Now is the time for the young men
of this country to choose the occupa-
ton of farmer, instead of going to
the over-croWded cities, and finding
only precarious employments. To
choose farming is to choose indepen-
dency; all other vocations are far
more subject to the fluctuations of
trade and pecuniary disaster. With
the almost marvellous Improvements in
agricultural machinery, the farmer is
relieved of the worst drudgery OF
farm life. Much of his business is
now that of an overseer; he directs
the operations of his labor-saving ma
chinery more effectually than the
Southern negro driver, with whip in
hand, directed his slaves. There is no
occupation which affords better adj
vantage for mental improvements and
the requirement of useful knowledge
than that OF the farmer, for the reason
his time is his own, while the time OF
vast majority of the jewellers in the
cities belongs not to themselves but to
others. The young farmers who are
now entering upon the active duties OF
their vocation, aided as they are by all
the helps of modern invention, are
destined to become the foremost citiz
ems of the State. If there is to be an
aristocracy of intelligence, the future
farmers will be of that class; if this
be not so, it will be because they dc
notseize the grand opportunities which
are now before them.

THE OUTGOING AND THE IN
COMING CONGRESS-.

The terms of the present members
of the House expire on the Sd of March.
Of the eight members from this state
only two were reelected last fall-P. V.
Deuster Oem.) Of the fourth district,
and Richard Guenther (Rep) of the
sixth district. The members not
elected are G. G. Williams, of the first;
G.. c. Hazelton, of the third; FL.
c. Humphrey, of the seventh; T. G.
Pound, Of the eighth; all republicans,
and E. S. Bragg, of the fifth district,
Dem. Since the election of 1882 there
has been new district added, making
nine in the state.
1t will not be claimed that the new
members elected are the equals in
point of talent and fitness of those who
have been retired. OF the members
going out of Office, three were chair
men Of important committees-Wil-
liams, chairman of committee on For
eign Affairs; Hazelton, chairman of
committee On Pacific Railroads; Pound,
chairman Of committee on Public
Lands. There are but forty-two stand
ing committees in the House of Rep
resentatives. from which 1t will be
seen that Wisconsin was honored with
more than its proportion Of committee
chairmen. OF the new members elect
ed last fall, not one Of them is likely to
be appointed chairman of any import
ant committee on the assembling of the
new Congress. The great political re-
volution last fall set aside long tried
men of acknowledged legislative abil-
ity, and rushed men into Office COM
paratively obscure in the state and ma
ton.

DISTINGUISHED LITERARY

1t is claimed, with probable correct
ness, that the most distinguished liter

are on the Republican side in politics.

WEALTH IN DAKOTA.

The removal of the capital from
Yankton to some other point in Dakota
Territory is agitated by the legis.

into notice, held a meeting and re-
solved that $250,00O and $40 acres of
land be donated to the territory of Da-
kota, on condition that the legislature
shall locate the capital at Watertown.
This sum was guaranteed by parties of
known responsibility, Only a short
time ago the existence of such place
as Watertown was unknown. The
land Office. of which Hon. c. G. Will
liams, member of Congress from this

A COMMENDABLE MOVEMENT

A few days ago company of clergy
men, to the number of one hundred
and fifty, from all the leading Protest
ant denominations in the city of Chi
cago with but one exception, assembled
at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and after
partaking of six o'clock dinner, pro-
ceeded to organize union, the object
being mutual counsel and concert of
action in making aggressive move
ments on the strong holds Of vice and
immortality, in suppressing the evils of
intemperance, deyising the best meth.
DDS for counteracting the insidious en-
croachments of skepticism and infdel-
ity, and in all things to raise higher
the standard of morality in the city.
Now narrow minded sectarians will
say, why the necessity for thisP Why
not let each denomination or individ-
ual church do all this work in it's own
way? The movement does not lessen
the obligation of Christian men and
women to labor in their respective
church organizations for the achieve
ment of the ends sought by the union.
But the truth is, there has been an inn
mense amount of moral and christian
effort lost by fragmentary labor; di.
vided movements, although having the
same end in view, always work to dis
advantage. Had the war for subduing
the southern rebellion been conducted
on the plan of the churches for COM
batting evil, the rebellion would have
been as unsubdued to-day as when at
its height. The motto, union is
strength" applies as forcibly to chris
tian effort as TO any other department
of human enterprise. The christian
church at large is divided into sects OF
different names, but the diversities OF
belief among the leading denomina-
tions do not affect the christian life,
and are too insignificant to Justify
standing aloof from each other. It is
surprising how little bands. organized
under different names, yet processing
to have the same great object in view,
should toll and struggle to build up
their own sect, as if that were the ulti-
matum of the christian religion. What
the interests of the world and human
ity demand to-day is the union of all
the moral and christian forces, march.
ing on in solid phalanx for the over
throw of every form of wickedness.
For all the purposes contemplated by
the union movements of the churches
in Chicago, it is Of course not intended
that UNCONVENTIONAL lines will be dis
surbed; the world is not yet prepared
for the millennium. All that is sought
for is cooperation and union of effort
in the moral and christian enterprises
of the day.

