The removal of Windmill and
Smiths Islands in the Delaware river,
now. assured, will make a great differ
ence in Philadelphia's harhor, and will
make possible changes and improve
ments along the river front which are
likely to have a great influence on
Philadelphia's future development.
AS future Philadelphians will wonder
what Smiths Island looked like, large
photographs have been taken of it and
Windmill Island, to be preserved for
the instruction of generations to come.
One view taken from the top of the
Franklin sugar refinery, shows the
islands at their best. The disappear
ance of the islands, while necessary for
the cities commerce, will be regretted
by many who remembered how cool
they always were in summer, and
what pleasant afternoon could be
spent in Ridgeway Park, listening to
the music of an imported band, and
refreshing ones self with the cheap
vintages always on tap.

Talbot County Farmers Demands

The platform of the Talbot County
Farmers Alliance, which was lately
adopted, calls for a number of reforms.
both local and general, which indicate
the drift of current thought in this
State, and at the same time confirm the
position held by the Sun that "State
issues" must be above "any other
issues" in the coming election. The
Farmers Alliance of Talbot, demand
from the next Legislature an extension
of the Australian ballot law to that
county. and the passage of additional
act fixing the maximum sum which
candidates for Office may expend, and
their sworn statements after election,
as under the New York law. They
demand that there shall be a new as.
sessment of property for taxation,
and that both individuals and corpora
tiOns shall be taxed in proportion to
their wealth, or by fairly adjusted in
SbAAO wa aAA AVN G4CLu pbiuk AuOEbkh-
ges. They require written pledges
from candidates for the Legislature to
oppose the grant Of sos, 600 from Talbot
county TO the Baltimore and Eastern
Shore Railroad Company. Further
demands slOok to investigation ofoounty
finances and economy of administra-
tratiouj to better roads and other re-
forms, including the more efficient
maintenance of the public schools. On
the snbiect of taxation, the alliance de-
mands, it win be seen, are general, and
to a certain extent extreme in their
local demands, which are largely within
their power to control, the farmers
strike some saldtary reforms, none Of
which are more important than the
ballot reform plank, the principle OF
which should be extended to the whole
state.--Bdlt. Sun.

1t has long been known that q
certain man of our acquaintance
possessed very brave heart and a
pair of legs that did not entirely
harmonize with the disposition of
his heart; but it was not known
(until quite recent developments)
that he was a mOnstrOus coward.
1t was on going home one evening
that the gentleman in question
found neighbor occupying that
part of his house known as the
porch. They passed but a few
words in conversation, when the
aforesaid neighbor lost his tenn
per, seized deadly weapon, called
scythe snead and proceeded to
bring it in contact with certain pOr-
tioDs of the aforesaid gentleman's
parsonage. A hasty consideration
of the situation went through the
mind of our hero in question, but
he soon yielded to the natural in
clination of his aforesaid legs to
carry him to a more safe quarter of
the globe. So with a sharp cry OF
anguish he leaped from the afore.

over the ground as he never went
before, making bee-line for the
neighbOring woods, his assailant
in hot pursuit, hurling a shower of
stones at his fleeing body. If the

he was making when last seen, it is
safe to say he is now many miles
from home. Later. He has just

for the cows to eat, he had the prevailing
rate Of interest On all his capital, and he
got good wages for his labor. Aside from
all that. he got net profit OF more than
81 600 from his twenty cows.
Now" asks Mr.. Beach, "does that
money belong to Mr. Goodrich? He tells
US that he did not cam it-he received
good wages for his labor, the market price
for his feed to tho cows, and lawful usury
for bis capital-has he right to keep it?
Mr.. Goodrich has become one of the rob
Der class. He has made over 100 per cent
profit and put In his pocket that which he
has not earned. He has gathered tae fruit
OF his acquired skill and wisdom applied
to the management of his business. That
Is exactly what the great capitalists, the
cormorants, the devil-fsh, the unspeaka-
bic corporations are doing. Mr.. Goodrich
makes over 100 per cent. net profit and the
railroads don't make Z per cent
What Mr.. Goodrich is doing majority
of the Intelligent farmers of the state are
doing and all the farmers everywhere are
trying to do. Mr. Beach shows that Mr..
Goodrich has right to make all the money
he can from Lis farm and that this money
Is his due for the intelligence and skill
with which he has conducted his business.
No farmer doubts that. But wher some
body who Is not farmer does exactly the
same thing-pockets a profit over and
above ordinary wages and interest on cap
ltal-some Of the farmers call him a
robber and demand Legislation to stop it.
Farmer Beach's object lesson is worth
all the economic essays ever written.
