The Albany Argus is now earnestly engaged
in defending the Lnson bogus ballot reform
bill The Argus is precisely the sort of news
paper 10 engage In such task, for not long
ago IL declared that the machinery OF elections

is satisfactory Obviously journal holding

regarding IL as unnecessary.
Conductors on street-cars are costly Injuries

tail cars in defiance Of public opinion on tho sub

nance requiring conductors TO be placed on the

The wide-embracing arms Of civilization are rap

One Of the latest notable illustrations Of this is the
announcement made the other day that cable will
pon be laid from Bermuda to Halifax. In a short
time, therefore, one can no longer get ont Of the
World, SO to say, by making voyage to the Ber-
nudas. But the improved means of communica-

When this country was hrst settled
there was an impression among the
colonists that the Indians had no intel
ligence or craft in their relations with
the white men. The latter soon found,
however, that this was not the case.
Some Of the farmers attempted to make
farm servants Of the Indians, but ais
covered that they had propensity to
"get tired" so soon after they began
work that their services were of little
value. One day farmer was visited
by stalwart Indian, who said: Me
want work.
NO" said the farmer, you will get
tired.
mo. no." said the Indian, me never
get tired"
The farmer taking his word for il, set
the Indian at work and went away
about some other business. Toward
noon he returned To the place and
found the Indian sound asleep under a
tree
Look here, look here shouted the
farmer, shaking the Indian violently,
'you told me that you never got tired.
and yet here you are stretched out on
the ground
Ugh said the Indian. rubbing his
eyes and slowly clambcring to his feet.

Does Farming Paw?

This is n question that is being very
often asked but seldom answered to the
entire satisfaction of the inquirer.
Farming pays or fails to pay according
10 the amount of skill, industry, and
prudence Of the operator OF course
no small business can yield as large a
gross income as one in which large in
vestments are judiciously made, yet
small business may pay larger per
cent OF profits for the amount of capt.
tai invested than larger business.
The reason why the question so Oft
en- asked, Does farming pay? Is not
more satisfactorily answered Is, we be-
lieve, because those engaged in farm
ing do not as a rule keep any sort of
an account with their business that will
enable them TO show beyond dispute
whether their business Is paying or
not, or if paying at all, how much 1t Is
paying.
If the Farmer could by any means
induce all farm owners TO begin sys-
TEN Of accounts with their farms the
present season, and carry such accounts
through the year in an ineligible
manner, 50 that the question so many
are asking could be definitely settled
go far as each individual case is con-
cerned, it would have accomplished a
most commcndabe work. Almost
every spring for the past ten or fifteen
years, the Farmer has urged the i'm
portance of this work, yet 50 far as we
can learn. but very few comparatively
of the farmers have formed the habit
of keeping book accounts with their
business. Many neglect the undertake
ing because they consider il "a difficult
thing TO DO. But ii is very simple
matter indeed to Ike an annual ac-
count of stock on hand and TO record
the income and cash expenses as they
occur from day TO day through the
year. No expensive set of books are
needed, nor any complicated system of
double entry We would only ask each
farmer 20 put in black and white what
he would like to carry in his mind
were it possible to carry it.
Ii is no indication that "a farm does
not pay because the farmer uses up
the income of the land in the support
of his family. Neither mill operatives
nor mill owners are sure 10 have a
surplus left at the end of their year OF
toll and anxiety, yet because of this il
will not do TO say that running mill
or working in "a mill does not pay.
Farming certainly pays, but few OF us
can show by our books how much il
pays us. Let the first of April see the
beginning OF an attempt TO knoD ex-
actly, or at least approximately, how
much our farms and farm operations
are actually worth TO us.
We believe that great many farm
ers and farmers wives would pe better
satisfied with their vocation IL they
could know for certainty just what
income the farm is bringing into the
family, that they might the better com.

THE FIRST TANCLE,

Once in an Eastern palace wide
A little child sat weaving,
So patiently her task she piled,
The men aud women at her side
Flockng round her, almost grieving,
allow is IL little one" they said,
''You always work so cheerilyi
You never seem 10 break your thread,
Or snarl or tangle IL, instead
OF working smooth and clearly.
"Our weaving gets so worn and soiled,
Our silk so frayed and broken
For all we've fretted, wept, and toiled,
We know the lovely pattern spoiled
Before the king has spoken"
The little child looked in their eyes
So full of care and trouble,
And pity chased the sweet surprise
That filled her own, as sometimes flies
The rainbow in "a bubble
al only 90 and tell the king"
She said, abashed and meekly;
you know he SAID IN everything"
"Why, so we dol" they cried; I'VE bring
Him all our troubles weekly
She turned her little head aside;
A moment let them wrangle,
"Ah, but, - she softly then replied,

At the first little tangleu

Our 'broidcrY we spangle
With many tear that would not fall,
If on our King we would but call

No better evidence of the fact that
prohibition does not prohibit is
needed than is supplied by the
internal revenue statistics in
regard TO the liquor traffic in Kansas.
These statistics show that in 1881, the
last year of license in that state, the
number Of tax stamps issued to liquor
dealers was less than nineteen hun
dred, while in 1887 the number was
nearly three thousand, there having
been steady annual increase from
the second year Of prohibition, 1888.
To the most ardent prohibitionist
these figures show that there has been
more drinking since than before pro-
hibition, except during the first year
of that policy. Figures are indisput-
able, and show that in Kansas at least.
prohibition has been good thing only
for the revenues of the general gov
ernment.

\ bury demonstrate that the opinions
tof the tory leader regarding the Irish
rL'estion have undergone no change or
Publication, but that that official is as
compromising and hostile as he has
ever been. In n recent address in
London he ridiculed the agitation in
favor OF home rule in Ireland, declar-
ing that the nationality argument was
insincere, and more barren of solid
sense than anything that was ever be-
fore the country. and that it would
sacrifice the first interests Of industry
and commerce TO a mere empty senti-

ground which must have recourse to
ridicule; and Lord Salisbury practi-
Pally confesses the weakness Of his

to Offer in support of it. From talk
of this kind the friends Of home rule
can turn with reassuring effect to the
declarations of Gladstone regarding
the change that has taken place in
English sentiment on the Irish ques-

that if that sentiment could be voiced
in general election it would speak
