An old resident of Scott County

fruit. After stating that he has trees
80 feet high and ten inchcs In diam

opinion as follows: "The American
chestnut can be grown in Iowa, and
as readily as the soft maple or black

1t is well remarked by a Vienna
paper, that the French act as If they
were conquerors and not the con-
qucred. They wholly ignore the
facts that they are whipped, that
their army is destroyed, that their
strongholds are in the hands OF the
enemy, that their countryis overrun,
and that their chief city is at the
mercy Of the Germans. Such obsti-
nate faulty was never before wit
messed In any people. 1t appears
that that they must be still further
pun,sned Derorc they can be made to
see what all the world saw two

prolong a wholly useless and fruitless

Journalists and once.

Col. Forney, editor of the Phila-

gent request Of some Of his friends 10

an able and manly letter, from
which we extract the following
paragraph:
'If your own proud independence
as journalists did not admonish me
that newspaper men In America are
most powerful out Of Office, the fact
that our av0cation has none of the
esprit du corps Of other professions
would be conclusive. Take the ed
itors Of the United States rs class,
and Is 1t not true that they are sig.
naliy fitted for representative, ad.
ministrative and executive duties?
Their very business conpels them to
understand government and men.
They have to study. the wants, the
habits, the principles, the resources
and the destinies Of people. They
know politics as the ''sea knows the
sea-" There is hardly a county
town In America, North or South,
In which the jealous editor is not
worth to the community a dozen

consider them. And set how rarely
Is he thought OF. Now and then he
Is propitiated by q little county Office,

The wages O Labor.

In the discussion Of labor and the
wages il obtains i'm modern times, IT
seems to US that money, which Is
only representative in character, or
simply q medium OF exchange, Is too
much regarded, and that which It
obtains Is too often made secondary
or not considered at
all. The true way to regard money
is simply as a medium for the trans
fer of the necessaries and luxuries Of
life; and the amount Of the latter
which can he obtained for days
work is the proper wages Of days
work.
We often hear complaints Of the
high prices Of various commodities.
The purchasing power Of dollar
has greatly diminished, yet upon
close scrutiny we shall find that la
borers Of today can live better with
a given amount of labor than they
could have done fifty years ago.
Their wages have therefore adj
vaDeed, not because the laborer can
get today 900 for work which fifty
years ago would nave brought him
only seventy-fve cents, but because
the two dollars will purchase more
today than seyenty-fye cents would
have done fifty years ago. 1t is not
the number of dollars, but what the
dollars will get that must be con-
sidered.
Twenty years ago O ton OF coal
would not have cost in this market,
on the average, over five dollars a.
the outside; today 1t perhaps costs
eight. Twenty years ago a common
Iaborer would have got at the out
side no more than one dollar per day
for his work; he would therefore
have had to work five days for tuD
OF coal. Today he gets two dollars Il
day, and can get tun Of coal for
four days work.
Fifty years ago a man could travel
in stage coaches, &C., say, twenty
five days, at an expense OF, say,
fifty dollars i'm money, and, say,
eighteen dollars in time to a common
laborer-in all, sixty-eight dollars.
Today he can travel the same dis
lance by rail and steamer, in many
parts of the country for thirty.six
dollars, allowing four dollars day
for his meals and refreshments, and
Two dollars each night for sleeping
accommodations and two dollars a
day AZ the value Of his time; and he
can do this with infinitely more
comfort and luxury than he could
perform the same distance fifty years
ago. Fifty years ago he would have
needed to work ninety odd days t.
defray the expense Of n thousand
miles Of travel by coach; today he
can travel one thousand miles by
working eighteen days.
IL Is true that two dollars Is
maximum for the wages Of common
laborers in cities, and the rate o
travel upon which we have figured
two cents mile--may be cOnsid
cred minimum, but we should find
a large gain If we took the minimum
price Of labor In rural districts, ant
-ts.o sssss.i....s... ~.-&.. AZ faro on rail
roads and steamers.
Passing In review the list Of com
modities and necessities of moderl
life, we find, In the aggregate, labo

r'sThat Is The eighth man I've killed. I"
said Jack Smith, gloomily,, after the
Coroner had ''sat" on his victim. Jack
was engineer on the Cleveland and To-
ledo Railroad, and one of the bost that
ran into Cleveland some ten years ago.
Hundreds of people made it their
habit to walk on the track fo, mile or
two out, and as there were several tracks
with trains passing and repassing con-
stantly, careless of deaf people, land deaf f
folks always seem to prefer O railrond
track to walk on,) in stepping off tho
track to getout of the way of ono train,
frequently got right in the way of ono
approaching unobscrvcd in another di :
rectlon. In such cases. however careful
an engineer may be, he cannot prevent n
catastrophe
Eyes, " said Jack, after brooding over
it in very melancholy way, ''that's the
eighth man I've killed in jos' that way
walking on the other track, and then
stepping right in front of my locomotive
'thout once seein' me. But this is the
wust case of all," continued Jack, pro-
ducipg his pocket handkerchief and
blowing his nose with much feeling,
"wust case of all, and feel drefful about
it," His voice trembled, and tear
trickled down his bronzed cheek.
''How worst of oil, Jack?" 1 inquired.
"Why, you see," said Jack, che was
big fat man, and he mussed my engine
oil up!'
