Passes Should be a Perquisite.

Lately the free pass has come to be con-
sidered a factor of no small importance in
its bearing upon legislation and the proper
discharge of their regularly assigned duties
by state officials. Yet the matter does not
seem to merit SO much consideration at a
casual glance. Surely no man Of sufficient
responsibility and standing to secure such a
nomination and election would be so wholly
lacking in dignity, not to say fidelity and
principle, as to be swayed by 80 trivial
matter as pass. Still we must in oandor
admit that such is all too frequently the
case.
To see what ordinarily dignified and
grave men of affairs and even wealth will
do under the seductive influence of the
vanity-inspiring pass is positively amazing
1t makes them feel important and gratified
with themselves and mankind. Under
such circumstances we all know that the
most reliable and careful OF men is likely
to do injudicious things with the most COR
rect intentions if pro perly approached by one
who has contributed to the amiable frame
of mind in which he is placed. It's human
nature Thoroughly win a mans personal
esteem and his professional or official friend
ship is not difficult to secure.
Therefore every man occupying an Off
cial station In state should be entitled to q
pass over the transportation lines as pre-
negative of Office. Thus he is relieved of all
obligation to the companies and cannot be
held to owe them any unusual courtesy"
Instead. his whole obligation is to the state

Uncle Jerry Rusk's declaration q day or two
ago that he was very sorry to see his name
mentioned in connection with the presidential
nomination has brought out a good story,
writes chicago Herald correspondent Il is
pretty well known among Jerry's friends and
admirers that the little bee is buzzing most in
dustr1ously under that big crop of white hair of
his. but he has to be little cautious as he is q
member OF the cabinet OF President who is
SIMPLY crazy TO be renOminared- Secretary
Rusk chief clerk is a Mr.. lockwood, whom be
brought from Wisconsin, and lockwood, know
ing what was nearest TO his chiefs heart, took
advantage Of the secretarys absence a few
weeks ago and sent out a large number
OF letters TO editors Of agricultural
papers in Wisconsin and elsewhere, sug-
boom for Uncle Jerry for President. When the
secretary returned to the city and found what
MAD been going on he was furious, aud for
day or two it was an open question whether the
lucKless, but well-meaning ROckwels head
should fall in the basket Fearing that Harri-
son would in some way hear of letters being
sent out on agricultural department stationery
by the chief CLERK thereof, booming the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture for the nomination which
Mr.. Harrison expects TO get for himself, Uncle
could do would be to 20 up TO the
whlte house, make clean breast OF
It and throw all the blame on

President said it was all right-if it did not oc-
cur again. When the result of the farmers
vote for choice of preside tial candidates came
out in Massachusetts, agricultural paper and
Rusk saw that he had almost as many votes as
the President himself, he became alarmed again
actually trembled lest Harrison should sus-
pect that he and lockwood had worked the
whole thing up with their letters. and concluded
to come out in formal interview expressing
his great sorrow at the use of his name and de-
claring his undying affection for and loyalty to

The Farmers Earnest PRAYER.

''The funniest thing ever listened to-" said
the Oldest parson in the group to the New York
EUenin0 Sun, was the prayer of sly old
farmer in my first congregation, a hard headed,
hard listed fellow. with a strong sense of
humor. The old man was mad free trader.
and it happened that congress had just passed
some highly protective measure, which had
brought down the heaviest displeasure of this
man. Very soon after the passage of the bill
the NJ. c. for our district returned to his home in
our town for few days and came to prayer
meeting, as he always did. Old Farmer X
was there also and saw his chance. He
couldn't argue with Congressman L. because
the congressman could beat him out OF his
boots at argument, and he knew it. But he got
up after awhile and began to pray. He prayed
for the church and for foreign missions, and for
the President of the United States, and tnen he
gathered himself together for last effort And
now, o, Lord we beseech thee, he said-then he
hesitated-'we would not put too hard a task
even for omnipotence. but we do oeseech thee,
il thou canst, put hGtle common-Sense into
the heads of some Of our legislators
And the little rustic and ripple OF amuse-
ment that came to his ears as he sat down
brought glow Of proud qualification to his face
that all the consultations Of religion never pro-
duped -
