We trust that all our readers will pe
ruse tho very interesting nnd timely let
ter on paRe 2, In whieh Mr. Kdwnrd
B. SturKes of this city lays before the
public Mie ruse of the producer of an
thracite coal, and utterly demolishes
the fiction that a mutually protective
combination of anthracite Interests for
the flttliiR of output to demand is det
rimental to the public welfare. The
argument in It Is not new, but it is
exceedingly well gtated.
The Prospects of Arbitration.
The one conspicuous result of the
Washington conference for Interna
tional arbitration has been the educa
tion of the public up to the knowledge
that arbitration Is thoroughly practic
able between nations. Carl Sc hurz pre
sented a list showing that eighty In
ternational disputes had already
been settled by this country through
nrbltration, and settled so satis
factorily that the points originally
at issue have since not caused
trouble. If so much can be credit
ed to the civilized method of ar
bitrament prior to the development of
n vigorous popular demand for amic
able recourse, very much more may
with reason be expected when the lead
ing citizens of every great nation co
operate for peace.
It Is not contended by rational advo
cates of the civilized method that It
can. In a moment, aboll.sii war. Cer
tain forms of dispute are amenable to
no other decision than that of war,
fought to a finality. An Issue Involving
fundamental and Irreconcilable princi
ples, such an Issue, for example, as
culminated In the American civil war,
cannot be determined finally by arbi
tration. The graver the Issue, the
smaller the likelihood that a civil ver
dict will be accepted by the defeated
side. In rare cases, war Is a neces
sity which cannot be averted.
But as civilization advances such
crises are bound to become more and
more Infrequent. .Tust as civilization
tames the savage Into a being who pre
fers the orderly processes of conven
tional justice toi the bloody recourse of
mob law or personal vengence, so Is It
taming the nations. Governments, In
this day of popular suffrage and the
democratic spirit, reflect not the arbi
trary caprices of a single absolute ruler
nor the prejudices of any particular
cabal, but the average morality and
the average Intelligence of the people.
It follows, therefore, that when popu
lar opinion calls for the appeal of In
ternational differences to reason, gov
ernments must obey. There will be
such a call in all cases that do not
concern trlde or honor, and even In
cases that do concern them, it Is prob
able that arbitration will eventually
take the place of war more times than
it will give place to war. To think
otherwise would be equivalent to doubt

for McKlnley, that will come pretty
close to deciding the front name on the
ticket.
No More Fake New States.
There are two very good obstacles to
Congressman Scranton's scheme of
statehood honors for Arizona, New
Mexico and Oklahoma. One Is the sen
ate. The other is the president.
Though the senate might fall, the
president will not. His speech at the
New York home missions meeting gave
proof that, he has no sympathy with
me attempt to erect western cow
patches ino states merely for tempor
ary political purposes. He has alBO
within a week intimated that he would
take exceptional pleasure in attaching
his signature to a message vetoing the
bills upon which the member from the
Eleventh Pennsylvania district has
lavished so much attention.
The surprising thing in this connec
tion Is tJiat. Speaker. Reed should per
mit the house committee on territories
to reflect thus unfavorably upon his
management of the present popular
branch of congress. It is well known
that the speaker outlines In a general
way the policy of the house, and hith
erto has been signally successful In
fulfilling the expectations of the peo
ple. Why, then, he should permit the
chairman of the territories committee
to foist upon the house with affirma
tive recommendation so 'unpopular and
discreditable a, set of bills as are these
statehood measures that 'constitute
the crowning scandal of the session Is
a mystery which pussies more than one

The Cityward Tendency.
The student of social questions does
no! require to be told that there Is no
menace to the future of republican
government in America more threat
ening than the present tendency of
population to concentrate in cities, and
no philanthropic proposition more In
viting than that this tendency should
be reversed. The overcrowdins of
cities stunts physiques, dwarfs morals,
debauches conscience, deadens the
poetic sensibilities and lays Just the
kind of over-heated soil In which polit
ical villainy eagerly achieves its fun
gus growth. Thse assertions In this
day of sociological inquiry are not dis
puted; they are sad but accepted postu
lates of modern progress. That Instead
of deserting tho farm for the vice-Infested,
disease-Infected city, the
young man of toduy ought to be de
serting the city for the farm is every
where conceded; the problem Is to get
him to act upon this salutary view.
A special committee of the New York
Association for Improving: the Condi
tion of the Poor was recently assigned
to investigate this problem in Its spe
cial bearing upon the unemployed in
Gotham, nnd In its report. Just issued
In pamphlet form by William II. Tol
nian, 103 Kast Twenty-second street,
are many interesting statements of fact
and belief. Speaking with particular
reference to New York state, this re
port illustrates a natural law coinci
dent with tho United States when it
observes that from

