FASCINATION roR CITY LIFE
One Of the Primo Causes For the Abandon.
ment OF New EnoIund Farms.

BOSTON, Aug. 8O-There is growing
demand for the abandoned farms In the
state Of Massachusetts,, and the state
board OF agriculture is evidently of the
opinion that the day is soon coming when
there will be 10 such thing as an aban-
doned farm TO be had. The catalogues
now being distributed as they are asked
for are incomplete in some particulars,
and 50 the assessors in the different towns
have been asked by the board to furnish
Information concerning farms that are un-
occupied. The replies to this request are
now coming in rapidly. and the board will
soon be able to issue another catalogue
which will be quite as complete as one can
well be made.
A majority Of the requests for informa-
tion concerning the farms come from
farmers Ia other states, who think that
farming is fsI. I.more profitable in Massa-
chusetts. Numerous Communications have
come In from gentlemen In easy circum-
stances who would leave the hustle Of the
city for the quiet OF country life. Under
the head of Causes for Abandonment Of
Farms" 1t is stated as followsi
There 10 strange fascination In city life
which has always existed and which leads
many who are under its spell 10 prefer poverty
and privatioD In the city 10 independence and
comfort IN the country; yet IL must be ad-
mitted that the promise that leads TO the
abandonment Of country life is frequently un-
fulfilled.
The movement from the country 10 the city
has affected the labor market In two ways; "
may lead TO a dearth of agricultural labor In
the depleted districts, and II may intensity
the competition 20 which the city laborer is
subjected, both rs to employment and labor.
The farms Of New England have In the past
nurtured strong and brave men, but it was
not because Of any favorable economic co1fd-
tions. 1t is easily shown that the hardships
and poverty OF our farmers were In the past
much greater than they are today.

IS IT A CONSPIRACY 2

The mills have been, and some are, shut
down. II one talks to some OF the mill
owners they say that they are afraid OF
the tariff reform OF the Democrats. There
appears to be a suspicious unanimity
among them, and one Is led to ask II there
is not concert of action In this pretense
that the tariff reform will cause harm.
There is no doubt Of 1t. These men are
the beneficiaries of the Chinese tariff.
Their employees are OF no account to them.
They do not care whether the help starve
or not. They can live and keep their
mills idle for period 30 as to scare the
people. But 1t is only for time. One Of
the highest protected industries In this
State has found out that after making
money 1t can shut down for five weeks
and keep the help dancing attendance,
week after week, in expectation OF work
so that they will not go elsewhere. And
yet these people say that they are afraid
of tariff reform. They have not raised
wages, yet they talk of cutting them
down. Now, IL they do that, the proper
thing for the government to do is to cut
the tariff to meet them. II they can stand
1t, the people can. They, with their luxu-
ries and expenses, Will soon go to the
wall, and, as nature and trade abhors q
vacuum, some sensible men will be found
to buy their mills at half price and run
them at a profit.
1t will not do to scare the people. They
won't be scared. The roundup will show
that the people knew what they were
doing when they placed the Democrats In
power.

HILL AND MURPHY.

There seems to be great effort made to
"write down" New York's representation
in the United States Senate at the present
time. Still we read that when Senator
Hill spoke last week he had not only a
large gallery audience but every Senator
who was In or about Washington made 1t
a point to be In his seat at that particular
time, while the converted Senator from
Colorado, who followed him, was obliged
TO speak to empty benches almost.
This does not look as II the State Of New
York was represented by such nonenti-
ties as several Republican and mugwump
sheets would lead people to suppose.
Mr.. Murphy, being a new Senator, is
not likely to be heard from very extern
sively at the present session as is the case
with all new Senators.

THE PARK.

Thousands of our citizens have seen the
Dunnell estate during the past few days
and the consensus Of opinion is that 1t is
the place for park. The Daggett estate
is wholly unfit, and II will cost the city
half million OF dollars to get 1t In shape.
Many OF the petitioners for the latter
place are interested In the land there and
about there. Those who favor Dunneli
park are the common people who have
no land for sale.

Education and the rnir.

Speaking of one feature of the Column
bian exhibition, a Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otto Americans take keener pride than
the schools. academies and colleges. The
great common school spstem is our coun-
try's unique glory. To make a display
Of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would be
shortsighted and absurd. At the ex-
press and repeated invitation of the di-
rectors of the Worlds fair the educa-
tional authorities in the several states,
aided by appropriations, set to work to
prepare suitable exhibits Of the work of
the schools and colleges. Large sums Of
money have already been expended, with
q promise of the most satisfactory re-
suits. and the exhibition space asked for
is likely to be too small rather than too
large.
