Alwajs Bought Bears the Bignaturo of V. 1IUXTIXHTOX AND THE MAN WITHOUT A HOE. The death of Collis P. Hnntington makes it proper to say now that he was the "ItesiMjusibility" who- otTeml through The Sun a year ago the prizes of SitNl in what was widelv knowu at the time as The Mad Witliout the Hoe" competition. The shallow and meretricious pht losouhy of Kdwln itarkham's- verses provoked In Mr. Huntington's mind a desire to see the true dignity of manual labor asserted with tKwtical strength and grace of expression. He liellevetl that no calling was more honorable than that of the man with tlie hoe. Himself a great captain of Industry through many years of his extraordinary active 'and successful career, he. understood, the oiiortuni ties oien to tbe American who is not afraid or ashamed to work with his hands, when work for the hands Is all that, offers; and he wrote to The Sun on July -lidth of last year: "Either the 'Man with the Hoe' is a type of the great mass of those who use farming implements for a living. or else he Is an exception.- If the latter, then the strength of the senti ment uttered lies in the concealment of Its weakness: and, if the- former. then the ioem does wrong to a luost resjiectable and able-lodied inultl tnde of citizens, every one of whom ought to resent Mr. Markham's at tempt to throw 'tlie emptiness of ages in his, face.' and certainly de serves better of the poet than to 1m? called a 'monstrous thing' and "broth er to the ox. "What about the man without "the hoe? he who cannot get work, or hav ing tin opiMH't unity to labor, won't do it? There are thousands of young men in this country who have been educated up to the point where tin1 honest and healthy occupation of their fa tliers in tlie field lias become distasteful to them, , and in many cases they have grown to lie ashamed of it and of their parents. In Eur6- peau countries, particularly, there are multitudes of young, -men, tlie young est fons of titled people, for instance, who have lieeii taught that common lalior or work in the?trades is beneath them. They must liave money. . but they must earn it only iu a genteel way. "These lire the men without the hoe tlie real brothers of the ox. Who shall tell their story? Who shall best sing the bitter song of the incapable who walk the earth, driven hither and thither like beasts by the impla cable sentiment of a false social edu cation, suffering tlie tortures of the damned and bringing distress uion those dependent On them because they have lost that true Independence of soul that comes to him who. dares to lalior with his ha nils, who wields the -hoe and is the master of his des tiny?" We know of no better 'tribute. to tlie memory of a remarkable man than to reprint these manly words, ringing with the American spirit the, spirit which-has made our count rv what it is. It will lk news to many people that Mr. Huntington concerned his mind with questions like thee. There Is no parallel that wo raiv recall' to his generous offer to the poets; an offer inspired by a deep and genuine Intel lectual and moral interest in the sug gested theme, and made under the express condition that the identify of "BesjKinstbilit j-" .should not be dis closed, tlivt he might not be susjeet tsl of any 'desire to advertise himself, or to seem" to pose--with patronage of any sort. Thar. Mr. Huntington's prizes did not elicit any poetical production' ade quate .to hi own ideal -was to be ex Mcted. The Incident 'however, is not the less honorable to his memory. X. Y.

Tlie American people! prides itself oil being in all things inteustdy practical and alert. A review of the luechaulcal Inventions placctl to the credit of this country shows that in almost every in stance the aim ol all the Inventors has been to save time and labor and, therefore, money. Our quickness in business methods is the wonder and despair of the rest of the world. This, we assume, is granted even by our foreign competitors. ! I Why, then, do we cling with tena cious conservatism to a system of commercial correspondence that" Is wasteful of time, energy and money, and productive of absolutely no good result? ; We do, however, and the cus tom to ' which reference "is , made Is none other than the use of Dear Sir, at the beginning of a letter and "Yours very truly," at Its conclusion. These, phrases are-admittedly abso lufeiy meaningless. Tliey are "soft words," and :they butter no parsnips." Little by little the forms of address have been condensed until such old school phrases as "My Dear and Bes ieetefi Sir" and "Your humble and Obedient servant" are obsolete. Why not continue the good work and "re form it altogether?"" Why not adopt tub following sensible, straightaway, business-like form: ' John Smith & Co.: ; We wish to order, etc. T. Brown & Co. That is what you mean. Why not say it and stop? If the words criticised as superflu ous meant anything at all, if they softened any asperities or 'created any more cordial relations between mercantile hiuses, they might lie ex cused or even commended. But, as a matter of practice, they tire. attached to "duns," to reproofs, to complaints, to every form of - couiuuicatiou. and they are as thoroughly worthless as a campaign button oh a cigar-store In dian. It is' pathetically true that the average "reform" is usually product ive of confusion or extra labor. But it is insistently urged that the omissions- advoca ted above are not open to any fair criticism. Xow, if one 'or two leading houses with voluminous correspondence should come out squarely in favor of this idea and put it into immediate execution it would not be one year liefore there would be a general revolt against this tinie- squandcriug, old-fogey formalism. and all hands would be benefited.