liuii aaul twelve times, while that of tno
cities of S.OUU inhabitants ami over In
creased eijjlily-six times. In IT'.KI one-thirtieth

In the sume period. From ISHO to lsu ltlnn-lia-mton
hits increased four and one-half
limes, which is considerably more than
twice the increase of the pupululloil of the
slate. ilurliiK those years.
In Its endeavor to discover the causes
of this very evident rush from the
country to the city, the committee sub
mitted first to farmers, and then to
the country clergy, the postmasters,
school teachers, supervisors and coun
try Btore-keepers, eight questions, as
follows:
No. 1. How much has farming land de
preciated In your locality in the past twenty-five
years, and what is the cause or
causes? No. 2. Is there a tendency umonir
farmers and their families to leave their
farms and live In towns and cities? If ho,
w hat is lhi cause? No. 3. Is thero an In
crease in ti-iianl farming? No. 4. Are far
mers gradually reducing their land in
debtedness? No. What rate of interest
dn farmers pay on notes anil mortgages?
No. i. Can you furnish the ikiuics of some
farmers v)i keep uccotmis and can show
some perci-nroKe of prolit on a fair valua
tion of their farms? No. 7. Are your dis
trict schools as well attended as In years
past? No. 8. Are the principles of agri
culture taught In any form In your
schools?
The responses tothe first part of ques
tion No. 1, in reference to the deprecia
tion of land, were singularly unani
mous. Without a single exception, ev
ery person from whom the information
was sought responded in the affirma
tive. From the answers received by
him, Mr. Powell, one of the investiga
tors, calculated the average deprecia
tion at 48 per cent. Mr. Kelgaard, an
other investigator, from his memoran
da, llxed the percentage at 50 per cent.,
"and yet," says the report, "this de
preciation has taken place in the face
of the Increase of population in the
state- from 1870 to 1S90 of 1,810,389 souls.
The railroad mileage in New York has
at the same time Increased (1870-93) by
4,182 miles, and the increase on the as
sessed value of real property in the
twenty-two years ending 1892 Is calcu
lated at $1,659,643,908. While increased
population and wealth must have
greatly increased the demand for agri
cultural products, the estimated value
of farm products of the state of New
York, which according to the United
States census, was figured for the year
1869 at $253,526,153 in 1894 fell to $161,
593,009." Obviously such a striking fact
is not to be accounted for wholly upon
the score of the general fall in prices,
and in the responses to the second half
of question No. 1 the relative percent
ages of the principal causes assigned
are as follows: Low price of farm
products, 25; opening of western new
Innil 1ii; prlo nf lwlmr hlghur In prn-
portion than prices, 10; loss of fertility
in the soil, 8; scarcity of good farm
laborers, 4; unjust and unequal taxa
tion, 4; want of tariff protection in
farm products, 3; and over-production,
3,
No less Interesting are the responses
to question 2. This question, it will be
noted, is divided into two sections: Is
there a tendency among farmers and
their families to leave their farms and
live In towns and cities? is the first
half. Mr. Powell reports that 74 per
cent, of the replies received by him are
in the affirmative, while Mr. Kelgaard
has again subdivided the inquiry, and
reports that "30 per cent, of the farmers
are anxious to leave their farms and
would at once drift to the large cities
If they only knew how to get there and
had any assurance whatsoever of
work." He adds, however, that 86 per
cent, report that their children as they
grow up cannot be induced to follow an
agricultural life. As to the causes of
this tendency, 10 per cent, of the replies
assign it to unprofitable farming; 10 per
cent, to the greater school advantages
In towns; 10 per cent, to difficulty in ob
taining good help In house and on the
farm; 8 per cent, to better opportunity
for higher education In the cities; 5 per
cent, to higher wages In the city; and G
per cent, to easier living in town.
Among the minor causes assigned are
bad roads, need of agricultural educa
tion In Bchools, aversion to farm life,
and Incapacity from the drink habit.
The replies to question No. 3, from 74
per cent, of those responding, indicate
that tenant farming is steadily on the
increase. In response to question No.
4, Mr. Powell reports that 70 per cent.
of the farmers are not reducing their
land Indebtedness, while 20 per cent, are
doing so, and 10 per cent are on an ex-
tension of time given en mortgage!
overdue. Mr. Kelgaard reports that
per vent, of the New York state farm
ers are not making a living and 3 pir
cent, on the estimated value of their
farm pnerty; 40 ier cent, are run
ning behind every year. Replies to
question No. 6 show that the farmers
are not paying more than S per cent
interest for their money, and that 64
per cent, report no knowledge of ac
counts being kept, while 36 per cent,
give the names of farmers who keep ac
counts and can show some profit in
farming. To question No. 7, In refer
ence to school attendance, the responses
contain the following information:
Flfly-rix per cent, report that the
schools are not as well attended as In
years past; the other 44 per cent, re
port them as being well attended. In
no instance is there a report showing
instruction being given in the prlnel
pies of agriculture. Mr. Kelgaard
claims the schools have not kept pace
with the progress of our civilization; he
believes them to be better, perhaps,
than they ever have been, but insuf
ficient to the needs of the people. The
grade of teachers, he thinks, Js not as
high ns It should be, and that this
largely accounts for the farmers who
deMre better educational advantages
for their children moving to the city.
Hut none of the foregoing causes
satisfy the committee; on the contrary,
it believes that the main cause of the
migration from rural to urban local!
ties is to be found in the lark of trained
scientific and business Intelligence In
the vocation of the agriculturist. While
in all city occupations utmost every
year brings revolutions In machinery
and methods, the average farmer does
ns his father and grandfather did
raises the same crops from the same
soli In the same old way. The commit
tee holds the opinion that if the young-
er generation of farmers Bon were
taught to apply to their Inherited or
leased farms the same energetic, sys
tematic brain-work that they would
have to apply to a mill, a store or a
factory in the city, adapting means to
ends and studying both as carefully in
tin nnn rn.o n t In thn nlhnr tho re.
rise high enough to keep the son on
the old homestead and lead to more
progressive and therefore more inviting
rural communities. We suspect that
the committee is veiy close to the
truth.

