"MAID'9 MONEY"


Virtue.
An interesting custom was observed
recently at Guilford, says the London
Telegraph, on the occasion OF the dis
trlbutlon Of municipal charity, famil-
iarly known as the Maids Money. The
event causes considerable interest by
reason of the selected candidates hav-
Ing to decide who should receive the
gift by casting lots. The gift was
made In the seventeenth century, ana
1t was stipulated that a sum Of money
should be invested in Consols calcu-
lated TO produce the sum Of El2 l2s,
net for a maidservant who should have
lived for two years or upward In one
service In the old borough OF Gullford,
and who SHOULD throw the highest
number with two dice or cast lots with
another maldservant" II Is further
explained that the unsuccessful maid
10 permitted to try three subsequent
times for tho gift, providing she re-
mains an lnhabltant Of the town and
does not marry. The testator stlpu-
lated that NO maid who was servant
In a llcensed inn or ale house was to
be selected as a candidate. The pro-
ceedings took place In the council
chamber, when Mark Bowling, the
Oldest trustee presided In the absence
Of David Williamson, ]. p, the chair
man, there being present a number OF
the old Guilfordlans, including J.
Mason Sweyne and r, Salisbury Tex
mayors), @. J. Jacob, II, Mason and
Drs. Russell and Morton. This year
no less than ten rames were submit
ted to the trustees for selection. The
successful two were Louisa Remnant,
servant In the employ Of Matthew
Klelser, OF North street, Guildford, for
the past ten and a half years, and
Sarah Ann Frogley, In the employ or
Richard Sparks for fifteen years. AS
soon rs the trustees had taken their
seats, the two candidates were sent for
to complete for the glft. A cup ana
two dice were handed to them, and
these they threw on the table. The
young woman Frogley succeeded IN
scoring eight, while her rival secured
Ave. The gift was thereupon handed
TO Miss Frogley.

The war against silver was inaugu-
rated by combination of the worlds
creditors for tho purpose OF cutting off
money supply and making money
scarce and dear, says the National
Watchman. Through outlawing silver
as money metal, they have doubled
their wealth and their incomes since
1878, and every dollar due them, either
as principal or interest, will now pur.
chase double the amount of things In
general that it would at that time.
The demand for the demonstration of
silver emanated from class who
sought the enrichment of themselves

lowing questions; The free and un-
limited coinage Of silver; government
issuance Of all paper money without
the intervention Of banks; government
ownership and operation Of railroads,
telcgraphs, telephones, etc. municipal
ownership and operation Of all city
utilities; protective tariffs; income tax
laws; election of United States sena-
tors, and many other important ques-
tions that vitality concern their inter-
ests?
But the objection Is made that the
people cannot understand these ques-
tions There Is but one effectual ans
wer to this objection and that Is TO say
that the charge is false, The people
understand these questions better than
the politicians and those who set them
selves up as teachers OF the people
Tho united judgment OF the people,
prompted as they are by desire to do
what is for the good Of all instead Of q
selfish anxiety to help q class, is far
safer and truer than the best judgment
Of any class.
The main consideration in this age
Of intelligence, is to let those control
whose hearts are right II pure and
patriotic motives govern those who
are charged with the duty and rcspon-
sibility of deciding public questions,
we may reasonably expect the best re-
suits. Furthermore, as government
ought to be conducted for the good Of
the millions and not for the interest Of
the few, 1t Is eminentiy just that the
millions should have unqualified con-
troll Of its politics. They are the ones
to bear the consequences, hence they
ought to bear the responsibility.
But it would not be enough to adopt
simply direct legislation, without the
power to recall unfaithful servants
This Is called tho Imperative Mandate,
giving to public officers constituency
the power and privilege of percmptor-
lily recalling him at pleasure and sub
stituting another man in his place,
whenever they lose confidence in him.
The power would be exercised upon
the petition Of a minority, specifying
in what respects he had been unfaith-
full. II the petition should DO sus-
tanned by a majority vote he should
have to step down and out.
The mere possession Of this power
would make it unnecessary to often
make use of IT, Such club hSld over
a public officer would compel him to
be loyal to his people. Hence the salu'
tary effect would be beyond all calcu-
lation. No public official would dare
to desert his constituents, Moreover,
lie would be elected to carry out spe-
cilic policies, His instructions, coming
from his employers, would be clear
and unmistnkable and lie could not
fail to obey them, or lose his position.

