est is manifested by the teachers in
attendance aud good results are ex-
pected.

THE RAILROADS IN DANGER.

The Third party, after its constant
abuse of railroads and railroad COM
panies, really had thenerv to ask the
railroads for transportation to the
Omaha convention. In many cases
the courtesies were granted. In few
thew were refused. These refusals
were discussed in the convention with
much waving of arms and quite an
assortment of livid language. ave
can tell those railroad companies"
shouted one of the orators, "that the
people will own and operate those
roads YETI This outburst was re-
ceived with rounds of applause. 1t
did not occur to the Peoples
party that only a limited number OF
the people composing it have yet dem
onstrated their ability to own 300
acre farm or operate a rlow-muIe.
The real farmers of the party are at
home trying to keep the weeds out OF
the fields. 1t was the "orator," the
man with the iron jaw, the man who
couldn't tell corn stalk from potato
vine, that they sent as a delegate to
the Omaha convention. And these
orators stood up and told how 1--WE"
are going to own and operate the rail-
roads, and the other. delegates shook
the buildings with applause; and still
the trains, all over the country, came
and went by schedule time, just as
though nothing had ever happened,
or was ever likely to.

THE Boston Post reminds the peo-
pie of Massachusetts that their duty
is right there in Massachusetts, and
they have nothing to do with Indiana
or New York. The same remark
might be made to those disgruntled
individuals in Texas who "like Cleve-
land, but don't think he can carry
New York" If the Democratic party
does its duty Cleveland will be elected
with or without New York and the
only thing in which Texas is con.
cerned is the rolling up of the most
magnificent Democratic majority il
has ever given any presidential can
didate.

THE RAUM REPORT.

The report of the Raum Investigate
ing committee is about concluded.
1t will furnish rare reading when it is
given to the public, which will be in a
few days. The report shows the
pension office to be "honey-combed
with fraud, rascality, incompetency
and malice" and recommends the re-
moval of Commissioner Raum on the
ground that he is incompetent, narrow
minded, malicious in the pursuit OF
supposed enemies" and in a word,
dishonest" A pretty time to remove
Mr.. Raum, truly! The papers have
been exposing his crookedness for
months, and the government was
finally moved to an investigation,
which has dragged its slow length
along until the country has grown
weary of waiting. And now, after he
has successfully looted the treasury the
committee advises his removal! Al
Mr.. Raum has already taken every
thing in sight that isn't nailed down,
he is no doubt perfectly willing to go.

AFTER THE FLOODS.

An article in st. Louis paper de-
scribes a trip down the Mississippi to
New Orleans and up Red river to
Shreveport. The stories of desolatlon
and ruin are narrowing in the ex-
treme. Wherever the fields nave
made their appearance above the SUD-
siding flood the farmers have begun
planting cotton, in the hope OF gam
ering some small returns at least'
The feed crops are all swept away
and it is too late to plant more WIN
the best Of seasons from now
on and late frost the
case ia still almost hopeless
one. as most of these farmers lost
everything in the way of provisions
and feed for stock. The fields are
washed into gullies, the soil swept
away, new channels have been cut 1or
the rivers and tributaries, in many
cases cutting farms in two, and IN
many others putting them into other
counties, or even other states. AS for
the levees, the damage to them has
been terrible, and in many places
wholly unexpected. They have been
undermined, along with the banks on
which they have rested, and have
fallen into the water. The changing
current of the river has swept them
away; and the floods have demon
strated that the question of holding
back the river by means of levees has
never yet been settled.

One evening not long since, at a
public entertainment, the attention of
a great crowd of people was attracted
by two handsome little boys, who
were evidently having more fun than
was ever before crowded into one eve
ming. At every fresh phase of the en-
tertainment they laughed and shouted
and clapped their hands, wild with
glee. Several strangers who were
standing near spoke of them,
and said how fine and
manly the little fellows
were. And the lovely young mother,
who had overheard these praises of
her children, said with all mothers
pride, Eyes, they are manly children,
and 1 think it is because they have
never been sat upon" Well, there
was food for reflection in this also.
There is a wide difference between
controlling children and "nagging"
at them. Some of us have known
families in which the unfortunate lit
tie people were not only governed, but
governed by half a dozen different
people, one of whom commanded one
thing while another issued contrary
orders, and one scolded while another
fretted, and every hour in the day
was beset with thorns for the
children. Some day, when one
of the young ones raised in
this way throws aside all barriers and
goes posting down hill at breakneck
speed, the older people will declare
with many tears, II tried to raise my
children right" The truth is, that a
great many people who try to raise
their children right succeed in making
the right way so disagreeable that the
victims choose the other way because
it is more attractive.

THE HOME CORNER.

