LETT2RS FROM TOE PEOPLE.

An Appeal to "lYorkingroen. Mr. A. B. Dilworth. of Kokomo. a member of the Stats executive board K. of L., and secretary, ha written the following letter for publication: To the Editor of t Indianapolis Journal: I ani very solicitous about the election of Mr. Harrison. I in fully persuaded that his elevtion, ancrg thicjrs that oupht to be done, is the most Important Eiing possible! It embodies preater thiccs than v.ere political ascendency. Its promises sre toward the highest type of Arnericaa manhood and American homes; the stability of things done in the past and the bet ter hopes for the future. - There are two great parties enlisting the suffrages of the Americas people; a Tote to any other would be to invite the sucecss of the worst of these two. Now let me not appear invidious, but as an ordinary citizen sincerely, as honestly, as I am to myself or could be. I have a deep interest in the future of this country and this people. As a Republican I respect the opinions of all, for nothing will satisfy me . but ?il A. A. . fl - " poaiuTe, certain iruta. io mrte primary principles of the Democratic party are elsfery, fitate rights and free trade. Tbe three fundamental principles of Republicanism are liberty. freedom ani protection to all,' colon sod internal improvements. These fa eta are uadia puted. The Democrats bsve lost slavery and State rifbts, and have fur many years been educating themselves until they were really glad of it Jsot now, three and cce-half years of supremacy to maoy of the Southern brigadiers have embittered that people, and with free trade at their head, their success again could put this conn try back twenty years in a day. It is worse than folly to topposs the Democratic party have departed from their old landmarks (they make no such pretensions); or to suppose they are now 7)eculiarly fitted to eovern the Nation they latey would have destroyed. I bays often thought tnat the best way to treat the Democratic party, that the beat way to treat the Republicans, that the best way to treat any party, would le to giro tiieza a taste of about fifteen years of their own . legislation. To do tbie, it would be necessary for the Democrats to have the country for their own, wito no Republican men, women or children in it. Then the ReDublicans should have exclusive control to try ReDoblican ruleywith no Democrats in it. Bat this is impossible, and, if it were possible, it YEould hardly be sufficient, for in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus we read: "They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them; for 1 tell you if they will not hear them they would not be nursnaded, thouch one rose from the dead." Bat, again, this would be unjust, for it is evident that about five helpless womn and children, or disinterested men, would suffer a penalty for every vote piven. whether it be good or bad. Then it is evident arain that the parties beinar diametrically opposite one would be better than the other, at least for a time. I can conceive the Democratic party, especially where climatic influences favored it, strictly an agricultural people no tiebd to cet an education! no need to learn a trade. The dependent!, or hired bands, would obey the proprietor's imperial will, and the subjects wonld be vicious, immoral and depraved. Such a nation would forget God. On the other hand, I can see the Republican psrty make our country the best in the eivilized world. Our mechajics would be the most skilled, oar education the most thorongh and practical, and our artists would go to the furthest limit of the Imagination. I can conceive danger in this, also. The country would be rich aod haughty, and liable, at some time, to be brolcsa down by internal dissensions. So we see dancer all around. It seems to be a law of necessity that there should be parties o discuss both sides of every question of great national import. It tends to maintain an equilibrium in our legislation, and preserve ns in a state most favorable to rapid and healthy arrow tb. Yet it is jo.3t as evident that one party is better than the other. Now, the question is, which one? Which party, guided by its achieve znents in the past and its promise for the futnre, can ue trust the interests of this great Nation to at this time? There is one tronble about us Americans. We are biased, prejudiced, and too apt to be warped by the influences under which we were born. This wonld be all right if we were living in England, where a man's decisions would simply be a policy ot choice, not hoping eveu that his toco will influence any chance for the belter, either in his generation or those to come. Or, it would be all right if our country was like the. South, .wanted their Confederacy to bo, only a few years since, which eonditicn once established they expected it to remain forever. That ranch granted. ' Now i . im M ir.Vt a way in Inn Yv j. V.t m b 1 mil tiu, cicu iu iuis uiuu, iu ko wiu Democrat or a Republican, bnt to continue to be sueh is not riebt, in a country where one vote will govern nearly ten people and where its effect will strike them in a single day. I say again it is a positive crime if he voted toe way be was born. A