fully with the rich perennial green of
the dense hemlocks. The painted

by no other presence. The blue vail

only the yellow stubble. The white
rime that glistens in the northern
sun and cool northern breezes, in
form us that Boreas is awaking from
his summer nap and will soon be
down upon us with his white legions.
We draw our drapery about us and
shiver at the thought of encountering
Potter county winter. But it will
surely come and must be met with a
grim smile.
Our farmers have most Of their
crops harvested. The song of the
threshing machine is heard in the
land.

its appearance, at least.
The spirit of improvement is rife

cause its acquisition requires much
time and toll and money expended
in obtaining it. Still most people
who 90 to sea themselves prefer to
pay for it, costly as it is and ever
must be, rather than go to the bot
tom for the want of it; though some
who fit out ships for others to sail
on, let all go to the bottom ofthe sea
! together to save costs in the outfit.
As good a general will diffuse his real
spirit over a whole army of men
simply by his wise, prompt, timely
and consistent action, without ever
giving them single word of exhor-
tation, or of anything that looks like
it, so a good teacher will diffuse his
own spirit over all the school without
ever saying a single word about it.
1t runs through them all like an un-
seen and unheard electrical current,
thrilling all hearts, and inspiring all
souls as it goes, no one can tell how;
and the greatest beauty of it all is,
neither the teacher nor the general
can tell how they do it themselves,
nor teach any other second person
how to do it precisely as they do.
All these mOmentous themes | must
drop now, to take a peep into the
school-room, these little curly heads
and cleaning eyes, winch care no
more for our indurated fOllics. either
of vanity or avarice. or our stupid
conservatism, than do the Zephyrs
that wave their haxen curls. or the
sparkles that gleam out of their
dreamy wondrous eyes.
There they stand, so full of young
life and hope and dormant brain
power, ready for the touch of the
master to develop and apply it either
for good or for evil; and if not for
good it must be for evil. Remember
that no child ever yet went to school
without being educated; not the
least danger of that; they will all be
educated; every day and hour they
are there either in good or evil. 1t.
is wholly impossible to bring fifty or
one hundred children together with
ont learning something every day
and every hour. l. have heard pa
rents complain that their children
learned nothing at school. There
never was Il greater mistake. They
always learn, and learn very fast too;
and all the time they are not learing
something good. or that tends to
good, they are learning some mis-
chief that tends only to evil and ruin,
either in malicious pranks or i'll con
frmed habits Of listlessncss, idleness
and iniattentiOn. 4 bad teacher will
utterly demoralize a whole army of
children in a single month, just as
bad general will lose a whole army
of men in a single battle.

4 brief visit to the Fair House

handsomely trimmed with evergreens
and presented a most attractive APP
pearance. 1t was already filling up
with goods, wares and merchandise"
of the most attractive sort, as well
as with the smaller products of the
farm and dairy. As usual. many of
our business men took occasion to
exhibit some of their most tasteful
wares, thus at the same time adding
to the interest of the exhibition and
calling attention to their own goods.
Among these we noticed especially a
display Of beautifully finished black
walnut furniture by Messrs. Van
Horn & Chandler. Of stoves by
Messrs. ". c. kress 4 Co., of china
and house furnishing goods by G.. b.
Kelley, and Of cabinet organs and
sewing machines. We are glad to
say that the mammoth squash, weigh
ing a hundred pounds, more or less,
was on hand; also that the inevitable
patchwork quilt was not wanting.
When we saw these we knew there
was going to be a County Fair.

For the Journal and Iteu


EDITOR JOURNAL:-The unfortu-
nate results of the recent "panic"
and the apparent absence of any real
cause for it have led me to reflect
upon the possibility of so arranging
the currency of the country as to
prevent the chance of similar panics
for the future.
There is a very prevalent opinion
throughout the country at the pres
ent time that, owing to the natural
increase of the business of the coun-
try within the past ten years, we need
an increase of the currency in order
10 carry out the necessary exchanges
arising thercfrom, but any movement
in this direction is opposed by the
more conservative portion of the
community on the grounds that any
snch expansion would lead to specu-
lation and bring about a still more
disastrous panic when this additional
amount of currency was absorbed by

THE Elmira AdUertjser, in writ
ing of the "Moral Of the Panic" saws
among other things:
That we ought to be in less of a
hurry. We do not remember much
Latin. but We recall a proverb which
admonishes man, and does not ex-
cept bankers, to hasten slowly. 1t
ought to take man life time to get
rich-and when lie once becomes so,
he ought to be ready to die, because
his life has not been spent in the wis
est possible manner. These great
fortunes that are made in a minute
are the devils own inventions for the
injury and depreciation Of the race.
The few cannot be suddenly and i'm
mensely enriched except at the ex-
pense of the many. We call our
government democratic govern
ment, but in money matters it is not
cash IS too apt to be king. The
rich are too likely to rule and the
poor are too likely to suffer. If all
would take little more time i'm the
matter Of accommodating riches, there
would be a better chance for all. If
there was general concession there
would be general prosperity.
The fact is we are living too fast
and doing business upon too large a
scale. The nineteenth century is the
lightning century-all hurry and
fash and smash. 1t ought to be
against the law to be so precipitate
and reckless. 1t is against the law
of mans being and Of real prosper
ty. When we learn 10 be more Sc
date we shall be more secure.
No doubt this is so, but not only
for the sake of business success and
financial security, but for the sake
of all Ionor and manliness, for all
truth and honesty, should we earnest
ly seek to change the feeling that

