An Important Inquiry.

The Reform Club of New York Is
collecting the opinions of farmers in
every part of the country on the con-
dItion of the agricultural class To
this end they are sending out to farm
ers blank to be filled out, contain
ing the FOLLOWING questions and in
strnctions:
/. Are the farmers in your COM
munlty as prosperous as they have
ever been?
2. If so, to what do they chiefly
owe their prosperity? If not, what
has been the chief reason of the
change. (Leave out of consideration
such temporary causes as bad crop
year. and consider the social and po-
litlcal causes
3. Do the farmers take less or
more interest than formerly in econ
omic discussions?
4. What effect does the tariff have
on their condition?
5. Will a bushel OF wheat or a
barrel of corn buy as many neces-
saries of life as it did thirty years
ago?
6. Have they gained or lost social
dignity, as compared with other class
es, such as merchants and mechan-
les?
7. Do farmers sons show any less
willingness than formerly to become
farmers2 II so, why?
If you will write fuller answer
to these inquiries than this blank
will hold, it will be highly appreci'
ated.
Please address your answers by
mail to the Reform Club, II East
Thirty-third Street, New York City,
and summary of the answers, re
celved from every part of the coun
try will be sent to you.

NOTABLE FOUNDATIONS.
Some of the Great Floods That
Are Recorded in History.

A0lODe- DenOCfdL.l
1t becomes interesting to note
some of the great floods of history.
One Of the most notable was that
which, according to the old Histor-
ian Camden, washed away Earl
Godwin's lands on the coast of Kent,
and left only the Goodwin Sands.
Holland has furnished many a coast
food. At bort, in 1446, the sea
brske in through the dykes and
drowned the people of seventy-two
villages, in all 100000 persons.
The dykes failed in 1880 and nearly
100000 people died. The celebrat-
ed Ripon flood in Yorkshire was in
l77I, and in 1887 over 2000 persons
lost their lives by the sudden tor
rents from the mountains of Navarro.
In 1913 the overflow of the Danube
drowned 2400 Turkish soldiers on a
small island near Widdin, and in
Sllesia the floods practically ruined
the French army under Mcdonald.
The Vistula overlooked and broke
its dykes in 1929 and swept away
10000 cattle and 1000 houses.
Two famous floods in France were
of 1910 and 1916 The former was
in the southeast, and upward of 1000
houses were swept away by the
Rhone. The other was in the cen
trail and southwestern part of Frace,
and destroyed $4,000 worth of prop
erty, including numerous costly rail
road yladucts.
BY the bursting of the reservoir at
Lorca, in Spain, twenty square leag
ues were devastated and over 1000
persons drowned, April IA, 1902.
The property damaged was estlmat-
ed at 100000.
The giving away of the dam OF
the Bradfield reservoir near Sheffield
England, on March IL, 1864, let
loose a food which swept fourteen
miles of valley in two hours and
caused a loss Of 81, 100000, besides
drowning $50 persons. This is the
disaster which is made to figure in
Charles Reid's "Put Yourself in His
Place" The area of the Bradford
reservoir was seventy eight acres, and
its dam at the highest place was
ninety five feet high.
The Williamburg, Mass, disaster
was on May II, 1874. The dam Of
a 100 acre reservoir gave way, and
ST. 100000 worth of property was
ruined. One hundred and fifty per.
sons lost their lives.

An Ell Paso Man Draws $4,000.

A Tribune man, hearing tina. a
gentleman in the city by the name
OF E. A. Rippey had drawn $4,000 at
the last Louisiana State Lottery
Drawing, called on him this morn
ing, and found him at his instrument
IN the dlspatcher's Office In the
Southern Pacific depot. He was
just doing some telegraphing, and
when he had finished it the reporter
accosted him with "good morning"
and asked if he were Mr.. Rippey,
and the gentleman replied in the az
firmative.
Il hear" said the reporter, 'that
you drew $4,000 in the last drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery. Is

eyes, sir, / did. and | have it de.

"What do you intend doing with

estate. Yes. sir. / was paid every
dollar of the money. and invested in
some more tickets. have been
buying tickets for some time, and
the last time / was rewarded" said
the gentleman.
Mr.. Rippey is night dispatcher in

The COIored Politician.

P. B. S. Pinchback, the ablest pol
ltician OF his race, has expressed
himself on the policy OF the admins
tration at some length, and as his
declarations may be accepted as il
Illustrating the views of the mass of
educated colored people, they are
here given:
If the Presidents ultimatume is to
throw the party in the South over
board, it will necessarily work the
dissolution of the bonds which have
held the colored people all over the
country to that party. For twenty
five years we have chung to the Re
publican party as our only salvation.
We have been taught that upon our
adherence to that party depended
our freedom, and we have always
followed blindly in the footsteps of
our white leaders. 1t became part
of the religion of our people, and
nothing short Of rebuke such as we
have received from Mr.. Harrison
could turn our people. However,
we have found out by actual exper-
fence that we are oppressed no more
under Democratic than under Re
publican rule. l tell you the gener
alton of colored people which was
brought up during the war is rapidly
disappearing, and the new genera
ton which has never been in slavery
is becoming educated and able to do
its own thinking. These young men
are tired of the yoke that has been
placed upon them, and they see all
too plainly that the debt which they
owe for their freedom is not entirely
due to the Republican party. In
other words, the colored people are
beginning to look out for their own
interest and in doing so they are
rapidly learning that their best in
terests are not subseryed by voting
solidly with the Republican party.
Whatever debt we owed has been
paid many times over and now that
the party turns its back upon US we
will not feel obliged any longer to
follow in its wake.

