The Obligations CT q Party News
paper.

1t is necessity of circumstance
that the ordinary newspaper in this
country should be q political paper
1t would be but dull affair did il
ignore politics, and it would have
bnt few friends worth having should
it fail TO attach itself to some politi-
cal party: Consequently We find
few Journals, except those devoted
to some speciality, which do not
claim to belong to one or the other
of the political parties of the country
and the exact nature and obligation
of this relationship is an interesting
question to all. We cannot attempt
to go over all the ground that the
case covers, but manifestly it is the
duty of party paper to use heartily
aud honestly all proper means to se-
cure the success of the party 70
which it belongs. The obligation
does not require slavish allegiance
nor blind unquestioniDg accept
ance of partisan DEGREES. 1t does
not check honest criticism nor de.
mand silence where there is an ap-
parent departure from established
principles of the organization. But
it does require prompt and cheer
full acquiescence where personal pre-
ference have been overruled by the
will of the majority, and willing
ness to overlook minor faults and err.
rors as long as the general objects
tor which the party las been form
ed are recognized and sought.
Under our form of government,
political parties are a necessity. In
dividual skirmishers, charging around
at random, may be very much in
earnest and very conscientious. but
they accomplish no good result. To
succeed they must combine. But in
all combined effort the individual
workers will find much that they
might wish different. Still, if the
general average result is satisfactory,
they should not camplain. IL is
much easier to pick flaws in others
work than TO do pertecl work our.
selves, and there is a strong temp.
sation wnen our personal preferen.
ces have not pleased the majority, to
indulge in querulous seedlings and
complaints, which are sure, of course,
to reappear in the opposition news
paper in capitals and at the head of
the column. If party is worthy of
any support at all, it is of hearty
support, and all acts of petty insub-
ordination are unjust and unworthy.
When a newspaper has not the mag
nanimity to submit gracefully to par.
ty action, it ought to be honorable
enough to disavow its allegiance to
the party which is receiving its
heaviest shots and sharpest prods.--

cess. What wonder that young
men, looking at such q result as
that, revolt from a similar career?
WHAT wonder that intelligent young
women prefer respectable poverty,
in town, to wealth like that?
Again: A short time since three
ladies Ut my acquaintance spent an
afternoon visiting friend, a farm
er's wife, living about three miles
from the city. Her husband is
wealthy, the farm one of the finest
10 the country, abundance of stock
sleek and bat, and large, expensive
house, kept clean and tidy; but the
spacious parl0r was not furnished,
because, the lady said, they had so
little company it was not worth
while, and her household duties
scarcely gave her leisure to visit
with her guests. That evening a
distinguished lecturer was to speak
10 t0wr the farmers wife expressed
desire to hear him, but said it was
impossible, as she must be at home
to look after the milk. Why did
she not have competent help, which
would leave her something like the
same leisure which lady in town,
with similar means, enjoys. No
wonder her visitors prefer the small.
err income, but freer, more reasona-
BILE and enjoyable life of their own
position.
Make home comfortable and at
tractive, my farmer friends flowers,
shru bbeiy, trees, pictures, papers,
magazines and books are the most
valuable things, for their cost. in the
world. Surprising they do cost a
little money and use some time it
is for such uses that time and money
are intended. A cheerful, attractive
home is the best product of civiIiza-
ton all ether things exist but as
helps to this. The result of FIVE
thousand years of human thought,
and toll, and striving upward, is ex-
pressed in the difference between the
hut of the savage and the home of
the gentleman. The patrons OF Hus-
bandry, the Changers. are called to
consideration of serious questions
affecting their material interest !;
but money ia hardly worth winning
unless wisely used, and among the
imperative duties and expected
benefits of these orders, is the grad
ual elevation of social and intellect.
ual country life, until the farmers
home shall be what it ought to be-
the most pleasant spot on earth

THE LOGIC OF DEBT.
And An Explanations OF the Process by which
Rich Men Often Find Themselves Poor.

Iron the 81. Louis Rspub:ieAn.)
The mistake which our people are
continually making, over and over
again, is that of imagining they can
grow rich by going into debt-that
they are rich if they own houses,
farms and stocks, even though they
are 10 debt to q half or three.quar.
tiers the value of them. A man who
owns 100000 worth of property.
and owes so 900 of debt, imagines
he is pretty well of, and is supposed
by bis acquaintenees to be rich. But
is he? By mathematical calculation
he appears to be worth $4,000.
rince his debts amount to one.halt
his estimated possessions. But the
fierce logic of legal reckoning tells q
different story. AS long as skies
are bright, confidence nnimpared
and business prosperous-so long, in
short, as his creditors do not want
their money-he manages easily to
go through all the forms of being
rich. But be forgets one important
fact, on which the whole question
hinges, that his debt cannot depri.
cate one half. A $1,000 debt cannot
grow smaller by any financial dis.
turbance that takes place but
81 900 piece of property, whether it
be farm or railroad bond, if put
up at forced sale for cash, at
time when money is scarce and no
body wants to buy, may not bring
more than $500. This is the simple
explanation of the constantly recur.
ring fact that 100000 worth of
property, when forced into market
by the sheriff or administrator, only
pays $780, 900 debts, aud leaves the
man who imagined himself rich ab.
solutely penn iless.

GENERAL GRANT AS AN ORATOR.
The st. Louis Democrat has the fol-
lowing: "a returned delegate, who
attended the reunion of the Society
of the Army OF the Potomac at To-
ledo, says that General Grant ex-
pressed q desire to deliver the ora
ton before the society as the next
reunion, at Springfield, ILL.,, and
thereupon Gems. Hurlbut, who had
been elected orator, expressed his
willingness to give way to the Pres
ident. 1t seems TO be settled, there
fore, that President Grant will! be
the next orator. President Grant is
capable of giving the orators OF the
country noodle of brevIty and con.
ciseness. His unofficial story Of his
campaigns would be read with in
