AGRICULTURE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

ee oe ae : ° . } I Royal Commission on Agriculture

has issued a report suggesting various paliie.ives for the existing depression in | Briu-h agriculture, which the commission

attributes mainly to the general and per-

sistent fall of prices, and to foreign com- petition which is not likely to abate. The commissioners are very much divided in

opiuion with reference to a remedy for

of the Local Government Beard, and for

@ Supplementary belief that measures tending to increase assist agriculture, but no recommendation on this sul ject is signed by the commission as a whole.

The supplementary report expresses the Opinion that depression prevails alike in protective and free trade countries, and is especially severein the United States; that heavy protective duties, when im- posed in Germany and France, failed to give el.her country security against de- pression, and suggests that the reason for universal depression may be found in the great monetary changes made in Eurone acd in the United Staies in 1873 and 1874. Since ihe only countries which appear to be free from such depressions are India and Argentina, the framers of the supplemen-

the value of silver would greatly

tary -eport contend that a prima facie case is *tiblished for the assertion thet the m

dept 4-ion is the outcome of the apprecia~ tion of gold and of the divergence in the value of metals which gives an artificial advavtage to producers in silver using countries. White suggesting the aban- donment of the gold standard, the signers of the supplementary report propose an international conference to arrange for the pont g of mines abroad and in India, and

the y--ivration of silver, either wholly or partially, to the position it occupied prior to 1873. In conclusion the suppléméntary report invites the Government to give effect to the resolution adopted by Parlia- ment in February, 1895, in favor of sucb a conference. I = eR + I

UTILIZATION OF GOOD MEN.

Iv bas been pointed out by one or twe writers. but not sufficiently emphasized, says Le-lies’ Weekly, that the one great reason tor Great Britain’s unparalleled development lies in the fact that her policy the best ability she could command. Her ministers, diplomatists, her agents, and all her re- presentatives on whose personal qualifica- tions depend success and eXpansion, are the confidential

selected as carefully as emploves of the most exacting and the whole machinery of government is manned and operated by the very best material that the nation can furnish. There is not anywhere—nor does history contain a paraleli—such a body of men in whom where is less corruption. The men who do the work of John Bull do it honest He is an employer who

According to Mr. Tarte’s latest publish- ed declaration, besides officiating at the purchase of La Patrie for the Liberal party, Mr. J. N. Greenshielde, “during the darkest days of the Liberal party, was a shareholder in the Herald to the amount of nearly $20,000. The Montreal Herald remarks that the president of the Drummond County Railway Company, indeed, appears to have been a regular fairy godmother to Liberal Journals and journalists in Montreal. It seems almost a pity that a cruelly selfish public should look with suspicion on the scheme of such a benevolent being, and should venture to question if the advocacy by newspapers he has so befriended of pro- jects in which he ‘8 financially concerned is altogether disinterested.

Disagreeable Features,

Nobody starves to death in our village, bus some of our mountain folk who live far away on byroads, in places which are often inaccessible in winter, are very poor, ill nourished and ill clothed. However, the prevailing tone in Asher Dill’s store and in the village generally is a humorons one, a tone of irony and of good natured sarcasm. Almest everybody cultivates a fine sense of humor—in fact, to be humor-

ous, and especially to be good at repartee, hs éhe one intellectual ambition of the com. | munity. Wedo not care much for learn. { ing of any sort. Our letters, which we | put off writing till about six months after | they are due, do not excel in grammar or penmanship. And it ds really astonishing,

what geesonin the outside world. We read the papers with only a languid inter- est, being more concerned about the trivial evcnis in the next town, duly chronicled in the county paper, than we are about what is said or done in Washington. in Londen orin Paris. But the sense of hu- mor is developed among us in childhood | and is never lost, even in moments of diffi- | culty or of danger.

