In every community are two classes, constructionists and destruction ists. One builds: the other destroys. One is the element of progress ; the other of stagnation. The predominance of one or the other determines the character and fixes the destiny of the community. The destroyers have much the lightest job. Building is difficult; pulling down easy. The temple of Diana was years in building; a fool destroyed it in a night. A cow kicked over a lamp and destroyed Chicago. Every educational institution, every public improvement it contains is a monument to the signal triumph of public spirit, and the result of some fierce struggle between enterprise and obstruction. WE CANNOT LIVE UPON ANCESTRAL CONDITIONS. But neither this community nor any other can live upon ancestral traditions. It cannot exist forever up/\r% f V?/l A f lfo frt f A??.l AH f V?n fl'll I fo VIII I, Ll IT glUIJ Ul Jin lUtUClSf wj IIIC A1 141 lo of their labor. If must (Jo something itself. Poverty is a spur to exertion. Our fathere were not blessed with the prosperity of these days, and >they built for the future. It is in one sense a misfortune that this community has inherited the results of their efforts, and too many have become lethargic and indiffeient on account of it. Formerly wheu an enterprise was inaugurated all usually joined with enthusiam and unity to push it forward. Now a moment in the public interest is often bitterly fought. Selfish interests, personal jealousies and business rivalries thrust themselves into it, and it i^ well night impossible to carry it to suceess. The public must be sacrificed if thereby to some one inures private benefit, and as it is impossible to have any public enterprise that does not benfit some individual, the public must suffer at the behest of private prejudice and spite. Shall this spirit be permitted to prevail^? GETTING INTO OFFICE BY ATTACKING EXISTING CONDITIONS. There is no denying that with many pulling down is popular. Men get into office by attacking existing conditions, appealing to popular prejudice, and po?ing as advocates of economy. It is ofter easier to get office by this kind of demagocruery than by advocating progress. The man who will obtain office by such methods is dangerous. His affected interest in the people is wholly spurious. He will pull them down and sell them out as quickly as he will anything else. His business is to destroy and he hurts eveything to touches. It i? a great pity that the people so often allow them-elves to be thus hoodwinked. We live in an age of progress, and whor soever stand* in its path is an enemy to the race. Follow him and we would return to the days of barbarism. In this age of churches and schools and public improvements we are demonstrating the wisdom and fnlfllling the command of holy writ, to live for our neighbors, and he who does not so is at war with God and man, an anachronism, a misfit, a fraud, aDd merits, as he generally receives, universal contempt. NECESSITY FOR FIRST CLASS FUNERALS. People in too many communities waste their time making faces. They will wreck their own interests to injure some one else. They permit every and jealousy to blind their judgments and dominate their actions. To build up a town people must pull together, not pull down. In private business they may compete. In the public business they must co-operate. Any other policy is silly and suicidal, and is the evidence of a small mind. New /lArv.mnnSMaa atan/) fnrratKor Kn f tar uviuuiuiiibiuo oiauu thau old ones, in which are animosities of long standing, social and professional rivalries, and deep seated grudges. Hence the older residents very frequently become bigoted and stubborn and mean, and first class funerals become public blessings. A man who has grown imperious and prosperous off a community until he cares nothing for it, and stands in the way of its progress can serve it in no other way so well as by getting out of it. ARRAYING THE VOOR AGAINST THE RICH. One of the favorite methods of pulling down is that of appealing to the prejudice of the poor against those who have properity. The demagogue is a great iconoclast. He can do more in a day towards destroying than half of a community can do in a month toward building. Unfortunately many are susceptible to these appeals when artfully made. There i*. no more dangerous member of the community tban he who would thus array those against each other, whose interests are identical. It is only in a community where business men are prosperous that labor can get employment, that money is plentiful, and wages satisfactory. Suppose we had a half dozen manufactories giving employment to hundreds, perhaps thousands of our people. Would that be to the injury of the very many, male and female, who are now idle among us, anxious for employment? Are the proprietors of such establisnments public enemies ? There are those who attack our schools, and would arouse prejudice against them because they employ cultivated men at what are declared to be exorbitant salaries. He wbo would excite prejudice against our schools is a public enemy. A COMMUNITY THAT IS OWNED BY ANY SET OF MEN, SURRENDERS ITS MANHOOD. One of the greatest obstacles to every public enterprise is that it is no sooner inaugurated, than it finds itself at once involved in certain business rivalries and as a result it is probably mashed to pieces. If it is in some way to the benefit of one of these interests tue otuer iigms it, aun trie vast iuukh of the people who do not carp a fig for either of thera are left to suffer. The public should declare itseif independent of these selfish interests, which thus defeat enterprises for its benefit, and should act independently and in spite of them. Whenever a community allows itself to be owned or controlled by any man or set of men it surrenders its manhood, and is not worthy to exist. Until we eliminate private selfishness from our public movements it is impossible to hope for their success. And it is equally wrong to impute to every man who labors iu the public interest selfish purpose. There are plenty of men iu every com cuuuity who will contribute their means time and labor for the public benefit without any selfish purpose in view, and there are others who will go about impugning the motives aud counteracting the efforts of those who would from the best of purposes serve the public. Should we not rather encourage the public spirited, give him bene fit of sincere and honorable intention,! instead of decrying and defaming him ? 