Brother Jackson Tbink That Stvlnillrr Shonlil He llnnifeal. The II. 1 C. and Others There is a division of opinion regarding capital punishment and it seems to be an awlfu! question to think about, hut sometimes I for one, believe i justifiable in certain instances. Take for example Zimri Dwiggins, the Chicago banker, and his crew. They established branch banks with the apparent purpose of allowing them to fail. They had two branch banks in Indiana, one at Kempton, the other at Greentown, O. Most likely they made the first proposition to citizens in those communities to establish the banks: they failed. It is now apparent that their original intention was- to allow the banks to -fail. Thy undoubtedly ma le money in the operation. Of course if Dwiggins and his associate conspirators can repeat these operations in some other state or locality it is reasonable to supjose they will do it. In view of so many other defaulters of large, public trust where honesty and confidence form the base of operation, the question naturally arises: Are Dwiggins and his gang honest? Are they any better than the serni-barbarous pirates of distant countries? Are they any better than the outlaws on the frontiers? I answer, they are not as good. No difference how their personal appearance may be, no difference what society their families move in. The Plankinton bank of Milwaukee, which was worth a million and a half dollars, failed through reckless use of its money outside of its real line of business, but very likely it will get the best of the result just the same. The directors were arrested and that included the U. S. district judge of Wisconsin, as he hapiened to be one of the directors. The judge was indignant and may be innocent, but he was in very bad company and is in for it to some extent at least. So many criminal bankers have cropped out that the honest bankers must regret the spotted and extremely disgraceful phase into which they are plunged by dishonest- bankers of high and low degree. Most all banks want deposits of money. It h?lp.s them along in their business and poor people and people of very moderate me;uis are the greatest (sufferers with a dishonest bank. Poor men and women have labored und practice.! domestic economy half a lifetime to get a few hundred dollars ahead for safe keeping from rogues and accidents. Fme deisit In bank. If the banker prove to be a cold-blooded villain the poor depositors have their years of toil only for their scant living, have labored practically for society for nothing aa to themselves and are thus rendered worse than slaves in any country. The example those bank swindlers, county oflicf defaulters and cither great defaulters display is sufficient to justify capital punishment. In the ag?rate those bank conspirators and other defaulters of great public trusts cause more loss of life than any murderer by nervous exhaustion and mental anxiety as to Individual existence and relation to society and civil nernment. They are obnoxious warts, fulsome tumors upon society, and government caterpillars. They are leaders of rascal and incentive to rascality. Some persons not accustomed to philosophize and moralize may reason thus: "Well, if those fellows can get along by swindling, stealing and dishonest scheming I can too." Th law of capita punishment may be abolished no-met I me, but local sentiment stands supreme. A few "picnics"

on criminal bankers and other great recreants of trust would have the most salient effect throughout the country. There is no other way to reach them, such men do not fear the yawning door of the pen. they will take chances. The reckless characteristic of suc h criminals is to "fly." They have no more respect for others than a shark in the ocean. The old aphorism, "honesty is the best policy," should be brought out in bold relief in this age of social and commercial impetuosity. The mere name of honesty is not so important, but the principle is so handy and pleasant. T. M. JACKSON. New Lancaster. Ind., July 26. THK SIN FLOWFIt STATU. Sil im.)'" Proposition nineiiametl nnd a Pew Personal SiiKitestlon. Howard Friends After perusing the few Howard letters of last week's issue I thought surely I must write something, if only my nom, and help to fill up the page. What is the matter with all of the members? Only two letters on the page this last week. I If I had not been silent so long my self I might scold a little. Has any one gone to the world's fair? If so surely nothing would be more interesting than a nice long letter to the page describing the wonders of the world exposition. I have leen waiting patiently for more to express their opinions in regard to "Sunset's" question: "Should a lady that is educated marry a gentleman that is less educated, or vice versa ?" My opinion is, that If every educated person would marry their equal the un educated would stand a poor chance In ever advancing. For my part if I am ever so fortunate or unfortunate as to pet married I want by all means to marry come one who is better educated than myself. Then I might have a chance of growing wisr I do not think it would seem right for all the highly educated to marry their equal and leave the uneducated classed off to themselves. Seemingly the world would grow more ignorant every day. Supposing an uneducated lady and gentleman were to marry: nine chances out of ten their children would be brought up In ignorance. True, they might go to school. liut if neither one of the parents were