The fertility of the soil, like good
health, is always easier to maintain
when possessed than restored When
lost. AS a matter of fact, there Is no
one thing which should be more closely
watched by the possessor of a fertile
farm than this of the conservation OF
Its fertility. Under a sensible and In
telligent method of farming the land.
should never grow less fertile, but.
rather better year by year. Rotation
of crops, clover and the conversion OF
the crops raised into either dairy or
meat products on the farm are three
agencies which will keep the fertility
of the soil intact. We know that this
is old fashioned doctrine, but it is like
the Ten Commandments as applied tc
moral living. ,.--s

SAWDUST IN BRYAN'S DOLLS.

Mr.. Bryan has hard luck with his pets. No
sooner does he conceive a passionate admira-
ton for some great man of the past and begin
to quote him and to pose his legitimate sue
cessor than his hero is shown in the pitiless
light of historic fact to have been just the con-
trary of what Mr.. Bryan represents him and
processes himself to be. The first of Mr..
Bryan's heroes was, of course, Jefferson, the
founder of the old Democratic party But it did
not take long for Mr.. Bryan to be reminded that
Jefferson was also the first great imperialist
and expansionist who declared that the larger
our possessions were the better; that perfect
title to territory could be acquired by conquest,
supplemented by treaty of peace and renuncia-
ton; that there is no constitutional difficulty
as to the requirement of territory" and that
when territory is thus acquired 1t is matter Of
expediency only whether not it is to be taken
into the Union.
This was discouragng. The Jeffersonian doll
was stuffed with most palpable sawdust. AS
its successor Jackson, the founder Of the modern
Democratic party, was obviously impossible, his
rampantIy imperastc theories and practices
being well known even 20 Mr.. Bryan. So with
what might have been fine audactty had it not
been for lack of informal ton. Mr.. Bryan turned
TO the first Republican President. Lincoln, as
proclaimed. who typifed and embodied anti
Imperialism, and he sedulously cultivated the
notion that he was himself a second Lincoln.
But alas for the vanity of Ill informed ambl-
ton! 1t has taken only short time to show
from the record that of ali men in the history
of the republic probably not one has been more
bitterly denounced as an imperlslist and as an
usurping emperor than was Lincoln. ard that
by the very same Democratic party OF which
Mr.. Bryan is now the imperious If not imperial
boss. We have already recalled the fact that
one Of Mr.. Bryan's strongest supporters said Of
Lincoln in 1854: I'VE have our Emperor Lin
"coln. who can tell stale jokes while the land Is
running red with blood. Should Mr. Lincoln
"be reelected this viii be no longer q republic,
"but a consolidated empire" Every man
whose memory goes back so far knows that
such was the general tone Of Democratic criti-
cisms Of Lincoln. In that year, too, the Ma
tional Democratic platform inveighed against
the revolutionary acts" Of Lincoln and against
his administrative usurpation OF powers not
granted by the Constitution" And at the end.
reviewing the record Of the two Lincoln admin
istrations and of the party Of which Lincoln had
been the leader, the Democrats in their Ma
tional platform declared that the pillars of the
Government had been made to rock on their
base, and that another Republican victory
would make Of US "a subjected and conquered
people, amid the ruins of liberty and the scat
tered fragments of the Constitution"
And so the sawdust trickles from the punct-
ured Lincoln doll. Who is to come next?

THE CoNDEnyAT1oy OF RREsor

The trial Of Bresci, the murderer of King
Humbert which took place yesterday, and
which concluded promptly with his conviction
and condemnation to Imprisonment for life. was
noteworthy chiefly for the fact that the Anar-
chist criminal employed counsel and assistant
counsel-the latter a full fledged Anarchist-to
defend him. This would make his whole per-
formance, save for its tragic and revolving
features, melOdramd, with q touch of farce
The same may. indeed, truly be said of pract-
cally all such Anarchist crimes The mis-
creant does the deed. He does not deny nor
mitigate the fact but exults In it, He did II
he says, IN the name Of Liberty He is ready
to meet the consequences. 1t does not matter
what becomes of him so long as The Cause
goes on. He may perish, but after him will
come others in the glorious work THUS for
the first day or two. Then he develops an in
tense curiosity to know what people are saying
about him. He wants to see his name in the
papers. He hopes they are all printing long
articles about him. He especially desires to
have his portrait published And then, having
advertised himself as much as possible and
pampered his vanity upon notoriety. he begins
to seek ways and means of escaping or mini
mizing the penalty of the law. Sometimes he
plays insanity, sometimes he engages LAWYERS
Bresci does both.
The farce element Of the meIodrama Is sun-
piled in this engagement of lawyers An Anar-
ehist is opposed to lawyers and to all law. That
is the essential and fundamental principle Of
Anarchism. That is why he is an Anarchist
Yet he turns to the law for succor and engages
lawyer to use all the resources of the law to
shield him, so far as possible, from the conse-
quences of his opposition to the law or, in the
last resort, to delay the execution Of his SEN
tence. Ii is as though q man who was on
posed to the taking of medicine should send for
a doctor to give him medicine to brace him
up for his anti-medicine campaign. To be in
the least logical Bresci should scorn to invoke
the aid OF the law and the Government against
which he has been fighting Perhaps the crown
ing inconsistency of the case is in the fact that
his assistant counsel is a professed Anarchist
An anti-law lawyer 1t is phantasma goria

CROKER ON TRUSTS.

