Says an exchange: The rawlings
and rantings of editors who claim
that they are not appreciated in the
community where the paper is pub
lisLed, whose piteous appeals fcy
patronage week after week and mon h
after month go side by size with 1e-
nunciation and abuse of all those who
differ in the slightest degree with
their preconceived opinions of what
is right in morals or politics, are unx
worthy of the notice of respectable
journalists. Editors of this kind are
destitute of the common courtesies
and civilities of life. Their jaundiced,
dyspeptic, jealous-hearted souls are
SO bound and wrapped up in theip
sublime egotism that it is really
amusing to listen to their bellowings
against people SO far superior to
them that no comparison could bs
made.

Oh, what night for a soul to go!
The wind hawk, and the fields in snow;
No screening cover of leaves in the wood,
Nor star abroad the way to show.
Do they part in peace-soul with its clay
Tenant and landlord, what do they say!
Was it sigh of sorrow or of release
l heard just now as the face turned gray?
What it, aghast on the shoreless main
Of Eternity, it sought again
The shelter and rest of the Isle of Time,
And knocked at the door of it's house of pain
On the tavern hearth the embers glow,
The laugh is deep, and the fagons low,
But without, the wind and the trackless sky,
And night at the gates where soul would go

A prudent man practices economy
for wise purposes, one Of which is to
educate his children. No other object
is permitted to take precedence Of
this. No matter if he loses in specus
lation, by failure of creditors to pay.
or by misdirected efforts OF himself.
as long as he can raise the means his
children will reap the benefits of his
labor in advantages for mental im<
provement. This is the proper thing
to do. No father should do less. The
same duties rest with the state. Il
is no argument against providing lib.
orally for public education, that the
state is short Of cash. She has re.
sources, and if our Legislators havs
public spirit our educational instituu
tions will not sufer.-1eras Farm

Globe-Democrat: It is well to dis
miss all dark thoughts and entertain
only bright ones. We cannot effect
a complete restoration Of our former
prosperity in sudden way, or after
come by degrees, here little and

the process Of material improvement

The SECRET OF SUCCESS. The eldes
Dlsraeli said that the secret Of al
success consists in being master 81
your subject, such mastery being
gained by continued application.
Some years ago there was living iR
a certain town boy named Thomas,
In his studies he had to work hard.
but he never left lesson unmastered.
If he had not been able to finish
a task with his class, he would, when
the time came to recite, frankly ac-
knowledge that he knew nothing of
that lesson, not having yet perfected
the previous one. This habit of con.
tinuing at one thing until he had
mastered it followed him through
life, and he became the redoubtabls

severence under difficulties,

A healthy, wholesome public senti.
ment is the most potent Of all factors
in securing fair and impartial en-
forcement Of the laws. Such senti.
ment is absolutely essential to such
an enforcement of the law. It is this
sentiment we need, and not new laws.
What is the use of more laws so long
as those we have are not enforced?--r
The laws will never be enforced as
long as public sentiment conniyes al
and applauds the failures of courts
and juries to enforce and yendicats
the law. The right sort OF public
sentiment and not more statutes il

There is urgent call from all parts
of the State for some reform in our
criminal code that will enable courts
to administer criminal law with at
least a semblance of justice. The
antiquated jury system that requires
q unanimous verdict to convict, and
the grounds of appeal are so numer-
GUS and nonsensical, that justice is
only meted to those who are without
money or Influence to secure the
services of "eminent counsel" The
wealthy or influential criminal has,
