ment between the trunk lines, but will not bind
his road TO observe a passenger rate which shall
operate against his plan to acquire New York

Some years ago the world was treated to
stories, which tested the credulity of readers,
respecting the Brobdignagian farms of great
land proprietors in the far west Farms pro-
portioned rather to the more liberal dimensions
OF Saturn Or Jupiter than to the cramped
bounds OF this tiny planet were reported, where
the eye was wearied with gazing on crops by
the square mile, cultivated by steam plows
driven in platoOns.
All this was magnificent, but ii was not farm
ing. At least, according to Theodore Roosevelt,
who has been studying up that subject. the big
farms do not pay. He says that in nearly every
case where the experiment has been tried the
result has been the collapse of the wealthy cap
italst or corporation. The one big farm, he
finds, cannot compete with the many small
ones, side by side with 10, each OF which is care
fully and economically titled by it's frugal
owner. And it is fortunate that such has
proved to be the case, for the prosperity of n
new settlement depends on the success of small
farms managed in person by their owners.
One good effect of the absence of a contest
over the Speakership should be thorough
organization of the House before the holiday
recess. Generally the struggle for the gavel
makes it impossible to have the standing COM
mittees appointed until the House reassembles
in January. But Mr.. Carlisle could doubtless
be able TO make out his list as to present at
the opening OF the session. By doing so,
month would be gained that is commonly
wasted Members could have an opportunity
to familiarize themselves with their committee
duties during the month, so that by the time
Congress meets after New Years it would be
ready for work. In the meantime the two or
three weeks of December could be probably
spent in a candid discussion on the floor on the
subject of the rules.

Tammany Hall had a big jubilee last night to
rejoice over the election of its candidate for
governor. Enthusiastic speeches in praise of
Gov Hill were applauded vocferously, and
especially where the orators suggested Hill for
the presidency in 1SSS. The resolutions
adopted threw cold water on civil service re-
form, and passage from q letter of Gov. Hill
to Tammany was held TO squnt in the same
direction. In this letter the governor said that
the democratic demand was for "the purifica-
ton OF the public service and the selection of
public servants for important trusts who are in
sympathy with the sentiments OF the admins
tration that is responsible for the successful
conduct Of the government"
