These suggestions are not Quixotic.
Some efficient ways must be found to
eliminate the surplus from the Treasu.
ry. The fact that President Arthur sits
with his hand upon the keys of locked
chest containing hundreds of millions
OF dollars while a free and progressive
people are anxious to 'extendu and
develop" the country is something
which no advanced" statesman should
endure. Ii, even after the foreging sug-
gesslons. there should be any barrenness
OF ideas among the republican Congress-
men VINO have charge of the appropria-
tlons as to methods for the disbursement
OF this fund, it might be we'll to adver.
tise for proposals. We have probably
the most Ingenious population in the
world, fertile in expedients, suggestions.
ideas, and commission could be an
pointed to ask for plans how best to get
rid OF a hundred and fifty million dol
lars year. A report from such a com.
mission would be an.additlon to our po-
llt1cal literature of picturesque and
encnantlng oharacter-almost as pic
turesque and enchanting as anything q
tariff commission could present.
Meanwhile, however, the people
themselves are beginning to show live
1y symptoms of determination to be
heard in behalf of the plan of oeasing to
contribute these hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars yearly for jobs. The fact
that for the first time since q date that
reaches back, we believe, before the civil
war, a public meeting has been called.i in
the city of New York this week to de-
mand revenue reform by an instant re-
duction of the tariff taxes is a sign of
what is impending in reference to this
years political canvass.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1882-04-18

stand in the way of needed reforms
Besides, with sober population, not
wasting their earnings, I shall know
where to obtain the revenue"
If we had the hundreds of millions,
worse than thrown away for liquor, to
expend upon education and public i'm
provements, our country would enter
upon a career of unexampled progress.
Not only would our wealth be great,
but, what is far more important, it
would be diffused, and not, as now, in
the hands of a few persons. People who
call attention to the fine buildings which
the liquor traffic has erected, forget that
it is the poor mans pence that does it.
Fine buildings, palaces, and pyramids
are the growth of despotism. And
there is no tyrant like whiskey. Seven
hundred million dollars worth ofliuuors
are manufactured in this country every
year, but only q per cent. of this goes
as wages to the laborers engaged. Now,
let this capital be transferred to the vari-
GUS branches of useful industry which
pay from 80 to 80 per cent. to the labor
ers, giving them this 400 instead of Is
millions, and the masses will no longer
be impoverished, while the few are roll
ing in wealth. The curse of our land,
in business point of view, is concen-
tration of money. What we need is
that diffusion of 1t among the laboring
classes, which has ever been the dream
OF the highest statemenship, but which
can never be realized until the people
are not only free from oppression, but
free from vice.

A Chapter on Etiquette

Engage in arguments with every per.
son you meet.
Never listen to other people, for if you
DO you may forget what to say yourself.
Always talk of your private, personal
and family matters while conversine
with strangers. They like to listen to
long accounts of how you had the rheus
matism.
If you are professional man, always
discuss professional matters in the pres
ence of professionals.
If a person makes mistake in gram.
mar, or calls word wrong, always cor
rect him, especially If there be several
persons around to hear you.
If man has glass eye, wooden leg,
or wig, refer to it.
Never talk in a mild, gentle, musical
voice, but toot up high and loud. Drown
other peoples voices if you can't drown
their ideas.
When'a man is talking, let your eyes
and mind wander about the room, and
when he gets through ask him to repeat
what he said again.
If with stranger always use profane
and vulgar words. You will be aston
ished how it will change his estimation
of you.
Insist on talking about subjects that
the rest of the company know nothing
about. IF you can't find q foreign sub
ject like Europe or what you did in col
Iege, pick out the prettiest girl in that
room aud whisper to her.
Always make fun of the locality in
which you are staying. If you can't dc
that, ridicule and abuse some of the lead
ing citizens. A son or daughter may be
present and they will like to hear you
ridicule their father.

Moral Courage.

