the spoils, then the Administration is
much the same as Rip Van Winkle said
about the whisky-it is better without it.
A cartoon in the last number of Puck puts
the question of civil-service reform better
than we have seen it put any where. 1t
represents Cleveland standing upon a
street-car platform, and John Kelly look
ing out and calling to him that it is
against the rules to stand upon
the platform. Cleveland retorts that he
thought the platform was made to stand
upon. Cleveland was sincere about the
platform, but the politicians are not. The
politicians have run the country for
great many years, but now the rule of the
people has begun, and it is the politicians
alone who are complaining about ad-
herence to civil-service reform. Ii there
was much dissatisfaction in Hamilton
county on account of the Presidents
course it came chiefly from the politicians
who have large force right under their
thumb there. The result of the Ohio
election is chiefly to be regretted because
it is an assurance that John Sherman
will be again sent to the Senate, and
John Sherman in the Senate means hos
tility to the Administration for hostility's
sake.

GOVERNOR HILL.

Governor Hill has written a letter of
acceptance. 1t is straig ghtforward and
manly, declares in favor of civil-service
reform, and civil-service reform as against
the spoils system is the issue of the day.
Very truthfully he says that "our oppo-
nents as party are opposed to the policy
and principles of President Cleveland.
The hands of the President will
be strengthened by the victory of his
party friends, and not by the success of
the enemies of his party" And yet only
a few days ago there was some idle Cos
sip about the President not desiring the
success of his party in New York. Prob
ably the most important thing in Gov
ernor Hills letter of acceptance is that
part which refers to the question of home
rule for large cities. No where in the
country has this question assumed such
Importance as in New York State. The
curse of New York City for many years
was the powerlessness of the city to con-
eiOi iUo ONu dudiiS, Gllc lledQQudTGeTS
for the control of the municipal affairs of
New York City having been at Albany
for many years, and Albany was in the
hands of corrupt ring. New York City
was in the hands of the Board of Alder
men, and the Board of Aldermen was in
the hands of Tammany, and Tammany
was in the hands of John Kelly. New
York City with her million and a quarter
of inhabitants and her millions of rev.
enue were in the hands of single man,
and that man not an exemplary one.
When President Cleveland was Governor
of New York he signed the bill which re-
leased New York City from the grip of
the Old Man Of the Sea, and Governor
Hill proposes to carry on the good work.
Success to Governor Hill and the Democ-
racy of New York. !

UNION PACIFIC COAL MINERS.


The Portland, O., News of the 18th inst.
says:
"Mormons have been placed in the Rock
springs mines In place of the Chinese
Amer1oans appear to be entirely ignored
when the question of bread-winning comes
up before monopolies."
Whether or not such is the case we do
not know, but if such it is, the explanation
is not far off. The reason why Mormons
have been employed to take the place of
the Chinese at Rock Springs instead of
Americans, is the fact that Mormons. as
rule, do not belong to any secret
labor associations, and are not under the
control of those who inaugurate strikes.
and assume to dictate and manage the
affairs of employers and employees. In
another column We publish an article on
the Rock Springs affair from the Denver
Nems. From that article it appears that
the Knights of Labor are to blame for
white miners being unemployed at Rock
Springs, and Chinese miners emploved
The men who boss the Knights of Labor
ordered the Union Pacific coal miners to
strike, and they struck That company
propose to run their own affairs in accord
ance with their own ideas, and those
ideas do not suit the commanders of the
Knights of Labor. The anti-Chinese
feeling ard agitation throughout the West
now are so intense that the presence of
any considerable number of Chinese in
coal mining districts is liable to lead to a
riot at any time. Coal mines must be
worked, and if coal miners who belong
to the knights of Labor are not permitted
to work when some board thousand or
two miles away orders them to cease
working. then coal miners who do not
belong to such tyrannical organizations
must be employed. The laborers who do
not belong to the Knights of Labor or
kindred organizations may very aptly be
termed the Protestants of labor, and the
Protestants have always been the cham
plons OF liberty as against organization

OHIO.

