Fatal Fire iu Pittsburg.

About II O'Clock last night fire broke
out in Wasser's row, Eden Alley, near
Forty-first street, Pittsburg, and five
members of the family of Wolf Kuper-
man-his wife, three children, and his
rother-in-law-were all frightfully
burned, and three of them are expected
to die as a result of their injuries. They
were removed to the West Penn Hospi-
tai for treatment.
PITTsBURG, March 1.-Two deaths

A BIG STEAL PREVENTED.

Governor Ferry has done another i'm
portant service to the state by yetoing in
a very practical way the geological sur
vey" job. Hefinds that the appropriation
of $4,000 is "illegal and unconstitutional, :"
and will see to it that the bills that have
been contracted in his absence by the too
hasty lieatenant governor are not paid out
of the state funds. The public will be
less concerned with the technical
grounds of this Judgment than with
the Judgment itself. They will be
rejoiced to know that the governor
has found way to kill a scheme which
was gotten up as means of looting the
state and which was imposed upon the
legislature, which did not comprehend
the mischief it was doing. The governor
is gradually working the state govern
ment back into legitimate channels
and into honest ways, and another month,
it is hoped, will see it well cleaned out and
thoroughly fumigated.

The city of Sacramento, the capital of
california. is probably the worst saloon
ridden city in the world. While the state of
kansas has one saloon to every 500 of pop
Iulation, Iowa one 10 every $40, Pennsyl-
yvania one to 400, New YORK one TO 30,
fohio one to go. and California one to lis,
the capital city of the latter state can make
[the unenviable boast of supporting one
saloon TO each 81 of her total population.

and generous food supply. Another is
mentioned who owns seven farms, whose
former owners were unable TO keep even in
working them. and he would cheerfully
pay 5000 to $500 year and subsistence
to an educated. competent person to take
charge and management of them.
Thus. perhaps. what has been regarded
as an evil from one point of view may
prove benefit in other and important
particulars. The tendency to glut the
learned profession is becoming almost
alarming. A large majority of the re-
cruits can hardly hope for more than a
precarious livelihood, while their swelling
of the ranks cannot but be damaging to
those already established. On the other
hand. the diversion OF educated and
specially qualified young men into fields
of agricultural development gives promise
of not only inviting them into healthful
and invigorating employment in which
their brains and qualifications may have
full play, but also of making that profitable
which previously was carried on at loss
or with inadequate gain.

LOCALIZED BARBARIsM.

Charles Kroekel, aged IL years, who has
respectable parents and bright. innocent
looking baby face, is a convict in the New
Jersey state prison. under sentence of
one year at hard labor. He wears the
prison uniform and has to march the lock-
step with hardened criminals. He is a
deaf mute, with mania for lock picking,
in which he commenced his career. at 9
years of age, and it is said thst Re can
pick any lock he can get>koid of.
At first he was indifferent about the
locks ne w29S pick, but lately has de-
yeioped f~iecided preference for those that
secqp valuables, which he does not hest
to appropriate. 1t is clear that he
; uld not be allowed TO run at large and
pursue these depredations, and that he
should be kept under surveillance, but his
consignment to hard labor in a state
prison, or to prison life with hardened
criminals under any conditions can only
be regarded as a monstrous piece of bar
barism and disgace to our boosted ciyili-
zation. Certainly such treatment can
have no reformatory effect, nor result
otherwise than in hardening its victim
and all who behold il.

EpucATIoN AND FAKMING.

One of the principal objects Of the State
University of Ohio has been to educate the
sons of farmers with main reference to fit
ting them for an intelligent, educated de-
yelopment of the agricultural resources Of
the land to their utmost capacity. But, as
in many other institutions conducted on
like principles, nearly all of the students
1.-The learned professions" and become law
yers, doctors or ministers.
To such an extent has this been the
practice in the Ohio institution that the
trustees have addressed themselves to the
problem of devising some means for in
ducing this and other classes of their
students to take an interest in agricul-
tural science with a view to the adoption
of farming as vocation. To that end
they have appointed committee of their
number to accompany the President of
the University on a tour of similar institu-
tions in other states, and compare notes as
to the most feasible methods for further
ing these ends.
Commenting on the action of the trus-
tees, the Cincinnati Times-Stdr notes
changing condition in the ownership of
agricultural lands, and consequent chang
ing methods in farm management that
promise to greatly promote the objects of
the trustees and simplify the problem with
which they have to deal. 1t Is assumed
that the preference for the professions
rather than for farming is mainly attribut-
able to the larger emoluments that may
be expected or hoped for in the former
But il is claimed that the changes noted,
and which are recognized as quite general
throughout the country, especially in the
older states, are opening up more inviting
fields of agricultural pursuits for educated
and ambitious young men.
The narrow profits of farming on a small
scale, and the consequent financial straits
of many who have been engaged in it,
have been throwing many such small es-
tates into consolidated holdings. The
capitalists into whose hands these null
tiplied small estates have fallen, are in
larger proportion adopting the idea that
the same principles which make the differ
ence between success and failure in other
large business enterprises, are applicable
TO agriculture.
This implies the employment of men in
the superintendent and handling of their
estates who are possessed of something
more than mere Drawn and physical en-
durance. 1t implies necessity for men Of
brains. education, and especially of trained
technical knowledge. And this implies. as
in other occupations requiring these quail
idcations a higher and more tempting
scale of emoluments.
In support Of this view the Tines-Sar

quarterly gross sales. This is very prop
crly condemned as discrimination in
favor of the most Objectionable Of these
concerns. the dives and other low and vile
places which the well-approved system of
high licensees high as the traffic can
bear--contributes to stamp out of ex-
istence.
In Sacramento, no doubt, as in Seattle
and elsewhere, the proprietors Of the
more orderly resorts, from selfish consider
atoms If from none of higher character,
are quite willing to pay a license so high
as to effectually close out these low dens
Of vice in which the gross sales are almost
wholly profit, and in which the business
over the bar is but a cover for fleeing their
patrons by other and even less legitimate
methods.
1t is certainly surprising that in city
like Sacramento, in view of the cumula-
tive evidence from all quarters that fixed
standard of high license has increased
revenue. reduced the number and elevated
the character Of saloons. promoted public
order and reduced taxation. there is not
SHDAEh VI bctCnt courageous phbh|
opinion to frown down any such PROPOSE
ton as is contained in the pending ordi-
nance. And it is passing strange that the
authorities of such a city should dare or
care to present or seriously consider a pro-
position so monstrous.
If, after the eloquent protest Of the
Record Union, and its unanswerable argu-
ments, the ordinance shall pass, it will be
fair notice to order-loying people elsewhere
to give Sacramento wide berth in solicit
ing home for themselves and families.
