A DOUBLE sHUFFLER.

There must be more than one class
of people who require good memories.
Politicians of the "shout and shuffleb
variety assuredly belong to the category.
One of that kind must ever be watch
ing against not opening his mouth
without putting his foot in it The
other day Mr. Gibson feigned depreca-
tory amazement that the present Min
istry should be designated one of re-
form. That gentleman evidently fer
gets an humble confession he made to
the Assembly two or three months ago
On that occasionhe admitted thathe had
perhaps not attended to affairs with the
requisite vigilance as head Of the former
Cabinet. But he declared in lofty
strain, "this is a reform Ministry, this
is a Ministry of economy" or words to
that effect. Besides stultifyng himself
by that disclaimer, he committed an
act of supererogation by saying that
"the new Ministers had not subscribed
to any particular measure of reform or
to any set of principles. Had they
subscribed to any such meritorious
line of action, they should never have
submitted themselves to the leader
ship of His Excellency Walter Murray
Gibson. When the reports of proceed
ings of the present session are issued
NY TWO publication offices, as projected,
it would not be a bad speculation
for somebody 10 collate the diversified
sentiments of the Premier on each diff
ferent subject discussed by him. If a
Hawaiian curio in the shape Of poll
teal monstrosity would sell well, the
publisher of such volume would have
a short cut to fortune.

THE PLANTERS COMPANY.

There must be general concurrence
with the view of planters agent,
given elsewhere in to-day's paper, that
it would be folly to break up the
organization of planters and their
agents, known as the "Planters' Labor
and Supply Company" This country
is one of the most advanced of all
sugar producing countries in its
methods of cultivation and manufac-
ture. For this position it is without
doubt largely indebted to the associa-
tion in question The annual meetings
Of that body afford opportunities that
cannot be SO fully obtained in any
other way, for discussing questions of
soil, implements, labor, milling machln-
cry, transportation, irrigation, fertilizing,
seeding and harvesting, also commits
sions, the marketing of sugar, and moi
dental and auxiliary industries. Per-
haps all the objects for which the COM
pany was formed may not have been
fully accomplished, but the records of
the annual meetings attest the great
usefulness of the institution. And, as
the agent mentioned says, there might
be occasions in the future when the
want of such an organization would be
seriously felt, without time and oppor-
tunty for forming an effective one
against the particular emergency. The
dropping out of the Planters Labor
and Supply Company, most people will
agree in saying, would cause blank
much to be deplored in the list of asso-
Citations having beneficial influence
on the industrial and commercial life
of the nation.

A Story OF Faith.

The conversation drifted to pub.
fishers, and he told me pleasing little
story in which Mr.. Moore, publisher of
the Rural Nev Yorker, was the bene-
factor. A naturalist of considerable
note resided in Lancaster City at the
time. He owned little home, had
profession, but was not rich in this
worlds goods. Mr.. Moore used to
send to him all queries in connection
with obnoxious insects, etc. The
naturalist would make drawing of the
insect, give its proper name, explain
its habits, peculiarities, etc, all of
which would appear in the Rural NtaO
Yorker. One Christmas morning the
naturalist said to his daughter: "My
dear, there is turkey in the stove, to
be sure, but this accent piece is all
the money / have in the world. Not
bright outlook, is it ? Presently needy
neighbor dropped in to solicit aims,
and the naturalist promptly handed her
the quarter. He was big-hearted
man, devout Christian, and with
faith in Providence daughter, the
money will come back to me fourfold,"
he said. Just then the postman handed
in letter. The naturalist opened it
and found in it check for fifty
dollars, 1t was from Mr..
Moore, who wrote in substance: 'You
have been very kind in preparing those
articles for us from time to time. You,
no doubt, regarded it as "a labor of
love, but we must ask you to accept
this check, not as complete compensa-
ton, but as slight expression of
our appreciation of the value of your
work" "There, Mary, what did / tell
you p the old naturalist cried, his eyes
filling with tears This Is true Incl
dent, and should the Lancaster dailies
copy it they will have no trouble in
supplying the naturalist's name. Phila-

BY sugar mans estimate, our great
staple has fallen in value nineteen per
cent. in year. Yet the Government

ever seen. How long will the domina-

Praise rather than blame Is due to the Com
missioner OF Patents for his refusal to retain
upon his clerical force those incompetents
whose sole claim to position consists in a re-
mote relationship to some historic American
hero. THE ingratitude of republics" is q
phrase notorious for its misuse. No ingrati-
tude 10 shown, surely, TO the fathers of this
republic by refusing to allow the work of the
government they founded to be badly done.
On the contrary, such refusal is an evidence
that the present generation Is not unapprecia-
tive of the blessings handed down to 1t by its
ancestors. The theory that the federal depart
ments are mere charitable institutions for the
sastenance Of the progeny of the warriors or
statesmen of a century ago has not even the
virtue of . sane sentimentalism. 1t Is pre-
posterous idea at the outset The revolution
airy era In this country was one in which large
families were the rule rather than the excep-
ton. Allowing to each signer of the Declare
ton of Independence, for example, the modest
average of i've children, the whole body would
furnish q total of two hundred and seventy-fve
descendants In the first generation. Multiply
these again by five. and we have thirteen hum
dred and seventy-nve grandchildren. Multiply
still again by five, and we get nearly seven
thousand as the number of greatgrandchildren.
But the Continental Congress of 1776 contained
. mere handful of the patriots who made sac
ridces for liberty's sake In those trying times.
Inefe Wefe tnOuSanuS Oh poor SOiuiers WHO

The whole basis of the theory is false. The
hero who has done we'll by his country should
be taken care of, ii such care Is necessary to

The chronic croakers who have steadily
refused TO see that which was patent to the eyes
OF everybody else must begin to wonder what
has happened. Their warnings that the signs
Of coming business revival in this country
were misleading have been ignored by the
public, who persist In believing that we are
going 10 have prosperous winter in all depart
ments of trade and industry. The fact is that,
when the conditions are ripe, 1t is as impossible
TO check an advance as to avert q backset. The
world Is bound to consume an average of so
much iron and steel, coal and grain, cotton and
wool, every year. OverproductiOn causes an
occasional glut and . glut in the leading staples
means temporary stagnation In all; but the
general balance Is maintained, for the con-
tinued consumption eventually makes away
with the accumulated products, and then the
wheels Of production must begin to Yevolve
again. We have reached that stage in this
country now. and the mines, the fields and the
mills have got to turn out all they can for a
while, in order to keep up with the demand.
That there will be reactions now and then is
beyond doubt, but they cannot, In the nature of
things, last very long.
