When will Piko county erect a soldiers monument ? Fabmeks aro making up their minds to vote against Republicanism. W. L. Truit’s article on Astroncmy euds this week. It was a good article. ___ Who, besides Cleveland and Blaine, nrellie lit men of the parlies for President ? The new tax law will be very popular before this time next year if the commissioners do their duty'. Wile some oi our prolectioulsts friedds explain why wages are so much higher in the West thau iu the East ? __ This will always be an agricultural country and the republic will stand, JResident Harrison’s trembling fear 0 the contrary notwithstanding. Attendance at the Pike County pair will be greater at the next exposition than ever before in the history of,the organaliou. Mark our .prediction. _ Who has a better right to the wealth of the country than the'masses who make it? Why then, make a law compelling the many to pay to tthe few ? • _ The world is where it was, but a good nwvny of,its inhabitants are not where thov were, financially, a little while ago.' The big fish liaye eaten up the little ones. Some of the Princeton papers are tryiug to build up the Gibson County Fair by running down the fair in this county. It will be years before Princeton, has such a fair as Pike County always has. They don’t know how. The enemies of Democracy were loud in predicting that the school book law would be a failure, and that the Australian ballot would likewise be uupopular. Both are now endorsed by flio people. t Our same enemies are crying out against the new tax law, which will yet prove a blessing. It seems that Hoosier Republicans are making a mistake in complaining of everything that is for the good "of the people. While the soldiers were at Qetroit last week, attending the National Encampment, some of them took a run over into Canada. One of them (a Republican) priced some of the necessaries of life while over there, sucli as common clothiug, etc. lie says lie can buy them very much cheaper over there than he can buy the same goods here. Of course the tariff is what makes our goods high; but Lcnocrats do not, as a rule, have lo go to'Canada and price goods to learn this fact. The time is near when the people wili express their belief in complete 'and not restricted reciprocity; when they will no longer sustain any party which levies and collects one dollar of the people’s money above what is required to economically administer the affairs of the Government; when they will give due notice that iufant industries that have been nursed for M-hundred years have arrived at an ^ige when they • must take care of themselves; when they will brand a protective tariff a stealing, its advocates as beggars, and demand that we must have a tariff for revenue only.

The time will soon come when the ‘ people will, by their ballots, most emphatically condemn an industry that is ♦continual barrier to commercial prosperity ; when they will reject the party which, through the last Congress, appropriated for govern moot expenditures the tremendous sum or $1,000,000,000, au expenditure of $17 for every man, woman, and child in the United Stales, a sum, too equal to1, pue-third of the national debt at the close of the war and also equal to the whole net debt of tlie United States at the preset^ time, and a sum which bids fair to create a deficit in the Treasureiy; a parly, loo, which, by its reckless course, has made it impossible to pay! the Government bonds that fall due in September, for should they be paid Jhere i^ill not be money enough left to pay the current expenses of the Government thirty days longer; a, parly, too, which raised the average] rale of duties from 47 to 57 per cent, that clothes the President of the United States with the unconstitutional |>ower to levy ami take oft' taxes —that right in the face of a decision of tl»e Supremo Court which said jhal such taxation was a robbery; j ^ authorised the Secretary of the Treasury to pay a direct bounty out of the motleys collected from the people, ostensibly to a few sugar .banters in the South, but in realitv •o the Sugar Trust; a parly that blits pernicious Class legislation drives the American marine from, off the high seas, and pretends it o*i> be rejiabilitated "by direct subsides to steamship lines.

W. G. T. urs. TUB CHURCH KDITKD BT ADUIE \CIUTIIAM AND THE REFORM. RANCE The Christian Church is the most important, the most enduring and the most powerful organization on earth to-day. For this reason . and many otIters, its utterances and its action with reference toJany and all Iniquity should be distinct, emphatic and unequivocal. This ee;i‘tainly should he true of the great evil that overshadows us at this hour, of darkening the home, poisoning social life, polluting politics, obstructing the work of the church, destroying the influence of the gospel, and un fitting one for the lite that uow'is, and for dial which is to come. Those who have had any experience in reformatory work well know that the liiquor evil will never be destroyed by 'letting it alone, or by mild and gentle remonstrances. Wo know it has been said that “easy blows kill the devil,” but the saying is as false as the authbr of it; we incline to the view that the phrase originated with the dovit himself, as one of his devices to get rid of his just deserts. This policy lias been tried from lime immemorial, and to the best of our knowledge and belief he is not dead yet. To accomplish this result will require hard blows and a good many of them ; they must be well directed and often repeated. Whom can we expect to take tho lead in this matter if the church will not? Gan we rationally expect the -world to do more and better service than the churclf? Can we expect it to be more valiant iu fighting evil and more , resolute and persistent in overthrowing it ? We surely cannot look for this,, and as Christian men we ought to be ashamed to allow it if we could. Ono of the most alarming features of the situation to-day is tho apathy of the church or its apparent indifference to tho condition of tilings. The dreadful fact stands out with startling prominence that hundreds, yes, thousands of our young men, our own sons and brothers and friends, are sporting on the very edge of the mealstrom or are already in the very current. Many of these are taken not from the slums, but from tho very droppings of tho sanctuary and right from our Sunday-schools. Not long since a lady was visiting one of bur penal institutions, having passed a grated cell she (bought she heard her own name called. On stepping back she found Charlie D-£ a former Sundav-shool scholar. “Why, Charlie 1” 6ho exclaimed, “what brought you here?” “Drink! ho sadly replied taught mo that it was or steal or tako God’s nani! but you did not warn me' danger of the first glass or of drink habit. I went from tho Sun-day-school to the saloon legalized by (lie laws of the land, and here I am.” Tho saloons are every day robbing us of scores of young men, young men who ought to he jewels and pillars in the church,and they, are burning our their religious aspirations and desiresand fitting them for blackness and darkness forever; and yet some of our churches are relucta nt in declaring their positon and announcing their undying hatred of this evil in all its forms and their determination to crush it forever. Let us counsel our churches to speak out early and often against every phase of this iniquity ; let us call on our pasters to preach against it regularly and frequently in uo uncertain language; let us beseech our laymen to pray for its utter removal and to show a disposition always and everywhere to do their utmost to compass the answers of their own nravers.

