Farming That Pays.

The Charlotte Observer prints an
interview with Mr.. W. E. Crosland, of
Richmond county, n. c., in which
that gentleman makes it appear that
the right sort of farming in the south
will pay. Mr.. Crosland says that
twenty-three years ago he and Captain
". E. Everett invested $4,000 each IN
sixteen hundred acres Of land and
farm equipment. A year ago they
took inventory of the farm assets and
found that after having lived on the
proceeds of the farm. educated
several children, and after each
member had drawn out $4,000 addl-
tional during twenty-five years, there
vet remained, including moneys on
hand, real estate, farm products un-
sold, stock, cattle and personal effects,
over 500, 900 in assets. They now
have 5000 acres of land in high state
of cultivation, with everything needful
for successful farming. Their exhibit
shows profit of 50 1-3 per cent. IN
round numbers per annUm.
Mr.. Crosland says that no man can
make a success of the farming indus
try if he pesists in confning his ope-
rations to one crop, be it cotton, corn,
tobacco or what not. In his opinion
the only practical way to make farm
inc pay is to rotate the crops and di-
versify the industry.
Mr.. Crosland is evidently good
business man as we'll as good farmer.
In carving on his farming opera
tions he has worked with his head as
well as his hands: be has been guided
by the we'll recognized rules of busl-
ness. in short he has conducted his
farm as a manufacturer conducts his
factory. We believe that ali farmers
who follow that rule will make a sue
cess of agriculture. Richmond

BRYAN's c0MM0NER.


Mr.. Bryan's Commoner will not
cease publication, as has been report
ed, says Lincoln (Neb. press dis
patch. At no time within the eleven
months of its existence has it been
more prosperous than now. The paid
circulation is 0,300, and, as the paper
has good supply of advertisements
at big rates, it is not wrong to say
that Mr.. Bryan will clean up $40, 600
the first year. Local publishers say
that his profits will not fall below
$50, 600. Mr.. Bryan has no printing
outfit, but thirty persons are employed
in the business Office to handle the
incoming and departing mail.
G. W. Bryan, the business manager,
said in answer to an inquiry that the
report that the, paper would be dis
continued was foolish canard.
GA small percentage of our sub
scriptions, it is true, were for three
and six months, but there has not
been single week in which the new
subscribers did not far exceed those
disco ntinued. We have local agents
in most cities in the country and find
it comparatively easy undertaking tc
push up our list. The year ends on
January %, and renewals are now
coming in by the hundreds daily. y

A Government Telegraph.

The gossip that the government may
be induced to buy up the telegraph
companies and put them under the
control of the post Office department is
row taking definite shape. 1t is re-
ported on authority, according to a
Washington telegram dated December
%, that Senator Mason will soon offer
bill providing for a postal tele-
graph. He would give no particulars,
but he is a member Of the old senate
committee on postal affairs. The new
postmaster general is said to favor the
system and to have selected Mr.. Ma
son to inaugurate the legislation. 1t
is supposed also that the president
favors the scheme. The existing tele-
graph companies will be bought up
out of fund raised by selling bonds.
These bonds are to bear interest at
the rate of 2 or 21a per cent, run
twenty-five years and be made availa-
bic for use by the national banks as a
basis for currency. A sinking fund is
to be provided out of the earnings to
pay them off at maturity, and the
telegraph service is to be extended ul-
timately to all the post Offices and the
rates cheapened so that everybody can
use the wires.
It has long been a favorite scheme
to have the government take over the
telegraph and telephone services and
manage them as an adjunct to the post
Office department.. When John Wana-
maker was postmaster general be
recommended that this be done. The
proposition was always resisted by the
late DR.. Norvin Green of this city,
when president of the Western Union,
on the ground that service through
private ownership was cheaper an !
fuller. The telegraph service is unded
government control in Great Britain
and the telephone service has been
municipalized to a very large extent,
out the territory is small and easily
covered compared with our immense
distances.
The matter could be easily arranged
if it were desirable. By an act OF
congress of July "a, 1856, it was stipu-
lated that in consideration Of the
right of way Of post roads through
government lands and under or across
navigable waters the United States
should have the right to purchase
these lines at a price to be fixed by
arbitrators, one to be chosen by the
government and one by the telegraph
company to be bought, these two to
select the third. It is said that all
the telegraph companies now in exist
ence have fled their written accept
ances of the agreement, so that ali the
Government would have to do should
it decide TO purchase would be to exer-
else it's option.-Courier Journal.

