Up to this time many have neglected to pay their subscription for the coming year, although they are nearly three months past due. It costs money to publish such a paper as the Republican, —money to get the news, money to to put it iu type, money to pay for paper, etc. We do not enjoy dunning a subscriber through the paper or through the postoffice'; anymore than the subscriber enjoys receiving a dun. So if you are at all sensitive on this point, we give you this gentle hint that you may improve your opportunity and help to make the Republican. brighter and better than ever. The amount which you owe individually is not large, but the amount due from all delinquent subscricers makes quite an appreciable sum. The silver moon shines with its accustomed regularity, but just now Uncle Sam prefers the moon without the silver. Ir the Republican party is responsible for the Sherman law, it is a safe wager that Democracy will not he credited with its repeal or alteration. —Cincinnati Tribune. The tendency toward introducing a simple educational test as qualification for voting is a good one. In Michigan the law granting women the. right of voting for municipal and Ideal purposes, includes a reading and writing qualification. We need more severe tests as a qualification for voting and the ability to read and write is as simple and effective a one as can be provided. Although the illness of President Cleveland is doubtless greatly exaggerated in reports we receive, still it cannot but suggest the possibility to the country should Adlai Stevenson be advanced to the Presidency. Stevenson was not nominated with a view to his becoming President, and the country has far less confidence in him than it has tn the present occupant of the Presidential chair. The electrical exhibit at the World’s Pair is one of the most important as showing the progress made in that line in the last decade. In no branch has this advancement been greater. Its application as a motor power bids fair to solve one of the most perplexing problems of modern socialism, —how to relieve the congestion of population in piodern cities. With the introduction of rapid transit lines, workingmen can live at a distance of several miles' from their places of work an,d be carried back and forth at a minimum of expense and the smallest loss of time. Business men to whom time is truly money can make their home in the suburbs and still lose a comparatively small

amount of tivde in coming and going. The advantages of open air and sunshine can thus be secured for the home and with the introduction of these, many of the ills, physical and moral,of the crowded tenements will disappear. Many of the best minds of the country are studying question of cheap, rapid transit, and the developments of thenext few years will be amazing. Alretyly the slow mule car has been surpassed and this is a long steu foward. What will become of the horse? is a question often asked as we consider the development in the line of motor transit facilities. Many have predicted that the introduction of street car lines into our smaller cities would destroy to a considerable extent the usefulness of the horse. Just so, years ago, when steam railroads were introduced there was a cry that horses would no longer be needed, for hacks and hack-lines would be largely a thing of the past. Buj the interest in the horse and his possibilities was never as this present year. Record breaking is the order of the day. Astonishingly low records arc made to-day only to be broken to-morrow by some new candidate for popular favor. The growing passion for fast horses has reached the proportions of a national vice. And at present there is no danger of any extermination of the horse or a loss of interest in his welfare. One of the greatest victories for the Christian people of this country is the closing of the World’s Fair on Sunday. It was opened by the directors in the face of a pledge virtually made in accepting the Congressional loan; in was made in the face of protests by thousands of Christian people of all demoninations. The opening was made on the specious plea that it would prove an inestimable boon to the laboring classes. But its opening at night took most of the force from this argument, and the plain facts appears that the greed for gain was the determining motive in the decision for opening;in practic. however Sunday opening has not proved all that was anticipated. The government exhibit and many of the private exhibits remained closed,; the attendeuce was the smallest of any day of the week; the poor, toiling workingman failed to appreciate the ‘inestimable boon’ that was being offered to him. There was no thronging of the gates for admission and the Fair was run at a dead loss. This being true there was nothing for these mercenary directors to do but close the Fair on Sunday. They had not sufficiently counted on the strength of Christian influence wielded throughout the land against an open Sunday and all Christians will rejoice at the final termination of the controversy. There are many things to be regretted about the whole business. It is It is to be regretted most of all that when once the money was accepted from Congress with its conditions that the directors should have broken faith with the country. It is to be regretted that some Christian people urged a boycott because of the open Sunday, for it was a legatimate Fair six days in the week, and the boycott is opposed te the very j spirit of American institutions. It is to be regretted that Congress passed the Sunday closing clause as a religious enactment, for absolute separation of church and State is j the American idea. Yet we cannot but rejoice that Christian sentiment has so strongly asserted itself that [ the. unwilling directors were compelled to reconsider their former action and declare for a closed Sunday. It shows the world that though we are not, strictly speaking, a Christian nation, we are a nation of Christians'. BEFORE .Ttil.Y 31.

Hope, March 1, 1893. Stapp & Son, Agts. Brown county has no railroads, factories or cities, no natural gas, great waterways or fertile lands. Nature seemed to have missed the whole country when distributing her treasures throughout the land, and many good stories have been told concerning deals in Brown county real estate. But lo! It has been discovered that the precious metal lurks in tho rocks that repose on her bosom. Gold of a very fine quality has been found to exist there, and it is soon to be determined in what quantities it may be mined. It is claimed that the gold fields cover' seventy square mihs. Fortune is fickle.— Batesyille Hera’d. COLUMBUS, HOPE & QREENSBUR6 Westbound] STATIONS. j East bound 95 i m | 92 | 94 I> M I A M A M 1 P M 8 10 9 25 Oreonsbu.M?
