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.

1 . Ing Letters. .'.
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.
