AN Ohio farmer having given a de-
tailed account of his operations for a
year on $4,000 farm of 160 acres,
showing a net return Of about $500 af-
ter paying expenses, including the sup
port of his family, a South Carolina
paper rises to remark that such farm
ing would not be regarded as profit
able in that state. 1t mentions the
ease of a South Carolina farmer who
netsed last year 1886 from a single
acre planted first III tobacco and then
in turnips. This figure applied to 160
acres would mean profits of SOL, 100.
The average tiller of the soil would be
willing to throw off 100000 of this
amount for his annual net returns, and
yet the hint given regarding the posi-
bilities of extensive farming is clearly
applicable to the agriculture of the
future.

An Emotional Campaign.

John S. Clarkson speaks of this as an
emotional campaign-that is to say he
regards the wonderful popular senti-
ment for Mckinley as emotional.
There was an emotional campaign IN
1860, again in 1864, so there was also
in 1868 and they were good campaigns
too and no mistakes were made. But
the Clarksons and Platts and the Quays
don't like the emotional campaign and
the reason is obvious The emotion
all campaign is always the ....people's
campaign. 1t is campaign when the
sentiment of the people is...aroused and
that sentiment is expressed and crowds
the big and the little boss off the track.
1t is the campaign when the voice of
the people is heard. The bosses do
not like the " emotional" campaign as
they call it. They want the people
to be passive because in.that state the
machine can make the people believe
the best thing to do is to send dele
gates to national convention "who
are good men and who will do the best
thing for the state at the right time. y
That is to say good delegates" who
can be delivered against the wishes of
the people where the machine wants to
pump the delegates. The semotional
campaign beats all thef.plans of the
bosses and that is why Clarkson speaks
Of the present campaign. The people
will force the nomination Eof Mckinley
and the people will make no mistake
when they do it.

Early Piety.

D. L. Moody, the evangelist, told a
story in Philadelphia the other day
about his life before his conversion,
when boy Of IT. He said that while
he was a pretty bad boy in his unregen-
crate days, deep in the follies and errors
of the world, he never broke so far away
from his early religious training as to
forget to say his prayers every night.
ST used to sleep with my brother" he
said, "and if either one of us happened
to jump into bed without first getting
on his knees the other would swear at
nim vigorously and kick him out on the
floor. Exchange.

Most people have an idea that royalty
has an easy time Of it, but the fact
is that kings and queens, even In times
of peace, are almost as hard worked
as day laborers. Queen Victoria, for in
stance, last year had to append her
signature to some $4,000 documents.
She practically never has holiday
while at Buckingham and Windsor. She
rises at 1880. At 8 has prayers and
half an hour later breakfast, and then
works with her secretary steadily for
five hours and half until o'clock.
Sometimes she has been called up in
the middle of the night owing to some
urgent state paper requiring her slgna-
ture.-Exchange.

MEDICAL ETHICS QUEER.
The Wickedness of Advertising Depends
Upon Who Does It.

