FACTS, figures and prosperity are running- along hand in hand and they are all giving the free-6ilver croakers trouble.

THE Kansas State Hoard of Agriculture estimates the total value of Kan sas agricultural products for 1897 to be $176,000,000, the greatest since 1890.

OHISTCKY is now 6imply repeating itself. Whenever the country gets a good protective tariff on its statute books after a low tariff blunder, it al ways does repeat itself.

.ELIJAH P. LOVE JO V.

The recent unveiling of a monument at Alton, Illinois, to the memory of Elijah P. Lovejoy, calls to mind one of the most memorable, as well as one of the most disgraceful events of the long struggle of the "slave power" for supremecy in the management of the government. Mr. Loyejoy was a minister of the gospel and published in St. Louis the St. Louis Observer, a weekly religious journal of the orthodox protestant school. He was a man of learning and high character, and in the habit of denouncing in his paper whatever he deemed wicked or cruel and unjust. Soon after the establishment of the Observer two events happened which drew from his somewhat caustic pen severe criticism. Two men in Illinois were suspected of helping slaves to make their escape from slavery in Missouri, and they were arrested by a mob from St. Louis, taken to that city and publicly whipped on their naked backs, one hundred lashes each, the moBt respectable men(?) in the city taking turns in laying on the lash. Immediately after this whipping episode, a public meeting was called, at which a number of resolutions were proposed and unanimously1 adopted. One of these denies the right to discuss the subject of slavery or to publicly deny the right to holu slaves. Another one was as follows:

Resolved, That the sacred writings furnish abundant evidence of the existence of slavery from the earliest periods. The patriots and prophets possessed slaves—our Savior recognized the relation between master and slave, and deprecated it not hence we know that he did not condemn that relation on the contrary Sis disciples, in all countries, designated their respective dnties to each other

It Btaggers belief at the present day but it is nevertheless true, that at that time thiB resolution was passed, its sentiments and tone were quite generally endorsed all over the country, and there was scarcely a pulpit south of Mason and Dixon line that did not echo them Sabbath after Sabbath. O The prevalence of this spirit it was that, brought forth from John G. Whittier the memorable poem in which are these lines:

How long, O Lord, how long Shall such a priesthood barter truth away, And in thy name, for robbery and wrong,

At thy own altars pray? Mr. Lovejoy, in what would now be considered a mild way, published a protest against this resolution denying that slavery was in harmony with the Christian religion. But, perhaps, this offense might have been passed over without bloodshed and murder had it not been for another event which immediately followed. On the 28th of April, 1SSC, a fight occurred between two boatmen on the river. When an oflicer attempted to arrest them, for a breach of peace, a negro man interfered and enabled the offenders to escape, for which he was then taken before a justice of the peace and ordered to jail. The negro on the way to jail, was informed that his punishment would be not less than five years in the penitentiary, whereupon he broke way from the officers and stabbed one of them fatally. He was, however, rearrested and lodged in jail. But a mob soon took him out, carried him to the outskirts of the city, chained him to a stake, piled dry wood around him which they set on fire and slowly roasted him to a crisp. When he had been burnt to death, the rabble amused themselves by throwing stones at the corpse, seeing which could first break its skull Mr. Lovejoy, in th«j next issue of his paper, denounced this affair as brutal and unworthy of savages. The judge of the criminal court of St. Louis, however, took a totally different view of the affair. He instructed grand jury that "as the burning was done by congregated thousands under a sudden frenzy, then I say act not at all: the case then transcends your ju­

risdiction—itisjbeyondjthe reach of human law." This deliverance from the bench, was attacked by Mr. Lovijoy, in a vigorous way, and expose with merciless severity. Whereupon a mob surrounded his office and tore down his press. After this his press and material were removed to Alton, Illinois, to "escape future mob violence, and here he continued to discuss the slave question till the feeling opened so strong against him that, he was little, more exempt from violence than he had been in St. Louis. Even a .m»j irity of the people of Illinois could not bear to hear slavery denounced as a wrong. To make a long story short, it is enough to say that an infuriated mob surrounded Mr. Lovejoy oiliee determined to demolish it, and forever put a stop to the publication of ati an-ti-slavery paper in that State. In an attempt to defend his property he was shot in the breapt with a charge of buckshot and died in a few moments.

It is very hard for people of the present generation to believe that such scenes as we have here narrated, were actually enacted in St. Louis and Alton but sixty years ago. Yet they are a part of the history of the country, and the disgrace growing out of them can only be atoned for by seeing that they-do not occur again. The monument built now in honor of Lovejoy will be no less a monument to the everlasting shame and disgrace of our ancestors.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS.

