We have been so long and so thor.
oughly accustomed to seeing foreigners
come to America to live and be merged
into our citizenship that we can scarce
~ realize the strange and startling fact
that thousands of our best people are
leaving as to locate in the British
Northwest Territories. Immigrants have
come to America to better their condi-
ton. Now American farmers, the bone
and sinew Of the country, are expatri-
attng themselves in shoals to better
their condition! It seems a thing in
credible, but nevertheless 1t is true.
When we read of this hegira of our
citizens to King Edwards dominions in
the frozen north we have to pinch our
selves to discover whether we are
awake or dreaming. The movement
has become so widespread and alarm
ing as to cause universal comment in
the great newspapers Of the land. 1t
- said that an Investigation has been
set on foot to ascertain the reason Of this
reversal Of the process Of 400 years.
1t requires no investigation. The cause
Is not far to seek. The reason is that
certain schedules Of the Dingley bill
bear so heavily and unjustly on the
farmers that many of them have made
up their minds to leave their native
land and to become British subjects
rather than endure these burdens lon
ger. They go in order to secure those
homes for their children in foreign
land which they are unable to secure
here. 1t is not joyful pilgrimage. It
must be most painful performance to
an American to quit the shelter Of the
stars and stripes under which his IA
theirs fought at Trenton, Monmouth and
the Brandywine, at Kings Mountain,
the Cowpens and Yorktown, at Sarato-
60 and New Orleans, and live under the
union Jack Of England. But that it is
being done is patent to all who having
eyes see and having ears hear. To

Walter Wellman, the famous news
paper man, places Rhode Island in "the
doubtful column" as he alleges, from
inside information" from the Repub-
lican big wigs at Washington. 1t
appears that at last they are waking
up to realization Of their peril. This
may be the cause of their eXtraordi-
nary efforts at fat frying.

Coming Homo to Roost.
Under this tersely suggestive head
ing the able and Independent Wash
tngton Post discourses thus on the
Wisconsin troubles Of the grand old
humbug:
The Republican legislatures In . number
OF western states adopted q plan few
years ago to nullify the fusion tactics Of
the Popultsts and Democrats. In several
states, Wisoonsin and Kansas among the
number. laws were passed prohibiting
candidates for Office from allowing their
names to be printed on an ofacial ballot
under moro than one party designation.
The purpose was to compel the candidate
OF the fusionists to elect under which ban
ner he would hght thus disrupting the
component organizations among the fu-
zion parties and in many instances ma
ferially reducing the votes Of the fusion
candidates. Wisconsin Republicans are
now faced with the prospect Of harvest
ing the seeds sown by that legislation.
Under the Wisconsin law. passed ~ q
scheme for defeating fusion candidates,
the candidates are forbidden from having
their names appear more than once on an
official ballot. Although the La Toilette
by Senators Spooner and Quarles-norni-
mated the same candidates for presiden-
tial electors. these names cannot be placed
in more than one column. II they are in
the La Toilette column they cannot ap-
pear in the Cook column, Cook being the
''stalwart" candidate for governor against
La Toilette. Then, to add to the compli-
cations, seven OF the thirteen candidates
for electors have declared their intention
OF remaining upon the La Toilette ticket.
no matter what action is taken In the
Chicago convention or in the courts. Thus
the statute which was passed as q Re-
publican measure Of protection is now be-
Ing invoked to perp1ex and possibly defeat
its authors.
Senator spooner's announcement. made
at Chicago, that the ''stafwarts" will not
place candidates for electors on their
ticket falls far short of clarifying the po-
nt1cal atmosphere in the Badger State. II
the Wisconsin courts decide that the
''stalwart" ticket Is entitled to the desig-
nation Republican" 1t would leave the
Roosevelt presidential electors on ticket
that would have to be filed by petition by
the La Toilette faction. II the courts, on
the other hand. recognize the La Toilette
ticket as the simon pure Republican. the
supporters of the "stalwart'' candidates
for state Offices win be compelled to vote
q scratched ticket in order to cast their
votes for Mr.. Roosevelt's electors. All stu
Dents Of political percentages know that
such a course would be embarrassing and
annoying to voters, and the state candi-
dates Of the "stalwarts" would suffer.