Mr.. Croker modestly denies that he is an
orator. and puts aside the suggestion that he
take the stump for the delivery of the wise
thoughts which ia a more informal manner he
daily puts before the public. Perhaps be is
right. Perhaps he could not make speech for
the whole State of New-York, and it certainly
is not necessary for him 10 try, for he has
easier ways Of getting the whole State of New
York, or so much Of it as he requires for his
comfort and abounding prosperity. Yet it is, as
Mr.. Croker himself confesses, a pity that his
knowledge of trusts should be hidden from the
people except for its spasmodic exhibition in
casual interviews Mr.. Croker is an expert on
trusts, and what he says about them is worth
listening to.
We do not blame the reporters for shuddering
when he suggests that the great mercantile
houses which advertise largely are going to
combine and cut of newspaper revenues and
leave newspaper men to starve His picture
Of the department store octopus which is to
drive out all small tradesmen was so clearly an
application 10 a new field of the methods with
which Mr.. Croker as a stockholder in the Ice
Trust is familiar that they naturally were i'm
pressed by its verisimilitude. With his aid and
that Of his lieutenants in control of the city
government the ice companies united to avoid
competition and raise prices, just as he says
the retail shOpkeepers may do Attempts were
made 10 drive the independent icemen out of
business, and IL Mr.. Croker had his way II
would be as difficult TO get piece Of ice ex-
cept from trust depot and at trust prices as
he predicts it will hereafter be to get a spool
Of thread.
Nor is Mr.. Croker's knowledge of the evils of
trusts confined to the ice business He saws
that young men have no chance nowadays. We
cannot agree with him entirely but from his
point OF view there is some Justification for the
statement Suppose, for instance young man
wants TO go into the hreproofng business. as
Mr. Croker's son did some time ago. Unless he
has powerful father like Mr. Croker. with
influence enough to secure the favor of the
city government. he need not hope to put M
hreproof arch in this city. That business Is in
TIE hands Of trust: all city specifications are
80 drawn that the young mans wares. no mat
ter how good would not meet the reouire
ments and II in private buildings he attemnted
10 compete with the firm in which Mr. Croker
invested" he would find that the incorruptibe
Building Department had standard of safety
difficult IL not impossible for him to live up 70
The young man would indeed have hard time
who wanted to start selling hreproof building
material
Perhaps the young has little money
and wants to start bonding and guarantee
company. Mr. Croker can assure him that he
would have hard time at that. too. Mr. Croker
New-York tribune., 1900-08-30

is In the bonding business himself. He KNOWS
how compIete1s the trust arrangement and how
all the forces of trust-ridden government com
bipe to make every contractor and ohicenoider
in this city pay tribute TO that bond octopus OF
which Mr. Freedman is the keeper. He can
also tell anybody who has ambitions for a career
In real estate that unless he is fortunate, IKE
Mr.. Peter T. Meyer, in securing the partner
ship of a powerful politician his real estate ex-
change will be deprived of all share in the legal
sales and finally driven out of business. The
young man who bucks up against the trusts
of which Mr.. Croker has intimate knowledge
will certainly have no chance.
And in the field of politics. too, how the
trusts are growing! 1t must make Mr.. Croker's S
democratic and sympathetic heart bleed to
think that no young man can get an office
under the city government Of the American
metropolis except by favor of the Tammany
political trust In all this great town not even
one antitrust Democratic organization can keep
a6oat. Not even Sheehan is left to carry on
his little separate political business uncrushed
by the trust. IT is a sad situation, and one
which Mr.. Croker is right in saying the young
men should come forward TO remedy. not by
going into the political trust, or the real estate
trust or the freproofing trust. or the bonding
trust or the ice trust, no matter how generously
invited. but by opposing them all and com
pelling them TO give the individual business
man and citizen chance.
Mr. Croker knows all about trusts from the
inside. IT is worth while hearing from him.

for Victor Emmanuel III is King. And when
czars and kings are abolished and presidents
take their places the case is the same. The
Anarchist who murdered Carnot killed no one
but the man Carnot. He did not kill the Presi-
dent of France. Casimr- Perier was President.
It is not the officer but the man whom the
Anarchist strikes down. 1t is, therefore not
against law and government but against hu-
manity that the Anarchist campaign Is waged.
And in that fact its most hateful feature is
disclosed
