Mr. Doolittle, in brief words. spoke of the “ Land Question," as it was met and answer- ed b the great law-givers of the Hebrew, Gree and Roman civilizations. He sho red in what manner they sought to guard their eople against the evils of land monopoly. he laws of Moses provided for the division of lands, first. among the twelve tribes; and, second. the division of the lands of the tribes equally among the families of the tribe. Moses especially provided (except within walled cities‘, that no sale, lease or mortgage of the land could be made to ex tend beyond the year oi jubilee 3â€"which came once in ‘iity years. . ' a I ,,A!,,, vwâ€".v vâ€"-v -_ _-_ During all that time a right of redemption was always reserved to the family. But whether redeemed or not, the jubilee of it- self restored every man to his possessions It proclaimed anew “ liberty throu hout all the land." In the ancient repu lies of Greece and Rome, their law-givers made an equal partition of lands and fixed a limit upon t 0 amount of land which any one cit- izen could hold. as the very basis upon which alone a republic can be maintained. \Vhen all these limits were broken down. and immense domains were held by the rich and cultivated by slaves, the republics per ished. The empire came, one military mas- ter. all the rest slaves. He then passed rapidly to the fuedal sys- tem of the dark ages, which followed the overthrow of the Roman empire by the Ten tonic lords of Germany; and which givos shape to a great extent to the land tenures of Europe down to this day, He then ed to the land question in England, an the land question in Ireland, as the most vita. and aramount of all questions at this time. He t on came to that great question, as one of transcedendant importance in our own country, in the view of all who wemd main. j taig our Republican _ipstitutions. - .. - ,,,,.LA_L This part of his address is too important to attempt a synopsis. It in too brief and too concme for abridgement. It must speak for itself, as folloyva : A deep sense of the dangers of land mon- opoly to our republican institutions, and to the weliare of the country, led, I doubt not, to the request that I should speak on that subject on this occasion, and give my opin- ion as to the wisest, simplest, and most practical solution of the land question for the people of the United States. In a few words my opinion is : 1. In the first place, no revolutionary method is necessary or should be proposed. Whatever is done should conform to the theory of our system, which is, progress ‘under‘law_;â€"peace!ul revolution, by fratn- in wig-law; and miter constituéions. in or or to conform to a more enlightened pub- lio_judgm9nt. ‘ I ,,,,c_A_A!__ -C .... ,.._,, ...... 2. 1n the second place, no confiscation of any property, real or personal, of any person, is necessary at all, or should be proposed. Whatever law is en- acted bearing upon the land question should recognize that among the foundations of hu- man liberty, none are more important than that portion of the Bill of Rights which denies the right of the government to take away any man’s property, even for public use, without just compensation; and this ap. plies to property in land as well as to all werew- . . l , AL,L_ I'" 3. The idea of some, that a law or con~ atitution may declare private property in lmd void, or confiscate its value, by tax- ing that alone, can never find support in reason ; nor, can it ever receive the prac- tical support of a civilized people ; because the strongest natural instinct, and most earnest desire of every man is to assume all the duties of manhood ;â€"to found a family, to have a home for his wife and children ; and to crown all, to have a home- stead of his own, in which to live and rear up that family. It is as natural for man to seek and to have his own home as that a bird should seek and have its own neat. It is only in a free, separate and indepen- dent home that he becomes a full man. There alone is he prophet, priest and king. There alone isevery wife a queen. Andthere alone are the children reared up_to manhood and to womanhood, who are themselves to be the future republic. Among the greatest of the blessings of that promised happy state, when the reifin of universal peace on earth and good wll to men shall come, is that every man shall have his own home- stead ; shall “ sit down under his own vine and flg’tree, with none to molest or make -l--:A ' fluid." 4.

Bub M intimately connected with this enh- ect. after thus fixing a eyebem of land imitation which would prevent the monopo- ly of land by the few and would thereby give to every honest. frugal, and industrious man, who has capacity to gowrn himself. an opportunity to become a lundholaler, and to purchase and pay for a homestead for his family. I would go a step further. In order to favor and induce, and to eomo extent to aid him to do so, I would favor also a for ther amendment to the constitutions of the several states, which besides exempting homestead: from forced sale for debt should also, within certain limits, «x: mph that homestead and necessary furniture from all taxation whatever: and. further. that in assessment of all farms and hommtnads. only their value over and above the amount fixed for homestead exemption from taxation. should be assessed a! all. And, what is equally important. the con-l ntitntion of each state should provide that every householder, and head of a family whol should live with and an port his family ini such separate homeste f r such time as' the legislature shall prescribe, in addition to the one vote, to which he is now entitled at any election. should have an additional- vote to represent his famil ; so that every such permanent househo der occupying a homestead, shall have two votesâ€"one to row present his family and household. This is a most important matter. which I have dis- cussed elsewhere, but cannot now enlarae upon. Nothing, however, can be more cer. tain than that the man who takes upon him- selftha reap nsihility, of founding and rear- ing a family. has a double responsibility, compsred with the single and unmarried } man, and should have‘a double vote. ,I!L!_‘I nun. u-wâ€"-‘ ._,. Should either of the present political: parties. or better still, if both of them should? take hold of these questions, of land limita- tion, homestead exemption from taxes. as well as from forced sale or debt. and home- stead suffrage, there is no doubt. after a fair. discussion. they would command the judg-I ment and support of the great majority of‘ thoughtful Americans. They certainly would prevent all future land monopo y. In the course of one generation. those estates now existing which tend to build up landed aristocracy, would quietly disappear under the operation of natural laws. The house-‘ hold and homestead suffrage would placel the voting power in our Republic where it was in the beginning. and where it should. forever remainâ€"not in the floating vote of ‘ homeless. houseless. unmarried men. crowd-l cd in great cities and towns. but in those‘ men who are the “heads of families” and lwho reside and preside in the millions of happv. free and independent homes all over‘ I this broad land. flflvllv.

In some cases a disposition to worry is the result of disease. and is a symptom of disordered brain and nerves. or the result of some physical dis- ability or I" flex irritation. in other cases it nu.y be the result of an hereditary tendency or of vicious habits formed in early life ; in either case it is certain to produce a diseased state of the body. So we may say with truth that a person who always frets and worries is a diseased person. The Alisnist end Neurologist makes the iollnving excellent remarks upon this sub- ject. which we fully endorse: ' “People {all into the habit of worrying about these little mishaps that of necessity come up in the liie of every one; and the habit once formed is a difficult one to overcome. Worry. above all things. consumes vitality. and disarranges the harmonious working of the functions. It leads to loss of appetite, to sleepless nights, to irritable nerves, to imparied nutrition. It robs the disposition of attractive qualities. it lessens the mental vigor. and it not infrequently is a father in the production of nervous disorder. Sensi- tive people, those who are easily wounded and discouraged. are most apt to worry when eil'airs go wrong, and yet they are just the ones whom worry will harm the most, and who will lose most in life by indulging in it. Trials and reverses may destroy ihr oversensitive or the weak. unless such per- sons prepare for them i» the cultivation of ‘ patience and courage. '1‘ ose, however, who ‘ are not fretted and depressed by the small . mishaps and adversities of life. are the bot- ‘ tor for encountering them. inr they are a part of the necessary and kindly discipline of experience that helps us to build up char- acter. and strengthens it as the storm that bends the vigorous tree strengthens and con solidates its health fiber. ” A medical journal gives the iollomng cure for whooping-cough. which is laid to be most effectual.
