THE FARMERS MOVEMENT.
The NeUs and Courier of Wednesday con-
tains the following card from Mr.. Stack
house, chairman of the committee on or
ganization of the recent Farmers Conven-
ton:
AS chairman of the committee on organ
ization of the late Farmers Convention L
ain in receipt of a number of letters in re-
ference to the future conduct of said Organi-
cation, and as another member of the COM
mittee is in receipt of similar inquiries, l
ask the space in your columns for a short
open letter of answe and explanation, and
it is due both to parties writing to me and
to myself to say that my delay in answering
was caused by severe personal affliction.
The committee on organization is not now
charged with the duty of aiding in the for
nation of clubs and county associations;
the president of the convention appointed
one man in each county to aid in this work.
1t is expected that the official statement OF
the conventions doings will be published
in the June bulletin of the department of
agriculture by reference to which it will be
seen who was appointed to the discharge OF
that duty.
The organization is not "launched for the
campaign nor is it expected 'that it Will
die out after the election" The purpose of
kLo oo~,n,k;oo x,,oc IN rarnoft1of TO tho 0rpan-
~ization. 1t arranged to form State assocla-
ton next November, which it is hoped will
be permanent. The representation from the
counties to the State association next No
vember is to be on the basis of representa-
ton in the General Assembly, and may be
elected by q county mass-meetlng. But
surely it is not necessary to argue the ad-
vantages of organizing. Let there be club
in every township or community, and an
association in everycounty in the State let
there be a general discussion of the conven-
TONS recommendations and the farmers
interests, and all good men may dismiss
their fears, for before the November meet
ing of the State association they will have
reached safe conclusions as to the Importance
of adopting them or the necessity of reject
ing them.
1t could scarcely be expected that so large
a body as the late Farmers Convention,
in attempting so much in so short a time,
should fail to make mistakes. The recon-
mendations of the convention are submit
ted to the consideration of the farmers of
the State. Let them organize, pass upon
them and render their verdict at the asso-
citation next November.
Because a farmer is not in favor of all the
conventions recommendations is not suf-
fcient reason why he should not identify
himself with the movement unless ne
thinks the organization of a farmers club
is sufficiently dangerous, on general prin-
ciples, to justify its being throttled. l SUBJ
nit that the better way would be to join
the movement and aid in shaping the poll

SOME USES OF HOSPITALITY.-We are
never more truly ourselves than when
at home. In the home atmosphere is
free. u%nhindered bloom of whatever gift or
grace is native to the soul. 1t follows, there
fore, that the influence of mel and women
is pre-eminently persuasive, subtle, and
helpful, when that influence is felt through
the associations of the households, or, out
side its circle, through its Inequalities. The
home-life, the most precious of our earthly
comforts, is indeed, in some sense, the one
least susceptible of being shared with 9TH
ers; yet its sunniness n warmth are
shed, not only in the tone and temper of
the household, as each one goes his way
in the world, but more obviously in its hos
FATALITIES. In many a village or country
neighborhood, some one home, a little
above the homes around it in culture and
refinement, or in simple Christian living
be it of pastor or teacher, of doctor or farm
er,-is helping to lift the lives it touches,
or which touch it, through its kindly hos
FATALITIES, to a higher and broader intelli-
gence, thought and purpose, is setting the
standards of many young men and women,
raising them far above what they would
otherwise be :; and these ideals are to be
realized in homes yet unestablished. The
pictures on the walls, the volumes on the
shelves, the dainty table appointments, the
| lOW0TS, luC llUIlc luCllul SOtlN CliiSASSo, ShS
air things have of being lovingly cared for,
and most of all, and rarest the home at
mosphere and the home ways, are all noted
by the guests in such houses, though those
guests seem to be awkward boys, or shy
giggling girls. 1 suppose a girl or boy
often gets her or his first impetus towards
some possible attainment, from such in
fuences.-Good Housekeeping.
STONEwALL JACKSON AND BARBARA
FRIETCHIE.-Col. Henry Kyd Douglass, in
an article on Jackson in Maryland in the
Century, has this to say of the alleged Incl
dent which gave rise to Whittier's poem:
"The troops being on the march, the Cen
eral and staff rode rapidly out of town and
took the head of the column. Just a few
words here in regard to Barbara Frietchie,'
a touching poem which sprang fullarmed
from the loyal brain of Mr.. Whittier. An
old woman, by that now immortal name,
did live in Frederick in those days, but she
was 81 years old and bed-ridden; she never
saw Gen. Jackson, and Gen. Jackson never
saw her. Twas with him every minute ofthe
time he was in that city-he was there only
tWice-and nothing like the scene so graph
ically described by the poet ever happened.
The story will perhaps live, as Mr.. Whittier
has boosted, until it gets beyond the reach
of correction.
"On the march that day the captain of
the cavalry advance, just ahead, had in
structions to let no civilian 60 to the front,
