A DILL now in the Illinois Legislature provides that "any newspaper found guilty of unduly eulogizing any person or persons, thus falsely building for such person or persons a repuntation without merit, thereby misleading and deceiving the public, shall, after ten davs' notice served in writing upon the publisher or publishers of said newspaper of the false and misleading character of said eulogy, make a retraction or correction of said eulogy, in manner and place as conspicuous as was its original publication, for three succeeding issues of 6aid newspaper. This act shall not apply to deceased persons, nor be operative against funeral orations nor obitu ary notices." It is presumed that candidates lor oilice will come under the exemption clause.
IT is the universal verdict of the onlookers at the Washington street fire on Tuesday night that the fire laddies never did better work than was done there in arresting what promised to be the destruction of that entire block, and not only that block, but the one directly north of it. Chief Vance preserved his head throughout. He knew just what to do, and he gave his orders to his well disciplined force with the coolness and confidence of a great general on the field of battle. This Are showed the want of hooks and ladders, but even in the absence of these necessary equipments the men who fought the implacable foe exhibited a heroism that was appreciated by the throng of spectators, and for which our citizens should hold them in grateful remembrance.
Tiiu Department of Agriculture has issued a statistical report showing the numbers and prices of farm animals in the United States on January 1, lb',17. It is especially interesting and valuable in regard to the horse-breeding industry, which in the last few years has taken a downward course and continues to be much disturbed. This state of affairs is usually attributed to the rapid introduction of the trolley and the bicycle, but the figures submitted by the department proves these to have been but minor causes. Most ot the decline in prices is due to the heavily increased production of horses on the newly opened ranges of the West, and the facilities afforded for handled the trailic by the transcontinental lines of railway. The world has never before been so large a region suddenly made available for horse breeding. Between the years 3SSI) and ISM the number of horses in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kcw Mexico aud further west, in creased from 1,47'J,70S to 1,072,53a, or about one-third. The surplus was shipped to outside markets.
DEMOCRATIC papers assert from day to day that Thomas Jefferson was a free trader. It is really amusing, if not edifying, to see this constant reiteration without the shadow of proof for the. assertion. On the contrary all the evidence goes to show that JeHereon was as much of a protectionist as was Alexander Hamilton. In a letter •written under the shades of Monticello on March 2, 1815, to Jean Batiste Say, a Frenchman who was about to emigrate to this country, he said:
The prohibiting duties we lay on all articles of foreign manufacture which prudence requires us to establish at home, with the patriotic, determination of every good citi/.en to use no foreign art'cle which can be made within ourselves, without regard to difference of price, secures us against a relapse into foreign dependency. And this circumstance may be worthy of your consideration should you continue in the disposition to emigrate to this country.
Jf this proves anything it proyes that Jefferson was a high protectionist, even to the extent of prohibitory duties, lie carried MB ideas so far that he wore upon his body the evidence of the faith that was in him. It is well known that Jefferson wore nothing but homespun clothing.
THE decline in the rate of interest as shown in the recent refunding operations of the Lake Shore Railway whereby it pays off its old mortgage of about §45,000,000, which draws 7 per cent., by making a new loan at 'AlA per cent., means that a general decline in the compensation of capital is under way. The world is accumulating wealth rapidly. It is available for investment in enormous sums, and in every branch of industry less and less

of it is required to accomplish a given result. Municipal bonds show the same falling rate of interest. That means more healthful cities at the same taxation. The rate of interest on real estate loans has the same tendency. That means a higher value for land, but offset by a more effective use of land. A low rate of interest on money means an increase in the productive industries of the country. Capital is crowding every line of industry and business as never before. The outlook for general activity in ail kinds of business was never before more tlattering than it is now. Just as soon as the tariff bill is through Congress all our industries, of whatever nature, will go forward with a bound.
A PUP.Lie LI1SKAIJV.
Notwithstanding Crawfordsville is blessed with a lirst class college, while the public schools stand second to none in the State, or for that matter, in the West, together with other means for culture, such as churches. Sunday schools, and last but not least, the newspapers, yet sad to relate the city has no public library. While it is true we have a library connected with the college, rich in cyclopedias, lexicons and books of reference and its alcoves are filled with carefully selected miscellaneous books purchased in this country and in Europe, yet it is not open to the public. The growth of public libraries in the cities of the United States during the last few years has been remarkable and tha increase in the use of them has been not less wonderful, but Crawfordsville has not kept the pace. There are no less than fifteen clubs in the city organized for literary culture. Could not these clubs in their associated capacity start the nucleus for a library? While of course it might be discou-rag-ingly small at first, but all things great grew from little beginnings. Waiting for some rich man or woman to die and leave a legacy for a public library is too much like waiting for the final judgment. Such persons prefer to leave their money to established institutions. Th8 time to begin the agitation for such a useful and necessary institution is now.
THE Popocrats are scared. There is a rebellion in the Democratic party against further continuance of the alliance between silver Democrats and Populists, and members of both these organizations are wild with alarm. Mr. Bryan's organ, the Omaha Worldllerald, is frantically appealing to the old members of the political job lot which failed in business last November to still hang together. It says: "It would be worse than folly at this

