Wanted-Some Patience.


The present spring OF 1895, there
is manifest more Of a spirit of unrest
and discomfort among people in the
western states than there has been
Tor several years. This sentiment is
not local. 1t is wide spread and eff
fects nearly all the western and south
ern states. People are looking and
longing for some place to 60 to bet
ter their condition. What caused
this spirit of unrest? 1t may safely
be attributed to the panic and gen
eral Industrial and financial depres-
sion OF the past two years. AS this
was general all over the country,
wherein would be the benefit of II re-
moval from one place to another?
That is n fact which must confront
anyone who stops to seriously think
OF the matter. Many OF course will
imagine us usual that the grass looks
n little greener some other place than
in their own immediate vicinity, but
it is all an illusion.
Panics and consequent hard times
come and go adOwn the ages. They
Are as regularly followed by seasons
OF prosperity. The man who at
tempts to dodge them by periodical
removal from one place to another,
is simply wasting this life, in chas-
ing a phantom.
The ups and downs of life must be
taken as they come; local dissatis-
faction exists everywhere. 1t is fu-
tile to attempt to flee from it. And
where one man does so and succeeds,
twenty will be worse off than they
we're in their own home. AS q rule,
there is but one benefit from removal
and that is in some instances, a re-
newal of energy in the individual, an
infusion of new life into his actions.
That, however, car be done just as
well by a determined effort where he
is at rs in some other place.
The philosopher teaches us, that
life is largely what we make it, Ind
that discomfort and happiness comes
from within the individual. This is
amply demonstrated by the exper-
fence of people in all walks OF life,
high or low, with little regard to cir
cumstances by which they are sur
rounded. So in the present season
of unrest and discomfort, the Press
believes the one attribute most in
need OF cultivation in the human
breast is patience. Time will straight
en- things out just as it has hundreds
of times before. The seed time is
with us, and the harvest will come.
Renew your energy and push ahead.
Shake off that discomfort, and be
patient!
