peating the axiom.
Moreover, as the American Pottery
and Glassware Journal says, waste
and extravaganza have been the
bane of our times. Owing to these
multitudes have become bankrupt,
and because Of them many are to-day
unable to make any Roadway in the
world. In the face Of all the lessons
of the past and Of all the warnings Of
the present, there is strong dispo,
sition to spend money recklessly in
dress, eqnipages, entertainments, and
innumerable useless ways. Strip
ping boys and young misses think
nothing Of deyoting more every
month to dress than clothed their
fathers and mothers for a year; and
yet they appear to no better adyan-
tage in society and are no more re-
spected than were these same pa
rents in their youthful days. Every
cent they can make for themselves or
wiring from parents or friends is dis
posed Of without any thought Of the
bad habits they are cultiyating, Of
the demands Of sickness and old age,
or Of the possible crimes TO which
they may expose themselves in the
hour Of temptation to meet the re-
suits of thei: OUTLAWS.
The great difference between those
who save and those who do not in the
struggle Of life, consists not so much
in early advantages or superior abil-
ity, other things being equal, as in
the power to resist waSteful expendi.
ture and sinful indulgence and TO
save something.
One evening lately, Hon. William
e. Dodge, of New York, delivered an
address embodying his recollections
of New York for the last sixty years.
Near the close he uttered these words,
which should be carefully weighed
by every young man and woman:
"ln conclusion, permit me to say
that, as think Of my early business
life, ! am impressed with the fact
that those young men who were
then known as industrious, high.
minded youths, conscientious in the
discharge of their duties, were those
who succeeded in business on their
own account; while many who had
better opportunities failed, because
they would indulge in pleasures
which not only impaired confidence,
but wasted what might have aided
them in commencing for themselves.
All young men should aim to save
something each year, even at the
expense of q limited wardrobe and
many little things which they think
necessities. If there were none but
young men here, l would say that
from the first year when I entered a
store, with salary of fifty dollars, to
my last year-when as a salesman
received for those days very large
pay-I never failed to save portion;
and when | started in business that
sum and my experience were all my
capital"

turnips. The elephants are great
cabbage eaters, in addition to their
standard diet, hay. The girafes,
singularly enough, are great onion
eaters, while the deer and goats, and
animals of the COW species, eat car

The American Press.

Senator David Davis, of ILL.,, lately
said in the United States Senate:
The press is one of the wonders at.
tending the growth of our institu-
tions. In the history Of the human
race there is nothing comparable to
this development. 1t is not only the
bulwark of liberty, but it is the
mighty popular instructor, more be.
neficent and wide reaching than any
other agency but the Christian re-
igion, of which it is one ofthe main
props. Complaint is made that this
power is sometimes abused, and that
we in public life are too often censo-
rlously criticised, 1t will be a sad
clay for the republic when criticism
upon the acts and the speech of SEN
ators and Representatives, shall be
eurbcd, and u still sadder day when
those acts and that speech cannot in.
vite the sternest criticism. What
food is to the body the press is to the
mind. 1t has become daily neces.
sity and nourishment, FROM the pal
ace OF the money king to the cabin of
the pioneer Of the plains. whose brain
and muscle are integral parts of the
empire Of the West.

TWO COUNTY CONTRIBUTIONS IN ONE


TWO COUNTY CONVENTIONS IN ONE
DAY
We published last week the call for a
Mass County Convention to send dele
gates to the Heron Lake Peoples Con-
vention. That Convention met on Sat
urday last and we give report Of the
proceedings elsewhere.
The resolutions express the sense of
the convention in terms sufficiently ex-
plicit to be understood. They declare
for political reform, against railroad,
land and other monopoly, and in favor
Of equitable taxation. But the secret
"f this uprising Of the people and of the
nomination of an independent candi-
date for the Legislature was just ht r.: 1t
las been ciaimed for years that the rail-
road land company regularly selects
the Representative from this district,
and that it also frequently selects coun-
ty officers where it has Il specific pur-
pose to gain it, some county. 1t was
charged when Mr.. Kniss ran before that
terest. It is so charged again, and the
fact that il prominent agent of the COM
pany secured instructions from tie No.
bles County Republican Convention in
favor of Mr.. Kniss, has been frequently
urged since the convention rs one of
the proofs.
At all events AL independent candi-
date for the Legislature has been nomi-
mated and mainly upon that issue.
1t will be seen hy the report given
elsewhere that Immediately upon tile
adjournment of the Mass Convention,
it re-assembled us in independent Coun.
ty Convention and nominated an indie.
pendent County ticket.
The matter Of nominating a County
ticket called out some lively remarks.
County Attorney Rolrer took occasion
to declare himself with the movement
and paid lis addresses to Commission
er Crosby in 4 way that gentlemen
would despise." lie 81 d that he knew
why Crosby had selected Miles Birkctt
as the candidate for the Third District
and what the scheme was.
The editor of the ADVANCE being
called upon, ''rose to explain" that for
once lie agreed heartily with Attorney
Rohrer, and said there as he says now,
that the selectio of Mr.. Birkett is e.
quivalent to selecting \. NJ. Crosby for
the Third District also, and the afore-
said editor there and then repeated right
oat in ''meetin'" what lie has said pri-
v;.tely in the columns of the ADVANCE,
that Mr.. Crosby has led the Board into
a number Of acts which are contrary to
law in order to favor his friends and
Punish his enemies.
The county ticket selected is on the
whole an excellent one. Mr.. Nelson.
the candidate for County Attorney, is Il
rising yo"ng lawyer. Il graduate Of a
law college. a man of irreproachable
character and an able speaker. He is a
Republican but believes in being inde-
pendent.
Mr.. Berreau, the candidate for Coun-
ty Surveyor, is also Republican and
is we'll known to the people of the corn-
ty as man of excellent character. lie
is u thoroughly competent surveyor,
having been connected with the rail
road survey before locating in this part
Of the State. lie was one Of the first
settlers in the county and needs no furtl,-
er introduction to the people.
