CURRENT COMMENT.

Here are some solid chunks of wisdom
from the Louisville Courier-J Journal:
THE Courier-Joucnal does not subscribe
to the idea that the workingmen embrace
those only who direct machinery in great
mills and factories. The great mass OF
the people are workers OF those capable
of work all are more or less working peo-
pie except tramps, criminals, malingerers
and those possessed of inherited or ac-
quired wealth who choose to lead idle
ives. In this connection il must tt noted
that most men of wealth have their
money in Industrial enterprises and many
OF them work harder than their employees.
Without undertaking to defend anything
wrong that wealthy men may do, we
must still recognize the fact that most
of them are workers. so through all the
ranks of professional life. men engaged
in trade on their own account and their
cmployes, men who 0 IN lie' farms, men
who rent farms and the employees of both
we find wOrkinsmen, men who contribute
to SUPPLY the wants of their fellow-men
and who receive therefor compensation,
(Which are tile same thngl, or the amount
OF their cHn products less expenses. One
is none the less a workin2man because
he also owns the capital invested, or
part OF it. The man who owns 4 small
farm and cultivates it is both capitalist
ANA laborer. But if he gets 10 more for
his capital an.! labor than the labOrer
employed on an adjoining farm, it is evil
dent that his capital is of no avail. He
would do we'll to sell his farm, invest the
proceeds and take position as a wage
Garner The notion that tbs people of
the country are divided into capitalists
and labOrers is, therefore, wholly erron-
eous With exceptions only sufficient to
prove the rule, we are all laborers.
Quite So There are only twos classes
Of iders in this country and both are
composed of tramps. Those Of the one
class count railroad ties from Newport
to Palm Beach, and those Of the other
class go over the same lines in palace
cars. The rest Of us are worhingmen.
Mark Twain has had occasion to COM
pltment the citizens of New York upon
some of their recent developments.
He said:
You have the best municipal govern
ment in the world. and the purest and
most fragrant. The very angels in Heaven
wish they had just such a government.
You got it by your noble devotion to civic
duty. by The strenuous and watchful ex
e.rcise Of your great power. by your manly
refusal to sit inert when base men would
spread corruption and bcsmirch the fai:

A Twentieth Century Suggestion

Editor OF The Times, Sir:-ApparentIy
most people do not realize the great i'm
portance of the great event which will
occur at midnight on December 81, 1860
when the Old century dies and the new
is born. No one living at that moment
can reasonably hope or expect, even under
The most Favorable eircurnsta noes, TO live
to witness another such event.
1t appears 10 me that a subscription
should be raised among our people, Canti
why should not the people eff every county
in this Frsoad land do likewise a band
OF music engaged for that occasion, and
the people of the county notified to meet IS
sa..ly as practicable on the morning of
January ]. 1861, at the county seat, to
celebrate this great event.
Speakers, who should be well informed
as to the great Improvements in every
walk of lie which has taken place since
1901. should be employed for this occasion,
and a plentiful supply OF United States
flags should also be in evidence to an-al1-
en- the patriotism CT all, beth old and
young.
Personally the writer would prefer to
hear an address from some 'old timer, y
one If possible who saw the dawn OF the
present century, and who by reason there
OF could speak from actual experience OF
the events narrated, OF events occurring
during the eighteenth century. y Irir
over the main roads Of the country by the
same band of music, accompanied 10y a
turnout OF marching people with flags,
would be a great ooject lesson. especially
to the younger generation, who in after
years would repeat with pleasure TO those
who We're then too Young TO participate
hose exercises, or who were born az
te1wards, a history OF their experiences.
on that occasion. The writer lis especially
fond of conyersing with Old people. more
especially those who ny reason OF ei,Ica-
ton or a good memory can give accurate
sketches OF occurrences in the dim and
misty past,
Tradition is in my opinion. frequently
more truthful and accurate than written
ilistory, Though there is no good and sui
hc!ent. reason why this should be so. Pos
sibEy it hes in THE fact that most if-cot
ali Writer'S write moro to exploit them
selves. than to preserve the truth of his
Tory l note that many OF the larger
CITIES are making heavy appropriations to
tlIvtinsly celebrate this great event Why
s'!lotlid not people in the country enjoy a
day OF pleasure also, F. P. WRAY.

Now, in point of fact, Democracy, that

ual rights with 2rivs~a interests; for trade
expansion, law ans orde- an for the

not, therefore, fairly represented by the

We are firm in the belief that if the
Kansas City Convention had nominated
such man as David b. Hill upon a plat
form declaring for sound money and per-

self to deal justly with the Filipinos; for
