VERY PLEASING CONCERT

From any standpoint one may view
it, the concert given at the Congre-
gational church Friday evening by the
Ripon College Glee & Mandolin club,
was a great success. The program was
not only high class one, but teemed
with many clever and entertaining
numbers, some of which were un-
usually pleasing to Grand Rapids
people owing to the fact that our own
Hugh Goggins was participant.
The concert was well attended the
receipts totaling Sl24.35, and many
who were present pronounce the en-
tertainment one of the very best
college programs ever rendered in the
city.

tor last week.

Much and lasting good grew out of
these orders. They enlarged The men,
tai horizon of the farmer andilaboring
man and caused him to perceive, as he
had never dope before, the greatness
OF his calling and his mastery OF finan.
cial conditions.
These organizations caused the
farmer to assert his inherent rights
and in them was the nest egg for ma
ny wholesome laws we have to-day
and they-the farmers-were the
first to originate and pronounce in ia
vor of many policies that are a part of
the national Democracy of to-day. In
the Farmers Alliance was begun the
first united and determined opposi-
tiOn to boss rule in politics in MissisS-
ippi and a fight against the conven-
vention system which led to a prima-
ry election law. The Alliance leaders,
taking part in politics, were often the
objects of deriSion and the oft-repeat-
ed target Of criticism by political
bosses, but they fought a fight and
did a work that means a permanent
benefaction to all classes. The. Grange
and the Alliance accomplished much
towards reforms. Their leaders were
wiser than any one knew at that time.
Reform leaders are necessary. Again
we repeat that reforms do not begin
among those who live in luxury, and
whose bank accounts are in the MIL
lions.

BREWER AT lUKA.

Circuit Court convened at Iuka last
Monday. One of the good citizens Of
that town writes us of Hon. Earl
Brewers speech there that day inithe
following language:
"Mr. Brewer spoke from a little past
IL to the same time past twelve NJ.
The fact that he was to speak at that
hour was not generally known, as no
posters had been struck. But the
courthouse was packed, seats full,
standing and sitting in windows. Be-
ing limited as to time, he could not
touch on all points of his platform,
but took up the chief matters and
caught and held his crowd. Their
applause began early, but was re-
strained in some measure by the
mental fear lest he say something
which might not be heard, But as
he climbed up to such lofty attitudes
of truth and displayed in such lus-
trOuS words the shining principles Of
justice and virtue, the audience be-
came wholly unreStrained in applause
some choosing to clap their hands,
some to stamp with the foot, and
numbers to shout with their voices.
So he has risen from being unknown
to being popular and his supporters
are 1.-THE people" While other can
didateS have some following, l heard
many business men say that he will
carry this county surely"

Under the plan proposed by Hon
Earl Brewer for a change in the dis
tribution of the public school funds
the white counties, that is thos e
counties where the white people are
in the majority. would be large bene-
ticiarieS thereby. Calhoun
county, for instance, instead Of re-
ceiving S12. 900 on the state distribu-
ton a it did this year, would get
81, 600. Choctaw instead of getting
$40, 600 would get Sl5, 1000. Tisha-
mingo county would receive $l2, 900
whereas this year it got $1,000. His
plan is a just and equitable one and
would undoubtedly put the greater
per cent of the school money in those
counties where the white people are
numerically the largest as compared
with the negroes.

WHERE REFORM BEGINS.

Evils flourish in every government
known to man. They seem indigenous
tothe political atmosphere Society ever
has by no means reached that altitude
OF perfection where roses bloom all the
while and where there would not be
marked contrast between the purity
of snow and some of its performances.
lnaSmuch as these things are indiS-
putable facts, it is necessary for some
one to constantly proclaim against
Wr~ong-dOing and to lead the forces of
good in a crusade against malevolent
practices. ReformerS are as impor-
tant to the healthy growth and deyel-
opment of political and social life as
the Suns rays to the grass, as the dew
to theflower. The man that studies the
inconsistencies and the incongruities
in his w life and character is daily
trying and wishing to reform himself.
Reforms are indispensable and some
body must lead them, but where do
they begin? In what classes of life
do you expect to find the initial work
OF reform? Reforms begin at the bot
tom and not at the top and work down.
Aristocracy never starts any reform.
Wealthy potentates are never crusad
ers in any healthy movement. Re.
forms begin among what the world
is pleased to call the middle classesn.
Their lives beget a proper apprecia-
tion of the burdens and problems that
confront their fellows in the struggles
OF life. From the So-called middle
classes comes the Drawn, the brains.
the hope, the aspirations and the in
tegrity Of the future. Considering
these matters, Jul mind adverts to the
Grange and the Farmers Alliance.