man ought to consider it a sacred privilege to vote where he can have so much influence, where his voice is so potent. Every man oneht to study thorouehly every question, and in justice no man should vote who would not so do The issue before ns is decided. President Cleveland announced it to the world in his message of December, 1887, in which he said: "Our tariff laws are the vicious, inequitable acd illogical source of unnecessary taxation, and ought to be at once revised and amended." This is as plain as speech can make it, and for this Mr. Cleveland was complimented by the papers of all Eosland, as "deserving every credit, at all events, for the courage and candor with which he initiated a free-trade campaign." Again, be said, "The prices of goods made in this country are enhanced to nearly or quite the same price which the duty adds to the imported articles." This is a fallacy, so stamped on the face of it, that it ought not receive a passing notice. And yet it is the whole doctrine by which the Democratic party hopes to win. Every laboring man should resist such an appeal as from ignorance, prejudice or desien. Its motives are intended only to deceive. The cost of living in the United States is substantially the same as it is in England, and the wages nre from 03 to 200 per cent, better. There are vtry few articles now used in the United States that eoit as much as tbev did under England's monopoly between IScO and 1SG0, when they were admitted duty free, while there are articles that eoit a variable, even to a small part of what they did then, which represent to this country, during the period of protection, the products of thousands of millions of dollars. Then it it were true that we ray the added ccst ef the tariff, it is doubly offset by the increased wages and the added amount of work we have to do. Our money. is kept at come, which is of tbo greatest value. So, over and over again, is that difference made np in the development of onr country, from employed capital, and from educated hands. The Democratic policy, as advocated by Mr. Cleveland, proposes to remedy evils by reducing the duty on foreign goods. Only 5 per cent, so says Mr. Mills; yet it is sufficient to stay our industries and paralyze the rising developments of the South and West. They favor a tariff for revenue only. That is, they insist that duties shall be levied on that elass of goods not produced in the United States, such as tea, coffee, etc When this is done, then Mr. Cleveland is right every cent of the duty betag paid by the consumer. But, added to that, they propose to lower the surplus by reducing the revenue to purely a re tenue basis. The method they rropoe, however, will produce exactly the opposite results., It has been demonstrated timo and acain in this country, that the instant a tariff becomes non-protective, that instant revenues will Increase by the increase of importations, and that every lowering of the tariff will prodnce a corresponding increase in revenue, until ultimately free trade wiil inevitably ensue. It has but the one object, it can have'but cne effectthat of impoverishing onr Lome producer itnd enriching the foreign rival. The Republican policy is to lower the tariff by preserving its protective features. If sufficient reduction cannot be made on the competing products, the tes will be lessened on tess, coffees, medicines, etc They propose to proTide pensions for soldiers, and with the surplus rtluce the rational debt. Such taxation is not We must not be too hostile to capital. The povrer that can legislate against the monopolies of Europe can certainly affect any needed regulation of our owe. We must have eapital. It Is cot the sense of labor organizations to be opposed to capitaL They should march side by ids. The first object ef their existence is asaoeiatioa and co-operation, so that the weaker may receive a guardian care and all be elevated togethsr. We should not be deeoyed into believing? Mr. Cleveland a friend of labor because ef any sympathy he may have shown' to str'rkers. This only shows he is human. But if we look through the veil to the policy he advocates, we will see a condition in which it wonld be impossible for organizatioca to exist. This country owes all its greatness to one thing, sicgle and alone, above all others protection. It has kept all our work at home. It has made our market the belt on the clote. it has educated our own people in every branch, of art and department of science equal to the best in the world whish education alone is great trealth. Fellow-workmen and friends, we hare before s a magnificent opportunity, and vrt have a candidate who does not need the excitement of "C to laspixe bixa to do a aoblt thing; bus

calm, consistent at all times, be favors a policy, and demoni traiejj it with his llfe by which every American can have a home nearest like heaven. . A. 13. DlLWOBTU. KoiOMO, Ind., Oct. 22. Why the Irish Are for Harrison. To the Editor of. the Indianapolis Jonrnah The land of ny birth had a protective tariff from to lf;00. In his repeal retition of 1843, Daniel O'Conneil says of that period: 'Manufactures were f jster.vl and rewarded, commerce was increased -tnd extended, the value ot lauds and houses mere than doubled, the rents were promptly paid. All classes of the community shared ia the general welfare, and looked forvrard to the future with the pleasing hope of bringing np their children to still better times and greater prosperity. In 1800 the industries of Ireland were deprived of protection. O'Conneil rives the result

