The Forum for November.

The November number OF the Fo>
rum contains three articles that treat
of three phases of agricultural depres-
sions. One is by Mr.. G. Wood Davis,
the kansan student of our agricultu-
raj development, who, under the title
OF "The Probabilities of Agriculture"
writes reply to the recent article by
Prince Kropotkin ON "The Possibili-
ties Of Agriculture" Mr.. Davis
shows by review of the crops of the
world that approximately the limit of
production has been reached. He
predicts that food will become dearer
and dearer, and that in few years we
shall import food into the United
States. In another article Mr.. Daniel
r. Goodloe, of Washington, presents
the startling statistics as nearly COM
plete as they have been made, of the
farm mortgages in all the most i'm
portant western States which show
that the Independent small farmer in
these States is gradually becoming
extinct; and in the third article, the
Rev. DR.. Washington GLADDEN. re-
views the organizations of farmers, re-
cites their motives, and points out the
valuable part of their work and inau-
ence.
Two American race questions are
discussed: "The Progress of the
Negro by the Rev. A. d. Mayo, who
after twenty-five years close study Of
the problem, sets fourth hopeful con
clusions, which are very compliment
ary to both races in the South; and
French Canadians and the Domin-
ion," by w. Blackburn Harte, Cana
dian writer. Mr.. Harte reviews the
rise and explains the aims of the
Catholic hierarchy in Canada, which,
he argues, will rule or ruin the Dom
ination if it can.
Senator Cullom, who took an i'm
portant part in the work of admitting
the six new States into the Union, pre-
sents the record of their development
and explains their industrial and SOC
ial condition.

THE PRINTERS ART.

What the Printer Of 1.-The Century
Says About Changes in the last
Twenty Years.
(Theo. L. De vinne in the November Century.
Twenty years is but short interval
in the chronology of an art that i.
more than four hundred years old, but
good deal has been done for i'm.
provement of printing between the
year of 1870 and 1890. Cylinder
presses have supplanted hand and
platen presses in printing woodcuts
and large editions Of fine books. Dry
paper has taken the place of damp
paper. In many large printing houses
the appliances for dampening have
been abolished, or set aside to be used
only for rough and hand made papers.
Smooth-surface papers of moderate
price have been introduced that take
a sharper impression and show clearer
grays and more vigorous blacks than
can be had from impressions on the
luxurious India and Japan papers.
Easy working and durable black inks
are as common now as they were
scarce twenty years ago. Electrotype
plates are made of smooth surface, and
are curved with unharmed lines, to fit
the cylinders of rotary printing ma
chimes on which they produce press
work that fully meets the most exact
ing requirements.
Last, but not least, the final press
ing of the printed work, which makes
solid and shapely magazine, is done
more quickly and more throughly by
pressing in the fold than was ever
done when the work was pressed in
sheets.

The Spanish-American steamer,
Vizcaya, from New York TO the West
Indies, collided Thursday night with
the Cornelius Hargraves, off Lewes,
Deleware. Of the crew of the vizcaya,
numbering eighty-six, only fifteen
were saved and but twelve were res
cued from the Hargraves. Capt Allen,
of tho latter vessel, deserted his crew
and passengers in one of the largest
life boats with four men, although
there was room for sixteen in the.boat
and people were drowning all round
him as he pulled off.

Tho potato crop Of 1860 Is only
l22,OOo,OoO bushels against 259,0d0,OO0
last year. This shortage of 110,00O,-
600 will have to be imported, as the
large yield of 1899 was not sufficient
to supply the demand and some po-
tatoes were imported. The McKin-
ley Bill increases the duty ON pota-
toes from Is to 25 cents per bushel
and this one item will force those wEo
eat potatoes to pay tax of Sll,0O0,-
600, which is Is cents for every man,
woman and child in the United States.

