The commissioner of labor OF Michigan
has interviewed a large number of the
farmers Of that state upon the subject OF
profits in farming. Only a few Of them
replied that there was profit in farm
ing, considered in the abstract. About
one-hah Of the number found some profit
in dairying; 80 per cent. found a small
profit in raising cattle; Is per cent. found
small profit in raising horses; 25 per cent.
found profit in raising sheep; so per cent.
found fair profit In raising hogs. Hogs.
therefore, are thought in Michigan TO be
the most profitable farm product Of the
present day.
In considering the question of profit from
farming, however. it Is probable that most
farmers base their calculations upon false
premises. They count only the cash bal
ance on hand or in bank at the end Of the
season as the profit. In calculating profit
and loss, no account Of the maintenance
Of the family is taken. That source OF
expense. and also of greatest pleasure, is
left out Of the question. In this state the
family Of a farmer of the well-to-do class
is composed of say five members. As a
rule he gives his family all Of the necessa-
ries and good many of the luxuries of
life. They have their pleasure team, with
one or more horses, and buggy or carriage;
they dress in keeping with the seasons. in
GLIDING Easter bonnets, and fall and win
ter styles upon the correct dates; the home
parlor is provided with piano or organ;
the dining table is spread with snowy
linen, decorated with glass and silver and
laden with such dishes as the dweller In
the city cannot get. The head of the house
keeps his saddle horse, and can take a
day off for pleasure at almost any time.
Counting all of these things, and a hun
bred other items of household expense
that might be included, it is probable that
the value of consumption by such a
farmers family farm products included
is 1900 to $500 a year.
The farmer has, probably, a farm of 100
acres, with three-fourths of it under culti-
walton. His land. stock, implements. etc,
probably represent an investment of So
900 to $1,000 Upon that investment he
MAINTAINS ms FANNY IN comparatively
much better circumstances than the aver
age man Of equal mental attachments in
the city Shall the farmer say there is no
profit in his business because he comes out
at the end of the year with only 500 in
cash to show for the years work? The
city man who depended upon an invest
ment of $4,000 for his living would proba-
bly, not have 81 to show for his years
work. The capitalist whose living ex-
penses are 81, 200 a year must have $4,000
at 6 per cent, and in a mighty solid in
vestment to make 1t permanent, to pay the
bills.
The Michigan commissioner of labor.
from the statistics given him, concludes
that the average profit Of the farmer is 5
per cent. Presumably other farmers are
doing about as well as those in Michigan
If that is true, add the uncounted family
expenses to the per cent profit, and it will
be seen that farming is not the worst bus
mess in the world, after ALL

Notwithstanding the years 1898 and 1891
were particularly hard on established
railways and railway enterprises, the
prospects are that the current year and the
one that will follow it will see a revival
in railway construction. When it is re-
membered that there are already 10000
miles of steam railways in operation in
this country and that electric roads are
forging to the front, it would seem that
the mileage of steam railways had almost
reached it's climax. But it appears that
such is not the case. The Railway Age
has information of bona fide railway en-
terprises- that contemplate the construc-
ton of nearly 2lOOO miles of new steam
roads as rapidly as may be done Every
state and territory in the union has one or
more live railway schemes on foot. Geor-
gia has seventeen OF them, with a pro-
posed mileage of $50 miles Florida has
the same number proposing IT'S
miles, South Carolina has six
proposing 313 miles, and Alabama
has ten proposing ASH miles. Texas stands
at the head of the list. with thirty-one
schemes proposing 2,193 miles, and Con-
necticut stands at the foot, with one
scheme proposing eighteen miles The
New England territory has been about
covered with steam railways. 1t is prob
able that whatever new transportation en-
terprises are projected in that section will
employ electricity as a motive power In
remains much territory to be covered
Whether it will be covered by steam or
electric lines depends upon the contest
between the two forces. which may now
be said to be rivals.

more than a year the railroad commits

ton among the politicians, and there is no
doubt that the fight, in all Of its vigor,

ferred upon Florida by the railroads Of

Field and Brown believe the law is uncon-

Fuller, Brewer and White are supposed
TO sustain the law. Justice jackson is
not present. so only eight justices decide
the case" This, however, may be only a

From the Baltimore Sun Dem0.

