Ksercher as manager. Following are some verses taken from the Plankinton Mail, the paper publish ed at the stale reform school by the pupils ot the institu'ion. The verses may not be perfection from a literary standpoint, but they indicate, what is of far more importance, that the young writer has been surrounded with whole some influences and bas made remark able progress not only in his books but aleo in moral growth. It is ahout two years since William Brand was sent with l»is younger brother from Big Stone to the reform school, and from all reports of their conduct and the progress thev ate making their stay at the school will prove a blessing to them, a fact which they appear already to understand: •IIS STOITY, BY WILLIAM BRA3I). It was two years ago lust winter, When we left orr home in disgrace With a sheriff nittin^ beside iifC And a hunt, stern Iuok on his face, "I've a warruut for your arrest, boys:" lie had said when he opened the door, *'So please hurry up and get readv boys, For I am leaving this city at four." My mother turned unle as she listened, And father sprang up with a cry Aud looking from us to the sherifl. He at last turned away with a sigh. Their kind loving hearts had been saddened Aud their efforts too right us were vamj We persisted in serving the devil, Aud so they had nothing out pain. Ko he hustled us into a carriage, Aud ordered the coachman ahead To the couuty jail we were goinjr, For so the sheriff had emu. We never asked any questions, For we knew what the officer m&ant, Wo had violated the laws, sir, Aud that's why to jail we were sent. We were ou the road some two hours, When looking ahead I could see The tall dark building a looming, Like a phantom cl ft by the sea. A terrible fright took possession Of me, as 1 gazed on its walls, And felt like a sinuer beholding His own solemn funen.l palls. My first thought whs of escaping, And courage returned »t the thought ]ut mv hopes dashed to the ground, sir— For I knew I could easily bo caught. With a v« ry bad grace I submitted To be led through the massive door: And a chilling sweat crept o'er ine, As 1 noticed the solid stone floor. "llere we are," said the sheriff. In a voice that raug loud aud long 1 lirongli the low re-echoing corridiw, Like the dirge of a funeral tl ng. 4 shuddered aud turned to mv tirotber. Who with pale but defiant iook Took in thi general surroundiuss Hut I njtlsed his frame slightly shook. ••Juil-Dirds!" he exclaimed in a fury As soon «s the sheriff hud gone, Ji'or Ins temper was none of the smoothest Especially when things had gone wrong. 1 quieted his much ruffled temper *nd advised his singing a song, |)ut he said he never would do it, For 'twould sound like a lamenting gong. We had been three days in our prison With outside news rather rare, 'fill hi last a visit from father Made our trouble still harder to beir. Jjis face looked more careworn and weary li in form was more lagging and bent: •&ii.l the sad truth pricked at my coueciuuce And seemingly ne'er to relent. Tlnit day we witnessed our trial l'he trial of course was quite brief. Aid wh.'n the jury had spoken We each hud beeu proven a thief. We wire guilty of course, »ud we plead It, For we Knew every word was .just so And when the judge read our sentence. To the reform school we louud we must go. So when the trial was over And thecrowd in he emi rt-room dispersed, We sai alone with our lather And all our troubles rehearsed. 'Well rlwldreu," he said in a low sad voice, "I an sorry this trouble occurred, But (»id is great and merciful And iny prayers will surely be heard." And so in shame and in sorrow We bid our old father adieu, 4'id promised in humble repetitaiwe I lie old life ne'er to renew. The sheriff theu made his apneBvanco To the Mulion we took our sad way, and boarding a train to the westward We reached the reform school that day. APd here we've been nil the time, sir, Nor did ever regiet 'JMhe day when at this reform school Mv finful loot I did set. My i iroiher is staying liere also And doing his very best: To right our former wrongs, sir, Js our only earnest request. O.rionville Headlight Burkhart, of iHitunrik, is moving th:» quarry boarding fejuew ujg to Four Bright Journalists Fore cast the Future. GATH PLEADS FOR FEDERALISM. Nym Crinkle Estimates the Probable Prog ress of Literature and the Drama—Den ver Will He as Ilig as New York—flews of John Swinton and Kate Field on Vari ous Subjects. lCopyright, 189ES, by American Press Associa tion.] The federalist founders of the republic of the United States, Jay, Hamilton and Washington, as interpreted by Marshall, Kent, Quincy Adams, Seward and Lincoln, are felt in our day through the decrepit or chaotic provincial states as the spinal life and brain of our system. These opponents pass more and more to the rear as demagogues and confidenco men as the superiority of our federal institu tions and spirit ure seen by the rising gen erations. In proportion as the subsidiary states share this federal or national instinct do they rise to the success of the nation. 1 apprehend that it will take another con vulsion, and that probably not an extensive one—perhaps a foreign war—to permanent ly settle the supremacy of the nation in ev ery uncriniinal mind. The weakness of the federal government now is due to the states who contribute to it their representative caitiffs as senators, justices and even presidents. The last message of the governor of South Carolina, the most wayward of all our early provinces, shows the failure of an obstrep erous state sovereignty in the refusal of the people, though they disobey the federal laws of suffrage, to pay their taxes, main lain their public schools, uphold their one University—the first one where free trade, rebellion and secession were taught—or fulidue their factional and social animosi ties. Good citizens of such a state must in evitably turn toward the cordial and help ful federalism .it Washington, and so, I think, when we have a less mercenary newspaper press and can for less incomo tell more truth, the poorer and raggeder states will come in like the prodigal son and say, "Father, 1 have sinned against heaven and in thy sight make me one of thy hired servants." The necessities of dull states, the good sense of great states, al 1 bear toward rais ing and respecting the one federal father hood which taxes while wu sleep, so that we do not feel the rib taken from our body, Mid applies that subtraction to delightful taste