THE FALL OF A TRUST.
There is Nemesis that has worked

There is Nemesis that has worked
its revenge on many trust.
The average trust overdoes itself.
When it finds that it has a good
thing it is apt to push it along. at
TOO rapid a rate. 1t overcapltallzes
and piles up obligations that it can
not possibly meet.
Then the investors whom it has
drawn into its scheme by promises OF
fabulous profits begin to compalin.
Finally they realize that they have
been made victims of gobble game
for the benefit of set of shrwed
Capitalists or that in the exuber-
ance of the officers and directors OF a
common investment they have been
led to financial distress while seeking
the safe pathway of enormous profits.
The collapse of the asphalt trust
is a striking illustration of the way
of all such flesh. :.
That concern has gone to the wall
and is in the hands of receiver on
account of its gross overcapitallzatlon
and the very questionable methods 1t
employed. The asphalt trust seems to
nave D6SU CudIdCGSI4Z0o ny lOo Co1N
departure from business methods.
It has not only resorted to new fnan-
cial devices buta has dabbled danger
ously in politics.
It used money obtained from the
profits of its legitimate operations and
from unsuspecting investors in It's
fatty degenerated stock for the promo
ton of all sorts of old and even reck-
less plans of worldwide extension.
By this process it built up ar
amount of fixed charges which 1t
could not meet and receiver had to
step in and simplify the situation. The
moral of the matter may be put IN
these words: That when trust promo
tiers are swayed by greed and not by
sound business principles the end OF
their scheming is a foregone conclu-
sion, and in most cases is already IN
sight.
The legislative power of states and
the nation is busy in devising schemes
to prevent the trust evil.
In the meantime it is occasionally
curing itself by exhibiting in its own
disasters the inevitable results of defy
ing the fixed laws of finance and
trade.-Courier Journal.

OVERHEAD WIRES.

Among the city nuisances with
which the coming years will have to
deal energetically is the cumbering of
the streets with overhead wires, says
the Springfield {Mass. )zDaily Republl-
can. A network of wire is not only
ugly in itself but it destroys the
beauty of a street. No one who has
seen busy thoroughfare cleared OF
all this wire rigging overhead can fall
to have noted the great relief to the
eye, the effect of trimness and large
ness given by the removal of all this
cumbersome apparatus, which is as
out of place in public thoroughfare
as clothes line in a parlor. :.
The transfer cannot be made all
at once, and it is already going on
slowly. It is to be seen to with vigil
anee that there be no needless delay IN
efecting change which is imperative
on both utilitarian and aesthetic
grounds. Here the representatives OF
the people will from time to time have
an opportunity to do good work, not,
in an unreasonable spirit but with
steady frmness.
The ideal not to be reached at once,
but some time, is the common great
conduit underground, huilt and owned
by the city and giving room for all
wires. The mechanical difficulties are
considerable, but not insurmountable.
Cambridge intends to try the expert
ment, and when there are sufficient
data Springfield will doubtless be
prompt to adopt system bringing SO

lingoism at its Worst.

