AVo see this fact too clear ly manifest in all the walks of life. This is wrong, and its results are anything than satisfactory. In this enlightened' era, and with the numerous and easily accessible sources of information, no man or set of men .should depend upon another to do his or their think ing, blit should do their own think ing, especially upon public ques tions, and should do their own measuring of public men. This is a govsrdment of the peo pie, for the people, and by the peo ple, and unless men think for them selves, to a reasonable extent, and especially upon public questions, how can the will of the people be ascertained in these matters? We would prohibit no one man, or set of men, from promulgating or ven tilating his views or opinions upon any question pertaining to the general good, but the “ipse dixit” of no one such mau should become law and gospel to all. For if one man does the thinking for the state, for the county; for the mn nicipality, for the community, and the results of his thoughts prove disastrous, the fruitage thereof falls upon all. Far be it from free men, endowed v?ith the spirit of true manhood, to permit them selves to be thus dominated by self constituted autocrats. This has too long been one of the perils of our political fabric. And we are glad to know that there has been and is being, a great awakening among the people upou this vary point, and that there is a stronger tendency among the yeomanry of the country to think for themselves on general and public issues than aver before in the days that are gone. The laboring people oE the country are being better educated as to their personal and individual interests in matters political and governmental, and education on any line naturally leads men to thiuii on that line. But in this particular, men should not depend solely, nor too much, upon their teachers, but should exercise con stantly the.high prerogative and privilege that belongs to every American freeman, of thinking much for themselves. When any public question or general issue is sprung and foisted upon the people, the declaration of no one man, as to its propriety or special adaptability to the general good, should command from the masses an immediate aud ready obedience to his nod, but each and every man should resort to tlie multiplied channels of information springing out of reason and dis cussion, and cull therefrom data upon which to form, not an ex treme, but a conservative opinion. In short, he should digest these general issues as best he may, and evolve from them, if possible, then- practical workings, and thereby be prepared to act from the stand-, point of his own reasoning and judgment, and not solely from the sayso of another. There is too great tendeney, especially in the political world, among the masses to tie on, heart and soul, to the un supported declaration of. some lead er or leaders, who,- down in the se cret recesses of their hearts, are acting from selfish motives, with out stopping to think for them selves.

