NEW YORK'S FLOWERS.

FIGURES are sometimes eloquent.
IL AS, for instance. when one gathers
them with regard to New York's
i flower supply. In spite of the wealth
OF blossoms that crowd shop win

gives a faint thrill of surprise to hear that
the city receives within the seven months
that make up Its winter season about fifty
million roses, one hundred and fifty mil
lion yiolets. fifteen million carna tions.
not to mention the loads and loads OF other
blossoms
A single rose grower sends in above half
a million choice blossoms: another man
has eleven acres under glass for violets.
Flowers are sent here for sale from points
several hundred miles away. Altogether
the volume of business runs between three
and five million dollars year.

THE COLLEGE OF AGRICUL
5f TURE

Our recent criticisms on the meth11s,
results and cost of the agricultural de-
partment, or College Of Agriculture,
near San Francisco, have stirred its
officers to various explanations. The
criticisms in substance were that the
methods employed by the College of
Agriculture were not scientific; that the
results obtained were nil, and that the
cost, exceeding any other department.
in the State University, was throwing
away and waste of the peoples taxes.
The salary list alone of the College of
Agriculture is over $4,000 year. This
is nearly double the next highest de-
partment of the university, which is
$4,000, and almost five times the cost
of the law school. Besides the state
funds, this college has the use of $l5,O00
a year from the federal government.
Yet we find but one full-hedged pro-
fessor on this salary list. 1t seems to
be admitted that the Agricultural col
lege graduates no classes, and only has
an average of two graduates year. A
special course, however, is being taken
by a gentleman who is the present keep
er of the agricultural wine cellar. This
person receives $1,000 year. Whether
this Is for keeping the wine or taking the
special course does not appear clear. 1t
would certainly add to the results if
they would divide the salary fund. By
paying twelve men $1,000 year, they
could get at least twelve graduates q
year.

mits poverty. 1t makes no claim that
any farmers and fruit producers study
there, or are prepared there, or that they
ever will be. The only prospect held out,
as far as we can understand, is that as
the common schools take up teaching
agriculture they will require teachers,
and that these will be then produced
from the College of Agriculture. 1t
seems pertinent to suggest that when
the common schools take up the teach
ing of agriculture, they will do it with
the idea of preparing the students for
actual agriculture. That teachers to do
this would come out of the present man.

"THE GRIP OF GOLD"

Early in the present year, when it was
not expected that the platform of either
party would declare for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, the
financial issue was discussed without
the bitter partisanship that now marks
the Republican campaign.
Late in March there appeared in sew.
eral American papers a review of the
financial situation in the United States,
credited to the London Financial News
of March 10.
Although freely published, and often
quoted in arguments, the article cred
tied to the London Financial News was
never denied. Among other advantages
which it claimed that free silver would
bring to America, it said:
The condition of affairs in the United
States congress demands the immediate
attention of British financiers and
statesmen. . The trade of the world is
now in our hands, but it will not long re-
main there if the United States goes to
n bi-metallic basis with the free and un-
limited coinage of silver
With the addition of silver to the VOL
ume of money, everything in America
would take on new face; labor and in
QuStry WOulu gain new lie. Inc grip
of the gold standard on the products Of
the world would be loosened and prices
would rise. Great Britain would lose
her markets In South America, Asia and
Europe, and American ships would not
be long in capturing the carrying trade
of the world
British creditors must now apply them
selves quickly to the American money
problem. The. sound money men and
banking interests led by Senator Sher-
man. Cleveland and Carlisle. with a
plentiful supply of means, have been
beaten. The American people are now
thoroughly aroused and educated on the
power and use of money. and made des-
perate by debt and business depression
they are forcing free silver as the main
issue.
Great Britain need fear no injury to
her trade and Investments IL the Repub-
lican party can force protection tariff
as the main issue in the coming presi-
Dental campaign; but If free silver
dominates the American mind and car
r.es at the polls, 1t will bring about a
change in England that will be ruinous
from its suddenness and severity. The

The End Of knowledge

The greatest error of all the rest Is
the mistaking or misplacing Of the last
or farthest end of knowledge; for men
have entered into desire of learning
and knowledge, sometimes upon nat
ural curiosity and inquisitiveAppetites;
sometimes to entertain their minds with
variety and delight; sometimes for Or
nament and reputation; and sometimes
to enable them to victory Of wit and con-
tradiction; and most times for lucre and
profession; and seldom sincerely to give
a true account of their gift of reason,
to the benefit and use of men. AS if
there were sought in knowledge couch,
