lis Resources.
Exhausting Lands By The Expor-
tation Of Grain, And Pouring
Fertility Through Sewers Into
The Sea.

One needs only to look over the work
of some of the bureaus of the National
Department of Agriculture to realize that
this country is squandering much of its
natural resources, and that the struggle
for life Of future generations will except
as it is Offset by conpensating impro-
vements in other lines. be much sew
erer than that of the present. Zone of
the first things which pioneer does,' .
said the Secretary of Agriculture to-
day, lis to grow crops which require
little capital like wheat, oats. flax, corn,
and barley, but which exhaust the soil.
Every btlshel of grain which he sells
means the transfer from his farm Of so
much of its plant food, and our experts
have figured to 1licety how much Of
the mineral elements of the soil 90 out
in each bushel of the various grains.
The pioneer usually lacks the means to
follow such a system Of agriculture as
will maintain the fertility Of his farm.
In fact, American wheat could not be

probably oil wells and natural gas. Mr..
Hill seems to favor the working of gold
and silver mines by the Government al
so. Iron, lead, copper, zinc, and
borax mines would naturally come next
All the political <meddling that we
might expect from separate State action
would be repeated on a larger scale.
Quay would not lose his influence over
Pennsylvania mines by their transfer to
the national Government.
The people would demand all the
products CT Government mines at as
low a price as the same were pre-
viously supplied for, and if there were
a failure of the supply, or material
advance in price, would "arraign" the
party IN power, and in any extreme
case, like the present deficiency of coal,
would hurl it from power.
The public interest lies in having
coal supplied in sufficient quantity at
the lowest possible price. There is no
reason to believe that the Government
could do this work nearly as well as it
has been done in the past by private
enterprise No dot. there have been
grave ABUSES in the private mining and
transportation of anthracite coal which
wise Government might properly take
cognizance of and without assums
| ing ownership of the mines, but
those abuses have been fewer and less
heinous than would have been con1it-
ted under Government mining, while
the supply of coal has been more regular
and the price lower to the consumer
than it would have been under such a
system.
The only adequate solution, of the
coal question is the economic one. Ir
other words the party which can holo
out longest will win the present fight
but winning the present fight does MOI
insure us against another one. The
operators tell us that the competition o.
bituminous coal prevents them fron
raising wages. Of course this compe-
tition is not going to cease with the end
ing of the present strike. 1t may be
even more severe than before. There
fore the economic forces must have
their way. Not even the Government
can prevent them. This is hard say
ing, perhaps, but we can see no easie
one Government ownership world h
stepping from the frying pan into tn
fire.

Only Disorderly Towns.
Strange Conduct Of DR.. Barreras
Of Caguas.

All day yesterday Governor Hunt
and the Supervisor of elections received
advices from the interior towns respect
ing the progress Of the registration
which was i'll progress. With the ex-
ception of San Lorenzo, where a riot
occurred on the afternoon of the 27th
and Patillas where the police was at
tackled, all the reports showed that
there was no trouble of any kind, and
that the police was doing its full duty.
The election judges, after their exper-
fences of the 18th and 18th were more
familiar with their work and therefore
fewer complaints were made against
them. On the whole the conduct of
both parties showed vast improvement
over the first two days registration.
One of the most unsatisfactory and
disgusting occurrences of the day was
the conduct of DR.. Barreras of Caguas,
who after being informed that there
we're wounded men at San Lorenzo
without physician, and that he was
the nearest one to that town, failed to
answer the Governors telegram re-
questing his aid, and who when finally
forced, or rather urged to answer, late
in the afternoon in reply to a second
telegram sent the following answer:
Juncos.-II5 P M.

renzo l endanger my life, and if your
honor castigates the authors, Still

Honor gives me sufficient guarantees.