the spoils, but If such is the case, he

THE Fort Smith board of trade

THE Fort Smith board of trade is
moving in the matter of increased
passenger service on the Little Rock
and Fl. Smith road. The following
resolutions have been forwarded to
the officials at st. Louis:
"Whereas, The manner of run
ming of trains on the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railway is lnconvenient
and affords no time at either Little
Rock or Fort Smith, and requires
three days for persons residing in
Little Rock to attend to business of
any character 10 Fort Smith and
those residing in Fort Smith are at
equal disadvantage in doing bust
ness in Little Rock; therefore, be it
resolved by the Chamber of Com
merce, That the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railway Company be,
and are hereby requested to put on
double daily trains on the road be
tween Little Rock and Fort Smith,
or to so change their running time
as to give a longer time in the
said cities than by the present ar
rangement. The state of affairs re-
ferred to is cause of constant com.
plant from every one who travels
over the road, or who has any bust
ness In either OF the terminal cities
1t works directly against both of
them in favor Of st. Louis and Mem
pills."
The grievance so aptly stated by
the resolutions above is felt at every
business point on the road. Double
daily trains would meet the public
requirement and nothing short of
this will do it. We hope the move
ment so vigorously begun at Fort
Smith will be heartily and ably sec.
onded all along the line until it Is
finally successful.

The supreme court las handed
down a very important and notewor-
thy decision in the case of Marcus
Berger VS.. te,appealed from Craig
head county. Berger was convict
ed of selling intoxicating liquor vii
out license. 1t was contended q
the legislature did not intend to pr
hibit the sale of "hard cider" which
the evidence showed Berger to have
sold. The court held that as there
was evidence tending to show that
the cider sold was intoxicating and
used as a beverage the evidence and
instructions were correct and iusti-
fed conviction. The decision was
rendered by Chief Justice Cockrell
and will have an important bearing
In similar cases where indictments
have been found in Pope and other
prohibition counties.

J. II. JONES, &c. assessor of ST.
Francis county has rendered his res
ignation to the governor and the
same has been accepted. Pending
an election, Gov. Eagle will appoint
q suitable man to fill the vacancy in
few days. In his letter of resigna
tion Jones says he relinquished the
trust through no fear of his ability
to perform the duties of the Office, or
from any threats or intimidation,
persuasion of partizans or fear OF
personal safety, but solely on his
own motion and with a desire to re-
store harmony among all classes in
his county, without which they can
never hope for peace. In taking
this step he says:
81 am influenced most strongly by
the purest and most patriotic motives
"a desire to see our distracted coun-
ty restored to that peaceful tranquil
ity that marks the highest civiliza-
ton. / am at home and have
the good will OF all classes of our

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The supreme Court, by Judge
Hughes, rendered an important de-
cision, in regard to the character OF
improvements which will entitle the
mechanic or laborer TO lien on real
estate for labor done performed.
The case went up from White coun-
ty and the decision is as follows:
This action was brought to fix a
lien under the mechanics lien law
acts of 1878, and the only question
involved is as TO whether or not the
digging of well is making such an
improvement as entities the laborer
to lien. Although the first section
of the act seems, by its terms, to EN-
brace any improvement that might
be made the land, Involving the
performance of work or labor" yet
that section is certainly limited or
qualified by subsequent section OF
the act which provides. that all the
fright and title of the defendant to
the land on which any building, ten
ement or edifice shall be erected as
well as to convenient space around
the same, not exceeding two acres
clear OF the building tenement or ed
ifice, shall also be subject to the liens
filed by virtue of the provisions of
this act, and such right and title
shall be sold with the building, tene
ment or edlfice, as part of the prop
erty charged with the lien. 1t seems
that the statute has given no lien up
on land to secure payment for labor
performed save for the character of
labor coming strictly within its pro-
visions, and that labor performed in
digging well does not come within
the provisions of this act. A well is
not an improvement that will war
rant the assertion of lien upon
land to pay for digging it. The
right to lien on real estate ought
not to be extended beyond the clear
intention of the statute creating 1t.
Nor does the act of 1868, providing
for the liens upon real estate, by its
terms embrace this case. That act
has been strictly construed by this
court.

Democratic Gains.

The school elections throughout
the State of West Virginia show
great Democratic gains and the ma
iority in the State is about 5000.
Preston, which gave Harrison 1900
majority, goes 800 Democratic. The
Republican majority in Kanawha
county is cut down from 1900 to less
than 200. Berkeley, which went Re-
publican 200, goes Democratic 400.