Representative Teamoh of the Massa-

dined al the executive mansion in Rich

hibit discrimination against colored people
Can 1t be possible that such legislation is
necessary in Massachusetts, where the

If such laws are necessary where colored
people are few, what shall be said of the

SUD For slIverltes to crnels.
From the Philadelphia Ledger dndo

The silver men who contend that gold
has increased in value because of its
scarcity. and that silver has not really
fallen in value, are confronted by statis-
tics. Prior to the California discoveries
the product of gold was worth about $50 =
100000 annually. In 1858 il had jumped to
S150,000,0o0. Thence 1t declined until in 1888
1t was about $780, 600. Since then IL
has been increasing, and IN 1894 is esti-
largest product in the worlds history
Moreover, there is every reason TO believe
that this large product can be maintained
for some years to come. partly through
the Developments made In South Africa
ana partly because of processes OF extrac-
ton that make available poor fields here

The suns fierce splendor burneth low

And following close, the general

Faint sickle hangs above the plain
Studded with stars. towering Sain
or white clouds, rearing sails of snow
Like phantom ships their shadows
throw
Across the dunes
Across the dunes
The storm-sand swrleth to and fro
Up to the sullen clouds whose brow
Filings lowering shade upon the moon
Pale opalescense. The surge croons
A dirge for souls that surely sleep
Beneath the pillows restless sweep;
Faint voices mingle with the flow
Whilst shadowy forms fit to and fro
Across the dunes
Across the dunes
Our life-Sand drifteth to and fro.
In mist strange figures come and go
From morn through afternoons
Decreasing light-all for some boon's
Sake seeking. Some there be that
thrive
And pass on, jubilant; others, alive.
Shall never leave the mist but, sad and
slow,
In bootless quest fit to and fro

1t is surprising now few people in
this country who have money enough to
go abroad know the significance of a
passport, says the Chicago Times Herald's
Washington letter, and the conditions I'M
der which passports are issued. Since
Mr.. Gresham became Secretary of State
q, 325 passports have been issued from his
office alone, not to mention several thou
sands granted by ambassadors and min
listers of this country abroad. More than
10 per cent of the applications made to
the Secretary of State have been returned
because they were not in the proper form
or because some important detail has been
omitted. Passports are issued only TO
United States citizens, and citizenship
must be proven under oath. The age
place of birth, occupation and legal resi-
dence must be given, and the applicant
must swear that he will return to the
United States and perform the duties OF
citizen. The oath of allegiance to the
United States must be taken and a full
description of the eyes, nose, chin, hair
mouth and complexion of the applicant
furnished. woman's passport may in
clude her minor children and servants.
and mans may include his wife, minor
children and servants, provided their
names and ages are given. A great many
people who want passports go to attorn-
eyS and pays from 50 to IS for their apDli-
cation, ignorant apparently of the fact
that the Secretary of State will supply the
blanks free of charge. One lawyer in Bos-
ton has his own printed form and sends
hundreds of applications to Washington
for which he has charged fee II is
estimated that so per cent. Of the Amer
leans who go abroad take no passports
Women travelling alone always take them
and, in fact, the women are the best Gus
toners OF the passport division. In some
foreign countries passports are not re-
quired. They are necessary, however for
the Turkish dominions, including Egypt
and Palestine, and must be certified BY a.
Turkish consular officer in New York or
elsewhere before entering Turkish juris-
diction. Persons travelling with the
United states passports desirous of en-
terdng Alsace-Lorraine from France must
have their passports vised by the en-
bassy OF Germany at Paris In many OF
the larger cities Of Germany passports
up even a short resistance there.
