ONE of the Southern States has gone
into the retail liquor business, eXclud
ing all private enterprises OF that kind.
The object is threefold to break up
the low doggeries to provide pure
liquor for the inCorrigble drinking
habit as well as for medicinal and
family use and to pay the State debt
and running expenses of the common
wealth. The State makes its own
liquor and certifes to its chemical
purity. The cost of production is
81 50 per gallon, the selling price So CO.
and the profit Of hundred per cent
pays the public treasury immense sums
OF course, the liquor is sold strictly
according to law, as respects minors

those who, having lost faith in prohibl
ton, believe that the scheme will hell
the cause Of temperance. AT any rate
it is being watched with deep lnteres
by people Of all persuasions.

WHILE the loss Of the Victoria is a
matter of deep regret to the English
people, they will ever recall with pride
the conduct Of her officers and crew
when the final catastrophe came. The
spectacle of the sailors and marines
standing steady, rank on rank, when
the flagship plunged to her doom, was
not less than sublime; and the exam
pies of personal heroism shown here
and there in the efforts Of halfdrowned
men to save the lives of others were
worthy of laureate's verse. If Eng
land had any doubt about the quality
of her hearts of oak in these piping
days Of long-continued peace she may
dismiss it now The British sailor OF

and Blake, and that means more to
Great Britain's prestige than steel walls
and 100 ton cannon.

Mr.. NoRDHoFF acknowledges that
he got most of the transformation
about Hawaiian affairs which he sent
back in his first letter from planters
at San Francisco and on the ship.
Naturally he does not name these

Ned Macfarlane. We observe that the
Bulletin accepts this curious eXplsna-
ton Of the declyed correspondent with
complete goodwill. 1t thinks that such

The New York Crowd.

One OF the most interesting subjects for
profitable study during the commemOra-
tive festivities OF q week ago in this city
was the New York crowd. By crowd we
mean that promiscuous gathering OF indi-
viduals who. suddenly drawn together on
an occasion OF public turmoil. rejoicing.

population Of a great city. No accurate es-
Innate has been or can be made OF the total
number Of persons who. from tho river
shore on Thursday. or from the sidewalks
on Friday. witnessed the COLUMBUS display.
The crowd on both days was n shifting and
ch%angeable one. 1t varied in component
features. as we'll as numerically. but its
characteristics were those Of the typical
New York crowd. than which there Is no.

OF those witty salutatlons, which mark the
sidewalk crowd In an Irish Or a French city.
There are few Jokes. few mirthful ~sallies. and
no co~untenance Is given to caricatures.
There Is a partial absence. too. 1t may be. OF
that lustiness which marks the sturdy Eng

Tho most significant fact developed by
this tabulation 10 that the corn area. MS re-

the development OF which enabled the ma
ton to double tho area under corn and
double tho power to produce swine within
fifteen years. ut the end Of which time (1ss5)
the area under corn was equal to ono acre
and three-tenths for each unit Of the popu-
lation. as there was much the larger part
OF tho whole hog" for each unit. Until
this time The evolution OF the pig grower
had much more thnn kept pace with the
rapidly augmenting population. and
IL was the cessation OF this unprece-
dented expansion of the corn aero
age by reason Of the practical exhaus-
ton Of that portion OF the arabic
arens adapted to corn culture. that led the
doctr.naires-yclept statesmen-to assert
that the restrictive legislation OF European
countries had caused a halt In American
pork production and that Il would resume
its foretime pace could such restriction be
removed. although the high and advancing
prices OF the years Immediately following
such restriction should have prompted
them to sock the cause In the right dlrec-
ton instead Of aspiring to be the MosEsEs

from 20 to 60 por cent. and that tho tensnts
had lost the whole Of their s~pendsble In
come. Summing up the results OF his re-
searches, he averred that OF a former rental
Of 1926. 600, 900. about 80 per cent, or $780,
900, 00O, had been cut of: Of the income OF

while ever the agricultural laborers. whose
wnges had never been greatly above the
starvation point, had been mulcted OF 10
per cent. Of their ~spendable income.
The conclusions reached by Sir JAMES
CARD are confirmed. as We have said, by
the latest report Of the British Commits
sloners OF Inland Revenue. They point
out that the gross annual revenue OF lands
assessed under a certain schedule relating
almost wholly to the rurnl districts has suf-
fered u decrease OF about eco. 100000 during
the ten years ending in 1905 We can
best appreciate the appalling character OF
this decline by capitalizlng the loss In In
come ut thirty years purchase. A loss OF
sec. 0oO.0 900 q year In income would then
represent a disappearance Of S1.soo. 0OO. 900
Of capital. These figures. stupendous as

Quarterly would, therefore. make tho total

ia. loss is much smaller. yet the most eau
tlous estimates do not place 1t below $780,
100000. Fifteen years ago the landlords
aggregate capital was computed at 1 0.oOO.-
100000, and that Of the tenants at $4,000. 000.-

owner and occupiers between them have In
fifteen years lost about "A. 1000. 900. 1000.
1t Is obvious that this remarkable decline
in the value Of landed property in Great
Britain does not affect landlords alone. 1t
deeply concerns all investors. from the mil
llonaiFe down to the small shopkeeper. Not
only have private individuals largely in
vested in mortgages on real estate. but
such Investments are favorite securities |
with insurance companies. in which hun |
dreds Of thousands Of the middle and lower |
classes have placed their savings. Indeed,
as the Quarterly reminds US. IL England
should lose tho whole Of her enormous
trade. the injury to the country
would not be greater than would result
from the ruin Of the agricultural Interest.
