ABOUT POLITICS.

When we find the most upright
citizens taking no interest in poll
tics, showing no zeal for the good
government of the country, we
may expect political stagnation
and corruption. But when the
best citizens manifest interest in
public affairs we have good gov
eminent and honest administrator
of public trusts. 1t is the duty of
every man to take an active per-
sonal interest in the welfare of his
country, and to see that the best
citizens are elected to public
places"
All true, every word of it. The
truth is of kind that needs to be
often repeated. One of the great
difficulties perhaps the greatest, in
securing good government in this
country, lies in the apathy and
Indifference to politics of SO many
intelligent and respectable people,
who are otherwise good citizens,
but who in this respect are not
such. They take little or no in
terest in popular elections, and
hundreds and thousands of them
do not vote on election days
They leave the whole matter
to be managed by political
tricksters and their followers,
and perhaps express their dis
gust without actively doing any.
thing to prevent or cure the evils
of which they complain. This is
neither good sense nor good citi
zenship. Every one who has the
right to do so should cast his vote
on election days, and demand OF
every candidate for whom he votes
as the condition of receiving Insult.
able intelligence and a good reputa
ton for integrity and honesty
Were this the general practice Of
those whom the writer of the above
extract calls upright citizens, THE
consequence would be great i'm.
provement in all the affairs of gov.
eminent. Political parties would
be purer; better candidates would
be nominated, and better officers Of
law would be elected. The whole
body polite would be in sounder
and healthier condition, land numer-
Gus shady acts that are now toler-
ated, would be banished from the
land.

FRANKLIN'S WILL.

And now at this late day the will
of Benjamin Franklin Is contested,
that is, one of his charities pro-
vided for by the will is disputed.
1t appears that by bis last testa-
ment Franklin set aside one thou
sand pounds sterling each, for
Philadelphia and Boston, to be
used by those cities after a hun
dred years of investment in help

ing deserving young men to start |
in business. Franklin's idea was
that at the expiration Of the term
the investment Of the sums named
and the re-investment OF the earn
ings would produce more than one
million dollars, the interest upon
which would prove sufficient to aid
several young men each year to
start in small way in q safe bust
ness, the recipients Of the aid to be
such as had capacity but no CAPT
tai, and who, by reason of their
correct lives and their good ex-
amples, were worthy of assistance.
1t was a noble conception, and for
a hundred years has excited men
to commend Franklin's breadth Of
charitable spirit.
But the investment of the sums
| has not turned out as Franklin
calculated. Only about half as
much has been realized as be anti
cipated. His heirs now come in
and ask that the bequest be set
aside, because it has failed of its
| purpose; that as the terms of the
will have not been complied with
and cannot be within the time ap.
pointed, the will TO that extent |:
void and the trust created has ter
minated, wherefore they ask thai
the money and its earnings be dis
tributed among them. The case il
already in the Courts of Pennsyl
: vania, and it is probable that a long
and tedious litigation will be main
tanned
If the will is defeated, as is no
unlikely, it will be but another in
stance of the failure of men, wis
in their day, to so make provisio
by will for their benefcent contr
buttons that the charities will bt
come effective. The better plan fo

Ho,o Edison Became Deaf

Thomas A. Edison narrated to few
personal friends recently the primal
cause of deafness i'll one of his ears,
which reveals an incident in his early
career as journalist.
When he WINS fourteen years old Mr..
Edison wrote squibs for society
newspaper in Port Huron, Mich,
called the Spy. On one occasion he
published paragraph of an unplcas-
ant nature concerning young swell
in the town. On the following day
the young man learned who was the
author of the item, and soaking young
Edison he found him enjoying The
cooling brcczes by the shore of the
lake.
Without a word of warning he
seized the lad by both ears, lifted him
in the air and dropped him into the
water. Young Edison scrambled out
and discovered that his hearing was
affected.
A surgical examination revealed tho
terrible fact that the violent Juggling
had broken the drum in one of his
ears and made him permanently deaf
on that side of his head. Said Mr..
Edison in relating the affairs:
"This cured me entirely of any de-
sirc to participate in society journal
ism."-GNew York World
