An old farmhouse with meadows wide.
And sweet with clover on each side.
A bright eyed boy. who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about
And wishes his one thought all day
oh ! if ! could but fly away
From this duh spot, the world to see,
How happy, happy, happy.
How happy ! should bet
Amid the citys constant din,
5 man, who round the world ha- been
Who mid the tumult and the thrOng,
Is thinking thinking all day long
s Ohl could | only tread once more
The tield-path to the farmhouse door
The Old, green meadow could see
How happy happy happy
How happy should be

A Htr. to the Executive Committee.

.-We print an article to-day from the Winns-
h0ro' NepS, urging the Executive Committee
of the Union Reform party, after due delibe-
ration, to suggest State Educational policy,
and Federal policy, to which candidates
may pledge themselves before the people.
The suggestions OF our acute contempo-
rary will doubtless be considered by the
Executive Committee, and we do not hesi-
tate to say that we are heartily in favor OF
adopting q broad and liberal Educational
policy, as part of thew working platform OF
the party. The declaration of Fedora!
policy is, however, c more complicated
question, and we do not see, at present, how
any active policy upon Federal issues can be
tackled on to the Reform movement without
abandoning the key of the position, which is
that the Reform party has no wider scope,
in the immediate present, than the regene-
ration and reformation of the government OF
the State.
.Al these matters will, we doubt not, be
pondered and discussed by the Executive
Committee of the Union Reform party, and
we confidently rely upon their adoption OF
that plan which will put the Reform party,
its purpose and its policy, in the most rea-
sonable and attractive way before the people
of the State.

but that the House will promptly follow this

The latest accounts from Yokohama dis
close that the recent earthquakes and subma-
rine commissions have been the most se7ere
and frequent since ancient times. The shocks
which have recently been felt number between
12O and 14O. On the days when these Wero
most frequent and severe, the whole earth ap-
peared to be in constant tremor. In the
eleven years during which record of this
phenomenon has been observed, the average
has been four shocks, of greater or less mag
nitude, per month, except during the last
eighteen months, when the average has been
reduced to one in six weeks On the lst OF
May, the shocks suddenly became more trc-
quent, and increased daily in number, until
the night of the 18th, when there came the most
severe shock which has visited the empire for
several years. It was ushered in by sudden
violent quivering of the earth, or. more prop
erly, series of jerks. These lasted several
seconds, and terminated in heavy surging or
wavy motion, which seemed to be forcing the
creaking walls of the houses down upon their
occupants. All sprang from their beds and
made as rapid progress as the darkness and
their bewilderment would permit into the
streets. Some did not dare to return into
their dwellings, but remained in the public
thoroughfares during the entire night. The
natives of Japan, in their explanation of earth
quakes, attribute them to the movements of a
turtle, on the back of which they say their is
lands rest. There are many rumors aaoat as
to the absorption of whole villages and great
loss of life, but none have been confirmed.

iect OF paramount importance, In proper
ton as we reduce cost do we enlarge for the
continent the area upon which it's produce
can be GENT to market. Whatever can be
saved in transportation is clear profit, to be
divided between the producer and consumer.
No one subject among US, consequently, re-
ceives so much attention, and in no one has
equal success been achieved.
Cheap steel secured to us by the Bessemer
and other processes enables our people to
effect immense reductions in cost in other
departments of industry as well as in trans
portation. The reapers and the mowers
have almost wholly superseded the scythe
and the sickle. The greater part of imple-
ments of agriculture is now made OF steel.
Steels ploughs are rapidly taking the place
of iron ones, from their greater durability
and lightness. Steel is, in fact, soon every
where to take the place of iron, on the
ground of cheapness as well as durability
and superior adaptation to the purposes to
which fcan he applied.
Cheap steel is thus necessary to the farmer
and to the skilled mechanic, but the Repub-
lican Congress, out of its love for the peo-
pie, makes that dear which every interest
in the country requires to be cheap. AS the
salt monopolists Of Syracuse, having secured
from the Legislature the control and monop-
oily of the brine, then induced Congress to
lay an almost prohibitive duty on foreign
salt, and, having thus secured a double
monopoly, reduced the production of salt,
in order to force the people to pay an extor-
tionate price-in like manner are few
wealthy capitalists trying to make steel
dear.
The patents for making steel by the Bes-
semer process are owned by D. j. Morrell, a
Congressman, John A. Griswold, John F.
Winslow, and few others. They are ALL
we believe, devodt Republicans. Without
their leave not pound of Bessemer steel
can be made in the United States. Not sat-
isfed with this-while the Senate prohibits
the Southern Pacific Railroad from using any
but American-made iron-they induce the
House of Representatives to tack on to the
new tax bill proviso that Bessemer steel
made in other countries shall pay duty OF
one and half cents per pound on importa-
ton. This is sufficient almost entirely to
exclude from this country all steel OF this
kind not made by the owners here OF the
patent. 1t will lessen the use Of this neces-
sary Article, and increase its price enormous
ly to the American people.
This is the work Of the Republican party
They have an overwhelming majority in Con-
gress, and abandoning the people, adopt q
partial law which creates and fosters huge
monopoly. The people must bear it in mind
thai dear living dear clothing, high taxes,
and costly travelling, are due, in the main,
to the monopolies and to the class legisla-
ton encouraged and carried out by this Ma
tional Republican party.
