It will not disappoint you in the long run. If bad laws are in the way they will be repealed, provided y ou help compel their rtyieul. The g )od common sense of the American peo¬ ple will right all political wrongs. Our resources are almost unliuiit ed, our recuperative powers are un¬ surpassed. The world must have our products . Conditions are vap inly changing . Population is now increasing faster than farm areas, and demand is rapidly overtaking supply. The future is bright for the level-headed American farmer. He may not get rich, but lie will V e prosperous; lie can have plenty of peace. The ambition to be rich has ruined thousands, and thepos session of riches thousands more. It is an unholy ambition, and its realization is too often accomplish¬ ed by the surrendering of every el¬ ement of true happiness, Be cou tout with a competence, with plen¬ ty, with a virtuous life, a happy home, a loving wife, children who will honor their parents.—Mariet¬ ta Journal. EXTRAVAGANCE. The following extracts taken from Senator Clay's able speech in the United States Senate recently indicate extravagance with which the affairs of this government is administead. It seems impossible that wo can keep up our credit at the pace we are now going. In 1SG0 at the close of Buchan¬ an’s administration the popula¬ tion of the United States was 81,- 448,221 and the expenses of the government amounted to only 77, 055,126 or a per capita tax of $2.46 a decrease of four cents over the administration of Mr. Jefferson. In 1890, at the close of Mr. Cleveland’s administration, our population was 71,208,000, and the entire expenses of the govern¬ ment was $4.94 per capita, a re¬ markable decrease over the pro¬ ceeding Harrison administration. The tax payers of this country paid the enormous sum of $7.87 pec capita for administering the affairs of this government for the year of 1899. The head of a fam lly „lth a wife and five children at tin. rate ronld pay into the trea sury $48 to meet the extra! agance of its bosses. Placing the population of the United States for 1900 at 77,000, 000, the , expenditures ot our gov erumeut, per capita, fot the year 1900, would i be $9.01. A1 The expen ditures for the year 1901 would he $9.59 ^ CA per capita.—Marittta .. w • ., Join- j' vr i i fig, ••uv : A~--'AAA- ■ ' • ’••■■■•■ gd ■ V* : V v n'?,- > • jRPlfejji;-'' il lBlsgu dlU: . m A iV ji •v.i-;| ...... «*SW#S* ' ■' ^Sff v ■ ur myp : . : ;, ' , . , W .-a,; % v-'; -,1 ' : te ' §ISG ■ . , m m ■ ■ * : iy k LIEUT, [EDWARD H. fALMAND.f The gallant young officer of the 29th U.