1 THE FUTURE DEPENDS UPON THE SUCCESS OF THE BUILDERS. What would this country be to-day 1 but for its public spirited men? It is J exceedingly fortuuate in that its pubtls% Iaa/Iopq in fho nnot tL'ora hllildpffl J1U icaucio 1U uuv puwi " and not destroyers. What would it have been if those who fought them i had succeeded? The future of this ' town and county depends upon the ability of the builders to overcome the , destroyers. Can we do it? Or shall i we surrender to selfishness and j demagoguery and obstruction ? The only way to treat people who stand in the way of progress is to run over them, and this is not hard to do. The man who fipbts enterprise is never formidable. Selfishness and littleness are easily vanquished.- There is too much at stake to let them stand in the way. Those who have business interests, who are concerned in .the prosperity and happiness of the community, cannot afford it. Run over them. PUBLIC OFFICERS MAY MAKE MISTAKES, BUT WE SHOULD BE MERCIFUL. Nor is it the part of the public spirited citizen to be perpetually oooallinn ..flflninlq ajhrv ?rc? honPAt nocouiug ^/uvuv v*uw??.w ? ?? ly endeavoring to do tbeir duty in the way of pnblic improvements. Doubtless they make mistakes, but as a rule they do the best they can, which is about as well as tbe average man would do in their place. Blunders have occurred but the town is in better condition than if it had no streets; it has reason to be, and is proud of its .. spleudid streets, superior to? those of any other town. Why not Btop this decrying of every public movement? THE WORK WHICH DESTROYERS MAY DO. Builders and destroyers are not conflued to matters material. They are r in other spheres. Education is construction ; ignorance is destruction. Morality is Duilding up; immorality 1 is pullinsr down. Honesty, liberality, J charity are upon the side of help and benefit, dishonesty, crime, avarice, G meanness are in the work of injury. ? Every man is either upon one side or u the other. He is either building or 11 destroying. He cannot occupy an b equivocal or negative position. If he P is not for the pnblic good he is against it, for it requires ufflrmatlveness and aggression to build. Sittiug still and doing nothing is letting the world go . to ruin. Allowicig a bouse to burn i- 0 as much arson as applying the torch, s: The man who is indifferent to the public interest, who wraps himself in T a cloak of selfishness, is doing as much harm as he who make* direct war upon progress. There are very many in this Cass. But no man has a right to sit still and receive the benefit of society without contributing to its advancement. It is as much his duty to help society as to help his family or himself. Nor can any man long prosper who thus withholds his just and rightful duty from the public. The people F soon leave him, and they will neither patronize nor respect him. Much as the progressive and public spirited man may be criticized and misunderstood, the people honor |hiiii, and no work that he does for himself will 81 bring as much to him as that which he does for others. WHEN A MAN IS BIGGER AND HAPPIER. Then there is a higher view than all in this helping to build, this living for others. It makes a man bigger and happier. He #ill grow thereby men- I tally, morally, and financially. The process of selfishness is shriveling; that of unselfishness broadening. A man must have a limited soul who cares nothing for the esteem and honor of his fellowmen. That life is very* empty which lives only to itself. Who in the community in which we live are those whose names are preserved and whose memories are cherished? I? it not those who did something for the public, who made oome contribution to the welfare of mankind? Who among those now living <*ill be remembered with gratitude and honor? Will it be those who permit their selfishness to dominate all they do, who are full of envy and jealousy, who oppose every public mterprise, who are famed for tbeir uncharitableness and bitterness, wbo are always hurting and never helping, or will it be those, who however, humble and feeble they may be, are doing what they can for the material, intellectual or moral advancement of the world in which they live? BEFORE WE 00 TO THE SILENT CITY a WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR J THOSE WE LEAVE BEHIND. It will be but a short time before the ? silent pity on the hill will contain all 1 who occupy the busy and bustling one in which we reside. Nearly all qf those who secured those public advantage which are such a source of pride ^ anu benefit to us are there now. * Would it not be better before we are laid there that we spend our time in aiding instead of opposing those movements, which are for the common good, in covering with the mantle of charity the short comings of fellowmen, in writting our names upon the records of progress, iu laboring J for the promotion of the material, the social and moral welfare of our generation? The best possible heritage we can leave to those who will follow us will be our records of sacrifice for others. Instead of nursing envy and bitterness, instead of obstructing and . destroying, instead of living selfishly, let us strive to help each other, to ele- I' ?_j.
