A Common Sense View of It.
' "Wouter Van Twiller," a writer con
nected with the Wilkesbarre Record , fell
to discussing one of the side issues of |
politics the other day, and the following |
sensible conclusions' were arrived at
upon the .matter under consideration.
He says:
i "It strikes me as being very funny
I that men who can write their checks
i for thousands and have them promptly !
! cashed should not feel just a little fool-
I ish when they ask a newspaper to
: give them part of its space for nothing.
I These same men would be insulted if
you offered to buy them a dinner or a
suit of clothes, or a night's lodging, j
And yet they do not feel at all humbled j
when they ask the newspaper man to j
give them free advertising. That
portion of the paper which he desires
for a free gift costs money. Thousands
of dollars must be spent on machines
: that set the type, tens of thousands
on the machine that puts the impres
sion on the paper—hundreds of dollars
every week to the men who write the
news, work the machines, run the
presses and distribute the papers. Rut
the gentleman who is out for an oflice
because of the salary, makes no bones
of asking a newspaper to give him this
space free.
"Duty to tin? party, say you? StnlT
and nonsense. The party newspaper
does a thousand times more for the
party every year than the party ever
does for the newspaper. It is the party
newspaper that keeps the party alive,
cheers it on to the victory, no matter
what the odds against it may be, eon
soles it in the hour of defeat, and lights
the great battles of principle when the
oIUco seekers are hiding in the rear.
The reputable party newspaper owes
nothing to tin; men who seek salaried
olliccs, unless they stand for the prin
ciples of the party. Rut the men who
seek ofl'ice owe very much indeed to the
generosity, the self-restraint and the
good nature of the newspaper men, who
very frequently lift them out of very
deep holes, from which they could never
scramble by any other means. For this
service the newspaper man rarely re
ceives even a word of thanks. The
oflice seeker, after ho has secured his
oflice, forgets all about the newspaper
until his term expires and ho needs
some more free advertising.
"Duty always impels a newspaper
to look after the business interests of
the community. It owes much more to
the dry goods man, the grocer, the shoe
man and the merchants generally than
it owes to the oflice seeker. Yet who
ever saw a reputable, self-respecting
business man asking space in a news*
paper to advertise his calling unless it
be in the advertising columns at regular
rates? And yet where the average
merchant pays thousands of dollars
over the counter of the newspaper bus
iness oflice, the average oflice seeker
does not pay hundreds of cents. Now
I hold that the man who is looking for
;i local salaried oflice is just as much iu
business as a dry goods man, the
clothier or the shoe dealer, and that if
he wants to advertise his calling he
should put his "ad" in the proper col
umn and pay lor it at regular rates."

The Fcarnots ball on Friday evening
brought to town people from all the sur
rounding places, and it was a merry
gathering that held forth at Cross Creek
hall. The boys succeeded admirably iu
making the evening one of pleasure for
all, and the credit of this Is duo to Mas
ter of Ceremonies Edward Gallagher and
the several committees which assisted
him.
j The question that is uppermost in the
| minds of Drifton minors today is;
i "How many days" work will we got this
' month?" The question is really an im
| portant one, as many of the employes
here have not earned .enough in the
past four months to properly provide for
their families.

in the general oflice, and will for the
future attend to the outside work of the

[Special Washington Letter.]
With satire sublime the poet, Saxe; re
ferred with laughter, jeers and sneers
ut the pretension 8 of a peculiar class of
people, saying that the rott'enest thing
on the whole earth is American aris
tocracy.
Saxe was u satirist, a wit, a rhymer, a
philosopher and a keen observer of af
fairs. He never wrote a line for the
public without due consideration, and
his works will stand forever as a monu
ment to the memory of a man; a most;
manly man. There was virility,
strength, power, pathos and tenderness
in every thought that was given by
him to the people who loved him in life
and venerate him because of his
Rut John (i. Saxe never dreamed that
American aristocracy and aristocrats
could leap all bounds and barriers of
common sense as they are hopping over
them now. He could not foresee the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
Jle could not anticipate the Colonial
Dames. He could not telepathic ally
and clarivoyantly prognosticate the De
scendants of the Mayflower. Oh! if
Saxe could only have known that these
preut American faddists would ever
spring into existence, what a gridiron
ing he would have given them. How he
would have basted them. How he would
have roasted them. Rut, fortunate'y
for the jumpingjacks of modern society,
Saxe has dropped his pen forever, and
men of less pretentious literary acquire
ments must pay some attention to them !
