We will guarantee that many New Yorkers will read less from the Bible than formerly, as the little text was proVably all they ever read.

THE acquital of Thos. McDonald,of fc.ansas, who without provocation, shot and killed Thos. Patton on the ground that he was hypnotized, is certainly unique. Anderson Gray whom he accused of hypnotizing him has been tried, found guilty of the murder and sentenced to be hanged. This looks like it will be dangerous for persons to usa hypontic influence. It is proper and right however to nip hypnotism for evil purposes in the bud. The chances are that it would be used most for evil than for good.

"EVERY person has two educations one which he receives from others, and one more important which he gives to himself."—Gibbon.

That is indeed a true expression, but few people realize the importance of the part they are to fulfill in their own education. It is one that should begin early in life and kept up continuously. The surest way to get the most out of life is by securing the best possible education, and then living up to a level of one's knowledge. Not necessarily a knowledge of books, but a knowledge of men and of nature, and above all a knowledge of one's self. The wisest of all sayings of the wise men of Greece was "Know Thyself," and is as true to-day as when chosen to put over the door of the Academy at Athens before th® Christian era.

PRESIDENT Cleveland has written a letter to the Chicago business men in which he regrets his inability to be present at a money

convention

which is to be held

there. The President stands out fairly Mid squarely for the gold standard as •gainst bimetalism. He is in favor of the gold bug policy by which the wealth of the bond holders, the stock and security holders of this country and Europe will bi doubled while the price of labor and the products of labor will be cut in two. Cleveland however is standing by the friends who made him rich. In 1885 he went in the Presidency a poor man aud he is now a millionaire. It is a well known fac that the presidents live up about all of their salary. Where then did Cleveland get his million. No doubt his bond holding gold bug friends Whitney and Benedict could tell.

THERE is a general complaint around over Indiana that the insurance companes are charging toa high rates. They have the Underwriters Association which meets and fixes the rates to be charged on both co.iamsrcial and farm property. These rates not only high but in uwy cit"? •iWaTit, Xiu vcuipau-

1892 the average amount of corn consumed in this country was 30.33 bushels for each person, work was plenty and the people ate an abundance of meat. In 1893 after the Cleveland panic struck the country there was but 23.66 bushels consumed per capita. There was little work and less meat. Prices may be cheaper, but where is the money for the •working man to buy with?

THE New York Mail and Express, which, under the charge of the late Eliot F. Shepherd, always had a bible text at the head of its columns each day, continued that practice under his executors until last Friday, when it was discontinued. The last text was: "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble: and he knoweth them that trust in Him."

ies sometimes claim they are doing business in this State at a loss that expenses are exceeding the income, and that the charges are absolutely the lowest possible. Such talk is nonesense, even if it does come from the high salaried, smooth agents of the companies. These companies have for offices the most magnificent buildings in the world, costing^ hundreds of thousands of dollars. Their officers are paid princely salaries, some surpassing even that of the President of the United States, and all the officers of the large companies are paid higher salaries than the Judges of the U. S. Supreme Court, than Senators and Congressmen, than Governors and other State officers. So the plea can not be offered that it takes the high salaries to get the talent run the business. The fact is the companies make so much money by charging their high rates they can easily afford the big buildings, the big salaries, and the enormous surplus they are piling up. Several companies that could be mentioned, after all their enormous expenditures, have a surplus that excelled the capital of all the National banks in Indiana. How could they heap up such an enormous amount of money if they did not over-charge? To remedy the evil Home Mutual companies have been organized and their charges are much less. These mutual companies have been organized by farmers, but there is now talk of organizing these mutual companes in towns and cities. They will be organized, too, unless the insurance companies are more reasonable in their charges. Greenfield needs and should have a very much lower re-rating at once. In the mutual companies the officers are only paid a nominal salary no expensive buildings are built and BO big surplus piled up. Practically the only charges are for actual losses, and therefore the cost is very much lighter.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 18,1895.

A MAGNIFICENT REPAST

SPKEAl) BY THE PUPILS OF ROOM 4 AT McCOKDSVIIXE SATURDAY.

Prof. Jay is Completely and Pleasantly Surprised By the Elegant Dinner Prepared for the Institute By

The Good Ladies of McCordsville.

Saturday April 6th 1895 will long be remembered by the teachers of Yernon township especially by Prof. Jay of the McCordsville schools. To show the appreciation of his services (and knowing that his labors with them will soon cease) the pupils of Mr. Jay's room secretly planned a surprise on him in the form of a magnificent dinner of good things. When we say "good things," we mean any and everything that could be thought of in the pastry line. We wish to say that the good ladies of MfcCorclsville know how to get up a good dinuer if any one does. When the noon hour arrived Miss Tillie Craig made her appearance in the institute room announcing that the teachers should form in line and proceed to the lower room where the feast was in waiting for them. It was a complete surprise to most of the teachers and an overwhelming surprise to Mr. Jay. Mr. Quitman Jackson of Greenfield, was let into the secret and of course was present. It seems that Mr. Jackson can scent the good dinner prepared for the institutes of Vernon Township for he is always present and to say he does justice to them wouldn't half tell it. Some fears were entertained for Mr. Jackson's and Mr. Sample's physical health to see with what zeal and energy they helped themselves to the good things but Dr. J. D. Cory soon appeared on the scene when all fears vanished like "The Winters' Sun before the Summer's Sun." What higher eulogy could be manifested in honor of Prof. Jay than the above. Prejudice pales into insignificance before the welcome rays of esteem and good will manifested in the above event. When Mr. Jay's labors cease at McCordsville the people will find that his place will be hard to fill. The Trustees of Fortville will find that they have made no mistake in selecting him for our schools here. Long may his light shine to light the American youth to a higher plane of,usefulness, is the sincere wish of the editor.—Fortville Sun. [The editor of the REPUBLICAN very heartily concurs it the above

The ltocky Mountains.

Along the line of the Northern Pacific Iiailroud abound in large game. Moose, deer, bear, elk, montain lions, etc., can yet be found there. The true sportsman is williDg to go there for them.

Agent, St. Paul, Minn. 15tf

Irrigation Farm Ins.

This is simply another name for easy farming. Expending a given amount of labor on a small area gives large craps as the result. It is almost play farming, Indeed in many cas?s a man's children attended to the irrigating for him. They have their play and it is really work for the father. -There is something attractive iu the idea. Then too it means absolute^independence

from rain and drought. Rain does not drown out crops one year and the drought dry «hem up tne next. There is a fascination in guiding the little rivulets of wa'er over the small farm, that each spot receives the requisite amount of moisture. One spot must not receive too much nor another too little. One of the strong points of irrigation is that it produces concentration of labor on a limited area and therefore secures thorough cultivation of the ground.

Send four cei:ts in stamps to CHAS. S. Fee, Gen'l Pass. Agent, Northern Railroad, St. Paul Minn., and he wil send yu a pamphlet ou Irrigntion.
