GENERAL GoFT, rightfully governor
elect of West Virginia, is not seeking a
federal Office. He has great right to
defend, and he proposes to exhaust
every legitimate effort to maintain it.
General Golf will have the respect of
his party and of the country in aoing
this. He would worthily fill any office
the administration might give, and un-
doubtedly the usurping democratic
politicians of West Virginia would well
come his acceptance of an Office under
the government, but he is not the sort
of man to abandon the republicans Of
his state and leave the field to the
enemy after they have been fairly
beaten. 1t was little less than an insult
to suppose General Golf would accept
federal Office under existing circum-
stances, and those who suggested it
knew little of his courage and fidelity.

A Shameful Position.

A member of the Canadian parliament
objects to the proposed extradltion bill
because, as he says, it would keep millions
of dollars out of the country which Canada
cannot afford to lose. This able statesman
evidently thinks that Canada should remain
nation of receivers of stolen goods.

LIFE.

To have hoped and suffered in cheer and woe,
To have trusted, betrayed and grieved,
To have doubted the things you best might know
This is to have lived.
To have sinned, repeated and been forgiven,
To have lost what was once received,
To have fallen again from the gates of heaven
This is to have lived.
To have loved, and tasted the Dead Sea fruit;
To have pledged, to have been believed,
To have seen love wither from branch to root
This is to have lived.
To have stood in the strength of verile might.
When baf1led, betrayed, deceived;
To have ground your teeth IN the rage of fight
This is to have lived.
To have trodden the winepress, weak, alone,
Of your life's fair fruit bereaved;
To have slain your sorrow without a moan
This is to have lived.
To have given the helm to a stronger hand,
To have listened, to have believed;
To have yielded life to a high command
This is to have lived.

SAVE THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

In reference to the so-called arid lands
of the West, which constitute large
portion of our public domain, Major j.
w. Powell, Chief of the Geological Sur
vey, is reported to have made the fol-
lowing statement:
1--WE visited North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington Territory. Ore
gon, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, California,
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Indian
Territory, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming
and Nebraska, or every State and Terri
tory in which there are arid lands. We
held eighty meetings and heard over 200
witnesses. The arid land that can be
irrigated and thus made productive will
include the larger portion of each State
visited, in all over 100, 100000 acres.
The work of the committee will be the
preparation of report upon the advisa-
bility of Congressional appropriations
for surveys in the arid district. There
is not much doubt that such appropri-
atlons will be made. | do not believe
Congress will ever take III charge the
construction of the bitches and reser-
Yoirs. Whoever does it, when it is
Done it will revolutionlze the West"
For the opinion of Major Powell as to
what Congress may or may not do, we
care nothing at all; but for his state
ment, as an engineer and scientist, of the
great value of our public domain, we
have the greatest respect.
According to this, over one hundred
million acres of land now belonging in
put in high condition of fertility at a
comparatively small cost by the con-
struction of reservoirs and bitches. The
importance of this fact will be better
appreciated if it is considered that the
prodigious crops of all kinds reported
in the census of 1880 were raised on a
ploughed area Of about the same ex-
tent. Here, then, we have a domain
capable of atTording subsistence to sixty
million people. Shall we give it away
to spectators and wage-slave holders,
or shall we preserve it, improve it, and
establish upon it the Cooperative Com
monw wealth?

is THE REPUBLIC TO LIVE?
Public Administration: The COndi-
ton of Liberty.

The line of evolution points to the one
method by which popular liberty and
high civilization may guarantee and
support, instead of destroying each
other; that is, by public administra-
ton of the conditions of life, so that
they may be assured and open to all,
and monopolized by no one. Capital
must be under the collective control to
that e;rtent, because it is the indispensa-
BILE means and condition of civilized
life. A public administration of CAPT
tai to that eCtent is therefore the only
condition of the continuance for any
great length Of time of our liberty and
of our Republic. This remedy is unmis
takably indicated by the line of social
evolution. AS, in following that line,
our Fathers could only achieve liberty
by retiring the Oligarchs and Kings
from supremacy in war and politics, so
now their sons can only preserve that
liberty by retiring the money and in
dustrial Kings and Barons, by the same
means, viz. by public administration
of, for and by the people, of the COM
mon means of their life and welfare.
The necessity of this change is in
creased by the manifest fact that our
civilization and comfort demand a vast
increase of this wealth, which no oil
garchy can really gain or safely hold
and administer 1t would be absurd to
carry on war by guerilla chiefs, or
individual enterprise, and yet expect a
high civilization, So, in the far greater
and continuous industrial and produc-
tive war against the resources of nature,
until its management and results be-
come the concern of the whole COM
munity, what can be expected but usur
patton, tyranny, extortion, cruelty,
waste, poverty, slavery and misery?
The failure of our growing civilization
arises chiefly from carrying on its pro-
ductive warfare, upon which we are de-
pendent more and more, by the an
archy of thousands of competitive que
rillas, who regard all they get as their
own, and who can only partially sue

