princes, Catholic parties and Catholic
mobs have been guilty of wicked deeds;
but I insist that it was not because they
were good Catholics they were thus
guilty, but because they were bad ones;
and because they acted in opposition to
Catholic teaching and discipline.
Respectable protestants will surely

would not call these events protestant
atrocities, though all the perpetrators
were protestant. Neither should they
attribute to our church the response

control. I would no more apologize

foreign countries. He knows that in
every state there are men studying,
investigating and experimenting to gain
knowledge that may be useful to him or
to other farmers.
With all this, the farmers home has
become more attractive. He has not
checked the march Of improvement at
its threshold. Here are devices to
tighten labor as we'll as in the field. In
the house and around it are things that
are ornamental as we'll as useful. The
bleak, bare house, without share around
it or flower, excepting the wild fowts
ers Of the field, is not often seen now,
and many little changes have taken
place to render it home instead of a
mere habitation and dwelling place.
We have spoken Of the farmer of to-
day as he should be, and as many of
them are. The young man who visits
such farm, and sees how pleasant the
place may be, and how much there is to
interest one in the work of every seas
on, can scarcely contrast the shop the
factory or the counting room with it
without feeling that the farm is place
for liberty and enjoyment, which makes
the others seem like prisons, from
which are barred out the bright sun
shine and the balmy breezes laden with
the fragrance of fruit and flowers and
the song Of birds.
Nor is pleasant home and pleasant
surroundings all the farm life can offer
to the young man Of to-day. The work
of progress has begun, and who shall
say that it is to be checked. To one
who strives to excel in any branch OF
agriculture, there seems to be as much
''room at the top" as in any of the
professions. To originate or introduce
new and better breed of animals OF
fowls, of variety of fruit or vegetables,
or some new method of increasing pro
duction or lessening labor, may give
both fame and wealth to the farmer
as it has already done for some.
We know not why one with ambi
tion, energy and perseverance should
not now have as much to hope for anc
expect as those in other walks of life.
The farmer Of to-day is not peasant
crushed by toll, nor an ignorant man,
fit companion only for the beasts Of
burden. He may boast himself the
equal Of any 9th er man, not only ii
what he does for the world, but whal
he is in the world.
Whateer betide whate'er befall,
1t is the farmer feedeth all.

YOUNG MEN FARMING.

While a young man may have SO
strong an inclination to some one trade
or business that he really would be un.
wise not to make that the occupation Of
hislife, there are many who have,no such
strong tendencies to guide them in their
choice. They take up with that which
offers itself to them, feeling that they can
leave it for something else very readily
if it does not suit them. The days Of
long apprenticeship are over in this
country, and tits not unusual now to
find a young man Of % who has tried a
half dozen different kinds of business,
and has not been successful in any of
them, simply because they did not es-
pecially interest him, and he was ready
to change whenever there seemed to be
a slack season for the article he was
helping to produce, and a better de-
mand for labor in some other direc.
ton.
Our present system Of factory work is
partly to be blamed for this. No man
is given chance to learn how to pro.
duce the finished goods he helps to
make, be it boot or steam engine. He
has not learned how to do more than a
small part, which by some change in
style or in the machinery used may
cease to be in demand when he most
needs steady employment. This must
lead to change even though he has
no ickleness to cause him to desire new
work and new surroundings.
A half century ago there was little in
the farmers life that was attractive to a
young man. Those who remained on
the farm were apt to do SO either be-
cause Of family ties which seemed to
bind them at home. or we're those who
lacked ambition, energy or ability to
fnd employment elsewhere. Few cared

tive employment than they found at
home.
1t was not necessary to seek far to
find the cause of this. The hours OF
farm labor were long during the greater
part Of the year. Nearly every task in.
doors or out called for strength rather
than skill and perseverance more than
judgment. A living might be obtained,
and some managed to accumulate prop.
erty, but there was little money to be
handled and it really seemed as ifit was a
life Of hard toll and little compensation.
The change of seasons brought some
change OF work, and yet it was monot-

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

The census Of 1900 reveals the start
ing fact that the center Of population
did not move during the ten years be.
tween 1890 and 1900. Previous census
enumerations showed a steady vest
ward march of the center of ponula-
ton, and in 1890 it was found to be in
the near vicinity of Greencastle. Ind.
But the growth of population during
the last decade has been so evenly di-5
vlded between the west and the east
that the center of population did not
shift enough to be worthy Of notice.

politation Of Porto Rico and the Philip.
pines, where labor is cheap and plenty,
will doubtless exert further influence
to retard the development of the west
ern part of this country, especially in
the fertile sections, where irritation is
necessary. Western people should
exert every possible influence to secure

cess of this western section. The cen.

