DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

AN EXchange says. pt IS pieaSaDL to know that the South has learned the lessons of business so well, and applied them so faithfully at the right place, that when commercial distrust is mak- ing record of failures and bankrup- cies elsewhere, comparatively few dis asters of the kind are reported from the South. This cannot be because little was ventured, for there has been activity in great variety of enter prises at the South. It must be be- cause the South, under the same un- favorable circumstances that applied to the West aud Northwest, has had the prudence to hold credits sufficient ly in check to keep herself solid and solvent" We rather think the pros perity of the South. especially of Ark ansas, is due as well to her natural fertility and produetiveness, and her abundant resources; but how on earth can the people of this country expect to continne to prosper if they buy every thing which is used or consumed here from some other state or country. With the finest timber and dirt we i'm port lumber and brick for houses, all kinds of wagons and other vehicles and furniture by the carloads. With grazing lands where hogs and cattle fatten without the use of other feed stuffs, we import nearly all of our meat. With prolific corn raising land carload after carload of corn and meal is shipped ill here from other points. With the finest cotton producing sol every piece of cotton cloth used in the on earth and lots of cotton, we impoY, country. With thousands of tons of cotton seed in convenient distance, We ship our cotton seed to other markets and buy them back for feedstuffS fol our milch COWS and stock With eli mate and soil to produce two crops ol the finest Irish potatoes that were ever raised anywhere, lots of potatoes art purchased abroad. With the most pro ductiye land on cath for all kinds o1 grasses, thousands of bales of hay art imported and sold at high prices. The cereals are grown successfully by few enterprising planters, but there are nc iiouring mills, and millions of barrels of flour have been imported, and oats for feed are bought elsewhere. We coulC continue down this column enumerat ing the things we buy abroad whicl we can. and ought to produce at home and sell to outsiders. Until we do so. we stand in our own light, and con tinual drain, so large, will even, tually dry up this wonderfully blessed country.

self-mastery has first been gained; for all the
other qualities of character which we have
studied depend upon self-cOntrOl to make them
fully effective. In the schOOlrOOm, self-cOntrOl
makes one able to apply himself earnestly to his
lessons whenever is necessary, stops idle dream
ing and wishing instead of hard work, whenever
a hard task is assigned: checks a 1ippant word
or saucy answer and makes the whole life of the
schOOl-room smoother and happier. In social
life sef-cOntrol is the mark of culture. The saw
age and the boor are wholly unrestrained in ac-
ton; all their whims and tempers are given free
play; but if we wish to be ladies and gentlemen
we must keep firm control over ourselves and
check all inclination to rude imposition of our
ways upon those whom we meet. In business
life, sef-controis one of the greatest implements
of success. He who has complete mastery of
his temper, his tongue, his actions, has already
solved many of the veXng problems of business
life and has paved the way for complete attain
ment of his aims.-H. c. McDOugdl in Unity.

Where Lies the Blame?

The vulgar brute, known as John l.. Sullivan
has distinguished himself by attacking one arm
ed man in Bangor. Maine. He was arrested and
fined, for either of which he cares nothing. What
ought to be done with man like that. and we
hope our readers will excuse us for calling him a
man. is to put him on stone pile and make him
earn his living for the next three hundred and
sixty five days. Perhaps by that time he would
be decent enough to go abroad. We wish it to
be understood that we do not exclusively blame
John L. Sullivan for his brutality and his savag-
ism. We lay the serious charge at the door of
this country for making hero out of him, while
he went from city to city on this continent max
ing brute of himself. While Sullivan and Cor
bett fought in New Orleans, the great noble, low
ing Whittier died. In Minneapolis and ST. Paul
the daileS devoted from twelve to twenty-fOur
columns each, to the brutal fight and drunken
brawl at New Orleans and they devoted from
two to four inches, single column. to the death
of one of Americas greatest poets. Is it not an
arch disgrace, that he who helped to make our
literature respectable in the eyes of the world,
should be little appreciated, that at his death
the great dailies of the continent supposed to re-
fleet public opinion, give but few meagre inches
of space to an account of his departure? Is it not
humiliating beyond all possibility of calculation,
that they devoted the space to which we above re-
ferred to fight between two disreputable men,
whose business is to play the brute within the
ring? Sullivan is product of society and he
illustrates the depravity yet in our civilization
His career points us to our weakness, and we
should be wise enough to strengthen ourselves
where we are so lacking .-P2Ogressire Age

Essentials of Character.

