(TH E L O N G IS L A N D F A R M E R . J A M A I C A . J A N U A H Y 4. H (,l. L o n s Island Farmer, JAM AICA. N. Y. OSH cial C h a a i e t . The new Century and the New Year bring soma official changes to Queens 0?«nty. I t Is one of the things to be Ik lor, that Phil Cronin, Luhe Con* â\ x and Charley Wissel do not oome .dally under the changes that take it One of the moat noticeabla of the ngss to the passing out of offldal life ' a m.m who has held one public place t r orei a quarter of a century, who dur- .ng that long period has held a large and a warm place in the hearts of the people, and who might have continued an official personage for the rest of his life, if the wishes of the decent people of the coun. v ty could prevail. We mean John H. Sutphin. Mr. Sutphin retires to private life quite willingly, almost joyously, for he needs rest and recreation as a tonic to the reoouping of his health. In the history of Queens County no man has held so large and so firm a place in the peopleâs affections, and no man has put aside official cares with such popular regret. Mr. Sutphin has been a man of the people, trusting and trusted, and no man who trusted him was ever disappointed. He was faithful to every duty that the people laid upon him, in small things as well as great. In nothing was he a dis appointment, His political acts were as open and as honest as his official acts, and his personality as a Democrat gathered the people to him and made the party strong, for everybody knew the party must be honest, and its motives worthy, or John H. Sutphin would n o t stand a t its head. The time alas, when men whose honesty was open to question, who had been subjects of grand jury investigation, who were venal and corrupt and avaricious, succeeded to the leadership of Democ racy, and what has been the result? Degradation and defeat. The Democracy -for which a Sutphin stood sponger does so t exist any longer, but there is a proBpect of its uplifting and restoration, if Tammany Hall but takes down the bars to honest effort. Mr. Sutphin Is not less a Democrat out of office than be was In office. He will work for the party and it is in his power to resuscitate it and strengthen it and make it powerful for good. But he will work on honest lines solely, no false pretence, no hypocrasy, no corruption, no blackmail, no extor tion, no sale of public office or of official , favors. The Democratic people are with ~ *r. Sutphin; they will stay with him ; here he leads the way they will follow. Democracy must triumph in this county by honest and honorable methods or remain dormant, if not dead. The man who succeeds Mr. Sutphin in the County Clerk's chair is JameS\ âIn gram of Long Island City. He has a good reputation and wili grow into the office and make a satisfactory official, It will please the public greatly, and . make them think well of Mr. Ingram, and earn him credit for good intentions, when it is stated that he has made Charles Downing his Deputy. Mr. Down ing is a man of whom the people have a high opinion, and yet not higher than he deserves. There will be some unreason able Republican discontent at his selec tlon, but his selection Is on the ground of business, and shows that Mr. Ingram believes that duty to the people is para mount to duty to party, and he does well to recognize, as in this appointment, the undeniable truth that to the independent, conscientious Democrats he owes his suc cess a t the polls. The office of Sheriff of the county has passed into new hands. Mr. DeBragga has had experience in the office and should make an acceptable official. Wil liam C. Baker has been a model sheriff, an honest sheriff, and a humane sheriff. In his treatment of the unfortunates who came under his official care he never lost sight of the fact that they were hu- \ man beings, and his care of them was not only of a sympathetic nature but generously good. The office has been ! conducted on correct business principles, and persons who have had business dealings with the office have had no oc casion to complain of the presence of a spirit of greed nor of a laCk of courtesy. The office has not been suspected of complicity with gamblers and vice, much less accused of it; there has been no âoutcry of conspiracy to crowd the jail for mercenary reasons; in short, the office has been absolutely free from taint of scandal. Mr. Baker has not made as much money as some of his predeces sors, but he has the solace of a clear onsclence and the knowledge that the ?ople are pleased with his adminlstra- on. !On the Legislative side of government ere are changes, too. In the Senate 'iiam W. Cocks, Bepubliean, will sit iead Charles C. Wissel. The Lord be ised for that. âą The stupid Democratic ig that brought disgrace and disaster the party, will find it impossible to iress their venalty on Mr. Cocks. Vacheron succeeds Mr. Gaie ta the mbly from the Second district. M was an all-right law maker. He red the Senatorship, but jobbery im out of it. The people beat the »1 life out of the jobbers. Mr. ton will find plenty of work await- m, for the needs of his district at me are numerous. Mr. Keenan ; da Mr. Wiaeel as Assemblyman for âą jrafc district. There is cause