MEETING WITH FAVOR.

The legislatures of this and several
other states at the late sessions made
provision for investigation of the Aus
tralian scheme for the transfer of land
titles that bears the name of TORRENS,
a citizen of South Australia, who is
likely to have his name transmitted to
the coming ages as the inventor of the
plan. 1t is believed that no state has
yet gone beyond the interrogative point
So far as there are indications the in
formation gathered as to the practical
operation of the method is favorable.
In one of the monthly publication S.
Prof. jerks, of the Indiana university,
gives some account of its standing in
the countries that have adopted it.
TORRENS devised it in 1858, and his
part of Australia was induced to adopt
it. Most of the divisions of that land
have since adopted it with some changes
from the original. 1t has ais o come
into use in British COlum bia, Ontario
and Manitoba.
SIN all cases." writes Prof. jerks. lit has
been found 10 be in practice even more ben
eticial than was claimed by its advocates.
0tncfdl4N. li4GTt HAS DeeH no co INFUSION re-
garding the application of the system 10 in
dividual titles, except in case OF land bought
from the government; but when the system
has become known il is usual for purchasers
TO insist upon Torrens title before buying
A usual effect of the system is to raise the
value of all land brought under it."
Massachusetts was the first legislature
in this country to appoint a commission
to report on the system; and as that
state has an annual legislature, it will
probably be the first to take action if it
is favorably presented by the commits
sion. 1t will not be surprising if its
pro gress shall be similar to that of the
Australian ballot reform. 1t involves SO
considerable a change that it will be
we'll to gather information in regard to
Its operation under varied conditions.

THE EDITORIALS FUNCTION.

The reason of all this is that Mr..
DANA and Mr.. WATTERSoN aim in gen
eral not to direct but to reflect popular
opinion IN their editorial utterances.
The personal element, to be sure, enters
more or less into what they write: but,
emitting the things they say for the
qualification of personal spite, Mr..
WATTERSON and his associates, with
much directneSS and color, portray the
ideas of the best men in his section, as
they would express them if they had his
capacity; and Mr.. DANA after the same
fashion. but with less picturesQueness
and more subtlety, voices a feeling
which exists in the community and
which is grateful to him for giving it
utterance.
Nobody, for example, who knows Mr..
DANA at all, could believe that his
QuiXotic advocacy of Gen. BUTLER's
candidacy i'll 1884 was actuated by any
sincere desire to secure his election.
Gen. BUTLER, Of course. could not be
elected, nor for that matter, get single
electoral vote; and the editor of the Sun
understood this as well as the rest of the
world. But as the campaign progressed
there appeared on the surface, first,
great wave of popular dissatisfaction
with the nomination of MIR. BLAINE.
Then towards midsummer there came a
widespread feeling that Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND was not proper candidate, which
grew very rapidly and drove many VIII
had at first declared against him back to
the Plumed Knights side. Finally, in
the fall, the country was filled with men
who were unwilling to vote for either
nominee. and who drifted helplessly
about, resolved to keep away from the
polls. and yet haunted by the thought
that it was their duty as citizens to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage which the
law had given them.
This discomfort, uncertainty and dis
approval the Sun ictured in the stand
it took at this time. 1t attacked Mr..
BLAINE because he was Republican
and a dishonest one. 1t attacked MIR.
CLEVELAND because people said he was
coarse man of the world. [. urged
the claims of Gen. BUTLER because a
man had to vote for some one, and the
hero of New Orleans was better than
the Prohibitionist from Kans as. 1t did
not seek in all this to persuade people
to this course. because delicious tone
of insincerlty and carefully cloaked
burlesque pervaded its most serious
leaders. But it gathered and crystal
lized into coherent expression senti-
ments with which it found the air about
it charged. 1t did not create new forms
of thought, bnt it sought to reflect those
which were already in existence.

THE WHEAT CROP.

