FAYETTE FARMERS IDEAS.


Captain Adam Jacobs. Jr., has the other
Fayette county farm. He finds steamboat
ing more profitable, and is popular as the
master of the steamer james G.. Blaine.
George Jacobs, who has the third farm Oh
the Greene county side of the river, saws:
'tYou can buy oats and corn at Chicago
and bring them here cheaper than we can
raise them. 1t takes an enormous amount
of fertilizer to grow oats to compete with
those from the West, at % cents per bushel,
ana 20 cents at harvest time. With wheat
at 20 and II cents, there is no money in it
here. can buy the Western hay cheaper
on the cars than can harvest it. We
farmers can just make hving-a comfort
able one-and that is all

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.

He saws land is more valuable than 80
years ago, and of course it is to be expected
that that would make taxes to be paid. Mr..
Searight says there is no particular increase
of mortgages on farmers in Fayette county.
Joshua Wonart is another Fayette county
farmer to whom talked. He ulls 80 acres
on the mud road between Uniontown and
New Salem. Land is not worth by one
third as much as it used to be in this local
ity," he said. "Our taxes are too heavy; we
plements; the mills and factories pay more
wages to laborers than we can offer, and
therefore we cannot get men; and the roads
are too bad to get products to market cheap
1y, or materials to the farm"

GREENE CoUNTY's PROSPERITY.

On the other hand, our overland ride
across Greene county found a class of very
thrifty small farmers. But one railroad en-
tiers Greene county, and that is a short, mar
row gauge. Western products do not bother
the Greene county farmer in the interior, if
they do along the river.
County Recorder Sutton, at Waynesburg,
assured me that there were fewer mortgages
filed in the last three or four years in the
county than during the preceding four
years. He believed that if farming was con-
Quoted on q conservative, steady plan it
would paw It's the rapid, extravagant and
speculative features OF agriculture that he
believes lead to piling up mortgages.
This expedition is intended to prove no
particular point. 1t simply inspects the
country roads and makes realistic report
1t simply poses as aphonographer-grapha
phone for the farmers on economic ques-
tions, and repeats their voice.

1 had thought from the first few interviews
had above that the farmers along the
national road we're more successful than
those on the mud roads because they had
easier and cheaper accessibility to markets.
But found the farms on the magnifcently
slackwatered Monongahela, with better
transportation facilities than macademized
roads, failures. Then L found the farmers
remote from railroads all thrifty.
In this contradictory labyrinth Of sgricul-
ture views leave the results to the reader
to work out. L. e. SToFIEL.

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Report of the Department of Agriculture a
to the Condition of the Crops.

Report of the Department of Agriculture As
to the Condition of the Crops.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE condition
of winter wheat on April l, as reported
by the statistician of the Department Of
Agriculture, averages 81 for the entire
breadth. The general average for rye
is 92s.
Seeding was late in the States of the
central valleys, because of drought, and
the soil was therefore, not in the best
condition, but the mild winter continued
growth until the plants were too luxuri-
ant to withstand the usual vicissitudes
of March. Recent frosts have cut down
the growing plants quite generally, and
in wet or submerged areas the roots
have been destroyed There are reports
of recuperating by seeding and renewed
growth in this region. Where the roots
are intact great improvement will fol-
low with good weather. The fact that
the roots are so we'll developed is favor
able TO Improvement
In the South the soil was generally in
better condition, and the early sown de-
veloped rapidly, and in December and
January suffered more or less from at
tacks of the Hessian fly. In March
frosts were very general, discoloring
and sometimes killing the plants down
to the ground, but not in iuring the roots,
except in wet places. The crop looks
brown in New York, but the State agent
believes it is better than it looks The
other Middle States return wheat in
good condition
The Pacific coast has had an extraor-
binary amount of rain and snow, which
have delayed seeding and injured the
early sown areas.
The average condition of principal
States are as follows: New York, SIS:
Pennsylvania, 80: Ohio, 81: Michigan,
s.; Indiana, IS: Illinois. as; Missouri
SIS: Kansas 81: California, Il.

They Must Not Neglect the Service of the
Public For the Fun Of Fighting.
TOPEKA, Kan. April 11.-Wednesday
the Board of Railway Commissioners or
dered the Missouri Pacific to put regu-
lar passenger train on its line between
Topeka and Fort Scott, and yesterday
similar decision was rendered on the Pc
tition of the citizens of Wilson, Mont
gomery and ChautauguaC Counties against
the Missouri Pacific The petitioners
demanded the restoration of passen-
,er service on the Leroy Il
caney Valley air line railroad. of
which the respondent company is lessee.
The board directs that such service be
supplied by May l. and in concluding
its summing up of the case says:
I'VE can not be blind to the fact fiat
railroad arrangements do not always,
even when practicable to do so, confne
their passenger service strictly to the
limits of public requirements and the
production of self-sustaining revenue.
Even now, while the jewellers upon
the prairie who have voluntarily taxed
themselves to supply decent railroad IA
cilities, are protesting against being
hauled about at the rear end of freight
trains, and their protest is met with the
plea that better facilities can not be af-
forded, tens of thousands Of dollars of
revenue are being wasted by railroad
companies operating in tn territory in
what is curicusly called passenger rate
war, which is species of amusement
which certain young men who are set to
conduct passenger traffic indulge in
when they get tired of baseball, and
who ought to be sent to Jericho until
their boards have grown, and sober
minded men put in charge. If this were
done. railroad companies could afford t
give people on the prairies a chance, or
at any rate the plea that it does hot pay
would come with more impressive
grace"

EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

THE order and method of presentation
determine the order and method of rep
resentation.
MOTIVES are high in proportion TO the
absence of selfshness and the presence
Of beneyolence.
The best physical development re-
suits in health, strength, skill and
graceful action.
The knowledge of gen eral relations
must be preceded by the knowledge Of
special relations.
PHYSICAL skill requires repeated vol
untary action of those muscles which
are to act skillfully.
THE conditions under which presenta-
ton takes place determine the probabii-
" of representation
The power of demonstrative reasoning
is developed later than the power of
moral or probable reasoning.
The development of the moral charac-
ter depends upon the nature of the mo
tives which influence the will
The purpose Of education is deter
mined by the civil institutions of the
country in which the child lives.
The highest type of moral character
is found in the man who performs right
actions from the highest motives.

Report of a Special Committee Of Inquiry
as to the Operations of the Law.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-In a report
made to the executive committee of the
National Civil-Service Reform League.
the special committee appointed to in
quire into the operation of the reform
law details the investigation made
among members of Congress as to the
distri button of patronage and says: 1T
is not an extravagant estimate to say
that more than one-third of the entire
time of these Congressman thine which
should properly be devoted to their leg
islative duties) is consumed in the dis
tribution of Offices"
The committee inquired into the ex-
tent to which this patronage interfered
with the proper performance of legisla-
tive duties. 1t found that in the last
Congress little more than 10 per cent.
of the measures introduced passed both
houses. OF the 17,01s measures intro
duced, more than II, 600 never came out
of committee and 1, 400 of those reported
never reached consideration.
The neglect of public business here
shown, the committee thinks, is due to
the spoils system. The committee COM
mends highly the Lodge bill for the Sc
lection of fourth class postmasters by
examination

The Kansas University Fills the Vacant
Chair-other Appointments.
LAWRENCE, Kan, April la.-After a
three days session the regents of the
Kansas State University have settled
the question of who should be Chancel-
lor of the institution by electing Prof.
F. ii. Snow at salary of 81 900 per an
num-s1, 900 less than they offered Rev.
DIR. Thwing, of Minneapolis. Mimi The
reason for this reduction is not known.
The selection of Prof. Snow gives
universal satisfaction here, and I'M
doubtedly the same feeling exists
throughout the State. In the present
state of affairs it is undoubtedly the
very best thing that can be done for the
university. Prof. Snow will honor the
institution in the Chancellor's chair as
he has honored the professorship OF
natural history.
For twenty-three years Prof. Snow has
occupied the chair of natural science
and in this quarter of century's work
he has shown himself to be thorough,
conscientious and indefatigable worker.
Outside of his regular duties he has
prepared a catalogue of over 60C
species of the plants Of Kansas, a
list of Kansas birds of over SOC
species, list of animals of the State, a
list of the fishes of the State and a list
of the insects Of Kansas, Colorado and
New Mexico, and has collections OF
these in the university museum com.
prising 200, 600 specimens and over co..
600 species There is no other State in
the Union that contains such vast &C.
cumulation-the work of one man. The
entire museum collection is valued al
nearly 81, Oco, 200.
The regents after electing Prof Snow
continued the good work by establish.
ing chair of geology and electing S.
W. Willeston, of Yale College, a gradu.
ate of the Kansas Agricultural College
and formerly Kansas man, to preside
over it at salary of 500 year.
A chair of mental and moral science
was also created, but no one has yet
been chosen to fill it
Prof. C. G. Dunlap was elected full
professor of English literature. Ger
trude Crotty was chosen assistant pro-
fessor in geology at salary of $500 per
annum-
All the optional studies advised BY
the professors were adopted and ordered
placed in the curriculum.

Reciprocity in Trade Relations.

Inc ran -Anefcan congress RECOMMENDS
Reciprocity in Trade Relations
WASHINGTON. April 1.-The Pan
American conference took up and dis
posed of the reports of the committee
on customs uniea. adopting the report
of the majority, with three dissenting
votes. those of the Argentine Republic,
Chilli, Paraguay. The report adopted
recommends that reciprocity treaties be
negotiated between these several repub-
lies of the American hemisphere. each
making tariff concessions SO that the
peculiar products of them all may be
introduced free into the others.
The committee on port dues reported
that owing to special conditions pre-
vailing in the ports of the several ma
lions in respect to the services for which
the charges are made, it is impractic-
able to abolish completely the charge
now made upon vessels in the shape OF
dues The committee recommends:
First-That all port dues be merged
in single one, to be known as tonnage
dues
Second-That this one charge shall be
assessed upon the total carrying capacity
of the vessel
Third-That each Government fix for
itself the amount to be charged as ton
mage dues, but with due regard to the
general policy and the conference upon
the subject which is to facilitate and
favor navigation.
Fourth-That there be excepted from
the provisions of article l, the dues
charged or to be charged under unex-
pired contracts with private companies.
Fifth-That the following shall be
exempt from tonnage dues: l. Trans
ports and vessels of war. . Vessels
of less than twenty-five tons. 8. YES

put in to port by reason OF damages suf-
fered at sea. T. Yachts and Other
