The Peasant DispIacing the Farmer. !

1t may sound strange to Eastern read
ers, but it is nevertheless true, that
there are more farmers in Illinois, Wis
consln, and Iowa that have been de-
serted by their owners than there are in
New Hampshire, Verne Mt, and Massa-
chuettS. In the New England States
owners leave their farms because the
labor spent in cultiVating them is no
longer remunerative, but such is not
the case in the prairie regions of the
West. There the owners of the farms
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, I'll, and GAINESVILLE,
Wis, are good examples of the lows in
which these absentee Landlords reside
These retired farmers or absentee land
lords take little interC st in keeping up
good roads in the townships in " hicn
their land is situated, or of sustaining
schools of high grade. AS a rule they
do not even keep up the improvements
on their farms or commence new ones
They erect no substantial bulldog,
plant no orchards and vineyards, anu
set out no ornamental trees and shrubs.
Their farms are worked, as mines and
quarries are, for the amount OF market
able material they can be made to pro-
duce. 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 a
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 the 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 if labor
ers in our large cities. The townships
Ehey inhabit seem like detached pur-
lions of central Europe put down near
the center of the New World. Nomi-
nally these men may be citizens, Of
town politicians have had them passed
through the naturalization mill; but
they know little and care Tess about Il G
institutions of the country: Tile EIolllln

"reminiscences of Old Charleston.


Prof. B. l.. Gildersleeve in the Feb
ruary Forum,l
Charleston was the center. Thither
came the rich planter and occupied
his town house when She dread of the
deadly "country fever" chased him
from his plantatiOn-that plantation
which city cousins loved to visit at
Christmas time. The resident of
Charleston, when he left the town at
all in the hottest season, was content
to seek refuge on Sullivan's Island
or, il favored by fortune, betOOk him
self to Fiat Rock. The Virginia
springs seemed as far away as Alaska
does now, and yet there were those
whose ambition did not stop short of
that distant goal and who journeyed
thither in the family coach. Those
who could not travel were intense
Charlestonians, and those who could
were not much less intense. Men
who knew both Paris and Charleston
spoke respectfully of Charleston. l
was proud of my native city; .cOnsid-
cred st. Michael's lone of the finest
churches in the country, sir" if not
the finest; a4G believed IN my hsart
of hearts that there was no more spa
cioHs pFamenade than the Battery,
which / used to pace with a certain
religious eXaltatiOn; no grander
houses than the old family mansions,
no nobler street han Meeting Street.
[ knew every nook and corner of the
town, kept a map of Charleston in
my room long after left "the conflu-
ence of the Ashley and Cooper
rivers" and would NOT suffer the
memory of Amen Street and Zigzag
Alley to decay. No names have ever
made the same aristecratic music in
my ear as the names of the old HUI
guenot families; and when courtfi-
ness of manner is mentioned, my
memory at once recalls the ceremO-
nious old gentlemen who were held
up to us as models of politeness.

NEWSPAPER MEN OF TO-DAY.
The Typical Pen Wielder is a Scholar
and n GnufInmau

and Gentleman.
The typical newspaper man" of
to-day is a young man. He is college
bred he come from a good family
and is a gentleman by birth and
breeding He is brighter, quicker,
has broader knowledge of men and
affairs, and he makes and spends
more money than his brother who
goes into l'hUsiness" He is we'll
dressed, well housed and well-fed.
He has learned that bohemianisn, as
exempted by irregular hours, infre-
quent baths and incessant rum, does
not pay, and he has left that sort of
bohemianism to chrO4Ic bummers
and greenh6Ens. The tone, the
morale of the profession have chang
ed within the last twenty years, and
the public is only just beginning to
find it out. Educated people who
keep their eyes open realize that
their notions of the typical newspa-
per man" are sally out of joint, and
they are revising their types. The
profession Is slowly moving toward
its rightful place in public estimation,
and the time is not very far distant,
says Printers Ink, when it will stand
not on par with but ahead of the
law, the pulpit, medicine and the
other liberal professions. In the
meantime we win have to endure
with what grace we may the would
be brilliant sketches OF playwrights
and nOvelists and the Internationally
stupid conclusions of misinfOrmed
outsiders, who see in every whiskey-