in these exact words: "It rree trade destroyed all the Irish industries that flourished at the union; it nearly annihilated all commerce; it has made the exports or Ireland consist of provisions and cattle, and her imDorts of goods manufactured for her by foreigners; it baa covered the land with poverty, misery and destitution: it (free trade! has produced the astounding spectacle of 2,383.000 panners, being one-third of the entire population or the most fruitful nation oc the elobe." This declaration was signed by 5,000,000 of Irishmen. It is either true or it is a lie. If it is true, the Irish-American who would impose English free trade upon America ought to imi tate the ostnob by lading his head in the dust. To-day every true Irishman in Ireland is outspoken for Harrison, and opposed to English free trade: bnt here in America many Irishmen who saw their kith and kindred starved to death by England's pet system are trying to impose that same infernal scheme upon their adopted country. The lion. Sirs. Norton, Ireland's child of song, has told bow. under English free trade. the wild dog and the vulture keen tugged at the limb and tore the faee of the starved child of the Irish race. Anthony Marmion'a History of the Alaratime Ports of Ireland shows that from the adoption of Cobden free trade, in 1S1G to 1851, 200.000 Irish farmers were evicted: 2 0,000 Irish families were broken np, and 2SO.00O Irish homes destroyed. This was the grand result of this infernal Enplisn. free trade in Ireland. Let any Irishmen read "Ireland, Her Ills and Their Remedy," by Michael T. Sadler, atd see the ills and the evils of free trade and cheap prices. Let any American take the Congressioua'. Globe and learn that, from 1S24 to 1833 the workingmen or America were the most prosperous ana contented people on the fact of the earth. But, from 1837 to 1842, two-thirds of the workingmen of the Northern cities were fed at public ioap-bouies. In 1839 the society for relieving the poor of 2ew York published its annual report showing that in twenty years of low tariff pauperism increased 703 per cent., while the population only increased CO per cent. These are facts susceptible of proof, and, with these facts before them, is it not pitiful to see Irish-Americans supporting an English free-trade partyhere in America? Why, in the name of common sense, do we not look facts in the face and vote as we fought? Streams of Ireland's best blood have been shed for the independence of America, yet we go to the polls and nullify our glorious acts on the fields of elanghtsr. This must hod; and now is the time to stop it J. J. Sharkey. liSAZiii, Ind., Oct. 22. A Fair Mate for Gould. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal I was present at a Republican meeting last week, where a Democratic oQce-holder boasted that he had an affidavit which he proposed to read to the audience, if the presiding officer dared to let him. The afldavit was, as he and bis friends boldly declsred, that General Harrison had bucked and gagged and cut off the tongue of a man in his regiment. He was told by all means to produce the document, as there was a member of that regiment present to testify to its truth or falsity. Of course, .this paper was not forthcoming, bnt the next day, when the boaster had to exhibit one, or make a square back-down, a second and revised odition was handed over, with the tongue ampctation expunged, for he knew that any member of the Seventieth could make that part appear ridiculous to the most gullible people. Unfortunately, however, for the poor perjurer, who has allowed himself to be victimized by designed men though the statement is made in as general terms as passible General Harrison is put in command of the regiment when he was not, and in a State where he was not, and the regiment in a spot where it never was. Those who have charge of this sickening affair were invited to eome to Indianapolis, where there are reports and diaries, and letters from which correct dates, localities, etc, can be obtained, and then prepare a third edition, still further revised and improved. A gentleman who had an extended acquaintance with the different organizations of the army remarked to me that he never knew a regiment that was any length of time in the service in which men were not bucked and gsgjed. My reply was that while a few men in the Seventieth Indiana committed deeds, the penalty for which was death, not one, so far as 1 know, was ever bucked and gagged. One would not wander far from the truth if be were to say that a Union regiment had 905 of the best men in the world, acd five of the worst, and that these five bad to be restrained by the commander from imposing npon their comrades. General Harrison's discipline was simply this: He would not let bad oGicers or bad soldiers shirk duty or maltreat good men. Samuel Mekrill. Democratic Indorsement of Harrison. