In every sense of the word the far
mer is a working man He rises ear
ly, labors late and eats the bread of
toll, and yet on this account he ought
not to classify himself with the $50
called workingman's party or allow
any one else to mix him up with it.
That party as organized is essential

force upon him conditions inimical to
his interest. 1t might not in this
country attempt to deprive him OF
his land, but it does not hesitate to
denounce him for demanding more
than eight hours work for a days Ia
Dor.
The farmer employs himself as
well as others, and ~prescribes the
same tasks and methods for himself
and them. This ought to satisfy the
hireling, but it does not. He de-
mands shorter time and combines
with city laborers to obtain what he
clamors for.
In large manufactures driven by
steam there may be some excuse for
short hours. There the skilled work.
man attends the action of wheels.
To do this continuously engenders
great fatigue. The steam engine is
a hard master and demands constant
exertion without interval for rest.
1t is not wonderful, therefore, that
those whose motions must coincide
with its revolutions appeal to society
for relief from such an Inscriptions
driver, for the manipulation of a ma
chine is more exhausted and enfee-
bled by eight hours of such constant
drudgery, often performed while De-
cupying unnatural positions, than is
the farmer who puts in quietly and
in the open air, all the time that in
tervenes between sunrise and sunset.
In these days of progress the farm
er uses machinery as well as the
manufacturer, but it is rarely driven
by steam, and is of a kind that dimin-
ishes exertion instead of increasing
it. To drive is far less exhaustine
than the old mode Of moving, reap
ing or blowing. 1t would be q great
wrong, therefore, to the farmerif af-
ter furnishing such relief to laborers,
short hours should be enforced
against him as is contemplated by
the labor-leagues.
The farmer ought not, therefore,
to identify himself with such organ.
cations. He is most interested in
obtaining cheap labor and if he is
wise will insist upon having it.

lIoughoworth, IN advent evangelist, wen, to
Clifford about sin weeks agO AID preached the
way of salvation TO sinners tie was b wears
of arc, eloquent and stirred the people up.
He made converts rapidly and among them
I vas Miss Eva Roberts, who was his sweetest
niger OF revival songs. One Saturday iIougho
worth baptized fourteen persons by immersion,
and cleaned up his work so far as it had gone.
AFTER the ceremony be slipped note into Miss
Eva Robcrts's hand, when she slipped out of
sight This slippery business was observed
by John Bell, railroad station agent at Clifford,
and the accepted lover and atlianccd husband
of Eva. Bell had observed the intimacy of
Houghoworh and Miss Roberts before and
this act made him watchtully jealous. He
knew she had already made convert of the
preacher by her sacred singing of Sankey's
and Bliss hymns, and be watched. On that
same afternoon iioug howorth drove away from
Clifford, saying that he was going to visi. his
wife and children at LisComb, thirty miles oil.
He would however, return IN "A few days and
resume his revival work, he hoped with still
4 more viGor and success. SO he went his way,
and John Bell watched. Miss Roberts gave
Bell letter to post for her, 1t was addressed
TO some strange, unknown name in LiScOmb.
tBcll could not help it-hc opened the letter,
read, rCsealcd, posted II and made his mind.
The letter was for Houghoworth. 1t detailed
plan of mectlng between the preacher and
&c girl They were to make short trip to-
rher-she pretending to be off on a visit to
nae relatives, he telling his wife that he had
gone back to his religious work at Clifford.
Miss Roberts went, uDhindcrcd by Bell.
Bell was seen one morning cleaning rusty
revolver and shooting at mark. That day he
telegraphed to The main Office at MarshaltOwn
for them to send on man TO relieve him, as he
intended to kill himself Miss Roberts arrived
on the train. He helped her out oihe car and
walked with her mp Tie track. \ little out Of
the way of the station he put the revolver TO
Miss Robertss breast, fired and killed her. He
then turned the pistol on himself, fired couple
of shots into his chest and a couple more into
her PROSTATE body, and lying down by her side
took her lifeless form INTO his arms and waited.
He died, and this little love affair put stop
TO the religious revival in Clifford.

The following is a synopsis ofthc compulsory
education bill which passed the house at
Springfield last week and which will probably
pass the senate:
1t provides thai every child in this State be
tween s and II years Of aye shall be sent TO
school for at least twelve weeks in each school
years. Any parent or guardian failing to com
ply with this law shall be liable to fine of not
less than So nor more than $40, To he collected
bv any Director or the President Of the local
School Board, before any Justice Of The Peace
in the town Directors shall be liable 10 a fine
If they neglcc, to prosecute within ten days
after receiving written notice of Il violation of
this law. Millowners, landlords. and any en-
ploycr may be fined not less than $50 nor more
than $50 for employing any child under II
years of age without certificate from the teach
CT, or the clerk or President ottGr local board,
witnessing that ths law has been complied
with. Ii Ii not certain hut l. held To- be very
probable, that the hill Will pass the Senate.
This act is very similar "a the Ohio statue
directed 10 the same object. which has proved
a dead letter there. The trouble. We are told.
is that nobody seems 10 lake interest enough
in other peoples children to induce them to
serve the written notice upon Directors with
out which they cannot W made liable for fail
ure Ia prosecute parents who disregard the law.
1t is asserted, however, that while there have
been few prosecutions un,lcr the Ohio statute
il has not been wijhcut a Wholesome effect upon
school attendance, which has materially in.
creased in some localities. Ii is difficult To- re.
sist the logic OF the advocates of compulsory
education, who stoutly maintain that since the
right of the State to tax for the maintenance Of
schools is justified by the argument that educa-
ton is CONSERVATION Of the public veal, then
should the State not only compel property
owners to support the schools. but compel at
tendance upon them.
