This Date In History—June 10,

"SOME men are born suckers, some achieve suckidity, while others have suction thrust at their," says Howard Saxby. Just now ex-Governor Chase seems to be a horrid example of the trinity.

TRUSTS are in the declining scale. The people do not favor great combinations based upon watered stock, but free and legitimate competition. The laws of trade are rapidly upsetting the schemes of monopolists.

JUDGES WOOD and Jenkins, of the United States Circuit Court, have decided that the World's Fair must close its gates on Sunday. What the next step the Sunday openers will take remains to be seen.

THE correspondent of the New York Press says the Chicago hotels are but half full, and the Fair the perfect flower of civilization. If the people would only realize it, now is the time to see the Fair. It is a blunder to wait until it is perfected. By that time the crowds will be crushing.

"IT is well," says Mr. Cleveland, "for the people to take up the subject for themselves, and arrive at their own conclusions as t,o the merits of a financial policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver bullion with gold taken from our reserve." And what is to become of the "robber tariff?"

EDWARD ATKINSON, the rampant free trader and worshipper of Grover Cleveland, says in his opinion "the Administration will do very little indeed with the tariff." Thie is probably the correct opinion, but why hold the tariff smashing club over the heads of our manufacturers in such a threatening manner? It is this uncertainty that is playing havoc with all of our industrial enterprises.

THE Ohio Prohibitionists are still intoxicated with their wild fancies. They have nominated a complete State ticket and declare their intention to go in to win. They always declare themselved in some such way, and always lose. Nor is that the worst of it. Organized ostensibly 10 fight the Free-Rum Democrats, they usually manage to defeat the Republican ticket. Like the gentleman with an abnormal thirst, the Prohibitionist is always his own worst enemy.

THE railroads should make concessions in their passenger rates to Chicago. The demand for reduced fares is becoming imperious at Chicago, and the corporations are face to face with the problem whether increased traffic will not compensate for lower charges. It IB public policy to facilitate in every way the contact of the people with the most instructive and most beautiful world' exhibit of the century. The agitation for special excursion rates has behind it elements of success.

THE Review says there are fourteen candidates for the postoffice, and then when Brookshire was here last week "he W8B shrewd enough to say nothing positive to any of the numerous individuals importuning him," and "not one of the fourteen candidates know whom he will recommend." The Review is suffering the penalty of not being on the inside. It can safely be said that at least one of the fourteen knows now. There are wheels within wheels. The wheels have the call. The "ring is not in it. Again the Review says that "it can easily be assured that there will be thirteen mad fellows at the end of the contest." Wrong once more. There'll only be twelve. This may be all a riddle to the

Review, bat the Bolution is not difficult when you know how.

AN official table giving the salaries paid toachers in New England cities shows that in the college towns there is less paid for teaching than in other cities. Boston pays the principal of the high school $3,780 a year, principals of grammar schools from §2,550 to 82,880,teachers in high schools from $75G to 81,380, and teachers in grammar and primary schools from 8756 to 8816 a year. Cambridge pays the principal of the high school $3,000 a year, principals of grammar schools 82,000 teachers in the high schools from 8700 to $950, and teachers in the grammar and primary schools from 8300 to $600. Northampton, another college town, pays the principal of the high school 82,600, principals of the grammar schools $494, teaohers in the high schools from 8500 to 8600 and teaohers in the grammar and primary schools from 8266 to $380. New Haven pays the principal of the high school 82,700, principals of grammar schools $2,500, teachers in the high schools from $700 to $1,000 and teachers in the grammar and primary schools from $350 to $700.

TIIE Wabash Plain Dealer reminds its readers of the graveyard insurance, marriage dowery record of ex-Governor Gray in this way:

While the Democratic organs over the State are whooping it lip to ex-Governor Chase lor his alleged connection with the Dwiggins banks in Indiana, they should not neglect to mention the l'act that Isaac P. Gray, minister to Mexico under the Cleveland administration, worked the swindling marriage dowery racket for all it was worth a dozen years ago and did some lively dodging to escape criminal prosecution.

Just now it isn't safe for the pot tocall the kettle black. There's this difference, however: Gray's dark ways and vain tricks did not lower him in the esteem of the Democractic party, while with Chase he will sink to the realm of that obscurity where the hand of resurrection can not reach him.

"WE are going to try England's magnificent policy of Free- Trade and compete with her for the commerce of the world under the hataral laws of demand and supply. So declares the Atlanta Constitution. This talk about "natural laws of supply and demand" is simply absurd' in view of the fact that England pays some $4,000,000 yearly in subsidies to their merchant marines, thus making it possible for British steamers to trade with every jjort in the world and to fetch and carry to the ends of the earth.

