J)i,e Year 1"0 Six Months 0 'Whilk F.njrland is having considerable war talk at the present time, the United Elates is preparing for the political battle of We wonder who is the favorite candidate tor governor in the state of Indiana, along Republican lines, to the editor of the Plymouth Republican? rT via offers to act as an arbitrator between this country and (Jreal Britain over the Venezuelan question declined with hanks. It has not been long since we hung some Italians at New Orleans and all the indemnity demanded has riot been paid. 1'aI)Ki:i:vski clipped! Who can imagine such a l'aderewski ? The ide is preposterous. Without his hair he would not be l'aderewski. As Samson was sorn of power, he would be shorn of that unexplainable individualizing charm, the halo of his hair. And yet a saeriligeous Chicago barber has actu--tllv.aved to cut l'aderewski s hair. The following is a patriotic sentiment and has been promulgated by so:r,e of the most popular political journals of this country: ''We have now an opportunity for a declaration of financial independence. We can show that Kurope does not own the United Mates. We can indicate very strongly th.it. however useful European bankers may be, this country may be, this country is entirely able to get along without them. We can demonstrate that America is not only capable of independence but is ready to assert it " Ti iK hope of this country now is with the young men. The present congress is largely composed of comparatively young men. It is the common and prevailing sentiment now that the young men should have a chance, and this feeling is both wise and just. Of! course there are a large number of old party men who have held onto the otlices and the control of affairs until they are loath to step aside and give any one else a chance. These mea have been honored with the suffrages of their fel low citizens until they imagine they J alone are competent or worthy. They hold the wires in their own hands and crowd every one else out. The main party work is done by the young men, the oitng nu'ti should have the precedence. A t. most the graved attiude of tfie nations known during this century may w-11 cause apprehension that the centiinrv cycle my he closed by adenouninerit of international si rife and bloodshed unparalleled in the chronicles of history. A lng period of time characterized by pCLce so far as nations of the fust class were concerned, has seen the development of the most destructive machinery of war ever before known, and, as in a lull before the storm, a stupendous war cloud has been gathering which now hangs over the whole earth. In Cuba, the Transvaal and he Ottoman Empire Hash, ever; now, the lightnings of the oncoming storm and its low mutterings may be heard in every quarter. Premonitory signs are on every hand and it does not appear that the ominous cloud can be stayed except by the most exalted diplomatic wisdom. (ioVKUNoi; AllOKLli AliAIN. Alt geld of Illinois has put another dark blot upon his record by pardoning .lohn Is. (Jehr, who was given a live years' penitentiary sentence for murder in 1SIM, on account of the miners riots at Wesley city, and in the vicinity of J'eoria and I'ekin. (lehr and others were sentenced for their participation in the riot at the Little mine at Wesley city, in which two men were killed It is now claimed by the governor and his friends that evidence has been adduced sit.ee (Jehr was sentenced to thow conclusively that no one was killed by his hand t is a fact, however, that ('ear led the mob of rioters by whom the men were killed. His influence among the miners was undoubtedly greater from the fact that he had recently served in the legislature as representative, than it would have been otherwise, and his participation in the riots was to be the more severely condemned on that account. He set law at naught, ignored all the better impulses of human nature and led a horde of blood thirsty strikers to an ons'aught which resulted in the destruc-

tion of human life and much property. To all intents and purposes he was commander of a destructive revolutionary movement which, in common just ice, had no justification and for which his sentence was none too light, If the public does not wish to put a

premium on crime and wishes to avoid anarchy it must avoid Altgeltism as it would the direst, plague. Theke is but little security for life against the malice of murderers under the lax enforcement of the laws which prevails nowadays. The statistics of crime in Chicago show that there were 118 murders last year. Ninety-eight of the murderers were arrested and twenty escaped or were left unmolested. Of the ninety-eight arresttd but one was brought to the gallows and nineteen have received sentences varying from eleven years to the end of their lives, while two are under sentence of death. So that if these two are hung the results are, that out of 118 deliberate and wilful murders in one county in the state, but three of the murderers have been brought to proper punishment and ninety six have so far virtually escaped all legal retribution. This being the case, it looks as if our courts are getting to be pretty nearly useless as dispensers of justice or a protection to the lives and liberties an I rights of the people. A ItEMEDY. Since his visit here last summer Hurcham Harding has llitted hitherand thither dropping the t-eed of theosophy where ever the field gave promise that such seed would germinate and grow Mr. Ilardincr is anxious to see the growth ot a theosophical tree whose overhanging branches shall be as wide spread as ocean is from ocean. He is now nurturing the young tree in which is centered his hope, here and hereafter. From his present Chicago headquarters the good Bürchau now oilers to the world his nursling as the one universal panacea for financial ills, the ills of war j Hid all other ills mcludiiiL' those wej know not of. He offers it as the sola- j tion of all problems and as the ti'.iiver-

silbalm to soften all pain. With th!attheM K church. Sunday evening. most extraordinary liberality he oilers j Mr 1av Ta of ilyillllllMlf was m