How is the time to subscribe for XII1-5 HOME JOURNAL The HOKE JOURNAL. 20,000,000 within the ensuing ten years, which is quite a conserva tive and safe estimate. But their application of theory to practice is only too plain in the incongruity of supposing that our population could iucrease to that extent with out a proportionate increase in the cultivated area, which would keep us on pretty much the same in dependent footing *we occupy at present, so far as food products are concerned. This rather impractical calcula tor seems to readily assume that our agricultural products are de creasing in the same ratio as the roports show New England farms to be successively abandoned,with out taking into account that q large proportion oE those hardy and practiced agriculturists sim ply change their abiding place, but pursue the same calling on a much larger scale further west, where the returns for their labor are more satisfactory. With the contracted vision of the true New England theorist, he cannot see beyond bis own environment. Therefore he seems to think that this continent is relapsing into a howling wilder ness because “Massachusetts has to-day as much wooded land as when it - was first settled, and far more than a century ago. From statistics issued from the American department of agricul ture for the year 1889, he gathers the impression that there has been a great decline in the yield of crops as well as prices iD the United States during tbe past ten j’ears. But he seems graciously disposed to admit that prices are gradually recovering, aud values have some what enhanced of late. That in duces him to think the farmer has a good chance to sell on a short market at pretty much his own fig ures, which is altogether too good (for the farmer) to be true. At the same time it would be a sorry day for the general public if a far mer or any other producer really had the power and privilege of fix ing his own price upou his own produce. Train robbing would then be too trivial to attract atten tion. Keeping production close to the regular cousumption creates a healthy demand. But dearth brings wi}h it distress more or less dire ful. Assuming that tbe population of this country will, in 1894, be 72,- 000,000, this buoyant calculator goes ahead to cipher that the sta ple crops will require an erea of 226,800,000 acres. Than he pre supposes that only 12,000,000 acres will in that time be added to the cultivated area and he promptly finds a deficiency of 4,000,000 acres, which he thinks will increase year by year until the fanner has things pretty much his own way. Abont that time he thinks we will begin to import cereals to feed our people. But before we do anything of that sort we had better stop feed ing our cerials to the farm stock and exporting the surplus. Be sides, we might stop burning them and allowing them to go to waste in the field because there is no de mand for them. -If our population should so in crease as to consume what is. now wasted on the farm, that alone would add greatly to the vealth of the country. Though our population may in crease ever so fast within the next ten years, there is no good reason to fear thet the farm products will not “keep up with the procession,” so to speak. to emphasize the fact that bit by bit it lias at length made its way into many minds of unfaltering Christian faith. Instances and il lustrations of this observation pre sent themselves continually. In the current numbor of the Fort- Macon Telegraph. A hundred years ago less-than one-twenty-fifth of the population of tbe United States was urban Now one-sixth of the people live in thirty-five cities of 75,000 popula tion and over, and more than one- fourth of them in cities of ■ 8,000 population nnd over. Never has the drift from country to town been so rapid as during the last ten years. The census shows that iu the older states some of the country districts have actually lost in population, uot only the natural nightly Review, for example, we I increase going to the cities, but read that Cardinal Newman, when Lut many people who had been he was so old and “his fingers so weak” that he could hardly hold his pen, wrote- to his confidential friend, Lilly, (the uncompromis ing Roman Catholic evolutionist) to express the mingled fear and gladness with which lie had read the proof of a chapter of ono of Lilly’s works. This is what he said : “I have been wanting to tell you with what great pleasure I identified with rural pursuits. This can only mean that under present conditions the cities offer greater rewards than the country— better opportunities to make mon ey, to obtain an education, to gain social or political- pramiuenee, to get all the things that satisfy a man’s ambition, gratify bis tastes and add to his comfort. As long as this is true, or ths people be' The Girl Who Woos. have read your proof. It is a re- lieve it to be true, the drift from markable result of Darwin’s work. I crountry to town will continue, and A negro school teacher in Tyler, Tex., under fourteen indictments for forgery, pleaded guilty iu each case and was sentenced to fourteen years in (he penitentiary. Owingto exposure I have been indisposed with acute rheumatism about six months. My skill failed to afford me any relief, and I was induced to try Bull’s Sarsaparilla, and must confesss that it entirely cured me. It is decidedly superi or to all other preparations of Sar saparilla.—B. B. Allen, M. D., Brandon, Ky. But the more I was pleased, the more I was frightened as you ex press tbe belief that the first men had tails. This is temerarious.” The whole note, down to the very last word, is characteristic; but the mixture of apprehension with in tellectual satisfaction is character istic of a class and a period, while his finely chosen “temerarious” is characteristic of the greatest mas ter of English who has lived this century. Hardly less characteris tic of a similar state of mind is an expression used by Bishop Thomp son of Mississippi in a volume of lectures published last week. The Bishop says: “If any man chooses to believe that something in tbe shape of a mau roamed the earth for centu ries even without rational speech rational sense, or anythin, which essentially differentiates man from a gorilla, I will leave him to his belief. I think it myself very foolish belief, and it has not to sustain it one atom of evidence. But I do believe, because it is quite reasonable, and Moses puls it so, that man was just an animal as he was first created. * * * And that animal being made, “God breathed into his nostrils the breath of two lives, and man be came a living soul.” Enidently Bishop Thompson nei ther admires nor denies tho evolu tion theory as a whole. He makes no reckoning whatever of the mode of creation, provided only that creation be understood to have been the act of God, and not of any blind force, physical or other. He thinks it “reasonable” to be lieve that man, as he was first cre ated, “was just au animal;” yet he is unwilling, and thinks it “fool ish,” to admit the comparatively unimportant detail that man may have continued “for centuries even” to be “just an animal as he was created.” Thus, bit by bit, and with manifest disrelish, the hy pothesis of evolution, if not adopt ed, is less and less indiscriminate ly denied by men of high place in the church, and of unquestionable Christianity; objections, if raised at all, are raised against mere mat ters of unpleasant details; and with the passing generation, even these lingering signs of antipathy seem to be dying out; faith in- God is not dying out; Christianity is not dying oat; and from the very heart of evolutionism there begins to come strong support of faith and Christianity. the discomfort of the rural popu lation which cannot, through fore of circumstance, join iu the move ment, will increase. Tlie conditions which have brought about this state of affairs are, to n lavge extent, artificial created by legislation. For a gen eration the policy of protection has prevailed, and the essence of that policy is discrimination against the great self-sustaining industries in favor of the weak and naturally unprofitable oues. It cannot iucrease the product of la bor, but can divert the profits of one class of producers’ to another class. Farming is the great self- sustaining industry of this coun try, and it is mainly, from it that the wealth must be taken to sustain weak, unprofitable industries, and make the persons engaged in them rich. So far has this policy been carried that the natural relative positions of farming and certain other industries has been reversed, farming having become uprofib*- ble, or nearly sc, while industries naturally incapable of sustaining themselves enrich everybody con nected with them. This policy oE the federal gov- eminent is the main cause of the tendency of population from the country to the towns, taking tlie country as a whole. In the South other causes add their influence. One of these is the existence of laws intended to protect the land- owner, but which, in rendering tbe transfer of laud in satisfaction of debt difficult and expensive, make real estate coparatively "worthless in the money markets. A young bachelor is an odd fel low, and some woman is always trying to get even with him. I may as well be frank at once and say I do not like the maid who does the wooing, writes Ruth Ash more iu the Ladies Home Journal. She is nsurping the privilege of her knight, and if 1 were he I would turn and flea “But,” says Ethilinda, “he needs encourage ment!” Perhaps he does. But not too much of it When you want to give an invalid something to increase his appetite yon do not offer to eat for him; instead, yon offer a dainty bit, a little spicy, or little acid, thnt quickens the taste and makes- a great hunger come.

