1t may not be the popular thing

1T may not be the popular thing
to say, but is nevertheless true,
that much of the hard times for
many individuals of the present
day lies in their desire to have the
Government, or somebody else,
provide a living for them. The
self-reliant, energetic, Independent
man has made a living or more
right along through the hard times,
while the fellow who curses the
Government because il won't give
him a lift, or complains that some
body is robbing him (of what he
never possessed), suffers. There
was a time in good old Democratic
days when men depended ON their
own exertions for prosperity, toiled
upcomplainingly for an average OF
wages lower than the wages of to.
day and got on nicely in worldly
way. There is nothing so destruc.
tive of hard times as Independent
industry, a courageous heart, and
an eye open to the main chance.

Frederick A. Meredith, for nine years
managing editor Of the Denver Neps,
has retired to become farmer in Mis-.
souri.-Optic.
Must be something wrong when
a Populist editor quits the news
paper to go to farming. Is it
possible that it is a myth about
the farmer being the victim of all
oppression and viciousness in high
places and his the only poor busi-
ness on earth?

THE Mexican Government an
nounces its readiness to permit the
coinage of Mexican dollars at the
United States mints, provided this
country will allow them to coin
its dollars in their mints. AS
American dollars are worth nearly
twice as much as Mexican dollars,
this proposition shows that our
southern neighbors are quite
bright bargain drivers.

SOCIALISM AND PUBLIC, SERVICE.

As an argument for State Socialism,
r. T, Ely says in a current number of
one Of the magazines that the, uniform
OF the Government is an honor, while
that of private service is looked upon as
degrading. He thinks that public serv-
ice-that is, office -holding-makes men
great, aud he says that private service
never could have given us Washington
or Lincoln"
The desire to hold Office is so generally
prevalent that Socialism ms to have
it's strongest argument in the hope it
raises in the minds of some that when
the Government owns everything it will
employ everyone, and give ever yone an
Office of honor and profit.
! leaving that aside, it is worth while to
inquire by what right Socialists say that
the livery of the Government, worn by q
private soldier or Major General is
more honorable than that of private ser.
vice worn by brakeman or railroad
conductor?
In Switzerland office holders are looked
upon with sort of good natured con-
tempt as men unable or unfit to live in
Independence. 1t is said that much the
same feeling is manifested toward them
by the better classes in some of the can
tons that is generally felt for house serv-
dhts. They are not to be treated un-
kindly, but they are not to be looked up
to, y
Whether such an attitude toward Of
foe holders is to be justified or not, it is
certain that the man who can keep out OF
professional office-holding would better
do so. Public service is one thing, and
every human being in the community
from the age of three years to eighty
ought to be doing more or less for the,
public service. But office holding and
drawing the money OF the taxpayers is
quite another thing. The temptation in
making it an occupation is to become a
member Of favored class--a parasite on
the community, giving in public Office q
less return IN service for the same COM
pensation than what would be given in
private employment.
Every man should understand, as q
duty Of citizenship, the getting and the
administration of office. No man should
allow the seeking of Office to become his
main object in ife.-St. Louis Republic

The Ne,o MeGicdn is O good paper, but
it's management ought to tame the wild
imagination OF the genius who presides
over its Territorial news department. A
few days ago he had the people OF this
town in turmoil OF excitement over
gold find at Gran Quivera. This was
news to the inhabitants OF White Oaks.
True, there was II report that gold had
been found near there, and number of
men visited the place. But the same
thing has been reported before and men
have been talking all winter of going and
several had gone at different times.
Many Others will go later; ;but the princi-
pal attraction for the great majority is the
mysterious old ruins, hitherto hard to
reach on account of the absence OF water.
II there was any excitement here it was
OF mild character and limited to a
very small proportion Of the population.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 1.-THE Duval
Athletic Club has gone step further in
its efforts to bring off the CorbetG and
Mitchell contest by securing license for
the boxing match. which the city was
obliged to issue under the new ordinance
passed several days ago. The license was
taken out by Harry Mason, President of
the Duval Club, to-day, on behalf of Cor
bekt and Mitchell. 1t provides for glove
contest or exhibition of skill in boxing,
with NCorbett and Mitchell as principals,
to take place at the fair grounds build
ing in Fairfield, suburb of Jackson
vile. ora Thursday, January p, 1894, a
fee of $50 being paid, provided that all
other conditions embraced in the pro-
visions Of the ordinance regulating exhi-
bitions of skill in boxing and glove con-
tests sfiaI De COMPLIED Win IN all re-
spects.
The license for the boXing-match be-
tween the mfddle-weights Harris and
Wilkins, which will take place next
Monday night, was also issued.
Adjutant-Genera Houston, commander
of the Florida National Guard, who has
been in Jacksonville in consultation with
the local militia officers in regard to TAX
ing steps to prevent the fight, refuses to
make any statement as to what the Gov
eraor's plans are in regard to the matter.
The local militia will refuse to turn out
should they be ordered TO do so to pre-
vent the contest, and the situation re-
mains as before.
In interviews tonight with the officials
of the club, they say that they are un-
shaken in their belief that the contest
will come off as advertised.
