FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1895.

WE have not had a McKinly tariff the past year, but our export trade fell off over 384 ,000,000.

WHAT has become of that boycott that Sovereign declared on national banks-.' It seems the boycotter has been boycotted.

MARSHALL FIELD, of Chicago, is said to have made more money out of merchandise last year than any other man in the world, his net profits amounting to ST.000,000.

TIIK new trustees of the several townships will begin their duties very properly by thoroughly cleaning up all the school premises before the Fall season begins.

THE New Vork Herald has found by actual count that those who rode bicycles in that city on Sunday last outnumbered the persons who drove horses by five to one.

THE butchers claim that they should be exempted from the Sunday closing law. There are many poor people, they state, who do not feel able to purchase ice to preserve meat over Sunday.

A LEADING electrician says that electric locomotives will be cheaper and swifter than steam locomotives, and that if tracks are even and straight and roadbeds good, a speed of 300 miles an hour is within the range of possibility.

THE imports of woolen goods under tariff reform have increased 800 per cent. In May, 1894. we imported under protection $211,533 worth of woolens. Under reform, in May, 1895. we imported SI.019,055 worth of the same class of goods.

DEBS from his place in jail has calls upon the workingmen to dedicate Labor Day to a tremendous protest against the court which has "bludgeoned civil liberty to death." Debs seems to be still under the influence of cucumbers.

FRANKFORT has just completed the work of paving twelve squares with brick. The sewerage work is still in progress, but as the sewers run through the alleys the street paving will not in any way interfere. When will work on sewerage begin in CrawferdE' iil»i?

THIS fall the Southeastern and the Indiana conference of the Methodist church are to be united as one body under the name of the Indiana conference. This is a sensible move and it is about time the Northwestern and the North Indiana should begin to aeitate union.

NEW YORK Prcsn: It is in vain for the people to expect that President Cleveland will leave the affairs of the country in as good condition as he found them. They will now be satisfied with the thought that he will be compelled to leave thein, no matter in what shape they may be.

THE most recent surveys show that Oregon has 10,000,000 acres of dense forests. The whole world will want the lumber. It means great wealth to Oregon. Washington has perhaps as rich wealth in its trees as Oregon, and nature, by the many lagoons and deet streams far into the interior, and in connection with the Pacific, lias made the marketing of lumber easy and practicable.

ST. LOUIS Qlnhe-Dcuiucrtit: On July 8. lhCil, Spain issued a proclamation of neutrality in regard to the American civil war, and acknowledged the Confederates as belligerents. This was before«the battle of Hull Run. and England had taken the same action two months earlier. If the Cuban insurgents set up a provisional government they need not be backward about claiming belligerent rights.

EVERYHODV should begin nm to make preparations for the Montgomery county fair, which the managers say will be the best ever held on the grounds. Montgomery county is famous for her agricultural exhibitions and the people come from far and near to see what our people can do. They have never gone home disappointed. They will not be this year as many new and unique features will be introduced.

THE following eloquent eulogy on John Brown is by that veteran journalist. S. K. Donavin, of Columbus, Ohio, who stood near the brave old man when he was struck down as he left the fort, who had sixty interviews with him and who followed him to the scaffold on that crisp December morning in IS.V.i.,

It is only within a few years that the people have awakened to the importance of the acts of John Brow Some one has said that John Urown wrote the emancipation proclamation on the Blue Ridge Mountains with his blood. People are just beginning to grasp the heroic actions of this old man who offered up his life on Virgin ia soil that men might be free. It is just as certain as that night doth follow day that the time is near at hand when this old martyr will be a peerless character in all liberty-loving countries. The story of his sacrifice will be told in 'e7ery schoolbook, and the children of the generations coming in will be pointed to him as the noblest character that lived and died save one —Abraham Lincoln—to secure liberty for a down trodden people.

In the groveling and contention of everyday life, when we are seeking for the accumalation of riches, it is a happy thing if we can raise our eyes from the ground where wealth is dug and take a look at the stars which shine above us. The man who connects his name with preserving the deeds of John Brown will live in human hearts as long as the stars live. To-day the virtuous and heroic youth of all lands are pointed to Leonidas as an exemplar of those who have lived and died for freedom. More than two thousand years have passed, and yet the story of his deeds is as fresh as it was when he performed them. The deeds of this old man Urown will live as long as there are men who are willing to sacrifice and die. The coming ages will give new lessons on this theme, but the old lessons will remain forever green.

