FARMERS WANT LABOR.

A MID the cry of unemployed of the cities for
1 a work comes an appeal of farmers in Lam
caster county, Pa, for help to till the fields and
harvest the crops.
The demand for labor in Lancaster county is
so pressing that the recently organized farmers
league has issued an appeal to the unemployed to
90 into the country and engage in agriculture.
How many of the unemployed will respond IS
a question Many of them prefer to stay around
the cities taking chances rather than work on the
farms The unemployed problem, however
would be somewhat solved should the idle OF the
cities betake themselves into the country. The
chief complaint among the farmers not only Of
Lancaster county, but elsewhere, has been a lack
OF labor.
When a man is without work the best thing
he can do is TO secure work wherever he can get
it to tide him over pecuniary troubles. 1t is true
that skilled mechanics who are idle because Of
the industrial depression would be lost at farm
labor but there are others unemployed not of the
skilled class who could readily adopt themselves
to labor on the farms.

ne OPPOSITION no BRYAN.

0OIONEL BRYAN will not have the unan'-

49,, a. Denver bv anv means. The Bryan men
!, New York have been routed and 1t Is now pc
re,ed that the Denver delegation from the Eln-
Dire State will be lined up soidly against tne Nc
braskan. r..,.,,;. dele
cation will be soHdly in opposition to him, ana
fhese two States alone, because OF their large rep
~oee,+a+;on in the convention would OF thenl-
ssi,,es furnish a formidable nucleus in any scheme
Tor the defeat OF Bryan. But in addition, the
MARYLAND. the New Jersey and the delegations
from the New England States Will be against
BRYAN according to present reports.
throughout the South there appears to be no
definite movement against Bryan. Undoubtedly
there IS much opposition in that part OF the coun-
trv to renominating the twice-defeated candidate,
but it does not seem to have assumed conerent
shane And the real extent OF this opposiuon Is
only piece OF guess work. Recently some oil the
so-called old-time Democrats have been lament
ING the change OF feeling among the Democrats
IN the Southern States. 1t used to be the custom
there to speak Of the Democratic and conserva-
tive partv but since the rise OF politicians OF the
Tillman and Davis stamp the old notion oi con-
servatsm has been obscured. Indeed, as new
senators from the Southern States are chosen,
they are revealed as a type different IN Thought
and action from that embodied in their predeces-
sors This is lamented by the old-hme conserva-
tive Democrats who have been writing IN the
manner we referred to. Actions of recent South
ern Legislatures also would indicate that the
BRYAN idea is predominant in the Southern States
and what opposition there may be to him will not
assume a tangible form.
throughout the West the anti-Bryan strength
Is problematic. Governor Johnson may develop
more following than the Bryan men believe, The
opponents Of Bryan, then, have chance OF sue
cess, despite the assumption generally made that
the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan is as certain as any
thing can be in this world.

Central Body and Linuor.


Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
I see in your valuable paper that the
Central Labor Union in this city is re-
tanning the stand taken during the
local option campaign in this State.
think they are making a great mistake.
I don't think they had any right what
over to take the stand they did at the
last election. They ought to take the
same stand as the Republican and
Democratic parties took, namely.
hands off," They did not do it. but
took sides for license.
Rum never elevated the worlSingman,
but TO the contrary, drags him down.
Some Of the best mechanics that ever
lived have been dragged down by the
curse Of rum.
over this question four locals were
expelled from the central body. / adj
mire the stand they took and give them
great credit for II.
I understand the central body wants
they to apologize to them for ther
position. Well, if 1 were in their place
would never apologize to anybody
who supports rum.
I often wish belonged to one of the
A!1aA1 NiloA WNA6 GADtltus WOuAu
consider - a great honor.
1 see also that the central body sent
a communication to Hon. Hiram r.
Burton, Delaware'srepresent with
reference to the subject. / hope when
he receives it he will not consider it
the sentiment of all union workmen,
for it is not.
I also see in your valuable paper that
the labor clans are at the Capitol and
will consider forming a new political
party. Well, If rum is to be in the
platform, the sooner they give up the
idea the better IL viii be.
The central body in this city or any
other city must not think they can grab
every union workman by the nose and
lead him up to the polls to vote for
rum.
If the central body is working for
the good Of their fellowman as they
claim to be, the sooner they get the
four locals back in the fold without any
apologies and drop rum the better it
would be for all. for "in union there is
strength" but "a house divided
against itself will fall"
Yours for the better OF the working
man.

