NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How The Limited Was Stop

BY Holland.

Many persons have been misled by
characteristic expression of the face
of Roscoe Conkling into believing
that he was of sinister, cynical dis
position. contemptuous Of everything
which did not crafty his personal
vanity" said the late Colonel George
Bliss former United States district
attorney for the southern district Of
New York and for years a very in
innate personal and political friend
of both Chester A. Arthur and Roscoe
Conkling
THAT characteristic expression
upon Conklng's face was not a nor

an accident an accident. too, which
almost cost him his life. The scars
which we're established upon his lips
after the wound healed. were CON
cealed by his beard and mustache. but
the wound really caused a distortion
Of his mouth, and il was this which
created that unpleasant expression
which so many people noticed.
when he was a young man Conk-

horse. a magnificent animal owned

which that unusual expression as
we'll as the cut of the beard and that
quantity identified curl or lock which
fell down over his forehead, and which
was a salient feature for the cartoon
lists. the very lock which Blaine de-
scribed as a Hyperion curl, served the
senator at time Of considerable en-
barrassment I think it was in his
second term of service as United
States senator. at any rate it was n
q time when his face and figure had
become familiar to the American pub
lie through the work of the cartoon

There was a very important en-
gagement which Conkling made with
politician of great influence. He
expected to meet that politician at a
station just out Of the city of Balti-

of awarding the contracts for the inn

perience in that line has been most

COURTS WILL GIVE THE ANSWER.
From the Delaware Pilot.
It's the Attorney-General's job to
enforce the law. all the laws that the
people make just as it is the sawyer's
Job to saw up whatever timber his
employer has for him to saw up. The
and the sawyer are
both employed to do certain specific
things-one to enforce the law and
the other to saw wood. and il is up
to both to get busy or quit. And they
are not given the right to choose-the
Attorney General to set aside some
laws he doesn't like as matter OF
sentiment or personal interest 70

aside certain timber he does not like
to saw. That's the Attorney-Generals

that IL is his business to represent
persons who declare that the Attor-
lney-General is wrong in certain cases
and have evidence to fortify their as

but we do not feel that il is the right
thing TO knock the lawyers for repre-
lsenting the other side af the case re-

and Mr.. Hastings, may be right IN
this particular case, though we be-

in numbers and capacity, yet an an
alysis of cost, production and prices
does not seem to justify the farmers
in continuing in the business without
they can increase the production or
can secure better prices. Last year
the average yield of tomatoes fell be-
low five tons per acre, and while
Prof. McCue gives the average this
year as eight tons, we believe this
average Is almost two tons too high.
The average farmer selects from two
to six acres of his best land Tor the
tomato patch II is usually we'll
improved piece of land. and he man
urcs il and puts on about S6 worth
of phosphate per ace; he grows ms
plants at a small cost and spends a
great deal of care and time in put
ting them In and in cultivation. Then
along about the time for cutting off
corn and other pressing work he
picks and hauls So busy is his reg
ular help at the job that he is COM
PEELED to pay a gang of corn cutters
S175 each per day and board them.
If he gets off 300 baskets per acre,
he does we'll and he will receive $40
per acre. Deducting from this the
cost Of phosphate and plants and Ia
Dor and loss of time and convenience
would he not have done better with
/ corn or one of several other crops
According to Prof McCue, the prof
/ II on 6 tons of tomatoes per acre IS
$3.50. on tons $3.50 per acre, on
tons $3.50, on 9 tons $3.50, on 10

/ tons $3.50. and on Is tons $3.50.
According 10 these figures the cost
of phosphates, growing. delivery, etc,
Of tons per acre is about $40. The
average farmer grows tomatoes be-

10 tons per acre or he should get

he can't do this he would do better
