partner. No man will dig and delve
for you without pay as an incentive.
A boy who is expected to put in his
best efforts on the farm because the
law says his father is entitled to his
services will certainly disappoint you.
II his taste runs to trade Of profes-
sion the father must argue the matter
as reasonable man would. He has
no right to cucumber the earth with
another botch farmer. He has no
right to condemn his son to poverty
when be might be rich by his own
exertions. II he Is wise he will even
encourage the boy to follow out the
bent of his inclinations.
Nine times out Of ten where you
hear of farmers boy being set down
as a hard case you find his father
to blame for it. He has been too
harsh and arbitrary. He has gone on
the idea that his son was a drudge.
His idea has been to make money out
of his tired muscles and back-aches,
and give back the least possible re-
ward. All farmers are not so, but too
many still are, no matter how much
other classes have improved. The
results have been and will ever be
disastrous.
Too many sons have been drudged
and bossed and pounded until they
prefer the life of a vagrant. A good
share Of the vagrants arrested in ev-
cry city are farmers sons who left
home. Visit the police station any
evening and you will find one prisoner
at least out Of three reply to the cap
tain:
"Oh, I haven't got any trade or
occupation.I'd have had trade, but
father made me stick to the farm and
ran away. Guess I'm booked for
three months this time!"
There is hardly any combination
of circumstances to warrant a boy
running away from home, but it is
easy for father to drive his boy
away and make a bad man of him
1t is being done in almost every
county in the land every day.-M

The Republican Ticket.

When all is said and done, it must be
admitted that the Republican tickeT
this year is an almost ideal one. In the
first place, it balances the two great
sections of the countryside East and
West-and satisfies those patriots who
are swayed by mere considerations of
longitude and latitude. But far more
important than this question of locality
is the personnel Of the ticket. In Gen
eral Logan we have distinguished sol
dier, popular and admired at home and
abroad; man whose sword has done
his country true and valiant service in
the field, as his keen sagacity and subtle
wit have done her honor in the coun-
Gil chamber,
And then we have James G. Blaine,
for President; man whose figure has
lowered head and shoulders above con-.
temporary statesmen for years; man
whose commanding intellect has COM
PEELED the respect of his foes as his high
personal qualities have riveted the af-
lection of his friends, His nomination
was received with the most rapturous
and laundering applause, and when
heated cannons and parched throats re-
fused to testify longer to the popular
exultation, there went up a sigh OF re-
lief from the whole broad land. The
convention was over, and there was no
Dark Horse mo picayune politician to
be foisted upon the people; no un-
known knight, on the Republican side,
at least, was to tilt for the great prize
OF the Presidency. No; for once the
foremost man in the Nation had been
nominated for the foremost honor in
the gift of the people. No wonder the
! ticket excited enthusiasm; no wonder
Republican America went almost wild
with joy.
Blaine's nomination was a triumph
even greater than will be the more sub
stantial triumph of his election. In the
convention every possible combination
was arrayed against him, and arrayed
in vain. The cry Of his enemies was
"anything to beat Blaine, " and nothing
was found to beat him. Every device,
every tactic that desperation, mated
] with upscrupulousness, could produce,
was brought into play and brought in
vain The nomination Of james G,
Blaine was a signal triumph for popu-
lar choice and individual excellence
over political chicanery and collective
inferiority., The country is to be con,
graduated on the Republican ticket y y

Sober Thinking NeedRul.

Snow the first hurrah for Blaine is
over" say some of his opponents, "and
the people will have chance to think
soberly." The one thing most to be de-
sired is that the people should think
soberly and seriously of the questions
involved in the coming Presidential
campaign.
There are some who have given ear
to scandals that have no such support
as to be worthy of attention. When
they think soberly of the injustice of
crediting such accusations without evi-
dence, they will feel bound to review
the facts, to hear both sides, and to give
due weight to the verdict of the great
multitude of upright men who, having
known Mr. Blaine long and well, and
having full knowledge of both sides,
have repelled the slanders against him
as unworthy of belief.
There are some who have listened to
the British press of New York in its
Misrepresentation of Mr.. Blaine's for
eign policy. When these people think
soberly, they will find out what it was
that Mr.. Blaine really said and did.
Then they will ask themselves
whether, on the whole, it is damning
thing in an American statesman
to uphold the honor of this Nation
with dignity and courage, to make the
flag respected abroad, and to extend
the peaceful influence and the COM
merce of the United States to countries
now closed against us by British in
ffuence. 1t will then appear that most
of the people of this country want to
see the American flag flying over the
White House all the time.
There are some who have leaned
toward free trade and dislike Mr..
Blaine because he is an ardent advocate
of the protective policy. When they
think soberly, they will consider
whether, at this time, when industries
all over the world are greatly depressed,
and labor abroad is forced to choose
between starvation wages or no work
at all, it would be good thing to force
Americans into equal or closer competi-
ton with foreign labor. They will ask
whether the immediate effect of fur.
ther reduction OF duties would not bt
to close more factories and foundries
more shops, mills and mines, ant
whether that is the sort Of change tina
sensible men now desire.
There are some who doubt whetheI
the old issues are not dead, so that th,
Republican party can be safely foldet
up and put away on the shelf, as of nj
further use. When they think soberly
they will consider what spirit has beer
displayed by the Democratic party II
this day, and even by the Democratic
House, in regard to every one Of tn
questions raised by the civil war. Ther
they will reflect that it is not time, an
never will be, to have the Nation ruleC
by solid South, made solid by shot
! guns. .rg sna r,asis ass ~

