The Real Ruler Of Men.

"The pen is the only scePter which
is never broken. The only real mas
ter is he who controls the thoughts of
men. The maker of words Is master
of the thinker who only uses them.
In this domain he has no rival. He
stands at the fountainhead of thought,
science, civilization. He Is controller
of minds-to him all who talk, think,
write or print, pay ceaseless and in
voluntary tribute. In this sense,
Noah Webster is the all-shaping. all
controlling mind of this hemisphere
He grew up with his country, and
largely by his Spelling Book and
Dictionaries, he nodded the intel
lectual character Of her people. Not
a man has sprung from her soil, on
whom he has not laid his all-forming
hand. His principles OF language
have tinged every sentence that is
now, or will ever be uttered by an
American tongue. His genius has
presided over the language Of the
whole nation. II is universal, ON
nipotent, omnipresent. No man can
breathe the air of the continent and
escape it. The scepter which the
great photographer yields so IN
questionably, was most worthily
won. 1t was not inherited, il was
achieved. 1t cost life-struggle for an
honest, brave, unfaltering heart-a
clear, serene intellect. No propitious
accident favored his progress. The
victory Was won after a steady trial of
sixty years.

gether in the common cause Of carry

that when there Is union among the

CAREFUL tests in Wisconsin prove
that the corn of that section il almost
worthless for seed. The authorities
among the corn planters say that
they are afraid all the corn In the
same isothermal line is In the same
condition, and that the seed corn from
q warmer climate will not acclimate
properly. This cOrroborates the state
ment of well known miller, who was
interviewed by the journal q few
weeks ago. He said the corn of Hin.
OILS. Northern Indiana, Ohio and Wis
consin was absolutely valueless for
seeding purposes. and that Missouri
and Kansas corn would be in great de-
mand for seed. The indications are
that the corn of the section Of country
tributary to Kansas City will be more
valuable for this purpose than for the
regular commercial purposes. II the
states named will be compelled to
come to US for seed. il would double
the value Of every bushel, and II Ii

The Irish-American Convention
was called to order at Philadelphia
last Thursday, by Alexander Sullivan
Of Chicago, with ,l55 male and forty
female delegates in attendance. Con-
gresham NJ A. Forsmi. of Ohio, was
made permanent President. The
presentation Of strict rules of order
caused a little outbur-t, but they
were finally adopted A cable message
was received from Parnell, giving his
reasons for being absent from the
gathering, and plealing for prudence
and moderation, that the British Gov
ernment may find no reason for
crushing out the national movement
in Ireland. The convention adjourn
ed till the next day, after the an
nouncement of the usual committees.
Reassembling the following morning,
the convention adopted the orgauiza-
ton of the National Land League Of
Ireland, and passed resolutions max
ing fierce arrsignment of England's
rule In the Green Isle. They Endorsed
the Parnellite policy, and eschewed
any reference to dynamite rs a factor
in Irish politics. An attempt TO dis
cuss the resolutions in succession was
overwhelmingly defeated, though
Congressmen-elect Finerty entered a
vigorous protest. Sullivan, Of Chi
cago, was chosen President Of the
new organization Major Bryne, of
Cincinnati, Viee-President,a and Hynes
of Buffalo, Secretary. AT the closing,
Mrs. Parnell, who was elected Presi-
dent of the Ladies' League, made
short address, and, amid great en-
thusiasm, placed wreath Of laurel on
picture of Washington. The song,
"God save Ireland" was sung by
delegates and audience, and the con-
vention was declared adjourned sine
die.
