THE CLOSE OF THE YEAK.
The present issuo of the Faumkr
clones our record of the Centennial
Year. The year that is past has been
rich with nssochtions and will bo re
membered in history as oventful in
many respects. The groat Industrial
Exposition hold at Philadelphia was
the llttest way of celebrating so mo
mentous an occasion, for by no other
means than an exhibit of tho produc
tions and industries of our peoplo in
competition with all nationalities could
tho importance of tho century that is
gone, and tho achievements of Ameri
can civilization mid tho progress made
in tho Hrt.s and sciences as well as in
cultivation of the soil and useful manu
factures bo made ovidont. Whilo we
do not equal tho art, science and Uteri'
lure of tho old world, it has boon bo
cau"o wo are tho result of a new idea,
the prohuct of a utilitarian age. Hut
wo havo niiulo great strides towards
excellence in Ileitis of art, the domain
of M'iencoaud tho realm of literature.
It Is not too much to bcliovo that with
the growth of tho century to como
America will mnko great advanco to
wards perfection in all that marks tho
growth and development of mind and
be behind no other nation and no oth
er ago in the cultivation of intellectual
graces.
During tho years and decades that
have gone by since tho Declaration ot
American Independence we havo
grown from two millions to be a peoplo
of forty millions. Tho two mllliors
were hemmed in between tho Eastern
t-on board mid the nearest mountain
range that ran parallel with it, whilo
tho forty millions havo sailed
Alleglmnio's havo peopled tho
great valleys ami ranges spread
over the Interior of tho Contin
ent, mid cover tho MI.-sKsippl and all
its tributaries with an inland navy that
has become a living wonder. Domes,
palaces and spires look down from
shores whero great cities are now en
throned, uml where commerce grows
into a magnificence of trade of which
the old woi Id never dreamed ami of
which soothsayers never prophesied in
tho dull age, a century gone, when our
hires swore fealty to freedom with a
tyrants halter the only reward promised
for their failure. To the American cit
izen of 177ii the region west of the Al
leghany range was an unknown land
whoro Indian tribes ruled supreme. It
is not prob.tblo that our fathers knew
as much of tho Mississippi valley as
wo know to-day of tho Islands that
constitute tho Empire of Japan, mid
yet, boforo the century had gone that
was born when tho r-kirmish of Lex
ington was answered by tho cannon
that thundered from Ihinkor Hill, tho
great valley region of tho Continent was
subdued and had lieconio homesteads
fjrtens of millions of our people, aud
Continent, had made gardens on the
deserts that glare in tho Western sun,
had scaled the Sierras of the Pacific to
discover greater and more prodigal
treasure than earth had over known, or
of which man had ever dreamed, save
iullto wild exuberance of the tales of
tho Arabian Xights. And better still,
it had peopled rich valleys that slum
bers all along the Coast between the
Sierras aud tho Western Sea, and plan
ted cities that shall grow greater as
mines of gold and sih'er may fade
away, maintained by commerce, man
ufactures and agriculture that afford
tho truest wealth and a more perfect
civilization than can mingle with the
semi-barbarous struggle and conflict
that accompanies the search for silver
and gold. Tho white haired poet lives
to-day who sang in his youth that won
derful song of the dead, theThanatop
sis, where his extremest metaphor de
scribed "The continuous woods
Whoro rolls tho Oregon, and hears no sound
Save his own dashing."
And yet before the poet's life has passed
awuy, we, who were infants or unborn,
aro peopling the shores, filling the for
ests, and bearing hither, to plant and
cultivate in all perfection, the spirit of
Freedom, the Genius of Progress, and
tho elements of a true enlightenment
that at last has spanned a Continent,
invaded its waste places, and ends the
Westward inarch of man that has gone
ceaselcsslyon, since the firstempire was
planted on tho shores of the Euphrates.
If tho doubts that environ, and tho
political dangers that threaten the
American people as this memorable
year fades into twilight can bo dispers
ed with the advent of tho other cen
tury, so as to prove that Americans are
truly capable of self-government, and
that the spirit of our institutions insure
that tho right shall prevail If the war
of factions can cease long enough to
permit justice to decide tho complicat
ed questions of the hour If tho epoch
can devolop statesmanship of an order
that shall comport with the patriotism,
self-sacrifice and devotion of 177G,
which demanded Freedom that it
might bo left as a heritage for prosteri
ty then the triumph of America will
be perfected and tho history of tfio
century bo rounded off with a com
pleteness of which wo may well bo
proud.

Wo aro pleased to know that the
movement for carrying out tho co-operative
business plans that were adopted
at tho lato session of tho State Grange
is mooting with so much succoss ns to

full proportion of tho capital fund, and
wo see no reason why other counties
should not do likewise. Hecent olforts
at canvassing for stock have mot with
tho most encouraging success, and it is
probablo that tho incorporation will be
perfected and business organized early
In tho Spring.