THE HOME DEPARTMENT.
Tho
Sunday School nul Its A(1 vantagesHow |(s Usefulness May Ite Extended.
What are some of its advantages? 1. It extends the Bible study work of the Sunday school into the homes of the church. There are many exemplary church members who do not feel able to attend the Sunday school session, but who can be induced to enroll as Home Department members, aud follow the school week by week in its lesion 6tudy. 2. It also includes many of the parents of the Sunday school children, who, as experience shows, take a deeper interest in their children's work, and are better able to help them, in addition to the good they themselves derive from the busy. 3. By faithful visitation, many members can be secured from families outside of all church lines: poor, neglected or distant households individuals in boarding houses or hoteh-: servants, conductors and others whose duties keep them busy on Sunday persous temporarily prevented from attending inmates of hospitals and other institutions, etc.
I. Members of the Sunday school who remove to the city or to distant localities may be kept in close touch with the school by being transferred
meut, where they can continue their lesson study, reports and contributions by correspondence. In the same way, church members may be enrolled and looked after, until they join some church in their vicinity. 5. It gives the earnest Christian worker a good excuse for visiting the the homes of non-church goers and careless members, and paves the way for many quiet, heart-to-heart talks over lessons with those who seldom near the voice of the preacher.
G. When the Sunday school engages in house-to-house visitation, either singly or in connection with other schools, it is important to have the Home Department ready to receive those who decline or neglect to attend the school and church services, or who profess themselves unable to come. 7. If it is found necessary to close the Suuday school during the winter the entire membership may be transferred to the Home Department, and the work of lesson study can then go on without interruption.
Whom can we to act as visitors? As all of the work of the department is done outside of the Sunday school hour, there is nothing to prevent the pastor, superintendent and teachers from acting as visitors, in addition to their preseut duties. Many church members who have no gift
Can we afford the expense? Every Ilouie Department member is asked to lay by each week such an offering as he would make if present in Sunday school. It is founa in experience that these offerings more than cover the cost^of printed supplies and lesson helps.
How can we start it in our school? 1. Let the pastor or superinte •'iene procure a descriptive circular ani a sample of blanks aud study plan and suggestions. 2. Call a meeting of the Sur.day school teachers and officers and lay the matter fully before them. 3 Elect a superintendent and recording secretary of the Home Department, who shall have the oversight of the work. 4. Divide the congregation, town, couuty or neighborhood into districts containing not more than twenty-five families each. 4. Appoint a visiting committee, composed of two persons for each district. 6. Procure an outfit of suplies for each visiting committee. 7. Procure an additional supply of lesson help, especially lesson quarterlies, for adults, to be paid for by the school, as are those used in the school. 8. When all is ready for action, let the pastor preach a sermon on the work. Tell what it is and name the date when the canvass will be made 9. On the day set for starting, let the visiting committees meet in the church ata m. and have fifteen minutes' prayer together for God's special blessing on their new undertaking, and have all agree to return to the church at 4 p. m. to report and to ask God to own and bless the work done in his name.
It would be a very good plan to mail a copy of the descriptive circular to each family you intend calling on, and write on the top of the page, "please read this circular. I will call on you in a few days to talk to you about it,"' and then sign your name. This will open the way for your visit, and doubtless an answer will be read for you as soon as you call
Descriptive circulars and supplies may be obtained, gratis, of Miss Adelia Cox, county superintendent of the Home Department, or from the county president. "ME SUNDAY SCHOOI.

desire to
teach can do this work well. Sometimes children are appointed as Home Department messengers to carry library books and papers to members under the oversight of a responsible visitor.
Will not the attendance of the main school be reduced? The uniform experience of sunday schools adopting the plan is that the work of the department increases the attendance upon the regular sessions People find the lessons so interesting that they leave the Home Department for the main school. A deeper religious interest soon manifests itself, in larger prayer meetings aud church audiences. Parents pay more attention to the regularity of their scholars' attendance, and come more frequently themselves.