Have the courage to discharge a debt
while you have the money in your
pocket. To do without that which you
do not need, however much you may
admire it. To speak your mind when
it is necessary that you should do SO,
and to hold your tongue when it is better
that you should be silent. To speak to
a poor friend in threadbare coat, even
in the street, and when a rich one is
nigh. The effort is less than many take
it to be, and the act is worthy king
To face difficulty, lest it should kick
you harder than you bargain for. Diff
fieulties, like thieves, often disappear at
a glance. To leave convivial party at
proper hour for so doing, however
great the sacrifices, and to stay away
from one upon the slightest grounds for
objection, however great the temptation
to go. To dance with ugly people, if
you dance at all; and to decline dane.
ing if you dislike the performance, OF
ca4not accomplish it to your satisfae.
ton. To tell man why you will not
lend him money; he will respect you
more than if you tell him you cannot.
To cut the most agreeable acquaintance
you possesa, when he convinces you
that he lacks principle. IA friend
SHOULD bear with friends inf1rmities,' u
not his vices. To wear your old gar
ments till you can pay for new ones
To pass the bottle without filing your
glass, when you have reasons for so do
ing; and to laugh at those who urge you
to the contrary. To wear thick boots in
the winter, and to insist upon your wife
and daughters doing the like. To de.
Icline playing at cards for money, when
"money is an object" or to cease play
ing, when your losses amount to as
much as you can afford to lose. Lastly
have the courage to prefer propriety tc
fashion; one is but the abuse of the
other.

SALT AsA FERTILIZER.-TheM Massa-
chusetts Agricultural Society is said to
have arrived at the following conclu-
sions in regard to the manurial value of
salt, "That salt has the property Of
fastening the maturing of all grain
crops that wheat on salted land will
ripen six to ten days earlier than on un~
salted land, all other conditions being
equal that it increases the yield from
twenty-five to fifty per cent; that it
stiffens the straw, and prevents rust and
smut; that it checks, if 1t does not en-
tirely prevent, the ravages of the chinch
bug, and that there is no danger of q
mans pocket permitting him to put too
much salt upon his land, as two barrels
per acre will injure no grain crop. The
best time to sow salt is the spring, and
it ought to be the first thing done on
either fall or spring plowing, as all af-
ter-stirring of the land assists in its
equal distribution through the soil. The
best and easiest method of sowing salt,
in the absence of a machine for that
purpose, is to SOW it from out of the rear
end of a wagon, the sower using both
hands while the team is moving at slow
walk. In this was thirty or forty acres
can be sowed in one day. The quantity
used may be from $50 to 300 pounds per
acre, but the larger quantity the bet
ter"

ID o Mt FELL MY WIFE.-A we'll
known judge in one of the Southern
States, speaking of his younger days,
says that some seventy years ago he had
become skeptical, and that Mr.. H., o
noble, whole-souled man, whom he
revered almost as father, but who was
a confirmed Deist, though he had a
Christian wife, soon found this out and
endeavored to instill into him his own
deistical notions. "But he charged
me-" says the judge, ''not to let his wife
know that he was Deist or that was
skeptical"
/ asked him why. To which he re-
piled that If he was to marry hundred
tines he would marry only pious wO-
men.
Again I asked why.
Because" he said she is q Christian
it makes her better wife, a better moth.
er, a better mistress, and ncighbor.
If she is poor it enables her to bear ad-
versity with patience and fortitude. If
she is rich and prosperous it lessons her
desires for mere show. And when she
comes to die, if she is in error, she is as
| we'll off as you and L; and if we are in
than we can be-"
S.ohCu A1ll IL uo hueW Ol any OtueT
error, or system of errors, attended with
so many advantages. But what he said
led me to examine the subject for my
| self. And often look back to that
conversation rs one of the most import
ant incident of my life, and to it
trace my determination to study the
Bible carefully and to examine the evil
dsnces of Christian religion for myself,
the result of which has led to full and
| living faith in the Saviour.

WORK BOYs.-Non't be afraid of kill.
ing yourself with overwork, son. Men
seldom work SO hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die some
times, but it is because they quit work
at six P. M, and don't get home until
two A. M. 1t is the intervals that kill,
my son. The work gives you a perfect
appetite for your meals-lends solidity
to your slumber; it gives you perfect
and grateful appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not work,
my son young men who can make a
living by sucking the end of a cane, and
who can tie necktie in eleven differ
ent knots and never ley q wrinkle in 1t,
who can spend more money in day
than you can earn in long month; and
who will go to the sheriff to buy pos
tai card, and apply at the office of the
street commissioner for marriage IL
cense. So find out what you want to
be, and do, son, and take off your coat
aud make success in the world. The
busief you are the less evil you will be
apt to get into; the sweeter will be your
sleep, and the brighter and happier
your holiday and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.

State Legislatures "instruct their sem
ators in Congress and request their rep
resentatives" when they want anything
done. This arises from the fact that the
senators are sent by their Legislatures
direct to represent the State, while the
representatives are elected by the people
and represent the people. But our mod
ern Mahoneite legislators have reversed
the order of things, and now instead of
a Virginia senator instructing Mr.. Ma
hone, he goes to Mr.. Malone for in
struction. Has the world been turned
topsy turvy, or is it only the Legisla-
ture Of Virginia that is standing on its
head. Rich. State,