THE FUSION CANDIDATE,

Mr.. Bourland's record has been
ventilated and It is difficult to see
how self-respecting man OF any
party can vote for such man.
1t has been charged and proved by
: affidavits that he voted for the Hop
kins county prohibition law, but spoil
ed his record as a prohibitionist by
running a tavern" outside tho town
limits during local option days atMadi
sonville and forfeited his good char
acter by selling liquor in less quanti-
ties than a quart, in violation of the
law. This charge has been fastened
upon Mr.. Bourland by the affidavit Of
VIM. Bradley, reputable citizen, and
he cannot disprove it.
1t has been proven by the repro
duction in parallel columns of the two
epistles, that Bourland and Dr.James,
the Republican candidate in the
Third district, used the same letter OF
acceptance, only few necessary
changes being made from the com
mon language. This everlastingly
Fixes upon him the charge that he is
being used as a tool by Republican
conspirators. The only thing moi
made clear is who wrote the two let
ters. The same man wrote both Of
them.
Bourland's record in voting against
two sessions day is clearly under
stood. This charge has been proven
by the official report in the Conven-
ton Journal and no amount of cir
cumlocution can explain it away.
In his card Mr.. Bourland declared
that he would be unworthy of sup
port, or words to that effect, if he left
his post of duty to enter the canvass
and yet he did this very thing sever
al days ago and is still actively en-
gagged in begging votes to-day.
1t has been further charged that
Mr.. Bourland, while claiming to be
a Democrat, sold out his party in
Hopkins county and entered into a
conspiracy with Waddill, a Republi-
can, to elect him county attorney in
return for being given a clear track
himself. This political skullduggery
defeated all but one Of the Democra-
tic nominees in the county.
And last but not least, Mr.. .Bourland
is ranting over the district as bolter
who is willing to sell his party and
his own political salvation for a mess
of Congressional pottage, which he
will not get. He is deserter and an
enemy of the Democratic party. Bury
him under your ballots.

THE ANTIGoNE TRANSLATED.

Professor Reynolds Devotes Yester-
 day Afternoon to Partial TransIa.
 tion of the POem-To be Continued
 To-Day.
 Professor Reynolds continued his course of familiar talks upon ancient Greek trag- edy in the Lowell Mason room of the theo- logical seminary yesterday afternoon. These familiar talks are very popular and much interest is in consequence being aroused in the poems and literature of the ancient Greeks. It is somewhat of an tln- usual sight, even in this university city, to see 8 number of ladies assemble for an
 hour each afternoon for the purpose of studying the beauties and intricaces of
 Greek drama. Such is, however, the case,
 the room being filled each afternoon with
 an audience in the main composed of ladies
 interested in the coming production of An
 tigone. Anyone in the audience is at per
 feet liberty to interrupt the lecturer at any time for the purpose of asking any ques-
 tion upon the subject under discussion,
 and this privilege is taken advantage of by very many of those present. Yesterday afternoon most delightful hour to stu dents of Greek literature was spent in reading the Antigone, Professor Reynolds translating portions of the poem and commenting upon the same. The audi ence, or perhaps more correctly speaking the class, intently followed him and made inquiries as to those parts in the poem which were not exactly clear to them. The same features will characterize the
 session this afternoon at 3 o'clock, when the translation of the Antigone will be con- tinued by Professor Reynolds.
 Before the close of this series of studies Professor Reynolds will devote one after noon's session to resume of the play, o1
 the poets conception, an analysis of the characters and a brief criticism of the play as whole. The lecture will undoubtedly be of great interest and will be largely at tended. The date of the lecture has not as vet been fixed

GIFT TO THE ENGINEERS.
Colonel w. B. Wooster Appreciates Their Kindness About Wh1stling.

Colonel w. B. Wooster Appreciates
 Their Kindness About Wh1stling.
 ANsoNIA, Dec. 30.-Some time ago Col. William B. Wooster of Ansonia requested, as personal favor of Superintendent Hop son, that the engineers of the New Haven and Derby railroad refrain from blowing the whistles as much as possible when op- posite his residence, owing to the severe illness of Mrs. Wooster. Orders were issued, and the crossing whistle was not blown until the train had arrived nearly to the covered bridge, and the station whistle not until the train had passed through the bridge. The engineers obeyed orders faith fully and sounded the blasts then as light ly as possible. Christmas day Superinten- dent Hopson received another letter from MT. Wooster thanking the engineers for their kindness and enclosing his check for $25, with instructions to use it as he saw fit for the benefit of the engineers. A sup per was first thought of, but it was finally left to 8 committee of engineers to decide what should be done, and they decided to divide it among the engineers who run to Ansonia in equal sums, which was done. Monday Engineer Caldwell, in behalf of the engineers, wrote and mailed letter of thanks to MT. Wooster for his kind remem- brance, which was the more welcome as it was unexpected,
