Yet there Is poison In the veins Of tie
body polite. IL threatens the liberty
for which our fathers fought. Il leads
us to fear the suppression Of the public
fuctuation OF thought that puts each
party on It's guard. 1t may precipltate
again the conflict that watered our birth
place with blood when men demanded
their right to be represented. That
poison Ia BOSSISM. Think for q mo-
meet what things bosses set out to sc-
complish, and you will realize how alb
horrent such people are TO the American
instinct. A boss has no genuine political
beliefs; he will as gladly deal with the
boss OF different stamp, as he will
listen to his own helpers. Unlike lead
ers who are called forth by the COM
Polling voice OF people who recognize
merit, bosses are the cunning users OF
fortuitous circumstances. Placed in
some temporary position OF power, the
boss plots to make his hold permanent
and panders to the lowest instincts Of
greed In gathering around him cringing
sycophants ready to do hi, will. A
boss will sit down months before cam
paigu aud plot while men Of upright
thought are all unsuspicious. His fol-
lowers will "fx up" primaries, rush
through "slates" unbroken, "pack'
conventions and so make our glorious
heritsge Of free and unbiased voting
mere farce and q mockery. Not neces-
sarily himself holding public office, the
boss places public men under such Obli-
cations TO himself that they Weld him
unquestioning obedience. Offices will
be filled by him with greedy men who
divide with him the spoils, for the sake
of his continued maintenance OF them 10
their positions. These are they who
have made the stock-gambling OF our
Senate q possibility, shame and q
scandal TO the nation. These are they
who have degraded politics until to 60
into the highways Of public life tests
msn's pr0bity Of character more than to
the full. These arc they who hsve
afftighted good men, and before whom
voters are dumb, like sheep before
shearers. These are they who sell legis
lation to highest bidders until all law
making 10 coming under the ban OF
suspicion. These are they 10 short who
are more dangerous than nihilIsts; who
are driving as forward to national out
burst. "The people" are slow to anger

Justice and purloIned privileges 10 bound

that right speedily.

SMALL. FARMER DOOMED.

The largest farm In the country
and probably in the world, is situ.
ated in the southwestern part of
Louisiana. II extends 100 miles east
and west. II was purchased In 1883
by a syndicate of northern capital
lists by whom II is still operated.
At the time of its purchase it's
1.5O0,000 acres was a vast pasture
for cattle belonging to few deal
ers in that country. Now II is di.
vided into pasture stations or
ranches, existing every six miles.
The fencing is said to have cost
$4,000. The land 10 best adapted
for rice, sugar, corn and cotton. A
tract. say half a mile wide, is taken
and an engine is placed on each
side. The engines are portable and
operate cable attached to four
plows. BY this arrangement thirty
acres are gone over in a day, with
the labor of only three men. There
il not a draft horse on the entire
place, If we except those used by
the herds of cattle, of which there
are 10000 head on the place. The
Southern Pacific railroad runs
through the place. The company
has three steamboats, operating on
the waters of the estate. of which
300 miles are navigabie. 1t has also
an ice plant, bank, ship yard and
ice houses.
In less than ten years farming
will be revolutionized. The small
farmers will be crowded to the wall
by this mortgage farming eyndi-
cate, and IL he is lucky he may be
permitted to work for small wages
on the land he once owned; this is
not prediction-it is a fact
Frederick Upham Adams in The
New Times for November.
We are compelled to disagree
with the writer of the above. If it
were "a fact that big farms like the
above described were common, then
we would be forced to agree with
Mr.. Adams that small farming is
doomed, but wethink big farms are
becoming scarcer. The farmer, be
he one on large or ANAL scale, is
the independent man of this coun-
try. and ever will be.

Mining for whiskey is the latest
mining excitement, says an ex-
change. A company of capitalists
are sinking a big shaft just below
Parkeville on the Missouri river, in
the hope of making a big find of
over 40year-old whiskey. In 1855
the steamer Abba, loaded with pro-
visions and whiskey, and bound
for up river points, struck snag
just below Parkville and sunk in
shallow water, after floating to the
opposite bank from where disabled.
1t was known to have from 200 to
600 barrels of whiskey below, which
was soon sealed up in sand, and
with the appliances those days
could not be removed. Lately the
hull of the vessel has been discov-
cred half mile from the present
river bed under from % to 80 feet of
sand. A fortune awaits the COM
pany If It raises the whiskey, as II
very valuable, owing to it's age.

Is SEE WILLIAM FAIRS r1rEs
Woman Calling Herself Edwina Forrest
Fair sues Him for separation.

Edwina Forrest Fair. who claims to be tho
wife Of William Fair. a wealthy New Yorker.
is suing him for separation. She alleges that
the marriage took place on Sept. %. 1879. but
Lawyer Leventritt of Leventritt & Oppenheim
of 265 Broadway will. on Tuesday next, in tho
Supreme Court, apply for an order compelling
her to furnish further particulars. Mr.. Fair is
said to be at present with his brother in Monroe
cou ty.
Connected with this suit for separation is an
other action, In which William Fair is defend
ant. About year ago he made an agreement
to sell the premises at 50 Vesey street to Mrs.
Vollhart. When her lawyer began to search the
title it was proved that Trinity Church had GER
tain claims against the property. and Edwina
Forrest Fair also notified Mrs. Vollhart's law
yers that the property could not be sold without
her consent, as she was tn owners common
law wife. The claims Of Trinity Church are
based on the fact that the property in Vesey
street was given by the parish several years ago
to church on condition that it revert to Trim
ity II tn church ceased to exist. 1t was sold by
the church.. however to Mr.. Fairs father. At
the time the agreement to sell was signed
$1,000 was paid to Mr.. Fair. Mrs. vollhart Is
now suing to recover that sum.
