ABOUT FARM WORK.
The Most DiGnifcd Pursuit in Which
Young Wan Can Engage.


II is n queer commentary on the state
of affairs that while hundreds of thou
sands Of men are idle and half starry
ing IN cur cities. the farmers of the
country are crying for help to do the
necessary work on their farms. In
many localities il is impossible to get
farm help At prices that would have
been considered large five years ago.
1t is possible that we are nearing a
time when farming will be looked up
on a. 4 mental pursuit which sclf-rc
spcctirr men Will not engage IN? We
hope not. for when that time comes we
will see the beginning of the end. In
old times the farmer was looked
down upon. and was, in fact. Il slave.
In many countries he could not leave
the manor upon which he was tOrn,
and was subjected to any privations
or indigniticS that the owner of the
land felt like affecting him with.
Then. with civilization. the tillcr of
the soil carrc to he recognized as an
important factor in the prosperity of
ms country, and began to receive more
consideration until within the last
century he has come to the front,
chiefly because of the high place he
has won for himself in our country.
The American farmer won his place as
one who must be recognized as the
cornerstone of prosperity. and from
his success the farmers of all the civil
lied world have profited. 1t is no.
BILE calling, and it is to be hoped that
the workers of our country will never
be so blind to their own interests as to
begin to despise farm work. There
are places on thousands of farm for
men to work at calling that is no
harder than many that are found in
the FORCES and factories of the large
cities, and if every farmer who needs
n hired hand could find one among the
idle masses of the cities, we should
hear much less about suffering there.

A Munchausen-Like Story Of Beheadsd
German Criminal
In an imperial city lately criminal
was condemned to be beheaded who
had singular itching to play at nine
pins. While his sentence was pro-
nOuncing he had the temerity to offer
a request to be permitted to play once
more at his favorite game at the place
of execution, and then, he said, he
would submit without a murmur.
AS the last prayer of dying man his
request was granted. When he arrived
at the solemn spot he found everything
prepared, the pins being set up and the
bowl ready. lie played with no little
carnestness; but the sheriff at length
seeing that he showed no inclination to
desist, privately ordered the execu-
toner to strike the fatal blow as he
stopped for the bowl
The eXecutioner did so and the head
dropped into the culprit's hand as he
raised his head to see what had oc-
Cured; he Immediately aimed at the
nine, conceiving that it was the bowl
which he grasped. All nine falling,
the head loudly exclaimed: II have
won the game"
). A Diet Of Gutta Percha.
Gutta percha doesn't appeal to most
people as an article of diet, but there is
a small. an exceedingly small, subma-
rine animalcule that positively delights
in it. This interesting creature is
called the ''gibble," and it is only real
ly happy while it is browsing on the
gutta purcha that is used for the
sheathing of submarine cables. The
layers of submarine cables are so
afraid diet of gutta percha won't
agree with the gibbles that they are
sheathing the wires with brass. Posi-
bly,. though, their anxiety may not be
so much for the gibble's health as for
the cables safety. On the whole this
does appear to be the more likely sup
position.

AS far as one can judge from the tele-
graphed abstract the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Illinois, annulling the
charter OF the whiskey combination, is
founded on the broad ground that COM
bination to control prices by preventing
competition is illegal. All the trusts are
combinations for such purpose, and all
of them effect it ingthe same manner, that
is, by in one way or another driving out
of business all competition so that they
have complete control of the product and
can put prizes up or down as they see fit.
Hence all the trusts under this doctrine
of the court of Illinois would be illegal
OF course the decisions of the courts of
a state are imperative except within its
own boundaries, yet they, are not entirely
without effect outside The courts of
other states are likely to be influenced by
them somewhat 1t can readily be seen
shat if the doctrine of the Illinois court
should be accepted as sound by the courts
o. other states the whole trust business
would soon come to an end.

This is Western Kansas year of pros
perity, the rainfall having been sufficient
to insure good crops and, as an early
consequence, Jerry Simpson has aban-
dcned his campaign tour of mingled ora
ton and speculation. The people have no
time to attend his meetings now.
jerry is an embodied protest He is
the expression Of popular discomfort In
seasons when the rain docs not fall, or
the grasshoppers are thick, or the crops
fail for any other cause which happens
in Western Kansas about two years in
three. then the farmers have nothing to
do but sit around the grocery stores and
tell each other how unfortunate they are
and how necessary it is that the govern
ment should do something for them. At
such times they are ready to adopt any
crazy proposition and send Jerry to
Washington to advocate it. This state of
things led them to clamor for free silver
because where they have nothing to sell
and everything to buy they want cheap
money to buy with; but this year they
will have crops to sell, and they. natur-
ally, want to sell for gold.

Thirty years ago to-day Gen. Robert
Edward Lee, the great soldier of the Con-
federacy, never greater than in the hour
of the failure of his cause, wrote to Presi-
dent johnson a letter applying for the
benefits of amnesty and restoration to his
civil rights as citizen of the United
States.
Johnson's proclamation of general am
nesty had been issued on May 80. Sixteen
classes of persons were specifically exclud-
ed. Lee was excluded not only because
he was West Pointer and had been a
military officer of the Confederate Gov
eminent ranking higher than Colonel,
but also because he belonged to the thir-
tenth class excepted, namely, those per-
sons who had voluntarily participated in
the rebellion, and the value Of whose tax
able property was over $40, 600. The am
nesty proclamation OF May 30, 1865, pro-
vided, however, that special application
for pardon might be made by any person
belonging to the classes excepted; and
Gen. Lee therefore wrote the subjoined
letter:
Richmond, Va, June 13, 1866.
His Exc'y, Andrew johnson,
President of the United States.
Sir: Being excluded from the provis-
ions OF amnesty contained in the procla-
nation of the Goth ult., l hereby apply
for the benefits, and full restoration of
all rights and privileges, extended to
those included in it's terms.

The copy we have of this document is
attested by Gen George Washington
Custis Lee, the eldest son of the great
Confederate Commander; and Gen G.
W. G. Lee adds this highly interesting
historical note concerning his father
motives in making SO promptly an appli-
cation to President johnson for amnesty
when Gen. Lee requested ME to make
a copy of this letter to President johnson,
he remarked 1t was but right for him
to set an example of making formal sub
mission to the Civil Authorities; and that
he thought. by so doing, he might posi-
bly, be in a better position to be of use to
the Confederates who were not protected
by military paroles; especially Mr.. Davis
&C. W. G. Lee"
In laying to-day before our readers and
the public Gen. Robert e. Lees applica-
ton for pardon, and his own declaration
of the motives prompting him to one of
the most heroic acts of life full of hero
ism, The Sun feels that it is adding lustre
to noble fame which is constantly grow
ing as the years past, and which is justly
appreciated and generally priced in the
North, as well as in the South.

The Spanish minister's remark that no
such thing as a rebellion would be heard
of in Cuba were it not for the Cuban
sympathizers in this country may be in
a measure true. Without some aid from
exiled Cubans in this country an insur-
rection would be too hopeless task to
undertake. Nevertheless at the bottom of
the troubles in the island are not the
Vaccinations OF Cubans in this country
but the barbarous rule of the Spaniards.
The Cubans are Systematically plundered
partly for the benefit of the home govern
ment and partly for the benefit of the
officials sent out to rule over them. They
are taxed and prosecuted into instruction.
Spain has tried massacre and the most
barbarous punishments as a means of
crushing out the rebellious spirit but
without success. Decent government such
as England gives Canada, would doubt
less soon pacify the great mass of the
population, but Spain is incapable of
governing well.