capable of teaching them and they could pet no instructions at home how often you see they are brought up uneducated. Where If either one of the parents Is educated he or she can help and g've the children information and see that they ar properly trained. "1. Ph rates." and so you are from the Sunflower state? I am curious to know in what part of Kansas you live; we may not be far apart. How nice I should think It would be to live near a member of the Howard club. I suppose those who are going to be present at the reunion are anticipating a great time. I long to be with you. but live too far away to attend. Who was it said they were fond of peaches? Well, they are ripe now and have been for some time, and plenty of them. So come, "P.abbling Itrnok." you may have all the peaches you want. What has become of some of the old members. "Ida S.." "Advance." "Hamlef and a host of others? Wake up and write to the page. Sincerely vours, "SUNFLOWER." Derby, Kas., July 27. SINSKT'S" SinjKCT. Ilynelnth" Tnlkn Alton! It from Another Point of VIeiT. Howard Friends It has been some time since I wrote a letter to our club. "Sunset" has given us a subject for discussion that is not new "Should an Educated Lady Marry an Uneducated Man, or Vice Versa?" There has been some discussion, but all on one side. In my opinion. It depends much more upon the cause than the mere want of education. Whether from mental inability to acquire it or from a lack of opportunity. "Wyandot Dewdrop." do you not think that the young lady you spoke of might have been happy had he been below her only in education? If you lived in the country you might think differently. Nearly all the farmers' daughters are graduates from some high school or college, while the sons must be content with three or four months at the district school every winter until they can read, write and cipher. The result is, we see well-educated girls married to men that have none, and they are, or seem to be, happy, I will give you a case which I know to be true. A young girl of sixteen became infatuated with a young man of twentyone. He had been "bound" to a hard task master, had just received his freedom, and you may be sure his education was very limited. When the young girl's father found out how matters were he blustered a good deal. John, as we might call him, said he would go West and try to build up a business of some kind; would stay five years, hold communication with her during that time on condition that at the end of the five years, if she still wished It. there should be no further opposition to the marilage. To thjs the father consented. He went West, she to boarding school for two years then to one of the best colleges In Ohio. At twenty she returned to her Illinois home a refined, well-educated woman. The next year was devoted to housekeeping, she soon learning to serve up a good dinner. John liked god dinners, she remembered. In Just five years he returned, and after an interview with her demanded his brld" of her father. They were married and she went with him to his far-away western home. He had spent the five years with his uncle. He did and left John a large hay ranch. To this he took his bride, fifty miles from the nearest railroad, twenty-live miles from the pot-

office and seven miles from their nearest neighbor. She had to do, her own work, and in haying time cooked for the necessary hands. After a six-months' trial of it she wrote back to her friends that she .did not want them to mourn over her misalliance, for she was very, very happy. A young man with natural abilities Is not going to let the lack of education stand in his -way. He will gather up a fund of general Information, will mingle with those "that will help him up to a higher plane. His views of life will broaden and deepen. Then none will think to ask, Where did he get his education? I do not wish to be misunderstood. A thorough common school education is a better legacy than houses or lands. "Hawkeye." I am glad you do not like to read or discuss the "old scientific" doctrine of fatality, etc. Dogmas and creeds, is the world any better for them? Jesus and His love is enough for all our needs. A dnar grandmother of mine has just passed away. "The Lord is my light and my salvation" was her doctrine. The time and place of the reunion is

Fettled. Now we can decide to go. of course. , "HYACINTH." TIIAT TICKET. "Gnno Quote the Conciliation on n n Important Matter. Howard Friends I come at this time to speak of a matter of vast importance to the club, and that is the ticket that has been prepared and sent out. which Is not in accord with the constitution of this club (article 4, section 6), and notice of rrotest against counting the same has been made to the proper officers. Just who is to blame for the blunder I can't say, but some one has certainly been very lax in their duty, else it would not have occurred. The ticket as prepared and sent out is a violation of the constitution in two particulars. Article 4. section 6. of the constitution, in giv'ng the duties of the executive committee, says: "Shall nominate candidates for president, first and second vice-presidents, recording and corresponding secretaries and treasurer." Now, is the ticket as sent out in accord with the above? I answer, No. It contains neither first vice-president nor recording secretary. Said section 6 futher says: "Such nominations shall be made from those preferred by the different members of the society." Now 1 would