= IT is good thing for a young man to be
+" knocked about in the world,'' though his
sOft-hearted parents may not think so. All
youths, or if not all, certainly nineteen
twentiethSof the sum total, enter life with
a surplusage of sclfconceit. The sooner
they are relieved of it the better. If in
measuring themselves, they discover that it
is unwarrantcd, and get rid-o of it gracefully,
of their own accord, well and good if not,
it is desirable, Cor their own sakes, that it
be knocked out of them. r A boy who is
sent to large school soon finds his level.
His will may have been paramount at home,
but scboolboys are democratic in their ideas,
and if arrogant, he is sure to BIO thrashed
into . recognition of the golden rule The
world is great public school, and it soon
teaches new pupil his proper place. If
he has the attributes that belong to lead
er, he will be installed in the position of a
leader; if not, whatever his own opinion of
his abilities may be, he will be compelled
to fall in with the rank and file. If not
destined to greatness, thS next best thing
to which he can aspire is responsibility ;
but no man can either he truly great or
truly respectable who is vain, pompous and
ioverbcaring. ta7ea5
BY the time the novice has found his
legitimate social status, be the same high
or low, the probability is that the disagree
able traits Of his character will be soften
ed down or worn away. Most likely the
process of abration will be rough, per-
haps very rough, but when it is all over,
and he begins to see himself as others see
him, and not as reflect in the mirror OF
selfconccit, he will he thankful that he has
run the gauntlet and arrived, though by
a rough road, at self-knowledge. Upon the
whole, whatever loving mothers may think
to the contrary, it is good thing for youths
to be knocked about in the world it makcs
men Of them. ]~aAt

Mr. Elkanah Watson, the friend of Ben
jamin Franklin, John Adams and Edmund
Burke, died in 1858, in his eighty fifth year.
In the year 1915, he made some calcula-
tions in regard to the future population of
the United States, which have SO far been
verified in an astonishing manner. In
1910 tho population of the United States
was 1926, OO3. Mr.. Watson said:
The increase from 1890, the first census
under the Constitution has been about one
third at each census admitting that it will
continue to increase in the same ratio, the
result will be as follows:

1.-THE succession of ill-fortune which has
followed us since we came to Decorah would
dishearten almost any human being on
earth. The first three months we were
here our eyes were SO bad that we were un-
able to do any work, and most Of the time
entirely unfit for editorial or mechanical
labor. Then came sickness in our family !;
then sickness and death in the family Of
the Junior; our little one yet on the brink
of the grave. Amid all these troubles, on
Thursday morning last, the fire fend, with
one devilish swoop, destroyed almost ey-
cry dollars worth of property we had on
earth. These troubles, friends, are too
much for ordinary mortals to bear with
Christian fortitude, and we shut our eyes
at the spectacle, and try to cease thinking.
Our magnificent presses, our valuable and
beautiful job type, stoves, furniture, fix
lures. and thousand useful and valuable
articles we cannot mentiOn-Our work for
ycars-destroycd almost in n twinkling.
On Saturday last the Register had been
published six months; our success in this
enterprise had surpassed our most sanSuine
expectations; We had just received our
winters supply of paper, cards, and gene
raj stock used in a printing Office, and
were fully prepared to do all kinds of
work in our line with neatness and dis
patch. Our subscription list had increas-
ed 90 rapidly and our encouragement was
so great that we had just secured extra
help, purchased large amout of new type,
and exerted all our energies to supply our
friends with everything needed in our line.
Now it il gone: we are left with few
broken fonts of type, and that so badly
scattered that it is almost useless. q Our
stock, (paper, &C., is nearly half destroy
cd, and that saved in damaged condition.
But enough we cannot think and can
not write. We are heart sick we will
say, however, that by assistance from kind
friends we. expect to have the Register
again running in two or three weeks"

General Wind, Captain Blow, Mrs. Blat


'N General Wind, Captain Blow, Mrs. Blab
and Master Smallbrains would impress the
idea that the recent elections October Sc
ries) were nearly unanimous for Massa-
chusetts and colored equalization, The
fact is, the dcmocratic-conservativo vote,
except in Iowa, is largely increased andin
this state it was Fenian foolcry alone that
did, the mischief We, remember when
Harrison carried almost all the states by
majorities ranging from 10 to..5O thousand.
Congress was nearly three to one in the
House. 81 Tyler succeeded "Old TIP. -
The next congress was, reversed and the
general principles Of the .deiaoeratic party
were adopted. This country cannot live,
politically, away from the management
and leadership Of the democratic party
Beocher, Greedy and Anna Dickinson may
institute a raid, run muck, incite revo-
luton or play any other extravaganza, but
time will tell the folly, Of it all and com.
mon sense will come hating back to the
ranks of Judgment, famed perhaps by con-
flict with Stiffness, but all the better able
to appreciate the safety which it once en-
joyed under the protecting shield Of writ
ten constitutional law as cxpounded by
Webster and Clay, and executed by q
Washington, q Jefferson and Jackson
When such folks rs Butler, Yates and
Brownlow control public morals and party
policy, you can bet with safety, that only
brief time will elapse ere the 'masheen'
will run into the ground the masses will
become disguised and a general ballot-box
vomit will ensue. Our confidence in the
ultimate and speedy triumph of SENSE is
SO great that all the rant of the ism-itcs
who surround us is looked upon only as
the unthinking badinage of persons so un-
accustomed to success rs to become insane
in the possession Of power. In the great
states of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
the majorities for RAIDS, were very light on
the popular vote, being in the first and
last states less than $4,000. A little pa
thence on the part Of those who believe in
the constitution of the country, rather than
in the crazy ideas Of modern fanaticism
will bring them even. ~ 1t