IN two years ending April 1,1893, the Bank of France increased its stock of gold $96,960,000 of Austria, $25,891,000 of England, $19,230,000 of Germany $22,308,500 of Spain, $9,326,000 of Netherlands, $4,543,000. Between April 1, 1891, and October 1, 1892, the Bank of Russia increased its stock of gold $122,992,000. During the two yehrs ending April 1, 1893, the supply of gold held by the United States diminished $74,057,000.

IF Ex-Governor Chase is guilty as charged in the indictment that has been returned against him by the Howard county grand jury let him suffer the consequences without any technical evasion of the law. If, on the other hand, it can be shown that he was but an innocent dupe of Dwiggins, Paris and Nave he should not be made to suffer for their knavery. No really guilty man should be permitted to escape.

COLONEL WATTERSON declares that the mission of the Democratic party is "not to conserve, but to destroy." Riffht well it is fulfilling its mission in aesuroymg confidence which leads to the destruction of banks and factories. How do the people enjoy the iconoclastic tendencies of the Democratic party

Sewing Circle meets every Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Ed Welch attended high school commencement.

Charley Lee wears a pleasant smile— he has anew buggy. Rev. Jackman will preach here next Wednesday evening.

Several from here went fishing at Big Sugar one day last week. Ed Welch's favorite song is "Over the Hills by the Poor House."

Sherman Moore and Miss Carrie Stark are very frequent visitors here. Mrs. Wm. McFeely visited friends at Bowers Btation Saturday and Sunday.

Ben Shelton has a new buggy and a fine trotter, goes quite often to Georgia. Mrs. Win. Miller and daughter Anna, of Shannondale spent Sunday at Mr. Jacob Milbr's.

Mrs. Charley Rogers and children, of Brownsvalley, spent Saturday and Sunday with friends.

George Kennedy and Bruce Martin caught two large fish weighing respectively 11^ and 8£ pounds.

There will be a strawberry and ice cream festival in the new church next Saturday night, June 17. A cordial invitation is extended to all.

THE purpose of the clergy of Pittsburg to preach on local sanitation is an exhibition of practical Christianity that is as commendable as it is unique. They believe that cleanliness is not only next to godliness, but is a part of godliness. Bishop Whitehead, of he Episcopalian church, has issued a circular letter indorsing the movement and suggesting that the subject be connected "with the doctrine of prayer, showing how futile will be mere empty words of petition for the averting the plague if our prayers be not accompanied by active measures for the abolition of all causes of disease." The Brigys question having been settled for the present how would it do for the Crawfordsville ministers to turn their batteries on the question of local sanitation and urge the necessity of a complete and comprehensive system oJ sewerage as an effective means to godliness? A sermon on sewers is not only alliterative but it is a timely topic.

SPEAKING of the sentence of suspension imposed upon Dr. Briggs b_v the General Assembly, and his refusal to recant, the New York Press says:

The charge of "obstinaney," because he refuses to retract or compromise or pledge himself to keep silence on the questions in dispute shows how pitilully incapable his enemies are of understandihg the spirit, which makes men sacriiice personal comfort and peace for the sake of truth ns they see it. It was not with Dr. liriggs a question ol' stubbornness or good natured compliance. It was a question of fidelity or treachery to conscience. '1 he opinions of such a man are not things to be taken on or shullied olf like a suit of clotnes. He has reached his conclusions by long and sincere study, bv applying to the task an amount of learning and powor of intellect that his persecutors, for the most part cannot comprehend. To ask him to renounce convictions thus reached, merely because they had been voted down in a big convention, was preposterous. It was importing the methods of the sixteenth century into the nineteenth. That sort of thing did not work very well when tried by the holy inquisitors in the case of Galileo. It did not work at all when tried by the commissioners to the General Assembly in the case of Dr. Hriggs.

THE Democratic party has not ruined the country, but considering the fact that it has only been in power three months it has made a very fair start.

A ground hog caused qui'o a sensation in the east end Monday. Dogs fought furiously but fell ble.-diug and mangled. The animal was killed by a crack marksman, Ed Johnson.

The cow ordinance is now in working order. Two swine were impounded and streaming posters adorned the town which read as follows: "Taken up, one hog with white jaws and feet which will probably weigh 125 lbs."

Geo.Dollis and 01 Vanice accompanied two girls from Hog Heaven to meeting here Sunday evening, and in the shuffle they lost the girls. Excitement ran high until they were found. They were only having some fun out of the heavenly angels.

The gas well is now at rest. Chris Masters has returned home and as. the stock company has no desire to increase the capital stock and pay them 8300 extra they think of embarking. The bills they cannot roll and we have nothing but a deep hole. th, jr., had a valuable mare struck by a Big Four freight engine. All the hair was torn from her frame and he was a sorrowful aspect. The horse would not listen to the hoarse voice of a west ender and no doubt she will not be able to taste the pumpkin pie or soaked corn laid up for her. She will soon fill the horse grave where repining has long ceased.
