Invention VS.. Muscle.

More than frequently we no.
tice the patents as they come out,
and wonder to whose interest
they can be used.
We look over the western
farms and see the improved agri.
cultural implements and wonder
if the people is to be benefited
by them. BY their use a single
hand can cultivate from 90 to 70
acres of land, making as much
produce as produce as four or
five of the little creek farmers.
..tas he goes to market with
.nvse advantages, not only filing
the graineries and factories with
over production, but with his
large production he has q fair
income even at low prices. He
has bought implements and done
away with labor, hence the ten.
ant must seek other fields Of
labor for support. The small
farmer that raises products to
pul .on tie markets in this compe.
tition must share but little from
his labors since he can make only
about One-ffth of a crop in these
present progressive methods of
farming, his best crop years only
produce him about one-fiflh of a
crop, when ii comes to selling.
The mines and factories are shar.
ing the same fate, improved ma
chinery is fast displacing laborcrs,
thus we conclude that inventive
genius is detrimental to the labor.
ing classes. Many machines are
in use with which one man can
do the work Of five or six who
must get living in some way
and If not able to own some kind
Of plant must be reduced TO a
very meager support. AS pro-
gression goes on we may expect
the labors of the poor to grow
less remuneratiye aud the oppres-
sion OF mere necessity will soon
be heavy burden.

THE RACE IRACKS.-lt is now stated
that racing will be resumed in the coun-
ty, beginning April /. The Maupin
bill will be given practical test at the
St. Asaph track on that date, and if the
track people win the legal battle which
will follow, racing will be continued
there indefinitely. The Alexander
Island track will not be reopened unless
something unforeseen occurs.
Representatives of the Old Dominion
and Virginia Jockey clubs met yester-
day, and agreed to combine interests,
not only for the purpose of testing the
law, but permanently in the event that
racing is permitted to continue. This
has been done for two reasons. In the
first place it will result in a big econo-
my OF expenses, and then it is expected
that by running at st. Asaph the sport
will be removed from some of the obi
um attaching to Jackson City, near
which the Alexander Island track is
located.
There have been all sorts of rumors
afloat recently regarding the intentions
fthe track people, but this project has
been definitely decided upon, and will
be carried out. The attorneys for both
associations are confident that the
MaUpin law will be everthrown, and
they even expect to be able to race
during the months prohibited by the
companion to the Maupin law, and to
have betting openly, with blackboards
and all the accompanying parapher-
MALTA.
1t is we'll known that lawyers have
oil along declared that the law was
full of flaws, and could not possibly
hold. The utmost confidence is mani
tested, and the race track people expect
10 race throughout the summer.
To begin with, however, there will be
no bOokmakers' boards, but the public
will be given every facility for betting,
and no secret will be made of it. The
system devised is somewhat similar to
that in vogue in New York last season,
with the exception that it will not offer
the same facilities for welching. AM
pie provision will be made for the pay
ment of losing bets. Later on, it is ex-
pected to put up the boards in the old
way.
As almost the only source of revenue
to the clubs will be from the admission
fee to the track, the purses will be re-
daGed perhaps down to $50, but they
will be increased if it is found that
money can be accepted for booking
privileges. With racing on one track
only the running expenses will be
largely reduced, as only one set of Of
MEALS H;I and employees will be necessary.
;9ho the officials will be has not yet
peen determined. Owing to the split
between Judge Martin and some of the
u. Asaph officials, it is hardly likely
mat ne will return to the track, and
!Ae position of presiding Judge will be
adiicut one to fill. These questions,
aoHeyer will be decided within the
next few days.
