Does Idleness Gauss "Depression9"

OOoS 4QISnoSS Gauss Oepre9S1OpY"
One of the most suggestive and interest
ing of the papers which have been called
forth by the present agitation with regard
to the condition of our farming population
is that on Agricultural Depression and
Waste of Time, contributed to the Octobsr
Forum, by President David Starr Jordan OF
the Leland Stanford University in Cali
fornia.
President Jordan maintains that agricult.
ural depression" in this country is due
chiefly to the idle habits of many of our
farmers.
By way Of illustration Of this theory he
cites his experience one day when the train
in which he was travelling stopped at a
little town in Indiana called Cloverdale.
There he says "a commercial traveller,
dealing in groceries and tobacco, got Off; a
crate OF live chickens was put on; and the
cars started again. In that village the stop
ping of train was no rare sight, for it hap
pens two or three times every day. The
people had no welcome for the commercial
traveller, no tears were shed over
the departure of the chickens.
Yet on the station steps | counted
forty men and boys who were there when
the train came in-farm boys. who ought to
have been at work in the fields; village
boys, who might have been doing some
thing somewhere, every interest of econ
omics and aesthetics alike calling them
away from the village, and Off to the
farms. Two men attended to all the BUSH
ness of the station, the solitary passenger
went his own wav. The rest were there
because they had net the moral strength to
go anywhere else They stood there on the
station steps, embodied ghosts. dad to all
life and hope, with only force enough to
stand around and CAPE"
This state of affairs President Jordan
regards as typical of that which very gen.
orally prevails in those farming districts
where depression" is most complained of.
Industry is about the best tonic he finds
that can be safely recommended as remedy
| for that economic disorder. IL the farmers
are externally vigilant" in the watchfulness
and constant promotion of their individual
| interests, ne expresses the belief that they
! will prosper
That farmers are sometimes measurably
| nAndlcappeu Dy oppressive laws anu DAD
roads he does not deny. Blu. he regards
these evils as merely incidental, and believes
that in the due course of time they will re-
dress themselves.
There is a great deal of sound reason and
food for thought in these views OF the
learned gentleman. At the same time the
farmer might very properly take hand in
the desired redressiug without SO neglacting
his farm affairs as to produce the dread
depression"

More Help for Mira. Maybrick.

Mrs. Maybrick, an American woman, was
found guilty in England some time ago Of the

Repud!ated by His Party.

Hon. John J. ingalls, appears to have lost
favor with the republicans Of his own state
The republican organs of Kansas no longer
speak of him in epIogstic language. They
are glad apparently that the farmers alli-
ance rose up and knocked him out of the
political arena.
The Kansas republican state central COM
mittes has been trying for weeks to get him
to take the stump in behalf Of his party, but
without success. He either he's no further
use for the Republican party and has for
gotten past favors or the committee does
not offer him money enough. 1t may be
that he is afraid Of the alliance. At
any rate the regard which the
Kansas republicans once had for him is fast
turning into contempt, if what the Topeka
Capital, the official state paper and re-
publican organ, says of him expresses their
views. That paper speaking OF him in
recent editorial article said: THAT he is not
a leader to-day is more due to the supreme
egotism and cold-blooded selfishness OF the
man than his lack Of ability. forgetting the
gallant, self-saerifoing fight of his party
that went down to defeat with him. This
supreme worshiper OF himself turned his
back upon the political friends of quarter
of a century, as well as upon those who laid
aside their convictions against him and
gave him loyal support No man in