The Wickedness of Advertising Depends
Upon Who Does 1t.
The anomalies, absurdities and mys-
teries of medical professional etiquette
with regard to advertising are strikingly
and amusingly illustrated by an action
which was tried at Manchester assizes
on Friday, says the London Truth.
Damages for libel were claimed by DR..
Kingsbury of Blackpool against a
medical journal which had charged him
with conduct wholly incompatible
with the honor and dignity of the pro-
fession," and held him up to medical
reprobation" for allowing himself to be
advertised as the physician of two by
dropathic establishments. For the
plaintiff several medical witnesses ex-
pressed the opinion that he had done
nothing unprofessional. For the de-
tense several other members Of the pro-
fession took the opposite view, and 1t
was in the cross-examination OF two
of these gentlemen that the fun came
in. The first of them was Sir Dyce
Duckworth. The plaintiffs counsel put
to him the fact that Sir B. w. Richard
son was advertised as consulting physi-
clan of an institution in Leicestershire
Sir Dyce disapproved Of this. 1t was
then pointed out that the witness own
name and his private address appeared
on the widely circulated prospectus of
an insurance company to which he was
consulting physician. To that Sir Dyce
could see no objection. The next wit
ness was Sir w. T. Stoker. He was
asked what he thought of physician S
name and address being given in an
insurance prospectus. He said he
thought it was wrong. So it will be
seen that Sir Dyce Duckworth con-
demned Sir B. w. Richardson. Sir w.
T. Stoker condemned Sir Dyce Duck
worth and both agreed in condemning
DR.. Kingsbury. Having impartially
considered the conflicting views as to
medical etiquette with which the court
was thus favored, the jury come to the
conclusion that Dr. Kingsbury's profess
sional character had been unjustly as
persed and awarded him $50 pounds
damages. It has always seemed to me
that there is a good deal Of humbug
about the objections of the bigwigs OF
the medical world to advertising.
Nearly all are guilty of the practice
themselves in one way or another, and
some are as eager for newspaper puff
as the veriest quack. What an inter-
esting revelation there would be, for
instance, if the editors Of my daily
contemporaries were to disclose the
sources of the paragraphs which ap-
pear whenever some more or less dis
tinguished parsonage is Ill, and the
name Of his doctor can be 1nsidiously
given the benefit of little publicity!
But somehow the heads Of the profess
sion have got hold Of the idea that
what may be right and proper on their
part may be wrong and unprincipled
on the port of humber practitioners.
The attacks which are made upon the
latter whenever they are supposed to
violate the proprieties of the profession
by advertising" will, however, be
somewhat risky after this Manchester
case.

rb,ls Was in the Game.

"Ill bet those fellows won't have
hit of fun" said an official of the New
York Central railroad, who was watch
ing the Vanderbilt party start for the
Pacific coast. Then he added. L
don't suppose they will have single
game. If they do, and some one held
pretty fair hand, Cornelius would raise
him a million dollars, and then where
would the man with the cards be?'
This reference to poker games led to
one of the party telling a story about
William H. Vanderbilt Mr.. Wander
bilt had a few friends out with him on
a trip in his private car, and quiet lit
tie game of poker was proposed. The
tacit agreement was that the limit was
to be SIS. The game went along with
the usual fluctuations, until suddenly
one of the party caught an excellent
hand. He took advantage of the TACT
that it was not an ironclad limit, but
anly a tacit agreement, and insisted on
raising $50. W. H. Vanderbilts eyes
twinkled. When it came around to his
bet he "saw" the $50 and then said: I'll
raise you $50000" But you cannot do
that" protested the first bettor. oh,
YES, I can" responded Mr.. Vanderbilt
serenely. The first bettor threw down
his cards and said: "Well, | know
have the best hand, but canot see that
raise" "Too bad" was Mr.. Wander

LITERARY REPUTATION.
1t MAY Be Divided Into Two Distinct
Kinds.


Kinds.
It is curious how great an amount of
work a man or woman may dO-and
exceedingly good work at that-before
beginning to reap public acclaim and
to hear their names in the mouths Of
men, says the New Bohemian. Reputa-
ton is not made by reciting ones own
deeds, nor do you win your way to the
editors heart by that method. Unless
you are so famous that your name has
decided value, so that 1t may be
counted upon to sell goodly number
of copies of the magazine, or to call out
press notices of distinct advertising
value to the publication in which 1t
appears, it makes absolutely no differ
ence to an editor whether you have
ever published line If this one arti-
Gle that you now submit is of value in
itself he wants it; otherwise not. So
counsel you not to attempt to advertise
yourself, and succeed only in advertis-
ing your immaturity.
There are two distinct sorts of repu-
tation for the writer. One is that
which puts his name before the public
and makes him the rage for an hour or
day. This is secured oftener by acct
dent than any other manner, by some
piece of work which has touched the
public fancy for a moment, or that has
attracted the attention Of g critic Or re-
viewer who has the power to make
others accept his verdict. This is the
sort that Mr.. Anthony Hope and Mr..
Stanley Weyman are enjoying just
now, and which gives their pens the
power to coin words into gold with
startling rapidity. The other sort is
gained in the editorial Offices, by send
ing with some frequency work that is
steadily good and occasionally excel
lent. Editors soon awaken to the fact
that they have a writer who can be de-
pended on to furnish something worth
looking at, at the least, and his manu-
scripts will never go back without care
full examination; goodly share of them
will be ccepted-subject always to the
condition that single publication will
not use too much Of the work of any
one Writer-and those which go back
will be sent with sincere regret.