It must be obvious to the most; obtuse that glittering generalities do not meet the omergancy. We want something definite, clear-cut, unmistakable, unequivocal. If the devil trembles when he seos tho weakest saint upon his knees, he will certainly tremble with good reason when be sees thcX’hirstiau church fully awake to the danger, and fully determinded to wipe out this abomination. Here are aJew questions which it seems to us our ehurches should seriously ask and candidly answer: Is the church doing what it can aud«cught to save our pedplc from the drink curse? Very few. we apprehend! can concienliously answer this question in the affirmative. Are we teaching the young as we might aud ought on this subject! We have a priceless opportunity to do this in the Snodayschool. Ought nots the inquiry to be, not bow little can^we do, but rather how much? Our clergy can certainly preach, and preach plainly and regularly ; all can pray, aud pray earnest iy and persistently. We can teach, and teach as if the spiritual welfare of the pupil depended upon it. Let us preach aud pray, teach and vole with the purpose of solviug this problem aright, and let us do it w ith a view of pleasing'God, the total abstainer and the temperance reformer, and vvi‘.l\ a View of displeasing the devil, the distiller, the aaloonref and iltc crowd that gathers at brothels and bar-rooms.—lioinhxtic Journal. Almost all the local papers in southern Indiana have said this year: There will lie fruit enough go to waste in this county to pay the It is as true of one county as of another, but do you believe it of any of them ?

ASTRONOMY * OF THE EAUTII. Iii ihe^piecceding article, wo demonstrated the rotary motion of {lie earth. In the present .article, we wish to show that itie'Oavtli has yet another molion; that it moves in a great circle around the sun onee'~S year ;or nfioro correctly: A roar is the time of one revolution of the earth around the situ. It is this revolution that produces the four seasons, and makes the sun appear to go-southward in the winter, and return again iu the spring. Aside from the direct proofs, there are certain considerations which makes this annual motion probable, if not certain. If we admit such a motion in the earth, then the motions of all the other bodies of the solar system mav bo accounted for,and be exhibited harr monv and systematic arrangement. But if the earth is supposed to be stationary the motions and phenomena of the whole universe will present only coufusion and discord. The motions of the otherjplanets.and their thousands of phenomena, which are now well understood, would completely lose the beautiful harmony of arrageinents and motion which they now maintain. Again ; the sun is the great fountain that furnishes light apd heat to millions of bodies besides the earth. SToiv, which is the more consistent to reason, that the sun be tlie center body ot the system in which the earth is placed or that he neglect all the rest, and lavish his attention upon one puny planet about eight thousand miles in diameter? If the earth were at rest as tho center, there are planets which would approach so near to the sun, that they would he scorched ; while others would recede so far that they would be ten times more frigid than the poles of our earth. To demonstrate the aunual motion of the earth will be much more dir - | fieult than the subjects so for treat|ed, not that there is lack of proofs hut because tho proofs are not so ^ comprehensive to those who have not already some general knowledge of the subject,and because of the lack of illustrations. (I have, I however, produced one cut with my penknife and compasses, which— though mot an enviable specimen of wood-engraving—will he an additional aid. Tho following is a mere synopsis of the arguements, which would require several columns to treat in detail.

