Construction of Society.

Society must be constructed
from the ground up. You cannot
begin with the mayor of the city
and successfully work down. but
you must begin with the child in
the home, AID before that. with
the home itself. We often talk
about corruption in official life.
but there cannot be a permanent
condition Of that kind unless there
is corruption in private life. If
the people in the mass have loose
ideas Of marriage and demand 10
be Sc: free whenever the whim
takes them. and yon will 6bd that
the law is undermined and adjusts
itself to these conditions. The
best service which teachers Of So
eiology and preachers can do is not
the scientific tabulation Of statis-
tics but a definite teaching concern
ing the sacre,lness Of the home as
an instigution.-Rev. W. A. Bar
lett, CongregatIonalist. Chicago.

Why Agriculture Should be Taught
In Rural Schools.

For the boy from the farm this
much needed change can be most
easily and effectively brought
about by the introduction Of Ele-
mentary Agriculture as one Of the
subjects Of study in school. and es-
pecialIy by the establishment of
the School Garden. The boys in
terests in farming operations have
already been awakened at home;
and if the school will but utilize
these Interests and show the rela-
,ion of farming to other industries,
to trade, and to prog ress in all that
makes for mans comfort, it will
be quite easy to interest him in
such other subjects IS history,
geography and arithmetic. These
subjects will come to mean some
thing to him because be will see
their relation to the farm activities
in which he is already interested.
Besides. the boys observations
outside of school have already in
troduced him to the elements of
many sciences; and instead of put
ting him at work in school on sub
iects entirely foreign to his educa-
ton UP to the time be entered,
the elements of knowledge should
be made the starting point Of his
school work. His early knowledge
should be deepened and made more
accurate and extensive. 1t would
be much more valuable than many
ef the puzzles in arithmetic and
memorized list Of dates and names.

Ed Butler confesses that be has
been helping the Democrats to
steal elections ia St. Louis for the
past thirty years. which leads the
Republic to inquire as to what
party Butler was helping when
Republicans were in power in the
city! The answer is in Buffers
confession itself, but the Republic
refuses to soc it. Butler states
that the city Of St. Louis is Repub-
lica3 to degree that without the
aid of ''the boys the Democrats
had no possible chance of carrying
it. Therefore. it is safe to assume
that whenever the city had Re-
publican administration it was be-
cause the devilment of Butler and
his ''boys" in the interest of the
Democratic party was not sufficient
to overcome the normal political
condition of the city. Buffers
confession is best corroborated by
the election figures in St. Louis.
A few years ago the Republicans
bad a majority of about $4,000,
which Buffers "boys". aided by
the state machines partisan police
force. turned into a Democratic
majority of almost equal proper
tions. Butler has frankly pro-
claimed the cause of this unreason-
able reversion of the sentiment of
the voters. it was accomplished by
thievery and fraud at the ballot
box. The blush of shame must
mantle the cheeks Of all honest
Democrats to feel that the great
contributory cause of their pzrtys
long reign in Missouri was the
stealing done by the Butterflies,
they were unawares in political
partsanship With prime ,rascals

4 writer IN an eastern magazine
taking the frequent accidents OF
railroads and their attendant fatal
tiles as his theme. renders lhe
opinion that these accidents may
be attributed largely to the over
worked condition Of the railway
employees. There il much truth in
what be says in this respect. 70!
trainmen are frequently required
to work continuously from twenty
to thirty hours. with perhaps few
hours Of broken rest Intervening.
which brings no recuperation &c
mind and body. 1t will be noted
that railroad accidents have appsr-
entity grown in frequency and in
number Of casualties with the
opening Of the heavy Worlds Fair
traffic, aud that since the begin
ming of this traffic excessive de-
mands haye been made upon the
operatives to keep the traffic NOV
ing. The complaint of the en-
ployes on this point has been gen
eral. they have been oyerworked,
and with mind dullea and body
worn out it is not TO be wondered
at that they have lost caution and
an accident occurred. The re-
sponsibility Of these accidents,
however. must bear more heavily
upon the management of the rail
roads than upon the men operat-
ing the trains. 1t was the busi-
ness Of the companies to supply
their trains with sufficient num-
Der Of crews to enable the men 10
obtain Il regular and recuperative
rest. Their only excuse for not
doing this lies. undoubtedly, in the
grasping greed to swell the earn
ing of the roads by keeping the
operating forces down to a mini
mum. State legislatures may well
look into this question, and enact
more stringent laws for the safe
conduct of railroad traffic. Inas-
much as in England such laws OBJ
tain with the result that for per-
iod as high as twelve months not 8
passenger was killed. it argues
that the same can be done in this
