FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1901.
GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS promises to stick to Col. Bryan through thick and thin. The current year seems to be one of the thins.
ORGANIZED labor and organized capital are trying to see which can pull through the heated term in the better physical condition.
INSURANCE actuaries agree that the expectancy of life is on the increase. Of course, the next move will be to make the people pay for it.
THERE is such a great difference of opinion regarding Cuban affairs that the iirst president of the republic will most likely be a one-termer.
OP the 1,818 miles of new railway track laid in the first half of the current year, 1,275, or more than twothirds, were laid in the south.
FORMER SENATOR PEFPER can not be accused of talking through his whiskers when he. declares that the Populist party is near its animate end.
MR. NATION has gone to live with his daughier and "spend his declining years in peace." The world will wibh him well. He bore up along time.
N. a DEMOCRATIC paper remarks that "Ohio sweeps the populistic and socialistic rubbish out of the way." It seems to have ioi gotten the enthusiasm that attended the fusion with the "rubbish" in 1896.
POOR Billy Bryan's confidence always has been misplaced. After all his sympathies with Spain, that ungrateful monarchy has determined to suspend the coinage of silver.
EXPORTS of cotton seed products from New Orleans last year reached a value of nearly ten million dollars, a remarkable record for what not many years ago was thrown away as a waste material.
THE country is again being treated to a demonstration of the fact that there is no foundation for the theory "that the price wheat and the price of silver are bound to keep each other company.
THE Crimean war fills a large place in history, but its cost to the English was less than that of the conflict in South Africa. The "holiday jaunt to Pretoria" has been a bewildering sur prise in expensiveness.
POSTMASTER-GENERAL SMITH is grappling with the second class mail abuses like a man of mettle, and the people will back him in firmly pushing through reforms that will immensely benefit the general postal service.
NEW YORK Sun: It may be assumed very safely that William Jennings Bryan will be a candidate for Presi dent in 1904, and with the greater as surance because of the course adopted by the Ohio Democratic convention.
"WHAT will the Democrats do?" asks the Philadelphia Hmes. Why, unless they intend to belie all their post-bellum record, they will wait till the other fellows do something, and then Bit on the fence and make faces at them.
UNDER the new army law the regular artillery will consist of 18,000 men. The number now enlisted is 11.000, and 1, 800 will be added at once. In case of future war the men behind the guns will be a numerous and highly trained corps.
THE regular Democracy of Ohio will have to make the campaign thi?yearin opposition to the Kansas City platform, which will be reaffirmed by another branch of the party. No other political organization fights the platform it favored a year before.
THE Bible must be translated into over eighty dialects before it can be of service to all the inhabitants of the Philippines. Yet there were people who wanted to turn over the whole group to the Tagal tribe as a mark of devotion to the consent of the gov erned
IN tbe fivo btatee of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado and Connecticut the foreigs population is 60,000 larger than it was in 1890, while in the same states the inhabitants of native birth hare increased 1,100,000 in the same time. Foreign immigration is large, but tbe native element gains upon it steadily.
"I SHALL not preach politics to you," declared the new pastor of a New York congregation in his initial sermon, to which comforting assurance he. however, significantly added: "I shall preach righteousness to you in the belief that you will be true tt God and let your righteousness manifest itself in your political actions." Pretty good non-political politics that.
MR. BRYAN says of the Ohio Democrats that from their action "one would suppose the main object of the convention was not to write a new platform, but to repudiate the one upon which the last two national campaigns was fought." The Ohio Democrats practically condemned their own party creed, and that was the most sensible thing they did.
THE Kansas City Star says: "It is quite worthy of remembrance that the only man ever lynched in Kansas C.'iy was innocent." A policeman was murdered and a uegro not implicated was hung for the deed. Tt was his mis fortune to be on the route taken by the mob. The real murderer was arrested later on and sent to the penitentiary.
THE Hon. John P. Altgeld can see only political corruption behind the Ohio convention's unexpected repudiation of Bryan's leadership. But there have been few disasters behind which John P. has not been able to smell hostile "boodle" during his long and saddened political career.
OUR naval and coaling stations Cuba will be two on the southern coast, at Cienfuegos and Guantanamo and two on the northern coast at the Bay of Nipe and near Havana. The ports chosen are commodious and the best near the eastern and western extremities of the island.
SPEAKER HENDEKSON, liketAndrew Carnegie, was a poor Scotch boy. If they had remained at home they mighi have been day laborers. Their parentf brought them to the land of great op port,unities, and British royalty now takes pleasure in receiving them a? honored visitors.
