Minneapolis Journal: The area in
corn, wheat, oats and cotton, the four
principal agricultural products in the
United States, has increased since
1879 from 12s,OOO,000 acres to 1885,
100000 or 100000. This increase
is IL larger area than the three north
ern New England states. Further
calculation by the statistician of the
department of agriculture shows that
if the increase in all titled grass land
has kept pace with that of the four
crops named the total area in i'm
proved farms must have advanced
from 2S5,O00,O0O acres in 1879 to
366,OOO,OOO, or an increase Of the
area in farms almost equal to the en-
tire territory comprising all the New
England states, New York and New
Jersey.
These certainly are interesting
facts when taken in connection with
the generally accepted theory that
the city population and city indus
tries are outstrippiny in growth
the development Of agricultural re-
sources of the country. Perhaps
agriculture has kept pace with manu-
features and commerce. The next
census will tell some exceedingly in
teresting stories, and one of them will
relate to this point of the relative de-
ve|opnent of varioV industries.

A special committee WAS appointed
BY Gov. Merriam to inquire into the
abuses Mt the Rochester Insane Asy-
lam, especially concerning the
Coombs affair. The committee has
been in session several days, and
there is q general impression that the
result will be the exhoneration Of DR..
Bowers. II the doctor has been cor
nctI Supported it should never be
done. He knew Of the murder OF
Coon,bs, and his first excuse for not
reporting it was that it slipped his
mind" since then he has stated that
he did not report it for fear it would
bring discredit on the institution that
he had labored to build up. He has
shown 10 appreciation Of the fact
that murder is 4 crime, and that it is
also criminal to conceal murder. I;
he is not brought before : court on
the charge Of concealing the murder

scial influence Is great enough to

A recent Paris letter describes the
educational exhibit at the Paris ex-
position, and the display from this
country is not credited among the
first. Within the last decade i
marked change has been taking place
in the ideas Of educators, with regard
to the methods aud objects Of school
training. The idea Of an exclusive
literary training has been succeeded
by the belief in a more practical
education where mind training is ac-
companied by training Of the eye and
hand. The exhibits of France and
Bilgum shows that this has been
carried out successfully, and that the
educators of this country have follow
ed in the wake Of these countries is
shown by the interest that has been
manifested in kindergartens, manual
training and scientific schools for the
past few years, but as yet we are far
behind some Of the European countries
in making the public schools Of the
greatest practical value to our youth.
England is behind the United States
in this matter, while Japan's exhibit
is Il wonderful surprise. As our
centennial exposition was the means
of awakening our people artistically
the present opportunity Of comparison
afforded by the collection ofeducation
exhibits in Paris will be likely to
prove Of advantage to our youth in a
more practical way.

New York Herald: We observe a
great hullabaloo about the prodigious
number Of postmasters removed by
Mr.. Clarkson? We suppose he is
not turning out Republicans =? And
if he is removing Democrats, pray
how did such a prodigious number Of
them get in? Mr.. Cleveland was in
Office only four years. His was a
civil service reform administration.
Isit possible that he or his Postmaster
General removed a prodigious num-
Der Of Republicans and put in the
Democrats whose heads are now
getting cut of, to the distress Of the
bowling dervishes Of civil service
reform? "a .z$ sz .. :5..E
The good cause Of civil service reform
gets its constant black eye from the
reformers themselves. The general
public is not blind, and it sees so
much disingenuousness, 50 much
bitter partisanship, SO little practical
sense among the reformers that it
thinks less Of the reform than that
deserves. Therefore it is that this
this reform has gone backward, as
Mr.. Curtiss confessed it had. II
Mr.. HARRISON is sure to make some
mistakes in his appointments; every
President does. He is giving more
time to office-seekers than we wish he
would, but not more than Mr.. Cleye-
land gave to the same class. He is,
getting abused by the oflice-seeking
class and by the civil service REFORM
.ers just as Mr.. Cleveland was, one
shouting that he is too slow and the.
other that he is too fast. But mere

bined forces 81 the politicians and