respectfully ask the committee when and how they got their preferences from which to select a ticket? Did they ask for preferences on the Howard page of The Sentinel, which would have been the proper way; thus giving all a chance to say who they would like to have? I answer, no; as no such notice appeared on the page. The committee simply took the responsibility on themselves to make up a ticket, and you see the result a direc t violation of the confiltution. I have no fault to find with the names that do appear on the ticket, as I marked mine and refurned It to the secretary, but it is to the manner in which it was got up and to its being incomplete that I find fault. It looks too much like one man power I am competent to do this without your advice. According to the constitution, which is our club law, I do don't see how the ticket can be counted, and one of the main features of our reunion, the election of officers, be delayed till is conformity with the club laws can be prepared and sent out, and a special meeting for their counting called. As I said before notice has been given the officers that the counting of the tickets will be protested, so I call upon all fair minded members to stand by ma in this matter and see that your rights are respected. Let us go to the reunion at Michigan City fully determined that Justice to one and all must be done. "Right is mighty anil will prevail." GANO. July 27, 1893. FUOM "A LATH COMKH." A T Ik About I'n rm Life and Cuhbnge AVorniH. Dear H. L. C. Friends I have sent in two letters in the past six weeks and they do not appear on the page. I will try afain. I see the page looks kind of hungry and slim, but it looks full this week. I would not dare to appear in the circle since "Paul Quace" mounted his hobby and rode round the ring, tramping farmers in the dirt, but I, on second thought, saw what I always said that a farmer's life is full of labor, but there is no more independent a life than his, provided he keeps out of debt. Oh, ye toiling slaves to some employer, you are liable to be discharged any day or your business fail, but the farmer is his own employer if he owns the farm. If all people quit farming 1 think some of you would get as hungry as the sailor who ate the leaves of his bible and said it tasted as good, after going nine days without food, as bread and meat did at regular meals. Now "Paul" Just stop and look at both sides of the case and remember every cloud has a lining if it is dark. You will be apt to see a bright lining if you look, but no one is so blind as those that don't want to see a certain point. "Mary of Champaign." you seem to be a farmer s wife; so am I, and I will stand by them, even if I have to do the work for a family of nine and without the aid of a sewing machine at that. I see where one of our brave brothers has been fighting potato buss. I have had my battles with them, but we are not troubled with them this.. year. Put don't the tender little cabbage worm thrive now, and do any of you know any way to get rid of it? I know many people who will arise and bless the one that invented the cabbage worm killer. Every one I kill there are fifty come to his funeral, and they eat while they stay Well, here Is one you will not see at the reunion, although I would rather go to the reunion than to the world's fair. I will try to write again before the re union, but if I don't you may be certain it is because I can not. for I love to write very well, even if my -writing comes to naught. I love to read, but I don Hike to read trash. I will close for this time and see if it reaches its destination. "A LATH COMER." TIIH KIUMOV. ArrniiKement lnIe nt Mlclilgun City SiiKKeMtloiiM. Kte. To the Howard Club There has much been said in relation to our club reunion, but no definite particulars published. We have decided to cut down our reunion from a week to three days, on account of the members desiring to visit the world's fair and return home within a week. Our reunion will be from Aug. 1C to 18 inclusive. We can dispose of our business matters at morning or afternoon sessions and our literary work at night. We can then go to the fair in a body and enjoy seeing the. sights together. Wo have completed arrangements with the management of the Henderson house for rates of 11.23 per day. This is a $2 per day house. Free bus at all trains and centrally located. We can not, as some have suggested, see the fair and have our headquarters at Michigan City, because of the waste of time in going to and fro. The better plan, in my opinion, is to hold our exercises and then attend the fair. Every member who Intends visiting the fair can attend our reunion with very small additional cost. To all such I would say. purchase your ticket for Chicago and you can then get rates cheap. If you are east of Chicago you can stop off. and If west of Chicago it costs but $1 for the round trip from Chicago to Michigan City by steamer. Thus a perfcon can attend the fair and the reunloa

afterward at a cost of about $4 extra, j

