The wash>tub is an open confes'
sion that linen needs washing, but it
is also an open protest Of clean hu,
man nature against dirt. One OF the
compensations of life is a laundry =
providing it is not a chinese laundry.
In the latter you do not know what
kind of insdious dirt is given for
what is taken away, The ideal clean
shirt is one that has been purified IN
the same tub with baby's bib
and wifc's handkerchiefs. Fanny
Fern made n true touch of nature
when she showed Ruth Hall, looking
with tender thought upon the soilcd
creases of her dead husbands collar
The ideal clean shirt cannot come
from u public laundry. Indeed, the
perfection of the IDEAL is only
reached when the shirt has been
washed and polished by the wlfe's
own hands. 1t has then the touch
of tie higher life in 1t, which enno~
bles both the washer and the wearer,
It becomes a token, white and spot
less, Of the love which is as pure as
itself. Tom Hood wrote the song of
the Devils Shirt. There is another
kind which can be set to better mus
SIC. While many n wife has been
stitching and laundrying, an angelic
scamstress and washer by her unseen
and invisable has been looking down
smilugly upon her toll, and as she
folded away the pure muslin for use
here below, has folded away for her

Every boy is two or three boys, or
twenty or thirty different kinds Of
boys in one. He is all the time liy~
ing many lives and forming many
characters; but it is good thing if
he can keep one life and character
when he gets to be man. He may
turn out to be like an onion when he
is grown up, and be nothing but
hulls, that you keep peeling off. one
after another, till you think you
have got down to the heart at last,
and then you will have got down to
nothing. -Harper's Young People.

an exchange prints the following;
Take the same length of railroad
in the North as in the South, and the
accidents are three to one by actual
comparison. The loss of life is ten

Independents Are Without A
State Issue.

No reasonable man will deny that
there are public evils to be corrected.
Il always has been 80, and, mo doubt,
always will be, until the millennium.
Thoughtful men associate to remedy
these evils. Parties are made up Of
those who have this aim. However
the organizations differ, the ostensi-
BILE purpose is the same. No party
is wholly made up Of men whose
aims are selfish and bad. A politi.
cal party composed Of all corrupt
men could not exist in an intelligent
community. Such men always At
tach themselves to such organiza-
tons as will, in their judgment, best
serve their purpose. Hence they
are found in all parties. Since all
honest men Of all parties have the
same end in view, they differ only
- to the best means of bringing
about the result. Each one il en-
titled to his judgment or opinion In
this matter. Therefore there is no
room for ordinations or recrimina-
tions. nor for personal abuse. The
only legitimate ground for discuss
ion - tho efficiency OF the party OF.
instrument used to bring about the
needed reform.
The independents. in their zeal to
reach the goal, have discarded both
of the old parties as instruments Of
reform and propose Z new organi-
zati0n. This, Of course, they have Z
right to do. But unfortunately the
means are not adapted to the end.
There are good reasons for believing
that the leaders in the movement
make reform only q secondary OBJ
ject. Their primary and chief aim
is TO secure political Offices for Them
selves and their immediate friends.
They tried to hinder reforms in the
last legislature TO have q better pre-
text for the new movement. When
they came to form their declaration
OF principles they failed to find s.
single state issue that they could
distinctively make. Hence they
have no legitimate ground to stand
upon, % far q I state platform is
concerned. Tho republican plat
form covers every desirable princi.
pie and leaves no room for an indie.
pendent, except the very slim one
that the party will not carry out ito
professions. There is no reasonable
Tor this charge, for the
record Of the party shows that the
republican party IN this state has
fulfilled it, pledges 70 ! greater ex-
