AS the boat was considerably in debt
with pro spects that she would not work her
way out soon, Longworth had no trouble
IN buying claim against her, and when
she rounded to at the Cincinnati wharf a
sherln was on hand, and without any un-
necessary ceremony ed her TO the
wharf log. Other creditors hearing OF the
state OF affairs swooped down like u flock of
buzzards, and Wakefield, seeing that his
mission was ended. quietly stepped down

subsequ ently prospsred.
John Hough, pursued by the fear of fall
ing under the paw of the weathlest man of
the west, had no rest for the soles of his feet

business ability he had by this time anassed

Ii there is such law of diminishing re-
turns in the case of manufacturing, its be-
ginning point has not yet been observed.
The improvements in the mechanic arts
nave been so great, and the advantages of
extensive cooperation of labor and capital
80 manifold that the yield of these indus
tries does not seem to be limited in the way
that of agriculture is. Even if there had
been, therefore, as great fall in the price
OF manufactured articles as there has been
In that of agricultural products, that fact
would not necessarily imply any loss on
the part of those engaged in manufacture.
The observed decline of agricultural
prices argues great loss to agriculturists.
10 whatever cause men may attribute the
fall In prices, it appears that agriculture
has been the most iniuriously affected.
The farmers are aware of this. They are
IN debt, and feel that as class they have
been uniustly dealt with.
They demand that the government shall
come to their aid and in such way that
one part of the famous Licinian Rogation
OF early Rome seems about to be initiated.
The oppressed plebeians, overwhelmed with
debt and in the power of the prtricians,
secured the enactment of a law, which pro-

debts on which interest had been met, the

To-day the farmers are demanding an in
crease in The volume of the currency, so
that each dollar shall purchase less and
hence be more easily earned. With these
cheapened dollars they propose to pay off
their present debts. But even if this is
done. the cause Of the farmers industrial
depression will continue. The weight of
tariff taxes will still be burden to
them. The purchasing power of what
they have to sell will be increased so
far as money is concerned, by an
expansion of the currency, but the amount
OF goods OF all kinds that they can buy with
their crops will not be increased by cheaper
money. The cause of their poverty would
remain to plague them even if they should
Tighten little the weight of their present
debts by greater abundance of money.
Such temporary advantage as an increase
In the amount of money in circulation

Offset by disadvantages that always follow

the greatest cause of agricultural depres-

As A rule legislatures do not compliment
newspapers. Rather do they take pleasure
in saying mean things about the journals
which report their doings. The Omaha
World Herald, however, seems to have
''made mash" as it were, on the Ne
braska solons, for one day last week the
following resolution was odopted in the
house without a dissenting vote: RE
solved, That we send greeting to the Omaha
World Herald, and gratefully acknowledge
our appreciation of the splendid conduct of
that great newspaper in the recent battl e
between the corporations and the people,
The same day sixteen members of the SEN
ate sent telegram of thanks to the paper
named. 1t is not to be wondered at if the
2roprietors and staff of the big Omaha
iaily are little proud.

ETHICS OF NATIONS.

We see nothing Inherently improbable in
the story that BISMARCK proposed to Ma
PoLEoN III that they practically divide
Europe up between them. The story may
be all myth as the great majority of such
stories are; but in the light of history we
cannot observe that such a proposition
would have been anything unusual in the
dark course Of European diplomacy and
warfare Indeed, if the parts of European
history that depended upon just such agree
ments as this were to be Omitted from the
long and disgraceful record, there would be
little history left. The fact that Prussia
and France were commonly foes to each
other does not preclude by any means the
making Of such an arrangement as that
which we are considering. The present
understanding" between France and Rus
STA, if such there be, is an example of this
kind. The agreement between the en-
perors after Tilsit, alliance of France with
Turkey in the time of the cunning FRANCIS
are great examples, while less conspicuous
ones are found on almost every page of
history.
1t may be said that plots for dismember-
ment are not modern but medieval prac-
tice; but the dismemberment of Poland
through such a plot is a sample of modern
honor among thieves. In fact, we are in
clined to believe that the present genera
ton is not much better than its predeces
sors in the matter of overthrowing the
weak and depressing the unfortunate 1t
is just as true today as it ever was, that
any power that has the opportunity will
not be found wanting in the taste for self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Any party, faction or
power has a strong and apparently irresist-
ible tendency to become despotic unless it
deems tyranny unsafe. 1t is division of
power, Of parties, of creeds. that protects
the weak to-day, more than any humane
desire on the part Of the strong to let them
alone. The kingdoms of Europe check one
another, and every time this balance of
power" is disturbed, then some of the weak
must go to the wall. And the main reason
that each government in Europe is less a
despotism than any in Asia, is not because
the people of the former were so much bet
ter than those Of the latter, but because
they were SO much more divided up into
warning sects, societies, schools and inter-
ests. Each element being strong enough to
make itself respected, there came to be
broader guarantees of rights than would
have been possible were European nations
homogeneous like the Asiatics.

ages, Alabama loses 100000, Tennessee and
North Carolina 10000 each, and Virginia,
Kentucky and Louisiana 100000 each. In
the states of the north and west the federal
census exceeds the school census by about
100000, while in those Of the south the
school census exceeds the federal census by
100000. II we assume that in each state

1t is annoying that while the general be-
lief is that the census is grossly incorrect,
and that states have been Disseminated

the harm cannot be remedied for ten years.

