ter, 0., loses in him one of its most thoroughly polished and able ministers. The Ist Presbyterian Church of Rensselaer, Ind., has given a unani-mous-call to Rev. C. D. Jeffries, of Appleereek. Ohio. Mr. Jeffrie* has ■already begun in his new field of labor. In him the Presbytery of \\ ouster loses one of its most scholarly and popular ministers. The Church h'as indeed exercised great judgment in the choice of a pastor. We bespeak for him a very successful future in this most desirable location. Wooster. (>., Democrat. ,

Our youthful neighbor of the Journal quotes from the New York Sun as Democratic outhoi ity. The Sun is a political pirate, w *th no more Democracy in its make uirthan than is in the Journal. The millionaire syndicates have been forcing down wages with a view to bolster up their demands for n protedtive tariff, and inconsequence have u strike on their bonds which as assuming alarming proportions. - • • —— • - - • • •

Our republicinn neighbors, senior and junior, have from time to time paraded the declarations of Gage and other millionaire republican statesmen, to the effect 'hat “Prosperity” with a big P was advancing with a rush. The re publican press generally accepted ;hese proclamations as col lect, and insisted that the men giving them utterance wen, over and above all others capable of discerning the state of affairs. The Republican of this week copies the following :!rom an official circular of the United Mme Workers io show that that organization also iQcpgnized the fact:

“Tne signs of the times, “as pointed out bv’the press and I y testimony of men vers d in public affa rs,” are. that business is re yiving, that an upward tendency in prices of all commodities is ap parent. In tne general business revival and industrial improve» meat which ‘is earnestly proclaim ed’ we ought to share, and if wo do not attempt to share we shall ba false to ourselv s and those dependant upon us.” Talk about catching at straws! Here is a circular which announces m substance that “the signs of the times, as pointed out by the republican piess and loaders,” indicate improving conditions, we should demand a share in that prosperity, and insists that the assumptions of tlie circular are in harmony with the declarations > f the republican press and leaders.

LE ’TER FROM WYOMIM . Bomtnza, Wyo. July 18,’97 L. A. Bostwick, Dear Friend: Several days have passed since we wen “mussing"’ up there in your office., and 1 have seen quite a bit of country. Although 1 have seen a good portion of the United Htates, I never in all my travels found .a country to equid thisjone. If the deluded movers who so frequently start for the desert plains of Ne - baska and Kansas, for the barren hills of Tennessee, and the fever infested swamps of Oklahoma am’ i other southern states would change j tneir course and come here, they might find the prosperity which they seek, as well as the blessing of health. There is plenty of water foi irrigation* plenty of fertile river land, and plenty of free range for cattle and horses, where stock can live ..11 winter without other feed. L’beclimate is about' the same as that ot Colorado, a plurality of vann, sunshiny days, with but little snow in the winter. The country abounds in all the natural resources required y c vdization. The man with whom 1 am stopping, A. 11. Taylor, ;s putting up am dern name bouse at a small cost. The saw mills in the mountains fuinish lumber, great banks of mineral paint furnish plenty of that article, which is mixed with the Bonanza oil which flows from the ground m spring-i. There is plenty of gypsum to plaster the foundations and chiinnevs, and Mr. Taylor is wondering if it couldn’t be used in place of plaster for the walls. Would it be just as good as lime, if properly appled?

Write soon and excuse th s bad ink, as we have not yet found a spring of natural ink. S’ Yours Truly, J H. MARSHALL.
