TuE Philadelphia Record tells ofa farmer
who slipped upon "A banana skin on the
streets of Lancaster, and wanted TO com
plain to the mayor because nearly all of his
three dozen eggs were broken. II is pity
that the victims of the banana skin get
nothing hut ridicule or scaut sympathy for
their misfortune. Perhaps IL II large reward
were offered for the detection of a rascal in
the act of dropping banana skins on tho
pavement, II might stop the outrage, hut
public sentiment ought to be strong enough
to control 80 trhing N matter that threatens
results anything but trifling. Legs ~ well
~ eggs have been broken by this miserable
carolossness IN dropping things that might
just AS easily be thrown where they could
do no harM.

The Allegheny Rattle,

The matter of interest to-day In Penn
sylvania politics Is the signal defeat OF
the Quay forces 10y the Magee faction In
Allegheny county. This is entirely
Republican quarrel but Is of interest to
Democrats as well as Republicans. II
shows that the federal spoils are likely
to weaken rather than to strengthen the
Republican party in Pennsylvania, and
that they will not enable Quay tocontrol
1t. They sufficed to subject the Legis-
lature to his will, but in the wider
far less effective. The postmaster
at Pittsburg was secured by Quay; and
afterwards the Republican vote of the
city repudiated him. II is not COM
Portable showing for his continued
domination, nor does it promise well fo
the party i'm the state, which exhibits
two factions strong enough to contest its
control. Lancaster county stands with
Allegheny in the quarrel and Pbiladel-
phia Is likely TO stand with them. The
disturbance inevitable over the distribu-
tion of federal patronage will be water
on the mill Of the outsiders aud in the
gubernatorial contest of next year il is
quite as probable that the side that is
weakest will be strongest, and the party
that il now in will I've out. There is no
such Republican majority in the state
as will enable il to safely enjoy an inter
nal conflict, and one of the sort that is
now advertised will made Democratic
success certain.
Consequently we look upon il with
equanimity. And there is nothing in
the merit of the Republican dispute to
give either side public sympathy. II is
nothing but contest for control to
serve selfish ends. No one can suppose
that Magee has any patriotic purpose
in fighting Quay, or Quay in seeking
to down Magee. They are simply
rival leaders, with Quay on top by the
fortune of the war. Magee's methods
and aims are thoroughly dishonest and
even more so than Quays. There is "A
bottomto the latier's political depravity,
but none has yet been discovered in Ma
gees, who stops at no prostitution for
profit. Quay has turned him down, be-
cause of his general and particular ras-
eality ; and when this pot can call this
kettle black, it must be black indeed.
The falling out of the rogues will be, as
usual, OF great public benefit. They
have had long lease of power in the
state, and the severe bleeding they have
given II, in a quarter of century, has
been endured with "A patience that has
been y special wonder. They have put
the power Of the commonwealth 10
every unholy use and have put the heel
Of corporations heavily upon its people
checking its prosperity and lowering its
values. The farms Of the state have
fallen in price, and its industries have
hst their profit. Ii is clear that legis-
lation hostile to the people has done the
!, damage, and that this has been the work
- the corrupt heads of the dominant
political party.

Great Farms

The famous bonanza farm Of North
Dakota has often been used by alarmists
- an illustration of what might he

oly. Buying reapers and other machin-
cry by the hundred, and all kinds o'
seeds and supplies at wholesale rates, the
managers of this farm have an additional
advantage over the small farmer in sell
ing their vast product, by shipment
over tracks that run right up to
their barns. They can afford to eni-
ploy the very best experts In the direc-
ton of their work, and to command that
practical application of science which
20 many dreamers have vainly Thought
to accomplish by means of agricultural
colleges. With these advantages IT was
to be feared that these farms, with their
tens of thousands of acres, and armies of
men, would prove irresistible coinreti-
tors Of the small farms, and rob the ma
ton of what must always he its main
stay, the class that owns and works and
lives upon the land from generation to
generation. The success of these farms
appeared certain, but now II X very
doubtful aud indeed il would seem a
prophecy of little daring To declare that
they are certainly doomed tn failure
The small farmer can stand crop fail
ures and the worst of hard times, be-
cause he can always make n living from
his farm. II may he very poor living,
with very hard work, hut he is holding
fast to all that he has gained In the
struggle with nature, and Is always
ready to take the best advantage gilmore
favorable seasons when they come Mt
last. He values his land for something
else besides the value il may yield him
il is q part Of his home, and with due
pride i'm ID he gives 1t far more labor and
attention than any laborer or foreman
of n bonanza farm may apply To that
purely business enterprise.

doubtedly cause the abandonment of the

in swarming Eastern lands the people
who work their farms are never reduced

their homesteads. At least this can
only happen in the times of famine that
are rare events in modern days.
The great Dakota farms have blue
