Mr. Rennewanz has greatly encouraged the boys in the way of a handsome prize, and also as to an educational feature. Farming is not degrading, as some people look upon it, but should be taught to the young students as elevating by understanding the educational side as well as from a business standpoint to gain a livelihood. We recognize Gov. Hanley as a man who wishes to gain a world wide fame on pretending to reform. If hets a reformer Democrats as well as the Republicans should stand by him, but as he has shown himself a full-fledged hypocrite, let him break the colored glass out of bis own window, see things as they are, then talk about reformation. Certainly the state under Republican control needs in most cases reforming, but why not place it under Democratic control this coming Nov. and then see. It is true that most of the good educational laws,and laws passed for the laboring men and for the general good was by a democratic legislature. "Then let us be up and doing."
