The Speakers, the Subjects, the Musie, Make the Scene a Happy One—A <>«mh! (lass — Large Audience, Comfortable Evening atnd a Good Time—The llanqiiet. There have been larger crowds in Meharry had than that of last evening’s but no more orderly one ever assembled there. The immense room was crowded, but the rain prevented a jam and as a result those who did get iu the building were comfortable during the two hours’ program. There is nothing that interests the public more than a high school commencement. The
eulhirity of the Norwegians is their hardihood and sterling qualities. They owe much ot this courage to their natural surroundings, as physical conditions have much to do with the development of individual and national character. They are the deseendents of the old Vikings arid Norsemen who when Europe was degraded hy slavery were tile only free people. At present they are simple, generous, and thrifty: there is no abject poverty; serious crimes are

Fok three or four weeks our esteemed contemporary, the Democrat, has used as a plaything the asseition that this paper, in speak tng of a convention in 1892. relerred to the third party people as “crazy prohibitionists” and used “other names you would look for in vain on Sunday school cards,” etc. We hate todeprive our amusing neighbor of its plaything, but would, in the interests of truth, admonish it that it is either misleading or is being energetically misled, for if it will consult our tiles it will find no such language on record in speaking of that secret conference, for it was no convention. It will find instead a ten line news note, in which we published the names of the ticket, without comment. The above statements of the Democrat would have been referred to before, hut knowing the propensity of that paper, which is not unlike certain individuals, to hang itself if given enough rope, we thought it best to let it rattle around a while in its uncertainty. It is all at sea on resolution matters, having lost two good ones, and it will not make capital by misrepresenting the Banner Times. If it will keep a file of this paper and reproduce the truth as it appears weekly in these columns, such as republican reso lutsons, we believe it will accomplish something for which its readers will thank it.

To arms! is tiie cry all along tiie line, and the First Indiana regi ment will march against the Daviess county miners. Capt. Fee was at Terre Haute last night when the governor was in telegraphic communication with Sheriff Leming, of Daviess county. The grave situation in the mining regions makes state troops’ action necessary, and the six hundred desperate miners cannot be subdued without a regiment is placed in the field, and as the regiment goes so goes Company I. The local authorities in Daviess county will make a demand on the strikers to desist in stopping trains, which the dispatches in our news columns say will be laughed at by the miners. Then will come the cull for troops. Company I men should march down to' the tiain, in case they are called, with a firm military tread. These little calls are one of the unpleasantnes

the law of one being. All must lie ae live in one way or another, as a matter | of happiness. Labor is an honor and a glory. All that is great in man comes through work, and civilization is its | product. Idleness is a curse. Tiie human hotly like a mighty clock, is eonstMiitly moving. If one organ sutlers injury the mechanism is impaired. The exercised brain increases in capacity and power. The mind never becomes great and cultured unless it comes in contact w ith opposition. Kept in activity it is given greater activity by opposing force Unexercised minds become weak. The body may shirk labor hut the brain is not idle; if it does not grow wheat it will grow tares. “All of us are builders—builders for time and eternity.” God reveals tin* heavenly pattern of our life—our work -to each of us. The earth has seen the glorious Person of its Creator and Savior. This divine Personage embodies all that is grandest and noblest in achievement in human life. He was, He is, the perfect Pattern, after which we should all model our life.
