DESIRE, FOR. OFFICIAL. a. the

DESIRE, FOR OFFICIAL. .s the
very lowest calculation one-half of
the people are anxious to get into
an Office. This is surprising when
it is looked at in sensible manner.
Nine out of ten of such would give
up a permanent business that affords
sufficient income with the addition
of their labor to support their fani-
lies, for an Office which will not net
more than two thirds as much.
This may be accounted for by TAX
ing for a fact, the prevalent idea
that the honor Of being public
functionary is enough to pay for all
the trouble and loss that accrues to
legitimate business while the person
(oficer) us engaged in the business
of The nation If we may believe
what we hear there is no employ
ment so low in the scale of morality
as that Of Office holding. Still the
eagerness to sway the official scep-
tire of even the office of high consta-
bic is not abated a whit. They are
willing to 60 one eye on it just to
see how it goes to be in Office.
The people find fault because per-
sons are elected as lawmakers and
to Offices of trust, who are no better
qualified for the position than an
Indian would be for cashier of a
bank. Then why are such men
elected ? The only reason is they
belong to party and receive the
nomination. If the reader is tied
down to a party so as to feel in
duty bound to vote for men because
they are nominated, when it is well
known that they are incompetent,
then he had better get out of that
position as quickly as possible. If
parties are organized so that the ma
jority of those whom they elect to
office are putty heads, the sooner
such parties cease to exist the bet
ter for the people. To keep up
parties for such purpose is worse
than nonsense.

while the "railroad men" are thus
stealing the money at home their fami-

1t was once said by capitalist in
England that when new railroad is
constructed, two things are always DONE
First, ground is broken with great cere-
mony; and then the stockholders are
broken without any ceremony at all.
That is the way it is done in America,

Mr.. Raths, proprietor of the City
Hotel at Hastings, was recently arrest
ed on complaint Of Mrs. Herbst for SELL
ing liquor to her husband, an habitual
drunkard. Mr.. Raths was fined $50
and costs and his license taken from
him.
Served him right; there are saloon
keepers in other cities that would be
better Of a little of the same kind of
medicine. We are creditably in
formed that in the model city of
Red Wing, there are one or more
saloon keepers who make it a con-
slant practice to sell liquor to the
most confirmed habitual drunkards.
Men who are known to the saloon
keepers to spend every cent of their
money in drink, and to leave their
families in destitution and actual
suffering. If there is anything in
this world that is worse than high
way robbery, it is the taking advan
tage Of mans uncomfortable appe
tite to steal the bread out of the
mouths of his wife and children.

SUNsH1NE.-A physician in one
of the New York Hospitals has late
ly given the following testimony with
regard to the value of sunshine:
eve inquired of DR.. Griscom what
proportion of these crippled patients re-
covered ?-we beg the reader to note
the significance of his answer He said;
''nearly all on the sunny side of the
hospital recover, while many on the
shady side Gnger along until gangrene
sets in when death comes to their re-
hef.' We expressed surprise that a
patient should be placed in a room
where the chances were against his re-
covery, and inquired, why not have sun
ny rooms for all?'' He answered:
"The hospital is not large enough for
this; and when the good rooms are full
those who come in later must accept
such accommodations as we can furnish
whether they live or die. We do the
best we can with the rooms at our dis
posal. As soon as the south-side rooms
become vacant, we move northside pa
tients into them, and so keep them al
ways full
What an argument in favor of
glorious sunshine. We need more
of it in our parlors, in our sitting
rooms, bed rooms and kitchens,
throughout our halls, palaces, work
shops, Offices, school houses and
churches. Throw up the shutters,
roll up the curtains, scrape off the
pant from painted panes, and let
the glorious sunlight come in, God
made it, and it Will hurt no one.
Never mind the carpets, life and
health and joy are of more value
than all the bright colors, in all the
carpets Ing Christendom. Sunlight
is Natures great medicator. And

Time to Sow Grass Seed,

More than sixty years ago careful eX-
periments We're made in this State, in the
hope OF obtaining such Information rs

time OF sowing grass seed, and the prac-
tlce OF seeding down in the fall was then
commenced by q few individuals. At and
before that time, the practice of sowing in
the spring was universal, and the same
custom has generally prevailed till within
a very few years. Both the practice and
the opinion of the best practical farmers
among us have changed to considerable
extent, and it is now commonly thought
best to SOW grass seed in the fall, early in
september, if possible, mixing no grain or
anything else with it, though there are,
and always Will be. some cases where the
Practlce OF sowing in the spring with
grain IS convenient and iudicious. There
can be no doubt that it is, in most cases.
