Washington.

At this time, while the praises of
Washington, the patriot, the soldier,
and the statesman, are being heard on
every side, the causes leading to it are
tit subjects for thoughtful considera-
tio1.
The name of Washington Is honored
now. The day of his birth is ceIebrat-
ed throughout the nation. Wherever
Americans live the name of Washing
ton is spoken with admiration and re-
spect. 1t was not always so.
There was time when it was de-
spised, held in contempt, because he
dared by word and act to hold that
laws of the government under which
he lived. were unjust and unfair to the
whole people.
He lacked the idolatry of veneration
to whatever was written law He re-
cognized the higher law. the law of
humanity, of universal equity. of ma
ture, and of liberty: the essentials of
true patriotism. He was man of the
people, of the Peoples party of his
day. an anarchist of his time, rebel
among rebels, who are called patriots
now.
Turn back the pages of history to
that period of revolt just previous to
the American revolution. Observe the
tyrannies, the claim set forth by ma
joriLy of so-called aristocracy of blood,
the kingly preference in their behalf,
tending to luxurance on one side and
poverty on the other; the scOrn of the
kingly crowd for the great masses of
the people whose rights were ignored
and equity lost sight of, the indigni-
ties practiced in the name of the law,
God and religion, until the voice of the
people was Enthusiastically heard

InfeIIieent Farmers.


OF all the men on earth the farmer
should be the most intelligent. No
men have such opportunities. That
the farmer should be a slave is nom
sense. That he can be is without de-
NAL. He can make it the dirtiest,
most slovenly vocation on earth and
in fact thousands do so. Their houses
and lands and tenements show it.
How often do we see fences over-run
with weeds, and made crooked as zig
gag tightening by wind and storm and
left from year TO year without mend
ing. Houses left Imprinted and hogs
and vermin swaIming over all. The
occupants are dirty and dingy, with
hair unkept and clothes that have
never seen fresh water unless acct
IDENTIFY caught out in the rain. Such
men are not farmers but slouches and
land destrOYers and are but one step
in advance of the savage. The better
class of farmers are pushing these fell
lows to the rear The cosiest home
we ever beheld was on the farm. The
owner was Il man of brains who pos
sessed a wife of unusual intelligence.
A family of six children grew up
around them, three boys and three
girls. He had quarter section of
land from which they CLEANED enough
to satisfy their wants. Their house
was IL model of neatness and yard full
of roses and shrubbery made it attrac-
tive to its inmates as well us the pas
ser by. The fields, barns and out
buildings were kept up in the best OF
shape. Every one that saw, admired
and almost coveted it. Books and pa
pers from the best talent in the land
was to be seen on the tables and book
shelves of this little earthly paradise.
Economy was one of the household
words in this little domicile. The
children were taught obedience and
the mother was queen over all. The
father took pride in his family of boys
and girls and provided for their wants.
The best instruction was given them
The farm, the children, the whole sur.
roundings showed the master mind
that controlled. 1t was little heaven
on earth. No desire was greater in
that lovely home than to gain COM
petence sufficient to enable them to
clothe themselves we'll and educate
their children in the most useful walks.
This, to this happy farmer and wife
was their highest ambition. Such a
home far transcends that of broad
acres, gilded palaces, or princely tort.
unes. Compare with the costly pala.
tial residence where nothing but the
love of gain abounds and ask your
selves which are the richer, or which
you would prefer.