decrease of $4,000 farmers. At the
same time, there was an increase of
"a, 900 farm laborers. In New York
State, with an increase of nearly 3,400,.
900 acres in the area cultivated and
fictitious return, by Mr.. Walkers
census agents, Of $4,000 additional farms,
there was an actual decrease Of 10, 300
farmers and an increase of 10000 farm
laborers.
Fennsy lvania, with an increase of
5000, 600 acres in improved land, and
according TO Walker $1,000 additional
farms, shows an increase of only $4,000
farmers as against 81, 900 farm laborers.
Ohio, with a real addition of 100000
acres to its cultivated area, and ticti-
tious one Of $1,000 to its number of
farms, shows an increase of only $4,000
farmers as against $1,000 farm laborers.
AS stated in pamphlet, entitled Land
and Machinery" lately issued from this
Office, "every State shows the same ten
dency, either to an actual decrease in
the number of farmers, or to an increase
Of much less proportion than the area
improved; but in all cases tendency
to a disproportionate increase in the
number of agricultural laborers as
compared with the number of farm
ers." In all cases, also, we find
the same persistent discrepancy be-
tween the increase in the number of
farms and the smaller increase, or &C
tual decrease, in the number of farmers;
which shows again, most cOnclusively,
that Prof Walkers statement as to the
decrease of the average size of farms,
resting upon the deceptive basis of their
number as returned by the census, is
absolutely incorrect, whether the coun-
try be taken as a whole, or any portion
of it, great or small, be taken separately

SHORT LESSONS IN ECON
OMY mo, =.

The whole capital of this country
amounts to less than three times the
value of the annual product. Less than
one third of the product itself is paid
out in wages, the remainder constitut-
ing the profits of capital, and being for
the most part wasted in luxuries.
From this it appears that if Labor
had free access to land and to the ma.
chinery through which the forces of
nature are utilized, it could, while sup
porting itself on its present low scale of
wages, create for its own benefit, in
less than five years, an amount of
wealth equal to that which is now pos
sessed by its employers, including rail
roads, ships, factories, works, iware-
houses, stores, dwellings, and merchan-
disc of all kinds held in stock for cur
rent consumption.
AS the productive power of labor in
creases through the more effective appli-
cation of machinery and chemistry to
the use of natural forces, the proportion
that capital bears to annual product
steadily decreases. Yet the share of
capital in the product is constantly in
creasing.
Let us illustrate.
Fifty years ago capital of one mil
lion dollars was required to produce
certain quantity of goods, one half of
which Tor its equivalent in money! was
paid out to labor. To-day the same
Quantity of goods can be produced with
a capital of five hundred thousand dol
lars, but labor receives only one third of
the value of those goods.
To this fact, apparently most singular
and unqusstionably most important, we
call the attention of our readers. Let
them think of it, verify it in their own
industries, and in any way they please
draw their own conclusions. Should it
look puzzling to them, we may next
week undertake to explain it in our
own way.

In attempting to estimate the popula
ton of the United States for the next
century, General Meigs has proved him
self good mathematician but reck
less economist. His article in Science
upon this subject shows no comprehen-
sion of the great social forces at work in
this country as well as in Europe, and
through the operation of which the
movements of population must in the
future be greatly affected. 1t is quite
evident that the establishment of new
social order in Europe would largely re-
duce, if it did not entirely suppress, the
emigration of her people; and it is also
quite plain to the unprecedented obser-
yer of the march of ideas that such a
change will be brought about by the
economic and revolutionary tendencies
of this age in comparatively short per-
iod of years. At any rate, without fur
Their data, it can neither be asserted nor
denied that the population of this coun-
try in a century will be not less than
1,206 millions, and the conclusions of
General Meigs must be ranked among
the widest and idlest of statistical spec
ulatiODs