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.

There is much reason for believing that
the demand for free coinage on the part of
the farmers is nothing less than a demand
TO be relieved of portion of their debt by
paying it in cheaper money. If farmer
owed thousand dollars fifteen or twenty
years ago and has since paid off one-half of
II, he still owes almost as much as he
originally did, because of the cheapening of
farm products in the meantime. That is.
1t Will require nearly as many bushels of
grain, Tor example, TO pay off the remain
ing $500 as it would have required to paw
off the original $1,000 at the time he bor-
rowed 1t. This cheapening applies to almost
allfarm products, but does not apply in the
same degree to the products of manufac-
ture. Farm land has cheapened in many
places, but not universally, while real es-
tate in or near cities has in general under
gone an immense advance in price. Nor
have manufactured products or the rates of
transportation cheapened in anything like
the ratio the farm products have. And
even in the case of articles usually classed
as farm products, such as -four. in which
manufacture enters to a certain extent. the
price has apparently not fallen SO much as
that of purely agricultural produce.
Now, 1t has been shown by the re-
searches OF statistici ans, that the yield of
agriculture does not increase in the same
ratio with every increase of labor and
capital expended. If farm yields thirty
bushels Of wheat to the acre, for example.
it is rarely possible to make it yield sixty
bushels per acre by doubling the work per-
formed upon il. Still less is it possible 70
make the land yield 100 bushels per acre bv
again doubling the work performed upon
it. The yield of land soon ceases to be pro.
portionate to the amount expended upon il.
In this respect it las been compared to a
rubber band, each increase of its length by
stretching it requiring SUCCESSFULLY q
greater and greater proportionate power.
The yield refusing to increase in proper.
ton to the labor and capital expended a
name has been given to the phenomenon
which is called the law of diminishing re-
turns Of agriculture. The result of this
law has been that the price of the great
staples of agriculture, maintains a some.
what uniform average price from one de-
cade to another, notwithstanding the con-
siderable fluctuations that occur from one
season to another. So nearly uniform has
been the price of the cereals for several
centuries that many have advocated their
adoption as the standard OF deferred pay

Lynched for Lying.

DEFIANCE, o., Feb. 25.-Last Satur-
day Janitor VIII, of the public school,
testified before the school board that
he had seen Superintendent of Schools
Butler have criminal intercourse with
three of the lady teachers in school
The assistant janitor testified that he
was present and saw the same thing
through hole IN the ceiling. At Sat
urday's session of the school board 1t
was proved beyond question that
Wills testimony was false and for the
purpose of running Butler, who had
reported him for neglecting his duty.
Both the janitors were discharged.
When the facts became known there
was much excitement, and last night a
mob visited them. This morning the
body of Will was found with his
throat cut and head crushed lying
near the railroad tracks. The assist
ant janltor cannot he found and Is
thought to be dead. Friends of both
parties are on the street armed and
excitement runs high. The local mil
tia have been called on and are ready
for duty.

The stage was bedecked with the fin

A Prominet Visitor.


Telegram Of Tuesday.
Mr.. T. p. O'Connor, NJ. P, who
came to the United States about four
months ago, and expects to return to
the British Isles week from to-mor-
row, paid Superior visit to-day. Mr..
O'Connor has large private interests in
this country, and is associated with a
party Of English capitalists who are
doing considerable in the way of real
estate specializing. They are very
shortly, by the way, to give Superior
some attention.
But it is as very prominent journ-
alist and home ruler that Mr.. O'Con-
nor is better known in this country,
and he chatted freely about the Irish
situation TO small party of Superior
ties this morning. Said he:
My position on the Irish division is
very we'll known, and no secret at all.
. Y gu know that had Mr.. Parnell, in the
first place when the OShea matter
went against him, came out in
straightforward way and resigned the
leadership, he would not have forfeit
ed his position. There would be a
nominal leader in his place, but Mr..
Parnen would have been the real
leader. As it is Mr.. Parnell refused
to get out Of the nations way, and
sacrifices everything for his personal
ends.
"Mr. Parnell may say that the English
party is debating to us, but that is all
| trash We recognize that So Irish
members out of CTS can do nothing
without assistance, hence, when we
train with Mr.. Gladstone we are recog-
niZing public sentiment and are not
being dictated to by anybody. Ny
position is against Parnell, and in the
end We will obtain home rule for Ire
land, and peace for her people and her
homes"
Mr.. O'Connor is accompanied by Mr.
O'Farreil of Tocoma Wash, and both
of them will hereafter swear by Super
ior, and as he is not only prominent
in politics but the owner and publish
er of a London daily, his good opinion
of the city is likely to rebound to its
benefit.

When we went to press last week
the jury was out considering the case
of State VS.. Dwyer, charged with the
murder of Mr.. Mundy in September
last. When the jury came in they
brought in a virdict of not guilty.
That it was beautiful case of white
wash is the opinion OF the public.
That Mr.. Mundy was struck blow on
the head which killed him there is no
reason to doubt. Who struck the blow
we cannot of course saw Whether the
death blow was from the fist of man
or from a slung-shot or other sub
stances, is also left in the dark. We
have heard one prominent witness say
since the trial, the jury thinks he fell
and killed himself, but he was struck
on the head, and he was not struck
with mans fist either" There has
been great deal of mystery about this
case from the hour the blow was struck
to the close Of the trial and the public
knows very little about the facts in the
case as yet.
