The sixth quarterly meeting of the Cain township Sunday school umon convened in Ellis' Grove last Sunday. The programme printed last week was observed Miss Warfield's welcome was brief, pointed and well delivered. Mr. Clodfelder'b response covered all the grounds, was original and showed careful consideration and showed a gift of oratorical powers as to cause his friends to urge him to take vocal culture. D. P. Hefner suggested that the unions be held on Thursday preceding the fifth Sunday, but by a vote they will yet be held on the fifth Sunday. John Rivers invited the union to convene tl^e next meeting at Antioch church, northeast ot Hillsboro on October 29. After dinner Brother James Horn made a good speech on the subject, "How to Organize Sunday Schools." Mr. Horn held and impressed his audience well and an instructive discussion followed which brought many good points before the people. Mr. Walker's paper,"The Relation of Intermediate to Advanced and Primary Work," was also well delivered and received. It showed deep thinking. Sam Newlin's oration on the theme, "Is the World Growing Worse?" was an able production of a worthy young man. His delivery was good and the speaker appealed to be perfectly at home before his audience of 1,200 intellectual people. Rev. Phillips' talk on Sunday school work was very fitting and instructive. All of the declaimers did honor to themselves but space will not permit mention of each. The music was simply grand and better singing would be difficult so find, even the infant class proving to be singers. The church and fcsunday school interest of Cain township is not dead but living. The fruits 0/ this work have been large but they will be greater.

The Fruits cyclone stacker machine will thresh lor R. B. Snyder. This will afford an opportunity for our farmers to see the feasilility of stacking straw without straw stackers.

How do our Democratic farmers like 15 cents a pound for wool How do they like 45 cents for wheat? How do they like the drop in hogs from $8 and $7 per 100 pounds to less than 15 How do they like the prospects ol' the farmer in general now in these good old Democratic times? They have low prices now, things are cheap, but not in the way the Democratic stump blowers promised. Instead of what we sell beinir high and what we buy being low they find just the opposite, true as Republicans said, must be the inevitable cost of a change.

We would like to ask our Democratic friends why the Democratic Congress in its last session did not repeal the Sherman silver law if it is the cause of the present financial distress The opportunity wus ripe, they bad an immense majority and the tone of the Republican majority in the Senate was such us favored its reneal. If not there were a sufficient number of Republican Senators in favor of doing away with the present silver faw, together witii the combined strength of the Democrats to have sent to the President for his signature an act for its repeal. There is no excuse for the hard tunes but the uncertain money policy of the Administration and the "tariff for revenue only" plank framed at Chicago.