ifici'suimj "' o yiportunity. It is England's, iermany's, liussia's and Cioa's opportunity. If the nations of the earth do not take what Harding oilers and pour its essence, like oil on troubled waters, over the sea of international dilliculties it is their faul, not his, and they must suffer the consequences. TIIKOKV VS. IA(T. Theory is speculative knowledge;! fact is the application of knowledge to j practice. The one is science, the other j is ar. Theory is a labyrinth: fact I shows a man the way through the world clearly. Theory knows what to do; tact knows how to do. Theory makes men respectable; fact makes them j respected. Theory is speculative wealth, j great expectation: fact is ready money. ! For all tne practical purposes in lite. ! fact comes against theon ten to one. j Theory may, obtain a living; fact will make one. Pheory may convince: fact will convert. Theory feels its way: fact linds its way. Theory commands; fact is obeyed. Take them before the forum. Theory has the ear of the crowd; fact hss the votes of the people. Theory is a line thing to talk about and be proud of, but fact is useful, applicable, always alive and marketable. It is the voice of truth made manifest in the practical evidences of progress which we see everywhere around us. Thesense and substance of all this is, free trade is the thoory that "like the snake slowly drags its length along.' Protection is fact reposing in the confidence of enjoying the full measure of the fruits of its wisdom. IH'TV AM) DANtiKi: Ol TDK HANKS. (The World I It is hi the power of the national banks to make the new bond issue a sjecess. It is not merely their duty to the Government to do it, but it involves their own self-preservation. They have shown that they have the gold. They have proved that they were ready to furnish it to a syndicate. They must furnish it to the Government, and they must furnish it on fair terms. The banks have a hundred millions of gold in the three great cities alone of New York, Boston and Chicago. The prompt, hearty and spontaneous offers of the smaller banks in the country not only furnish them an example but impose on them an obligation. The eyes of the nation are on them. If they refuse to aid the Government in an emergency, if they join hands with the speculators who are trying to "hold up" the Government, the power which called them into existence, gave them their charters and made them the only privileged class in the country will deal with them as they have dealt with it. There is already an intense prejudice against the national banks, especially

in the great West and gk?uth. Should they persist in a mistaken policy of hostility they will strengthen that feeling. They will put a weapon in its hands for their own destructicn. They can furnish the gold to the

Treasury, and once in there can keep it there. To refuse to exercise that power now would be to invite an out burst of indignant hostility that would sweep them out of existence. 11" It E WOMEN A max who will make mean remarks about a woman, or womankind, is vilo at heart and unfit to associate with decent men or women. We would rather associate with a reputable gambler, a whole-souled drunkard or a generoushearted thief, than with the vile creature who is eternally making mean remarks about women. No hat it so quickly or surely proclaims a man an irreclaimable brute as that of meanly slurring woman kind. We doubt if the world was ever j so full of good and virtuous women than it is to-day. And we can giveood reasons for our belief. Woman'scondi-; tion in the world is constantly improving. She is continually taking a higher and yet higher, position: constantly be coming of more importance and all the time wielding a greater influence, and j , . . thus gaining a more nearly comp ete b J 1 j and absolute control ot hei" person;; and with this absolute controie comes I perfect chastity. Every women is born j virtuous. Women are naturallv and in- , , stmctively virtuous and as they become,. more audi more masters ot their own persons, they live nearer to their own j intuitive ideas of truth and goodness, This is why we say the world was never . so full of pure women as to-dav. And! the argument is unanswered. Ai;;oi. .Ian. n, Km;. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Watson were in Plymouth last week. Mr. and Mrs. M. L.

USEFUL ITEMS. When, washing anything that has a eream tint do not rinse in blued water, but in clear water. A pointed paint brush will be found convenient for dusting the crevices in furniture and all spots that cannot be reached with the dust cloth. Castor oil should be applied to the corn after paring closely each night before going to bed. It softens the corns, which in time become as the other flesh. Colored muslins and ginghams are best washed without soap in warm water, to which has been added two quarts of wheat bran previously boiled half an hour in six quarts of water. Some people prefer to eat just before going to bed. They say it is natural for animals to sleep after eating. But, while comparative rest is a good thing after one's meals, we consider that sleep is not. Most persons will rest much better if they do not eat for some time before going to bed.

Idle application of words of Scripture is a mode of merriment, sir, which a j good man dreads for its profaneness, and a witty'man disdains for its coarse- j ness and vulgarity. j Genius without energy is an exquis- j itely-wrought ongino without steam, ah ( object of admiration without use. where the highest capability of speed is mo- . tionless. and unfitted, by the peeuliar1 "y of its structure, for all practical purI noses . . . , . . . .. and, if we keep it in imperfect condition, how shall either soul or intellect do good work with it? Happiness and usefulness are not indeed impossible without physical health; but they are of very difficult attainment, and of very unreliable quality.

Young married people cannot be too careful in the exercise of a wholesome restraint over their tongues and intercourse with each other, if they would preserve mutual respect and lay a solid basis for domestic tranquility. RELIGION AND REFORM. The Methodist Protestant church is to have a Good Literature day soon, with a view of increasing the circulation of the literature of the church. Dr. Baedecker, the English prison philanthropist, is about to start, at seventy-three, on his third mission to the Siberian mines and convict settlements. Governor Culberson, of Texas, who has so bravely circumvented the prize fighters, is only thirty-two years old. He is the youngest man that ever held the office in that state. The City Mission of Philadelphia recently celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of its establishment In this period there have been expended in practical charity $494,318. The will of the late Augustus Knowlton, of Gardner, Mass., bequeaths more than one hundred thousand dollars to found a charity, which Is to be known as "The Gardner Home for Elderly People." Rev. Dr. John D. Paton has arrived afely at Anewa, New Hebrides. He write? that the work has gone on successfully in his absence and that there were never more blessed results than In the last twelve months.
