EVERY MAN'S WANTS.
One wants women to vote, another
wants prohibition, yet another pro
tection, another free trade; on wants
railroads regulated, another tele
graph. One wants a postal telepraph
to belong to the postoffice depart
ment of the United States govern
ment, another don't. "We all want
our own pet measure and our own
candidate. One child wants the
moon, another the stars. "We all
want a half loaf. If we can't get it
shall we have no bread? Of course,
my friend, what you want is highly
important. You have abundant good
reasons for desiring it. But life
should have taught us all that we are
not likely to get all we want just yet.
"What is the next best thing to do?
Our method has been to get with the
band of men who come nearest to us
in their wants. If we can substanti
ally agree upon a few of the most
important wants of mankind we will
act together to acquire thdm. The
first thing we want is liberty. The
man who believes that slavery is a
good thing oannot come in with .us.
The reason is, all our .faculties were
given for use, and we want to see all
men free to use them. "We want edu
cation for all, that they may know
the be3t way to develop and cultivate
all their powers and faculties. Next,
after liberty, we want nil men to take
an interest in their fellow man. To
get them steady work at good wages,
to encourage them in temperate,
industrious and economical habits.
Then, to get them to think
for themselves, to take no man's
word for anything except he relates a
fact To let him draw no conclusion
for you, only to lot him help you to
draw it for yourself. That man does
you the best serrice who compels you
to think for yourself. He puts you
to sleep, and to a large extent kills
you mentally when he thinks for you.
Whoever thinks most is greatest, then
you say not quite. Thinking tends
to get yon right when you think.
Enough to reach the right and cling
to that, then you become good as well
as great. Then you think well and
aot right, that is wisdom, that is the
great thing. Eight thinking and right
acting come from right choice of
thought and action. Think right of
God, the source and ideal of all that
is right, then of man the chief object
of all earthly action, yourself in
cluded, and you will have made a
good start. You will then come into
perfect harmony with the eternal
vanites. You will have no contest
with divine law, no right human law.
By that time you will learn that love
is the fulfilling fof the law, all law
divine human. Then you are ready
for the golden rule, and the secend
table of the divine law. "Love thy
neighbor as thyself." "As ye would
that others should do unto, you, do
ye even so unto them." This is good
religion and good politics. Join with
all right minded men to put into ac
tion in the various circles of govern
ment all that is possible. If none of
you get all you want done, get all you
can.
An official statement shows that
the total land area .of the
United States, not including Alaska,
is 1,900,800,000 acres, and according
to the last censuB 536,081,835 acre3
were in farmB. A large amount, com
prising at least 300,000,000 acres, is
worthless either for culture or for
timber, so that the amount of public
lands available for settlement is real
ly about 973,950,000 acres. Becent
sales have reduced it to about 967,
000,000 acres. It will promote the
prosperity of the nation if the whole
. of this land is reserved for actual
settlers. The average area of the
4,008,907 farms of the Bepublic in
1880 was 133 acres each, and the
proper division of what remains of
the public domain would add about
8,000000 to the total number of
farms.
Twenxt-eight years ago today, the
first national convention of the pres
ent Eepublican party met at Phila
delphia, and nominated Jno C. Fre
mont, of California, for president,
-and "Vym: J. Dayton, of New Jersey,
for vice-president. The Democratic
national convention had met at Cin
cinnati, June 2, and nominated Jas.
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, and Jno.
C. Breckenridge, of Kentuoky, who
were elected the following November.
The selling or exposing for sale of
intoxicating liquors has been prohib
ited in Vermont for the last thirty
years, and yet it is said there are 426
places in the slate where intoxicating
liquors are more or less openly sold.
One of our country exchanges
thinks it is about time a journalist
was elected president That is why
we took Blaine.