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Col. Cox,

hundred pensions to American citi-
zens residing in England, Scotland,
ireland, Wales, France, Prussia, and
III many instances to pensioners re-
siding on the islands of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans not belonging

paid by bills of exchange. The Uni
ted Stated is the only government
that pays pensions to citizens who
have taken up their abodes in other
countries.

urges us all to make haste to be rich.
The Rev. John B. Pradt, in SER
mon here many years ago, said that
avarice was the great temptation
the prevailing sin of the present age.
That from it grow others that we
are trying to overcome. These re-
marks recur to us in later years with
much force, for we see plainly that
even the gigantic liquor traffic lives
and pollutes the land, more because
of the wealth it brings to those en-
gagged in it than because of any de
mand of the consumers. Because
liquor dealers grow rich by poison
ing the blood and sapping the foun-
dations of health, industry and hap
piness, drawing their wicked gains
from those who earn them hardly
and are left to pursue their wealth
makes them powerful and respect
able!
So Of all political falsehood and
that has to be investigated"
all commercial and financial strain
ing after great profts-it is because
we must all grow rich. But with it
all, and while one does not know
where to look, there comes up to
view, ever and anon, a good solid
backbone of honesty and upright
ness that gives us hope and courage.
We shall learn the lesson in time,
and even our haste to be rich shall
pass away.

THE Buffalo EGpress has an arti-
Gle again on ''The Modocs," )" saying
the ''tragic fate" of the Modoc war
this day isto have its ''last important
act'' in the hanging of five miserable
savages who escaped being killed by
an Oregon Ku-Klux when some of
their companions were. These men
are murderers-and must be hung as
an example to all "wild Indians of
the punishment certain to follow
similar crimes"
But nleum and tltum are different
things, and those who inhumanly
butchered the Indian prisoners in
the presence of their wives and chill
dren are suffered to escape that they
may be duly warned of the punish
ment certain not to follow similar
crimes"
The Express does indeed say sit
is to be regretted that all wild In
dians and all the whites who deal
with them or attack them could not
be under the control of court-mar-
tials. 1t is utterly idle to attempt
to apply the civil law to the cases
which are constantly arising between
Indians and frontiersmen," which ap-
pears to include the white savages.-
If there could be in courts martial
or anywhere else little even-handed
justice that would punish crime the
same whether committed by whites
or Indians, it would be a happy
thing for both, and for all the coun-
try.

the necessities of the new enterprises
that would be created by it.
In order to meet the views of all
parties | would therefore advocate
the creation Of currency that would
in itself be both expansive and con-
tractive, according to the needs OF
the business community. To accom-
plish this l would suggest that the
Government should issue one thou
sand millions of Legal Tender notes
bearing 3.65 per cent interest, and
with these they should retire those
now in circulation and buy up as
much of the Government debt as the
surplus would admit of. This would
enable them to issue the whole
amount and make saving of inter-
est to the Government of the differ
ence of interest on the notes pur-
chased, less the interest on amount
of legal tenders now in circulation.
would have the interest on the
notes paid monthly to prevent their
being withdrawn from circulation as
the interest accumulated, and would
have the notes of no less a denomi-
nation than one hundred dollars,
leaving the banks to issue the small
er circulation, as at present, upon
deposit of Government bonds so as
to save unnecessary detail and ex-
pense to the Government. This be-
ing done, it is apparent to my mind
that Just so much Of this currency as
was not needed for business purposes
would be held as temporary invest
ment as it would be no object to
take the risk and trouble Of employ
ing it for q mere saving Of or 2 per
cent than preventing the market rate
of interest from going low enough to
foster speculation, whilst on the other
hand when the needs Of the country
required it would be shown by an
advance of the market rate of inter
est to per cent and over this cur
rency would come gradually in active
circulation again and prevent such
sudden and violent disturbance as
we have recently been subject to.
Under such an arrangement as this
the western banks could afford TO
keep their currency in their vaults
until it was required for moving the
crops instead of sending it to New
FORK to be employed at low rates OF
interest, thus causing periodical
stringency when they are called upon
to return it. | have fixed upon an
interest of 3.65 per cent for facility
in calculating and because it might
bc desirable to make the accumulated
interest a legal tender as well as the
face Of the rate. | should be pleased
to have your views on this crude
statement of the plan proposed.