Once upon time, the Home Corner
was present when a young lady was
asked to go about town with a sub
scription list, the object of which was
worthy one, though not for any
charity. Her reply was memorable
one. "You must excuse me-" she
said. ~ am willing to do anything 1
can to help, but l will not make my
self common by going about town
begging for money"
Perhaps this young lady inquestion
drew the line little too fine on this
particular occasion, but the position
she took is worth considering. In the
opinion of the Home Corner, every
girl is safely entrenched in her high
place and is above criticism, SO
long as she does not make
herself common. And the Home
Corner would like to know that every
girl in the land was too proud, and
thought too much of herself to make
herself common by using coarse and
"slangyn language, by talking loud,
by allowing famiIiarities from men, by
giving her picture to every chance &C
quaintance, or corresponding with
men whom she does net know, or by
putting herself on exhibition over.
much in public places. In all the lis5
of sorrowful adjectives that may come
to be applied to girl, that one word
common, is, all things considered,
most to be deplored. And then, when
one remembers that even amid all the
best surroundings, with birth and
breeding and education to set her
aloft on high pedestal, she
NAV still make herself COM
mon, it would seem that few words
of warning on this subject might not
be out of place.

x*x
She was one of the old fashioned
mothers, but she kept her eyes open,
and was as observant as the most
fashionable woman in the land. II
wouldn't be hasty, my dear" she
said to the son who was the apple of
her eye, when she saw he was fix
ing his heart on certain young
girl. "She's pretty and graceful, and
all that, but she isn't good to her
mother; and girl that's cross and
neglectful and selfish to her mother
amt going to make anyone good
wife," And the son listened, and
smiled, and went on his way, man
like. Ofcourse he knew better than
his mother, who certainly was
old. fashioned and not up
with the times, in any sense.
Suppose the girl was little impa-
tient toward her mother! Doubtless
the old lady was very provoking
sometimes. These old people were
often very disagreeable. And at any
rate, the girl loved him, and there
would be no unpleasantness between
them, even though she couldn't get
along with her mother. So TIE son
went his way, and married the girl of
his choice. That was several years
ago. Her own mother is dead, and
the daughter had few tears to shed
when she passed away. She has
alienated her husband from the
mother that loves him better than her
own life, so that he does not see
her once year. AS tor him, he has
grown very old within the last few
years. He has a wife, but
between the two there is
no real union of mind
or heart. He has a splendid house,
with not home corner in it. Yes, he
went his way, and it was way that
led out into the desolate regions where
was neither love nor hope to sustain
the weary soul.

bodies in this city is a juvenile battalion
called "Tho Kuickerbocker Grays." 1t
l. composed Of from seventy 10 eighty
boys, ranging in age from eight TO twelve
years. Tho battalion is an exclusive one,
being really private drill class which
was started few years ago by mum
Der of wealthy women who desired that
their sons should have the benefit of ex-
ercise and instruction in the manual Of
arms. The use Of the Seventy first Regi-
ment allnory IS enjoyed by the boys,
through the courtesy Of the officers Of
that regiment, and they drill there on
Monday and Thursday afternoons dur
ing tho winter season. Tho uniform of
tho Knickcrbocker Grays consists Of
gray coat. trousers and cap of regula-
tim pattern, and dark stockings. The
gray garments are neatly trimmed with
black braid. Each member of the Grays
carries a musket with bayonet.

DECORATION DAY.

The loving task of stuying flowers upon
the graves OF those " no died in our coun-
try's cause was performed by loving and
lovable hearts. And as years roll 10y the
greater becomes our venoration for the
noble boys who went TO the front animated
with the heroic feelings OF the ancient
Spartans, of whom every schoolboy and
girl have read so much. The soldiers Of
the Union were mostly youths when they
enlisted, but now they are growing old
and we who are to survive them have a
fondness for them which even they can
scarcely appreciate.
1t is well therefore for the young people
TO feel that the honor OF decorating the
graves ,of the soldiers brings TO them a
pleasure as well rs duty. II is pleasant
TO know that one who has died or riskcd
his life for his country has implanted In
our breasts a desire TO emulate him. IL is
a duty incumbent on us TO perpetuate mis-
memory in all the glory which is a
martyrs need.
We must also remember that the soldiers
OF the war were OF all nationalities, but
of only ono country. There were no
Irishmen, Englishm,n ,scotchmcn, French
or Canadians in the war Of the rebellion,
all were American soldiers. All entered
the army and offered mp their lives Tor the
stars and stripes. No one questioned their
nationality or religion.
That is fundamental basis ON which
we should now continue to build the
remainder of the fabric of This nation. We
should now, az in the troublou5 days Of
war, deny that there is any necessity for
racial or religions differences among
American citizens. We are too great a
people to allow any such mean ideas to
enter our minds.
These anniversaries, like those Of Tho
Revolution and Of later days, should sth
us up. The Cincinnati was formed 10y TIA,
Federalists to perpctuatc their ideas an,
TO glorify the memory of the officers o
the Revolution. The Tammany Sociot.
was formed by Jefiersonian Democrats q
about the same time 20 perpctuato TIA
ideas OF Democracy among the rank an,
file OF the followers of Thomas Jefferson
who were a.so the supporters OF the Revo
lutionary struggle. Both have thoi
spheres Of action. They differ in detail
OF government, but all unite in one thing
and that is to prove that each is the bette
lover OF America.