Gov. STANLEY places the wheal crop of Kansas at a higher value than that of last year and says the crops ano products that are safe are worth $109, 000,000, without counting corn, oat:-, potatoes or fruit. The situation io Kansas, at worst, is not likely to be calamit ous.
'I WOULD give all my millions," said Mr. Carnegie to a caller, "if you could give me youth and health." Personf possessed of these treasures should make a note of their valuation by man of varied experience.
Pensions Being Paid.
Now is the time the pensionersi are having their vouchers signed and forwarding them to the Indianapoliiagency for payment. Many will anx iously await the carrier on his route to see if he has the familiar looking en velope for them. Others will go to the postoffice and await the arrival of mail from every train that comes from the east to see if their check is in the mail These distributions of money by the government is very noticeable in the financial transactions of this city and county. It is circulation that could not come otherwise and yet you will now and then find some one who will say it is not right. He has the right to that opinion, but it is so overwhelmingly counter-balanced by the opinion of the masses that it iB but a ripple on the wave of popularity.
Kind Words for Mr. Gary. Lafayette Call: Rev. Hugh T. Gary the popular pastor of the First Presbyterian church, is at present enjoying a vacation and there will be no regular preaching service at his church tomorrow. He will remain in tbe east for several weeks. Rev. Mr. Gary is comparatively a very young man, but he is a logical thinker and an able orator. Since coming here he has toiled incessantly for the church he represents and has accomplished much. His congregation has grown until it is again one of the strongest in the city. Mr. Gary is modern in his Ideas and has promise of a brilliant future.
A Noblesvllle Candidate.
Indianapolis New*: Announcement is made that L. S Baldwin, of Nobles ville, will be a candidate next year for the Republican nomination for congress in the Ninth -(Landis'r) district Baldwin is a young attorney, and it is said that he has been assured not only of the support of his own county, but of votes in the other counties.
Linden Band lor the Fair.
The music committee of the Montgomery unty fair association has made a contract with the Linden baud to furnish the music for the fair next month.
EAST EN NOTES
John Brttton has gone to Darlington to make another kiln of brick for Mr. Shannon.
Ernest Hubbard, of Campbellsburg, Ind., spent Sunday with his uncle, George Krug.
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were called to Thorntown Friday evening hy the critical illness of Mrs. Stewart's father.
The east end still has many fishermen and the fish stories they can pit up are larger than the fish they caooh.
THE
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON VI, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, AUG. 11.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. IT, 1-18. Memory Verses. 5-7—Golden Text, Gen. xv, I—Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] 1. "After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision." Among the "these things" must be included the Melchisedek story of the previous chapter which the Holy Spirit considered of such importance that He speaks of it and its relation to Christ iu Ps. cx and in Heb. v, vi and vii. Let no teacher therefore pass it by. Note the new name of Deity "the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth," and consider its use elsewhere. The blessing of Him who owns all things enables us to rise above the temptation to look at or long for the things or the help of this world. All believers, as children of Abram, must not fail to give at least the tithes to our Melchisedek. Note the suggestivenes5 of the bread and wine. We have in our lesson today a good many words and phrases used for the first time, such as "the word of the Lord," "fear not," "shield," "reward," "believed," "righteousness," etc., and as the first use of a word helps us to understand its significance, we have a most important lesson. "The word of the Lord" may refer to the message which came to Abi'am or it may refer to the messenger, the Lord Himself (John i, 1 Rev. xix, 13). When we read the word of God, we must accept the messages as specially for us. This tirst "fear not" takes us to the many other similar words in this precious book, among which these have been and are a great Ifblp, Isa. vii, 4 xli, 10, 13 xliii, 1 Joei ii, 21: Mark v, 30. 2, 3. "And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go childless?" He reminded God that he was still childless and seemed to wonder how and when the promised seed would come. Ilis faith was still weak, but growing. Faith cometh by hearing the word ot' God (Rom. x, 17), and the more of His word we hear and receive the more faith we will have. In the New Testament record the failings are omitted, and only the liiighty faith is seen. So when our story is finished it shall be seen that the precious blood'has put away all that was of us. and therefore sinful, and only that which was wrought in us by God shall be seen. Note Heb. xi, 8-10 Rom. iv, 1S-21. 