To such as can arrange matters so as to attend the fair in August I would say by all mean.', attend the reunion. ou can t afford to miss It for the amount of money It will cost. The attendance will be fully as large, if not larger, than on previous occasions. Therefore. I would say again, let all come and have a good time. "Howard." can you not come over a day or so, to the reunion?" "Solicitor." 'be sure and attend the meeting. This seems to be a splendid 'opportu nity for our distant members to meet with us and enjoy the interchange of ideas. "Ben Ardvs." I was in to see you some two or three weeks ago. but you had left for home. Was sorry to have missed you. Have you still a notion of attending the club reunion? The Western writers' association, which numbers about the same as our club, has a wonderfully successful meeting each year. We can do the same If we will work. "Let us he up and doing. "OCCASIONAL VISITOR. Greencastle. Ind., July 31. THE WHITE CITY. School Mint renn" Seem F.nlhnsed Over the Slsrhtu nt the Fnlr. II. L. C. Friends The page of the Issue of the 19th looks shabby; only five contributions. Suppose all are like myself, so busy. I am disappointed by the change of the reunion from Chicago to Michigan City, but suppose It Is for the best. A word to the lady members who spoke of exercising their culinary knowledge. Do not think of attending the reunion and the fair and then take the extra labor of cooking, however well versed you are in that line of work. You will not get any pleasure from your trip. Save your strength and rest all you can for tty? sightseeing. Of all things make yourselves comfortable as possible. I horn? every meber of the club will visit the white city. It Is grand beyond description. True there are points of criticism, especially in the plan of labeling the exhibits of the art and the horticulture departments. As it is impossible to fully enjoy those departments without a guide, which costs 2") cents, and to study them by the guide takes more time than most visitors have to spend. We hear a great deal of the evils vhat will accrue from this fair. I do not see as those critics do. I see many points of good which will tell in future years. Our foreign sister nations will have a better opinion of us. We will appreciate our sisters across the waters more than we have. The various congresses that are meeting there are small pebbles that will cause ripples which will broaden till the waves are felt from shore to shore by every nation under the sun. There will be better inventions of labor-saving machinery. A thinking person cannt view the grounds and the exhibits without being stirred by thoughts grand and noble, so much of nature, art and science from all nations. Nations so widely different, yet all striving along the line of progress, national emblems from all parts of the globe waving beside our stars and stripes and all in peace and harmony. The nations are truly coming together. How proud we should be that we are American citizens. Proud that we can invite nations to our free and prosperous soil, who arehundreds of years older than we and cannot begin to compete with us in progress. As an educational factor its Influence cannot be measured. You can gain knowledge upon almost anything in the line of art and science. I wish you all a happy reunion I shall read with pleasure the report. Let us fill the page. r SCHOOLMISTRESS. Fowler. Ind.. July 24. (Vne K epl Fi I n .

Secretary Kennedy of the State Board of Agriculture is in receipt of communications form various sources which go to show that the only department that ever had any indication of falling short at the fair this year the mechanical department will be equal If not better than any preceding year. Since the list, giving notice that space could be assigned, has been put In circulation, the numerous applications from local and foreign merchants and manufacturers prove that the exhibit cannot fail shi-Tt. Local dealers say that the fair affords them too good a market for their poods for them to ignore It and thus deprive themselves of an opportunity which la so protitable. It was thoiiRht by some that the world's fair would detract from this year's state fair to such an extent that many of the departments would materially suffer for exhibits. Present indications are that the world's fair will have the opiosite effect unon the state fair and that instead of 1 driving exhibitors away. It will secure for the state fair a numner or foreign exhibits which otherwise could not afford to come here. A letter has been received from D. F. Wilbur, owner of the famous Pauline Paul, the Holstein Fresian cow. which holds the world's record aeainst all breeds, her record being l.ir3 pounds lö'-i't ounces In one year.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

Li;so vi. THIRO H AK'lf:it. INTERNATIONAL SERIES, Aid. . Text of the Lesson, Art xx, JJ-.'I.'V Memory Verne. .tl, lili Golden Tr(, llel. kill, 7 Co in me ii lory by the Rev. II. M. Stearns. 22. "And now, behold, I go bound In the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there." Last week we left Paul at Ephesus alone, his companions having gone to Macedonia. Then followed the uproar, after which Paul left for Macedonia, went as far as Greece, tarried there three months, then returned through Macedonia, ar.d now we find him at Miletus on his way to Jerusalem, hastening to be there if possible by Pentecost (verse 10). Touching at Milttus on thr-lr homeward voyage, he sent to Ephesus to have the elders come down to him, and our lesson today is his farewell to them. He reminds them of his manner of life among them and of his teaching. Doing must precede teaching. See Math, v, 19; Acts i. 1; Mark vi, SO; Josh. i, 8; Ez. ii. 10. 