According to the Missouri Republican,
the judgment of agriculturists and hOr-
ticulurlsts in the vicinity is that the re-

been disastrous.

finds no such array OF dependent
officials, and when he is expected TO
facilitate arrangements by submitting
to do what everybody else IS doing. and
finds that neither tips nor obiurgations
are dreaded ur expected. The readi-
ness with which irenchmen form
qneu' on appropriate occasion has often
been mentioned as proof of the ma
tional intelligence and courtesy. In
America the traveller is always forming
queues: he finds himself constantly
obliged to fall in with some such spon-
taneous arrangement, the final cause of
which is the saving OF all the elaborate
personal machinery so easily provided
where labor is cheap. He frets and
fumes at the inferior qua 'iiy of the ac-
commodation provided. and is half
edited and half-scandalized by the good
nature of the habituated. The good
nature means, in fact, the habit of sub
hitting TO inconvenience caused by the
independence OF your interiors; it is the
quality develope I in bachelor in cham
bers who is bullied by slatternly laun-
dress and despi ed for his tameness by
the comfortable monarch of a domestic
estab ishment. We do not presume to
say how far this habit of remuneration
enters into the Indifference with which
Americans too often accept political
scandals and grievances. or the too easy
forgiveness which they extend to vari-
Gus evil-doers Neither do We ask how
far it is compensated by advantages to
the classes whose services are in de-
mand. We simply observe that the
hastv traveller often assigns some occult
working of democratic principles as the
cause of what is simply due 10 the scare
ity of labor. In country where the
raw material of social machinery is so
dear and SO apt TO disperse in o its con-
stituent atoms. one learns to accept the
alternative of doing without. and taking
deprivation as easily as one can, be-
cause no amount of seold ng will lead to
satisfactory results.-Pai-tldH Gozettc.

American Coed Nature.

One great aim of American life is
labor saving. Wherever thr mechan-
ism by which man 5 wants are t. be
supplied consists in part of human be-
ings, the trouble of getting it 10 work,
and c nsequently the advantage, of do
ing without, is en- ,rmously greater than
in England. In such cases. theref re,
submission becomes prudence, and sub
mission generates patience or good na-
ture. You cannot command so much
human machinery; and the consequent
C mpliance with the resulting incon-
yeniences is sometimes interpreted by
hasty persons as q result OF wicked
jealousy. Take. for example. tn Sc

being the object of personal attention;
and this illustrates the tyranny of a ma
jority and its hatred for individual pc
cularities. No such sentiment need be
inferred, Where everybody eats like

Politics aS 4 Business.

Young men who think of making poll
tics business should stop and consider.
The path to political preferment is
seemingly broad and smooth, but when
once entered upon, it proves long ant
tring and is SO full of obstacles. not
visible at the outset, that only the most
patient perseverance, and an uncommon
ambition can successfully overcome
them. II is easy enough TO get start
in the political arena. Genial manners
will soon win hosts of political friends
to the youth who brings his unbounded
enthusiasm along, and an average in
telligence will, without much effort,
secure him quite place in local poii-
tics. But this will not be sufficient for a
proud mind, and yet but very few
ever get beyond Very small is the
number of those whose superior in
tellect raises them above their fellows,
smaller Yet the number of those whs
find public recognition profitable enough
to enrich them. MANY a man who started
out with hopeful heart and under
promising auspices has passed through
politics TO poverty and obscurity. A
lew men get rich in public life. but they
are only few. The prizes are as rare as
those in the Havana lottery, and much
harder TO keep after they are drawn.
In every town and community there are
men eagerly contending with ea-h
other for whatever of value there is TO
be gained in the political field. The
young man dis osed TO work faithfully
and diligently will find the struggle
much less severe and honorable success
much more certa II in the circle of basi-
ness. And he certainly will be more
independent. He does not need to bow
to those who think themselves superior
TO him. but are not; he has not to endure
the familiarity of every loafer. but can
choose his companions for their worth
and not because of their ROVER at any
primary. He can shut his door and re-
tire when he needs rest. Whatever he
earns is his own. The professional
beggars. who consider politicians TO lie
their legitimate prey. have no clam on
him. His peace of mind does not de-
pend upon the outcome of an election or
the vote of precinct. nor his pros 3erity
on the goo will OF others.
The country is cursed with profes ion
al politicians. and they inIure them
selveseven more than they do the public.
Every American citizen should be some
what OF a politician, but not try To
make q living out of the questionable
profession. The young man is W Sc
who does not run after political honors.
but waits till they come to him. Barlitlg-