Sole Washington corresponding,
who are either unusually excltable
themselves or have been stuffed" by
interested parties are sending to the
newspapers which employ them some
of the worst rot that we have ever seen
perpetrated upon the public.
The first wonder is that these pre-
tended prognosticators would dare to
| perpetrate such stuff upon men who
possess facilities of up-to-date in
formation and presumably have at
least average sense.
And yet we see in several papers
which usually take a reasonable view
of situations lot of stuff about the
inevitability of war between the
United States and Germany. Why?
Simply because Germany proposes
to enforce the collection of debt
that Venezuela owes some of her cltl-
zens.
There are politicians in both Vene-
zuela and the United States who con-
tend that the assertion of Germany's
force for any such purpose would be
violation of the Monroe doctrine and
would provoke the United States to
warn Germany not to pursue her we'll
advertised plan of procedure against
her delinquent South American credit
or. This is one of the widest attempts
to stretch the application of the Mon
roe doctrine that we have heard of.
| q Germany has declared that this debt
must be paid and has backed up this
assertion by placing few war ships
within easy reach of Venezuelan ports.
The force that she has located in
this quarter is not formidable to our
navy but quite sufficient to bring Ven
ezuela to terms.
The method which Germany seems
to have determined upon is not to use
this naval force for the purpose of In
| hicting injury upon Venezuela, for
seizing any part of her territory, or
for exacting the concession of naval
station on the Venezuelan coast. The
German navy has been merely ordered
| to enforce the German claim, which
does not seem to be disputed, by col
lecting a sufficient part of the duties
at Venezuelan ports to satisfy it.
Where and how the Monroe doctrine
comes in here we are not able to per
ceive. If there had been the slightest
prospect that Germany contemplated
any action that could be considered an
infringement it is passing belief that
our government would not bave dis
| covered it before this time.
It is impossible to believe that Ger
many would have proceeded as far as
she has in this matter against Vene-
zuela if she had not understood that
she was in no way treading upon our
cherished Monroe doctrine.
The idea that Germany has sent q
little piece of navy to provoke row
with our government which has a
vastly superior force within such easy
reach is ridiculous. And yet some
very staid old newspapers, to say moth
| ing of those whose main purpose is to
create an alarm, are publishing a
lot of dribble about an imminent war
with Germany over a petty debt that
the kaiser claims from second-class
South American republic.-Atlanta

The Panama Route.

Now that the Panama Canal COM
pany will agree to accept $40, 000, 600
sentiment is changing in favor OF that
route in preference to the Nicara-
guam. The Isthmian Canal Commis-
sion would have recommended 1t, had
it known that it could be bought at
such reasonable price. Here is ore
of the concluding paragraphs which
was written in the face of the demand
of NJ. Hutin, president Of the conf
pany, for sum between SlOO,000,0 ,0OO
and sl10, 900, coo:
ssThere are certain physical advant-
ages, such as a shorter canal line, "a
more complete knowledge of the coun-
try through which it passes, and lower
cost of maintenance and operation IN
favor of the Panama route, but the
price fixed by the Panama Canal Com
pany for a sale Of it's property and
franchise is so unreasonable that its
acceptance cannot be recommended oy
this commission.
a Chicago dispatch contains an in
terview with Col. O. Il. Ernst, a
member of the commission, and now
stationed at Chicago, in which ne says
the commission would recommend
that rozte if it can get it for $40, 0O0,-
600. He said:
ssThe superiority of the Panama
route as shorter and cheaper route
has never admitted of any question.
The first French company spent
500. coo, 600 on the Panama canal, and
the new company has spent possibly
$40, OO0, 900, mere. But we estimate
that we could do all that has been
done for $40, COO, 900 and that is all we
are willing to pay for it. Ii the com
pany should come to our terms the
commission would probably recon-
mend our Government to close the
bargain. That is, we would do so If
we Waere asked, for we would have no
right to make a recommendation un-
less it was called for.
.sOur figures are based on the estl-
mates for completing the two routes.
We estimate that we can construct
the Nicaragua canal for $50, COO, coo,
and that we can finish the Panama
canal for S144. 600, coo, and that, there
fore. if we could get the Panama canal
for $40, 0OOO,0O, it would pay us to
adopt that route; otherwise the Nlca-
raeua route is for Us the most econom-
i've attach no Importance to the
earthquake danger IN Nicaragua nor
TO the doldrums, as the Gains of the
Panama route are called.
s.We think more Of the cost Of main
tenance, which will be s., 300, 600 for a
year for Nicaragua and 81, 900, 900 for
Panama.
ssThese considerations may yet settle
the matter in favor of the route short
er by twenty hours and afordlIg a
deep-sea level, as against the long and
more expensive Nicaragua scheme. A
great deal of lobbying, however, IS
probable by the advocates OF both
routes. Courier Journal.
