Satisfactory to The journal.

Waukesha Dispatch: The outcome
of the Legislative session which has
just closed must be very satisfactory
to the Milwaukee journal, which has
clcverly contented for the fullillmcnt
of every promise made in the republi-
can platform. Its influence in shap-
ing the legislation Of the winter has
been great and for the host, and it
can congratulate itself ON the guild
ancc IL has exercised. Although
politically opposed to the legislature
it has still led the republican press of
the state in advocacy of all the re-
forms effected and has had the conf
dcncc during the session Of both Gov.
Scoticld and the legislature.

quoted is none to severe. That in this
regard there should be occasion for
such strong words is a fact greatly to
be deplored. One who can not, or
who does not, wish to pay respectful
attention to speaker or other enter
tainer, should not prevent others from
so doing.
And there is another side to the
question which committees having out
of door exercises in charge should
thoughtfully consider. 1t Is compre-
hended in the fact that " brevity is
the soul Of witt The orator OF an
occasion should not be compelled to
wait until the close of long pro-
gram; nor, in these days, should an
orator, unless possessed OF rare
powers, speak for more than half an
hour. The occasion must be pro-
pitious and the speaker a good one to
render it safe to exceed the half hour
limit. Committees not infrequently
allow themselves to be imposed upon
by prosy takers and self-invited en-
tcrtainers. And we may say, that
right here Is where the people get
their disgust, Program makers should
keep abreast with the times and study
the demands OF the present and not of
n past age. In arranging for and
carrying out II program of exercises
appropriate to any OF our national
days, If the purpose namely, to en-
gage In exercises that will instruct
and inspire is kept in view, the re-
suit will be deep interest and common
dation. The effort should be to Sc
cure the attention of the earnest and
thoughful; and when such effort is
rightly made, inattcntion will be only
on the part of the few thoughtless
ones, and not on the part of the
mauy.

GROWING In FAVOR.

In the better sentiment In regard TO
farm life which prevails throughout
the country there Is hopeful sign OF
the times. There IL u great deal OF
good In the right kind of sentiment;
and the sentiment which kindles love
for we'll cultivated farms and well mp
pointed, cnnobling farm homes, will
greatly exalt America. The following
thoughtful article upon farm life Is
copied from John Nagle's paper, The
Mantowoc Plot:
" A reaction has set In against the
tendency toward quitting the farm.
This Is specially noticeable In Min
nesotn, but signs are not lacking In
other states OF this desirable change.
Tho agricultural colleges have done
much toward Identifying the business OF
farming. They are relieving IL of the
feature Of drudgcry by imparting In
tclligence In the conduct of It's affairs.
Young people are not attracted M
much by the money-making POSSIBLE
ity of u calling M by the respectable
ity attaching to IL. They are forgetful
of the fact that character can dignity
labor no matter what It's nature, and
that intelligence has opportunity for
exercise In any department of indus
trial activity.
Tho trouble with farming has been
that the doctrine of manual labor has
ovcrshadowed the opportunities for
intellectual activity. But the latter
are developing and agricultural pur-
suits are growing In dignity. The
poetry In rural life Is IN assert of rare
value. Tho csthetic feature of farm
life has been lost In the prosaic round
OF mechanical duty. But things are
changing undor the guidance OF In
tclligent action and young farmers
are beginning To learn that " love
lightens labor" Thought robs labor
of it's servile feature and invests 1t
with the beauty of sentiment.
Tho fields of golden grain yield not
less profit because they give pleasure
to the eye Nv wcll M appeal To the
sense of gnin.
There IL no small investment which
pays better than the farm. The money
invested IN II farm yields more II
industry accompanies than when put
to any other use. Tho chance of great
wealth Is not involved, but neither Is
the probability of failure. a little
labor will make surroundings pleasant
and will give all the comforts of city
life amid the beauties of the country.
A farmer worth 1000 is II man of
distinction. A resident of the city
worth that sum Is not regarded rs
being comfortably we'll OF, ~ The
average young man who deserts the
farm shows Tvs much good sense NJ the
boy who Is captivatcd by the glamour
