IT Is no less fatal error, says Ruskin
to dispise labor, when regulated by in
tellect, than to value work for its own
sake. ave are always, in these days,
trying to separate the two. We want
one man to be always thinking, and an
other to be ever working. We call one
a gentleman, and the other an operative;
whereas the workman ought to be think
ing, and the thinker working; and both
should be gentlemen in the best sense.
As 1t is, we make both ungentlemanly,
the one envying, and the other despis-
ing his brother; and the mass Of society
is made up OF thinkers and miserable
workers. Now, 1t is only by labor that
thought can be made healthy, and only
by thought that labor can be made
happy; and the professions then should
be liberal, and there should be less pride
felt in popularity of employment, and
more excellence of achievement"

COLONEL JOHN A. MARTIN, editor OF

also Secretary of the National Republi-
can committee, in reply to personal
reflection made against him by the
Kansas City Times, says: "As a rule,
the worst things the Republican party
ever did, as party, are better than the
best things the Democratic party ever
did as party. The general tendencies
Of the Republican party are always
right; the general tendencies of the
Democratic party are always wrong.
The Republican party can be depended
on, always, TO grow, to progress, to do
the best that can be done to promote
the interests Of the people and secure
for them wholesome laws and good gov
eminent. 1t has no Bourbon blood in
its veins. The Democratic party never
grows. 1t is incapable of progress. 1t
learns nothing, forgets nothing, and 1t
has been steadily beaten in every cam