for g i s i l la this feet. Mr. Keenan eg. intelligent, honest end pcy- «. Whe eaweay that he will ââŠ.Senator? Then of Patronage Preveated. There is a singular combination in Flushing. An A. P. A. man owns a newspaper,lyet niakea,,lt'the organ of Paddy Mara. The organ makes Paddy appear as a great man, so that it becomes a pity that he ever left the green isle, as he might have been a great hetp to the Queen. The oddity of the combination is most striking. The organ has had several mortgages bearing down on tt, if it has not now, and Paddy Mara generously tried to lift the blankets by securing state printing for the organ. On the third of Novem ber, the tottering Democratic County Committee endorsed the organ for ap pointment as official paper by the sec tary of state. The resolution was fligcJ in the state office at Albany. The com mittee of 1900 had no right to make this designation of an official paper for the year 1901, as the new committee for the latter year came into power on Decem ber 18,1900, and legally and equitably, the printing patronage belonged to the 1901 committee. Of course the secretary of state knew the law and the local con ditions, and the resolution of Paddy Maraâs committee was received and action on it withheld until the 1901 com mittee could take such action as was proper in the premises, ^either by ac quiescing In Paddy Maraâs tricky action, or making a new designation. On Thursday, December 27th, the 1901 committee met and knocked the life out of the action of Paddy Maraâs committee of November 3rd giving the patronage to his organ. The new committee designa ted the Ft.rmer as the official paper. This action was in strict compliance with the law. The resolution was accepted by the secretary, the F a r m e r received a formal certificate of appointment, and is now the official paper. The Standard is the official Bepubliean paper. Paddy Mara and his organ, and Phil Cronin and Jim O'Brien are mad clean through, and they have a poor opinion of the Secretary of State and of the Attorney General. It was wormwood and gall to Paddy Mara to have to sit in the new county commit tee and see the F a r m e r knock out his organ and inflict heavy lose on his A. P, A. friend and admirer. But there Is worse medicine still being compounded for Paddy, Phil and Jim. Councilman Cassidy is g »ttlng there with both feet. It would seem to be necessary to re vise the opinion freely expressed a t the outset of the war in South Africa that the Orange Free State was merely the dupe of the Transvaal, that its presi dent, Mr. Steyn, was a colorless and pliant person wholly under the influ ence of Paul Kruger and that the Free Staters themselves were not so hardy or courageous or tenacious as the Boers of the Transvaal. The ally of the South African Republic has proved to be an ally of equal merit in every re spect. Its spirit is typified in the spirit of its two greatest men, De Wet and Steyn himself. On the military side De Wet has proved himself the most notable of all Afrikanders, while the fleeting glimpses the world has had of Steyn, president of a state and yet sharing all the dangers and hardships and desperate fortunes of De Wetâs roving band and on occasion leading it in person, are sufficient to describe the outlines of a devoted and great char acter. The Plainfield (N. J.) board of trade asks the common council of that city to appropriate $1,500 for the purpose of advertising the advantages of the town for those seeking homes and sites for manufacturing enterprises. Under a New Jersey state law local authorities can tax property one-half of 1 per cent for such purposes. There is no reason why advertising would not pay a town as well as it pays individuals when it is done wisely. The old and always time adage, ââJudicious advertising is the keystone of success,â would seem to apply in town expansion as well as in business prosperity. General De Wetâs heroic dash back ward through the British lines at Springhaans nek is likened to the his toric charge of the Light brigade a t Bal- aklava. And justly so, too, for rarely has there been in the annals of war a movement in which there were more of the elements of dash and bravery. . It is stated that 200 ships have been lost during the past year in searching for the north pole. This does not seem to have discouraged the pole chasers nor to have made any considerable in roads on the pole. As thanksgiving services in Great Britain have beeu postponed until after the war in South Africa is over, the turkeys in the United Kingdom must feel that they have a long lease of life. If Hesketh Prichard discovers the mammoth sloth of Patagonia, it is ex tremely probable that the animal will prove anything but slothful when the explorers start catching him. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. < Jb Central Americans All Hope to Make Fortunes Out of It. EAGER TO HAVE WATERWAY BUILT The Wall street operators have been squeezing the English investors. Well, we donât suppose there Is any provi sion in the treaty to prevent that sort of thing. It seems that pretty vigorous meas ures will have to be taken to make kid naping unpopular in this country. / A w ,-'-' The Tfsideneo o.