and intercourse. Out of the one public estate have come all these railways, school sections, new and great cities, irrigating works, mines, etc. Where the federal works are expensive the state politicians make them so. Who would not rather trust the United States engineers than a state legislature, either for wisdom or virtue!' The faith heretofore lacking in the su preme legislature through local and press demagogy will, when restored, make honor at Washington the public standard. Liberty has descended to us through tim orous and excitable men like Jefferson, as a stockade surrounded by Indians. Liberty ought to be not the suspicion of mutual egotists, but the beautiful respect and bar inony between man aud his family. The unequal civilization of the parts of our country, the assembling as tribes in stead of fellow countrymen, the law of life and property in one part, the law of spasm and force in another part, the long results of slavery and nonpayment of taxes, must and will yield. Excessive wealth ought to be taxed in its full proportion, not more., for remove the stimulus of wealth and at present America is uothing. The church has become nouentity, except as a dead pull back on bold and noblfc thinking. Literature, until the other dav, had no care from the lawmaking power. Science is doing well, but is taking fat tolls from its generation. Would not a better interpretation of government than ours tiave bought the telephone at the outset for a million dollars instead of taxing every customer in two generations fifty dollars a year? Europe is influencing us greatly, and that will last long and probably for our good. What could we learn from North Carolina or Indiana that would -Iks better than European intercourse? We must nourish our peasantry, includ ing the 8,000,000 of our blacks, for an empire without servants might almost be without horr.es or utensils. What hare these wretched states done to discipline the poor in the mechanic and household arts? The farmers are without public spirit or they would have better roads and con veniences. From the cities and the villa seats are to come the immediate helps to progress. Individual life needs more liberty thau dogma and fashion will accord. He who confiscates my Sunday to serve his super stition tyrannizes over one-seventh of my life. When w« become free indeed it will not cost us so much to live, for fashion and church thrive upon our acquiescent slavery. 1 be borne, too, should be free, the civil and opt th? clerical should do all jhe St. Lawrence School.

I marrying these broken homes are often the result of the mercenary and secret priest marrying the dissolute, the half grown and the runaway to each other. Temperance and legislation have little to do with each other. Liquors ought to bo inspected and adulterating brewers to wear stripes. Woman's great triumph, and man's, too, will be not to need the ballot often she ballots alone and uuiniluenced for a man. Perhaps the old maids might be given the Australian ballot to widen the understand ing of it. Private societies usurping the law's func tions in the name of morals are Spanish in quisitions and too often directed by men of hideously perverted animalitr. The United Suites—not tne Texas con trived interstate commission—ought to be a strong power in our railways and to own ihe telegraphs. The world is interested in our becomiug not a Christian so much as a humane aud scientific empire, with one hand secured upon the people's will and the other free to labor for their lasting welfare. I hope the most honored American in 1893 will be George Washington. G&OliGK ALFRED TOWXSEXD. Kate Field's Forecast. What American now living will be most honored in 1 Grover Cleveland, if he fulfills the expec tation of his best friends. Never were the problems confronting this republic so great and so many as those which the next presi dent of the United States must meet and answer. Ou these answers depends our sal vation for many a year to come hence thf necessity of a great and enlightened patriot in tho White House, and hence such a very diet JIS I predict should Grover Cleveland prove himself to be the George Washington aud Abraham Lincoln of this generation. Where will be our greatest city? In all probability Chicago. There will be wonderful cities in the west, none inor# beautiful and extensive than Salt Lak# City but unless all signs fail Chicago will take precedence. Will the race be happier, healthier and handsomer than now? All depends ou our women. 1 they marry for lovo aud not for convenience if they cultivate the inside of their h&ids as sedu lously as they now study fashion if they "go in" for sound bodies such as nature in tended tho mothers of the human race to possess if they teach their children self re spect and respect for authority, Americans of 1993 will regard their ancestors of 189.3 as little less than vulgar, ignorant heathens. What is the future of the servant prob lem? Again, all depends on women. When they know their owu business and learn the meaning of Christianity there will be no servant problem. In dress? Once more the question must be settled by women. Should American women do their own thinking in the next hundred years they will not import their fashions, and they will wear nothing that interferes with a magnificent physical development. Trains will be reserved for the house cor sets and high heels will be sent to Coventry the waist line will be just l»elow the bosom, and Atalanta will live again. Is the conditiou of the laboring class likely to become more or less dependent? There has been a steady improvement in the condition of what is falsely called tho "laboring class," as though no one worked except the manual laborer. I only hope that the brain worker will be as well paid in 1993 as will be the manual laborer, who is fast controlling the fates of this republic and reducing human capacity to a dead level of mediocrity. All men should be born free, but all men are not born equal, trades unions to the contrary. There always have been, as there always will be, leaders. In temperance legislation? So called temperance legislation is a tem porary aberration of well meauing but nar row minded men aud women with whom sentimentality supplants reason, aud who actually think morals are an affair of legis lation. One hundred years hence personal liberty will be more than a phrase. When it is a fact sumptuary laws will Ixj as im pos«ibl* ua witch burning is now.