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal! I have just received a letter from a Democrat of national repntaticn, and one who stands high in the councils of the Democratic managers, from which I make the following extract relative to Gen. Harrison: "There is no question but what you have a strong candidate for Presidenta man highly esteemed by the intelligent, virtuous people of the Nation, and I believe he would give the country an able, honest and economical administration." This indorsement seems to cover the ground, and while my friend does not, and could not, apply it to Cleveland, still he supports him because of bis free-trade message. The State where he lives has no man ufactories, and does not desire to keep np the standard of wages in the North, but would rather purchase her sopplies in England than of Northern manufacturers. Now, if it is true, as my friend declares, that Gen. Harrison is highly esteemed by the intelligent and Tirtuous people of the Nation, may we not reasonably expect this class ot people to manifest their "esteem" by their suffrages in the approaching election? The Democratic managers will be surprised when the votes are counted and they see how much onr candidate's majority has been increased by the votes of this class o'f people to whom my correspondent . refers, and some Republicans may share in that surprise. The indications at this time point to but-one result in Indiana, which is the complete suecess of the national and State ticket. It is not believed that even fraud acd illegal methods can prevail this time, because of the vigilance everywhere displayed by the Republicans. New Castle, Oct. 22. M. L. Bundt. air. Low is Js'ot a Democrat. To the Editor of tli lndiananolis Jonrnsu The Indianapolis Sentinel and the Cincinnati Enquirer have both announced 1 had come out for Cleveland, bnt I have not denied it for tbe reason that the Democrats have claimed that the Samuel Low named was another person, who lived in the northern part of the county. I have recently learned that the other Samuel Low is as good a Republican as 1 am. I was a Whig in 1S10, bnt lacked cne year of being old enough to vote. 1 have been a Republican ever since the birth of the party. I do not forget the course of the Democratic party on the slaTe Question, the. actions cf their stay-at-home leaders durine the war, how they met in secret to defeat the draft and resist in every poesibls way the work of the recraiticg officers. Nor have I forgotton 4hat their national convention in 1SG4 declared the war a failure and demanded tn armstice with the rebels. When I can forest these facts of history and fail to remember wbat the Republican party has accomplished for the country since its birth, then it will be time for the Democrats to say that I have chanced mv politics. Until then I will be found voting a Renublican ticket straight from toD to bottom. Newtowx, Ind., Oct. '22. Samvzl. Low. The Democratic "Drummers. To th Editor of tbe Indianapolis J our as The Sentinel, in its account of the commercial travelers' rally of Saturday last, referred to the men who participated as "drummers who do not want Democratic trade." This was) of course, a suggestion to the Democratic merchants to withhold their trade from Republicans who exercise their undeniable right to express their political preferences in a legitimate way. The Sentinel, in the same account, stated that the names of two hundred Democratic commercial travelers of Indianapolis wonld shortly be pub lisbed. Will this be a list of gentlemen who wish to be nut on record as not wanting Republican trade! Some of us wonld "like to know, job knew Uur.

AFFAIRS OF ME RAILWAYS.

Death of Edward Gallup, of the Iike Shore. The announcement yesterday afternocn, by telegraph, of the death of Edward Gallup, assistant general manager of the Lake Shore road, was received with sorrow ia railroad circles hero. 3Ir. Gallup began life on the Ohio & Mississippi road io 1869, as passenger agent of the road at Cincinnati On Oct. 1. 1872, he accepted the position of general aeent of the passenger department of tne Kankakee road, where he remained until 1873, when be was appointed joint passenger agent of the C. L, St. I & C. and the P., G Ss St. L., at Chicago. Later in that year he went on to tbe Boston & Albany road as general passenger acent, and in 1852 he vas appointed nssistant superittendent of the road, remaining there until 18S5, when he accepted his late position on the Lake Shore. The Bee-line inspection party, which consists of the oGeers and directors of tbe road, yesterday, on learning of the death of Mr. Gallup, unanimously passed the following resolutions while on the tram: Whereas, We have learned with nnfeigned sorrow of the sudden and sad death of Mr. E. Gallup, a"itnt general manager of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway, which occurred at Cleveland, O., last night. Kesolved, That as an official of the preat railway system with which our own is so closely identified in its business relation. Mr. Gallup possessed onr confidenee and esteem in a high degree, not only for his able and thorough business