W. B. Cameron, C. E., of Birming ham, England, who is stopping at the Holland House, has just returned from Central America, where he has been inspecting some mining claims held by British capitalists, says the New York Sim. He: says that European investors are looking towaxâd Central America as a possible field for the employment of capital, and he predicts that the re sources of the country will be develop ed rapidly after the canal is in opera tion. An English syndicate is reported to have acquired an option upon the principal Nicaraguan railway lines, with concessions for new lines to be built if the canal bill passes. In re gard to the position of the people of Ni caragua toward the canal scheme Mr. Cameron said: ' âThe attitude of oil classes is decid edly in favor of having the canal built. The mass of the people favor It because, they expect that it will bring a vast amount of gold Into the country and will provide positions as guards aud overseers for themselves. It is gener ally expected that the Nicaraguan and Coota Rican authorities in the final no gotiations for the canal will stipulate that such places shall be filled from their own citizens. âThere is one point which does not seem to be appreciated by most of the Americans with whom I have talked in the course of the trip overland from San Francisco. They assume that the Central American republics will give the United States carte blanche to build and manage the canal according to her own plans and without recom pense In fact, from all I have heard and read In your American newspa pers it seems to be the general impres sion that all arrangements with Nica ragua and Costa Rica providing for the construction of the canal had been completed. As I understand the mat ter, however, the final negotiations have not yet been entered upon. When they are undei*taken, I think that it will appear that the sentiment of the Nicaraguans in regard to the terms of constructing the canal is somewhat different from what it is believed to be by the people of your city. \For several months I made my head quarters in Managua, and in the course of my business I became acquainted with several prominent citizens and government officials. At that time it was reported that the United States would insist upoi. the right to fortify the canal and to secure exclusive privi leges for United States vessels. To this they were all greatly opposed and de clared that Nicaragua could not con sent to the building of the canal unless it was to be open on equal terms to the shipping of the world. Some fear was expressed as to the ultimate intentions of the United States on account of the expansionist tendencies which she now displays, and it was generally main tained that the conditions for the man agement of.the canai ought to be very clearly defined so that this country should not be able to extend her con trol over the canal to the point of terri torial control which might result later on in the absorption of Nicaragua into the possession of the United States. âSo far as I could learn it is the in tention of the governments of Nicara gua and Costa Rica to demand an im portant share in the control of the ca nal under a tripartite agreement. I was informed by an official of tbe Nica raguan government that the people o f Nicaragua had been told that the senti ment of the United States was in favor of a canal through Nicaragua and that it would be built along that route. Con sequently they regarded it as a valua ble concession and would demand in re turn for it,either a share in the control of the canal or a large money indem nity. âIf the government should undertake to dispose of the concession without such conditions, according to this offi cial, it would result in a revolution. The question of constitutional author ity would not be a b ar to such action in his opinion, because the constitution could be amended by the action of the Nicaraguan congress, in which the gov ernment party has a substantial major ity, but the very fact of taking such action, as he explained, would be tak en advantage of by the opposition to stir up a revolution, as the party of the outs stood ready to use any pretense to seize the government before the actual beginning of canal work in the expectation that during its construc tion those in authority would have op portuuities to enrich themselves. âAs to the interest In the canal on the part of the people of Nicaragua, it could not be greater than it is. It is the one great topic of discussion. There are all kinds of talk of concessions, priv ileges and so forth, and all kinds of more or less intangible enterprises are being set afloat. As an example of the prevailing attitude I was informed that certain officials of Costa Rica had botxght up the lands on their side of the river which will be flooded by the con struction of the great dam across the San Juan aud will demand a laiâge in demnity for the flooding of their prop erty.â Automobiles have conquered the Alps.

