AP;casant Refusal.

It's not every one who knows how to
couch a refusal in such courteous, del
icate and altogether lovely way that the
one who made the request which could not
be granted is as pleased in one way as she
would have been in another, could she
have had what she asked.
But the other day it happened that
somebody asked certain favor Of a well
known and very popular young society
wcman-a favor quite impossible for her
to grant-and this is what she answered:
nBut one has to make rule. am sure
you will understand it and know that !
regret that you did not ask me something
that might have the pleasure OF doing. I"
Could anything be prettier or better
adapted to completely offset the disap-
pointment of being refused!- Boston Her

Brilliancy Does Not Last.

Concerning public speakers, it is death
to attempt to sparkle too often or too long.
Even the electric eel can deliver but linn
tied number of shocks in succession till he
has recovered. To excite him to more is
fatal. Too profuse expenditure of vitality
leads men to resort to stimulants. Many,
having weakened their nerve force by ir-
regular hours of study, excessive demon
STATIONS in public and unwillingness to
be ordinary when they cannot be extraor-
binary, have resorted to drugs.

Want is bitter and hateful good
Because its virtues are not understood,
Yet many things impossible to thought
Have been By need to full perfection brought.

Prudence at once and fortitude it gives,
And IL in patience taken mends our lives

an agent in each county, as suggest
ed by one of our correspondents who
might sell the entire crop of that
county. Now the farmers rush their
wheat in and compete with each 9th
The parent association could es-
tablish branches in other states,
where desired.
1t could also designate, upon the
recommendation of county alliances,
er to break down prices. Then all
such competition would cease, and
the buyers would have to compete
with each other to get the wheat or
go without. If the buyers in any
county combined and refused to bid,
the central society at Minneapolis
would have been negotiating with
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Buff
falo, New York and Liverpool, to
find the highest prices obtainable;
and could ship accordingly, leaving
the local buyers in the lurch If the
movement was made general we
could smash all the "bears'' and COP
tion Dealers in the United States,
by flooding the market or starving
it, as might seem best.
Two things would be necessary.
]. Honesty in agents..
2. Common sense in the grain
growers. If we attempted to put
wheat too high we would smash the
movement.

tion and let us talk these things all
over. Come by trains, and teams
and on fOot-but come.

THE GRAIN GROWERS.
The Farmers in Convention Will
Defend Themselves.

In the foregoing will be found a
call for Grain Growers Convention.
to be held shortly in Minneapolis.
This is the most important move
ment for the farmers ever made in
the Northwest. 1t will, we hope,
constitute the beginning of new
epoch. Heretofore the agricultural
class has been at the mercy of those
who prey upon it. The farmers were
scattered, isolated, divided; while
their enemies were united in solid
phalanx. Let us get together and
see what can be done to put stop to
this condition Of things. 1t may be
we will be able to do nothing. But
at least the cause is worth an effort.
What can be done?
Many valuable suggestions have
been made by correspondents of the
REPRESENTATIVE. Suppose some
thing like this should be attempted?
The REPRESENTATIVE has an Of
fee in the Boston Block, Mime
apolis. We could give desk room in
it, free of charge, until the ex-
pertinent proved success.
Then at our Convention let all who
attend chip in what they can afford,
from ten cents to five dollars:-that
money to be used to pay the expen-
ses of an agent-a Secretary-who will
stay in Minneapolis; also to pay for
stationery, printing, and postage.
Let the Secretary agree to work for
month or two without charge, save
his expenses, and after that to have
a reasonable salary. Then let the
convention elect a Board of Man
ayers, under whose orders the Secre-
tary should work.
Then let the Secretary send out
circulars to every local alliance, and
ask It to assemble and report:
1. Are it's members willing to or
ganize for self-protection?
2. Will they agree to sell their
wheat through the Association, if
the price is satisfactory?
3. Give the names and postoff1ce
of members, and the amount of acres
each one will have in wheat; and the
dates at which they will probably de-
sire to sell; and what proportion Of
their crop they will want to sell at
those dates.
4. Are they willing to pay ] cent
per bushel, on the amount sold
through the Association, if it is evi
dent that the price has been raised
at least that much, through the ef-
forts of the Association; the money
to be expended in paying the expen-
ses of the society; and, il any is left,
in renting or building an elevator or
warehouse at Duluth.

President Eliot. of Harvard Unfver-
sity, Thinks the Rich Glass Will

President Eliot, of Harvard Univer-
stty, Thinks the Rich Class Will
Increase. a4s
Yet we are going to have rich men,
believe and richer men than ever. The con-
tinuous development of very rich men is
a necessary consequence Of the freedom
and the equality before the law that we all
propose to enjoy. l do not believe that any
legislative body or any social philosopher
can prevent the coming up of rich men,
unless we all agree that will no longer
attempt to enjoy entire freedom and per-
feet equality before the law. Given the
freedom, the natural money getters will
get their chance. Therefore I do not be-
lieve that any method Of distribution, or
even dissipation of wealth, will succeed in
preventing in this country the constant
rise of very rich men. Moreover, do we
not all see in this country a new condition
of things, which tends to the preservation
of rich class? When I was a boy, it was
not the custom, among the generation pre-
ceding mine, to secure property to women
when they were .ried; it was not the
custom to settle estates women and
minors. The agencies to secure the faith
full execution of such trusts were hardly
created But now there are many agencies
for the execution of just such trusts
mostly new within 30 years In conse-
quence, it is a good deal easier than 1t
used to be to keep safe money once made,
or the money which the creator of a
great property has transmitted to his chill
dren. And this safety in keeping is going
to increase. That is one of the results of
a more perfect civilization This means a
great deal morally, it means fidelity and
carefulness, and the power to procure
this fidelity and careful ability in the inter-
est of persons incompetent themselves to
preserve great estates. That is going to be
more and more possible in our country,
and therefore going to see, in my
Judgment more and families in
which wealth is transmitted. I look, there
fore, for no decrease in the rich class, but
rather for its increase.-President c. W..
Eliot. Fer
