FARMERS AND LABORERS.
Tbe St. Louis Republican says:
Events have made it clear tli.it the
authors of tbe "labor movement"
oommitted an egregious blunder
at tbe beginning. They made it
too narrow,. Starting it in the
name and interest of labor, they
so reetricted it as to actually ex-
clude more than one-half the labor-
ing men and women in tbe coun-
try. Is not a farmer a laboring
man? Does he not dig bis living
out of tbe soil by as faithfnl and
genuine toil as an iron-puddler, or
stone-mouldor, or cigar-maker?
And yet the 7,670,000 persons en-
gaged m farming in the country
are carefully excluded from par-
ticipation in this movement.
Perhaps this is becanso farmers
are land-owners, and therefore as-
signed to the proprietor class.
They are employers. But is this
a sufficient reason for excluding so
large a body of citizens, whose life
is one of constant toil? It is to be
understood that every person who
owns properly and is. therefore, a
proprietor, is debarred Irom tbe
movement? If so, this is a still
further limitation of the move-
ment, and it begins to dwindle
from one stage to another till it
must shrink into a very class af-
fair, which really represents not
more than one fourth or one-sixth
tbo great cause of labor.
The Repnblican sajrs in addition
that no cause can surely command
the public sympathy and support,
which estranges four-fifths ol those
who compose the public. The far-
mers constitute the most impor-
tant element in what wo call the
people of the United States and
they cannot be safely omitted in
the consideration of any real or
imaged grievance. They are the
numerous and powerful. They are
the bone and sinew of tho land.
But the expounders ol the labor
movement while demanding short-
er ho.urs and higher wages for all
engaged in industrial pmsuits—
excluding farmers—would involve
higher pricos for manufactured
fabrics and lower prices for food
products, which means lower pri-
ces for farmers. Tho logical de-
duction is that the labor movement
as now inaugurated is sooner or
later doomed to certain failure.
The movement ought to be wide
enough to ropresent the whole
cause of labor—not merely one-
fourth of it, anything less is a'class
movement and class movements
are invariably failures. The peo-
ple stiri govern this country, and
no cause which does not aim to be-
come the cause of the people can
hope to change limes and laws.
Th* Fort Worth Gazette says:
Sheriff Shipp has a very level
head. The whipping-post for wife-
beaters would not only be a meas-
ure of economy, but would do more
to prevent this shameful crime than
any other penalty that could be
devised. The man who will beat
a woman is not civilized, and the
lawa of civilization cannot reach
him. One good thrashing in pub-
lic would savo many poor women
from the outrages of beastly hus-
bands.
Wm. Poole and Joseph Font
were released from Sing Sing the
other day having been pardoned by
Governor Hill. Police Captain Ken-
ney, of New Torlc, on his death-
bed, said that the policemen on
whose evidence the men had been
convicted of murder, had commit-
ted perjury and that tho two of the
jurors who convicted them were
under aliases representing two re-
putable citizens.

—Jf. B. EcKtRT, a Pallas drum-
mer was caught at Edna by the
sheriff! He was taken before tho

