people who are teaching their children
to speak, read and write English.
Keep in mind this saying Of Senator
Jones, of Nevadas The world cannot
wait for the correct ion of abuses by those
who are prof1ting by them. In the ma
ture of things all movements for reform
must be initiated by those who cannot
lose by the installation of justice.
An exchange relates that an official
who had been criticised by a local editor
| applied to an eminent lawyer who was
noted for his good sense to know how he
| sho uld 80 to work to break up the paper.
! He was advised to buy the paper and run
it for six months, and was charged $5 for
the advice.
Some time ago Mr.. L. A. Couch father,
Mr.. G. 81. Cosch. of drelton, Ohio, was
badly injured by being ja,nrhed between
a barn and . wagon that was entering
the barn. His shoulder blade and tn rec
ribs were broken. Although he is II
years old and very slight, weighing not
more than Ito pounds, L. A. has just re-.
ceived the gratifying intelligence that the
old gentlem.n's recovery is assured.
II Charlie Allen was q sojourner in Will.
iamsport for . week, up to yesterday,
when he departed for the river, where he
| will again take up his work of chopping
logs and legs. Charlie had his leg cut a
second time, about ten days ago, in q
very peculiar manner. He struck two.
edged ak into the end of log and left II
sticking there. As he was passing by
the ak was expelled with force by the &C.
tion of the frost and cut Charlie just be-
low one of his knees.
The chool.district election on the ques.
tien of moving the Fielden schoolhouse
further south seems to be a plain business
proposition. The patrons living in prox.
unity to the proposed site claim enough
pupils to entitle them to schoolhouse
and as new building would cost several
hundred dollars, while it is estimated tina,
the old one can be moved for hundreds
it would seem that removal is best for the
patrons and best for the taxpayers, par
ticularly as there seems to be no adverse
interest to be sacrificed.
1t is we'll not to lose sight of the fact
that the people occupying the new lands
Of the west are growing up with the coun
try. Slow as the growth may seem, it il
nevertheless sure. Year by year the pub.
lie domain is growing smaller and smaller,
and when at length it is exhausted
land values will be forced upward just ..
surely as water in creek is forced to a
higher level when its onward course il
stopped by a dam across the stream. The
stream of population keeps pouring into
this country, and when its onward west
ward course is stopped we will feel the
effects of the backwater in denser pop,
ulation and greater demand for land
The profits from our farms lie not al.
together in what We produce on them, but
partly in the fact that from the very ma
ture Of events the lands must increase in
value.--Dakota Farmer.
The difference between ancient and
modern governments, Says an editorial in
q Minneapolis paper, is that the voice Of the
people is heard in modern times, whereas
in ancient Greece and Rome and the
Orient, except In their pristine pioneer
days, government was absolutely in the
hands of few autocrsts. The medium
through which the people In modern
times obtain knowledge of the acts Of
their servants, voice their sentiments, and
MAINTAIN their censorship, is the public
press. And the Record will add to the
foregoing that q newspaper that is fearlesl
enough to criticise and comment upon
the acts Of public servants, regardless oi
loss of public patronage in so doing, gen
orally comes out all right in the end.
A newspaper editor who, through fear Of
personal injury or loss Of official patron
