Into the notable clois.er Of profess
sors with which redemptionism has
lendowed us, one more has entered. 1t
lis Mr.. Truxton. the agent OF the gov
ernrlent for the sale of Porto Rlcan
coffee in New York.
AS to the competency of this func-
tio1ary for discharging succe sstully
| the ma tier entrusted to his care there
existed various and we'll founded
doubts which he has taken upon him.
self to dissipate, giving us at the same
(time the most gideonlc OF all the let's
sons we have received since the dae-
of the invasion.
Who, henceforth, will be able to
question, or doubt the ability of Mr.
Truxton, his competency, his pro-
found knowledge of all that relates to
|coffe, his rare and phenomenal busl-
ness sagacity?
His letter addressed to Governor
Winthrop, which was published in an
important evening paper, has revealed
|Mr. Truxton in new role. an aspect
we never would have dreamed Of,
Notwithstanding our being prepared
for any kind of surprises and happen
ings, thanks to the operations of the
new methods so prolific in eXtravag
ances and wonders.
Mr.. Truxton has given us an unex'
pected lesson.
It is not that he wishes to overwhelm
us with his successes; it is that he is
|observinp cne of the obligations of a
member of the congregation, in max
ling public display of his obstinate
Ignorance, Which is characteristic
trait of redemptionism and of the ab-
surd haughtinesss of our tutors.
Mr.. Truxton though of a very
modest hierarchy. belongs to the
provident:al order of superior beings.
Therefore he could not refrain from
deluging us with his views.
We have all varieties here; some
talk of sociology, in general; others of
Education and Democracy: but this
one has wanted to beat the record in
explanations by talking to us about
coffee.
This is the same as if we pretended
to teach Mr.. Vanderbilt the art of
making millions!
To come to 3 coffee country, t.. a
country which produces one OF tie
finest grains in the world, one OF the
most superior grades Of coffee known
which in Europe is Judged to be the
'only rival of Mocha-and attempt to
teach us the proper way of toasting
the bean in order to give it brilliancy
and other effects equally trifiing,
moves one to amusement and laughter
more than to the indignation which
great insolences produce.
We have heard many things, have
listened 70 countless gldeonisms dur
ing the last seven years, but anyth'
ing equal to this latest one, we have
never before heard.
Why this desire Of mesocracy 70
assume the role of Educator
Why this insistence of the functio-
naries to act as our instructors. at

EDITORIAL

tempting to teach us things we have
heard to the point of safety?
Every continental official here wis.,
hes to be teacher and believes him
self preeminently qualified for the po-
sition.
Not a day passes without one of
those sham teachers pretending to
teach us something. or to have disco
vered something new, which in their
opinion is the latest manifestation OF
progress, the latest conquest OF know
ledge resulting from the new methods.
And this is becoming very tiresome
and monotonous for those who are un-
willing auditors.
Mr.. Truxton has, at least, broken
the monotony of the daily classes, has
interrupted the sermons with which
our illustriouS imported functionaries
aspire to conquer our supposed igno-
rance.
He has made us laugh. though at
his own expense; but in the midst iof
this transitory joy we could not over
look the real intention of our exotic
coffee promoter.
His intention was not to amuse us,
he aspired to become teacher.
Mr. Truxton has new and wonder
full information to impart. He says
that the merchants have raised the
price of coffee and thar the agricultu
rists do not participate in the difference.
This is in accord with the treacher-
ous practises of the congregation.
To place the blame for their own
failures upon those who are in no way
responsible, is an act worthy OF the
reverend congregation and redemp-
zionist double dealing,
The idea that the price of an article
or of a product is at the mercy of the
wileS OF merchant and not based on
the value it may have in the market,
its quality and the reputation it pos
sesses, is ridiculous and absurd he
seems to overlook The fact that there
are economic Ia ws which cannot be al
tered by any inordinate desire of profit
that merchant may have.
If the agent of the government does
not know these elemental principles
of economy, he ought, before writing
his second letter. to fami1iarize himself
with them, in order not to perpetrate
fresh absurdities which will only make
more evident the mistake of the 60
vernment in appointing him to this
charge, which could be filed more
acceptably by the most unenlightened
of his pretended pupils.
The frankness with we speak is re-
ndered obligatory by the stupidity and
want of consideration shown by those
bureaucrats, whose maintenance toge-
ther with the resulting ruin, occasions
US insufferable annoyances.
Our comments and contentious may
seem hard. and it is unpleasant to
have to make them, but they are rem
dered necessary by existing condi-
tons.
The bureaucrats have bee ome over
bearing and insupporta BILE.

