A QUESTION FOR FARMERS.

IT Is to be hoped that Gov. Flower
takes enough time between speeches
at county fairs and working to secure a
denomination to read over the evidence
for the defense In the trial OF the Ell
mira Reformatory charges. He could
scarcely be expected to look at the tes-
timony given by witnesses for the prose-
cution. Had he ever done so. he would
have hesitated to sacrifice his reputa-
ton as "A humane. kind-hearted man by
keeping Supt. Brockway In power at the
bidding OF Banker Matt Arnott.
The Governor will find that the evil
dence for the defense fully sustains all
the accusations OF savage brutality
brought against the torturer OF the help
less prisoners. The keepers in the SER
vice and under the control of Brockway
tell OF the sufferings of the victims. OF
the savage cruelty OF the Superintendent
to young prisoners, who were knocked
down and jumped upon. and Of the pun
ishment of those who had testified
against Brockway by imprisonment In
the dark cells, chained like wild beasts.
How do the sturdy. kind hearted, hon
est farmers like the idea OF Gov. Flow
er's protection OF this cruel tyrant. de-
spite his crimes against humanity long
ago proved against him?

THE FIANCEE's FLASHING FINGER.

II looks pretty mean for 4 young man
to apply to the police for aid in recov-
ering an engagement ring from a young
lady. but that Is what q young man
OF this city has done. The ring Is worth
$3.50. which may be some excuse for try
ing to regain 1t In these hard times. and
then again, II there is no inscription on
1t he may be able to use II over with
some other girl whose hand he wins.
sim. the hancee has some rights In
the matter. She probably likes the ring
and doesn't want to let II go. Few
girls would care to give up $50 worth
OF phalangal decoration simply because
she didn't want to marry the young
man who engaged her with II. Besides,
engagements are vapory things, viewed
from the female side OF the arrange
ment. and some girls-Summer girls par
ticular'y-get so many engagement
rings that they would have to hang tags
on them and give the young men mum
bered checks, 80 that each would be
sure TO recover his own when he want
ed II back.

SHALL IT BE BUILT

Secretary Lamont has agreed that
the friends and projectors OF the New
York and New Jersey Bridge shall have
a hearing before he decides on the kind
of structure TO be erected. The commits
sion OF experts have suggested both a
cantilever bridge with one pier In the
river and a suspension bridge as practi-
cable, and while they give a prefer
ence to the suspension plan, they do
not find that pier would be an obstruc-
ton to navigation.
The plain factis that a cantilever bridge.
II approved. will be built. A suspension
bridge will not be built, both because
OF its great cost and OF the objections
Of the railroad companies which are TO
use It.
The railroads want a cantiiever bridge
because OF its firmness, its steadiness and
Its safety. The swsying Of a suspension
bridge of the required length of span
would be Objectionable to the railroads.
They all want a cantilever bridge. over
which trains could be run at any rate
OF speed just as steadily as on the solid
ground.
Il Is 20 be hoped that no technical or
unsound objection will be interposed to
prevent this great public work from be-
ing accomplished. A mere preference on
the part OF outside parties ought not to
be allowed to Interfere with an under
taking that will revolutionize the COM
merce OF the country and be a vast
beneft to every interest except that Of
a railroad which desires to monopolize
the advantage OF q terminus in New
