PRACTICAL ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
OF IT BY RESULTS IN LONG
ISLAND SOUND.
Easton, Md, April 27.-Captain
Clepent r. Leonard, Of Easton, has
Just returned from a trip to Glen
Cove, Long Island, where he went to
deliver Mrs. Simon bOuAys salaAs
yacht. Glen Cove is on the sound. Cap
tain Leonard has much 10 say about
the prosperous, fertile and ,hickly set
tied country he passed through going
up the Delaware andthr1ugh the Rari-
tan, as we'll as the numerous manufac-
turing establishments he noticed
throughout the region. But what at
tracted this Chesapeake sailor the most
was the aspect presented by the oyster
catching business about Staten Island
sound.
Il thought l had seen much oyster
ing done by many oystermen," Cap
tain Leonard said, working in fleets on
different Chesapeake oyster grounds,
but l had seen nothing in comparison
with what we saw in the Staten Island
waters. Visible at one time here there
were more people catching oysters
than the entire r-pL-- Ion OF Talbot
county, | am very sure. And there
were oysters to CATCH in great variety
and of fine quality. No wonder Staten
Island and other nearby shores are
built up like towns and cities. There Is
comfort and wealth. here among the
laboring people, especially among thE
Oystermen, as well as among the mil
liOnaires. They have not only com.
Portable, but very pretty and attrac-
tive BONES. These oystermen-the in
dustrious Ones-dO not have to live
from hand to mouth. They make gOOC
money during the oyster season anC
/ find other profitable employment wheT
it is over. 1t is the same in the sound
but there being a large eXpanse o
water, We could not see so many oys
termen at the same time. would
IKE some of our Chesapeake bay oys
ter-catchers to go up there and see tbs
scale on which things are done in the3
line Of business"
Captain Leonard did not say so. blI
what he found up there is a stn0nl
practical argument for oyster planting
and private ownership OF oyste
grounds What he saw and what h
says indicate that the oyster catcher
make more money there working OF
plants than they do in the Chesapeake
working the natural growth only. Cap
tain Leonard is a very close and com
petent observer. No one is more so.

GOOD TIP FOR A SNOWMAN.
Enough I'm Spite of Its
Old Age,

In the matter of aerostation we seem
TO have made little advance for over a
century. The subioined extract from
the Publicls Intelligencer, Of April 70,
17s6, shows that the balloonists ofthose
days had quite ambitious ideas on the
subject OF aerial navigation. Unfor-
tunately nothing is known of the sue
cess of the adventure with the -four
harnessed tame eagles. capable of fly
ing in every direction at their masters

steered in the air by four live eagles.
at is now universally admitted that
every attempt TO steer balloons in the
air, by any power Of mechanism. will
always prove fruitless, as there is nc
possibility of finding pointd'appui, OF
point of resistance. Mr., Uncles, though
convinced OF this truth. is nevertheless
ambitious as an Englshman of merit.

Piu Iron Based on Rounties.

Up in Duluth that well known zenith Of
the unsalted seas, it is proposed to make pig
iron regardless of ordinary rules of produce
ton. 1t is claimed that the whalebacks
or other ships with big stomachs can bring
back coal from Connellsville or at least
Cleveland, at very low rate, because such
ore carriers go back empty. In other words,
that the true economic meeting point of
coal and ore is Duluth, instead of Chicago.
Cleveland or the Pttsburg district Iron
masters have not looked at the matter
through Duluth spectacles, and Duluth now
proposes to utilize its legislature, now IN
session at st. Paul, In inducing them to
appreciate and to utilize Duluths advan-
tages Bills have been introduced In both
branches of the Minnesota Legislature Of
ferng bounty of so cents ton on pig iron
made in Minnesota-that is, in Duluth
The zenith city wanted a bounty of ono
dollar ton, but it has concluded to accent
80 cents and its people are now talking
glibly about iron plants to cost million
uiu a. AieRIA' IL SSSiilS, 100, tildL Iney pro-
pose to do their own cooking, and the coal
must therefore come from Central Ohio or
Western Pennsylvania, for western coal
refuses to be turned into coke.
Birmingham wishes Duluth all the sue
cess it can achieve a thousand miles away
from fuel supply. and a hundred miles or
more from an ore supply. It has our con-
sent to fight it out with Chicago. Cleve-
land and Pittsburg, and we will throw uu
our caps for the winner even If he live in
land that has thirteen months of winter
each year. The bounty system may be a
trifie hard on the farmer in the southern
counties of Minnesota, but as the tariff and
subsidy bills that he steadily votes for con-
tain the bounty principle, he should not
kick. Let him take the Duluth medicine
and say nothing.