WOMEN AS SCHOOL COMMITS
STONERS.


The Racine Journal says a move
ment will be inaugurated in that city
for the appointment of lady school
commissioners. This is progress in
the right direction; it is not new and
untried experiment, but has been car
ried into practice in many cities.
There are substantial reasons why
ladies should serve in such capacity.
AS general rule, it will be found
women are more interested in the edu-
cation of children than men; they are
accustomed to watch with greater soli-
citude, the welfare of the schools than
the other sex. 1t is stated on good
authority that some of the most eff
Gent county superintendent of schools
in the state of Illinois are females.
Lady teachers in all our public schools
show themselves fitted for that voca-
ton; they adopt with readiness the
best methods of imparting instruction,
and comprehend the true interests Of
the schools. What possible objection
then can there be to their becoming
school officers? If there be anything
unwOmanly in the duties of a school
commissioner. then it applies equally
so to the occupation of a teacher

The inquiry is made, what has be-
come of the Historical Society,"" or
gained here few years ago? Have all
the incidents of historical interest been
gathered up and deposited in the ar
chives of the society, or are there still
old-time events of Importance unre-
corded and worth preserving? These
questions can probably be better an
swered by those who are still members,
or have been such. The enterprise
was laudable one, and ought not to
have been abandoned. 1t is hoped if
the society is still alive it will be heard
from and resume its labors.

THE FUTURE FARMER-GRANL
PROSPECTS, FOR YOUNG MEN

At no time in previous years has
the cultivation of the soil for so great
variety of purposes been so intelli-
gently directed as at present. For
more than a half century past there
has been scientific farming, so called,
but all developments in respect to
the capabilities of the soil for a wider
range of productions have been slow.
Take single case. Since the first
settlement of this country, it had
never been demonstrated until recent
ly that the soil and climate north Of
Mas0n's and Dixonis line" was
adapted to the production of kind
of cane from which sugar can be
manufactured proftably, and to an un.
limited extent. With the introduction
OF this new industry. science and ex-
pertinent will prove the adaptation of
the soil to other productions, which
Will be advantageous to the people in
these northern latitudes. The BUSH
ness OF farming is constantly widen.
ing and presenting new fields of en-
terprise. The various industries con-
nected with farming are a long list,
and constituting the substantial
sources of wealth Of this country.

HOW WOMEN VOTE IN ENG
LAND

AhA IL
A letter from Mrs. Caroline A. Brigg.
to the late Washington convention
says: Nobody doubts now that wo
men vote in large numbers. In Leices

very angry because the wife of con
sentative municipal candidate had
formed committee of ladies, and
worked so successfully among the wo.
men voters that her husband was elect.

Of bad moral character came forward
as a candidate. Mrs. Scatchard
went to the wire-pullers of the
election, and asked them to bring for.
ward better character. 1--WE cannot
carry him. they said, against the pub
lie house interest" "But you have
forgotten the women" she said. If
you will find man of good character
| will go and talk to the women elect
ors." They did so, and he was elected.
Woman's readiness to vote has been
shown in the School Board elections.
If women come forward as candidates
for the School Board, they are, with
rare exceptions, elected. Every wo-
man candidate in London was elected
one of them, Miss Miller, with more
than 1900 votes.
In Scotland, in every town where
there have been suffrage meetings or
education of this kind among the wo-
men, or where, from any other cause,
the election has been especially inter-
esting. good proportion of the wo-
men have voted. For instance, in one
contested ward in Edinburgh, 800 wo-
men voted. There were 1856 on the
register. The qualifications for men
and women are absolutely equal,
house-holdfng and rate-paying. and the
lists of voters are prepared beforehand
and exposed in some public place.

The report proceeds to say:

The total number of commitments
for vagrancy in the whole state for
that period were 3,258. That is about
ninety-two per cent. Of all the convic-
tions under the vagrancy act this year
were made in the above nine counties.
Add to this the fact that in thirty-five
counties, more than half the whole
number, there were no convictions
whatever for vagrancy, and as far as
we can learn no tramps, and it will be
seen that this nuisance IS confined to a
few counties, mostly in the southeast
ern part of the state.
