The condition of the farmer was the
topic of an address of Hon. j. A. Brig
ham, assistant secretary of Agriculture and
= representative Granger, to the Indus
srial Commit sion at Washington, on Mon
day. An interesting portion OF his re-
marks was his condemnation of the rail
roads and steamboats, for stimulating i'm
migration and bringing to the agricul.
rural lands of the West a larger number
Of immigrants than would have come
from natural ow of population under
economic laws. AS the farmers of the
East have long suffered from Western
competition, they at least will be disposed
to believe that an unnatural competition
thus fostered has been at the bottom OF
some of the low prices for New England
farm products If this be true, of course
competition must resume a more normal
state when the growth OF the country
mas eliminated the inequalities thus pro-
auced between production and oonsump-
non of agricultural products.

The so-oalled Cuban assembly which
has deposed Gen. Gomez is simply body
of fifty army officers, who originally con-
stituted a sort Of military council, but
have since arrogated to themselves the
right to represent the Cuban people. The
United States has never recognized them
in any way, and by no legitimate process
have they come into possession of any
power OF right to represent the people
They are siyuply usurpers Gomez has
been recognized by us as the head OF such
civil or military government as there was
in Cuba and it was to him that the
proposition was made to disband the
Cuban army. Out of this proposition and
its acceptance by the Cuban comm ander-
in chief grows the OPPOSITE on of the So
called assembly. The long and short OF
the matter is that the assembly thought
our government ought to have offered
more than So, 000, 900, Isnd their demon
stration is made in the hope that to buy
them off and induce shem to keep quiet
it will add several more mil
lions. They are likely to be disap-
pointed In this, however, for there is no
likelihood that their deposition Of Gomez
will weaken his influence with the army
or the people sufficiently to prevent his
carrying out his agreement with the
United States to secure the disbandment
of the Cuban troops, and therefore no &C.
casion for conciliating them. Probably II
the assembly becomes too demon trative

will be orded to dissolve it.