One of the greatest achievements that person
can seek is complete mastery of himself Only
when he has acquired selfcOntrOl can he be of
great service to himself and to others. fine,
strong and spirited horse is of great value when
he is under good control, but worthless while un
tanned and unframed; so a person with fine quail
ties of character and we'll stored mind is of great
value when he has all his powers of heart, mind
and temper under strict control, but is of very
little value if he continually let's temper or pas
sion get control of him. The engine in the factO
ry must be so governed that its power is steadily
and evenly carried over the belts to the machines
which do the work. If at times it runs very fast
and then almost stops running it becomes worth
less or dangerous; SO, too, the much more deli
cate and valuable engine of the human soul must
be kept under good control or it will become
worthless or dangerous. Self-cOntrOl may be OBJ
tanned by practicing quick obedience to the COM
mandS of conscience, by a resOute - will, when
some duty is before you, by an equally emphatic
Il won't" when some temptation besets you; by
always restraining the cross word. the unkind
remark. the laugh of derisiOn; by always taking
time to think before action. Few of us are good
enough to act well without first thinking, and
the cOmmOneSt excuse for wrong actions is.
among young people, 81 did MT think" 1t is
thinking is to initiate animals. Never excuse a
wrong action by saying you have quick temper.
That is a cOwardly and weak eXcuse-control
your temper and it will serve you well; yield
weakly to it and it may ruin your whole life. Self
control seems at first only to mean continual
battles with temper and inclnatiOns, but the
battles, well fought and won, at last bring a
sense of mastery which is one of the great joys
of life, power to do and bear which is of exceed
ing great value. No one can see the best of life
who has not acquired that freedom which comes
with self-contro for sefcOntrOl is like the COVER
nor of steam engine which enables it always to
run steady and true. In the home. self-contrOl
enables us, at all times, to serve those we love
with the best of all we have. If we have it, our
plans for good to them will not be broken by
temper or selfshness coming in to mar them

THE G.. A. r. AND MEMORIAL DAY.
paper for Glass C. by H. H. s.


Memorial Day is a day set apart in memory of
the citizen soldiers of this republic who died on
the field of battle Wherever a soldiers grave
is known to be. from the extreme north to the
extreme south. or from the far east to the far
decorate it with the first flowers of spring Look
ing back thirty two years ago to-day, we see the
gathering of that mighty host from the north
and the south, that wrote the story of the civil
war in blood; civil war without parallel in an
cient or modern times. We, of to-day can hardly
understand the effect of war; the immense immi-
grafton of the flower of European manhood to
our shores having replaced time and again the
loss the United States sustained in life and prop
erty. But to those who lost fathers, brothers,
or comrades, the war is yet wildly before them.
To Chaplain Rutledge. and Surgeon Stephenson.
formerly of the 14th Illinois, belongs the honor
of first advancing the idea of brotherhood, which
is represented by the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie; being in position to see the worst side of war,
viz: in the field hospitals, they could but SYM
pathiZe with those who suffered and died so
herOicay; and knowing that many men, and the
widows and orphans of those who had fallen
would need assistance in the future, also were
aware, that by organization, and that alone,
could the necessary assistance be rendered.
They with few comrades met in March, 1866,
and formed provisional organization in Fra
ternity, Charity and Loyalty Stephenson was
elected provisional cOmmander-in-chief. On the
9th day of April the first post was organized at
Decatur. Ill. The first national encampment
was held at indianapolis Ind. Gen. Hurlbut
being elected commander in chief, and Stephen
son, Adiutant General. At the next encamp-
ment Gen. John A. Logan was elected to succeed
Gen. Hurlbut, and during the period of his ad-
ministration the beautiful custom of observing
Memorial Day was inaugurated by a general
order. Through the influence of the G. A. R.
Memorial Day has been made a holiday in most
of the States of the Union; day to perpetuate
the memory OF our comrades. who sleep in SOL
dier's graves; to teach patriotism and loyalty to
our children and to the community wherein we
reside, and to encourage the spread of universal
liberty and equality of rights.
