DeStinY.

We met, twas at a crush. 1 did not dream
That we should wend our way through
life together;
| handed her some Strawberries and cream
And then we talked, / think about the
weather.
| felt, if remember, somewhat bored,
And she, i noticed, seemed little restiye,
Our hearts did not then beat in sweet ac-
cord:
Besides ''the weather did not prove
suggestive.
Nor when knew her better did / think
That l should wake some morning to
discover
That Fate at length had forged the missing
link,
And bound me to that maiden as her
lover.
Thus time rolled on, but still saw no sign
That friendship had become a holier
passion.
little thought call that maiden mine,
We walked and talked in most platonic
fashion.
We culled together many fiowery tro-
ply;
She came familiarly to call me "Jim,"
And I,reciprocating,c called her sophie"
But little rocked that love would ever
thrill
Her heart and mine; that love was even
nascent;
That she would whisper lovingly, az will!n
And up to now, in point of fact, she
hasn't.

The Peasant Displacing the Farmer.

Prof. Rodney Welch in the Feb Forum.
1t may sound strange to eastern
readers, but it is nevertheless true, that
there are more farms in Illinois, Wis
consin, and Iowa that have been desert
ed by their owners than there are In
New Hampshire, Vermont and Massa-
chusetts. In the New England states
owners leave their farms because the
labor spent in cultiyating them is no
longer remumeratiye, but such is not
the case in the prairie regions of the
west. There the owners leave them
for the reason that they can obtain
sufficient rent from tenants to enable
them to support their families in
towns. Cities in several of the western
states contain hundreds of retired farm
ers. Springfield, ILL.,, and GAINESVILLE,
Wis, are good examples of the towns
in which these absentee landlords
reside. These retired farmers or
absentee landlords take little interest in
ships in which their land is situated, or
in sustaining schools of high grade.
As rule they do not even keep up the
improvements on their farms or COM
mence new ones. They erect no SUBJ
stantial buildings, plants no orchards
and vineyards, and set out no orna-
mental trees and shrubs. Their farms
are worked, as mines and quarries are,
for the amount Of marketable material
they can be made to produce. AS their
tenants ordinarily lease the land from
year to year, they have no interest in
making improvements.
The result of this is the formation of
q distinct peasant class, such as is
found in Bavaria and Bohemia. In
entire counties in Illinois and Wisconsin
the English language is scarcely ever
heard outside the large towns. The
church services are conducted in q
foreign tongue, and instruction is given
in it in the schools. The intellectual
condition of the people who occupy
farms is not above that of the lowest
class of laborers in our large cities. The
townships they inhabit seem like
detached portions of central Europe put
down near the center of the new world.
Nominally these men may be citizens,
for town politicians have had them
passed through the naturalization mill
but they know little, and care lesi
about the institutions of the country.

THE FLEETING FAME OF POLITICIANS,

The kilograms from Albany give de-
tails of conversation held there, the
other day, between Governor Hill and
Lieutenant Governor Jones. This pecu-
liar fellow, Jones, implored Governor
Hill, almost on his bended knees, to
abandon the gubernatorial chair in
order that he, Jones, might occupy it, if
only for week. 1t had been the ambi-
ton of his life to be governor of New
York, he said if only for week, or a
day or an hour. Fortunately for the
state of New York and for the
Democracy, Governor Hill was in
flexible. He reminded Jones of his
betrayal of the Democratic party
during the last campaign, and
held staunchly by his post. 1t would be
perilous thing to allow fool to occu-
py great station like that of governor
of New York even for a week. His
great anxiety to fill the executive chair
of the state Of his birth, can be easily
understood. Multitudes are imbued
with the idea that high political station
is thing to be achieved at all hazards.
The hunger for fame is said to be no.
BILE thing. And yet it is perhaps the
least rational of all the passions, and its
indulgenceis is becoming more and more ir-
rational every day, with the multiplying
candidates for place in the biograph-
ical dictionaries. How many Americans
can give the name OF the governor of the
Empire state in 1910? How many Cali
fornians can give the name OF the first
governor OF this state. although he is
illliving, in honorable retirement, with
his children and grandchildren, in San
Francisco? Ephemeral public station
confers at best but feeting celebrity.
The tribe OF politicians, Statesmen and
warriors push each other off the stage
with unseemly haste. The only
man who can hope to live
long in the memory of mankind in this
busy age is he who can write poem or
a book instinct with genius, or who can
invent telegraph, a telephone or
phonograph. 1t will not tax the men,
ory much to remember the names of our
presidents but as far as the many
headed multitude are concerned, most
of them are already forgotten. Lieuten-
ant-Governor Jones may as we'll dry
his eyes. Even ii Governor Hill had
relented, and the petitioner had become
governor, if his name were mentioned
five years from now, people would say:
"Jones, Jones-Who in the name OF
sheol was Jones ?'
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-21

