SECRETARY OF STATE.

Two years ago we suggested Hon John
S. Irgens, Of Mower county, as suitable
candidate for this important Office. lie
was then unknown except within the linn
its Of his own county, bat notwithstanding
that, he lacked but few votes to give him
the nomination. Last winter he was q
member of the Legislature, where he be:
came distinguished foc the same ability
and manly characteristics which had
made him popular at home. He now has
state reputation, and we doubt not thai
the nomination to the candidacy for which
we present his name, will be conceded
without opposition. So thorough are his
qualifications. and so undisputed is hi.
fitness for the place, that public opinion
IN reference to him seems to have fore
stalled this more formal recommends
ton, and secured its own expression ii
advance of the usual time, and in viola
ton of the custom which has always Civ
en- to candidates the prcrogativc Of an

character and ability as essential in it;
representatives it cannot better exemply it
regard than by selecting MIR. Irgens TO
the office Of Secretary of State.

1t would be very easy for our farmers in

their crops. This may do as provisional

Failure or Success In Life.

Take two men--ir they could be found
exactly alike in mental and bodily apti
tubes, and let one 60 on carelcssly and
idly, indulging his appetitcs, and general
" leading life Of pleasure, and let the
other train himself by early hours, by
temperate habits, and by giving to mus
cles and brain each their fair share of en-
ployment, and at the end of two or three
years they will be as wide apart in theil
capacity for cxertion as if they had been
born with wholly different constitutions
Without a normal, healthy condition there
can, as rule, be no good work; and
though that qualification cannot absolute
ly be secured or preserved by airy rules, a
little common sense and care will 20 8
long way both in securing and preserving
it. On that point I would give you these
hints: First, That it is not mental labor
which hurts anybody, unless the excess
be very great, but rather fretting and tldgct
ing over the prospect of labor to be gone
through; so that the man who can accus
tom himself to take things coolly, which
is quite Us much matter Of discipline as
ofnature, and who, by keeping we'll before
hand with that he has to do, avoids undue
hurry and nervous excitement, bass great
advantage over one who follows different
practice. Next, would warn you tina,
those students who think they have nc
time for bodily exercise will sooner OF
later have to find time for illness. Third
when an opportunity Of choice is given
morning work is generally better thar
night work and lastly-a matter which
should not stop to allude to but that know
the dangers of an oycr-drivcn existence il
crowded town-if man cannot ge
through his days labor, of whatever kline
it may be, without artificial support Carti
fetal support'-that means beer or bour
bon), it should be serious consideration
for him whether that kind of labor is fl
for him at all.-Lord Derby.

TEMPER ANCE.

A great reformation is in progress.
Whether it will be successful or not de-
ponds entirely upon those who are direct
ing the movement. That man who expects
legislative machinery to grind out benefi-
cent results, will be disappointed. Laws,
if salutary and vigorously enforced will
aid in the work, but they will never SUI
pcrcedc the necessity for individual cxcr-
ton. Laws have not the power Of self.
enforcement, and unless citizens put the
legal machinery in operation and keep
it in motion, its existence will be Of no
consequence to the State. A prohibitory
law, to be valuable, must be enforced. To
enforce such u law is easy, if it be the
wish ofthc people, but it may as we'll be
admitted that three feurths of the popula-
ton Of a city cannot be coerced by one
fourth. The right may--it often does, re-
side with the minority, but the power
does not; and were the temperance peo-
pic to resort to force in support Of their
prohibitory law, they would learn very
soon that the foe is more than match
for them. A few particular localities
may be pointed at as exceptions, but as a
rule the temperance people-those who
are such truly-constitute not one quar-
ter Of the voting population of this state.
There are some who are ready to make
loud and long speeches on the side of re.
form if they can at the same time de-
nouncc somebody or make themselves ap-
pear to be heroes or martyrs-noth!ng
else ever calls such men out. There is
another class who arc very ardent in their
expressions when in the company Of total
abstinence men, but they use different
vernacular when talking with the vendors
and drinkers of rum. If we except the
women, (and they are to be excepted al.
ways in this connection) not one person
in four who processes to hate the traffic in
strong drink, can be relied upon to op.
pose it when opposition is understood to
involve persona! safety, or individual in.
terest' They say, "we are not going to
immediate ourselves upon the alter Of a
theory. We will not sacrifice our bust.
ness at the behest of few radicals who
want to make everybody yield to their
notions. If men will kill themselves
with liquor let them do so; it is no fault
Of oursn' That is the dominant senti.
ment upon the liquor question even
among those who profess to be ardent
temperance men. With such feeling
but little good can be accomplished. The
law can't save drunkards, but it helps
temperance men to do it. That great
achievement must result largely from in.
dividual effort. Suppose all the Saloons
were closed today in obedience to legal
authority. There would be as many
drunkards III the land as ever. That lie.
gal restraint would not work the reforma.
ton of men. They must be reformed by
personal effort. Ii the law closes Saloons
the Devil will open the tap-hole somewhere
else Thus it is evident that legal re.
styaints are wholly insufficient, and that
nothing less than the heroism and strength,
Of 81 christian character and example act
lively employed in the correction Of evil
habits, will ever be sufficient to accom-
p!ish the work Of reformat