So imagine Legislature composed Of en-
ployes OF railroad companies. The Legislature
might pass law without trouble putting all tax
alton on railroads.
Then, again, if the Legislature were composed
of af reporters they might pass a law declaring
that all reporters should be hanged and then lis
ten to the murmur of approval from those mem
bers of the mayors cabinet who have been
stricken dumb when the inquisitve reporter ap-
pears. The idea could be carried out definitely.
If il were true there would be no need of calling
for men representing this or that interest But
the idea is Utopian.
These examples, of course, are exaggerated

SELF INTEREST AND PUBLIC INTEREST

Fl OW far can a man abandon his personal in
terests for the interests Of the public?
That is a question that may furnish some food
for reflection.
We have heard the doctrine enunciated lately
that when man enters legislative hall or holds
a public position he becomes a different sort OF
person All his self-interest dsappears-is swal-
owed up in his desire to serve public.
Many writers on political-economical subjects
according to the old school tell that self inter
est is the motive of mans conduct and action
the impellng force.
This doctrine might counteract the opinion OF
the double identity of man and then again, it
might not If the theory that a man can and does
absolutely divorce himself from his private ai-
fairs, when he is elected to a legislative hall say,
holds good, it might be applied to practical use
and tested 1t would save great deal OF trouble
and thought and worry We should not have to
be on our guard against this or that interest
For instance working on this theory we might
have Legislature composed entirely of DOCTORS
and they would not be in the slightest way con-
cerned should anyone propose law compelling
doctors TO write their prescriptions so that the
drug clerk could read them without swearing
Divorced from their natural bias the doctors
would all vote for the BILL and if the Legislature
were composed entirely of drug clerks, the Legis-
lature would vote against the bill.

sentence Of his speech was this:
Law without liberty is despotism.
In speaking OF safety and sanity 1
believe that Mr. Lincoln, in his Gettys-

Judge Gray made this remark, after
calling attention to recent interfer-
ences with State and personal liber-

Editorial Opinion
New Castle Man For Governor.

Lewis Pilot.
There is growing sentiment in Sussex
county that the next Democratic nominee
for Governor should come from New Cas-
tie county. and It Is true that there might
arise conditions which would make such
a choice wise one to make. The rotation
plan, however is the best under ordinary
conditions and unless the delegates from
this county can be given sound reason at
the time for diverting from the usual Gus
tom, we are of the opinion that they will
hold out for a Sussex nominee. It will be
the wish Of all Democrats from this coun-
ty to name the strongest man regardless
OF his residence, and as an evidence Of
their sincerity it is noted that the sug-
gestion Of nominating a New Castle coun-
ty man came originally from Sussex coun-
ty, and more than that. 1t came from
a Sussex county Democrat who has been
for some time prominent in the list Of
those mentioned for the nomination.

Importanee Demands k.

Dover Republican.
There may be those who object to the
unusual interest displayed in the affairs
OF the Republican party OF this State. but
1t is because those persons do not prop
erly weigh the Importance OF the cam
paign which we have entered on. and do
not apparently appreciate the fact that
the result Of this election in this State is
fraught with portent for the life Of the
Republican party.
The entire state Administration with
all its departments is at stake in this
election And upon the leaders OF the Re-
publican party rests the burden Of so con-
ducting matters that the people may de-
mand the party be continued I'm control
Of affairs. To do this both policies and
candidate must measure up to the de-
mands OF the masses.
This point appreciated fully, as it must
be- WILL we believe, be accepted as full
explanation OF the urgent efforts being
made TO keep the party's organization In
tact and to strengthen rather than weaken
it.

The Farmer in Politics.

Lockwood Myrich, in American Agri-
culturist.
I cannot see that the farmers duty
in citizenship differs in any way fflm
that Of any other mans His occupa-
ton has nothing to do with his duties
as a citizen. He has more time to
think and comes less in contact with
aggressive commercial forces, and 80
Is more likely to think and act straight
than those less happily situated.
The farmer is exceptionally well sit
uated to engage In political reforms for
his business cannot be seriously in
jured by unscrupulous enemies, his
comparative isolation protects his
family to some extent from social af-
fronts. and he has fewer temptations
Of self-interest than those more direct
ly benefited by special legislation.
