COMMUNICATIONS
Farmers PaDcY.

On the 2lst of February the Farmers
committee met at Urbana Church, and on
motion Joseph Horton, Esq was called to
the chair-and "A. Il. Naff to act as secre-
tary. The portion of the committee
present reported that some stock had been
secured and that the prospect was encours
aging fol- getting the amount required for
starting an Agricultural paper.
Col. S. X. N. Patton suggested that
a committee of three be appointed to
gather up subscriptions.
A.. +. Naa proposed that it would be
a good idea to get out a specimen copy
Of the paper proposed to be published and
secure subscriptions at once. Col. Bullen
and Esq. Horton thought it better for the
original committee to go on with their
work as laid out at a previous meeting.
Col. Patton moved hat a committee of
-
two from each club and Grange be APP

posing, and as between two mighty nations
the strife wages hotter and with more
widespread havoc than between two small
p~rincipallties, SO when the forces are. the
most powerful will there be tie greatest
manifestation of active life.
Among the battles of civilization none
is moro vigorously waged than hat be,
tween education and crime, and education
has become the aggressive force. The
very essence Of crime is opposed to that
of civilization. Civilization seeks a cons
munity ofinterests; crime, the interest of
one alone. Civilization tends to bind the
race together ; crime, to disjoip them.
Civilization builds cities, lays down rail,
roads, spans rivers with bridges, constructs
hospitals : crime fires the line Of ware
houses orprivate dwellings, tears up the
rails, breaks the bridges, pitics neither
sickness nor death. No two other forces
could be more antagonistic. Civilization.
obliged to defend its life, looks around
for some agent capable Of defending aud
preserving it, some BOLD, fearless and ag>
gressiye power that shall make rcprisals
in the euemy's co untry, and selects uni
versal education as this power, and
rightly, for this is the only force capable
Of doing the work rightly, though it de-
mands a large outlay at first, and though
many who think only for the present, as
sert the money paid out thus to be a bad
Investment, at least a non-paying one, if
not a losing one. But civilization is too
strong for its oppOsers, and against the
power of its opponent, crime, it sets up
its educational banners and moves its ed
ucational forces in solid phalanx and in
lines of skirmishers.
DO we desire to see how crime intrench,
es itself in Ignorance and superstition the
child cfignorance, we have only to glance
at the statistics of any prison, the home
of offenders against society, against %ciyili-
cation. WcSterR World.

Der OF the party as we'll as the party in
its organized capacity must bear the
odium and become responsible for its con.
sequence. The man who voted for this
measure and took the money says to his
constituents either that he has no regard
for honesty and integrity or that he be-
lleves it is rightNto thus appropriate the
peoples money to his own use at his will.
In eitherrespect the man of such faith as
to official integrity and the rights of Office
should not be intrusted with public affairs
nor the handling of the peoples money.
If 1t is right in principle in members
elected on a salary of $4,000 to increase
this to $1,000 for the expiring as well
as the coming term to which they had
been reelected it will be equally so in
some future Congress to pass another Bill
increasing the salary to any sum which
may suit the taste and a~varice of a major.
ity of its members. The principle is es,
sentially wrong and cannot and will not
be endorsed by the people. But laying
aside the abuse of honor and betrayal of
trust implied in the support of such a
measure, is it right? Is it just as between
the people and their delegates in Cons
gresS to them--the delegates-so large a
sun as $4,000 per term. Why should
this be? Many of these gentlemen
could not make exceeding 81 1000 in the
space of time they now spend in the pubs
lie service if they were at homo and iu
their ordinary occupation. The farmer
and mechanic don't oftermake this amount
in a lifetime. The day laborer at $l2
per month, the ordinary wages in Jlast
Tennessee, would net earn it in one huns
dred years yet these farmers, mechan-
les and day laborers are forced to contri
butte of their small earnings to make up
this enormous salary. We would favor Lbs
eral compensation for public service but
extravaganza and extortion ought not to
DO favored or tolerated. $4,000 per
term was ample and sufficient and there
was no necessity for this increase to $15,.
600 just at this time when the people are
already ovorburdened with taxation.
Let the men who voted for this in
crease and who have wruug the money
from the people and now have it in their
pockets bear the odlum, but Let the peo>
pie, men oE of all parties, set the seal of
their disapprobation on the men as well as
their acts and in the future this act of
reputation will stand as a guaranty Of
official honesty, and secure a faithful exc,
cution of public trust in the handsof pub
lie officials. This is the only remedy the
people have and let the remedy be up>
piled by all men,

CHARLES SUMNER.

