The New Canal Treaty.
American control of the pro
posed isthmian interoceanic ca
nal is now absolutely assured.
When the canal is built it
will be constructed by Ameri
can engineers and "'American
money and defended by Ameri
can guns. No other nation
on the face of the earth is to
have anything to do with it,
even in the way of suggestion.
The United States is to have a
free hand, uncontrolled and un
hampered.
Snch, in brief, is the purport
of the new treaty which has
been agreed upon between the
United States and Great Britain
and which will be sent to the
Senate by President Roosevelt
immediately after ?£he conven
ing of Congress. All the prin
ciples for which the Senate con
tended when the first Hay-
Paunceforte canal treaty was
before that body, - and which
were incorporated in* important
amendments, have been conced
ed by Great Britain,, and that,
to, without the slighest consid
eration in return... This, per
haps, is the most remarkable
fact connected with the negoti
ation of the new treaty. All
suggestions—and they have
been numerous that Great
Britain has imposed, a cjuid pro
quo have no foundation in fact.
Not only is there no such con
sideration named in the treaty,
but there has not been and will
not be any private understand
ing or promises to be, redeemed
in "the future. —Washington
Post.

it would probably-*'succeed, in

impossible to cbi)ceive of a
worse title for a sovereign state

Does the farm Pay?
The question has come up in
the mind of doubtless every
young man about to take up
his work in life; and it is one
of those questions answered
both affirmatively and negative
ly- *;
i The farm does not pay if
wrongly managed. It does pay
if properly managed."- Perhaps
both propositions are correct as
a rule. Yet we know 'bf many
farms that do pay, and still they
are not properly managed. On
the other hand we know of not
a single farm, properly man
aged, that does not pay. There
should be but a single proposi
tion, this: Does a farm proper
ly managed pay? We answer
without the slightest hesitation :
It not only pays but it pavs well
Where energy, enthusiasm and
knowledge are combined with
good farm management and ex
ecutive ability, there 'you will
find a paying farm and a suc
cessful farmer. If you know
how to properly prepare fertili
zer and treat the soil, and how
to grow them, there is. no ques
tion —you will grow a .paying,
remunerative crop. The same
is. true with all classes of live
stock, horticultural products,
dairy products; in fact any
agricultural specialty: managed
with skill and thoroughness,
will bring its reward. .

Shown by Statistics For thi
Present Year.
The following crop repor
was? issued this afternoon hj
the department of agriculture.
The preliminary estimate o
fho average yield per acre ol
oorn, as published in the monih
ly report of the statistician oi
tire department of agriculture is
16.4 bushels, as compared will
•it average yield of 20 4 pei
acre in 1900 and 1899, and f
Jen year average of *24 bushels
The present indicated yield pei
acre is the lowest gen oral aver
age ever recorded for this crop,
being 2.2 bushels per acre below
the yield in 1881, which has
stood for twenty yeare as the
lowest on record. Of the twen
ty-three States having one mil
lion acres or upward in corn,
all but Pennsylvania, Virginia
and Michigan report an average
acre below their respective
ten-year averages. The prelim
inary estimate of the average
yield per aero of buckwheat is
19 bushels, against an average
yield per acre of 15 bushels in
1900, 16.6 bushels in 1899 and
a ten-year average of 16.9 bush
els.
The preliminary estimate of
the yield per acre of potatoes i«
59.9 bushels against an average
yield per acre of 80.8 bushels in
1900; 88.6 bushels in 1899, and
a ten-year average of 78.7 bush
els. The present indicated
yield per acre is the lowest since
1890.
The preliminary estimate of
the average yield per acre of
hay is 1.32 tons, against an av
erage yield of 1.28 in 1900; 1.
35 tens in 1899. and a ten-year
average of 1.28 tons.
On the fifteen principal tobac
co States, nine, including Ken
tucky, Virginia, North Corolina
and Tennessee, report an aver
age yield per acre of tobacco in
excess of their ten-year avera
ges while six, including Ohio,
Wisconsin and Missouri fall be
low such averages.
The apple crop is considera
bly below the ten-year average,
the pear and grape crops are
slightly below and the sweet
potato crop slightly above. —

TICKET SCALPERS.
The ticket scalpers who are
out on bail in Chicago after
conviction and pending a deci
on an application for a new
trial con eluded not to wait for
the result of the hearing, but
"jumped" their bail, leaving
their bondsmen in the lurch,
one of them, it is said, eloping
with his step-daughter. The
charge .°o often made by the
scalpers that the movement of
the railroads against them
amounted simply to the perse
cution of honest men, does not
seem to be out by the
results in the
honest acts of the fraternitv in
connection with the Buffalo
Exposition could be collated, it
would make a chapter, or rath
er a book, that would startle
thfi community. Hundreds of
tickets purchased from dishon
est brokers have been t»ken up
by the railroads on the trains
out of Buffalo and their holders
oblighed.to pay their fare or
get off the train. This in all
cases has been a serious annoy
ance, and in very many cases
an absolute hardship. In
of the universal condemnation
of the business by those who
have investigated it, it would
seem as if the papers through
out the country could perform
no better service for the public
than to warn them against the
purchase of tickets from the
brokers. Particularly is this
necessary in the rural district®
and in local papers. Peopl®
living in. large cities hare no
excuse for ignorance on rtoi.s
subject. The great dailies have
time and again published ac
counts of the frauds perpetrat
ed, and the danger of dealing
with scalpers is generally un
derstood at such points. It i«
rare, however, that the conntry
papers give place to item* of
this character, and it would be
an act of positive value to tJi-ir'
readers if the rural press would
sot forth the danger which at
tends any transaction with the
ticket scalpers.—Railway and
