his activity-all the energies of his
hand, eye, tongue, heart and brain,
and if you start for success you must
expect to pay its price. 1t cannot be
won by feeble, halfway efforts.
Take heed, brother farmers, of an
aimless life. Take heed, too, of a low
and sordid aim. Remember that a
we'll ascertained, noble and generous
purpose gives vigor, direction and
perseverance to all mans efforts.
Well, brother editor, | know [ write

over the subject. So | will close with
a few remarks on u next Governor.

"Sid." He a begin to make his
necessary arrangements for somebody
to take care of those fine Jersey calves.
Some of these soft-headed fellows
around here say that "Sid would be
a good Lieutenant Governor, with
Fowle or Stedman to head the ticket.
But [ endorse Alexander as do your
other correspondents.
Some of the Bosses" say that the
farmers are all right if they will only
let politics alone. [ reckon they would
like to wiring from our hands one of
our noblest rights. We are going to
trot "Sid" through the camps, and if
they want to "kick against the pricks'
it is all right. They will find the
farmers all Gas firm as the everlasting
hills or the rock of Gibraltar" 1t
has been asserted by all classes of men
that the farmers will not stick together,
and that is why they can't succeed.
Now, we will deceive them in the next
election.
Brethren, five would know and
enjoy privileges as citizens of an
independent and confederate State, we
must develop u own moral and in
tellectual resources. Remember that
demagogues may ~harrangue an ignor-
ant people and basely eulogize them
to obtain their votes and secure their
own promotion for selfish purposes
while the form Of government remains
unchanged. The people in such cases
are led by traitors in a way they know
not. So let me ask you, for your own
sake: go not after lawyers, go not after
doctors, go not after merchants; if you
do, you may look for class legislation.
But look, with the eye Of a hawk
to the interests of the toiling masses
of your State.
Brother farmers, do you want to be
educated on your rights as citizens Of
this great Commonwealth q? If you
do, take The PROGRESSIVE FARMER.

| did itself in the matter OF weather yester-
day. The day began with warm, spring
like rain early in the morning, turned
into cold, violent rain storm later in
the day, and developed at night into a
cold. clustering snow and wind storm
that uprooted trees, tangled up telegraph
wires, broke off poles, blocked up rail
roads. aud finally terminated in cold
wave, which sent the mercury from the
neighbOrhood Of the forties clear down
TO 20 degrees above zero. 1t was the
most remarkable storm that the city
has seen for years and the most disagrcea.
ble The telegraph wires were down in
every direction, and telegraphic cOmmun.
icaiiOns were cut oil completely. When
the storm began the Western Union en-
poyes went To work az usual, but as the
minutes glided by wire after wire broke
down. The South was completely cut off
by 9 o'clock, while only two wires
remained 10 carry the news aud CONNER
cial messages between this city and New
York. But even these wires were unable
to withstand the pressure OF wind and
ice long
The effect of the storm was felt by the
railroad companies almost as much as 10y
the telegraph and telephone companies
All the trains were running late, and as
the wires were all down il was not known
whether trains reached their destination
or not. Business was being carried on
at random. and the few anxious people
who assembled at the depOts had 10 wait
patiently for the arrival of trains the Of

slightest information about when they

South were delayed by broken telegraph
poles and trees, while the New York

rive until shortly before midnight, the
crew having had 10 clear the track Of
broken poles before it could proceed
While the amount Of damage cannot
be accurately estimated it is certain that
not in years has the city been visited by
storm that caused more trouble or
endangered life and property as much as
did the storm of yesterday. Ii will
probably be several days before the
actual damage is completely repaired.
1t is estimated that 900 poles are down
between this city and Baltimore, and
they are lying across the railroad tracks,

A Washington reporter writes lurid
description of the storm in that city on
Sunday, and says that The Signal Office
had practically suspended business. and
for the first time in the history of the
office, had to succumb TO the very ele-
ments which 1t had always treated with
such unwarrantablc familiarity. Tele-
phones were practically useless, and a
message which was started to George
town wound up at the Navy Yard, or
terminated in an electric light. The
bosterous wind swayed the wires to-
gether or mixed them up into an inextri-
cable tangle from which they were only
released when the weight of the snow
and ice broke them asuEder and bore
both poles and wires to the goound a
hopeless wreck.
