The assertion often made by GER
tain school of political economists that
the amount of land cannot be in
creased or diminished is very far from
correct when geological time is con-
sidered. Even within historic times
we know that many famous cities
which were once seaports are now far
inland. The city of Adria, in north

WHO GOT ITp

A correspondent, writing on the car
toon which appeared in The Indepen-
dent showing the farm in the spring
time, says:
IF this is the John Samuels farm,
the railroads and trusts got the first
half and the mortgage will probably
get the balance, with all the accumu-
lated interest at or before his tSam-
uels) death, probably before. A sl2,-
600 salaried judge could have paid for
1t in six months. This Is designated

Gated in New York or Pennsylvania II

soRRowruL NEW YORK POST

The Independent is sometimes criti-
cised for its vigorous language, the
most Of such protests coming from
the New England states and New
York. During the campaign atten-
ton was called to the strenuous Ian
guage used in the Boston and Spring
field, Mass, papers. Now here comes
the New York Post, that exemplar in
elegant writing, and remarks concern
ing the defeat of Low: Hell was
stirred up from beneath last night, in
the worst quarters of this city, to well
come the Tammany victory. AS much
as that we begin by admitting"
That is as much more strenuous"
than anything that pop editor ever
wrote concerning defeat in Nebras-
ka, as the editor of the Post is sup
posed to be more cultured" than the
shirt-sleeyed pencil-pushers who edit
pop papers and report political
speeches delivered in sod school
houses.
The editor of the Post was exceed
ing sorrowful and like the men of his
class turned to his library to hunt for
consolation. At last he found this:
What! know We not the gains of
Crime
Are dust and dross?"
1t was simply human for the editor
of the Post to fly to the poets for con-
ISOLATION. Usually the plutocratic edi-
tor finds little there to help him,
while to the populfst editors, the poets
contain the stirring songs that fill
their souls with hope and courage.
After a defeat the populist editor us
ually quotes this stanza:
Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne:
But that scaffold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch upon His own"
After a paragraph or two telling
them that the next campaign is now
on" he winds up with the following
lines:
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again,
TIL eternal weight of years are hers;
While Error, wounded, writhes in pain
And dies among her worshipers."
After that he feels all right, sits
down to his desk and 4goes for" the
trusts, the tariff grafters, railroad ex-
tortionists, the money power and the
whole gang of plutocrats with more
vigor than ever. He tells them that
"the old guards die, but never sur
render"
The Independent commends the
courage of the populist editor to the
attention Of the sorrowful man wEo
edits the New York Post.

The description Of the Indian war;
out in Wyoming given in this paper
last week proved to be correct. Indian
Agent Brennan at Newcastle, Wyo.,
has informed the commissioner Of
Indian affairs that the reports of the
Indian trouble were exaggerated. He
says seven Indians were killed and
that the fight was precipitated by
white men.
All the demands of the Chartists--
the movement of the middle class peo-
pie in England in the third decade Of
the last century-have been incorpor-
ated In the constitution of Australia
with the exception of annual parlia-
ments. They were long since adopted
in Great Britain. But the Chartist
movement suffered more persecution
and greater disasters than the popul-
lst party ever did In this country, be-
fore the Chartlst principles were ac-
eepted and enacted into law. The
chartists fought ON until they con-
quered and so will the populists OF tha

You recognized Henry Courtenay?"

"Two-thirty, l think. 1t goes up express

II must go at once to town. There's
work for me there-delicate work. What
you've told me places a new phase upon the

Does it strengthen our clue? ?" l asked.
"In a certain degree-yes. 1t makes clear
one point which was hitherto a mystery"
And also makes 1t plain that poor Mrs
Courtenay met with foul play?" 1 suggested.
"Ahi' For the moment this latest de-
velopment of the affair is quite beyond

PUZZLE FOR TAXPAYERS.

The Phenix Saturday Review, of
Nov. 7, has the following puzzle
which will be of interest to the tax
payers of this territory, and which
might afford them some degree of sat
isfactIon:
"House Bill No. IA, otherwise
known as the Cowan bill, was signed
by Governor Brodie and became
law on March Is, 1903. From that
time until October 3lst, 1903, a little
more than six months, the territory
has collected in fees from the filing
of articles of incorporation over TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, over nineteen
thousand of which sum has been pro-
fit to the territory.
at will be remembered that Secre-
tary Stoddard reported to Governor
Brodie, when the legislature was in
session, that in eighteen months be
had collected in fees the sum of fif-
teen thousand dollars. The number
of articles of incorporation fled prior
to the passage of the Cowan bill was
just as great and even more than dur
ing the time the fees have gone into
the territorial treasury, so it can
readily be seen how far Secretary
Stoddard' s report was from being true.
According to the amount of fees col
lected by the Territory, viz, Twenty
thousand dollars in six months Secre-
tary Stoddard must have collected at
least sixty thousand dollars in
eighteen months. He reported that he
had collected but fifteen thousand
dollars-a variance of forty five thou
sand dollars
Now, here is the puzzle:
eff Secretary Stoddard had enough
gall to report that he had collected
but fifteen thousand dollars in
eighteen months, when he had collect
ed sixty thousand dollars, how much
gall would he have needed to have
reported that he had not collected any
fees at all?''

Marriage Settlement.

New York, Nov l0.-''The marriage
settlement is one of numerous fea-
lures of ithe wedding of Miss
May Goelet and the duke of Rox-
burghe concerning which many con-
flicting reports have been made in
print. George g. Dewitt, the lawyer
for the Goelet estate, was asked today
if any mutual ante-nuptial settlement
had been made. He replied:
'There has been no marriage settle
ment. The report that English law
yers came to this city to arrange a
marriage settlement is without foun-
dation in fact. There has been moth
ing for English lawyers to do in con-
nection with the marriage"
Under the will of her father, Miss
Goelet has enjoyed large income,
over which she has absolute control.
Eventually, she will come into pos
session of a part of the principal OF
the estate under certain conditions.
