We are not troubled by bicyclers riding bn them. They invariably prefer the streets.Congress has been called in extra session to meet August 7th. Cleveland has heeded the almost unanimous demand from the country that something be done,to improve the financial conditions. Since the advent of the Cleveland administration we have fif’teen-cent wool, fifty-threa-oent wheat, a fifty-two-cent dollar, the closing of banks and numerous business failures. Hard,stubborn facts. “I mvow that in the end, Truth will conquer,” were the words of John Wycliffe after he-was driven from Oxford and while living in retirement at Lutterworth. They are as true today as when penned by this noble defender of truth. Union Sunday evening meetings are a desirable change for those hot sum cr in months. The afford a measure of r *st to the ministers and by uniting! the congregations will doubtless fill any of our churches. Let no one remain at home because the meeting does not happen to be at your clrurch. Mai <e the singing full of life and i energy, the sermons short and pointed, and much good can result from these meetings. DeTocqiievh.t.e was much impressed with the restlessness,the eager race for the dollar which is so characteristic of America. Tie says: A man builds a house to spend his latter years in. and he sells it before the roof is on; lie plants a garden, and leaves it just as the trees are coming into bearing; he brings a held into 'tillage, anrl leaves other men to gather the crops; lie erphraces a nrofession and gives H up; he settles. in a place whise.h he soon afterward leaves, to carry Ids changeble lodgings elsewhere. * * * Death at length overtakes him, but i; is before he is weary of his bootless of that complete felicity which is forever on the wing. But it is this very restlessness that has produced the marvelous development of our resources. We can raise wheat enough to feed the

world. We can produce enough cotton to clothe it. We have almost as many miles of railroad and telegraph as all the other countries of the world together. In older countries, especially where feudal ideas still prevail, each class is easily satisfied with the conditions under which it is born. The serf is content to b'e a serf. But not so here. Every man however humble is striving to better ids condition. And, in this effort on the part of all, our resources have boon marvelously developed. Last Friday night, Mrs. Miller retired from her position as postmistress hero. To say she has given general satisfaction is only to voice the sentiment of our citizens without regard to party. Seldom do patrons have so little cause for complaint as during tho last four-years. The new postmaster must look sharp it he mainlands the high state of efficiency to which the service here has been brought by ,thc retiring postmistress assisted by her son, E. E. Miller.

W hat of the 110 years sincp the close of the Revolutionary war? The bare figures speak more than volumes for the rapidty of our growth in material resources. We clip the following: At the first estimate after the Revolution .he wealth of the United States was set at $600000,000; it is now about $60,000,060000—an increase of about a hundredfold. The population nine years after the fighting ceased (1700) was 3,029,214; this year it is certainly 66,000,000—an increase of nearly seventeen fold. 'Thus the jvealth per capita is five or six times as great as in 1790. Still more gratifying figures might be presented as to manufactures and commerce, but these are, after all. the indices of a material growth. What of the mind and soul, the social cohesion and moral evolution? In those lines the estimate cannot bo made so exact, but the advance has certainly been great. Immigration alone keeps down the percentage in education. By the multiplication of colleges and perfection of school systems the native population has steadily and rapidly advanced. The growth of churches and societies for moral growth is equally encouraging. FOR WIR. HARRISON !N ’96 Indiana Republicans have settled down to the conviction that General Harrison will be nominated for President again in 1896. Many of the friends of the ex-President throughout the country are now making an open campaign for hifh. The exPresident’s correspondence the last two months has been heavier even than it was when he was candidate for the Presidency five years ago. For the last jfew weeks it has been so heavy that Private Secretary Tibbott has not been able to keep up with it. It .was the arrangement for him to accompany the ex-President east,but at the last moment it was found that there wore so many lettei’s unanswered that he could not get away on the same train with the General, lie will remain here several days to catch up with the correspondence and will then join ex-President at Cape May. It is said that the letters for the ex-President come from all parts of the Union, are from .the leading Republicans, and that a groat many of them have something to say about the national campaign of 1896. Whatever is done here toward opening the way for the candidacy of the ex-President in 1896 is done quietly. It is taken for granted by the rank and file of the party thaT now John C. New is, at home he will devote his leisure hours to looking after the rough edge's of tha’96 boom for his chief. The friends of the exPresident. it is said will not be surprised if the National G. A. R. Encampment results in a boom of coni siderable proportions for General , Harrison. It is the intention of the General to entertain during the week of the encampment several of - the gentlemen who were in his Cabinet, end it is expected that the group will he one of the centers of attraction for the veterans. —Indianapolis News. i
