Dixon will not be able to attend the
Republican National Convention, to
which he was elected as a delegate,
and his vote will be represented by
Captain Palmer, of Carlin, who is his
alternate. Business matters which
have arisen since the State Convention
require his presence here and oblige
him to forego the pleasure OF his

Right Aims in Life.
direction

In educating our boys and girls
every influence ought to be used to
cause them to aim not so much to be
great as to be useful. Great statesmen
and warriors are mostly held up as
exemplars for their emulation. We
do not believe that the elevating Of
such models to the gaze of the young
for imitation is productive of the best
results. If models are to be present
ed at all, it would seem to us to be
best to explore the fields philosophy
and genius, and hold up such as have
blessed mankind with useful inven-
tons and mechanical appliances
But there is better way yet Of de-
veloping and ennobling the young,
and that is to lead each boy and girl
to search diligently for his or her
capability, and to develop it, what
ever it may be, in all earnestness and
faithfulness. Such education is en-
nobling and full of hope and promise.
It brings happiness too, for every one
is happiest when he is engaged in
that which he knows he can do well
and best. And then again it blesses
mankind, for it is that man alone
who is in his right place, and does
his work thoroughly, who adds to
the wealth of the world and the com.
fort and well being of society. 1t is
not the noise and glitter that men
cause in the world that makes them
great, but the good that they d.
False ideas of greatness often lead
our youth astray, and those whose
duty it is to inspire in them proper
aims in life are sometimes too indif.
ferent to their influence and respon-
sibilities. Let the young be taught
that it is better to be good and USE
full, however humble, than what the
world often enormously calls great,
however elevated.

A New Department.

The question of making another
department-the Department of Ag-
ricultnre-has from time to time been
agitated at Washington. This season
it takes on a more decided shape
than ever before and it is well
known that some of the committees
having it under consideration are
strongly in favor of it. There seems
to be force in the reasons they are.
Agriculture is the main spring of
our prosperity. To foster it and
properly protect it from the multi
tude of industries that pray upon it,
will require the utmost ingenuity of
our best thinkers. The multitude
of the work requires that it should
be shaped into a department. Again,
agriculture being the chief and most
important industry in the United
States and being from the very nature
of it the worst organized, is more
open to the capacity of sharpers and
spectators. Sometimes by making
what they call a fcorner" in wheat
or corn or cotton, they throw in the
pockets of some half a dozen rich
men the profits Of one whole year and
send thousands to the poor house,
the penitentiary and the insane asy'
1um. Anything, therefore, which
tends to unity and to magnify this
all important interest and industry
will promote the welfare and pros
perity of ous whole people. Any
thing which tends to dignity labor
and especially labor of this kind
which is the greatest safeguard t.
our institutions-and organizes it
interests into department, ought t.
! be pressed forward with energy anc
zeal, for it is progress in the RICH
direction.

EDITOR OF BossIER BANNER-Dear
Sir: VIII you be so kind and favor
able to an old poor Mexican soldier
as to publish his statement: I beg,
briefly, to remind members of Con-
gress that the House committee on
Pensions, in 1878, (see Report No. 81,
of 45th Congress, I'd SESSION. found
that 800 soldiers of the Mexican
war were then living. The previous
year, 1877, the House, by unanimous
vote, decided that all survivors were
entitled to So per month, for balance
of their lives, or existence. In 1879,
the Senate, by vote of SO to %, de-
cided that all who were living on
March 9th, 1879 were so entitled
We ask now, that pensions shall date
from March 9th, 1878, for all soldiers
and sailors who were living at that time
and for the widows of those who have
since died. We dc not claim pensions
for soldiers who died previous to that
date, or for widows whose husbands
died previous to that date. A widow
could not claim what her husband did
not own or possess. ALI the clatter
about twenty or thirty thousand
widows in our bill is, therefore, mere
bosh. If 500 men, who claim to be
Justly entitled to pensions by previous
actions of Congress, had all since
died, the aggregate of pensions would
not have been increased; if thew all
had been married, no more than $500
widows could represent them on PEN
sion roll. The Mexican war veterans
have been juggled out OF their proper
dues by an array of incomprehensible
calculation issued by the Pension
Office workers-worked by some
chuckle-head on a beggarly salary
and endorsed by lazy officials without

PauperIsm and Crime.

The relation ofpauperism to crime
has been for some time subject of
discussion in some of the reviews
and newspapers, and they make out
a pretty clear case, too. They have
been collecting statistics and by
them they make it appear beyond
question that crime is in direct pro
portion to the amount of ahject and
thriftless poverty-the poverty that
springs not from inability and mis-
fortune, but from idleness and bad
habits. OF the number of criminals
examined of all natiOnalities the
proportion of those who had trade
or profession by which they could
make an honorable living was very
small. Nay, more than that, if after
contention they succeeded in learn
ing a trade or other competent occu-
patton, the chances were ten to one
that they would not return to their
habits of vice and crime. Thus it
is seen by actual statistics that the
best safeguard to the peace as well
as prosperity of the community, is a
plenty of paying employment.
1t was at one time thought that
education, 10 the general sense of
the word, that is book learning, was
the best protection; but this idea
has been exploded; and while its
effects ought not to be moderated
because it is of almost infinite ad-
vantage, yet it does not by itself
bear comparison with a competent
knowledge of some paying trade or
profession. 1t is an old truth, and
indeed, no new demonstration is
necessary to prove it, but attention
ought to be constantly called to it
that labor, honest labor, is the best
civil safeguard to virtue, to peace
and to prosperity.

There ought to be an increase of
productive pursuits-a multiplication
of occupations which increases the
actual value of our native products
which alone constitutes real and per-
manent wealth. We need occupations
which change the nature of our varied
productions and thereby add value
1t is not the handling and rehandling
and putting an additional price that
makes us really richer; but when a
new value is given an article by skill
or labor, then something has been
added to the wealth of the community
as well as to the possessor. Articles
land even money may change and
keep changing hands all the while,
and with every change another price
may be added, but no real additional
value has been brought into the
world. But if instead of wood and
iron worth SO we have vehicle
worth $75; or if instead of cotton
worth s cents per pound we have
cloth worth 80 cents. Then our &C.
tual value has been added and oul
possessions have been increased By
SO much.