No man has a true appreciation for good things too easily obtained. Man is yet a little hit of a savage, aud the hunt is always a delight to him. Your eyes may reflect his love, but they need not announce yours first, thereby sending crut an invitation. My dear girls, ask al most any man you know what his favorite flower is, aud, after he has thought, he will tell you either the violet or the rose. One grows sur rounded and protected by green leayes, and to get it perfect—that is, with a stem—you have to reach down and pluck it carefully, but in a determined way. The other is guarded by sharp thorns, and though it stands up in a most dignified way it resists, ex cept by its encouraging sweetness, the one brave enough to take it from tho parent tree.

In his Rochester speech Reed made the assertion that the major ity of democrats lived south of Mnson andDixon’s line. This is a big mistake. The democratic vote at the last presi dential election was as follows: North: California 117,729; Col orado 37,577; Connecticut 74,920; Illinois 348,278; Indiana 261.013; Iowa 179,S73, Kansas 102,745; Maine 50,481, Massachusetts 151,- S55; Michigan 213,469; Minnesota 104,385; Nebraska 80,552; Nevada 5,326; New Hampshire 43,382; New Jersey 151;493; New York 635,757; Ohio 396,455; Oregon 26,522; Pennsylvania 446,634; Rhode Island 17,530; Vermont 16,788; Wisconsin 155,232.

Total 1,920,244. It will bn seen from these fig- • urea that tin- democrats of the north outnumber their southern brethren almost two to one. Speak er Reed must be aware of this fact, but he lias long since shown that he h a.-: ini regard for either fact or figures when they stand in his way.

For years I was afflicted with an aggravated case of Tetter. I tried lotions, salves,, soaps, and other outward applications, without :iny beneficial results. In addition to the Tetter, Boils commenced breaking out all. over my body, causing me so much pain that I had to quit work and go to bed. I then decided that I had started wrong, and instead of using exter nal treatment I ought to go to the seat of the disease and purify my blood, as it was obviously bad blood that caused both the Tetter and the Boils. I took several blood purifiers without, any good effects. Abont tbe time my case was de clared incurable I commenced tak ing S. S. S.

But sbonld sickness enter the household, the physi- Franklins,” a family which is, in one respect at least, the most pe culiar in the whole cedntry. The Franklins are a family of coinci dences. The father and mother were married on October 14. They have had nine children, and all of them were born on October 14. Five of the nine children are-dead, and, strange to say, every single one of them breathed his last on the fatefnl 14th day of October. The name of the head of the fami ly is Joshua Franklin. He was a Confederate soldiea, and Alas cap tured twice, and had two brothers killed in the war between the states. All four of these mishaps and misfortunes of war occurred on the memorable 14th day of Oc tober. In the neighborhood where the Franklin family live, and in feet for miles outside of their im mediate latitude, tho “Frankiins of Glade mountain” nre looked upon with superstitions awe. It is said that not a single human being who knows of the mystery surroniuling the family can be persuaded to stay in the house or about the premises on either the day or night of Octo ber 14. dan’s usual stipend was discontin- *«£ tied. Such an agreement is found ed on common sense, for we don’t want to be made well, we want to be kept well. There is a great deal of unnecessary sickness resulting from a want of careful attention to bodily requirements.