in a tender, loving and Christian spirit. :
That is one of my missions, and the I
American aristocracy of the national j
capital shall have the benefit, of somo
time and tuneful mention in these col
umns. The plain people of this coun
try can stand it to read of thousands of
dollars expended for flowers and wines
at dinner parties in the larger cities
They can blindly believe that such pro
ceedings are necessary in city society.
They can hope that society will improve
as the Gospel takes possession of the
hearts and souls of society women, bir.
they will not be able to understand why

If ' '''

"WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE,"
it is necessary for these people to
demonstrate their antiquity of ances
try, nor their kinship with men and
women who did something for the
world.
Of course, everybody is glud that John
Randolph, of Roanoke, was such an
orator and statesman; but nobody can
understand why the entire Randolph
family of to-day should strut and plume
itself on the. work of the said John Ran
(lolj)li, of Roanoke.
1 had an ancestoron the staff of Gcorgi*
Washington; but that does not make
ipy newspaper writing valuable. The
old man was a good soldier, lie fought
for his country. He served the repub
lic. He drew up his feet and was gatb
< red unto his fathers. He did his duty
while on earth, and that is all there is
of it. Ido not see why I should join
an aristocratic society of Sons of the
American Revolution on account of
what that good man did. There is 110
bread and butter in it forme; and the
ancestry business will not pass current
at the butcher's, the baker's or any
other business place vrhere supplies arc
to be had for the table.
While Alfred Tennyson wns in the
vigor of manhood, he wrote manly
things, but when lie approached his
dotage, he became effeminate and lapsed
into a lordship. It was he who wrote:
" From yon blue heavens above us bent
Tho gardener, Adam, and his wife,
Smile at the claims of long descent."
Adam and Eve were not sent forth
from the womb of the universe to found
a race of aristocrats, They who look
hack to an ancestry of 100, 200 or 80C
years, might as well trace their lineage
back to tlie families of the old world,
and then keep on tracing it back to the
gardener, Adam, whence all of uscanic
When these proud Rons of the American
Revolution get back to Adam, they will
find that they are deKCClHlctl from a
coward, who tried to hide his faults by
laying t hem upon a woman. No wonder
Adam should lie pictured as smiling at
the claims of long descent. He must
see. from his present abode that better
men than lie have conic upon the scene
of artl ion and passed away, for the
world is growing better all the time. !
We have in Washington a society of
Colonial Jinnies, Tljeso ladies know :
nothing of t lie kitchen piano, common
ly called a washboard. They nevei
churned butter or milked cows. Prob
ably the original colonial dames, who
suffered during the revolution while
their husbands and sons were with
Washington, milked the cows and
churned butter and spun flax ami wove
cloth. Hut these gentle Jndjes would
be shocked if such facts were now pre
sented to them.
We have a society of Daughters of tin-
Revolution, and they are forming an
exclusive aristocratic set in this capital
city of the republic; right here at the
seat of the government of the people,
for the people and by the people. Are
tliey better, more refined, more virtu
ous, more commendable than the wom
en of the farm and fireside who darn
stockings, sew 011 buttons and patch
the boys' trousers? At any rate they
think so, and their assumptions are be
coming flagrantly annoying to plain
work-a-day men and women who pay
their debts and say their prayers lit.
home and in church.
A society is being formed in New Eng
land composed exclusively of descend
ants of the Mayflower. These gentle
Indies are tracing their lineage to the
foundation of the new world, and are
proud of being descended from the peo
ple who burned witches. The society
' 1 f
JOSII BILLINGS' FAMILY TRKE.
of the sturdy yeomnnry of modern
New England consists of better men
and women than those who came over
in the Mayflower. This is not said in
disparagement of the Mayflower peo
ple. They were good in their day and
generation. But the world is growing
more intelligent, and better every way.