There will be ample demand for
American wheat over the water. but it
is believed there has been considerable
exaggeration of the shortage, especially
in Russia. The most accepted informa-
ton is that there will be 64,OOO,OOO
bushels for export, which is about
third less than the average of the past
four years. But there Is a reduction in
all the wheat sections of Europe, and
not much is expected from India, or
elsewhere, except the United States.
The Northwest can only be prevented
from harvesting crop much in advance
OF all former years by the most improb-
able natural freaks. There are diversi-
fed statements of the results of the
harvestin Kansas, although the crop is
the best for years; but the Red river
valley is likely to crowd the railroads
more than any other section,

the period Mr. Hills fixes for their
final demise. Newspapers not only take
from abroad, but they furnish that
which is important at home to those
who live in other and distant COMMUNE
ties. The things which are important
at home are partly the eatastrophes
and incidents of the days history; but
they are also, in some measure, the tid
ingS of what the average man thinks
about the worlds doings and its pros
poets. The editorial page of a popular
and properly conducted newspaper gives
these, and, until they cease to have
general interest, there will continue to
be an editorial page of some sort and
style.
Not only is this true, but if the edi-
torial page presents what it has to say
in shape attractive to its readers. it
will not only reflect. but at the same
time guide, public opinion in the COM
munity where it is circulated. The two
things go together. Vague waves of
thought shape themselves rudely in
mems minds, and struggle confusedly
for expression The newspaper gathers
them together, arranges them consecu-
lively and in Ineligible form; compares
them with the standards which are re-
ceived and accepted; clothes them in
consistent habilimentS, and gives them
back to the source from which they
started. If it does more than this, it
speaks foreign language, and what it
says falls OH ears which are deaf. Less
than this it cannot do. Editorials,
therefore, are at once the authors and
the offspring of the thought of the CON-
munity in which they are produced.
They are born in the mental thrOes of
the men who read them, and, in turn,
they suggest thoughts to those who have
already inspired their production.
1t is only superficial view which,
recognizing these things, finds fault
with the fact that different forms of ex-
preston are employed on the editorial
page from those which were common a
quarter of century ago. The fashion
of this world passes away. People are
able to write and talk as did those of
another generation, and that they do
not do so is no evidence of decline or
degeneration. Sentences as long and
involved as MILLIONS would be quite
easy to compose, and there are gentle
men on the press stout enough to turn
out leaders Of the length and rOtundity
of the London Times. But the popular
cast of thought which prevails at the
present day responds more readily to
simplicity than to greatness, and finds
more qualification in perSifage than IN
an affectation of owlish profundity.
The well trained editorial writer under
stands all this, and, that he may be In
touch and harmony with his environ
ment, clothes himself in a garb which
will not make him conspicuous for his
oddly or unpopular for want of sympa-
thy with prevailing habits of thought.

should be anything in this obnoxious
to the other sex or prejudicial to matri-
mony. but this may be due to misin-
formation or its absence. But this is
the apparent impression. There was
an elopement recently by member
of this class with fellow stu
dent, with matrimony as the end.
There were no incongruities and no OPP
position to the alliance. The conse-
quent Interpretation. then, was to adj
vertise the fact that the wearer of the
divided skirt in its full development
was still lovable and elopable object;
in fact, that no barrier to matrimony
was raised in this way. A great deal
of local enthusiasm was developed, and
the feeling was manifest that the men
tai poiSe useful in the matrimonial
turbulence was indicated in the avowed
devotion to the dress reform,

Col. North, the nitrate king, has

Other fancies must be put aside, and he
is married to the lady by the pOntiff on
the spot. This seems to the American
mind abrupt, and rather unsentimental.
But in Spain courtships are conducted
at long range, and under such surveil-
lance that there can be little personal
knowledge. 1t is not particularly in
sisted that marriages of this kind are
less desirable and satisfactory than
others. Nor does it appear why the
government should manifest any spe-
cial concern in the matter. 1t would
hardly be the thing III this country.

CHIPS.

At the Saltwater races balloon ascension
was made by Louis Gregan, and he was badly
hurt in making his descent in parachute,
as has been narrated in these columns. He
took up small dog strapped to diminutive
parachute, and when 1900 or more feet from
the earth he cut doggie loose and he came
sailing down and landed in the park field.
The circumstance brought to mind the story
of the aerial gymnast, which is certified 60
by several witnesses. A year ago balloon
ascension was made daily at this park and
dog was taken up each time. When the dogs
were let loose they darted off III a wild run
and their owners have never seen nor heard
of them since.
