Equality the Ideal of Society.

The ideal of society is equality,
because to the moro enlightened and
to all in their moro enlightened mo-
ments inequality is irksome and Of
fensive. You can have no pleasure
of the man you look up to or the
man you look down on. The thing
is impossible. Your soul is always
seeking the level of your compan-
ions, and society formulates and ex-
presses this instructive desire for
equality. The prince, the distin-
guished person, if he is gentleman,
will do his best to efface your differ
ence when he meets you in society,
and it will be your fault or your
misfortune if you cannot let him do
so. He will not ask you to be a snob
or o toady. Inequality bores him;
he is glad to get rid of it, and this
is the mood of all good society. The
better society is the more it shuns
formality and socks ease and free
dom. The aristocrats, the highest
equals, call zach other by their first
names, their nicknames, when they
are by themselves as the plebeians
Equality as the Basis of Good
Society" by w. D. Howells, in Cen
fury.

When the frost is on the windows,
and the kitchen pail is froze; when
the little icy needles come with
every breath that blows: when
chilblains make US sick and cold
feet give us pain it's safe to bet we
all wish for summer again. tor
while we sweat and fume around in
summer clothes; it is an easy thing
to cool off, as everybody knows.
But it's different in the winter,
when the world is full of ice, and
the weather is as hard to beat as o
pair of loaded dice. We may talk
about our climate and about our
spring and fall, but the balmy days
Of summer are the days that suits us

LINCCLN'S EDUCATION.

Had to Master

Had to Master.
With all this hard living and hard
work Lincoln was getting in this
period desultory kind of educa-
ton, Not that he received much
schooling. He went "by Titles. -
He says, "In all it did not amount tc
more than a year. But moro or
less of the schoolroom is a matter of
small Importance if a boy has learned
to read and to think of what he
reads. And that this boy had learn
ed. His stock of books was small,
but he knew them thoroughly, and
they were good books to know-the
Bible, Esop's Fables, Robinson
Crusoe," Bunyan's Pilgrims Prog
ress," a History of the United
States, Weems' Life of Washing
tom and the Statutes of Indiana. "
These are the chief ones we know
about He did not own them all,
but sometimes had to borrow them
from the neighbors, a practice which
resulted in at least one casualty, for
Weems' Life of Washington he
allowed to get wet and to make good
the loss he had to pull fodder three
days No matter. The book became
his then, and he could read it as he
would Fortunately he took this
curious work ia profound serious
ness, which wide awake boy would
hardly be expected to do today.
Washington became an exalted fig
ure in his imagination, and he al
ways oontended later when tho ques-
ton of the real character of tho first
president was brought up that it
was wiser to regard him as godlike
character, heroic in nature and
deeds, as Weems did, than to con-
tend that he was only u man who,
if wise and good, still made mis-
takes and INDUCED in follies like
other men.
Besides these books he borrowed
many. He once told a friend that
he read through every book he
had ever heard of in that country
for circuit of SO miles" From
everything he read he made long
extracts, using q turkey buzZard
pen and brier root ink. When he
had no paper. he would write on a
board and thus preserve his selec-
tions until he secured copy book.
The wooden fire shovel was his usual
slate, and on its back he would CT >
pher with charred stick, shaving
it off when covered. The logs and
boards in his vicinity were always
filled with his figures and quota
tons. By night he read and work
cd as long as there was light, and he
kept book in the crack of the logs
in his loft, to have it at hand at
peep of day. When acting as ferry.
man in his nineteenth year, anxious
no doubt to get through the books
of the house where he boarded be-
fore he left the place, he read every
night It'll midnight, SO says his
1oommate.
In his habits of reading and study
the boy had little encouragement
from his father, but his stepmother
did all she could for him. Indeed
between the two there soon grew up
relation of touching gentleness and
confidence. Ida M. Tarbell in Nc

| Of the fathers" The act of 1894 forced
silver out of circulation, and ii was per-
feotly understood that auoh would be its
effect.
But Mr.. Franks most astonishing ar
gument for free silver is contained in the
following paragraph of the Araus's re
port:
The annual expenses of tba TTnited
States government in round numhera are
$3.50, 900, 600. Now for the sake Of arQp-
ment we will let this go. You are going
to pay this expense in 80 cent dollars,
and the expenses will be just one half OF
$3.50, 600, 600. You are going to nav YOUR
own office holders in so cent dollars,
when they are not obliged to serve. THAT
means that one-half of $3.50. 600 600 or
SITS, 900, 900 will be saved annually. and
II Bryan is elected III four years $50. 600. =
600 will be saved. How soon tbe conn
try's debt could then be paid and fine
bondholders would not be around to
| trouble US in their attempts to rule thu
situation of the country.
EssHere appears to be bald suggestion
that free silver will be good thing be.
cause it will enable the governments to
out expenditure down one half by cheat
ing Its creditors out Of half their dues.
We do not believe, however, that
Mr.. Frank made this sugges-
ton seriously. The report or must
have omitted some qualifying re-
mark. 1t is Incredible that an honest
man would commend to his oountrymen
such monstrous piece of fraud as that.
Mr.. Frank is, we believe, laboring under
delusion, but we do not believe that he
would deliberately and enormously
express cheating the country's indicators.
The reporter has evidently done him
mi nstice.