23. "Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bond and aflJictioiis abide me." While he di1 not know what particular events might befall him, he had a general knowledge that it would be as it had Leen, and even so to the end. It was in his commission that he should suffer (Acts ix. 1C), and large fort tastes had he already in the stoning at Lystra and the scourging and imprisonment at l'hilippi. 24. "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I miht lii.ish my course Willi jo." The ambition .f this servant of Christ may le seen in such passages as this in conn-cti.n with 1 Cor. ii. 2; II Cor. v, if; i'hil. i, 20; Gal. vi, 14. To make known the gospel of grace, to make Christ known through these bodies, to be in all things pleasing unto Him, these were his constant aim, and in these directions He exhorted his son Timothy (II Tim. ii, 3; iv, 15). and through His writings exhorts all believers. 25. "And now, lc-hold, I know that ya all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my faoa no more." In some way he knew that he would not meet them again till he should meet them at the judgment seat' of Christ, and therefore he would speak to them the more earnestly and waste no time in vain words. If when w speak to people, even in ordinary conversation, v,e felt that we mipht not meet them again in this world, we would be mote apt to say something about Jesus and things eternal. "Wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of men." not only ir. the sense of havingwronged, corrupted or defrauded no man (II Cor. vii, 2), but he had cleared himself of all responsibility in reference to ' their soul's salvation. If we. as the messengers of God faithfully declare His mesages of salvation, then we are clear of the blood of those who hear, whether they believe or not. Se Ezck. iii. 7-9; xxxiii. 17-19. 27. "For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God." That whieh he had received of the Lord he had made known unto them without diminishing a word (I Cor. xv, 3; Jer. xxvi, 2). He had kept back nothing (verse 20) through fear of man. So hi lived and labored not as pleasing men, but God. who trieth our hearts (I Thess. ii. 4). What a needful word that is. "He that hath My word. let him speak My word faithfully" (Jer. xxili. 20. 2S. "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the ll'K-k, over which the Holy Ghot-t hath made your overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood." One of the risen Christ's last words to Peter was a threefold exhortation to feed . His sheep and lambs (John xxl, in.- 17).. and Peter passe it on to us, saying. "Feed the flock of God which is among you" (I Pet. v. 2). Nothing can feed us but the word of God. The written word is full of Him who Is the living word, and He Himself said. "He that eateth Me, even lie shall live by Me" (John vi. 57). 23. "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you. not sparing the flock." It was Paul's delight to maintain himself by his own lalor that he might have to give to the needy things temimral and spiritual. Ilv.t there were and there are those who, professing to be shepherds, not .only do not feed the flock, but take good care to live upon the flock wolves in sheep's clothing. (Math, vii, 15; x, 16). 30. "Also of your own selves, shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them." It is one thing foi a man to be accused of drawing people after him. while his whole aim is to point them to Jesus (I Cor. lit, 4, 5.) It Is quite another thing for a man to live and labor for the sake of a following (Acts v. 3C, 37). 31. "Therefore watch and remember that by the space of three years I cease.l not to warn every night and day with tears." Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture, saith the Lord (Jer. xxiii. 1). See also Ezck. xxxiv, 2. Prayerfully, tearfully and unceasingly had Paul labored for their soul's welfare, and as he foresaw the possibility of false teachers and souls ruined and lost his heart was grieve-d. 32. "And now. brethren, T commend you to God and to the word of His grace, whieh is able to build you and give you an Inheritance nmong all therr which are sanctified." He knew th-it If thtnr would only hold fast to the word of God they would not waver nor be led astray. The only safety then and now Is "to the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, surely there Is no morning for them" (lsa. viii, 20, It. V.). 33. "I have coveted no man's silver or gold or apparel." He was not seeking theirs, but them. He wanted nothlmr from them, but he had something to give them. Though he was poor. 3-et he made many rich; though he seemed to have nothing, yet be possessed all things (II Cor. vi, ln. When any gave him gifts, ho was especially glad for them, because It was just so much added to their account in beaten. 34. "Yea. ye yourselves know that these hanels have ministered unto my necessities and to them that were with me." Therefore, when the false teachers would come, seeking theirs and nt them, only wanting to make something out of them, not caring for their souls, they could sav: "Thus did not Paul. He never asked us for anything for himself." See further instruction-upon t,l.ls poir.t in II Thess. iii. S-l-J. 3.".. "I have shewM you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember th words of the Lord Jesus, how He said. It is more blessed to . give than to receive." It Is not recorded that Jesus ever said the-se words, so that possibly Paul has here given us some of the unrcorded words of Jesus. This principle, however, was certainly In His tc;chin? and very prominent (Luke vi. SO; xlr. 13. 14).
