BOYS ON THE FARM.
The Kind of Home Life Likely to Attach
Farmers Sons to the Soil.

The Kind of Home Life Likely to Attach
Farmers Sons to the Soil.
In the treating of the home life OF
the farm, nothing is more common than
the complaint that the best and bright
est of the youth manifest an unwilling
ness to follow the occupation of their
fathers, and go off to swell the popula-
ton of the towns and cities. Probably
his tendency has been exaggerated for
we are sure the young farmers of to-
day are as intelligent and progressive
in their views as any generation past
But this could not be if it were true, as
represented, that the best element had
gone to the towns. The statement has
sufficient warrant, nevertheless, to
merit serious consideration.
The question is, whether in the sur
roundings and appointments of farm
life sufficient allowance is made for the
natural wants and tendencies of the
young. Is there sufficient pains taken
to render the surroundings attractive,
and to furnish reasonable amount of
that diversion from regular pursuits
which the youthful nature demands?
No doubt very many are led away
from the quiet walks of country life by
an unhealthy craving for change and
excitement, stimulated in many cases
by pernicious reading and rose-colored
descriptions of town-life. Others with
better reasons have been impelled to
abandon the occupation of their fathers
by that system of drudgery and dull
routine too often in practice on the
farm, and under which young, sprightly
and elastic spirits feel that they are I'M
necessarily repressed and circumscribed
Without going over ground on this sub
ject that has been repeatedly traversed
by others, we may say that in order to
keep the boys on the farm, everything
should be done within reasonable limits,
that means and circumstances will per.
init, to cause them to feel and believe
that the pursuit of agriculture is as
honorable and ennobling as any they
may choose; that it offers as many
opportunities as any other for the cult.
walton of mind and heart, and for the
development of the best and noblest
tendencies of their natures. They should
be made to feel that, if they so desire,
they may keep abreast of the times and
be up with the world" in the best
sense of the phrase, even though they
live outside the busy haunts of men.
They should be led to look upon agri-
culture not as a pursuit governed by
chance laws, where there is no oppor-
tunity for introducing new methods,
and systems, for research, experiment
and progress, but that no department
of human effort to-day offers wider
and more promising field for careful
study and research than that of agri-
culture. Let them learn also that with
less means than would be required in
the cities they may have tasteful and
convenient homes, and live to as high
and useful purposes as they may in any
place on earth.-M y Observer.

The prohibitionists, Platform.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 25.-The State
Prohibitionists assembled in convention
this morning. There are over three hun
dred delegates present. l.. A. Stevens
was chosen permanent chairman. Ex-
Governor st. John was brought in amid
much applause, and made a brief speech.
The committee on resolutions reported
a platform advocating in general prohibi-
ton, the importation, manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors for the pur-
pose OF use as a beverage; that, failing to
procure redress for the wrongs inflicted
from its evil by petition to the legislature
through either party, the Prohibition
party had been organized to right it at the
ballot box; that no vote shall be cast for
any man who does not stand upon their
platform; that they endorse the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and CON
grltulate them upon the success attained
in the legislature last winter; that quail
ication for national and state officers
should be based upon proved capacity and
iaithfulness, not on party consideration;
that civil service reform is favored in its
extension and application to all purely ad-
illustrative and clerical positions; that
that the "spoils system must be elm
mated from political contests; full
protection to every voter should
be secured, and disfranchisement be the
penalty to all who in any way corrupt or
interrupt the ballot; that the Sabbath day
should be protected from PROCLAMATION by
secular pursuits and pleasures; labor and
capital should be such as to secure equal
protection to both. The platform also
contains the following: That the Republi-
can and Democratic parties in their fail
ure to carry out the mandates of the con
st.tution against discrimination in freight
rates on our public lines, carriage and APP
%portionment of state into congressional
and assembly districts, merits the con-
demnation of the citizens of the common
wealth. The resolutions were adopted as
read. A campaign fund of 81, 900 was
raised by subscription and cash. Barr
Spangler, of M%arinetta, was nominated
for state treasurer almost by reclamation,
the several other candidates receiving but
a few votes.
After appointing a state committee and
electing the old officers, the convention
adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The repor.
of Gen. Miles upon the condition of the
southern Utes in Colorado was received at
the interior department this morning
and the commissioner of Indian affairs
Immediately instructed the agent to secure
supplies Tor the Indians, The bureau
officers say that the trouble was caused by
deficient appropriations for the purchase
of food and supplies. The department
has %endeavored to distribute the amount
of appropriations throughout the fiscal
year, but to avert starvation among the
Indians it has been found necessary to x
pend more than the limited amount set
apart for each quarter and to rely upon
congress to make good the deficiency. In
the case of the southern Utes there is an
interest fund that can be used for the pur-
chase Of food when the regular appropria-
ton is exhausted. Supplies amounting
to 10000 pounds Of beet and 3 900 pounds
OF -four will be issued weekly to these In

SARATOGA, n. Y, Aug. 25- The
meeting of the Republican committee was
called to order at noon to-day by Chair
man Warren. Fire Commissioner Van
Colt offered the following preamble and
resolutions;
WHEREAS. The best interests of the
Republican party will be subserved in the
PENDING contest by a free and full express
sion of the wishes of all classes of Repub-
licans throughout the primaries held for
the election of delegates to the next tate
convention; therefore,
Resolred, As the judgment of this
committee, that all voters residing in the
several districts of the assembly of state
who adhere to the principles of the Re
publican party; and whose intention is to
act with the party and promote its success
by their votes and influence at the next
general election, be INVITED, without regard
to the so called fundamental test, to attend
and take part in said primaries; and this
committee recommends all organizations
of the party throughout the state to act in
compliance with the foregoing sugges-
ton.
Jacob Hess asked if the plan would not
interfere with the plans already adopted
last year? Van Colt said there were thou
sands of Republicans in New York city
who did not vote for the nominee for the
presidency. 1t would be wise for the com
mittee to do all in its power to give them
an opportunity to vote for the Republican
nominees this year, The resolution, alter
a short discussion, was unanimously adop-
ted. 1t was decided to hold the state
convention at Saratoga, September %.
