A Fact for Farmers.

Galen Wilson gives the experience of
a man who began to keep an account OF
Ms farming operations. The results
were surprising to him. He discovered
that the cash value of the farm was an
nually in the descending scale for long
time; but this season it is rising again.
This leads to inquiry as to the causes of
the ssups'' and downs of real estate,
and if there is anything he can do as a
citizen to assist in avoiding such fiuetua-
tieus. His live stock which has reached
the meridian of life he marks down 10
per cent because it is really worth that
much less; but the young stock invaria.
bly, goes up and up in the scale, some OF
it as much as 100 per cent. Here ne
drops his pen, wondering why TINS
thought was never so plain and forceful
before. He now sees clearly this: s'On
old stock lose, on young stock gain;
and resolves that henceforth he will keep
none but stock that is growing into
money instead of out of it. 1t is easy te
rid ones self of food animals whose age
has placed them in the descending scale
for they can be fattened and sold with

be disposed of, for somebody must carr

the most of them at some price. He

NO MOURNERS.

There will be no mourners for Jay
Gould. Sneered at by Englishmen as a
mere nation of shopkeers and spectators,
who consider money the end rather than
the means of all public usefulness and eff
fort We pay our highest honors to our pa
triotic statesmen, philanthropists and
soldiers. Gen. Sheridan. born Of poor Irish
immigrant parents, man of peasant
blood. of Roman Catholic faith, died COM
paratively poor man in everything save
fame, and yet he was buried with every
honor his family would accept at the
hands of a grateful nation, for he stood
as close in life and death to the hearts
of all loyal Americans as if he had been of
Yankee stock and n member of the most
bigoted Protestant church in America.
Charles Croker died worth 10000 900 and
one of the Astors died this year worth
$50. 900, 900. but the death of neither of
these very rich men was treated as an
event of the slightest national significance
or historical consequence. Crocker was
not even deeply mourned by his own
state; Stanford's death would extort few
tears from California. Why? 1t is not
because We are o heartless people, or
because we do not appreciate money

because the American people, while

THE PASSING THRONG.

Noticing a statement in newspaper that rail.
road men will rejoice at the death of Jay Gould,
g. ". Dickinson, assistant general superintend-
ent OF the Northern Pacific, said yesterday: 81
wish you would deny that statement. Railroad
organizations are such tina. there is no reason
why any raiiroa man or body Of railroad men
should rejoice at the death of any leading man
in the busineA Mr.. Gould was not unpopular
with railroad men; he was always quick to rec
ognize ability. His unpopularity WAS among
the people who dealt in the street, and think
they hardly come under the head of railroad
men,"

trust he handles and ili-got.en millions to
in his grave.
The American people have never hon
ored such men in a large way, or mourned
them effuslvely no matter how many
stolen millions they died possessed of.
The roll Of our heroes, the men VINO really
live today in the sentiment, song and
story of our civilization is the best answer
to the charge that We are rs a whole q
mercenary, soulless nation OF shopkeepers.
Our best remembered men include Wash
ington, Franklin. Jefferson, Hamilton,
Dewitt Clinton, Jackson, Clay. Webster,
Lincoln, Andrew, Stanton, Grant, Greeley
and Sheridan. These are the kind Of men
that the American people have mourned
as persons who stood for great and versa
tile public service. After these they
mourn men of honest business who have
treated great wealth as a great trust,
like Girard, Aston, Lenox, Peter Cooper,
George Peabody and men of that sort. but
We do no, confuse superior public service
and great citizenship with mere money
bags.
Jay Gould corruptly achieved great
wealth by the abuse of his opportunity to
rob the Erie railroad under the protection
of the Erie ring judiciary. He dies, after
a rather miserable life on the whole, in
his prime. and leaves his millions behind
him. He ate his cake in life without any
applause, and in death his cake is become
emphatlcally the heavies, kind of dough;
his "honors" in life were the aduiations
and the fears of persons he must have
heartily despised his ''honors" in death
are only just what the undertaken can sur
round him with, knowing that his bill is
sure to be paid. Mr.. Goulds body after
death is susceptible of floral decoration /;
Mr.. Gould's reputation is rotten beyond
redemption; Mr.. Gould's soul in life was
legend and its departure will not sem
sib!y lower the temperature of TINS world,
nor increase the tropical warmth of the
neither world.

Surrounded by Water and the Water
Afame-A Frightful Scene.
This sudden avalanche of water, de-
scending when most of the inhabitants
were sleeping. completely and at once
shut them off from the higher portions of
the city. Notwithstanding this state of
affairs the danger to the city was under
rated, no one having the slightest idea
that the flood, dangerous as it was, was to
be soon reinforced by fire. At 2 o'clock
yesterday morning, Immediately following
three terrific explosions which shook the
city to its center, great light went up
from the direction of the Crescent refinery,
located on the north side of the creek, in
the east end, and owned by John Schwartz
g. Co. The entire plant was one vast
sheet of solid flame in a moment.
Surrounded by n Sea of Fire.
The flames shot up 200 feet and revealed
q fearful spectacle which was made
heartrending by the shrieks and cries of
the helpless human beings Gagged in their
dwellings like rats in a trap in the midd lie
of that rushing and mighty water and
within the very shadow of death from
burning oil, benzine and naptha which
covered the surface and threatened at any
time to engulf them. Oil creek, now
swollen to 500 times its natural size, and
reaching from one hillside to the other,
presented an appalling picture. Floating
swiftly by on its bosom were all sorts,
manners and kinds of animate and inani-
mate objects, tanks, stills with steam in
them and blowing of, houses, barns,
horses, cows, chickens-everything almost
being borne onward with rush.
