Here we are again with ou
budget. The weather is fine
cool and pleasant. Crops lool
good and farmers are hustlint
making hay; the second crop o.
alfalfa is now in. Fruit crop il
also fine. Strawberries are al
enormous crop-we have then
nine months in the year. Mel
Ons are looking fine, too.
Our city recently voted wet by
140 majority; it don't suit US,
but we make the best of it. The
officers are watching the 'blind
pigs" Our city is in a flourish
ing condition. All streets are
overhauled and paved and ce-
ment walks are made all over
the city. Our schools will close
the middle of June. We have a
centennial celebration this week,
this city being now one hundred
years old.
Our sidewalks are we'll deco
rated with those big hats, but as
long as they are on the sidewalks
we have room to get around, as
we have wide streets. But when
we go to church we can't see
who is talking. We sometimes
think the ladies look like an owl
out of a brush heap. Well, let
that 90 for what it will, we
think the sisters of the church
should be a separate people. as
the Word says, Come We out
from among them," &c.
California had an earthquake
on the 18th, but no damage was
done.
Health is generally good. We
have the best climate in the
world. Dear old aged reader of
the Journal, if you want to live
a retired life and have good
health, come to San Bernardino,
Cal. / am II years old, been
here seven years and have not
been sick an hour in all that
time.
A few hints now on farming.
I have farmed all my life and am
doing some yet. When I came
to this country the people had
farms and sold their stable fer
tilizer. l says why don't you
put it on your land? Oh, it don't
need it, it is rich, was the reply.
Reader, if you have a farm, do
not sell your straw, but stable
your stock and bed them heavy; !;
it will pay, summer and winter.
You may say that is work; that
is all right. He that does not
work shall not eat.'' It is this
way, if you have a cow and do
not feed her she will do you no
good; or your cupboard, if you
take out and put nothing in it
will get empty. So it is with
| your farm. Everything is cal
culated to go back from whence

Is Our American Dem
ocracy a Failure?
BY LEO.


BYLEO.
; Those who believe that tn,
trend of things political in thi
country indicate desire fo.
greater centralization in govern
ment have many things to say il
favor of their doctrine.
The vast sums of money annu'
ally expended on war vessels,
which, after a few years in com.
mission, are turned over into the
scrap pile because unfit for SER
vice in sea warfare-the contin-
ual increase of salary for politi-
cal service, or dis-service it may
be, from the presidents s compen-
sation down to village mayors,
from congressman down to coun-
try postmasters = the stealing
and grating so common in Off
cial life-the failure in city gov
ernment as evidenced by the a.
doption in so many cities of the
commission scheme which gives
vastly better results in efficiency
and economy, all go to show that
popular government as under
stood and practiced by the faith
ers of the republic is gradually
vanishing from the country. If
Thomas Jefferson could come
back to earth and visit his coun-
try at this time he would hardly
know the government of the ma
ton and states to be the same as
when he presided, one hundred
years ago. So they say.
Things have greatly changed
in one century, and even when
the perspective is only half OF a
century, we see vast changes,
occasionally for the better. but
many time for the worse.
Close inspection Of any period in
our history will find corruption
in Office; but at the present time
the crookedness of men in Office
outranks past offenses in the
general prevalence thereof. Look
at New York, think of Illinois,
and do not forget our own beau
tiful Ohio. Corruption stares us
inthe face everywhere.
Governor Harmon of this state
spread his net to catch some OF
the Republican grafters, and ne
caught some Of them, but to his
surprise, members Of his own
party also were in the net.
Grating is not the sin OF one
party. It disgraces men in all
parties. If all the thieves be-
longed to one party we could
easily exclude that party from
power and thus secure a clean
= administration of government.
Alas! grating has become a ma
tional sin.
Will these things undermine
and overthrow popular govern
ment in America? We think not.
Some remedy will be found in
due time. The city governments
in this country became SO Odious
that men had to invent a scheme
Of government by commission.
Three efficient men do better
management of cities than q

BANQUET OF THE BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION LARGELY ATTENDED
Affair Was Signally Successful
And Many Prominent Men
Were Present.
JUDGE REED GAVE ADDRESS

The "Glad Hand" banquet of the
Business Mems Association Thursday
evening at Hotel Imperial has never
been surpassed, probably, In Reynolds
Vile In brillisnce Of appointments, in
number of prominent men present from
all over the county, and In the main
object OF creating spirit Of friendship
among the citizens interested in the
varied commercial and industrial en-
terprises OF Reynoldsyille. Covers we're
laid for one hundred persons and the
large banquet room OF the Imperial
presented an animated sight when the
guests, who had gathered In the parlor
on the second floor, marched into the
room at nine o'clock to the strains OF
2"The Glad Hand" march, composed by
Prof. Arthur H Haskins, of Reynolds
vile, for the occasion The tables were
richly decorated with carnations and
loaded with the finest delcacies obtain
able by the management.
Throughout the serving OF the menu,
which required one hour and fifteen
minutes, the orchestra rendered con-
tinuous music, varying from the softest
strains to the stirring patriotic medleys
that moved the banqueters to long ap-
plause. The orchestra closed with
Salute to Reynodsville" especially
appropriate to the occasion. The best
OF feeling reigned among the assembled
guests and the flow OF conversation
never ceased, nor the laughter that de-
noted the happiness Of those present.
When the feast was over and the
cigars had been passed DR.. Thomas F.
Nolan in brief and we'll worded ad
/ dress introduced the POSTMASTER of the
evening, J. Owen Edelblute, who rose
i to the occasion with a humorous and
informal speech that harmonized with
the spirit of the event. Throughout
the balance OF the evening Mr.. Edel.
blute proved himself master in the
duties Of his office and kept the pro-
gram moving smoothly, introducing
each speaker with come graceful and
pointed remark.
It is no disparsgement to any speaker
of the evening to say that the opening
toast, 'True Greatness, by Clement
W. Flynn, ESQ.,, was the most eloquent
Ieffort Of the event. His fluent COM
mand OF English and the genuine nobil-
jity OF thought displayed in the address
moved the barqueters to sincere ap-
plsuse and recalled to their minds the
/ toastmaster's Introductory words: That