4-0. "And he believed in the Lord, and He counted it to him for righteousness." Abram is assured that his heir shall not be any one merely born in his house, but shall be his very own child, whom heaven shall iu due time give him. How suggestive the words "Look now toward heaven!" This should be the attitude of every believer at all times, never relying upon an arm of flesh nor upon any human device, but upon the Lord alone. The record of the next chapter had never been if Abram had persisted in looking heavenward. In last lesson we noticed the promise that his seed should be as the stars and its probable significance. Abram received the word. Literally he amen'd God or said amen to God. The Holy Spirit has noticed this three times in the New Testament (Rom. iv, 3, 21, 22 Gal. iii, 0 Jas. ii, 23) and strongly emphasizes this great truth, that the righteousness which God requireth can never become ours by any works of ours, but only by faith in Jesus Christ (Rom. iv, 5 Eph. ii, 8, 9 Titus, iii, 5). 7. "1 am the Lord." That should settle everything and dispel every fear. Notice how it begins and ends the seyen great "I wills" of Ex. vi, 6-8. Notice it as a sufficient reason for all that God requires of them (Ex. rx, 2 Lev. xxii, 31-33 xxiii, 43) and an all sufficient assurance to them that He will do what He says (Ezek. xxxvi, 22, 23. 32, 36), and the great truth that all nations have yet to learn (xxxviii, 23). 8-11. "Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?" Strong and weak, steadfast and wavering, and down, seems to have been the waj with him as he grew in grace and in the knowledge of God. Therefore be not discouraged, weak and trembling «ne, for the Lord will perfect all that concerns you for His name's sake. The creatures that he took at God's command and prepared as a sacrifice comprised all ever used as types of the great sacrifice of the Son of God. If you ask. "How shall I know?" the answer is, "Behold the Lamb of God."
See the love of God in the gift of His dear Son and believe Rom. viii, 32. 12-16. The shadow of coming events casts itself upon him, and the Lord tells him of the coming centuries, of a great bondage and a great deliverance at an appointed time. And so it came to pass. He declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isa. xlvi, 10). Compare Ex. xii, 40, 41. and note how all came to pass just as the Lord said. See also I Kings xii, 2, and II Kings xxiii, 10. 17, as an illustration of the literal and exact fulfillment of prophecy. Neither Abram nor his seed could inherit the land just then because the iniquity of the inhabitants was not yet full. One reason why our Lord does not come and judge the nations is because their iniquity has not yet come to head. There is a proper time to lance a boil. Our Lord will not be too late in attending to the gathering. 17. The smoking furnace and the burning lamp describe the way of the people of God as they journey to the kingdom. There will be the furnace, but His word will prove an unfailing lamp. In the world we shall have tribulation. We must through much tribulation enter the kingdom, but we need not be troubled (John siv, 1. 27 .xvi, 33 Acts xiv, 22
Math. xxiv. 0), for nothing c-au come to us that will uot prove to be the best for ns in the light of the glory, and llis presence will always sustain us (Rom. viii, 28 Isa. xliii. 1. 2). 18-21. Here we have for the first time the boundaries of the land well defined, not simply what we know as Canaan, but from Egypt to the Euphrates, an abundant, possession for all Israel when they shall have returned to their own land from all the nations where they are now scattered, for they are to dwell in their land, a united people under one King, never to be scattered or pulled up out of It any more (Ezek. xxxvii, 21, 22 Zeph. Hi, 19. 20: Amos ix, 14, 15). He will yet perform the truth to Jacob and the mercy to Abraham which He has sworn from tbp days of ohl (Mie. vii, 20). May we be fully persuaded that what God has promised He is able to perform and. fearing no evil, walk humbly with Him ia quietness and in confidence.

TEACHERS' WAGES.
bomc Difficult Complications Caused By the New Law.
Township trustees and school officers are confronted with a situation this year that is hard to meet satisfactorily. A law passed by the last legislature req tires them to pay all teachers a minimum price for- wages which is based on the average per cent, for scholarship -and success as snown by their license to teach. Each teacher is entitled to an amount per day, equal to 2£ timesihis average per cent. The effect of this law is to greatly increase the amount paid out for teachers.
Another[statute compels the trustees to have at leas]b six months school during the year.i The consequence is that none of the trustees have enough money to run six months and pay the wages required by«the new law. They will nearly all have to increase their levies for tuition fund for the coming year so as to haveenough to meet these1 new requirements.
It is claimed by many of the older teachero that the law is very unfair to them and benefits only the younger and weaker teachers.
If a teacher should make 100 per cent, and'get a three years' license, his wages would only be $2 50 per day, while one who made but 85 per cent, and a one year license would get $2 124 per day. Many of the old teachers have been getting more than they will get under the new law although they hold 3 year licenses.
