upon him many years ago by brother
journalists in California, will contIib
ute to the Century during the coming
year q series of articles descriptive of
his experiences i'll different parts of
America and in various capacities. He
calls them his "Autobiographies,' and
tho first one, "The Autobiography OF a
Justice of the Peace" will appear in
the November Century. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Nye has not drawn SO
largely Us is usual with him upon his
powers of Of invention, but has en-
daavored to present series of pictures
of American life which will both
amuse and instruct.
Northwestern Agriculturist: There
have been several years of agriculture al
depression, not only in the northwest,
but all over this country and i'll al
countries. The farmers profits have
been little or nothing, but he has had
some advantages which his city cous-
ms of equal capital and skill could
not command He has been his own
employer and master of his own time.
He has lived at home with his family.
He has not been haunted with the fear
of losing his job with starvation facing
him and his little ones. He has had
enough to eat and of good quality.
He has health and a good digestion
that Jay Gould would give his fortune
for. The politicians who want votes
picture the ills that farmers know, but
say nothing about the greater ones in
other walks of life of which they know
nothing.
A man who is wise, careful and con-
servativo, energetic, persovering and
tireless, need have no fear Of his flu
ture, writes Horny Clews, the New
York baker, in the October Ladies
Home Journal. But there is one 9th
or thing. He must have steady head
one that can weather the rough sea OF
reverses from which no life is altogeth
or free, and one that will not become
too big when successes attend his Of
forts. Keep out of the way of specu
lators. Take your money, whether il
be much or little, to one whose repu
tation will insure you good counsel
Invest your money where the princi
pal is safe and you will got along
But don't forget the acrons. 1t is from
little acorns that great oaks grow
See that you begin Alright early in life
Save your money with regularity. By
50 doing, you will more than save you
mon ey; you will make money.
w. NJ. Todd has been travelling il
Iowa, and gives a discouraging &C
count of the workings Of the prohibit
tory laws in that state. His statement
is that in the principal cities liquors
are sold in open defiance of the law
and in many smaller towns the traffic
is carried on in clandestine form tina
is not much less obnoxious. Mr.. Todc
sums up the situation as follows:
The aspect shows that a law cannot
be enforced against public sentiment
and that, as consequence prohibit
tory liquor law does not necessarily
prohibit the sale of liquor. A local op
ton measure would enable localities
with prohibitory proclivities to prohib
it the public sale of liquor, while I'm,
der it the localities which favor an I'M
restricted sale would not consume
not more than at present or violating
the law. There is still another aspect
The every day violation of law, pro
hibitory or otherwise, very naturally
creates in the violaters disregard OF
laws in general; and such a condition
is not only demoralizing in its social
influence, but it lowers the standard
of citizenship and is serious menace
10 gOOu government.
West St. Paul Times: 1t is quite
remarkable the amount of gush the
poor farmer is expected to swallow
He is the target for all the political
tricksters to shoot at the Venus fol
them to fawn upon. All political par
ties, when the campaign is on, are thu
friends of the farmer. His is about
the only occupation of consequence OF
the whole earth that numbers thu
whole of the champions of these par
ties in it's ranks. The latest addition
to this honorable profession are Igna
thus Donnelly, "Doc." Fish, S. M. Ov
en-, Gen. J. H. Baker, and a few 9th
ers, who met in solemn conclave at tn,
Merchants Hotel, and resolved that i
was a high crime and misdemeano
for any one to assert that the crop
were good; that it is ''cruel and I'm
just" to grow No. hard wheat il
abundance, or to have big potatoe
and pumpkins; that the "Harves
Festival contemplated in Minneapoli
is travesty upon honor, and schem
of the wheat spectators to reduce tn
price" These are the deliberations O
the executive committee of the PEG
} Piles Party, "a majority of" them be
ing horney handed tillers of the sol
who are up with the larks in the gra
,, dawn of morning, and at it until tn
sun has not long gone to rest.
