YOUNG REFORMERS' CLUB.
And now that the presidential election is over, and we
Know wiio is to be at the head of the nation lor the next
four years, we shall soon settle queilly down, those of us
w'lio are pleased in great satisfaction, those who are dis
pleased in some discontent, but all disposed to turn our at
tention to the next thing. We Americans are a wonderful
people for taking things easy, and for thinking that the
best way is the wiy we have bem doing and are doing
now. It i9 ritjlif to want the best thing always. We wanted
the best president. It is right to work for the best thing
so long as there is the least chance of getting it, and all
the old and the Young Reformers did the best. But it is
footifh to waste even one moment or one bit of strength in
bewailing. If we cannot have the best, then let us take
what we can get and be thankful for that, and make tL
best ot that.
And, my dear Young Reformers, let me tell you that
about three-quarters of our lives is spent in making the
best of tilings; taking the thing we would not have
chosen, and make it serve as well or better than the chosen
thing. The ait of living lies in finding out bow this can
bo done. In four years more, my young friends, you who
are in the colleges, in the niaiiufiu lories, on the furms, at
your books, or at your handicraft, or at the plow you
who are at the waking, thinking, purposeful age-in four
years more you will be enrolled anmng the voters of the
land. Think hnv many thousand of you there are; and
think how, behind you, their heads reaching to your
shoulders now, are pressing the boys of from thirteen to
seventeen, the voters at the presidential election of 1892.
You, Irom seventeen to twenj-one, who could not cast
your vote in 18t4, are going to do it in 1888. You have
thought about it already, and your views and opinions
are already beijg formed as to the sort of government we
we need and the principles you will uphold. Th army
of younger brothers behind j-ou will be sure to follow
your lead. It's the "big fellow" tnat holds the admira
tion and allegiance ot the "little fellow," and often does
wore toward forming his character than either teachers or
parents or books. If, out of the failure to secure the tri
umph of the very best piinciples in 1884, there grows
more careful study of political situations and actual con
ditions, more accurate knowledge, more profound con
victions, more deteimiued pntrintibm on the part of the
young voters of 1888, w e shall have reason to rejoice even
at what looks like defeat. The day of action lor the
Young Reformers is to come. The country is yours,
T)oys,and that in a very little while. Wbat are you going
to do with itT By what principles are 3 ou going to have
it governed ? "What sort ol rulers are you going to place
in power? The next four years are given you in which,
to decide. American Reformer.