GOT THE WRONG HEIFER.
Error of Judgment Cost Congressman
Even $1,000.

Congressman Beidler of Ohio, is be-
wailing the loss of $1,000. He has a
fine dairy farm just outside of Cleve-
land and keeps some very fine stock
there A few days ago he attended a
sale of some blooded heifers, includ-
ing one which had won blue ribbon
at the st. Louis fair. A fine young ami
NAL was put up, but Beidler decided it
was not the right one and was sure
of it when the price only reached 5000.
The next heifer was beauty and the
congressman got into action as bid
der, finally securing it for $1,000. The
animal was sent to his farm at once.
Next day a Cleveland man met Mr..
Bedler, who was in a very ugly mood.
Whats the matter, Jake?" asked his
friend. "Matter?" yelled Beidler.
Whats the matter Why, that heifer
bought for $1,000 wasn't the prize
winner at all and the one let go for
5000 was!"

Education in New York

Agitation against fads in. public
schools continues with great fury in
New York city. One father declares
that his boy is now ready to be grad
uated, but does not know the name
of a single general who participated
III the civil war, the time or place Of
a single battle either in the civil war
or revolutionary war, the capitals of
five states in the union, the name of a
single member of the presidents cab
met, the route of single trunk line
running out of New York, the names
of the FIVE borOughs constituting the
city of Greater New York, the location
of the capital of the state or the name
of the present governor or how to
reach Hoboken by ferry. This prodigy
of ignorance lives in Harlem and
passes for a bright boy among his fell
lows.

FARMERS READ THE BULLETINS
Enormous Number of Government
Publications Now Printed.

The number Of Farmers Bulletins
printed during the year was Ais, of
which 20 were new publications, and
the aggregate number of copies 6,435,-
600. In spite of every effort to keep
down the cost of these publications.
the amount expended slightly exceed
ed one and one-half cents a copy, the
limit set as fair average cost.
The Congressional distribution has
far exceeded all previous years. The
popularity of this class of publications
among senators and representatives
grows very rapidly. Very nearly
100000 of them were distributed
upon the orders of senators and repre-
sentatives and delegates, an excess
over the previous year of $50 900. Dur
ing the past three years this con-
gressional distribution has absorbed
over 100000 copies of Farmers Bull
letins alone, a number far exceeding
the aggregate number so distributed
up to that time; this Notwithstanding
that the appropriations for the Con-
gressional distribution began with
1895.

EnqIish Purchases Of Wheat

The reports Of the wheat market in
England indicate that shipments from
the United States have undergone a
great falling off during the present
year. The cereal year in the United
Kingdom ends on Aug. 81 of each cal
endar year. We still lead the world,
but were closely pressed by India and
with Russia coming not far behind.
Four or five years ago we were selling
to the people of the United Kingdom
nearly two-thirds of their wheat, while
in the last year our sales have dropped
to only about a quarter of their pur-
chases. Whether this is forecast of
a permanent change it is probably too
soon to decide. Certain it is, however,
that the record of the cereal year 19O-
exhibits the poorest relative showing
we have made in the English market
in wheat selling for more tina a quar-.
ter of century.

To Protect Investing Public.

Mr. Rigley has introduced in the
New York state assembly bill to pre-
vent the fleeing of the public through
misleading representations by mining
and oil companies. The measure pro-
vides that no shares in any mining
or oil corporations shall be sold in
that state unless a sworn statement
has been previously filed with the
secretary of state showing the finan-
cial condition of the company, the To-
cation of it's mines or oil properties
and other details. Any violation of
the law is made punishable by a fine
of 500 for each offense.

"eraftInaD in Russia a Science.

Some idea of how the Russian
"grafter" does his work may be gath
cred from a story now going the
rounds of European capitals. Prof.
Tuxen, the Danish painter, recently
handed over to the czar a copy of his
picture of King Edwards coronation,
which he had been commissioned to
do. The emperor expressed satisfac-
ton with the work and handed the
painter an order for $1,000 rubles, the
price agreed upon. The order was pre-
sented to- the proper disbursing officer,
who gave Tuxen 5000 rubles, saying
the cars orders were never paid in
full. 1t happened that the painter had
another interview with his majesty,
when, by accident, the latter learned
OF what had occurred The czar at
once paid the 1000 rubles.
