AN EDITORIAL BY mAcAuLAv.

Al around the world convused by the agones of great nations. Governments which lately seemed likely stand during ages have been on sudden shaken and overthrown. The prondes capitals of Western Europe have streamed with blood An evil passions the thirst and the thirst of vengeance the antpahy of to class the antpaty race to race have broken loose from the control of divine and human laws Fear and anxiety couded the faces and depressed the hearts of millions
 Trade has been suspended and industry parayzed The rich have become poor and the poor have become poorer Doctrines hostile to all sciences to all arts, to all industry to all domestic charities doctrines which carried into would thirty years all that thirty have done for mankind and would make he fairest provinces and Germany savage Congo wiids and Patagonia, have been ayowed from the tribune and defended by the sword.
 Europe has been threatened with the subjugation by barbarians compared with whom the barbarians who marched under Atia and Albon were enlightened and humane The friends of the people have with deep sorrow owned that interests more precious than any be necessary sacrifice even liberty in order to save civilization"

ARMS EMBARGO FOR MEXICO.

The next step in treatment of Mexico is expected to be embargo the shipment of arms from the United States In the present situation, such em- Pargo would accomplish double purpose. | First, would make it harder the Mexican factions Do carry their fruess warfare and would thus drive hem possibly, compose their differences and adopt } peace plan.
 Second, it would deprive the warning clements of the bower to make strong resistence in case we were obliged later to send army of pacacaton the country.
 Mexico makes very little of its own ammunition and apparently of its own rifles or cannon Since the European war began the revoluuonsts have been de. pendent almost entirely American intuition The leaders have been allowed to import arms and am munton from the United after brief embargo during period when with us seemed imminent in the expectation that they would fight it out and bring the various revolutionary movements to definite con clusion.
 That hope has failed In spite of the warning given them by President Wilson the factiona leaders are far apart ever with nobody possessing enough power to establish a stable government The sooner we clap the lid by cutting their fighting supplies the bet ter for everybody concerned.

T4E POWER OF 4 SHERIFF.

There a serious strike Bayonne, N. J. It broke out in Standard oil plant and spread to several neigh boring factories Shooting began, and three strikers killed Feeling ran high The strikers and the factory guards The local police authorities dodged their responsibility The governor refused to send the militia
 Then Eugene F. Knkead sherin of Hudson County, got the game He decided to stop the strike right there and then-and he did.
 He went to the employers. and made them promise that if the back they would treated fairly He the employees with this pledge, and demand that they call the strike of. He went into a besicged factory and arrested guards charged with shoot ing strikers He seized a strike leader made him con that was rank outsider and so thoroughly sub dued that worthy that the strikers abandoned him
 He ordered all the saloons closed and cappcd into jail the saloonkeepers failed the order seriously He asked lc police authorities of Bayonne and Jersey City aid him, and when they refused he arrested ,he officials and the uniformed men he needed He dis armed all the armed strikers, and personally punched and arrested bellgerent trouble makers. the office of a factory defended by guards. de manded that they surrender to him. The company's preanatiyes refused He drew his revolver and threat oned to blow their heads off,. and they yielded He marched go guards and confscated their rifles and revolvers.
 The sheriff was impartial He subdued or removed every element of vioence potential on either side. Whoever got in his way or questioned his au thority, was forthwith thrown into jail.
 And before the community recovered from it's aston ishmen the strikers had to work the factories were running again usual and the employers were fig uring voluntary" increases in their wage scales.
 This may be ideal way to settle industrial dis Dutes. But serves to call attention to the immens, power which vested the orice sheriff. whcl is generally ignored in a crisis
 The sheriff is the supreme executive of his county. spite of the encroachments and prestige of muncipa with their trained poce forces the sheriff is stin supreme when he chooses assert himself In time public disorder he has powers of a military die tator He can summon his assistance all the able bodied citizens. He them, feed them pay them delegate his authority to them He has no superio officers except the governor and the president
 Sheriff Kinkead has given inspiring lesson in th possibilities of his office which might well be taken t heart by every sheriff in the United States.

The activity in investment circles is

been y much larger absorption OF sc
curities by American investors than is
homo buying power is still very con-
siderable, Notwithstanding business
reaction and declining dividends or

good buying, especially of bonds. The
supply has come from foreign selling,
as we'll as from new local offerings. all
Of " hich have been taken with surpris-
ing readiness. Foreign liQuida ton has
really been more pronounced than at
any time since the rcopeuinS of the
stock Exchange, and much of the sell
ing was on German account. which
must be expected from this quarter for
some time to come. There was also
an increase of selling on British ac-
count. although the movement from
this source has not yet assumed i'm

Of financial Improvement. however. was

are bound to have an important future
effect. When tho war is over other

Substantial results are shown by the

Of about 100000 farmers They re-
ceived detailed reports from 3,5l2
farmers covering 1886 acres in cot
ton, 2+.2S1 acres in corn and 1883
acres In miscellaneous crops.
Tho average yield of cotton per acre
OF fields cultivated In accordance with
their advice was 1855 pounds OF seed
cotton, as compared with the average
of 513 pounds per acre in fields where
their advice was not followed The
average Yield OF corn per acre in fields
grown in accordance with their ad-
vice was forty and four ffths bushels,
as compared with eighteen and two
ffths bushels per acre in fields where

A striking feature OF the report is
the good s howinG made in boil wcvil
territory, where many farmers. not

cultural development work Of the com
