TOO MUCH LAND.

The following is from recent address
by Hon. F. ID. Douglas of Whiting before
the Massachusetts, board of agriculture:
An unwise governmental polio. has
witt reckless haste opened up hew lands
for settlement, vastly greater in area than
the necessities of the nation have required
and stimulated an agricultural vandal-
ism never before witnessed Our new
territory is being simply overrun, not
farmed, in any legitimate sense, but rob-
bed of its agricultural wealth, regardless
of the just claims of future generations.
Westward ho has been the cry, until the
East has been drained of both men and
money, required for its proper develop
ment. The market value of our farm
lands has been reduced fully so per cent,
entailing a loss of untold millions, and
jeopardzing the other millions of East
ern capital which has been loaned to aid
in this ruinous work. 1t will be found,
when the day of reckoning fully comes,
that no class has been benefited by this
policy, excepting spectators and land
iobbers, while the farming classes both
West ard East will suffer most. The
border farmer, who is compelled to
sell his corn at 15c per bu. or wheat,
beef and pork at correspondingly low
figures, all produced by ruinous ex-
haustion of his soil and of his own vital
energies, is surely deserving of our
sympathies. Scarcely less so is the East
ern farmer, who is struggling to pay for
his home, toiling under a heavy mort
gagged Indebtedness, while the markets in
which he must sell his wares are broken
and ruined, the result of such unstates-
manlke policy.
"Yet, Notwithstanding these deplorable
results, government seems to be commit
ted to gigantic scheme for irrigation,
which if consummated will open many
more millions of acres of the public do
main, and put into the pockets of politi-
cal vandals other millions of public trea-
sure. | ask that you, the intelligent far
mers of Massachusetts in mass, lead
in presenting an earnest protest to the
powers that be against the continuance
of this accursed policy.
"rhe present generation cannot reason
ably hope to see the vast areas, already
overrun, fully and properly occupied,
and our markets so developed as to per-
nanently relieve them from this ruinous
pressure. A thorough development of
our agriculture would more than double
our present production on lands now oc-
cupied. We may safely conclude that
these adverse conditions have come to
stay. They are not, as in the past, the
result of temporary causes. Henceforth
the question of success in agriculture is
to be question of the survival of the
fittest,' dependent upon intellectual as
well as muscular force. Old methods
must go the wall, and there is no helr
for it. The best of skill, stock and APP
planes must be substituted for plod
ling stupidity, scrub stock and the i'm
plements of departed age

1T WAS THE SAME STONE

Only the Setting Had Somewhat Changed
its Complexion.
Martin zinner. a jeweler doing business
at No. 1s6 Pavonia avenue. was arraigned
before Justice Stiising this morning
charged with the larceny Of a moss-agate
stud valued at over IS by James Giles. OF
No. 1871 Tenth street. Mr.. Giles claimed
that he left his stud with Zinner TO have
the spiral repaired. He called afterward
and says Zinnerr refused TO let him have It.
He subsequently called, and thinner
gave him another but similar stud. Giles
claimed that the stud thinner rave him
was lighter in color than his own. Giles,
placed upon the stand, explained to the
Justice that in re-backing the stud the
solder darkened the stone. Zinner was
represented by Norman L. Rowe.
1t appears that Giles rot mad when
Zinner first attempted an explanation,
and accused him OF trying 10 bluff him
out of his property. Giles called him a
~lunatic, and the arrest for larceny fol-
lowed. the charge was dismissed.

Iet a Jurr TrY Them.

We suppose Anarchists have rights
that people ought to respect, ever II
no one feels bound to respect the men
themselves. The blatant crowd ar
rested in Newark for trying to make
a row there a day or two ago, in the
confusion attending their arraign-
ment in court, signed a paper waiv-
ing q jury trial. They had a day OF
two to think over it before they were
taken before Judge Kirkpatrick, and
when they reached his court they had
changed their minds about the waiv-
err. They asked him to give them a
jury trial. But he refused to consent.
The law that under any p~retext robs
an accused man of his constitutional
| right to be tried by a jury of his peers
should be very strictly construed, and
any attempt to enforce it against a
prisoner should be condemned.
If there is any possible way by
which this sacred right can be re-
stored to a man, who may have in
cautiously or ignorantly signed il
away, the courts should see that it is
done. The jury is SO inalienable, q
right to a prisoner under charges, that
some lawyers have even held that a
man cannot waive it.
The Essex county penitentiary
authorities should go over the law
again, and see if there is no way by
which a jury can be provided fol

So few persons have the privilege Of
a perfect Thanksgiving dinner, for
the simple reason that the majority
of individuals live at a distance from
the abundant markets of our larger
cities. But for all this, the success of
a dinner depends greatly upon the
tact and talent of the housewife. If
she has the power TO hold the appetite
of her guests until the end of a
thoroughly good dinner, and can as
sure them getting up from her table
in q comfortable state OF body and
mind, she is indeed an artist, and
would probably have the power to
serve a lovely dinner, even in the
midst of q forest.
Do not attempt a grand dinner, but
have a satisfactory one. Begin your
| dinner, if it is convenient, with three
oysters to each guest. This may seem
a small allowance, but it is preferable
to the conventional sex. Have the
plates filled with cracked ice and
nicely garnished with water cress, the
oysters in their deep shells, neatly
disposed of in the ice. Let your table
be well laid with the best china you
possess, and a spotlessly white table
cloth. Allow no dingy looking goblet
or dull silver to destroy the whiteness
of the linen or the brightness of the
table. Carl Benson tells us, "Over

More Act oil vengeance.

The Davis levela Hogencamp
combination started out last night to
get square with THE NEWS for de-
feating it in Jersey City. 1t went to
work through its tools in the Board
of Finance, and it did its utmost to
punish the newspaper which dared to
fight the battle of the people against
the robbers and corruptionists Of the
Ring.
In another column the facts are
given Of the withdrawal from THE
NEWS of all City business in favor Of
a moribund and disreputable concern,
whose only merit. even in the eyes of
the ringsters who habitually express
their contempt for it. is that there is
no depth OF infamy too low for it to
descend to in their service.
From one point of view, this action
Of the Davis H gencamp-C Cleveland
Board Of Finance is Of no special con
Germ to as. We have realized all
through this fight that we were deal
ing with INSCRIPTIONS scoundrels who
are equally indifferent to justice and
the public interest. We have fully
understood that this action would be
taken at the first possible moment in
revenge for the crushing defeat which
we have inflicted on the gang in this
city.
But we have not been fighting our
W battle, but that of the citi-
ZEN and taxpayers of Jersey City, and
the question of personalproft has not
figured in our calculations except in
SO far as 1t might be obtained through
the favor of the public. That we won
that favor, that the people are with
us, the majority of 1904 votes given
against the Ring candidate in this
city amply shows. We do not belle We
that the public will like us any the
less because we are made victims Of
the vengeance of this corrupt and
lawless gang.