Ohio has gone Republican. Ohio has
always been doubtful State, with a lean
ing to Republicamsm. Much of the i'm
portance attaching 70 he way the Buck
eye State goes is owing to the fact that it
has always been an October State, and in
Presidential years it has ways decided
in October how i. wouta vote in Novem-
ber. Henceforth 1t wiz ce q November
State, and then the Ohio election will
have lost much of It's importance as indi-
eating which way the wind blows. The
result of Tuesdays election can really
have but little effect upon the sentiment
of the nation as regards the Admins
tration. In 1883 Hoadly was elected
Governor by majority of 1858 over
Judge Foraker, the succe ssful cam
didate of Tuesday last. That
was Gubernatorial year, while
1884 was Presidential year. In 1884
Ohio was for Blaine by majority of
81, 1902. There remain four counties to
hear from, and they may reduce For
aker's plurality or increase it, but let it
be assumed that it will remain as now
given, namely, 1885. Foraker's gain
over Hoadley is 7,066, while the vote for
Blaine in 1884 was gain of 1928 over
Hoadly's majority in 1888. From this it
will be seen that the Republican gain in
the Gubernatorial year of 1885 is not
nearly so great as in the Presidential year
OF 1884. So far rs the result of the Ohio
election being an endorsement or condem-
nation of the Administration, it is neither
one nor the other. Itcould not be expected
that the Republicans would endorse
Democratic Administration, and if there
has, been detection in the Democratic
ranks in Ohio on account of the policy of
the Administration, then such detection
is owing to the close adherence of the
Administration to the platform, and par
ticularly that part which referred to civil
service reform. Ii the Administration
can only have an endorsement by the
Democrats of Ohio, that is, the portion sup
posed to have been detected, only upon
the doctrine that to the victors belong

IeAaS is IOr texans, writes Ex-Governor
John Ireland. "Our descendants will be
elbowing each other into the seas in order tc
find standing room in the near future .
This curious and unexpected assertion OF
Native Americanism' is causing a great
deal of talk in the great Southwest.
A local Republican sheet fully endorses
all this, and with wise air says:
Heretofore America has been the home Of
the worlds migrating hosts; in few years
more the thought will expand into the be-
lief that America is for Americans"
When We think of what an American,
as defined by the sheet referred to, is,
the question naturally arises, What
kind of a country would America
be if it were inhabited by ''true
Americans?" America for the Amer.
leans is the cry of demagogue,
and is narrow and provincial beyond all
else. The cry of America for Americans
was once raised in this country, and so
wise and patriotic were those who shouted
it that they earned for themselves the
distinctive appellation of "Know Moth
ings." Plank three of the American
party declared:
americans must rule america; and to
this end ndtice-born should be selected for
all State, Federal, and municipal offices of
government employment, in preference to
all others. Nevertheless,
4. Persons born of American parents resid-
ing temporarily abroad should be entitled to
all the rights of native-born citizers.'
There is much wisdom in all this, about
as much wisdom in this as there is in the
article of the sheet referred to. 1t is
about as liberal and statesmanlike
as it would have been for the Pilgrim
Fathers to have said, plymouth Colony
for the Puritans;;" or for the colonists of
Maryland to have said, maryland for
the Catholics as for the Mormons to
say, utah for the Mormons." The
American party demanded a continued
residence of twenty-one years" for all
who desired to adopt America as their
home and become citizens thereof.
Texas for the Texans % america for
Americans" would soon come to be the
State for the State, the county for the
county, the city for the city, the ward for
the ward. until finally it would be Good
bless me and my wife, my son John and
his wife, us four and no more. Amen"
The writer of the article in the sheet re-
ferred to is an American of Americans,
one OF the bright stars in the ma
tons galaxy of great men, and he SAYS
"the thought of Governor Ireland is
only few yearsin advance OF public sem
tlment." Ii Governor Ireland's thought
is few years in advance of public sent-
ment, is not the man who can see this
fact also in advance of public sentimental a
few years? A man who is greatly in ad-
vance of his age is as much out of place
as one who is greatly behind his age. AS
the American party raised this same cry
of America for the Americans thirty
years ago, and failed to find favor or fol-
lowing among the people, it is safe to con-
clude that the thought of Governor Ire
land, and of those who think as he does,