HE ROLLED OUT OF JAIL.
Surprising Adventures OF a Man Who
Made a Break for Liberty.

surprising Adventures OF q Man Who
Made a Break for Liberty.
Ted Dillon, the Ludlow section man
who is charged with forgery has
escaped from Jail a second time. Dill
lon was apprehended last Saturday,
while making his way to this city from
Ludlow, a station in the desert. He
was charged with stealing time check
and forging the Endorsement in order to
cash it. He was taken back to Bar
stow for preliminary examination Mon
day, and the same evening, while the
officers had him out for an airing, he
gave them the slip. The next morning
he was found IS miles away, and he
must have walked the whole distance
that night. He was again taken back
to Barstow, and the examination post
poned until Fridy morning. Dillon an
nounced that he had sent to San Ber-
nardino for an attorney.
This was only play for time, and his
opportunity came the same evening.
The two officers who had him In charge
left him in Jail while they went to sup
per but they took the precaution to lock
a pair of handouts around Dillon's
ankles. They were so tight that Dill
lon complained of the pain. The OIL
GERS were gone but few minutes. but
when they returned they found the door
open and foot prints in the dust, indi-
eating that Dillon had taken long Jumps
toward Doggett. The officers followed
the trail a mile and a half, and then
lost it. In the morning they discov-
cred that Dillon had doubled back to-
ward Barstow. He had found hut
frequented by tramps, and by means OF
a pair of f1shplates had cut the links
holding the handouts together. From
the hut Dillon hod gone directly to Bar
stow, and from there the officers have
no trace of him. Dillon's trip from
the Jail down the track and back to the
hut must have been at no small per-
sonal discomfort. The trail showed
that he had at times rolled for dis
lance Of fifty yards, this probably
when the irons became too painful to
permit him to jump.-San Francisco

with Hanna 2"

Gov. MORTON has signed the bill for
the consolidation of New York city,
Brooklyn and several lesser municipal
tiles, and New York will now be the
greatest city Oh the continent and the
second city, in point of population, in
the world. The next few years will
see marked changes in the machinery
by which the great mass of humanity
gathered about the mouth of the Hud-
son river is governed. There will be
changes, less marked, perhaps, but
more subtle, in the character of the
localities affected. 1t is eminently
likely that the protest which has been
made against the movement by many
of the more thoughtful and conserva-
tive citizens of New York and Brooklyn
will prove to have been as unnecessary
as it was futile. The evils which may
grow out of consolidation can hardly be
greater than those which have existed
in New York city in the past. And if
the people of the newly added districts
object to being ruled by the men who
have so long held sway in the central
municipality, they have the remedy in
their own hands, just as the New York
ers have had it for the last thirty years.

The Combine of Bosses Powerless.

There is nothing that can be conjec-
tured that would be against Mckinley
that the boss combine is not certain
will happen. They were positively Ger
tain that Ohio would not be solid for
Mckinley; that Foraker had out a
shimmering knife ready to plunge itii--
to McKinley's hope for a solid delega-
ton from Ohio; but nothing of thatsort
happened and Ohio will cast the entire
vote Of the delegation for Mckinley al
ter Foraker puts him in nomination.
They were certain that Nebraska
would not be for the Ohio man; that
Minnesota would cast him aside and
later that Illinois would not be for him,
and last that ex-President Harrison
would blow one bugle blast that would
shatter Indiana to pieces. and yet not
one of these things happened but on
the contrary every one Of these states
is for Mckinley. Now they propose to
make their last stand on the issue Of
fraud, several of them have been bold
enough to assert that majority of the
republican national committee is
against Mckinley and that the con-
tests from the south that drelargely the
products of the bosses would be used to
defeat Mckinley, but even this won't
happen. The majority of the commit
tee will stand by Mckinley and the
people and no contest from the south
will be settled against Mckinley for the
mere purpose of defeating him. Polit-
ically the bosses are impotent. They
have enacted a comedy of errors. They
are in influence as poor as a church
mouse; they have nothing to offer to
any one to induce them to do the wrong
thing. The country has settled down
to the fact that Mckinley will be the
next president of the United States and
there is now no danger of any we'll Or

es will preside over barren waste
with nothing to protect them from the

haps it might be, that, over the gates
will be set these words: What is the