Mr.. Bryan Gives a Statement Re-
garding EleCtion-He will Take
an Active Interest In Politics.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. -S.-Mr. Bryan
to-day gave out the following statement
regarding the election:
The result was surprise to me, and
the magnitude of the republican victory
was surprise to our opponents as we'll
rs to those who supported our ticket.
1t Is impossible to annalyze the returns
until they are more complete, but
speaking generally, we seemed to have
gained in the large cities and lost in the
smaller cities and in the country.
"The republicans were able to secure
tickets and passes for all their voters
who were away from home, and this
gave them a considerable ADVANTAGE.
We have no way Of knowing at this time
how much money was spent in the pur.
chase Of votes and colonization. But
while these would account for some of
the republican gains. they would not
account for the widespread increase of
the republican vote. The prosperity
argument was probably the most potent
one used by the republicans.
"They compared present conditions
with the panic times of '93 and '98 and
this argument had weight with those
who did not stop to consider the reasons
of the change. The appeal, stand by
the president while the war is on had a
great deal of influence among those who
did not realize that war against the

AFTERMATH.

Individual reformation is generally
wrought as the result Of individual con-
aciousness Of wrong doing.
Elections breed strife, not necessarily
but because somebody will oppose truth,
and is compelled in such opposition to
use the only weapons Of error-false req
soning or false statement. Nobody will
be put upon trial, now that the e.election
is over, for that the election is over, for
the wrong he may have done, either in
the civil or ecclesiastical courts; but II
will be we'll for each one to constitute 9
tribunal for the trial Of himself, and re.
viewing and discriminating care the
course he has pursued in the campaign,
render a true and impartial verdict
thereon as to the justice and righteous
ness Of his own conduct. This verdict
need not be read in open court. We dc
not ask that it shall be so read; we only
ask that each one 1nake up his own yer.

for his own perusal and for his own
! profit.

and there were but few amusements ex-

The farmers and their wives who work.
ed during all the hours of daylight had
little chance for sociability, and little
to interest them outside of their own
affairs.
To-day farming is far different from
what it was as we remember it. Machin-
cry has been introduced so that horse
or steam power are doing those things
which were then done by human
strength. Skill to direct and guide is in
demand, and muscular power is not se-
verely taxed in the days labor. Even
the few tools which survive from that
day, the scythes and forks, hoes and
shovels, are now made so light and per-
feet that they seem more like toys than
the implements of hard labor that our
fathers used.
Better animals and poultry have come
into fashion, and the care of them be-
comes an interesting task, because we
can see how they can be improved or
made more productive by better methods
of feed and care. The young man who
once begins breeding and growing fine
stock is likely to learn to love them
while he is watching their development
and improvement, even almost as well
as he loves the children whom he has
watched from infancy.
Better fruit and better vegetables
have been introduced on the farm, and
not only it is pleasure to watch their
growth and to taste them when they
mature, but they can be converted into
cash as quickly as gathered, and the
farmer or farmers son need not go for
weeks, or perhaps months, at a time
without a coin to chink against another,

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.

1t il worthily characteristic OF the true
spirit of American democracy that the
national defeat which the party suffered
at the polls on last Tuesday only serves
to stimulate democrats to renewed effort
in determination to achieve better re-
suits in the future.
The basic principles of democracy are
so vital in their value to the people of a
free and self-governing country that at
! no time is there any reason for demo-
crat to fear tina, democracy shall perish
as the animating spirit of one of the
great parties in American political life.
The foundation of American democracy
is also the foundation upon which the
American government rests and from
which it has drawn its best and wisest
inspiration and attained its truest glory.
In order to destroy that democracy it
will first be necessary to finally and for.
ever repudiate the great truths of demo-
cracy uttered by the builders of the
American government, and, with the
consent of the people, embarked upon a
career so foreign to American principles
and traditions that democracy can have
no principles can have no place in the
new American scheme Of government.
It is now incumbent upon the Ameri-
can democracy to begin without delay
that drawing together of the party's
strength that shall in future campaigns
present in political battle faithfully

and sound policies of true democracy,
which have so benefcently prevailed in
Nnany American administrations, and

by association with less worthy princi-
pies, has always inspired popular con.
fdence resulting in dem ocratic victory,
must constitute the platform upon
which the national democracy goes be.

leaders, who justly enjoy the conf
dence Of the country, must enter un.

preparation.
