The Press and the Plow.

The Press and the Plow.
We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether the pumpkin vine
Turn up the hill or down.
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold;
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth twice told.
We are the favored ones OF earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We SOW, we reap the golden grain,
We gather in the corn.
We toil-we live on what we earn,
And more than this we do
We hear Of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows peaceful hour,
His atmosphere is strife.
A merchant thumbs his yard-stiek Ger,
Grows haggard at his toll,
He's not the man God meant him for;
Why don't he till the soil?
The doctor plods through storm and rain
Plods at his patients will;
When dead and gone, he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer-bless his noble soul!
He grasps the mighty earth,
And stamps it on his daily sheets
To cheer the aborer's heart
We sing the honor of the plow,
And honor to the press
Two noble instruments of toll,
Each with power to bless.
The bone, the nerve Of this fast age,
True wealth of human kind;
One tills the ver-faithful earth,
The other tiIls the mind.

SAINTS AND SINNERS.
What came of q Broad Gauge Con
tributicn to an Orthodox Church
in Greencastle, Indiana.

Our usually quiet city is in the
enjoyment Of a LEGAL sensation,
which, while it makes sinners
laugh, cannot but make the saints
grieve. Your reporter will pre-
mise by stating that the Metho-
dists of Greencastle have just
completed a handsome temple OF
worship, costing $4,000, contri-
buted in part by members of 9th
er denominations. Among the
subscribers to the building fund
was William Bridges, a stock
buyer by occupation, but a Uni
yersaIlst by profession. Now,
if there is anything that Bridges
is welded to, even to the sacri-
flee of his flock and herds, it is
his religious belief. He not only
believes in the doctrines of the
Broad-gauge church, but in pro-
pagating them at all times and
under all circumstances. So,
when the disciples of Wesley APP
preached Mr.. B. for a donation
he gave them 500 on condition
that Rev. Curry, brother Uni
versalist, should be permitted to
preach three different sermons
on such subjects as he might
choose in the new building. The
conditions were accepted, SO
Bridges states, and the money
paid in accordance with the terms
agreed upon. One of the three
sermons has already been deliv-
cred, and the way parson Curry
poured hot shot into the ortho-
dox camp was a caution to his
Inew-made friends. They say
they want "no more such preach
ing" His subject was, "Why |
am a Universalist." The parson
is announced for another sermon
the second of the course-on
Tuesday evening, the subject of
which is, "Why [ do not believe
in endless punishment" But the
Methodists now assert that it
was simply courtesy extended
him in the first instance, and not
a binding obligation, They even
propose to refund Mr.. Bridges
subscription, but he gives them
to understand that" "Church stock
has riE," and is now worth a
handsome premium. Meanwhile
your reporter ventures the pre-
diction that Curry will be per-
nitted to complete his course of
sermons, but no more subscrip-
tions to the Church Fund will
be taken on those conditions.

THE ARTHUK.GRANT PARADE.
A Protest from Democratic Members of IL,
Produce Exchange.

A Protest from Democratic Members of tho
Produce Exchange.
The preparations Of some OF the MEM
bers Of the Produce Exchange, Of New
York, to join in the Republican parade
Monday evening under the banner of the
Produce Exchange has created much dis
satisfaction on the floor Of the Exchange
among those who do not wish politics to
enter there, and yesterday ten copies of
the following paper were circulated among
the members and received several hundred
signatures. The protest says:
''The New York Produce Exchange being
a purely commercial organization, politi-
cll questions have never been introduced
into its management or deliberations up to
the present time. The undersigned re-
grct that some of our members are en-
deavoring to convey the impression that
our Exchange, as such, is in favor of 4
particular candidate for the presidency :;
and we desire to repudiate the idea that
our members rs a body have any uneasi-
ness as 20 any injurious effect upon our
business prosperity in the event of the
election of General Hancock. We warmly
advocate the election of General Hancock,
and at the same time discountenance the
introduction of politics upon the floor of
the Exchange"
1t is claimed by the gentleman who have
circulated these papers that the majority
of the members of the Exchange are Dem
ocrats, and it is a curious and creditab'e
fact that every president of the Exchange
for many years past has been member
of the Democratic party.

DIED AT 1O1.