THE Cincinnati Commcrciul-GttzcUc favors a one term of six years for our Presidents. Conditions are different now from what they were when the constitution was formed. Then the population of the country was small, and the duties of the President, especially as related to patronage, were comparatively trifling. It thinks had the foresight of the fathers been equal to the hindsight of the present generation, they would have fixed the term at six years and prohibited a re-elec-tion, and then adds:

By reason of the tremendous growth of our country, and the consequent enormous increase in the duties of the President, the four-year term is too short. It requires half of this term to become fairly acquainted with the duties of the office, and at the close of a four-year term a President, however conscientious and however intelligent, is only fairly qualified to discharge the duties of the office with an eye single to the interests of the people. This is a proposition now so well established that it will not be largely disputed. Therefore the term should be extended.

This is one of the questions that will force itself upon the people for solution before many years, and as 'the C. O. well says, should not not be made a party question. It concerns no living candidate for the office, but it does concern the American people.'. The question of six years and one term should be considered and intelligently discussed from the.standpoint of pure patriotism.

AN effort is being made to revive the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Children. Such a society one time had an existence here, and while not strong yet in a feeble way it accomplished a great deal of good. For some cause it was permitted to lapse into a state of innocuous deseutude, and for spme time the society has been dead. The attempt to revivify and breathe into it new life should meet the hearty approval and endorsement of all humane and right thinking people. A large number of signatures have been obtained to the paper now in circulation for the organization of such a society, which is certainly encouraging to the promoters. Every humane man and woman in the city should become members and lend their influence toward the suppression of cruelty, to both animals and children which prevails to such a wide extent.

U.„ NUMBER THIRTKKN. Petros were at the Battle Ground camp meeting over Sunday.

Rev. Joel Thomas, of Arcanum, ()., visited here the first of the week. Billy Bannon, of Veedersburg,visited his father, James Bannon, recently.

James Ciarkson and wife have been visiting their daughter at Lafayette. Charley boy would better hold the Billy horse next time he bids his girl goodbye.

The Co. II reunion at Bottenburg's was a grand success. A full account appears elsewnere.

Wesley Iving, long a resident of this township, died suddenly at the residence of Henry I'alin last week. He was 05 years old and unmarried. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. H. Toliver. Interment at Newtown.

The Roadhamel family had a reunion at Sant Utterbaek's last Sunday. The entire family of father, mother, children and grandchildren were present. A good dinner was served, after which the family was photographed.

The threshing is mostly done. Oats was a good average crop. Dazey, Fulwider. Hornell and Thomas had a little less than 14 bushels of wheat to the acre, none going less than 13 bushels. The quality was fair, about half selling as No. 2.

HOW,.MAY THE SUNIMY SCHOOL ENCOI'KAGK TH KIR SUl'EIJIsTKNI)i .\ r.

1!Y S." 1!. III.MIvS.

1. The school can encourage the superintendent by regular attendance. Just like the preacher or the da-v school teacher the superintendent can do better work when the attendance is constant. Members of Sunday schools if you want to encourage and help your superintendent, be present. Be present every Sunday. Don't let anything but sickness or death keep you away. If visitors come invite them to go with you: tell them you have an engage ment with the Lord—for so you ought to feel it—especially if you area teacher, and you cannot afford to break that engagement even one Sunday out of fifty-two for so trivial a thing as Sunday visiting. Few things tie the hands and discourage a superintendent like irregular attendance. Hot or cold, rain or shine, be present. 2. By promptness. Be on time. At the tap of the bell, the announcement of the first hymn, or whatever the signal for opening may be, be in your places. There is no excuse for being late either at church or Sunday school but laziness—carelessness, forgetfulness or anything else is no excuse but the poor fellow who is lazy he ought to be excused if tardy. Any household, no matter how many little tots there are to look after, or chickens to feed, by a little system can arrange to be on time at Sunday school and church. Feel here, too, your engagement is with the Lord and don't keep him waiting. The most abominable of all excuses is dissipating Saturday night and oversleeping Sunday morning. Be on time. 3. By being orderly. Don't be talking or whispering except in connection with the lesson and work of the hour. Conform to the proprieties of the school and sanctities of the place of worship. Sit up straight and quietly. Keep your feet still and pay attention to what is said and done. I 4. By being obedient. If the superintendent makes any request promptly do all in your power to grant it. If he asks you to teach a class go at once and do your best. If he asks you to join in responsive reading, to repeat the Lord's prayer, to sit in a certain part of the room, to stand while you sing, or kneel during prayer, be obedient. Be ready to second his efforts and endorse his plans.

