A Lively Summer.

We shall probably have a lively Sum-
mer.

Stocks are bounding upward, busi—
ness is booming, every form of sport
and recreation is well in hand. The
baseball season has begun with more
than usual interest and enthusiasm.
The yachts are putting on their gayest
clef-hes, and there will be more of them,
big and little, in commission this year
than ever before.

Abandoned Farms.

The abandoned farm of New England
was one of the first signs of a nationa
tendency toward concentration in the
large cities of the republic. Today
the statist1cians and the statesmen of
the middle west, as well as of the north-
east, are worrying their brains over
the. problem of how to keep the people
on the farms. The great cities are
swallowing up the rural population and
Many

 

the country is no better for it.
thousands of the new citizens come
from other continents, but it is a long

demonstrated fact that the cities are-

gradually absorbing’much of the rural
population. The natural increase of
the race and the tide of immigration
cannot account for all the swelling of
the ranks of urban dwellers. This
means that a gradual change of the
greatest significance is taking place
throughout the country. Mr. Henry
J. Fletcher in the April Forum touches
upon this question in a paper on “The
Doom of the Small Town,” in which
he shows conclusively that there has
been and still is a considerable shrink-
age in the villages of the north central
states. He mentions Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Michigan in particu-
lar an .d gives statistics to show that in
those states there is a tendency for the
townshipsto dwindie in size. In the
five states named there were, according
to the census of 1890, (3,291 townships.
Less than one—half of these, 3,003, gain—
ed in population in the ten years .pre-
ceding,-while 3,144. lost population, and
141 remained stationary, Mr. Fletcher
thinks that discriminating rates in‘ rail-

road freiglits are largely the cause of .

this shrinkage and he goes on to show
that as far as the agricultural popula-
tion is concerned they cannot compete
with the farmers of the west, who are
able to do business on a much greater
scale and can command rates of trans—
portation quite out of proportion to the
distances to be covered.

Another element at the bottom of
this concentration is the tendency Of
small manufacturers to join hands with
one another and to get near the centers
of trade, to avail themselves of urban
rates for materials and in many cases
to purchase New and cheaper forms Of
motive power that are not to be found
in smaller cities and villages. The fol-
lowing description by Mr. Fletcher Of
the emigration from the villages will
probably be recognized as trucby those
who have lived in late years in the

smaller towns of the north and east:
“One by one, family by family, their
inhabitints slip away in search of other
homes ; a steady but hardly peréeptible
emigration takes away the young, the
hopeful, the ambitious. There remain
behind the superannuated, the feeble,
the dull,,the stagnant rich who willrisk
nothing, the n’cr-tO-do-wells who have
nothing to risk. Enough workers re—
main 1.. 1111 the soil, to manage the dis-
tribution of food and clothing, and to
transact the common businesrgof life;
but the world’s work is done elsewhere.”

It is not 11 pleasant prospect to face.

One of the chief delights of the
America of the past has been the quiet,
prosperous Villages that have dotted
the country between the great centers,
conservative and com fort-able, peaceful
and pleasant to dwell in, training
schools it may. be for the greater marts
of the world, but gOod 150110018 for most
of the young and a sufficient arena for
a large proportion of their elders. The
village life is more apt to be wholesome
111911 the city 11111113111 it could not

l, .1,

’ 'well‘ last under the remiss-1111100111114

ticns of the latter-day civilization. As
Mr. Fletcher says in his interesting
paper, the youth of villages no longer
have facilities for learning trades.
They must go to town to obtain means
of earning a‘livelihood. There they
find industrial schools and there they
finda market, too, for their talents,
which a villageican never afford. The
end of all this is not easy to see. It is
hardly possible for the country to de-
velop forever on these lines. There
must be some med1al state between ur-
ban and rural life. rl'here must be
some limit to the size to which cities
can grow and to the isolation of the-

.country bevond them. When is the

tide to turn?