ONLY ONE NATIONAL CANDIDATE
Wellman, In the Times-Herald
No matter what one's personal prefer
ences or prejudices may be, he must, if a
student of public affairs, admit thut there
Is now only one truly notional candidal"
in tho Republican Held. The demand for
Ills nomination Is nn unprecedented olio.
Considering il geographically, one may
sny that it starts away up on the borders;
of .Maine. Just across an Imaginary lino
from the eoiiKiessloiial district so long
represented by the speaker of the house,
where New Hampshire made McKlnley its
second choice, in Massachusetts the elec
tion of .McKlnley delegates was prevented
with ditHculty. In Connecticut McKlnley
nnd Reed divided the honors, where a
month ago no one had expected anything
but a Reed choice. In Now York nothing
hut the power of thst great state leader,
Mr. Piatt, has averted instructions for a
score instead of a pair of .McKlnley dele
gates. In New Jersey McKlnley has not
only moat of the sentiment, but a majority
of the delegates. In Pennsylvania, not
withstanding Mr. Quay's power and popu
larity, he Is unable to command the en
tire state. Maryland Is largely for Mc
Klnley, and may be practically solid for
him at St. Louis.
Consider the remainder of lihe United
States In one broad, comprehensive glance,
and note what It demands. This extraor
dinary public sentiment of which we are
spenKing runs through vne wnole or it,
south as well ns north. It is especially
strong in the great Republican common
wealths of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michi
gan. Wisconsin. Minnesota, the Dakolas.
Nebraska and Kansas, the seat of empire
In the liilted States, and, as Senator
Itrice shrewdly points out, the region
which controls the politics of the coun
try in either party. This sentiment Is -.s
strong on the Pacific coast as it is In th"
central west. It Is noticeably strong in
states like North Carolina, Tennessee,
Kentucky. West Virginia and Missouri.
where the Republicans, always fighting
valiantly, now believe tney are Bomtc to
redeem their commonwealths from Demo
cratic domination. In all the great sweep
of the country from Pittsburg west and
from tho Pennsylvania line south there
are only a few little spots which have not
responded In the selection of delegates to
this national demand. These spots are
small and scattering through the south
ern states, where everyone knowa the con
test to be to some extent one of manipula
tion. They are a little larger in Louisiana
and Texas, where local bosses ruled. There
is a solid spot in Iowa, duo wholly to loy
alty to Allison, a machine-made plaid In
Illinois, and one-half of Kentucky. That
Is all. Everything else, substantially, is
or one sort ana voice.
Of course there Is an explanation for
this remarkable manifestation. It is
found In the overwhelming popular de
mand for a return to the protective tariff
pqljcy of the Republican party a demanll
which "wants iiomnly the tiling Itself 'jin
tho symbol of it, not only the McKlnley
bin or something iiKe it, diu tun aicKtit
ley. This demand may be Irrational, and
even unreasonable. As a specific for the
evils of hard times which affect the coin
try It may result In failure. It does seem
hard that such great statesmen as Reed
and Allison should be shunted to one side,
and that divers others should be run over
ruthlessly, by this one public thought nnd
desire. Hut what is the use of quarreling
with facts?

