This is a grand opportunity to obtain a firstclass farm journal free. The American Farmer is a large IG-page ill list, rated journal, of national circulation, which ranks among the leading agricultural papers. Its highest purpose is the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture through the higher and broader education of men and women engaged in its pursuits. The regular subscription price of the American Farmf.tl issl.oo per year. IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. From am one number, ideas can be obtained that will be worth thrice the subscription price to you or members of your household, yet you get it fret 1 . Call and see-sample copy;

The township trustees will meet next Monday, to elect a county school superintendent. It is a very important ditty, and one which they should discharge conscientiously and with a view singly to the best interests of the schools of the county. The desire to gratify this or that individual should have no weight in determining their action in this matter. The office of county superintendent is one of the most important in the county, and it is the one office of all others, the value of which depends upon the character, qualifications and conscientiousness of the person who fills it The value to the educational interests of the county of a good superintendent are almost incalculable. On the other hand, a poor superintendent could easily be more harm than good. . The office is peculiar in this respect; its value depending so entirely upon the persou who fills it. The office of clerk, sheriff, auditor or recorder, may be much more satisfactorily discharged ny one man than another, bnt no man of ordinary intelligence and honesty would wholly fail of depriving these offices of their usefulness to the people, while in the case of the superintendent’s office, nothing could be easier than for an inefficient incumbent to do vastly more harm than good. In all parts of the state this peculiar feature of the snprintendent’s function have been recognized, and even in localities where the principle of rotation in office finds its fullest recognition,

! it often happens that the county superintendent js retained in -office term after term; 6, Shir 10 years at a stretch. The relations of the county superintendent to the schools of the county generally, arc much the same as those of a town superintendent to the schools under his care, and to make frequent changes in the incumbency of the position from considerations of “rotation in office’’or of political expediency, would be about as illogical in one case, as the other. Under their present wise, and c onscientious and discreet man agement, the educational affairs of the county have .made excellent progress and maintained their exceptional efficiency, and if the trustees, when they meet next Monday, decide to “let well enough alone” and to continue the same, management for another two years, the great mass of the people will heartily endorse their action. All of which is said without any unkindness of feeling, or intention of desparagement, toward any of the deserving and laudably ambitious young men who are candidates for the position. We simply speak for what we believe to be the best interests of the schools.

The South not in it.

I have no reason to give. I give you facts not reason. * * * You may callus of the South fools. * * But the fact remains, we are Democrats of the South. If yon choose to ride on roughshod with your third party scheme, go ahead. The fact remains there are seventeen States down in Dixie’s land that won’t go with you.—President Livingston of the Georgia Alliance at the Cincinnati Convention.

OUR DISTRICT NOT IN IT.

Delphi Journal. The tenth congressional district will not be represented in the next congress. True, Dr. Patton will probably occupy a seat on the floor of the lower branch, and will draw his pay with astonishing regularity, but lie will have no more influence in the legislation enacted by the body of which he is a member than the bumps that sit on logs in the swamps of Newton county. The doctor is a good fellow and doubtless knows how to prescribe for a patient afflicted with the chills and fever, but when it comes to feeling the pulse of the Republic and prescribing what is necessary, lie will be “at sea”—-Out of sight of land without rudder or compass. The Journal would think that it would be embarassiug for Dr. Patton to go to Washington and be pointed out as the successor of Hon. W. D. Owen. For Mr. Owen was known as one of the brightest and most valuable members of the late congress. The immigration bill Mr. oW£tfg"BgmirTlsg~ • given him a national reputation, and the people at W aldington will look Dr. Patton over and wonder why it was he defeated such a man as Owen. And as lie sits still, month after month, and makes a record of smooth, unruffled nothingness, with not even a “motion to adjourn” to break its tedious continuity, some of the people down iu Washington who knew of Mr. Owen’s force and ability will hint that people of a free and representative government sometimes make monkeys of themselves. It will certainly be embarrassing to Dr. Patton, and the Journal will venture the opinion that he will wish more than once that he had never abandoned the practice of medicine far the sake of ‘becoming a mere political figure head. ~ ~

THE THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.

The conglomeration assembled at Cincinnati to dicuss a third qiarty movement has very naturally to agree.- When men meet to dicuss legislation which will put money into their pockets without the formality of mental or physical labor it is not surprising that, there are diverse views. No two men have ever yet agreed on the proper method of accomplishihg the impossible. It is with a woeful misapprehension of the objects and purposes of legislation that the convention has met. Legislation creates conditions not wealth.- It is general not class, and it is stronger the less it is felt. Should the sub-tteasury scheme for instance succeed it would bankrupt the nation and bring financial ruin. It would injure the men who propose it most, and least the capitalist who could in part avoid the ruip. By its provisions the fanners could sell their wheat and yet retain control of it until clamorous demands of millions of starv-

ed forced a final relinquishment of control at a blackmail price. The first payments would at that time be redeemed by the government and an inflation hi three or four hundred millions in the Fall would be followed by a similar contraction in the Spring. Eve ry other avenue of trade would be paralyzed by it and starvation and want Would follow this plan of attemptiug to enrich the farmers by government aid. And the farmers and the debtor class as is usual in all financial disaster would be in the end the greatest sufferers. If the farm doesn’t pay, quit it Many a man has taken up anew at forty the task of carving out a-for-tune. The introduction of new inventions have paralyzed hundreds of industries but the manufacturers of the old time spinning wheels are not holding conventions to obtain legislation to aid them. If there is too much grain raising, too much supply, the remedy is plain and it is not the sub-treasury Let the farmers act with cbmmon sense, avoid the gorgeous flying machines of the Simpsons and they will prosper. Imagination will make a large wheat crop that will grind into mighty little flour/ Muscle and thought and not imagination makes farming (profitable. —Logansport Journal.

THE SONG OF THE “No. 9.”

My dress is of fine polished oak. As rich as the finest for cloak, p <>4ad for handsome design You Just should see mine— 'ts No.9,N<j.U • I'm beloved by the poor and the rioh, For both I impartially stitch; In the cabin I shine, In the mansion I'm fine— N 0.9, No.*. * I never get surly nor tired. With zeal I always am fired; To hard work I incline. For rest I ne’er pine— No. 9, No. 9. I am easily purchased by all, With instalments that monthly do fall; And when 1 am thine, Then life is benign— . - No. 9, No. 9. To the Paris Exposition I went. Upon getting the Grand Prize intent; I left all behind, The Grand Prize was mine— No. 9, No. 9.

At the Universal Exposition of 1889, at Paris France, the best sewing machines of the world; including those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed oi the best foreign mechanical experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler A Wilson machines were the best of all, and awarded that company the highest prize offered—the GRAND PRlZE—giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French government, as a further recognition of superiority, decorated Mr: Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the company, with the Cross of tne Legion of Honor—the most prized honor of France. The No. 9, for family use, and the No, 12, for manufacturing uses, are the best in the world to-day. Ana now, when you want a sewing machine, If you do not get the best it will be your own fault. Ask your sewing machine dealer for the No. 0 Wheeler & Wilson machine. If lie doesn't keep them, write to us for descriptive catalogue and terms. Agents wanted in all unoccupied teiiitory.