Of the Mayflower people it may be said
as it is said of Samson. That tenable
fellow was a butcher of thousands, and
fell because of his association with an
evil woman. But he was the best man
of bis age, and was trying to serve God
according to his limited light. Nobody
wants to trace ancestry to Snmson.
Why should anyone want to trace an
cestry to the witch burners?
It. seems that when men and women
accumulate wealth and do not have to
earn fheir daily bread, they assume vir
tues which they do not possess. Then
they fall victims to the delusions which
bring in their train a desire to demon
strate superior ancestry. Jny Gould
was never such a fool. He was too
busy. Cornelius Vanderbilt never had
time to make a family tree. Abraham
Lincoln never sought 1o establish a line-,
age of lordlings. lie was too big a
man to look for bigger in the former
Lincolns. The search of ancestry is
usually carried on by small people, who
thereby acknowledge their own insig
nificance by seeking a superior an
cestry.
Confucius, Buddha, Zoroaster, Alex
ander, Caesar, Napoleon, Wolsey, Crom
well, Washington—those men sought no
ancestral strength to l>olster them up
and add to their laurels. Luther, Cal
vin, Knox, Wesley, Campbell did not.
"point with pride" to ancestors who luul
done soinellilug. They were too busy
doing and achieving things to engage in
such nonsense. Instead of heiug proud
of their families they were, making their
families proud of them.
The best family tree that I ever saw
was printed many years ago by .Josh
Billings. He said that inasmuch as
other people were having family trees
lie had looked up his own, and found
it to consist of a pair of upright wooden
pillars with a cross-tree over them, and
a rope dangling down. He said that
out of respect to the lamented deceased
he would not give, particulars of their
achievements. He added: "Thisissar
kosin."
Jll a comic opera, which was popular
a few years ago, there was a major gen
eral who purchased an ancient castle,
and said that he had Ixjught his an
cestors with the proi>erty. That also
was sarcasm, and the people who heard
the opera enjoyed it. The fact of the
matter is, that these descendants of the
Mayflower, Colonial Dames, and otlmr
ancestral societies <1 o not need an cos try
so much a.s they need good hard work.
If the millionaires and money kings
in other cities have time and inclination
for nothing better, for themselves ami
the ludies of their families, let them
fq>end their exertions in proving su
perior ancestry. But here in the na
tional capital, such proceedings are
out of place. The society leaders of
to-day will soon pass away. Their hus
bands will not remain in congress, nor
in the executive departments. They
will go out of ofliee, and become claim
agents or lobbyists, just as their pre
decessors have done. We can endure
an occasional epidemic of American
aristocracy better anywhere else than
in this oitv.
Unless this folly Is checked by plain
and vigorous public opinion, we shall
have another race before our grand
children nre grown; a race of chump*
who will form societies of the Daugh
ters of the Civil War. And many of
them will be desceiulents of deserters
and bounty-jumpers, sutlers or camp
followers, The men who fought be
tween 18(11 and 1806 were not fighting to
establish an ancestry of idiots. They
were fighting to preserve the union.
The juen of the south were not lighting
to set up an ancestry of iazzttroni. They
believed that they were establishing a
new republic. Their descendants must
not establish an Order of Jefferson
Davis; or a Society of Jtobert M. Lee.
Hueli things looic all the more ridicu
lous when we put them in the future.
They are bad enough In the present.
Let us be done with them,

SPRING FEVER.
A "Stato of Mind" "Which Oomee
with the Birds and Flowers.
It Is Easily Cured If One Only Has tlie
Means to Follow His Inclinations
A Sort of Migratory
Malady.
As the sun prows stronger and the
last lingering snowdrifts become gray,
i dirty streaks, as the earliest spring
S birds return and t lie brown earth
J steams and swells beneath the midday
warmth, there comes to us a restless
ionging for something different from
the ordinary life, which is perhaps the
survival of a migratory instinct trans
mitted from a long-forgotten ancestor
who changed his skies with the chang
ing seasons. Call it by v\ hatever na.nie
we may, "spring fever" or "bad blood,"
this state of mind exists and needs a
cure.