Colonel Ben srownfield. Who Has Voted
Since 1900.
Colonel Ben Brownfield, aged one hum
dred and one years, six months and ten
days, died at his residence, two miles
south Of Uniontown, Pa, yesterday after
noon. He was the Oldest man in Fayette
county and leaves a large estate, the fruits
of his own indomitable energy, industry
and good management. In 1871. on his
birthday, March 28, he fell out of his farm
wagon on the public road and broke his
leg. As early as the Goth of July subse-
quent his mind and body were SO vigorous
that he went out to superintendent the re-
pairing and cleaning out of a coal mine
and while 50 engaged a portion Of earth
and timbers at the mouth Of the pit fell in
on him and broke two of his ribs. But
his wonderful vitality was not yet over
conc and his physician says he was ac-
tually going about the farm in less than
four weeks after the last accident happened.
He attended a polc-raising and was pres
ident of the meeting ON the 18th Of Sep
tember last. He made speech on taking
the chair and told his audience that he
had mingled with their grandfathers and
great-grandfathers that he voted for jeff
erson in 1900, never missed a presidential
election in his life, and hoped to live to
vote for General Hancock. The immetli-
ate cause of his death is not known

Restored to the Bar.
Northumberland Democrat.
In an exhaustive opinion by Chief JUS
tice Sharswood, the supreme court has re-
versed the order OF Judge Patterson, of
Lancaster, in disbarring Messrs. Steinman
and Hensel, attorneys, for contempt in a
criticism of that judge in the Lancaster In
TELLIGENCER, OF which they are the editors.
The opinion is very clear and thorough
exposition of the points involved. While
characterizing the publication of the two
lawyer-editors as being such as to expose
them to indictment for libel, Judge Shars-
wood is justly emphatic in his rebuke of
the summary and high-handed conduct of
the quarter sessions judge of Lancaster
and in vindicating the equal right and du-
ty of lawyer with other citizens to bring
to the notice Of the people, who elect their
judges, every instance of what he believes
to be corruption and partisanship.

The following pathetic telegram comes
to the Tribune to-day from the West {:
''W. H. Barnum passed through from New
York for indianapolis few days ago in a
through sleeping car, in which he had y
full section. He was accompanied by two
men occupying the opposite section, who
at first seemed to have nothing to tlo with
him and no acquaintance with him. It
turned out, however, that they were in
attendance as guards OH his personal bag
gage, Of which he had more than usual.
All kept carefully all the time in his sec
tion. A detective "spotted'' them in
New York and kept notes Of their move
ments. At no time between New York
and indianapolis was there = moment when
one of the three did not keep guard over
the baggage. At every meal one stood
guard while the others ate, and got moth
ing himself till one or the other relieved
him. One also sat up while the others
slept. The bags were so large that they
probably held enough small bills to buy a
great many mules.''

IT suits the malignant partisan pur-
poses of the New Era to charge that this
journal has done exactly what it and its
friends started to do and which it has
been forced to admit is utterly inexcus-
able and detestable, viz: To introduce
Bipartisan views into the purely business
relations of our everyday life " and to
seek . to influence public sentiment
against business interests for this rea-
son." 1t knows that it was against such
all attempt made by political hacks in
the name of business interests that the
INTELLIGENCER protested. But as we
have caught and convicted it and its ed

sentations and fabrications, the way

lT is reliably alleged by responsible
persons that 4 drunken Democrat, -
vino is well-known. seized the bride of
Col. McMellen's horse, on West King
street, last night, and tried to stop the
parade. FOolhardy and futile as the act
was it was a breach of the peace and the
prJier way to reach such an offense is a
prosecution of the offender. If that fails
to he done the responsibility for the fail
ure to enforce law and order rests with
those who know the offense and the Of
fender.
1t is also alleged that one, two or three
city policemen at the scene of the affray
refused to do their duty, and rather en-
couraged than sought to prevent riot.
If that is SO it is a matter which can
also be reached. Let those who know
or allege this to he true lay their charge
before the mayor, and we know he will
fully investigate it, and if any of his
force are ascertained to he such delin-
quents they will be punished without
fear, favor or affection, and without
any prostitution of his office to spare any
'best workers. in their wards.

A Note From Mr.. Emil Aust.
Prof. Emil Aust, whose two boys were
sent to the House uf Refuge yesterday by
order Of Judges Livingston and Patterson,
as stated in yesterdays INTELLIGENcEE,
makes the following rather startling state
ment, it having been said that the children
were sent to Philadelphia on his own per-
sonal application
Mr.. EDITOR Please bring this to the
knowledge of tho public, that the act
taking away my two boys to Philadelphia
was from the first to the last not done dc-
cording to my sciV and was not sworn to
any complaint against them to my knowl-
edge. O that very day was myself too
much troubled with my own law
case and the slip containing the
complaint I was ordered to sign by the
constable, which repeatedly refused to
do. 1t was this one hour before my hear
ing and Mr.. Eichholtz present said 'YOu
must not send them boys away if you
don't want it."
Besides this Mr.. Haas came to me, called
me out, and said he would tell me in con-
fdence that party of men had made out
the children should be taken far away
from me, SO that they should not see me at
all nor either should see them.
Yours,