AN I NSAPE I. KADI U.
From the Manufacturer,
One of the greatest frauds ever perpe
trated upon this nation was the removal
of the duties from wool under the pre
tense that It would confer benefit upon the
woolen manufacturers and the consumers.
Areon" textile lourniils, but one, the Wool
and Cotton Reporter, advocated this
change. That Journal at last frankly con
fessed that "many who welcomed the
present tariff would be glad to sea a duty
reimposed on wool;" arid that the recent
heavy Importations of woolens have been
large eomnoaed of 'rotten, cheap foreign
goods." Thus there has been loss all
around, except In European mills. Our
own mini are aepnveu or tnoir market;
the wool-growers have a ruined industry,
good at the lower prices. Instead of ba-
eflt from the efforts of Mr. Cleveland an.l
his friends there is wreck and disaster
coon all sides. Some notion of the harm
that has been done may be obtained fr-) U
this single statement: "The excess of the
imports of woolen tabrtcs for li&i. over
the imports for 1XM represents a quantity
oi goods which, if made in our own miils
would have consumed mor" than half of
the domestic clip, unit would have distrib
uted twenty million dollars in one Indus
try, amonir the people who work In the
woolen mills aid twenty million dollars
more among the farmers." And yet.
strange to say. with these facta before
them, demon8traUiiK the fatuity of Mr.
Cleveland as an economist, -there are.
even among textile manufacturers, men
who consider him a safe leader la the
more delicate business of tlnar.ee.
WIIAT THE PKOPLt WANT.
From the Manufacturer.
The extraordinary popularity and
strength of Mr. McKlnley are due, not at
ull to the enertry and dexterity of his
friendB or to lavish expenditure of money.
They are to be attributed solely ti the
f: et that, in a peculiar manner, the peo
ple identify him with the cause of tariff
protection for home industry: and, as they
are eager, flrst o." all, to 'have that, they
lira eaitcr to have him for their candidate.
The unanimity of the feeling within the
Jtepublic.ui party upon I hi subject is
demonstrated, also, by the harmony of tho
state platforms in their declarations tor
tho prompt restoration of protection.
Thus it Is quite certain that the St. Louis
convention will pledge the party to enact
ment of a highly protective tariff, and lis
nearly certain as t an be that the party. In
November, will win a mighty victory upon
this issue. The nation evidently believes
that protection cannot wait.

Moquette Carpets
Always beautiful, more so
this season than over before;
so:t as a mossy bank, bright
as a meadow in June. Many
of them have borders to
match. Pay you to give them
careful inspection.
The New Mattings
Some jointless, some cord
warp, soma plain, some fan
cy, and all good. They're
made of good live straw;
they're flexible and don't
scoff ont like the poorer,
dried-ont sorts. What a cool,
cleanly, comfortable floor cov
ering they make, to be sure;
and so cheap, too, as wo sell
them beginning at IOC. the
yard.
