THEY DON'T FUSS ANY MORE.

G. Il. Green, chairman of the Board
of County Commissioners, has put a
quietus on the prisoners who are con
fined in the county Jail and who have
been kicking up such fuss here oil
late.
He had heavy board shutters made
for each window in the Jail and now
when they get ready to curse and use
their vulgarity the shutters are simply
closed to and they have it all to them
selves. After having the shutters
closed one night they said that "onee
was enough for them" and that they
would be quiet in the future. Since
then they have kept their word and the
shutters stand open,-Morning Herald.

THE TRAGEDY OF TODAY.

Thomas Carlyle regarded it as trag
edy in this age of books that one man
should die in ignorance of the power of
acquiring knowledge. How much great
er is that tragedy of today in which men
slowly starve to death while surrounded
by superabundance. The piquancy
Of this tragedy lies in the fact that the
community, the civilization in which
it occurs. and which collectively must
be held accountable, appears all but OBJ
livious to the responsibility lying upon
it. In almost every great city there is
the pitiable spectacle of able and will
ing men crowding the employment
agencies, the great majority of whom
are doomed to disappointment. With
out money. with food and shelter de-
MED them, or forced to make exorbi-
tant credit terms with boarding house
men-there is nothing else-those who
can't steal must starve. Such is our
modern version of the old fashioned
socialistic decree, He that will not
work, neither shall he eat" We know
better now. We fawn on and toady to
our idle rich classes; we shelter and
pamper our criminal classes, but turn
cold and suspicious eyes upon the tramp
and tout of work." no matter if he be
honest-William Mitchell, in San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

JONAS EARN CENSUS.

Secretary of State Mcfarland. Of Iowa.
will in few days, issue the official CEN
sus of the state for 1895. The figures re-
lating to the farm and farmers of the state
are of great interest. and some of the facts
brought out demand serious consideration.
1t is estimated by statisticians that the
proportion of tenant farmers in the United
States represents SO Is per cent of the en-
tire number of farmers. This has been
considered high estimate, and some have
gone so far as to deny it. But these fig
ures, authenticated by the official seal of
the secretary, we find in Iowa, where the
number of tenant farmers is supposed to
he relatively smaller than in most of the
states. that while 1889 farmers till their
own land. 5s.9s7 are tenant farmers. and
that SO. 1852 of the farms of the state are I'M
der mortgage. The aggregate sum repre-
scented in these mortgages is $13S, 5S5. 720. At
per cent interest the legal rate in the
state, this represents a fixed charge upon
Iowa agriculture of IS ,3l5, 1920 year.
These figures are for 1895. and presumably
were taken during the first days of June of
that year. Fifteen months have passed
since then, fifteen months of uneXampled
depression and stringency. falling most
heavily upon the farmer. That the condi-
ton set forth has in no degree improved in
that time is putting 1t in the mildest man.
ner possible. Is it not strange that the
state authorities seriously contemplate. as
the press reports they did. the exclusion
from the state census all reference to the
condition of agriculture.
Iowa stands as typical of the boosted
prosperity of the nation. No state has
better land; no state possesses more thrift
ty people: no state shows bigger crops.
Yet the land is steadily passing out of the
hands Of the producer, and he is becoming
simply tenant-at-will.
The American farmer must wake up to
a realizing sense of the condition and the
causes which lie behind 1t, or soon he will
be completely dispossessed of his birth

The Detroit Tribune free silver)
sums up the order of business followed
by the Michigan bankers at Grand Rap
ids the other day, in the following terse
manner:
1. Congratulating each other upon
how much more than anybody else we
know about finance.
2. Reading the papers to show how
little we know.
3. Congratulating each other upon
the superior honesty that dominates
the banking business.
4. Reading papers upon dishonest
methods of banking.
S. Casual discussion calculated to
convince us of what we already believe
6. Resolutions declaring it the sense
of the bankers of Michigan that the
money question ought to be left to the
bankers to decide
Z. Discussion devoted to wondering
why the people are so blamed stupid as
not to jump at such a good chance to
get troublesome question settled.
s. Adjournment.
