farmers in this country are showing dis
position to flock by themselves in pol
itics, the farm laborers in England
turned the scales, and by giving their
votes 10 the Liberals decided an election,
which from the vote in the boroughs
seemed to be doubtful, into decided gain
for Mr.. Gladstone
The decisive part taken by the agricul-
tural laborers in the campaign Is most
testified to by the outbreak Of sneers on
the part of Tory organs and sympathizers
like Mr.. George W. Smalley at "Hodge.
This is the counterpart Of the custom OF
some people to talk of the Farmers ALL
ance movements as ''hayseeds. F" 1t is in
tended to decry the intelligence of the
class which has committed the offense Of
voting the wrong way in the opinion OF
the writers, but it is most significant as to
the rank in intelligence of the people who
indulge in that class of talk.
1t is well to remember the rise Of the
working agriculturists in both nations to
political influence. When they can turn
the scale of national elections, they consti-
tute class that is not to be wiped out by

PRESERVE DISCIPLINE.

The stabbing affair on Grant street yes
terday morning furnishes deplorable
evidence that some of the members of the
force maintained by the State to preserve
order can conceive, under the influence OF
debauch, most singular ideas of
the license permitted to soldiers. OF
course there is no reason to think that any
considerable number of the State soldiery
conceive that their uniform protects them
in being drunk and disorderly, much less
in stabbing those who interfere with them.
But the fact that a non-commissioned
officer of the force could first violate dis
cipline by breaking guard and then pursue
spree to this criminal extent, with intox-
icated assertions of his immunity as q
soldier of the State, presents even as an
exception view of the military character
hardly less phenomenal than some of the
violent acts of the strikers.
The affair shows the necessity for the
maintenance of strict discipline among the
troops. The force has delicate and diff
cult task to perform. The necessary
impression of preserving order cannot be
made if the members for the force break
guard and indulge in disorder; while crlm-
inal acts like that of yesterday will be
destructive of the respect for their discip-
line, which is the first requisite for their
effectiveness in maintaining order.
The man who committed the offense of
yesterday will of course be duly punished
by the law. There is the additional moral
in the affair that all the force should
strictly eschew the breaches of discipline
and the dissipations which lead to such
sad results.

Favorite Author From Prof. Seaman.
CHAUTAUoUA, N. Y, July ls.-[SpeciaL]-
This week opened with the most promising
university extension courses so far offered
and certainly one of the best of the season.
Prof. o. Seaman read q paper on Robert
Browning. Prof. Seaman has made special
study OF this great favorite of Chautau-
quans and pleased them more than
anyone they had heard on the subject.
This afternoon Prof Seaman told Chau-
tauquans Of the university extension
work in England. There the work is done
for the benefit of much the same class as in
this country, the artisans, men employed by
day, etc. 1t is much better work there
than in America, as popular education is not
carried out to so great an extent there.
, Prof. NJ ses Colt Tyler began his lecture
course to-day on the literature bearing
on the American Revolution. His lect-
ure was Introductory, but was de-
cidedly interesting, discussing every
form of literary work at that time.
Prof. Tyler called the pamphlet "the an
cestor Of the American newspaper, which,
like all good ancestors, died, leaving the
work to the more robust youngster." This
evening Mr.. Goodyear gave his illustrated

GUARDING AGAINST EPIDEMICs.

1t is gratifying to note that the health
authorities on whose action depends the
protection of this country againststhe in
PRODUCTION of foreign epidemics, are be-
coming aroused to the vital importance of
the situation. The precautions taken by
the Health Department of New York City
are supplemented by a circular Of the
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
service, for the strict enforcement at all
ports of the federal law for the super
vision of all foreign vessels arriving
there.
This is well as far as it goes; but 1t is
certain that it cannot 20 so far as to give
us an unnecessary assurance of safety.
With the cholera in France, and the yel-
low fever in Mexico, every place where
travellers can enter along our eastern and
southern borders becomes possible point
of attack for these infections The
jeopardy to individual life and health, and
the peril to commerce involved in great
epidemic, make it necessary to use the
most constant and thorough vigilance
against its spread.
The adoption of the most careful quar-
antine, such as is promised by these off,

ing work; but the full measure of protec-
ton will not be reached until every city,

THE IRRIGATION PROBIEM.

Speaking of the showing by recent
census bulletin, that artificial irrigation
in the Western States cost an average of
but four dollars an acre while it enhances
the value of land three times as much, the
New York Commercial Adoertiser declares
that 'ft does not signify that the Govern
ment ought to begin spending money for
artificial irrigation" As implying an as
sertion that this is function entirely sep
arate from the range of Government oper-
ations, the remark is to be dissented from.
There are decided objections to the work
being done directly by the Government
prominent among which is that stated by
our cotemporary that appropriations
would be distributed not according to need
but according to greed" But with these
objections fully weighed, there are con-
trolling reasons why the Government
should either do the work, or secure its
being done under the strictest supervision,
so that private rights shall not be placed
under corporate control

RAILROAD TIES AND FORESTRY.

The announcement that the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has decided to take up the
metal ties in its track, and return to the
use Of wooden ties marks the end of an
experiment of great importance to the
railway world and of no slight signifi-
canoe to the iron interests. The exhaus-
ton of our timber lands and the increas-
ing price of wooden ties made railway
managers anxious to find an acceptable
substitute. At the same time the hope of
an increased consumption of the product
OF our iron works on one hand, and the
lessening Of the drain on the forests on
the other, predisposed everyone to look
with favor and hope to the experiment
The decision against metal ties is how
ever final, and it is the more so that it is
corroborated by the experience of Ger
many. In that country the preservation
of the forests, carried on in way un-
known to this country, increased the
desire to find a substitute for wooden ties,
the demand for which was in excess of
the capacity of the German forests. But
while Germany laid nearly all of her
new track from 1873 to 1888 with metal
sleepers, since then only about twenty per
cent of the new ties are of that kind, The
same experience is met with all over the
world except in India, where the ability
of metal ties to resist the attacks of white
ants, gives them an advantage.
The prospect that wooden ties must be
relied on for the use of American railways
gives additional force to the necessity of
more scientific methods in the treatment
of our forests. There are immense tracts
of land now practically useless which If
planted and properly treated by scientific
forestry can be made to yield a rich
revenue in the next generation. To do SO
will require sharp reversal of the -Ameri-
can practice of wasting forests; but the
experiment will be well worth trying

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Some of the celestials
of lower Mott street have abandoned their
favorite "fan-tan" for the games of the
"Melican man." Captain Warts. of the
Elizabeth street squad, heard yesterday of

ing craps. The gambling was going on in
the apartments of Jim Slick, who, with the
players was arrested.
Word that the police were making war on
the gamblers soon spread through China
town. and in a jiffy tho other crap shooting
establishments were shut up. Quons Pang,
who was running game at 55 Park street,
paid no heed to the warning, however, and
was greatly surprised when q squad of blue
coats appeared in his place.
There was a heavy game OF draw poker
going on. but the Chinese managed to grab
the money. Pang and eight players were
arrested.