qualifications, but also for his uniform kindness and courtesy on su c evasions, and wo pay onr mournful tribute to hi worth and memory. He has left a grand example of dignity , courtesy and honor, and his tame will long live in the hearts of bis friends and co-laborers. Kesolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, to whom our warmest sympathy is expressed. O. W. Beach, Chairman. Personal. Local and State Notes. Last week the Illinois Central Railroad Cornpan v placed au order for 500 box cars with Wells, French & Co. J. II. Barrett. -formerly with the C, H. & D., has been appointed superintendent of transportation on the Erie road. President Hammond, of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western Toad, has paid all but a few small udadjusted claims against tbe receiver. With the taking effect of the wintertime-table the Bee-liue will put on local sleeping coaches, to run nightly each way between Indiacapoili and St. Louis. The Litchfield, III, car-works have just shipped to the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore Railroad Company five passenger coaches ef superior build. . The more to question the validity of two underlying mortgages of the Wabash. St. Louis & Pacific is said to have caused considerable flutter among tho holders of those bonds. East-bound rates, except on grain and dressed meats, are np to wioter tariff. Provisions and kindred articles are advanced on a basis of 25 to 30 cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New York. Several monster freight engines, built at the Cooke locomotive-works, have passed West in tbe last day or two, over the Belt road. These engines are consigned to the Southern PaciSo road The old Monarch sleeping-cars, which were formerly run between Indianapolis and Evansville, are now run cn the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland road between Sandusky and Cincinnati. President Ingalls, of the Chesapeake & Ohio, has ordered that the new box ears, which are to be built for this road, shall be equipped with the Wagner car outside door and the Van Winkle grain door. The road-bed of the Nickel-plate through Indiana is said to be in as good condition as that of any cf tbe trnnk lines. Within the last two years extensive improvements have been made to the property. Jacob Sprague, who died last week near Boston, was for twenty years general passenger agent of the Old Colony road, and had been on tbe road since 1854. At the time of his death he held the position of auditor of the passenger department. It is understood that the purchasing committee has arranged to buy the Wabash, St Louis & Pacific road at the corning foreclosure sale, and that tho divisions east and west of tbe Mississippi river are to be nnited after the confirmation of the sale. G. E. Jente has been appointed train dispatcher and car distributor of the Indiana Midland road. Commencing with Sunday next, this company will pot on regular- Sunday trains to run in connection with those of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road. . : Complaint is again heard that the cars ot Northern roads are being held on Southern roads to enable them to handle their local business, and that it will sooa be as difficult to set cars to load for Southern points as it is to secure them to load for New Eu!and. In passenger circles, by common consent, it is admitted that rates in all directions have been better maintained in the last ten days than in any like period in tbe past five years, and as a result tbe receipts of the outside ticket offices are footing up more satisfactorily. General Manager Green, of the C, L, St. L. & C is quoted as saying that the company would erect its new shops at Indianaoolis next year, Lnd that they would bs so much superior to those first projected Indianapolis people will be glad the improvement was delayed. Within the last ninety days the Indianapolis & St. Lonis company has replaced ten miles cf its light track in tbe main line with a seven-ty-pound-to-the-yard rail. The light rails taken np have been used chiefly in lengthening sidetracks, until this portion ot the Bee-line is one of the best side-switched roads in the West. Last week the Terre Haute car-works shipped an installment of box cars to the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago road. This is a road 104 miles in length, running from Charleston, S. CL, to Rock Hill, with another division, 44 miles in length, extending from Blacks to Rutherford. Another division, extending from Rock Hill to Blacks, is to be opened in a few days. The Bee-line inspection party reached liere last evening and will go over tbe Indianapolis & St. Louis road to-day. All the officers of the road, President Layne excepted, are in the party, and the venerable directors, Gen. Jamts Barnett, Col. S. Bliss, Hon. Amos Townsend, and E. S. Flint, who for many yeara was general superintendent of the Bee-line, also accompany tbe party. The report that the Grand Trunk road is to gather in the Toledo, St. Lonis & Kansas City road, is denied cn the best of authority. ExPresident Quieley, who represents the financial department of the T., St L & K. C, is now in Europe, aod has scc:eecled