An ascetic individual remarked
the other day that the people Of
this country had nothing to return
thanks for. This Is q bit of sour
ness and ungratefulness that no
lover of God, country and home
should indulge in. We have both
peace and plenty in the land. Let
us return thanks to Almighty God
for them. Our troubles we have
brought on ourselves; let us bear
our own responsibility, and not add
to our sins by charging them upon
Jehovah.

Baton Rouge Truth says that
Gov. Foster is being urged upon
to call an extra session of the Leg
islature for the purpose of passing
''stay law" to help the farmers
and local merchants tide over the
hard times brought about by the
extremely low price of cotton.
This law would be to protect far
mers from the seizure and sale of
their property for debt, until a time
when things will be easier. It is
also proposed to extend the law to
protect local merchants from the
immediate demands of the commits
sion houses, the law to expire by
limitation.

Now, then, remember that you
have to work, whether you handle
a pick or q pen, a wheelbarrow or
set OF books, digging bitches or
editing paper, ringing an auction
bell, or writing funny things, you
must work. If you look around,
you will see that the men who are
most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men who
have worked the hardest. Don't
be a fraid of killing yourself with
work. 1t is beyond your power to
do that Men can not work SO
hard as that while on the sunny
side of thirty. They die sometimes,
but it is because they quit work at
6 and don't get home until 2 q. m.
It's the interval that kills. Work
gives an appetite for meals, it lends
solidity to your slumbe-s, it gives
appetite and appreciation of a holt
day. There are young men who do
not work, but the world is not
proud of them. It does not know
even their names, it simply speaks
of them as old So-and-so's boys.
Nobody likes them, nobody hates
them, the great busy world doesen't
even know that they are here. So
find out what you want to be and
do, take of your coat and make q
dust in the world. The buster you
are the less deviltry you will get
into, the sweeter will be your sleep,
the brighter and happier your hol-
idays, and the better satisfied will
the world be with you.-Humane
Herald.

Governor Fishback, of Arkansas,
in answer to an invation to join the
silver party to be organized at st.
Louis, wrote a letter to A. j. War
ner, chairman of the Bimetallic

we can ever secure free and unlim-

Our National Menace.

We do not take much stock in
Mr.. W. s. Parkerson, in his Sugo-
Politico- Republico speech-making,
as rule, but he gave utterance to
one sentence in his late Boston adj
dress that we can subscribe to with
free assent, viz:
81 mean to say that If this coun-
try shall continue to count for any,
thing, we, the people of the United
States, must direct all our efforts,
all our attention to the shutting
out of this terrible Immigration
that is pouring in upon our shores.
/ do not want any man to under
stand me to be opposed to the en-
trance of the proper people into
our land, but the facts are that we
are not getting the proper people
any more, and we are being delug-
ed by the horde of outlaws. That
thing must stop if we want to build
up in this country a citizenship
which shall stand through all the
ages"