which sober and serious thought is dc
sirable. 1t would be well to thin

RInine and the. Germans.

One Of the meanest falsehoods of the
campaign asserts that the Germans are
unfriendIy. to Mr.. Blaine, The ridicu-
lous assertion is made that as he comes
from, a Prohibition State, he must nee
essarily, be a eProhibitionist. Maine is
also a Republican, State, but it does not
follow that all its Republicans are Pro-
hibitionists. In fact, Mr.. Blaine is not
on record as to his views on the liquor
question. He has in his public career
devoted himself to the consideration Of
the rights of the citizen and of the State,
rather than to the passage Of sumptu-
ary laws.
Mr.. Blaine's intense earnestness in
asserting the rights Of Costello and 9th
er Irish American citizens, who were
imprisoned by the British authorities,
was triumph not only for Irish -Ameri-
cans but also for every naturalized citi-
zen Of German birth. 1t proved to
foreign rulers that papers of citizenship
issued in this country protected the
holders from arbitrary interference in
any land. The Germans. as much
as, or even more than, the Irish,
value the freedom of thought and
action that the land of their adoption
affords. So strong is their attachment
to free institutions that when they come
to the United States their allegiance is
naturally given to the Republican par.
ty, as the greatest political organiza-
ton of ffreemen on the face of the earth.
The Irish, for ten years past, have been
coming to the Republican party for the
same reason, as they have had their
eyes opened to the truth concerning its
principles, and as they have appreciated
the progression OF the Democratic
party.
German Blaine and Logan clubs are
being organized all over the land and
especially in Ohio. A great Blaine
ratification meeting was recently held
in Cincinnati by the German Republic
ans, who remember with pride his COR
dial welcome to the Won Steuben fami-
ly. In st. Louis the German Evening
Tribune publishes interviews with lead,
ing German citizens, including DR..
Starkloff, who has been three times the
highest officer in the great organization
of Turner's, in the United States. All
of these representative men cordially
Endorsed the Republican ticket. The
talk about bolt in the West is mere
nonsense. There is not a German paper
of any prominence in Ohio which does
mot support Blaine and Logan.
Democrats do not count on receiving
any large accession of German votes
this. fall, and are only seeking to mis-
lead the public and to stir up the
ill feeling of the German people. This
is too old q trick to be successfully
played on intelligent voters. 1t will
not work. The Democracy realizes thar
hundreds Of thousands of Irish and Ger
man Democrats, especially the old
soldier element among them, will vote
the Republican ticket this fall. The
campaign of b!uster and brag has been
begun to stem this tide, but it can not
be stopped. Education and progression
go hand in hand. American citizens
of foreign birth have been learning al
together too fast to lag behind in the
company of the Democracy. albany

"YouNG BILL ENGLISH" as they

Bill English, who will be remem-
bered as the very light tall to the
25o.pound Presidential ticket of four
years ago. Two years ago the PEG
pie of the Seventh Indiana District
reelected Peelle to Congress by a
small ms shortly. but last winter the
House .turned Mr.. Peelle cut and
elected Young English to the seat,
greatly to the disgust of everybody
who thinks it proper that in the re-
public the will of the majority
should prevail in matters Of this
kind. Now Young Bill announces
that his business interests demand
his entire time, hence he is COM
PEELED to decline q denomination.
The young mans shrewdness and
forethought are to be COM
mended. Some fellows would
have been so slow and stubborn
in the matter that the people would
have been under the necessity of
doing the declining for them. Eng
lish caves the convention and the
voters the trouble of declining FOL
him, by making his own declinatior
in advance. Whenever party il
Congress elects a man after The
voters have refused to do so, i
deceives itself and makes mistake
and the people are not slow to re
buke the blunder.