Democrat Solves it by Advising Gold
Democrats to Vote for Mr.. Reed wNs

To the Editor of the Press:
Now that the tickets for the election g
have all been made up, in the most i'm
portant particular of all, that of Con-
gresham, the Democrats who favor the
present gold standard, are left with no
candidate in the First district, and no
recommendation by the convention of
gold Democrats on that subject, although
pledging It's friends to the support of its
candidate for governor, State office
having no connection with national
politics except by implication. In this
dilemma what is an honest gold Demo-
crat to do? For whom votep There is
but one answer, namely, cast his ballot
SO as 20 make it most effective for sound
money. the paramount issue before the
country. This involves the duty, not to
say necessity, of voting for Mr.. Reed.
Now that Mr.. Staples has openly enrolled
himself in the ranks of Populists and
silverites, MIR. Reed is the only candidate
who stands squarely and uneeuivooally
on the gold platform. That platform,
as Mr.. Sherman recently announced, is
tho same on which the Democratic par ty
stood from 1901, when Mr.. Jefferson
became President, to the close of Bu-
ohanan's administration in 1861" 1t is
the platform of Grover Cleveland, whom
every gold Democrat honors for main
tanning under unprecedented embar-
rassments. 1t Is the platform which the
Democratic convention OF Maine estab-
lished in juno last in a full body, after q
heated contest, and which designated
the candidates for electors now claiming
Democratic support. 1t is the platform
omulgated by the gold Democrats at
the Portland convention OF August Goth.
Under such circumstances l hold it to
be the dutytof every honest gold Demo-
crat to vote Nfor Mr.. Reed, and help
| swell his majority SO largely that the
Populists in convention at Chicago
which bolted the old Democratic creed
| may be taught lesson not speedily to be
| forgotten. This view is emphasized by
| the fact, that Mr.. Reeds influence in
| Congress, as Speaker or otherwise, is
| more potent than that of any other man,
and his defeat as respects the crucial
question of the day, would be the most
disastrous event that GOULD occur.
| This statement from life long Demo
GRAFT may strike some strangely, but if
hl5 premises aro SouHo, Gne conclusion TO
which he has arrived is inevitable, and
alone leads out from the dilemma in
which the gold Democrats of the first
district are found. Furthermore encour-
| agement in this line is toSbe derived from
| the authentic declaration of William ].
| Bryan that mo power on earth or In
heaven could induce him to vote for
gold standard Democrat.
Moreover, let it not be forgotten that
the vote for Congressman in September
is far more important than that for
President in November, because before
any change of currency standard can be-
effected it wi II require congressional leg
islation, before any enactment osn
reach tho President, whoever he NAV
be.

cumstanoes remarkable for it's sizs and
she enthusiasm and determination mani
tested. 1t was not made up of men who
are workers., 1" in the sense Of political
fuglers; but it's members were almost all
men of influence who are really the
backbone of the party. They were
standing out against the declaration of
the Chicago convention, not for pelf or
spoiIs for that, if there be any, is all
on the other side, but from allegiance to
principle. Frequently the bolter can be
dismissed summarily as sorshead, but
not SO these boilers. They are men for the
most part who want nothing, and whose
lifelong political associations would
incline them to accept anything
that seemed to bear the stamp
of regularity. They are in re-
volt now simply because the declarations
of the Chicago platform are repugnant
to their sense of what is honorable and
just. They are men who, strong parti-
sans though they be, place the claims of
country before those of party They are
men who are not ready to surrender
their ideas of right and justice at the
beck of an Altgeld or a Iillman.

The Detroit Tri bune, the principal free
silver paper of Michigan, takes exception
to that part of Mr.. Bryan's New York
speech in which he told his hearers,
that silver under fl 90 coinage would ad-
vance to parity with gold. The Tribune
says that it will not, and that the trua
silvermen do not want it to. Doubtless
the Tribune represents the views and
wishes of the great majority of the silver
men much more accurately in this mat
ter than did Bryan. If silver should ad,
vance to parity it would not relieve the
debtor class and it would not raise prices
In short none Of the benefits claimed,
from it would matsrialize. But Bryan,
speaking in the West would probably
not predict parity. He predicted it is
New York with the idea of doubtless
reassuIing the creditor class.

CANDIDATE FRANK AND SILVER

Candidate Frank made his debut as
silver champion at Westbrook Thursday
night, and the newspaper which keeps
his name and portrait Mt the head of it's
columns and which presumably would
90 him no injustice contains O report of
his speooh. According to this report
Mr.. Frank opened with a definition OF
an honest dollar" which we reproduce
as follows:
An honest dollar is one for which you
have to give honest labor, one for which
you have TO give fair portion of your
produce. 1t is no respeotor of persons.
