USELESS CITIZENS.
The Right Hon. Jatuea Bryoe, author of "The American Commonwealth/' has an excellent article in the current number of the Forum on
uThe
Teaching of
of Civic Duty." Among other things he pays: iDdilTcrenc* to public atfalrs shows luelf not merely la a neglect to study thein and fit one's se\t to give a judicious vote, but in the apathy which does not cure to give a vote wheu the time arrives. It is a serious evil already In some countries, serious in Ix^ndon, serious in Italy, serious enough In the Uuifcod States, not indeed at Presidential, but at city and other local elections, for some reformer to have proposed to punish with & fine the citizen who nrglects to vote, asm some old Greek city thelaw, proclaimed penalties against the citizen who in a sedition stood aloft, taking neither one side nor the other. For, unhappily, it la the respectable, well meaning, easy going citizen, as well as the merely ignorant citizen, who Is apt to be listless. Those who have their private ends to serve, their axes to grind and logs to roll, are not Indolent. Private interest spurs them on and if the so-called "good eiti* Ton," who has uo desire or aim except that good government which benefits him no more than any oue else, does not bestir himself, the public funds may become the plunder, and the public Interests the sport of unscrupulous adventurers.
AFTER all that was said by Bishop Merrill and other leaders of the Methodist chnrch about withdrawing the exhibits and boycotting the World's Fair, the sober second thought guided them to a more sensible conclusion. At the general conference held at Omaha last year a committee was appointed to which waa referred the action of the church in the event of Sunday opening of the Exposition. At a recent meeting of this committee in Chicago it was decided not to withdraw the Methodist exhibit, as had been strongly urged, but to keep itcovered on every open Sunday. Along report was submitted and adopted. The report severely censures the Directory, which is altogether proper, and enters its protest against opening the gates on Sunday, but declared against a boycott. It says:
We shall do nothing In tbe spirit of resentment. We arc Christiana, and while we own to serious disappointments, we have no sympathy with what is kuown as the "boycott." We do not dletatc to our people what they shall do or shall not do with reference to the Fair. Whether they shall patronize It by attendance on week days or whether they shall absent themselves from It entirely is for themselves to decide.
The above shows that the committee has a good deal more practical sense and more of the true Christian spirit than was at first exhibited, and which was taken up by the pulpits all over the country advising a boycott. 8uch advice was listened to by the pews in a spirit of resentment.
DEMOCHATIC and mugwump journals, to be consistent, should renew th6 chorus of holy horror in which they joined four years ago at the appointment of newspaper writers) to positions in the government service. When President,Harrison recognized the intellectual capacity of certain Republican editors to fill tbe various positions the Democratic editors loudly lamented what they'called "subsidizing the press." Since Oleveland has been President he has appointed no less than seventy-five Democratic editors. Is a Democraric editor lees susceptible to being "subsidized" than Republican editor? We trow not.
FUEE coinage would be a decidedly agreeable arrangement for the silver miners at the present time. They could take their holdings of silver to the mint and for every ounce, which brings 73c. in the market, they could compel the mint to give them $1.29. Or, Btated differently, for every 56 Ja worth at market prices they could extort $1 at the mint.
A ONE LEGOED Confederate in the land oflice at Washington by the powers con ferred upon him dismissed in one day sixty clerks, and among them two one. legged Union veterans. He said there were "any nur„ber of one-legged Confederates without pensions ready to take their places."
THERE are two separate exhibits of American tin plate being manufactured at the World's Fair, and yet less than a year ago Democrats were traveling all over the country saying that no tin plate was manufactured in the United States.
GENERAL LEW WALLACE'S novel,'"The Prince of India," is nearly ready for publication. The catastrophe of the book is the assault and sack of Constan tinople in 1452, and the entry of Mohammed II. into Sancta Sophia.
PAVING the streets of Crawfordsville with brick has gone into innocuous dee uetude, the resolution being killed last night by a vote of four to one. Finan cial depression was given as the reason for its indefinite postponement.