Charles D. Meigs, State Sunday School Superintendent, spent a few hours with friends in the city last Saturday. He reports Sunday school work prosperous throughout the State. Many new schools are being started and old ones revived. The home department is growing stronger all over the State—it now has something like 8,000 members. Bally Day is being observed pretty generally and the contributions reaching our State treasurer are larger than ever before. Montgomery county is holding its own and still leads the State—already almost half of our pledge is paid and we hope by Janury 1 to have it paid in full. Every school that has observed Rally Day thus far reports large attendance, school greatly strengthed, and contribution for State work greater than ever. Our city schools are a little slow in taking hold of this matter—as yet we believe that none of them have observed the day. Certainly they would be greatly strengthened and we hope that they will soon fall in line.

Persons interested in Sunday school work would do well to arrange to attend the second quarterly convention of the Montgomery County Sunday School Association at Yountsvtlle on, Friday, Nov. 26. This will be the day after Thanksgiving—the secular schools will all be closed—so that many who ordinarily could not attend will be privileged to do so. The people of Yountsville are preparing for us. The convention-will probably be held in the church building and dinner served in the hall opposite. The Bayless picnic wagons will be used to convey persons to and from the convention. They will call at the different Sunday schools for persons desiring to go. Time of starting, fare, etc., will be announced next week.

We have often«spoken in these columns of the zeal and enthusiasm of the Sunday school workers of Madison township, at Oakland, Mt. Pleasant and Linden

Echool

and Fairview, at

Kirkpatrick. All but one school in this township has obserbed Rally Day and all report attendance greatly increased and schools benefited. The report from the Linden Christian Sunday school was very encouraging and its collection for State work next to the largest of any in the county, but now comes Fairview, of Kirkpatrick, with a most excellent report and a larger contribution for State work than any of our city schools ever gave. Thi6 speaks well for Fairview as its average attendance is not more than one-third as great as several other schools in the county.

Walnut township is planning for a most excellent convention next Thursday, Nov. 18, at Mace. A good programme has been arranged and all persons interested in Sunday school work are welcome. Following is the programme: 9:30—Devotional exercises

SOUTH TOWN.

We have had a great dealj of damp weather this week. Mrs. Spruce called on Mrs. McClure Wednesday evening.

Mr. Hosier was down about Mace last week on business. The school is getting along nicely with about fifty pupils.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon have returned home after a long visit. Mr. Co'lings attended church at Mt. Zion Saturday evening.

Mrs. Etta Gaurd, of near Darlington, was in Highland Wednesday. Mrs. Weeks, of Whitesville, visited in Highland Monday evening.

Quite a stir in Highland in real estate. One piece of property changed hands twice in forty-eight hours. A colored man from Bloomington bought Mr. Paire's property. The deeds were all made ana his wife being sent for to sign a mortgage and on her seeing the place she decided she would not have it as it did not suit her taste. Her taste that time cost her S19. Wives, this should be a lesson to you, as S19 is not picked off of beech trees every day.

MORE ABOUT PRATHER.

(Continued From First Pnye

had talked with before leaving town. He told Rev. L. F. Galey that Rev. W. T. Cuppy had told him that he (Galey) was the worst enemy that he (Prather) had in Waveland, when in fact, lie had had no conversation with Mr. Cuppy on the subject of Galey's attitude in the matter.

Just awhile before the. trial, while in conversation with Rev. I,. Galey and Rev. A. S. M^yhitll, he heid up his hand and said: "Brethren, so help me God, I never was prosecuted and convicted by any court on earth He also saiil and did the same thing in his own home in the presence of one of these men and repeated the same in the presence of a number of men on the street in Brown's Valley.

Mr. Prather told in our pulpit and out of it here and at Waveland and at Dana that he left the Presbyterian church because he had studied the Bible critically and it led him to the Baptist faith, when in fact the records of the Macinaw Presbytery show that he was bounced for indecent exposure of his person to ladies and courting a lady when he had a wife, and lying. These records we have in Crawfordsville. Will his friends deny? Come again. We want a chance to ventilate this man fully that the world may know what he is. We don't want to prosecute your man but as Brother Powell (the man who baptized him) says, "He has gone far enough with his deviltry in the name of a Baptist minister." If you think he won that Kansas case you name in your article you write to W. C. Banks, Salina, Kan., or N. H. Lootnis, Topeka, or you may write to VV. A. Stilwell, a former Montgomery county, Ind., man, at Salina, Kansas, for further facts.
