On OUR first page will be foun,

On OUR first page will be found
an interesting letter from Hon. Jas.
N. Stubs, who takes exceptions TO
our recent remarks about the fisher
men of his section who are object
ing to paying the tax on their iu-
dustry. The ex-senator surmises
correctly when he says that this
paper did not mean to do his people
an Intentional wrong. We did not,
nor are we yet convinced that we did
them an injustice. Our whole editorial
was for the purpose of discouraging
such movements against the license
tax laws, and Mr.. Stubs while stat
ing 1t in probably more select and
acceptable language holds the same
view that does the editor of the
CITIZEN, in that he said he advised
the fishermen to pay the tax, and
hopes and believes they will do so.
Under his able counsel those that
have refused to do so certainly can
properly be denounced agitators and
kickers. When the Act of1S9S was
in embryonic state before the Com
mittee the CITIZENS editor, with
other gentlemen, appeared before
that Committee several times and
significantly besought the Legisla-
ture not to tax our people out of ex-
istence. After an executive session
one afternoon, and the Committee
had decided on double the amount
which was ultimately placed on
pound nets the writer begged them
to go back and reconsider their action
and offered to accept an increased
tax on the purse nets if they would
cut down the pound net tax one half
Tor practically what it now stands).
They acceded to this compromise.
The menhaden men have borne un-
complainingly the voluntary increase
In their tax to save the pound-netter.
10 those who are familiar with such
Legislative battles it has ever been
apparent that the easiest way was to
submit to not exorbitant tax un-
complainingly. Our mountain friends
when rubbed the wrong way Clicking
over legitimate taxation) are tarna-
tion hard set to handle. The CITIZEN
had no other motive than TO dis
courage opposition to the now fair
tax, and to let the up-country-men
know that the kickers were few and
not supported by moral sentiment
here. 1t is commendable that the
fishermen of Lancaster and Northum-
berland accepted the Legislative
decree and paid the tax without |
murmur. Aud Lancaster and Nor
cumberland pay ninety per cent of
the heavy menhaden tax.

LARA.

OF all the pleasures, those in the
country are the greatest aud most
beneficial. Yet We are never satisfied.
We are all prone to envy some other
person. Even III our childhood DAYS
we see some little ones who seem to
enjoy themselves better than We, and
we envy them of their pleasures.
Further speaking, the aged as well,
have the same envious disposition.
Many people who have spent their
lives in the country look upon the
city as a place of boundless oppor-
tunities, where perhaps they might
have accomplished more had fate
willed to place them there when they
were young. On the other hand the
town people after having been buff
feted to and fro by the ceaseless
struggles of strenuous city life,
envy those in the country. But
everything considered, i'm the COM
parative advantages of country and
city life, those living in the country
have the advantage. To illustrate
the difference, take this as an ex,
ample for the city life of boy. In
the dry goods business BOYS ex-
perlence is confined to the silk
department. or the wooden depart
ment as the case may be. The other
branches Of the business he is not
likely to learn anything about. If
he works in shoe factory, his work
may consist of putting on heels, day
after day, year in and out. This
can also be applied to
city girls who have to work in shirt
factories. This division makes bows
and girls proficient and rapid ir some
one thing, but prevents them from
learning any business thoroughly
and dwarfs their character. The
country boy or girl perhaps has less
to do with and gets less help from
others, but this throws him or her
on their own resources and therefore
developes all the latent possibilities
in their character. There is an old
saying that the most lonesome place
IN the world is in crowd, and to
the same idea, the poorest
place to learn business is where
there is the most of it. In these
days of railroads and the rural
delivery, the man in the country has
access to practically every thing worth
having and he gets it in such variety
md quantity, that what he learns.
ne learns thoroughly from beginning
% end. The farm is one of the best
places to raise boys, to develop them
physically and mentally and round
tut their character to fit them for a
happy and successful life. Whether
heir later life be spent on a farm or
n the city, they should always be
thankful if the foundations of their
areer were laid in the country.

NEW YoRK's smart set and the
papels that dance to their piping are
all aglow over recent performance
of that silly mimic, Harry Lehr. 1t
will be recalled that some time ago
the same Lehr set the smart set bv
the ears by giving a monkey dining,
and about the same time aping a
dog by antics over Brussels carpet
floor. 1t seems to take very little to
amuse this shallow set, and Lehr has
an easy time earning his lucrative
salary as ape and man of fashions
for the -Four Hundred. The recent
caper which the society papers de-
scribe as one of the "jolliest scenes
imaginable" consisted in Mr.. Lehr's
climbing up the outside rail of a
vessel to reach the upper deck, and
with his arms full of lilacs. This
inane caper called forth salutation
from the dandy dappers aud maud
lin dudines who struck up the tune
"My Evening STAR. Lehr and his
male companions proceeded to bonn
bard the pretty girls of the party
with flowers as they walked aboard
the steamer. To people of any gump-
ton at all the whole thing appears
silly in the extreme, and nothing
difficult of performance even for a
fool.

The removal of Judge Campbell
has been held up in the Senate on
technical grounds. The Committee
for Courts of Justice held a long
session behind closed doors to fix a
date for taking up the Campbell
case. The point was made that the
House, in its action, failed to obey
the constitutional mandate that in
such proceeding the cause for the
removal of the judge must be entered
on the journal of the House, and
that the House, in transmitting to
the Senate the joint resolution passed
by it, failed to state therein the
causes for removal of the judge.