ment

Farmers Clubs and Libraries.
American Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
Now that the busy season is last,
and that of comparative leisure has
arrived, it behooves farmersand their
families to devote special attention to
the acquisition of useful knowledge,
a matter which overshadOws nearly
all others in importance. "To i'm
prove the soil and the mind" has
long been popular adage, and eX-
presses an excellent sentiment; yet
we would reverse it, especially during
the season Of Information, and place
first mental improvement. While
summer is the time for cultivating
and improving the soil, winter is
emphatically the period for reading,
study, and discussion, and all engaged
in rural pursuits should take advan-
tage of its leisure to store their minds
with valuable information. There
are several organizations designed to
advance the physical and mental
welfare of ruralists, the most notable
of which are agricultural societies,
farmers clubs, and the grange. The
annual fairs of the former, when
properly managed, prove very useful,
for they furnish attractive and in
structive object lessons, and afford
favorable opportunities for the eXhi-
bition and comparison of choice and
improved products, animals, nipple
ments, and the like. But these fairs
come only once year, and are Of
comparatively briefduratiOn. People
who attend them are generally 50
absorbed with thenovelties exhibited,
and in caring for their own displays,
that if meetings are held for addresses
and discussions, they receive little or
no attention.
, The great desideratum in most
parts Ofthe country is, fully organized
! farmers clubs, with intelligent and
progressive members, and well
stocked libraries. The library feature
we regard as indispensable, and in
5 these times, when good books can be
obtained very cheaply through the
t mails, clubs in the most remote
: sections may be readily supplied. A

g moderate amount, secure good

Have a Home.

Have a home somewhere. Buy a
tract of land and own it. Buy with
full determination of keeping it and
surrounding yourself with those beau
ties found only on the farm. To be
the owner of a nice little home, poor
though it may be, is one Of the great
est earthly blessings man can enjoy.
He gathers about this little spot his
cows, horses, pigs and Chickens, and
by honest labor and what was once a
wild tract of land has now become a
lovely spot where such are want to
go. After you have spent your life
on this little farm, and your spirit is
called to its eternal home, you have
left the widow and little orphans a
little place on earth called home.

home," and you should think of this
and neglect the matter no longer.

How a Wife Should be Treated.

her be the recipient of his polite and

judgment respected in matters of
which sheis cOgnizant; in short, let
her only be loved, hOnOred, and cher
iShed, in fulfillment of the marriage
vow, and she will be to her husband,
and her children, and society, we'll

husbands love is to her tower and

therein, adversely will have lost its
sting. She may suffer, but sympathy
may dull the edge of her sorrow. A

How to Bear Trouble.

A philosopher advises every man
who has a heavy load of sorrow or
misfortune to carry, to devote an hour
every day to the study of some Ian
guage or art which in happieri days
would be agreeable to him, forcing
himself to do this until he takes an
actual interest in the new occupation.
The physician who was most success
full in his treatment of the insane in
France, always inquired, when a pa
tient afflicted with melancholy mania
was brought to him, whether the per-
son had, when in health, any special
taste, such as love of dogs, birds,
gardening or fishing, or passion for
any kind of game. If this was the
case, objects that would suggest the
favorite pursuit were brought before
him. "When l can get patient to
making flies, planting seeds or quar-
relling over chess, the victory is
won," he said. In all these remedies
for grief the motive is not to lessen
the sorrow, but to turn the brain from
incessant brOOding upon one subject,
We must remember that our mind is
affected in sorrow through the brain,
which is a physical organ as much as
the stomach, and is equally subject to
physical laws. Our first duty, when
a great grief Overtakes us, is submits
sion to God. But even the highest
spiritual eXaltatiOn does not hinder
damage to the material brain by the
engagement Of the blood vessels
produced by incessant dwelling on q
single theme. Every day we read o.
suicides of young people who are
overwhelmed with their first misfOr
tune in life, a disappointment in love
or Il failure at college. y manly strug
gle for submission, and after tina
some practical effort, such as thesC
which we have cited, would keel
them from the towards exit from
life.
