Hear what Tom Brown at Oxford
says about wild oats: TN all the
wild range of accepted British max
inns there none-take it for all in all
more thoroughly abominable than
the one u to sowing Of wild oats.
Look at it on either side you will,
and you can make nothing but a
devils maxim Of it. The only thing
TO do with wild oats is TO put them
carefully into the hottest part Of the
fire and get them burned to dust,
every seed of them. II you SOW
them. no matter in what ground, up
they will come, with long tough
roots like couch-grass, and luxuri-
and stalks and leaves, as sure as
Their is a sun in heaven-a crop which
it turns ones heart cold to think Of.
The devil too, whose special crop
they are. will sse that they thrive,
and you, and nobody else, will have
to reap them; and no common reap
ing viii get them on. Of the soil,
which must be dug down deep again
and again. Well for you il, with all
your care, you can make the ground
sweet again by your dying day"

A DIFFICULT FEAT.


"IIello Look yonder. Watch that
fellow out there behind that old house,
was the excited exclsmations of man
standing on Main street last Monday. A
considerable crowd soon collected and all
looked in wonder in the direction indi-
Gated. "What's he trying to do with
himself?' questioned the first obsel yer.
II know what he's doing" ventured
a man who sat whiting on q porch
near by. "That fellow was democrat
two years ago. but just before the Sep
tember election one of his neighbors got
him to join this union labor party"
but what is be cutting them didoes
for? Look Why, he beats any mule
ever saw kicking up Has politics run
him crazy?' continued the first speaker
"Oh, no; he's all right in the head now,

trying to kick himself behind for voting
for Streeter, aud its very difficult per-
formance. I've tried it myself

The sombre countenances OF many
democrats hereabouts since the cleo
tion almost makes one listen for the
language of the psalmst to burst
from their lips with its eloquent
grief, 81 am troubled; am bowed
down greatly;. 60 mourning al q :
day long" To such, we say pluck
up courage, be consoled by the fact
that such Waterloo as we met on
the 9Th would wipe any political orr
ganization off the face Of the earth,
but the immortal principles of dem>
ocracy, always magnificent In trl-
umph, are still glorious in defeat.
The tenets of democracy are broad
as the constitution of our country
and as vital as the government ITSELF
Remember that we can always COM
mand in our behalf the antique
virtues and Roman purity OF such
men as Allen G. Thurman, and the
far-reaching courage of such men as
the peerless Grover Cleveland, who
would rather be right with the ap-
proval of the common people than
be president by the grace of trusts,
millionaires and monopolists. Take
courage; the dissolution of the dem
ocratic party is postponed, If not
indefinitely, at least to a perloa
adown the corridors of time beyond
the niche occupied by the last monu'
ment to human liberty and equality

reform wadding, using copy OF

off again promptly at the instigatlon

too powerful for her delicate
constitution. One piece of the
gun was found next day some two

she was mounted, but the other

THE WILD MAN IN TROUBLE.

New YORK, Jan. PA cable special
to the Herald from Berlin saws: An
American citizen had attention drawn
to him this week in an amusing way.
He was darky from Baltimore, of the
blackest jim -Crowtype. Having applied
for admission to hospital, he was re-
quired to explain how and why he came
here. His replies will sever as warnings
to others.
"Yes, boss, I've been working here;
got so week to play wild man in
circus. l was all stripped 'cept around
the middle, and wore a claw necklace;
had to make out as if l couldn't talk.
Twas mighty tiresOme to say 'goo-goo'
and grin all day. Then times got hard.
| had to eat raw meat and drink blood.
The circus man he stood off as if he was
afraid of me and ehueked meat on the
floor to me. | had to lean over, pick it
up in my teeth and worry it like / was a
dog. 1t was horse meat and pretty
tough, massa, but it brought people to
see it a-biling for while. Then it got
drefful cold for nigger with no clothes
on, and they put snake around NV
neck. l couldn't stand that, boss, so I'se
come to the hospital"
The fellow got clothes enough to cover
him, and will probably get into the hos
pital.

THURSDAY JANUARY %, 1888.

THE position of Bishop Ireland, of the
Catholic Church at st. Paul, in reference
to the public school question is one that
commends itself to many friends of free
schools. The Bishop thinks that public
schools are necessity in country where
every voter is a part of the government,
and that without public aid many must
remain in Ignorance and dangerous to
the State. He thinks the instruction to
be given is that which is needed for the
purpose of intelligent citizenship, and
that the common schools should answer
such purposes only. HeOppOses the high
school system, and thinks that taxation
to sustain it is unjustifiable.
The section of the Constitution of Ohio
providing for public schools requires the
State to provide free schools for the ''ttOr
ough training Of the youth Of the State
in the common branches Of an English
eduoatiOn" This is precisely what is not
done in our so-called graded Schools
Those who conduct and control them un-
dertake to educate the youth in the high
er branches, and neglect that thorough
training in the common branches re-
quired by the Constitution, and neceS-
sary to fit an Individual for good citizen
ship and the practical affairs of life. As
a result, the youth obtain a superficial
of many things, and a thor
ough knowledge of nothing. Irrepara-
BILE damage is done the youth subjected
to such training, and plain and manda-
tory provision of the Constitution dis
This is a matter deserving the cOnsid-
crate attention of all friends of our pub
lie schools.

Mr.. ALBAUGH has again introduced
his well known country school bill, which
passed the House last winter but met de-
feat in the Senate.
In its principal and main features the
new bill does not differ from its luckless
predecessor. The central idea still is to
wipe out the present autocratic and in
dependent sub-district boards and place
the district schools under the supervision
and control of township boards. The new
bill contains this important provision,
however, which the old one did not, to
wit: that majority of the parents or
guardians of children of school age shall
have power to prevent the appointment
of a teacher whom they do not want.