in negotiating part of the bonds issned to complete the work of converting it into a standard gauge line, and expects to place the entire issue and reach home by Nov. 4. Engine io. 53 on the Ohio & Mississippi road, which is altractinc bo much attention as a fast runner with heavy trains, is an old engine rebuilt at the company's shops, in Viocennes. at a cost of only $4,490. Superintendent Bent Bays that this engine bandies their night passenger trains, with ten or twelve cars, four of them eleepine-coachea, with perfect ease on a division 190 miles long, passing over it in six hours. Many of the grades are 50 to CO feet to the mile, and curves 4 to C decrees. Since March 1 the construction trains on the Cincinnati. Indianapolis, St. Louis & Chicago road, working on the eastern division, have tafcen out over 1,000 car-loads of dirt, the larger portion of which bes been used in raising what is known as the Lawrenceburg levee and raising the road-bed of tbe road between North Bend and Troutman. The roai-bed for sixteen miles out from Cincinnati is now graded and graveled for a double track, and eight miles of the double track is down. HOW CONFIDENCE WAS DESTROYED. A Paymaster's Belief in the Security of Bis Safe Tpset by an Export in Locke. They were talking about burglar-proof safes in the Lincoln League rooms yesteMay, when W. H. Smith said: "That puts me in mind of an incident which occurred during the war. Colonel Dan McClure was arpy paymaster, with his headquarters here in Indianapolis. He, of course, handled large sums of money and had a big safe in his office with a combination :ock on it Ha felt perfectly confident that it was burglar proof. I was in his ofuce one day when a big-headed, queer looking man came in acd introduced himself as a salesman of time-lock to be placed in safes. He said it would be impossible for any one to open them until the time for which they were set should expire. The Colonel looked at his sample, and told him that he didn't need anything of the kind, that his cafe was burglar proof, and that there wis never over five hours at a time that someone was cot io the office, and be defied anyone to open it inside of that time. Well,1 said the strancer, '111 tell you what I will do. I will put 91,000 in tbe safe, and yon may lock it to any combination yon desire, and if I don't opon it in three hours without injuring tho lock I will co 2 about y buskiew, and yea

may have the money, aod if I do open it inside of three hours you will buy one of my locks.' The Colonel at once agreed to the proposition, not, as he said, because he wanted tbe thousand dollars, but merely to get some fun out of the stranger. The time for the trial was eet for 2 o'clock that afternoon, and there were quite a number of us present. The money was placed in the safe and the Colonel locked it with the hardest combination that he could conceire. Time was called and the stranger went to work. He first unscrewed and took off the dial-plate, and then began working in the lock with a piece of bent -wire. Every little while there would bo a click, and he would stop and make a note of it upon a piece of paper. He worked away for about an hour, and then screwed the dial-plate on and said, 'Well, here iroes to open your safe,' and, giving the knob a few tons, he bad the door open. The Colonel turned pale, and said to me: 4My God, Smith, I bad a million and a half dollars in that safe last week, and suppose some of these rascals around here had gotten oato that combination then, I wonld have been ruined.' Did be buy a lock! Why, I should think so. He had one on his safe before the end of the week." ' MEETING OP LUTHERANS.

Their Synod's Programme for the Yeek Animal Sermon of Its President The forty-first annual convention of the Olive Branch Evangelical Lutheran Synod will begin its session at the First Lutheran Church, this morning, at 9 o'clock. It is customary with this synod to meet the evening before the day of the session and hear the annual sermon of the president, and also hold a reception, so that the members of the synod and the members of the church where it meets may become acquainted. Only a part of the programme was carried out on this occasion. The president, Rev. D. A. Kuhn, of Edinburg, preached the sermon, but the reception was postponed until this evening, as, owing to the bad weather, not many members of tbe synod or congregation were present The Olive Branch Synod embraces all the Englifh Lutheran churches of southern Indiana, and has twenty fire clerical and twenty-five lay members, all of whom will ba in attendance to-day. The synod meeting is for tbe purpose of receiving reports of the year's work, consultation in regard to the work and ordination of new ministers. The session will last until next Monday. The present officers are Eev. D. A. Kuhn, of Edinburg, president; Wm. IL Dolbeer, of Jeffersontown, secretary, and John II. Orr, Indianapolis, treasurer. The session will open this morning with a half hour's devotional exercises, treasurer's and secretary's reports and the election of officers. To-n?ghtDr. McDaniel will preach the annual missionary sermon. On Thursday the woman's missionary convention will meet and