The idea that the people do not
know enough TO rule, or make laws, is
a child OF monarchy. 1t was begotten
and born Of kings 1t is brother to
the idea of the 'divine right OF kings.
To those two satanic offspring may be
traced much Of the evil flowing from
bad government Under kings aud
emperors and czars, the tendency has
always been toward absolutism. This
tendency always received strength
from the idea that one man could rule
better than more than one. Next
came rule by more than one, the aris-
tocrats, also resting upon the idea that
the people cannot be trusted Here in
the United States, first we established
rule by the people through their rep
rescntatives; but this has been gradu-
ally but surely broken, in the interest
OF wealth and the few who claim that
government cannot be trusted to the
many.
Here are their teachings: They say
that only bankers and "6nanciers" are
competent to formulate n financial sys-
tenn for the nation; that laws for the
regulation Of the railroads can only be
drafted and enacted by the servants of
the transportation companies; that
mining laws should be left to mining
kings; tariff and other laws affecting
factories to the manufacturers, and so
on to the end of the list, Class legis-
lation is the result of applying tho
Idea that the people are not competent
10 rule.
The only safety lies in the classes
having an untrammeed voice in the
enactment Of laws. 1t is not only idle
but perniclous TO argue in favor Of the
superior wisdom, honesty and loyalty
to the nations interest, Of the favored,
highly educated, financially successful
minority. Their own selfish interest
obscures their vision 1t is impossible
for them to separate themselves and
their own interests from public ques-
tions and labor for the good of all.
No class can do this,
But when all classes are heard equal
ly, when every interest IN the nation
stands on nn equality with every other
interest, In the matter OF making laws
and enforcing them, we may hope for
just laws and their impartial enforce
meut, but not till then
Real statesmanship does not reside
in any one class, nor in any few cluss-
es Nothing less than the ombined
wisdom of all clusses will give us
craftsmanship.
But, rs | have shown, before all
classes can rule, before all cnn have a
potent voice in public affairs, II radical
change In the existing System must be
mude. The people must vote directly
upon all important laws proposed.
This can best be done by means OF
the initiative and referendum, Under
such system snail minority can
propose measures ~ be rracted into
law; or, when proposed by u legisla-
tive body, n minority of that body Gun

AN ENEMY OF LABOR UNIONS.

Judge Peter Stenger Grosscup, who
has been nominated by the president
TO be judge OF the seventh United
States circuit court for the northern
Illinois district, in place Of the late
Judge Showalter, has had a distin-
guished career since he was elevated
to the bench which he nov leaves for
his larger sphere Of duty. Prior to
that appointment, which was made by
President Harrison in 1892, Judge
Grosscup was an eminent lawyer in
Chicago. He came to that city In 1888
from Ohio, where he had been prom
inent in law and politics for some
time. 1t is not generally known that
Judge Grosscup once lived in the same
congressional district with President
Mckinley when the latter was max
ing his reputation in congress. In
fact, Maj. Mckinley was nominated for
congress by the brilliant lawyer, who
stumped the district for the success of
the republican candidate. Mr.. Gross
cup himself was twice a candidate for
congress In Ohio, and was we'll known
in that state as a republican orator.
The Judge was born at Ashland. Ohio.

The average farmer probably does
not get the benefit 0: one-third Of the
plant food that the droppings Of his
fowls contain, and no doubt those
known as expert ponltrymen do not
secure more than half, The station
in New York State found that adult
hens kept in confinement made about
thirty pounds of lroppings per year,
fresh weight, or ebout fifteen pounds
air dry On the above basis, this
would be worth eight cents. Fatten-
ing fowls made more and much richer

may be reckoned as worth five to ten

IN speaking Of milk fever an Eng

be prevented by keeping only inferior
mixers, or by keeping good ones so
poorly that there can be no profit in
keeping them. It is the best mixers
under full feed that succumb. Rather
than indorse that principle, it would
be nor profitable to lose good milker
occasionally. The ''forcing process
certainly wears out a COW faster than
the old way, but it is the only profit

Permanent Meadow, and Pastures.

Orchard grass, red top, kentucky

English rye grass, meadow f%escue,

perior to timothy OH good land, but
some OF them possess advantages over

orablv with that from timothy, but
orchard grass aud tall oat grass should

both grasses are earlier than timothy.
Orchard grass endures shade better,

and blue grass make better sod than

Meadows containing orchard grass
should be rolled every year. for the
habit Of growing in tufts like timothy

bounced. For a permanent meadow
timothy should not be sown alone.