last. Now, after years of vio-
lent and voluble denial by
divers and sundry Republican
editors and spellbinders, comes the Al
bany N. " Journal, rampant Re
publican organ, and inadvertently adj
mits fact which Democrats have al
ways maintained-that the Fremont
tory symptoms Of the panic Of 1893
were discernible before the election of
1892. The Journal, speaking of that
election, says, Cleveland was elected,
and tariff agitation threw the coun-
try, already disturbed BY depressing
conditions, into state Of crisis" The
important words IL that sentence are,
Already disturbed by depressing con-
ditons," which II confession that
the hard times Of 1893 began IN 1892
under Republican administration and
under the Republican Mckinley tariff
law. That my readers may know what
sort of paper the Journal Ia, 1t IL
only necessary to state that It was
founded and for many years conducted
most ably conducted-by Thurlow
Weed, the alter ego of William 81.
Seward, who came near being the
Republican presidential nominee in
1850 in place of Abraham Lincoln.
For nearly q generation the great tri-
umvirate-Seward, Weed and Greeley
absolutely controlled the anti-Demo-
cratic forces Of the Empire State. It
was finally dissolved by the withdraw
al Of Horace Greeley-"the junior
member" as he styled himself-in one
of the most caustic epistles in our YER
nacular. This confession of the Jour-
nal Is reprinted in the American Econ
omist, the organ of the American Pro
tective Tariff league. Taken in con-
nection with the letter addressed by
Hon. Charles Foster, General Benja-
min Harrison's last secretary of the
treasury, on Feb. 20, 1S92-fourteen
days before Cleveland was sworn in,
nearly six months before the Demo.
cratic congress met-to the superin-
tendent Of the bureau of printing and
engraving, directing him to prepare
the plates on which to print $50, 900, 600
worth Of bonds to cover prospective
deficiency, 1t proves beyond cavil that
the Democrats have been correct in
their contention all the time as to the
origin Of the panic Of 1893. The Nc.
Kinley tariff bill and reckless Repub.
lican extravaganza caused 1t, and II
would have come all the same had
General Harrison been reelected.

A Plow With a History.
Nelo York Times


Theodore Pidcock, a farmer of Washington
township, N. j., has just come into possession
of what he says is the Oldest pillow in America.
He is negotiating to place it on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair in st. Louis. According to
tradition, the pillow is $50 years old, having
been brought over by the Dutch to New Am
sterdam in 1854. 1t remained in one family,
that of the Terriberrys, of Schooleys Noun
tain, for over 200 years and then was pur-
chased at an auction sale by Jonathan Pid-
cock, father of the present owner This,
they. say, is the pillow which was used in
breaking the ground for the famous Hack
ettstown- German Valley turnpike, over which
the revolutionary forces drew their cannon
after the battle of Trenton, and when they
were on their way to the defense of the famous
Jockey Hollow road. 1t is built on the same
principle as plows of today, except it has
wooden moldboard and wrought iron share
All the nuts have tall burrs on them for tight
ening and loosening with hammer, for in
the old days there were no wrenches There
is but one handle, which is to be held with the
left hand, the right hand guiding the horse.

Smaller Farms in Iowa.

One Of the most significant movements in the
Middle West, and especially in Southern Iowa,
is the decrease in the number of acres in the
farms that are worked. In the early days,
when land was cheap, the farmer could afford
to attempt to farm all be could see, and if he
did not succeed it made no difference but
since this land has risen in value from $40 to
500 per acre it has been found necessary to de-
crease the size of the farm. The farmer him.
self is better off for this because he is not
working so hard to make both ends meet, nor
trying to cover so much ground. He is max
ing, in fact, about as much on 100 acres, right
~ conducted, as be did on section of land in
the old days. The average size of the Iowa
farms is something less than 80 acres, and. as
general rule, the men are doug the work them
selves or, at least, with the help of one man.
The great growth of the dairy interests in the
State has helped to work this change.

a Road That Needs Immediate Atten-
ton Pot Spring road from the Cinder road
north past the farm of Mr.. VIM. II. Todd, is in
a terribly rough condition, particularly that
section by the farms of Messrs. r. Emory War
field, Richard Cromwell and Robert NJ. Deni-
son. This important thoroughfare is badly in
need of immediate attention. The side drains
should be opened and the loose stoned covered.
In its present shape the road is dangerous to
drive over A surveyor should be put on it to
control the water, which seems to be the main
cause of the trouble

Suit Against R. R. Company-Judgment
for Defendant.-A letter from Westminster
dated June 21st said "The trial of an impor-
tant case against the Northern Central Rail-
way Company, removed from the Circuit Court
for Baltimore county to the Circuit Court for
Carroll county, was begun here this afternoon.
'The title of the case is the State of Mary
land, use of William Ross VS.. the Northern
Central Railway Company, and the suit is an
action to recover $40, 600 damages from the de-
PENDANT for causing the death of Mrs. Mary
Alice Ross, wife of VIM. Ross. The declaration
of the plaintiff, in substance, is that Mrs.
Ross came to her death by being struck by an
engine of passenger train of the defendant at
Corbett, Baltimore county, May 8, 1903, and
negligence is attributed to the company's
agents. Itappears that Mrs. Ross, with Mrs.
McIlvane and her daughter, Miss McIlvane,
went to the station to take passage on train
OF the defendant and that as Mrs. Ross was
crossing the tracks to reach the train she was
to board she was struck by the engine of anoth-
er passenger train, running at high rate of
speed, the accident causing her DEATH"
The case was concluded on Wednesday and
defendant submitted a paper asking the court
to take the case from the jury upon the ground
that no evidence had been adduced to show
negligence on the part of the company or its
employees as cause of the accident. The pray
er was granted by the court and judgment en-
tered for the defendant.