hold a two days' session. Sunday morning will occur the ordination of ministers, there being three candidates. Dr. Kuhn preaehed, last nieht, from the double text, Mathew sixth chapter and 22d verse, "But when the young man heard that saying he went away sorrowful; for he bad great possessions." and Aets, viiith chapter andoQth Terse, "And when they were eome up ont of the water the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rajoicing. The part 3 of the texts par ticularly chosen were the concluding sentences in each, "He went away sorrowful," and "ba went away rejoicing." The speaker eaid that they 6bowed the freedom of the will in spiritual matters. Here were two men of different circumstances in life, different positions, different races, and of different color, both being told in plain language, tbe way of salvation and the one heard it with feelings of sorrow and the other joy. In material affairs man is not always a free aeent, but in in grace he always is. Circumstances, and surroun dines, and health, and many other things may combine against him in worldly matters, and be may be positively unable to overcome them and attain the heichts of success to which bis ambition may direot nim, but in affairs of the soul there are no such weights dragging him down. There are co limits in grace to which tbe soul may nos aepire and attain. In religion the will is recognized. It is the will that directs and controls all of man's forces and all tbe forces of nature which be has appropriated to his use. Man is tbe architect of bis own spiritual fortune. Sages and philosophers have felt that morality alone is not enoucb, and that a man will not be saved through morality. Many men are inclined to make one virtue cover a multitude of faults. One man may pride himself npon his integrity in business affairs and still bs nnkind, ungenerous and profane. Another may attend church and be untruthful and a slanderer, and still another may not drink, but have many vices as bad as drunkennees. Both of the men of the text sought help when in need. Both went to Jesus, and the learned Hebrew came back sorrowing and the Ethiopian came back singing. Tho one accepted Christ acd the othsr preferred his own righteousness.

THE BRAIN AND ITS ODD PHANTASY

Singular Delusion of the Man Who Feared Uimself Only Lazy. Mr. Chas. Uichardsan,cof 247 South Sew Jersey Street, Tells a Remarkable Story with a Good Knding. Mr. Charles Richardson, tho anbject of this sketch, ia a sober, industrious young man, of perhaps twenty-two years of ago. He resides at No. 247 South New Jersey street, where has lived for eome years. The writer, in a recent interview, obtained from Mr. Richardson the following facts which, will bo of interest to many of oar readers: MR. CHARLES RICHARDSON. 4,I scarcely like the idea of brincine myself so promiuently before tbe public," said Mr. It., "yet I am willing to relate to yon my experience of the past year. As near as I can remember my tronble began one year aeo. It came in the way that such troubles usually begin. I felt a fullness in my nead, and a constant desire to sneeze. My nose ran considerably, and I bad all the other symptoms of a fresh cold. Somehow, this cold did not leave me, as hundreds had done before, after n few days. It clune tenaciously to me until 1 became alarmed r.boot it and tried various means of ealnine relief. My cold, however, seemed to have come to stay, and soon settled down into a steady, monotonous thine. My trouble was always worse io the morning. All my symptoms appeared then to be more marked than at any other time. I would awake with a disagreeable, tired feeling, which I found hard to free ir.yselr from. My thoughts "would run conftsedly throucrh my brain, and I could pet no rest. 1 often wondered if boys, or men, who WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IA.zr Were not troubled as I was. I had a dull throbbine in my head, just above my eyes. My nose would be stopped up, and large lumps of mucus would gather in my throat, having dropped into it during the night. I would hawk and spit np this mucus, which was of a dirty yellow and sometimes a greenish color. I could not breathe freeiy at times on account of this mucus filling up the air passages in my head. 1 coughed at times and I could not sleep well at night. My appetite failed me and I could tat scarcely anything. The sight of food seemed to sicken me. I realized that my hearing w j becoming impaired. Then there was always a tired feeling and no desire to do anything. I often worked when really I did not feel able," "You are better now?" asked the writer. "Yes," continued Mr. Richardson, "About two montha ago I read in the daily papers the statement of au acquaintance of mine who had been cured by Dr. Franklyn Blah, of 203 North Illinois street, acd I determined to place myself under his care. Idid so." "With what resultr "Well, I can breathe fraely through my ncse now. I do not have those headaches. My appetite is good, and I can sleep all right 1 do not have that tired feeling any more." Mr. Richardson lives, as above stated, at 247 South New Jersey street, where he may be found to verify the above statement ' ELY'S CREAM BALM.