Last Fourth of July a desperate charac- fer who lives on 2 mountain goad in the sof the tewn drove inte the vil- lage ina little rickety cart, waving over his head a woman's broken and battered | sunshade, which he had picked up some- Where. He was very drunk, and before | long the cart was upset. His horse, a half | broken colt, kicked and plunged and tried to runaway. The fellow pluckily clung to the reins and was dragged about on the ground hither and thither, being finally extricated from the ruins of his cart. But through it all he kept the sunshade in his | hand. ‘‘I don’t care anything about my- self,’’ he said, as he was arsisted to his feet, the blood streaming from his face, hor about the hoss, nor about the cart, but I wuz determined to save this beauitful paraso!},’’

To discuss why this humorous spiri should be the prevailing spirit in an An- glo-Saxon community of Puritan descent would be a difficult though pleasant task, but I must content myself here with the obvious remark that it could not exist ex- cept in connection with an ample back- ground of leisure. Our village—perhaps this cardinal fact ought to have been stated at the outset—enjoys a blessed immunity from railroads. The nearest station is ten miles off, and the mails come by stage, which arrives anywhere between 7 a. m. and midnight—cxcept on some nights in Winter, Wh-q if ders not arrive at all, be- ing prevented by snow storms. Our man- ners, though a little brusque, are good, as manners always are in a community which has no ‘‘social superiors.’ Every man ‘fi the village who is not specially marked out by vice or poverty feels himself to be tne “ual, tn all essential matters, of every other man s2°tbe world, and this feeling 008 & long Way toward producing that equality which {asswmes. There is ab- sclutely no stealing S0Ng Ue; it would be pertectty aefe ts teat? all yeur valuables on the front piazza at night, and perna,s this immunity is one result of equality. To steal isa confession of inferiority, in- tolerable among equals. (Cheating in a horse trade stands, of course, on a different footing, and may be practiced without en- tire loss of self respect.) Mr. Howells has expressed this truth. ‘‘I believe,’’ he says, “that if ever we have equality in this world, which so many good men have ‘hoped for, theft will be unknown.”

The absolute equality which prevails

raakes vulgarity and snokbishness impos- fible. We are coarse, but never yulgar. Vulgarity implies a consciousness or semi- consciousness of inferiority, and among us, as I have said, there is no such con- | sciousness. On the contrary, there is a want of reverence in the village, There is no person or g¥oUp of persons to seta standard of manners or of morals for the rest of the community. Nobody looks up to anybody else—not even to the minister. Age itself scarcely invites respect, and this want of reverehce givesa certain hard and flippant tone to our lives. The physi- clam-stands as high as anybody in town, and yet it was only the other day that I heard him addressed by a little, dirty faced hoy, not 12 years old, as ‘‘doc.’’ ‘‘Say, doc, when does the next school term be- gin?’’ was the inquiry made by this urchin in all sincerity, and the ‘‘doc’’ gave ‘him a civil answer, taking no offense at his want of respect.—Atlantic Monthly.

Stories of Erahms.

Anecdotes about Brahms show the @e- parted composer to have been a somewhat npdamiable companion. His wit was bril- liant, but cruel, and its direct object could rurely join inthe amusement it created. One story begins with the statement that asa performer Brahms had an extremely

was accompanying him on the ccilo to‘ex- claim, ‘‘I don’t hear myself.’’ ‘‘Ah,’’ re- plied Brahms, ‘‘you are a lucky fellow.”’ When he left the room after a lively even- ing among friends, he used to remark, ‘‘If there is any one present whose feelings I have not hurt, I trust he will receive niy humble apology.’’

Brabms never could bring himself to produce an opera. ‘‘If 1 composed one which failed, I should certainly have a second try,’’ he said to pressing friends, “but ITcannot make up my mind to the first. To me the undertaking seents much the same as marriage.’’ ‘Fhe latter insti- tution found no favor in bis eyes, and he lived an isolated existence, recognizing ne kiusfolk.—New York Times.