By studying the diagram, we see that Mercury,(marked m.) ami Venus, marked Y.) revolve in an orbit between the earth, marked E,) and the sun (marked S) Now, it will be seen that Mercury and Venus,at every revolution around the sun, will be onee between'the earth and sun, aud once on the opposite side of the sun from the earth. These positions are ealled respectively Inferior and Superior Conjunctions; that is, in a line with the earth and sun, cither between the earth and snt., (inferior conjunction.) on the opposite side of the snn'(supotior conjunc lion.) But it will also be seen, that it is impossible for Mercury and Venus to be in opposition; that is, on the opposite side of the earth from the sun. (the earth being between them and the sun. But if tire earth Were at rest, aud all the other planets revolving around it as the center, Mercury and Venus would often bo in opposition, a phenomenon which dose not aud cannot happen. Again, we see that Mars (marked M) revolves in an orbit outside of the earth's, and can have but one conjunction (superior.) but is often in opposition; whereas, as lias been shown, Mercury and Venus have two conjunctions, but no opposition. The phenomena of these planets as given above, have been long and well understood ; and the same principle applies to every other known planet without exception. But if the earth did not iiiovq around the sun ^outside of the orbits of Mercury and Venus, and inside the orbits of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, noue of the phenomena of these planets could be accounted for. The greatest elongation of Mercury is 5:51 degrees; that of Venus, 48 degrees. By elongation is meant the greatest distance a planet recedes from its primary in its orbit. These elongations correspond exaetlv with their distance trom the sun; but if they revolved arjntud the earth as the center their elongations would often be 180 degrees, a thing that has neVer happened. By the plan of the solar system which places the sun in the center, all the planets arc at times much nearer the earth, brighter, and apparently ipuch larger; at othor times, much more distant; lienee, loss brilliant* and seem much smaller. Mars, tor instance—which is at limes a lustrous mdi niiig star, aud at other times cvej iiing star—is in one part of its orbit, I five times nearer the earth, and ap- | |>ears twenty-live times huger. What i is true'of Mars is true of the other ! planets in proportion to their siaft and | distance from the the sun. But were j the earth stationary, and the other i planets moving around it, it is seif- “ - 'a““ss® • iparcnt size and be the stun*,

The planets Mercury and Venus, arc found lo exhibit all the phases that our moon does; that Is in one part of their orbit, like a half moon; at other times gibbous, and at auothcr like a futlmoon. These phases could uot be possible if they did not move around the snn, and inside of the earth’s orbit. What is known as Kepler’s Latv that “the squares of the periodic timeis of the revolutions ot the planets aro in proportion to the cubes of their mean distances from tue sun,” is ar beautiful mathematical truth. For example: The periodic time of Mercury, (the time of its revolt!- ! tion around the snn) is nearly 88days; that of the earth 365 days and the distance of the earth from tl.e sun is 95 millions of miles. Now find the square of 88, and of 365 aud the cube of 95 millions. Then, as the square of 365 is to the suqare or 38,so is the cube of 95 millions to a fourth number which is the cube of Mercury’s distance from the sun. Extracting the cube root of this fourth term, we have 37 millions of miles as the distance of Mercury'from the suu, which is fouud to be correct. But this law, wbich applies to at) the planets with wonderful exactness, would be coni-, pletcly set aside if we consider the sun and plcnets as revolving around the earth. Two more proofs as conclusive as any already given must be omitted for want of adequate iilustratUms; these are the Retrograde motions of the planets, and the. Aberration of the light of the fixed stars. The above is but little more ttan a mere outline of the arguments to support the annual motion of the earth, and would require a page ol a newspaper, with numerous cuts, to simplify. • ,, It is a fact that astronomy is a difficult study for most persons, and the many beauties exhibited inlhe science cannot be enjoyed except by diligent application, and I wish to say, in seltviudication, that the little I know of the science I did noljaccept upon the mere say-so of a few smart men over the world, anti it was years before I could make the ideas presented in these articles realy my own. I have often been asked by the uneducated if I “believe what I preach?” I answer that there is no more doubt in my mind that this arrangement of the myriads of orbs of the Solar system, than there is of the existence of a Great First Cause that arranged and still sustains them from age to age in their swift motions with an exactness iu time that far surpasses all human* chronometers. [TiiE F.SD.] Who is a Hypocrite! The man who joins the church and makes a show of piety and cheats and grinds his simple neighbors; the man who prays for the abolition of the iiqncr Iraffie and votes for its maintenance; the man who accompanies a nice lady tb her home and embra ; ces a harlot in a bawdy house; the j woman who (ells the servant to announce that she is not at home because she don't want to receive callers; and the woman who receives her visitors with smiles and. flattery and says slio is glad the moment they leave the house; the pretended friend who will try to induce you to drink intoxicants; the man who joins the church for gain; the man who will iaccept your help when you cannot do without it and then turn upon you for doing that kindness; those who flatter you beyond your deserts; people who assist the prosperous andj push the poor further into poverty; | those who praise yon iu your presence j and backbite yon in your absence ;| the man who says one tiling and 1 knows another to be true; the man i who half earns his wages; the man who refuses to pay what work is worth ; the vender who puts all the good fruit at the top aud the bad at the bottom of the vessel; the people that send money to convert the heathen and at the same time refuse to say one encouraging word to the heathen at home; the woman who says she never in her life saw a man whom she would. mary; the people who promise protection to you and your' interest and then conspire against you. These, all these are hypocrites. Does the leader fit in anywhere? If lie does, let him get out, A proper study of mankind will almost make one believe that all tho people are hypocrites. Hypocrite.
