storing water. All are right Still I
have a cistern which has done good
service for about twenty years, yet does
not fill any of their stated requirements.

Mr.. Blaine as a Reforiner.

rhe contrast between Mr.. Blaine as
a politician in Office and Mr.. Blaine as
a politician in pursuit of an Office is
nowhere more striking than in his atti-
tude toward the re.orm in, the civil
service. A persistent patronage-monge
during the whole of his public career,
without q word in any public utteranc
in favor of the principle and methods OF
the reform system. he has the hardihood
to take his place as complaeently on the
reform platform as though had always
belonged there. '3s "a pts's y"
The TWO incidents in Mr.. Blaine's
career to which he refers as showing
reform sympathies are his selection Of
West Point cadets through competi-
tive examination. and his omission to
cause a removal of the office-hoiders IN
his district after his election to Con-.
oress. With regard to the first, it may
be said, without attributing good ac-
tons to bad motives, that, in opening
the cadetship to competition, Mr.. Blaine
avoided the necessity of deciding be-
tween the friends of rival candidates,
ard thus escaped making zone migrate
and nine enemies by his choice. In
refraining from urging removals, Mr..
Blaine was equally prudent The Office
holders of his district were presumably
all Republicans when he entered Con-
gress- Otherwise they would, NO
doubt, have been quickly called upon
to walk the plank. But to turn out
Republicans who had but recently been
appointed would have stirred up feel
ing which the adroit young politician
was too smart to array against himself.
The doctrine that ITO the victors belong
the spoils" had not then come to be APP
piled by the members of the majority
faction in the Republican party to the
less fortunate members of the minority.
But when a vacancy occurred. or term
expired, the future boss of Maine. took
precious good care to get his share of
the appointments. And throughout his
career as a leader and manager of his
party In Maine there has been no more
absolute political oligsrchy in the United
States than that established by the pres
ent Republican candidate for the Presi-
.denoy, who writes such glib phrases for
reform. Alike in Federal appointments
and State nominations, no Republican
who has dared to assert his independ-
ence of the Blaine machine. or to strike
ont for himself with never SO hon
orable an amoition. has stood any

who wish to see the dignity Of American

The s.intense Americanism' which is
said to characterize Mr.. Blaine should
have had full scope tn show itself in
the case of the American suspects.
Those who believe that that American
ism is the salt of the Nation have been
loud in their denunciations of Minister
Lowell. But he was not half as much
to blame in that, disgraeeful affair as
was Blaine, Secretary. .sa4 - .4t.
When American citizens were thrown
into Jail under the Coercion act, Min
Z lister Lowell, in letter to Consul
Brooks. declinedto interfere or to lift .
finger in behalf OF. the American citizens
who were, outrageously deprived of
their liberties. But, he added: I'm
less Tam instructed to the contrary by

This is the matter in q nutshell; Min
lister Lowell was only the agent of the
Department of State, and one word
from its head, who was at that time
irving to run not only the United States,
but the South American Republics also,
would have changed the whole affair.

In these days of hard competition
from increasing skill. brains as well as
muscle are re luired to make any line OF
farming successful. Both are needed,
but brains are the more important. 1t
is brains that make man better
farmer than his jackass, which has five
times the strength of his master. While
n farmer should not he afraid or neglect
full OF work. he should not so exhaust
himself with manual labor as to have no
energy left to give force to his brain.
Too many do this. IL would be- better
for them to work less and think more;
and make larger drafts on the lower
animals for muscular power. In farm
