AGRICULTURAL WEALTH.

l. l. w u.
Cleveland Leader.
We do not think that anybody would
raise a contention over the proposition
that the farmers of the United States as
a whole have done as well during the
past five years as the farmers of Georgia.
How well the farmers of that State have
been doing is indicated by an investiga-
Jion conducted by the Atlanta CO1lsti-
tuition, Democratic journal.
The Constitution made an examination
of the tax returns of 1891 farmers in
that vicinity for the years 1884 and 1889.
Of this number ,344 returned an average
of about $1,000 each for taxation more
in 1889 than they did in 1884; while 647
others, most of them owning the larger
sized farms, reported an average of 1896
each less than they did in 1889. The
net gain of the whole number was $685.
712. The average value of each of the
whole number of farms with their stock,
was about $1,000 in 1884 and $500 in
1889, clear gain of 20 per cent. for all
Applying this calculation to the 100,-
600 white farmers of Georgia-the Con-
stitutiO1l excludes colored farmers from
the list-and what do we find? Simply
this, that they have gained S45,000,000
in wealth in the past five years. They
have supported their families and saved
4 per cent. year on their investments
besides. There are few kinds of bust
ness of general nature that have paid
any better, and most of them not so well.
Money is loaned for per cent on non
taxable bonds, and even less, and real
estate in the large cities is leased on
long time on d 8 per cent. basis.
The farmers of the Middle and Western
States have undoubtedly done much bet
ter than those of Georgia, and in the
United States as whole the coming
census will show so magnificent an in
crease of agricultural wealth as to silence
the partisan carping of those who main
tain that the tariff is reducing the farm
ers TO beggary.
This is not to say that the profits of
farming may not and ought not to be
increased. We have imported far too
much in the past to realize the legitimate
profits of agricultural industry. But
this will be largely corrected by revision
of the tariff on protection lines, and the
gain in agricultural wealth thereafter
will largely exceed that of the past.

IN EULOGY OF WATER.

1t is related of the late Emory Storrs
that when sitting around a wine table
with a number of legal friends he insist
ed on drinking ice water. They taunted
him for his abstemiousness, saying:
"What is there in water? You can say
nothing for it" Picking up his glass
he exclaimed:
"How do you expect to improve upon
the beverage furnished by nature? Here
it is-Adam's ale-about the only gift

One good general rule which holds
through life is to forget as speedily as

plant, thrives within the light and with
ers in the darkness. Brought into open
view, talked about, thought about, and
stored in remembrance its tendency is to

ANOTHER DE MAND REFUSED.
A Little Bill From City Librarian Miss
Kelso.

City Auditor Lopez has been very
busy this week refusing to allow ac-
counts that lave been presented to him,
either for the reason that he considered
them exorbitant, or entirely unauthor-
ized by the law and the city charters.
Yesterday Mr.. Lopez sent to the
board OF library directors the ac-
count of Miss Tessa L. Kelso, city
librarian. for $3.50 for travelling expenses
while on an eastern trip, without mis-
signature or approval. Accompanying
the account, Mr.. Lopez sent the follow
ing explanation:
To the Honorable Board of Library Di-
rectors of the City of Los Angeles:
GENTLEMEN-I herewith return wit b.
out my signature, demand on library
fund for $3.50 in favor of Tessa L. Kelso
for travelling expenses and disburse-
ments on account of catalogue for the
reason that it does not specify each sew
eeral item with the date and number
thereof as required by sec. 2l5 OF the
city charter.
Respectfully, f. E. LOPEZ,
City Auditor.
1t seems that Miss Kelso was absent
from the city in the east for two months.
During this time she drew her salary
and it is alleged performed some work
for the library in the way of catalouging.
While she performed no service here in
the city during this time she drew
salary at the rate of $3.50 per month, Or
5000 all told. She now puts in claim
FOR $3.50 travelling and incidental ex-
nenses, and in her demand asserts that
This amount was allowed her by a
resolution OF the board Of library direc-
tors passed August 9th. The city
auditor gives his reasons for not allow
ing the account as above stated.
