THE CALLING OF THE NURSE.

No calling has more rapidly advanced in pub
lie esteem the past few years than that Of the
trained nurse, and every movement looking to
improving the efficiency and widening the
sphere Of usefulness of those who adopt nursing
as a Network should engage the attention and
cordial approval Of the public. The meeting
next week of the American Society Of Superin.
tendents Of Training Schools for Nurses in Bos.
ton promises to be a noteworthy occasion in the
annals of the profession.
The trained nurse should be a nurse by in
stinct as well as by training. She should have
that undefinable something about her that
Gains. rather than excites, the patient. She
must love her work, as the true physician loves
his, having an instinct for relieving the suffer
ing.
The white-garbed angels OF the hospital wards
are doing a noble work. They give an air OF
gentieness and quiet to the sick room that robs
the hospital of much of its dread, and those
who have once been under their ministrations
are their friends for life. All honor to the no.
Bile young women who so forth from their
homes to the relief of suffering humanity.

nRl-WEATHER PHILOSOPHY.

1t it doesn't rain there will surely be a long
drouth, but some of us have been on earth sew
eral decades. and, while the clouds at times
have refused to lei down showers of blessings
for q season. the dronth has always been event
ually vanquished. So. as we are not responsible
for the weather. let's keep our heads as cool as
old Sol will permit and await developments.
Reports from various sections OF the State in,
dictate that early crops are stunted by lack of
moisture. but our farmers have a long season
ahead OF them, and rains now viii enable them
to harvest abundant late crops. The month of
May has been one of the hottest and dryest re-
called by even the oldest inhabitant, the long
in May having entirely skipped its usual
visitation, but there will doubtless come sufi-
cient late rains TO, in a measure, counterbalance
any loss that may have been suffered.

Futile ~IIurrying.

He hurries in the morning-gulps his coffee
down and flies,
He runs as If his freedom were At stake;
There's u straining of his muscles, a wild look
in his eyes
He must harry or there's something that will
break.
He hurries off to Europe and he hurries home
again:
He hurries when the dresses and he hurries
when he prays;
He has made himself the victim of q nerve
destroying strain.
And he has no time to ever think about
the price he pays.
lie has hurried through the seasons when he
might have paused to dream,
He has hurried from contentmeut and has
hurried through his prime;
He has managed to gain riches and is in a
way supreme,
But the world will not remember, for it never
has the time.

An OBJECT LESSON FOR THE PEOpLE.

The American people should keep their eyes
upon the United States Senate during the next
few weeks. In fact. it might not be a bad idea
for them to watch the upper house constantly
until such changes may be effected in the meth
cd OF choosing it's members as shall break the
strangIe-hold of the special interests upon the
legislative power OF the government. Ever
since. the Civil War the cormorants of com
merce have dictated the policy of the Senate.
Dollars have ruled and yet rule in what has
been In years gone by the greatest deliberatiye
body OF the world, Great financial interests
have looked upon senatorial seats as their
rightful prey. and they have not tailed 10 take
advantage Of every opportunity TO place their
tools In a chamber once honored by the presence
of some Of the greatest thinkers. most notable
orators, and purest patriots the country has
ever been proud TO honor.
The system, consisting Of the affiliated
financial rulers OF the country. have not hest
tated to bride right and left to land their men
In the Senate. Such interests fear the people
they fear direct elections by The p~eople-thcy
are afraid OF anything that makes for a public
awakening.
During the next few weeks the Senate must
enact or decline to enact progressive legislation
already passed by the House of Representatives
A careful observation of the senatorial line
up" will show that where senators have been
virtually elected by the people by means Of the
primary system they are on the side Of the peo-
pie. while the majority OF those named by POI
li,ical bosses and behind the closed doors OF
committee rooms stand for all that the corpo-
rate interests OF the country desire.

use vigorous, emphatic and expressive EngEsh
in speaking our mind on the subject OF the nj
ty-seyen varieties of demagogues who knock
business interests in order to advance their own
political fortunes, but we would, IN the strong
est language OF which we are capable, warn the
great business interests of the country that, II
they would escape the honest Indignation Of the
pubic. they must keep their money out of poll
tics and their tools out of political Office. This
government must be in fact, as it is in theory,
a government of, by and for the American peo'
pie,
We predict that the United States Senate as
it is at present constituted will do nothing con-
irary To the wishes of the henehciaries Of the
protective tariff system.

The Recall of Judges.

Ot course, We are not supposed to know, but
IL strikes us that this thing of the election
OF al judges by the people is quite the most
foolish YET. 1t is really the cause of more frfts~
carriages of justice than the recall, yet in addi-
ton there are some who want not only to
elect Judges direct. but they want to use the
recall on them. With this whip hanging over
thelr heads, the Judges-many of them-would
be AFRAID to move. The truth is our courts OF
justice would be more effective were the Judges
OF the superior court appointed just. as they
are IN the Federal judiciary. If we will lay aside
our fads and all this rot about getting back to
the people, We Will realize it: we see 1t almost
daily, a judge of the United States court is
appointed for life. II he violates his oath of
office or is guilty Of crime, he can be i'm