ApRopos of the talk about Italy send
ing q successor to Baron Fava to Wash
ington, the HERALD takes the liberty OF
rising to remark that it would be an ex-
cellent thing for the United States if
our whole diplomatic system were
changed-if foreign countries sent no
ministers to the United States and we
sent no ministers abroad. All the pre-
tentious pomp OF ministers plenipoten-
tiary and ambassadors extraordin-
ary is mere incident OF mon
archical pride. The United States,
at least, should lay aside the
frippery. All we require is a consular
system arranged on an intelligent plan,
and rounded out with competent Off
cials. AS the case stands today, the re-
tention of our present expensive diplo-
matte system simply enables us to send
to Europe lot of politicians inexpe-
rienced in diplomatic usages, whose
strange antics and lack of genuine re-
publican spirit in many instances reflect
ridicule on the United States. This
country has got along very well without
Fava, and Italy has not suffered greatly
from the absence of Porter. Why not
call it quits, and abolish the farce alto
pether?
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-21

THE contrast of the manner in which
the correspondence OF the State Depart
ment was conducted during the war, and
the way it is conducted under the
'tbrilliant administration" which Blaine
has given the country, is striking indeed.
Secretary Seward managed to make q
strong impression on foreign govern
ments, Notwithstanding the fact that he
was engaged in great civil war. For
tunately for the country, he WAS law
yer of marked learning and resources.
Happily, also. for the secretary, Hon.
Caleb Gushing was then at the meridian
of his powers, and was able to detect
at glance the exact status OF every IN
ternational question which might arise
and give Mr.. Lincoln's cabinet the bene-
ct of bis great erudition. Mr.. Seward,
without bravado, was able to re-assert
the Monroe doctrine in the most impress
s;ve manner in our history. II ne were
now at the head of the state depart
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-21

ment there would be no such un-
American thing as submitting the
Beripp sea question to arbitration.
And vet, high as was the stand which
Mr.. Seward took on all questions re-
lating to the national dignity and
power, he managed to avoid any of
the unseemly excitements that so often
characterize our present intercourse
with foreign nations, especially with our
sister republics to the south. When
Mr.. Seward retired from Office he visited
Mexico, where he was practically hailed
as a liberator. If he had continued
his trip further south, even to Patago-
MIA, he would have been greeted by the
same unbridled enthusiasm. Secretary
Bayard succeeded in maintaining the
prestige of the United States with for
eign nations without resorting to any
"bounce," yet the interference of a Tor
eign minister in our internal affairs was
resented with the proper dignity and
effect. There has been entirely too
much bluster in the management of the
state department, and this has been
aggravated by jobbery. The appear
ance of Minister Egan's son in iobbing
transactions in Chile should have been
Immediately followed by the recall of
Egan psre. Good sense and the ma
tional dignity alike called for the re-
moval of a minister whose family was
mixed up in commercial transactions
that are said to have an unsavory odor.
Take it for ali in all, the brilliant ad-
ministration" which Blaine is giving
the country is of the will-o'-the-wisp
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-21

deeply tarnished with jobbery and brib-
cry. The report upon which Anglers
dismissed Mercier confirms the charges
of wholesale corruption, and cites the
fact that in the case of the Bay OF
Chaleurs railroad there was bribery
traced directly to the government Of
fic;als. Even the public printer con-
fessed that he had received over $l00, 900
of illicit money during his incumbency.
There seems to have been rottenness in
every department, and the lieutenant
governor, when he was satisfied of the
corruption that existed throughout the
administration, took the bull by
the horns, and gave the pre-
mier and his cabinet their
congo without ceremony. NJ. Mercier
is perhaps right when he says that An
gers assumed autocratic powers, and
paid no attention to usages or forms
in his irregular and peremptory course.
The boodlers are always great sticklers
for form and the exact letter Of the law
when they are brought up with round
turn. That was their cry against WALL
aces elisor in this state. They know
that they always have safe refuge
when they can get into the courts with
their technical batteries. We do not
believe that American sympathy is to
be won by the Mercier faction, even
with the bait OF annexation he holds
out so invitingly. We shall be glad to
carefully consider such proposition
when it comes from the honest element
of the Canadian people. But as an in
spiration from the boodling element in
retaliation for its peremptory eviction
from place and power, the appeal will
fall upon deaf ears. Whilst we are
doing all we can to defeat and punish
our own boodlers, we cannot afford to
give aid and comfort to those OF oul
neighbor, even with annexation thrown
in.

THE VALUE OF MERcIER's DEFIANcEs.

M. Mercier, the deposed premier of
Canada, is holding very bold and revo-
lutionary attitude. He declares that he
will rally his adherents and capture the
legislature and make Canada too hot for
Lieutenant Governor Anglers and his
new premier, Mr.. Abbott. There is also
an alluring threat of separation and an
nexation in the defances he throws out.
This would all appear very catching to
Americans who are anxious to see a
powerful movement made in Canada
for annexation with the United
States, if it were not that

the growth of business in Los Angeles

of the shipments of the Southern Pacific
railway for 1S90-91. In the former year
they were II 55S, 800 pounds and in the
latter 116, 75S, 800 pounds, showing an in
crease for '91 of $780, 200 pounds, or
nearly sixty-two per cent. A statement
of the Santa F6 for the same period
would doubtless exhibit an equally graf
