re the north the reclamation Of
state and school lands means not

lieve our Southern neighbors are

one dollar spent per acre to drain

Loyalty 10 the Principles of Self
Government.

Every American should realize that
the principle of self government is a
higher principle than that of loyalty to
the best sovereign for it is fidelity to
the highest good of all and to virtue,
intelligence and God. He who shares
in the government gains in moral dig
nifty. His manhood is developed by re-
sponslbility. He loves and will main
tain a government in which his own
will and intelligent choice are involved.
He will feel that upon his single arm,
his single voice, his single life, hangs
the preservation of the government
and the national freedom. This is the
American feeling. 1t burns in every
true American breast.
England is the only truly free coun-
try of the old world, and the English
man is free man, but our glory is
that humanity itself, one and indivisi-
BILE, may rise to a higher plane with
us than in England. In England the
son treads precisely in the footsteps of
his fathers, and it is hard for man to
rise above the dead level of the class
of society in which he was born. There
is an oppressive weight resting on the
spirit of the lower classes, and as long
as the absolute caste system prevails
to such an unnatural and irrational
extent the government will feel no sin
cere desire to educate the people above
their present condition. Here Is our
undeniable ground Of superiority. Let
us not cast it away by allowing the
really vulgar idea of material luxury
to overcome and overwhelm the high
er and nobler good.-James NJ. Hop

CARE OF THE EAR.

Never wear cotton in the ears If they

Never apply poutce to the inside

Never wet the hair If you have any
tendency to deafness. Wear an oiled

Never scratch the ears with anything

months of his short life were spent in
sickness and inligeace. and his widow,
with five infant children AMI in the
