also
provisions for the beleagured garrison. Yes
terday the Western Union man was collared
and forcibly elected, and subsequently he and
other employees of the company were arrested
and held to answer charge of forcible entry

operation, but not lucrative business u
whatever tends to augment the number oi
persons Go be fed raises tho value Of land
and enhances the prosperity Of the farmer,
The great thing to be desired is a homo mar
ket for agricultural products.
Not content with demonstrating from the
census tables that tho price of land in the
several states is high or low, according to the
ratio which the number of farmers in each
state bears to the whole population, Mr.. Dodge
takes up the counties Of each state and shows
that in the manufacturing counties lands are
high, and that tho price diminshes with the
ratio of manufacturing population. For in-
stance, in the manufacturing counties of
Texas the average value of land is $1023 per
acre, and in the other counties $461. In the
manufacturing counties of Pennsylvania the
average price is $s673 per acre, and in tho
other counties SlO.02.
We have not the space 70 follow Mr.. Dodge
through all the deductions which he makes
from these figures, but he shows conclusively
that diversified manufactures not only en-
hance the value of land, but largely increase
the farmers earnings and the wages of farm
laborers. AS far as the maintenance of these in
dustries depends upon a protective tariff it is
Of the utmost Importance to the farmer and
those whom he employs that the tariff should
not be disturbed.

II was high compliment to the finished
excellence of Mr.. Charles Wyndham and tho
Criterion company that, notwithstanding the
presence of the distinguished trsgedians, Mr..
Irving and Miss Terry, at the
National last night, there should have
boon so largo and fashionable an
audience at Ford's. Two plays were
presented, "Tho Cozy Couple" pathetic
comedietta, and the three act comedy of
Sardou, "The Butterfly Fever" The company
played with their usual polished m eri., win
ming the hearty favor of tho audience by the
tasteful portraitures presented. "The Cozy
Couple" is a pathetic piece and the abilities
of Mr.. Wyndham are brought into beautiful
contrast. The tender pathos of his acting
brought tears to many eyes in the audience.
He was artisticslly supported by Mrs. Ed.

Sardou's exquisite comedy of tho "But.

WHEN republican takes a position IN
opposition to the general feeling of his party
it is at once discovered that he is statesman
of the first water, animated by the loftiest
and purest emotions of bipartisan patriotism.
But when, as in the case of Mr.. Randall, a
democratic leader exhibits some independence
of character staightaway the admirers Of
boiling republicans proceed to pillory him as
traitor who should at once be read out of
the party without grace. Tho democratic OK
is a fragile beast, incapable of standing the