—It is so dry in Brown county
that farmers are doing very little

enatcning up nis utuunenas viola Mr.
Walter E. Cotton, th® violin maker, Illus-
trated to me the difference between the
German and French ahools. While on*
was solid, Teutonic as it were, the other
waa light, airy and even sensuous. "It
ia a difference between nationalities," he
said, the while drawing melody soft and
low from tho 150-year-old instrument.
"The German nature is slower and heav-
ier than the French. A homely simile
would be as the difference between the
effect 0* a glass of porter and one of
champagne. One makes you somewhat
heavy and just a little stupid, while the
other makes the blood course through
your veins faster than before. When it
comes to playing a classical composition,
possibly a Frenchman will execute it as
well as a German, but in lighter compo-
sitions the former is far superior to the
latter. If a German has got a chord to
draw he draws it heavy. The French
schools in Paris and Brussels are under
the charge of the government, which
desires to encourage music. The teaching
of music is also a national matter."
"Of the two schools which do you pre-
fer?"
"The French within its limits, because
it wears better than the German. One
can't hear classical music forever. Beet-
hoven and Mendelssohn are good in their
way, but a surfeit of their compositions
tires one. It is the little touches here
and there, the light and shade, which is
the chief charm of tho French school, and
which makes it attractive. The fancy
frills are the invention of recent years.
A German violinist requires a long bow.
The Germans have the soul and appre-
ciate the works of the ancient composers,
perhaps, better than the French; Beet-
ho /en's concert is, no doubt, more lasting
than Sarasat's Spanish dance, but which
at the time is the more pleasing of the
two? The Spanish danco with its life
and airiness, of course. The French are
always looking out for style.—Brooklyn
Eagle Interview.
CHaracterifttlrs of the Long Island
Farmer.
All things else may wax and wane,
but not tho Long island farmer. As
lived his forefathers, so lives he. He is
unchanged and unchangeable. "A
phlegmatic, conservative old soul," says
the student of human nature; "the
tightest man on the face of the earth,"
exclaims the land spoculator; "a quaint,
charming people, living after the customs
of their forefathers," gushes the sum-
mer visitor. This latter is true.
A sharper contrast is nowhere else
afforded between the past and present
than on Long Island, the favorite water-
ing place of the United States, and at the
same time the home and ancient herit-
age of the Ix)ng Island farmer. New
Yorkers are fast getting possession of
the island, and in proportion are trans-
forming it; but adjoining their grounds
and villas stands tho old farm house,
with its weather-beaten, shingled sides;
its double doors and wooden shutters,
wh ich are as securely closed at night as
in the days when the Indians lurked
around. The old farmer may eount his
money by thousands, but he clings to the
primitive ways of his ancestors. The old
fashioned "hit and miss" carpets, with
the breadths overlapping each other, the
mahogany chest of drawers, the high
post bedstead and the ancient timepiece
still grace the rooms. Every Saturday
the brisk housewife scrubs and sands the
floor and paints the bricks before the fire-
place. Tho unchanged customs in the
fawning settlements are a marvel to
visitors. A lady GO years old was heard
frequently exclaiming: "Why, that is
just the way my mother did it!" The
progress of the Nineteenth century is no-
where visible.—New York Commercial
Advertiser.
A Popular Novelist's Beginning.
E. P. Roe's impulsion to novel writing
came from without. His novels are con-
ventional—not of the kind thought to be
artistic or to indicate genius or some-
thing like it. But they sell; they are read
rather than talked about. He was born
in a small town on the Hudson, and had
a leaning to theology. He studied it, and
became a country clergyman. The civil
war broke out, and he went with a New
York regiment to Virginia as chaplain,
lie had his spice of romance; he volun-
teered to accompany the body of raiders
under command of the chivalrous youth
Ulric Dahlgren, who rode into the Con-
federate lines surrounding Richmond and
lost his life by the daring act. After the
war he returned home, lectured on the
theme, and gradually retired from the
church. Being in Chicago at the time
of the Are lie was deeply impressed with
the calamity and inspired to attempt a
novel, which ho named "Barriers Burned
A way." It waa a remarkaable pecuniary
success, and deckled his vocatiou. He is
a literary farmer—an agricultural litter-
ateur. He spends his time between small
fruits and big stories and of the former he
writes fondly and knowingly. Chicago's
misfortune was Roe's fortune. Except for
the great fire he might still have been in
the pulpit, which he has relinquished for-
ever, having dropped his title of reverend.
—Chicago Times.
Pronunciation of Foreign Names.
A writer in The Century gives a sensi-
ble answer to the often perplexing ques-
tions of the pronunciation of foreign
names; whether "Simplon" and like
words should be pronounced "Samplon,"
or according to the spelling in English.
He says: "When there is an established
Anglicized pronunciation or form of a
foreign word it is always to be used;
otherwise, and especially In modern
European languages, where ignorance is
no excuse, the foreign pronunciation is
the only accurate one."
Ashamed 6t His Country.
Young Bartlett, the American boy
whom the venerable Baroness Burdett-
Coutts took to raise, ia a most extreme
Tory and an insufferable snob. He was
born at Plymouth, Mass., but is so much
ashamed of his American origin that he
simply gives Plymouth as his birthplace
in the brief biographical note with whioh
he is honored in the parliamentary direc-
tory, thus leaving those who do not know
better to suppose that Plymouth, Eng-
land, is meant.—Chicago Tribune.
First Plumber Joke of the Season.
"Thirteen thousand dollars for the
plumbing and gasfltting In my house!"
he exclaimed as he looked at the bUl.
"Yes, sir," humbly replied the plum-
ber. . Jjjfc "
"But the building and%md together
only cost $10,000."
"Exactly, sir, but I had to take to ac-
count the natural scenery around the
place. Natural scenery is always figured
in our bills."

vided with handsomely furnished houses,