STATE BOUNDARIES.
How Alterations Have Been Made All Over the Country.
The Changing of til, Llui Hu Raanlted In the LOM of Large Tract, off iJind In Many of tbe Ka.tern State*.
Connecticut's discovery that she is some square miles larger than she supposed is not remarkable, since something of the kind has happened to perhaps every state and territory in the union, says the New York Sun. Any man who bets c.n state areas by the figures of thirty years aijo will lose. The fathers of today who happen to have good memories find themselves puzzled when they hear their children reading areas out of the current school textbooks. Anyone who will take the troublo to compare the areas given in the census reports of 1SC0 and those in the reports previous to ISSO will find surprising differences. The census superintendents don't trouble themselves to ascertain areas. They accept what they obtain from official sources. The general land oflice is one source of information, and doubtless official state surveys are accepted. In ISSO the superintendent of the census used a revised set of areas and Superintendent Porter accepted the figures of that decade or followed the same authorities. The superintendents of the census adopt an arbitrary rule of regarding all regions having less than two inhabitants to the square mile as "unsettled." In most of the Now England and middle Atlantic states there are no such unsettled areas. Superintendent Porter found about 4,000 square miles of the Maine woods and 1,000 square miles of the Adirondacks region unsettled. The other unsettled areas of the northeast are hardly worth considering.
The discrepancies between the settled areas reported in the census of 1870 and those reported in 1S90 are rather startling. New Hampshire lost in those twenty years more than 450 square miles. Massachusetts gained in the same time nearly 260 square miles. Vermont lost nearly 1,100 square miles and Rhode Island more than 200. Connecticut gained 95 square miles. New Jersey lost more than 350 squara miles and Maryland lost more than 1,200 square miles. Even poor little Delaware lost 1G0 square miles and in the census of 1900 she will show a still different area as the result of her recent dickering with Pennsylvania. As to the newer states, which might reasonably be expected to show changes In settled area from one decade to another, the figures given in the census reports of 1870 and in those of 1890 vary in even greater degree. Nearly all the larger states, whether old or new, show considerable losses in area since 1870. New
York lost nearly 500 square miles Pennsylvania rather more than 1,000 Virginia nearly 2,000, and North Carolina over 2,100. Florida gained nearly 1,000 sqnare miles, probably the result of an extension of the settled area. Ohio's gain of nearly 1,000 is hardly traceable to the same source, though gains of S00 square miles in Illinois and 130 In Iowa are probably assignable to this cause.
THE RAILROAD IN PALESTINE.
Modern Civilization's Advances Into the Lands of the Hlble. The present is a kind of "Columhus year" for Palestine, and in commemoration of the opening of the railroad in the holy land an extra flag might be displaj'ed at the great Chicago exposition, writes Selah Merrill, United States consul, in Scrlbner.
During tho month of August, 1S92, tens of thousands of people for the first time in their lives saw a railroad and a train of cars. They had arevelation, and in the great city as well as in the dirtiest village of the land wonder was at its height. Tho excitement can hardly be realized by the Inhabitants of other countries, to whom railroads, perfected by the highest engineering Bkill and -with lavish expense, are objects as familiar and common as a daily newspaper. We forget that not very long ago, in our own country, we had only bridle-paths and scarcely a yearly post, while railways and. steamboats had not even been dreamed of. Let all the world rejoice
if
this medieval coun
try is experiencing a sensation which it can hardly comprehend. The significance of this event is not that fifty-three miles of railway have been built, or that the capital and the seaport have been united by iron rails it's that this has been done in Turkey, which has always, by all the prejudice and force of its religion, by all tho arts of its diplomacy, and by every other means at its command, done all in its power to keep out western civilization. It is, therefore, a well aimed spear thrust in the side of this old despotic, backward-looking government, and may foretoken for it cither the dawn of health or the shadows of Inevitable death.
Too Mean to Uo Saved.
A big bear chased Peter Ilanes, a man of sixty years, through the woods in Clarke county, Washington, the other day and was close at liis coat UiiLs when he ran into the clearing of a neighbor named McCoy As both neared the house the door opened and Mrs. McCoy appeared with a rifle in her hands, promptly let drive at the bear and bowled hiin over dead. Then the ungrateful Peter claimed tho hide, as tho finder of the bear, and insisted on his demand until as a compromise it was agreed that he and his rescuer divide the proceeds of its salo.
Bogus Bermudas.
As many famous vineyards of Europe are incapable of producing in any one year the amount of wine bearing their lable sold annually in tho United States, so the Bermudas grow only a small percentage of the "Bermuda potatoes" sold in this country. It often happens. Indeed, that the so-called Bermuda potatoes are small and poor potatoes of native growth, which have been treated with acids in order that 'hey may look like the imported tubers.
'•Your Money or Tour lAfc." Such a demand, at the mouth ot a "sixshooter," sets a man thinking pretty lively! With a little more hinting, there would be less suffering.
Think of the terriblo results of neglected consumption! which might easily be averted by the timely use of Nature's Great S|ecific, Dr. Picrco's Golden Medical Discovery.
Consumption, which is lung scrofula, is a constitutional disease, and requires Just such a thorough and effectual constitutional remedy I Taken in time, before the lung tissues are wasted, it is guaranteed a radical cure! Equally certain in all scrofulous affections and blood disorders, Larg Lotties, one dollar, of any druggist.

Dut of earth's elements, mingled with flame, Out of life's compounds of glory and shame, fashioned and shaped by uo will of their own A.nd helplessly into life's history thrown Born by the law that compels man to be. Born to conditions they could not foresee— John and Peter and Robert and Paul— 3od In his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and heart of his state. Was trusted and honored, was noble and great. Peter was made 'neatli lifo-'s burden to groan And never onco dreamed that his soul was his own. Robert great glory and honor received For zealously preaching what no one believed. While Paul of tho pleasures of sin took liis fill And gave np his life In the service of ill.
It chanced that those men. In their passing away From earth and its conflicts, all died tho same day. John was monrned through the length and the breadth of tho land Peter fell "neath tho lash in a merciless hand Robert died with the praise of the Lord on his tongue, While Paul was convicted of murder and hung, lohn and Peter and Robert and Paul— The purpose of life was fulfilled in them all.
Men said of the statesman, "How noble and brave!" But of Peter, alas. "He Is only a slave!" dt Robert, *Tis well with his soul It is well!" While Paul they consigned to the torments of hell. Born by ono law, through all nature the same. What made them different, and who was to blame? fobn and Peter and Robert and Paul— 3od In his wisdom created them all.
Dnt In that region of Infinite light. Where the soul of the black man la pure as tho white Dut where the spirit, through sorrow made wise, N'o longer resorts to deception and lies Dut where the flesh can no longer control fho freedom and faith of the God given soul, Who shall determine what change may befall Fohn and Peter and Robert and Paul?

And Paul may be blessed with a holier birth rhan the patience of man had allowed him on earth. lohn and Peter and Robert and Paul— 3od In his mercy will care for them all. —Burlington Ilawkeye.

Catarrb is a loathsome, dangerous disease, and the time has come when to suffer from it is a disgrace.
