THE FARMERS ARE MIGHTY.
Baltimore american.


In his seventh annual report the Secretary
of Agriculture, Hon. James Wilson, pays a
high compliment to the farmers of the United
States, proving by facts and figures that the
favorable balance to the credit of this country
is due entirely to them. The balance of trade
in favor of farm products in the last fourteen
years aggregated nearly five billions of dollars
In the same period, in products other than
those of the farm, the balance of trade was
adverse to this country to the extent of nearly
a billion. The farmers not only Cancelled this
obligation, but placed nearly four billions of
dollars 10 the credit of this nation when the
books ofinternational exchange were balanced.
The annual exports of farm products have
grown to enormous proportions and are rapid
ly reaching the billion-dolar mark every year.
There may be falling off the present yenr on
account of the large grain crops of Russia and
other lands, but with the opening of new
countries andtheir development the demand
will increase, and the United States will con-
tinue to be the granary of the world.
The Department of Agriculture has q vast
field for its labors, and criticism is frequently
passed upon it for its heavy outlay for investi-
cations, the benefit of which many cannot
appreciate. 1t is hard to convince some peo-
PIC tudb any ldiBC dLuOuuJ Vi ocl6DLluC kuOWl-
edge is needed for the successful tilling of the
soil, and yet those who have made even
cursory study of the subject know that the
agricultural experiments conducted under Gov
eminent auspices have added millions upon
millions to the value of the farm lands of the
United States. There have been mistakes
made-many of them, doubtless-and not
little money has been wasted by the free dis
tribution of seeds in wholly unbusiness
manner, sending them to thousands of people
who have no use for them, and frequently dis
tributing the commonest kind of seeds, which
could be purchased for small sum in any
town or village Still even the free distribu-
ton of seeds against which so many protest as
an unwarranted waste of public money, has
some features to commend it, and Secretary
Wilson points out in his report how he is do
ing all in his power to confne the distribution
to seeds which are needed, and to place them
only in the hands of those who will make
good use of them.
This department costs the Government
about five millions of dollars year, and the
amount is not extravagant when the work
done is thoughtfully considered. Its value is
well appreciated by the agricultural interests
of this country, and those interests have not
only been of paramount Importance in the
past development of this great land, but must
always occupy the highest place as factors in
the wealth and progress of the republic.

IT SEEMS the leading hotel men of Chicago
are putting up job to fleece those who attend
the Republican National Convention in that
city next June by raising the rates to about
four times what is usually charged. Steps
have already been taken by members of the
National Committee to nip this job in the bud
by notifying the hotel men that if they per-
sist in what they propose that the committee
will recoDvene and change the place of the
conventions assembling. THE will no doubt
bring the hotel barons to their senses They
are great men, no doubt, but they don't own
the earth

THE OTHER day man was to be tried in
New Orleans for the murder of district-at-
torney, says the Independent. There were 81
talesmen summoned for jury duty. OF these
ITO declared under oath that they would not
condemn man to death for any crime, and
Sc others that they would not convict on cir
cumstantial evidence. That is 1855 out of 511
more than half the number declared them
selves untitled to serve on jury. They were
asked if they would desire the death by law of
one who murdered or ravished one nearest to
them, and they said, No. But some of these
men took part in the lyncbing of the Italians
a few years ago. 1t would appear that this
tenderness of conscience was temporary, and
only lasted as long as there was danger of be-
ing called from business to do jury duty.

THE GOVERNOR AND HIS SALARY
Frederick Mems.

Frederick News.
Governor-elect Warfeld has announced his
intention to occupy the Executive Mansion at
Annapolis during his term of Office. and it is
said that he and his wife during the four years
following his Inauguration will entertain on
generous SCALE Mr.. Warfied and his wife are
noted for their hospitality, and it is expected
that the reputation which they have establish
ed at their Howard county home will be main
tanned at Annapolis. where they will have
many guests and give frequent entertainments
in addition to the formal dinnersian recep-
tions which no Governor can very(well avoid.
This means that Mr.. Warfield's expenses while
Governor will far exceed his salary of 81, 500
year, and what he spends above that amount,
added to his election expenses, will make the
Governorship for him quite an expensive
honor.
Fortunately Mr.. Warfield can very we'll afford
this expense, and no complaint will be heard
from him regarding the meagerness of the sal
ary paid him by the State. The fact that it is
practically impossible for Governor of Mary
land to maintain the dignity and traditions of
the Office upon this allowance may well give
rise, however, to the question whether the
salary should not be increased. The mayors
of most large cities are paid larger salaries, and
compared with the salaries of Governors of
other states and officers of the national govern
ment to say nothing of the salaries paid by
large corporations to their principal officers,
the salary of the Governor of Maryland is al
most ridiculously small. As matter of fair
ness and justice to the Governor, it may be
argued that the salary should be increased, and
an increase may also be advocated in the States
interest.
With the salary at its present figure, the num-
Der of men who may aspire to this Office is
necessarily limited. To be sure Maryland has
never suffered for lack of capable men willing
to serve as Governor but conditions which
make it practically impossible for a man to &C.
cept the Office unless he has large private means
upon which to draw for his expenses are radi-
cally wrong.

Col. WIN. JENNINGS BRYAN, who is now
abroad, is having the time of his life. He is
being entertained by the crowned heads and
other dignataries. While in st. Petersburg on
the 21st he had an audience with the Gar, fol-
lowing which he was entertained at dinner by
Ambassador Mccormick. In response to Col.
Bryan's inquiry concerning the progress of
public instruction in Russia His Majesty gave

ton in the Russian empire, showing an inti-
mate knowledge of educational methods and
the statistics relating thereto.

EMINENT AUTHORITIES on insanity take the
same view of the harmful influence of sensa-
tional newspaper accounts of crime that ex-
Governor Hamilton, of Illinois, took in the
following utterance in Chicago recently The
tendency is to excite the public mind and pre-
sent thieves highwaymen and bandits as
heroes and many boys and weak-minded men
are influenced to disrespect law and frown
upon decency." Much the same thing is to be
said of exaggerated accounts of efforts made
by cranks to get into the White House or meet
the President when he is travelling. Too much
big headline and sensational fine writing in
spire the weak minds of other cranks SO that
their numbers become legion. 1t would be
well to give such cranks but few lines, unless
they represent big secret cause. There is a
crank going the rounds with little Ratchet
for the sake of the advertisement.

ACCORDING TO the Railwdy Age the total rail-
way mileage of the United States on January
1st 1904, will be 2OS,855 miles, the present
year having added 5,723 miles. This mileage
takes into account all of the new track laid up
to the last days of the year. Compared with
1902, the present year is about on parity in
matter of railroad construction. The con-
struction reported was done CD $50 lines and in
thirty states and territories. Early in
the year it was shown that there were $500
miles of railroad under construction, but labor
troubles and financial difficulties caused some
of the work to be abandoned.