D a a t e l i â B r i l l i a n t P r e d i c  tio n s F o r t h e N e w C e n t u r y . When one considers that just 100 years ago it took the president of the United States several days to make the journey from Philadelphia to Wash ington by stagecoach, where now the journey Is accomplished In about as many minutes as it then took hours, one stands aghast a t the progress that has been made during the nineteenth century and must perforce remain dumb before any prophecy, not in fear of overstatement, but rather the oppo site, says George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Cen tral and Hudson River railroad, in the New York Herald. IV ?s it not, then, seem reasonable tlwt, no matter in what stretch of im agination we may indulge ourselves in the matter of prophecy, we cannot overstate, for the reason that, with an industry less txxan a hundred years old which has achieved such wonders, there is no limit to the possibilities that shall be evolved in the coming hundred years? This.is the age of transportation. It underlies all material prosperity. Those states and nations are the most rich and powerful whose transportation fa cilities are the best and most extended. The dying nations are those with little or no transportation facilities. With pooling declared unconstitution al, concentration of ownership was in evitable, and this movement is likely to increase to the betterment of the system, the cheapening of tariff and the insurance of higher speed and safer means of transit. I do not mean that there Is any possibility of the rail roads of this country coming under government control, for I am of the opinion that the sound common sense of the nation would repulse any move ment to that end. Under corporate control there Is a more perfect system than could be possible under govern ment auspices. NEW WAY TO TRAVEL. T w o M e n *»u a n O v e r l a n d J o u r n e y In a T o u r i s t s â W a g o n . There passed through Chattanooga a few days ago a unique overland tour istsâ wagon drawn by two strong horses, a hunting dog running beneath it and two men on the front seat. The men are Herman Dalwigk and Charles F. Hirscli of Hoboken, N. J., who start ed from New York to go to Mexico by carriage about three months ago. Mr. Hirscli said: âAt home we are commercial trav elers and have been old* friends for years. Some people go to Europe, but we wanted to travel through the Unit ed States, and- this is our way of do ing it. We travel when we please and rest when we wish to. In rainy weath er we donât travel at all, but lie up wherever the rain happens to strike us. We have two guns, and our dog is a good one, so we kill all the meat we want. âWe do all our own cooking and car ry a large supply of provisions. We are bound fo* a tour of Mexico and Texas, and we have been three months out from New York and expect it will be three months before we start home. When we are traveling, we go leisure ly and average not over 20 miles a day. âNo; we do not sell anything, and we are not out for profit except to our health. We donât want to start when the whistle blows, and thereâs nothing of the drudge life in this existence. We live as high as we please, e at and sleep when we want to, hunt and fish as the spirit leads us and sometimes go to church if we happen to strike a town on Sunday.â Across tlxe front of the wagon in plain letters is this motto: âAs we jour ney through life let us live by the way.â Beneath this inscription are the two shotguns in convenient cases, pro tected from rough weather, and yet handy for emergencies in case it is de sired to ward off highwaymen or kill deer.

Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the millionaire assistant rector of St. Paul's church In New Haven and the secretary of the Yale faculty, has in vented a table game of golf, says the New York World. Just what the prin ciples of the game are is nnknown, but the young clergyman has applied for a patent on it. The Rev. Mr. Stokes is a golf enthu siast and plays daily a t the New Haven Country club. A private exhibition of the table game was held recently. It is said to resemble tiddledewinks in some way. âą The Rev. Mr* Stokes will engage In the manufacture of the im plements for the game. N e w K i n d o f H o r a e . At a recent meeting of the London Zoological society a communication was received in which the probable dis covery of a new species of horse In the great Kongo forest was announced. The description of the animal was furnish ed by Sir Harry Johnson, who said that his attention had been directed to the existence of a horselike animal in this region from the fact that Stanley hgd mentioned that the Dwarfs had a name for the horse. He- had obtained por tions of lht> skin, which are to be for warded to England for critical exami nation, says the New York Post It Is clear that the skin does not belong to any known zebra or wild ass. The belly and leg stripes are irregular, with a chestnut border, and they look very much as if other parts of the skin were either a uniform dun or dark gray. In .the discussion which followed the pres entation of th;^ letter It was suggested that the animal in question was an un- dope which was thought region. deaeri to exist la All drt.g stores Chang Cough Bata. **II Conklinâ* Wllu ofUpeople witne S i Cant*. the new trolley «yst«n. andFlushing avenue.