By being cheerful. Not only be present, prompt, quiet and obedient, but withal be cheerful. Wash your face, comb your hair and look pleasant. The Sunday school ought to be a bright, cheery place. A smile begets a smile. If the superintendent is arbitrary, selfish and crabid try a smile on him. Sunshine melts ice. Get the sunshine into your heart and beam it via your countenance every time the superintendent looks your way, and it will do wonders toward helping him. 0. Place a flower upon superintendent's desk. A lady at Kerhankson, N. Y., has for eighteen years 'decorated the pulpit with flowers without missing a Sunday—think she will have no reward? A little thing may often cheer the heart of the anxious and busy superintendent. 7. By being respectful. Greet the superintendent kindly when you meet him during the week. Ask him what you can,do to help him. Remember whenever and wherever you see him that he is your superintendent and treat him with re6pect.

8. By visiting him. You needn't all go at once, yet that might not be a bad idea. Once or twice a year the school might surprise him by a visit to his home. He is but human and it will do him good thus to be remembered. 0. By making him a present. At your annual yisit or at Christmas time, or both, present the superintendent with-a suitable gift. If he is earnest and faithful he does a great deal of extra work and spends a great deal of extra time gratis for the welfare of the school. One or more such helps as Pincent's "The Modern Sunday School," Trumbell's "Yale Lectures On the Sunday»School," Dr. Strong's "Bible Concordance." Any standard commentary, Sunday school periodical or other help not already in his library would be appropriate and helpful as presents. 10. You can help the Superintendent by bringing in new scholars, and helping him to make the neglected feel at home when you get them there. This is very important and much more depends on the school in this direction than the superintendent if any attempt is made to build up the school and do the mission work that ought to be done by every school. A slight, an unkind word, even an unpleasant look by a pupil, or a small neglect of attention by a teacher, may do more to drive away a strange pupil than forty superintendents can overcome. 11. Take care of your lesson helps and papers. Don't dog-ear, nor. write nor make comic pictures in your singing books. Broken-backed torn-leaved soug books, papers wadded up, left on the seats or scatterd on the floor* is anything but encouraging to the superintendent. !•'. Cojne to the Sunday school with

your lessons and work well prepared. I Anyone ought to feel it a disgrace to have to say "I can't answer the questions or teach a class for I haven't studied the lesson."* Think of it. and prepare during the week. 13. Don't forget your "pennies."

Don't lot the superintendent bear the greater part of the expense of the school. How much more efficient Sunday schools would be if more liberal. Black boards, maps and other helps would help the superintendent to help the school.

M. Join in the singing. Music is a part of worship and a great auxiliary to Sunday school success. Sing! Sing like meadow larks, or if you can't sing like a lark then sing like a bull-frog in any event sing. Don't say you can't, just say "I'm too lazy." Oh, how it would cheer and encourage the heart of the superintendent if everybody would "sing with the spirit of the understanding." 15. Lastly, but by no means least, speak well of and pray often for your Superinteneent. It is wonderful how a few words of well-meant praise will help one engaged in responsible work. II is wonderful how our own relation to persons and things change when we earnestly pray for them. Your»Superintendent may not be perfect—few are but Christ said "well done" to the good servant who had been faithful over but a few things, and why should we be so charry with our praise-.' Instead of carping criticism, see something good in him and speak well of it to him and to others. Pray for him, for yourself and for the school, that Christ may lead you and help you, that all may be better and help all.