There is no better remedy for it than
to yield to the feeling, just us the birds
and lieasts do, to burst our bonds for a
little while and to spend a day, a week
or a month, if we can, "far- from the
maddening crowd's ignoble strife." It
matters little what the excuse maybe
that we make to ourselves and our busi
ness associates, whether it is to go fish
ing on the opening day or to collect
birds or wild flowers or to take a long
bicycle ride; any excuse is a good one
which for a time frees man or woman
from the restraints of everyday life and
gives opportunity for communion with
nature, now just stretching her arms
after her long sleep.
Although this restlessness conies to
everyone except the most hardened
business man, it does not come to all
at the. same time nor by reason of the
came causes. One man may recognize
its first symptoms as he walks through
the crowded streets and feels a warm,
soft air of spring blow upon his face;
another may be stricken as be walks
through a city park and sees the swell
ing butls of the soft maple or elm; a
third may sit at his desic dreaming for
nil hour over a letter containing some
chance remark which sends his
thoughts a thousand miles afield, or
yet another may And the sweet poison
in some spring odor or in the voice of
a newly-come bird. Whatever its cause,
ail know the symptoms of the disease
and all know the remedy.
Let him who dreams of brown, foam
fiecked streams, whose waters are
kissed by the swollen cutkins of bend
ing- willows and boarded by spraugling
alders, make ready his rod and shut
lor the trout stream. There he will
perhaps catch some fish, but whether
he does or not, he will find what is of
more worth to him than trout, though
he may not know it. He will see the
newly-come sandpiper wading along
the shallows of the stream, and the
•water thrush and the red-poll warbler
sedately marching by the water's edge;
the little tortoises scrambling along
the bottom, and the muskr&ts diving in
the quiet places. lie will hear the
merry gurgle of the blackbirds, the
clink of the jay, the tumultuous cawing
of Ihe mating crows and the far-olf
screams of the soaring hawk. lie will
stretch his legs iu a long day's tramp
and will com<s to his resting place at
night honestly tired out, aud with an
appetite sueli he has not had for
mouths.
Or, if Ixis dreams be of Florida, what
more easy than to take a troiu and find
himself in a. day at the long white
beaches where the surf thunders un
ceasingly, where the sun is ever bright
and warm, where the waters are bluer
than t lie sky above them, where light
winged seabirds sail and dip and where
the man may turn back the pages of
20 years and at. once become a IK> V
again, running barelegged over the
mud or wading in the surf to capture
shells or fish, winning at the same time
the rest and the new strength which
menu for him, in the months to come,
better work and more of it than he
could have done without this interval of
transformation from man to bov.
The mountain climber or the big
game hunter bus his attack of lh e
sin ing fever as other men do, but, it does
not send him away, for he knows that
his time is not yet. Hut lie plans, oh,
he plans! lie orders new guns or new
iee axes and new climbing shoes; lie
studies maps, lie corresponds with
guides, tuid, above oil, he talks over
the contemplated trip with his chosen
companion. They discuss elk coun
tries and sheep countries and the best
way to get a bear; or they figure on
unclimbed mountain peaks and talk of
glaciers and crevasses and bergsehrunds
and couloirs and cornices. And it may
be that out of all this talk and plejining
and an t icipation they get more pleasure
than they do at last out of the trip.
There ure many to whom these out
ings are their sole recreation, pleas
ures anticipated for one-lialf the year
and looked back #m for the oilier half,
and the number of such is constantly
increasing. It ought to increase, for
they who really delight in such things
do better work and make more useful
citizens than those who pin themselves
down to the unending round of narrow
business life.
The laving aside for a time of the
dally routine, the mental rest, the de
light of again seeing beautiful things,
long known yet ever fresh, and ot' seeing
Other things wlileli are wholly new
nil these combine to pour into .1 man's
system a new vigor which will enable
him when lie returns to ids work to do
that work with ;ia increased interest,
intelligence and earnestness. From
the point of view of mere dollars and
rents, if is worth every man's while to
take two vacations each year, one in the
spring and one in the fall. Such play
spells pay for themselves in the better
work a man by reason of them can do
through the long months of cold and
heat.-—Forest and Stream,
