MORE ABOUT COL. LEHMANOWsKY.

Il communication from Benjamin S. Par
ker contributes some further information
regarding the identity of Colonel Lehman
owsky, the possible auth1r of the Life
of Bonaparte,' heretofore referred to in the
Journal Some points in the case are now
We'll settled. Among these are, first, that
the book was undoubtedly written by some
person not only personally familiar with
Napoleon's military campaigns from the
first to the last but also possessing suf-
ficient technical knowledge to describe their
strategic and tactical features in correct lit
erary phrase. Information concerning these
campaigns was not broadcast in the United
States at the time the book was published,
in 1918, and could only have been acquired
by personal experience or by a residence in
Europe Second, it is settled be-
yond any doubt that Colonel
Lehmanowsky was a Polander that
he claimed to have served in all of
Napoeons campaigns and to have been in
a great number of pitched battles, that he
was a man of fine military bearing. that he
had conspicuous scar on his face, the re-
suit of a saber cut, that he lived for sew
erai years in Knightstown and that about
1910, or a little later, he lectured at many
points in the West on Napoeons cam
paigns describing incidents in the cam
paigns in Spain with an accuracy and vivid
ness that could only have come from per-
sonal participation in them. Several per-
sons who heard him lecture talk agree
that he had fine command of good Eng
H. 10 of
Bonaparte." If he could hold audiences
spellbound with his eloquence, speaking in
English, he must have been capable of
writing it with accuracy and force. He
might have participated in all of Napoeons
campaigns and still not have been too old
to lecture as late as 1912. The battle of
Waterloo was fought in 1885, and Marshal
Ney is supposed to have been executed in
the same year. If Lehnanowsky served on
Ney's staff and was forty years old at
that time ne would only have been forty
three years old when the Life of Bona
parte" was published, in 1918, and only six
ty-seven when he was lecturing. There is
no evidence as yet to show that he ever
lived in Salem, where the book was pub
lshed, though he may have lived there be-
fore moving to Knightstown, or he might
have sent his book there for publication
without being a resident of the place The
circumstantial evidence all goes to show
that he might easily have been the author
of the work, and the question still recurs
if he was not it's author, who was, and
why should any person but political refu-
gee wish to conceal his identity and author
ship under the vague designation by
Citizen of the United States?"

HOME AND FOREIGN MARKETS.

A local organ of Tree trade says, THE
home market is not in it with the foreign
market this year" If this is intended
seriously it is a great mistake. The home
market is lin it with the foreign market"
not only this year but every year, and is
far the better market of the two for the
American farmer and producer. 1t is better
on every account for the farmer to sell his
surplus wheat and other products here
at home to American consumers who get
good wages than TO ship them thousand
miles or more to the seacoast and three
thousand miles across the ocean to sell to
consumers who get less wages. The foreign
market is good in a supplementary way. as
tail to a kite, but the American farmers
main reliance is the home market. The
poorest farmers in this country are those
who are farthest from market, and the
most prosperous are those who have mar
ket at their doors. The official statements
of government statisticians show that
where 30 per cent. of the people are farmers
and 20 per cent of the people are engaged
in other occupations the farmer receives a
net annual income of $457 while in States
where the reverse is true. 20 per cent. OF the
people being farmers and 80 per cent en-
gagged in other occupations, the farmer re-
ceives an annual net income of only S160
showing a difference of 1927 annually to the
farmer who lives in a community of di-
versifed Industries against the farmer
who has no home market A person who
should say that farmers living in the vi
cinity of manufacturing cities. as for in

government and Senate and secret notice
has already been issued to the members
of the latter body calling on them to meet

almost constant consultation with Presi-

will be asked to ratify the annexation
treaty recently signed in Washington and
as a majority of members favor annexa-

reason for the extra session of the Senate
is a matter of conjecture and much curios-
ity is evinced A senator is authority for
the statement that Minister Hatch brought
word from President Mckinley that he had
resolved to call Congress two months ear
Ter than usual for the purpose of dispos-
ing Of the treaty before the regular session,
and this theory appears to find favor with
other senators. Another matter to be con-

New Jersey is in the height of its peach
season and estimates that it's crop is over
three and a half million baskets, but mourns
because it is not larger. The quality of
the fruit is said to be inferior this year,
except where the growers thinned the crop
on the trees in juno. Other growers could
M bring themselves to do this. and the
result is. according to one report, that some
orchards are so loaded that they remind
the observer of apple trees in full bloom,
but the peaches are not larger than an
almond. and are, of course worthless. The
wisdom of thinning their fruit on the trees
in order to secure quality rather than guam
tity is but slowly acquired by the average
horticuturist.
