AT the meeting of the State Agricul-
tural Society, week before last, in Tren-
ton, some very interesting addresses were
made and some things were said that
farmers and others should think over.
Among other good things was the fol-
lowing
LOW PRICES RUINOUS.
The afternoon session was opened with
the address, 'Present Revolution in
American Agriculture, and Its Prospec-
tive Future" by Professor w. |. Cham
berlain, member OF the Ohio State Uni
versity, who is a fine speaker and prom
inent advocate of bimetallism. He spoke
particularly against low prices, claiming
that the farmers have the chief burden of
them to bear.
Prof. Chamberlain said that low prices
were held to be general and that when
you have to sell low you can buy low, but
he claimed this to be fallacy and that
high prices alone bring prosperity, aptly
illustrating his position. He said that low
prices bear hardest on the farmer because
they are producers. He told an anecdote
of friend who lost $3.50 on his wool and
only saved 81 on his $S8 tailor bill.
He claimed thai many things are as
high as ever, instancing taxes and insur-
ance, hotel rates and car fares, tuition 10
colleges and governmental and professional
salaries. He told how, TO reach the meet
ing yesterday, he Travelled all night on the
cars, and the nap he took in berth cost
him u bushels of wheat and his meals
cost HIM 81 bushels, so that one days
eating and sleeping coat him 10 bushels OF
wheat-the average product Of an acre in
Ohio. He added: land the butter was
made out of steers milk-it was oleomar-
garine." This bit of witticism was greet
ed with prolonged laughter. Many farms
bought at 81 80 wheat prices had TO be
paid for with 60 cent wheat.
His remedy for financial troubles was
to compel Legislators to return to bimeta-
ism, international If possible; If not then
free coinage and high protection in this
country; and farther, compel the legis-
lators to undo the terrible wrong done by
former legislators.
He favored, rs Of secondary Importance,
action in regard to adulteration, gambling
in farm products, excessive express charges
and municipal corruption.
lie said that he had no patience with
people who pat farmers on the back and
tell them TO devote their time to growing
crops and the world would find them
market. The manufacturers watched the
laws passed to sec that they were favora-
bic; had agents on the road and filed the
papers with advertisements Of their wares.
Farmers must do the came way and at the
same time do better work as producers.

LAMBERTvILLE. N. ].
WEDNESDAY. JAN. 80, 1895.

The question that now confronts the
law-abiding and law-respecting people OF
Lambertville is-not whether the hotels
ought to be licensed or not-not whether
it is right to drink intoxicating liquors or
not-but whether the hotels and drinking
places of this city are to be our masters.
The people have voted that they do not
want license, and licenses for these places
have been refused. In defiance of the
expressed will of the people at the ballot
box and of their own pledge (after suit
was brought against them) that they would
close their bars, they def1antly keep on
selling. Are the people willing that seven
or eight men should set themselves up as
above law, and run things their own way
10 defiance of the people If they are,
there is very little American "grit left
in the men of this city.
1t seems difficult, it is true, to convict
illegal rum-sellers, but when the laws are
defied it should be the business of the au-
thorties and of the law-Tespecting people
to.use the most persistent efforts to bring
these law breakers to justice, even though
it does cost considerable outlay of
money. The worst kind of training that
can be given the rough element of any
town or city is that the laws may be deied
with impunity.
1t may be uphill work TO close up these
places, but though law-breakers may tri-
umph for awhile, the right finally gets the
upper hand. The liquor sellers Of this
toaOn must obey the laa0s.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.

Only brief sessions were held by both
houses of the Legislature last Monday
night, yet there was some important
business transacted. The anti. gambling
amendment to the Constitution was pass
ed by the Senate by unanimous vote.
The committees of both houses arc hard
at work and they will grind out lots of
material before adjournment takes place
this week.
Assemblyman Bullock's Bread weight
bill was discussed before the Committee
on Miscellaneous Business OF the House
yestel day. Delegations of bakers from
Essex and Hudson visited Trenton on
Monday night and asked for hearing on
the bill. Mr.. Bullock has had the bill
amended so as to provide that loaves of
bread sl,all weigh ore and half and
three pounds each, instead OF two and
four pounds. What he wants, he says,
is the establishment of standard weight
and the prices can easily be regulated.
He contends that five and ten.cent loaves
are now sold under weight, and that 1t is
only fair that the law should regulate the
matter, so that people will receive what
they honestly pay for. He also has an
eye to the purity of bread, too, and his
bill, as amended, will make ample pro-
vision for that. This bread question will
probably cause some excitement before it
is settled one way or the other. Mr.. Bull
lock says he has rod in pickle for bakers
whom he knows to be selling bread under
weight, and he is anxious to meet them
In battle.
The Judgeship contest remains unset
tied. 1t is now between William S. Gum.
mere and Gilbert Collins. 1t was gener-
ally understood that ex-Judge Lanning
and Judge Gaskill had no chances at all.
Mr.. Gummere's friends felt very conf
dent, while those of Mr.. Collins said that
they had received private tip from the
Governor that, unless he changes his mind
over night, the latter would be nominated
to-day.
The nomination of Judge Garrison was
confirmed on Monday night by unani-
nous vote, as was also that of A. B. Po-
and for another term OF three years as
of Public Instruction.

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell TO the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned a
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause." --HoLbrook Herald.

similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
Tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims

LEVEL OF THE LAKES.
Effect of the Drainage Canal as 1t
Is Estimated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-The re-
port of the board of engineers, con-
sisting Of Col. Poe and Majs. Ruffner
and Marshal, appointed by the sec
rotary of war to examine and report
on the probable effect of the Chicago
drainage canal on lake and harbor lev
els, was made public by Secretary
Lamont today. The board suggests
that the canal is not solely a state
affair, but says that as soon as it
shall be used for navigation 1t will be-
come national waterway, and federal
supervision must be extended to it in
due time. The board discusses at
some length the water levels of the
Great Lakes, pointing out that these
levels are a delicate matter and SUBJ
ject to many changes. The report
makes no definite suggestions except
to point out the necessity for actual
measurement, to determine the effect
of the canal on the lake and harbor
levels. If the report says, 1.-THE
new outlet should reduce the levels of
Lakes Michigan and Huron about six
inches, the effect will be produced in
full in about two years. 1t is not then
q question of many years, as some
suppose"
The report asserts positively. that
the tapping of the lakes must affect
the lake levels, and then discusses the
effect of this upon the shipping inter-
ests, concluding that if the levels are
reduced three or six inches the boats
must load accordingly and will lose
that much load on each trip. "Will
the loss be six inches or will it be
three?" the reports asks. This" it
adds, lis an important question and
we have only the Niagara river dis
charge observations from which to
answer it, The abstraction of 10000
cubic feet of water per second will
lower the levels. of all the lakes of the
system except Lake Superior and re-
duce the navigable capacities of all
harbors and shadows throughout the
system to an extent that may be de-
termined, If at all, by actual meas
urements only. Under the laws of
the United States these changes In ca
pacity cannot be made without feder-
al authority, and to enable the execu-
tive officers of the United States to
act advisedly in the matter 1t is nee
essary, in the opinion of the board,
not only that these measurements be
taken, but that the money cost of re-
storing the navigable depths in chan
nels and harbors be carefully esti-
mated
