Apathy of Americans Regarding Public
Rights.
The apathy of the American citizen
at large as to public rights has also
been a matter of remark, as contras
ted with the tone prevailing in Eng
land in that regard, or in this country
(luring the post-revolutionary period.
Public action is shirked, and peo
ple of education and character,
through apathy or absorption in priv
ate interests, allow themselves to be
governed by vicious dcspoilers. The
Irish people, who have immigrated
here in herds, with their energy and
cohesive force, have utterly driven, fo
far as tur seaboard cities are con
cerned, the old colonial decendents
from the administration of public affairs-
As regards the city of New
York, which may be considered typi
cal in this matter, Prof. Bryce, the
philosophic English observer, remarks
that there exists in that city "such a
witches' Sabbath of jobbing, bribing,
thieving, and prostitution of legislative
power to private interest as the world
has seldom ' seen." The above criti
cism applies also, in a great measure,
to national politics, and the present
jobbery and , general venality are in
terrible contrast with the high-minded
and patriotic administration of public
affairs during the early years 'of the
Republic. Even the upper chamber
of our national Sanhedrin is now no
toriously filled, with some exceptions,
by men who have gained their legisla
tive places through their enormous
wealth, which has been so applied , as
to crush competition, and legislative
action, there, is now controlled mainly
by those whose merit is neither char
acter or statemanship.' A former clerk
of the United States Senate recently
stated that national politics were dy
ing out at Washington. "It is rare to
find a man," said he, "in cither branch
of Congress,, who engages in legisla
tion with anything but a personal view."

of a "concern that claims to
make more Binder Twine every
year than all the other factor
ies combined." Don't be in
fluenced by such misleading
statements, but procure your
twine ot manufacturers whose
standing and reputation are a
guarantee for their veracity.
We handle the ' Famous

''more twine than all the other

do claim to have made and

any other one concern in the
world and their books will
prove their assertion.
Not only do we lead in
"Quantity'' but also in "Qual

Some people don't like
flowers. We do, and as the
Golden Rod, Daisies and Lil
lies are sources of pleasure
and satisfaction, so also are
the Deering twines sources of

them.