O. Charles Sumner, the illustrious States
man and Senator, from Massachusetts,
died in Washington on the 18th inst.
e from disease of the heart. He was born
in Boston, Mass, January 9th 1911. He
graduated at Harvard in 1880, and after
wards read law under Judge Story. He
was admitted to the bar at the age of 20
years and obtained at once a large prac>
tice. lie was elected to the United
States Senate in 1850, which position he
has occupied ever since.
He has for q number Of years been the
leading antioslavery mar in the United
States, having from the first entertained
tie most advanced ideas on that subject.
No half way measures ever satisfied his
ideas of equality, and no sooner was one
point gained than another was put for>
ward and advocated with all the ~fervency
that the depth and earnesLuess of his
character had inspired.
Rich in mental resources, thoroughly
informed upon all points that could be
brought TO bear by his opponents coupled
with his unberdiug will great powers of
oratory, and manifest sincerity in what
ever he undertook, he was one Of the
most formidable antagonists as he
was the most powerful advocate
of any measure he opposed or favored.
In him the colored man has lost one of
his earliest as well as his latest friends,
for the. closing days of his life were dcyo,
ted to the Civil Rights Bill now pending
before Congress. This is the only great
measure of his life that remains uncon>
sumated, ard this duty lie has bequeathed
to his friends and successors.
Perhaps no man since the death oil
Abraham Lincoln will be more univer-
sally mouracd or generally missed than
Cnarlss Sumner. Even those who were
his bitterost Political enemies in life has
ten to do honor to lis memory now that
he can no longer speak for himself, and
from one end Of the land to the other the
country is in mourning over the loss of
one of the best, the purest and most tall
ented of her sons.

No Excellence without Labor.

Sheridan, the son ola player, and him
self a dramatist and the manager of a
thcater, had many of the peculiarlties be,
longing to the stage but, although bis
taste was sometimes at fault and his rho-
toric too ford, he certainly exercised
wonderful control over the multitude.
And here again, to correct the impression
which so generally prevails that great or
ators throw off without f~orethought or er-
fort speeches which electrify and astoni8h
the world, it will be proper to add that
he never ventured to appear in public
without elaborate preparation, and the
hne passages were always written two OF
three times over, even the minutest points
being carefully considered. "No excel
lence without labor" is a law of universal
application.-Homc and School. .

GRUMBLERS.

There are to be found in every depart
ment of business persons who ar, proper.
ly denominated grumblers. They are al
ways finding fault-always complaining
never satisfied. They are, no doubt, clev>
er fellows but they seldom succeed in any>
thing they undertake. Those who do
not succeed are the grumblers, generally
speaking. You can hear them saving +.
"Tho world is all wrong. Men are grow
ing worse and worse. Society is going
all to pieces" A confirmed grumbler is
an intolerable nuisance. His melancholic
CALCULATIONS chill the enthusiasm of the
Young, cripple enterprise, induce idleness
and poverty, ard bring about the very
things the grumbler hopes to shun. The
anciants had a saying that the gods help
those who help themselves. If fortune
does not smile on your, grumbling
will not mend the matter. Don't COM
plain, don't grumble, but 60 to work and
try to do something and you will most
likely succeed.

The Salary Grab. What Il is,

A plain statement of facts will be suf>
ficient to answer this question. Just at
the close Of the last session of the 42d
Congress, a small majority of the Mem
bers by their votes appropriated to thom>
selves the sum of 81, 900 each in addition
to the salary of $4,000 per term as thus
fixed by law, thereby making the salary
of each momber $4,000 per term. But
this is not all nor the worst feature of
the bill. The members f~avorlng this in
crease were careful to so shape the bill
as to make it reach back two years in the
past, thereby securing to themselves not
only the additional $4,000 for the future
term next following, but also the sum of
$1,000 for the term then just closing in
addition to the $4,000 already drawn by
them from the Treasury, for services al,
ready rendered, and which they-the
members-contracted with the people to
render for $4,000 per term. poo
This it should be observed was in
March, 1873, at the close Of the 42nd
Congress. Some Of the members had
been reelected to the 43l Congress-now
in session-while others had not, and con
sequently had no interest in the bill 50 far
as relates to the future payment to
members of the 43d Congress. The res
elected members could not pass The bill
without the votes of the outgoing men,
bers, and the outgoing members could not
make tho grab without the cooperation
ton of the reelected members. What
then? The difficulty was apparent but
the remedy was equally so. Give us,
said the newly elected members to the
outgoing members, $4,000 for the next
term and We will give %you-and ourselves
too-thc same, that is $4,000, for the
term just closing, Tho proposition needed
only to be stated to be accepted.
BY this combination the Salary Grab
Bill became a law aud 100000 of TIE
peoples money was in the pockets Of the
peoples representatives. This was not a
party measure. Those who w9rc viii.
lingto ~ inappropriate the peoples money
to their own use voted for the Bill without

Why is It that some persons are al
ways complaining about the school tax ?
The taxes are high to be sure, but how
much does the school tax Increase them ?
The sch6ol,tax is a small matter when
compared with the tax imposed upon the
people for crime. Is it not cheaper to
prevent crime than it is to punish it.