Nevertheless, it is true, under pres-
ent conditions, that the larger the city
is, the greater is the number of people
and industries that it is sure to attract,
and this is a potent argument in favor
of “the greater Norwalk.”

Contemptible Thieves.

One of the meanest creatures in ex-
istence is the flower thief, one who will
sly into the dooryard and steal the orna-
ments from his neighbor’slawn. Many
of our citizens have an eye to the bean-
tiful and adorn their lawns with flowers
and shrubs in early spring. , There are
others, we are sorry to say, who prefer
to pilfer the beautiful, rather than pay
for it, or go to a little trouble to pro-
vide these things. It is a matter of
some little expense and care, to provide
these forerunners of the gladsome sum-
mer time to come, and it is a shame
that those who endeavor to add to the
beauty and joy of; the landscape should
have enemies in the person of the
fiOwer th1ef. Complaints are made
that these despicable persons have al-
ready commenced their depredations in
some sections cf the city, and suspicion
points to certain parties,who if caught,
will be treated to a warm reception, be-
sides being dealt with to the fullest ex-
tent of the law.

Thrown From Hls BICycle.

As “Lou” Fauntleroy was riding on.

his 2l-lb Columbia, yesterday after-
noon, when at Greenfield Hill, his
bicycle collided with his fellow-riders
and he was violently thrown int) a pile
of rocks by the roadside.
Of the front wheel of his bicycle was
ruptured entirely around, and the
spokes bulged outward causing the
wheel to collapse. He straightened
the spokes, bound the felloe-with tire
tape and pluckily continued his trip to
Bridgeport.
When, oh When?

Last Wednesday a genteel appearing
young man visited the Norwalk Hotel,
and in chirography that was neat and
plain, registered as Don M. Doyle.
The following day he was engaged in
getting together aquantity of bottles
which he filled with a liquid which he
claimed would take all foreign matter
from a shirt or a man’s conscience. He
had a glib tongue and it is believed suc-
ceeded in placing a quantity of the
liquid in households in different parts
of the town. At least he reported large
sales in the hearing of the hotel at-
taches and others. It is certain though
that he suddenly left town and an un-
settled board bill. When, oh when, will
the tribe of fakirs, get what they so
richly deserve? Time in some jail.

Wanted to Die.

Some weeks since Grant Clayton,
colored, of New Canaan, loaned a sum
of money to a well-known resident of
that place.' He was requested by the
borrower to say nothlng about the loan,
and the request he faithfully kept. In
some way, however, the transaction be-
came known, and was a source of con-
siderable annoyance to the borrower.
Clayton also heard of it and it so
preyed upon his mind that he concluded
that life had no fu‘rther-attraction-fof
him, and‘he resolved to commit suicide.-
To this end he visited two drug-stores
and tried to purchase laudanum, but‘
without success
trouble to a policeman th advised him
that it was the borrower not he that
had cause if any one to die. At this
writing Grant is alive and willing to be
forgiven for his fOolish mistake. 'Thbre
are those in this city who have bor-
rowed money that would perhaps _‘be

 

willing to see their creditors die.

Russia “’11! Preteet Her Interests.

ST. PETERSBURG, Apr 11 22. —-The strong
protests of. the Russian press against the
Japanese annexing the Liuo-Tung penin-
sula. are fully indorsed-by the Russian gov-
ernment. Much irritation is expressed at
the reported change of Great Britain in
favor of Japan as being calculated to par-
alyze for a. time a common agreement be-
tween the powors, which is essential to the
exercise of pressure upon Japan.-

It is semioflioially stated that there is
no truth in the story which was put in cir-
culation from Washington that Russia is
fully aware of and gives secret but hearty
approval of the conditions of peace exacted
from China by Japan. It is further stated
that the story was probably circulated in
order to mislead China.

Russia. according to the semioffiolal ut-
terance. does not approve bl‘fifi treaty of Shl-_
monoseki, and acting in agreement with
the powers will protect her interests even
if England holds aloof. .
