"Don't Shoot; I'll Come Down"

So the veraciouS Kentucky historian
records that the coon up the tree said
to Col. Davy Crockett when he found
that the colonel had discovered his re-
treat and had drawn a bead on him.
In like manner the board Of prison
managers agrees to come down" if
The G will cease firing. Among
our Saltwater news of Thursday ap-
peared copy of a circular the warden
had sent out to the dealers who had
bought prison Irvine this year. Lest
it should fail to have caught the eye
Of our readers, we reproduce it here
''It has come to our notice that some of
the persons who have ordered prison Irvine
are preparing to charge exorbitant prices
managers have made low prices on Irvine
with the purpose in view of benefiting them.
The management does not think this is just,
but very unreasonable, and it has been de-
termined that you will not be allowed to
charge more than a reasonable margin. Fail
ing to do this we will be obliged to cancel
your order, and bar you hereafter from hand
ling the prison Irvine, and you must bear in
mind that this privilege may be Of value to
you in the future: Please find enclosed
form of contract which you will please sign
and return to this Office early as possible.
We will not ship your Irvine until you have
complied with these requirements.
henry WOller.
Accompanying the circular is a con-
tract, said to be sironclad' in it's terms,
in which the dealer covenants to sell
prison Irvine at price which will yield
him no greater profit than IL cents
a pound. From the circulars of May
to this is quite a descent. But it does
not acquit the board of business meth
DDS that are decidedly novel. At the
time the board made it's fiat 61a-
rate for all kinds of Irvine, manila was
quoted at 8 cents and rising. It would
seem that ordinary foresight would
have suggested, if the board really
intended that the Irvine Should be sold
to farmers at the maximum profit now
fixed, that the contract now sent to be
executed as a condition precedent to
getting the Irvine would have been re-
quired then. 1t Is quite evident that,
if the farmers get this Irvine at cents,
it will be because The Globe called
public attention to the singular meth
DDS of the board.
But will the farmer get this Irvine
at the specified price? What Is the
situation? The state goes into COM
petition with other cordage works in
making binding twine It sells it on
the market as they do at agreed prices.
The Irvine becomes at once the absolute
property of the buyer in the one case
as much as in the other The board can.
no more impose conditions subsequently
as to price, terms and so forth than
could the private works. The buyer
can sell it at what price he will, or
can get, and the state cannot say him
nay. All it can do is what is now done:
threaten him with it's future disfayor
if he does not comply with the post
purchase terms.
But suppose the dealer signs this con-
tract and returns it, what guaranty is
there that he will carry it out, with
the inducement of an extra or cents
pound profit for evading It? If prison
Irvine were all he kept in stock, the
Warden's plan might work, but with

1t has always been understood hitherto that
the choice of the pseudonym of George
Eliot" was largely an accident; in fact Mr.
Cross. in his biography, says: My wife told
me that the reason she fixed on the name
was that George was Mr.. Lewes' Christian
name, and Eliot was good, mouth-flling
easily ponounced word" A correspondent of
Notes and Queries, however. calls attention
to the fact that some time In the '40's a
young officer Of the Bengal cavalry was
drowned in the Lake of Nynee Tai in the
Himalayas, and his name was George Donni-
thorne Eliot. The correspondent suggests the
interesting possibility that this young officer
might have been an old acquaintance of Mary
Ann Evans. and that her pseudonym and her
creation of Arthur Donnithorne may both
have been derived from him.

1t was destitt &c of 4 single community.
He reasoned that this was a selfish and
unpatriotic position for him to occupy.
He had his workmen who were pos
sessed of their 1amihies, but these were
50 widely scattered that they rarely
came into close relations with one an
other. and the men were wholly lack
ing In independence. He took the view
that If the lands in the territory were
to be absorbed 'by men of like fancies
with his own, the entire area would be
divided among about 5000 owners, and
everybody else, would be dependent.
This was situation entirely at vari-
ance with his ideas of a democratic re-
public. He thereupon decided to alter
Els plans and proceeded to offer his
lands in parcels OF from forty acres
upwards. There. may be cynics who
Will say that he pushed this course
from selfish motives, but such was not
the case. He offered the land on easy
terms of payment and at prices reason
ABLY above what he paid for it. He rec
ognized the value of population. This
would insure greater care because of
the larger degree of intensity applied to
the work of production. 1t would also
increase the general consumptive
power of the community and the
broader and higher cultivation of the
people through their closer communica-
ton with one another. By way of il
lustrat1on let us suppose that he had
succeeded in dividing up his $4,000
acre estate in forty-acre tracts This
would provide 375 land owners Sup
posing, further, the entire territory
were owned by 5000 individuals, each
possessing $4,000 acres, and all these
estates We're thus equally divided,
we would have territory Of approx
mately 10000 square miles owned by
2,25O,00O individual workers of the soil.
Figuring an average of five to each
family, we have a population of H.
25O000 souls. But while from the origi-
nal territorial area large portions must
be absorbed in the cities and towns and
villages that must in time crop up, and
expand, the population is thereby in
creased, so that the area can be reckon
ed on this basis to be populated by 49,
100000 people, and even this would fall
short of the present population Of
France per square, mile. The produc-
tive and at the same time the con-
Stunning power Of such population can
be easily estimated; and does any
thoughtful man doubt that at the pres
ent rate of growth Of this country some
such condition as this will exist with
in the span of a century or two?
And in whats measure the happiness
and contentment of the people will
thus be increased or diminished can be
conjectured by each individual for him
self. But in the present view of the
case are not those blessings found to
exist more among the people who
are comfortable in their smaller
possessions of the soil than among
the class who fret under the own
ership of larger areas which they
cannot properly care for and beneath
burdens which are thus self-imposed?
