Forcing the Bible.

LOWELL, MASS, June 14.-In the Y. NJ.
G. A. this morning, a resolution was offered
by Rev. T. A. Fernley of Pennsylvania, to
the following effect: That this international
Y. NJ. G. A. Convention pledges itself to
resist to the utmost all attempts that have
been made, or that may be made to exclude
the word of God from public schools ofthis
nation, and that where it is temporarily ex-
cluded we will use special efforts to put the
Bible in every Roman Catholic family.
Considerable discussion was excited by
the proposition, and among other speakers
G. b. Strout made argument in opposition
TO the resolution, maintaining that this
country is free one, where no trammels
of sect should be established, or attempts
at undue religious pressure sustained.
These expressions were greeted wi tn
Kisses, mingled with faint applause from
every quarter of the house, and great ex-
element prevailed. The efforts of the pre-
siding officer and the good judgment of
some of the delegates queued the excite
ment, and an apology was made FOR acts of
disapproval, and Mr.. Strout concluded his
remarks,
The resolution passed.
A resolution to appoint an Executive
Committee for three years, was introduced.
Considerable difference of opinion arose, as
the report embraced all old members who
had served six years, and all from New
York. a---..
Mr.. Anderson, from Boston, thought
other places than New York entitled to it.
Cincinnati had money and brains, and so
had other cities. He wanted an infusion
of new blood.
Currey followed and desired new blood,
and moved an addition of three, one each
from Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Boston.
Various personalities were INDUCED in,
and the resolution as reported passed. All
little unpleasantnesses were amicably ad-
justed after adjournment.

SOME of the Grant organs are quoting
Horace Greeley as having said some con-
siderable time ago. seen. Grant never has
been defeated, and he never will be-" To
this the New York Tribune responds as fol-
lows:
Suppose the denomination organs en-
deavor to make good, or else retract, their
borrowed assertion that Mr.. Greeley once
declared Gen. Grant man who never had
been beaten, and never would be. We
have supposed Mr.. Greeley not addicted to
prophecy, and if he ever asserted that Gen.
Grant "Was never beaten" he was mistaken,
for be was beaten in his first battlefield
mont-and if his bloody repulses at Coal
HarbOr and the Mine Explosion before
Petersburg were not defeats, we know not
what could be. Gen. Grant was success
full commander, but whoever says he ''Was
never beaten" is in error. As to the future,
let those indulge in prophecy who find it
Drofitable.n

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The signal
service weather reports which were only
originally intended for the benefit Of COM
merce, have proved so useful to the agricul-

Congress has authorized the War Depart

Bad Case OF NepOtism in Kansas.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-An extremely
bad case of Presidential nepotism has bro
ken out in Kansas, and from the circum
stances alleged, it is one of the worst that
has been developed since the Grant family
put on the robes of royalty. Some time ago
Charles II. Hayden was indicted at Tope-
ka, Kansas, for robbery of the mails. The
evidence against the criminal is said to have
been ample, and the case was to have come
on in the winter term of the United States
Court, but the tie of consanguinity was es-
tsblished, to the Presidents satisfaction,
when the latter ordered Attorney Genera
Akerman to direct the District Attorney at
Topeka to discontinue the case upon the
restitution of the amount stolen by the
criminal. The following correspondence
will further explain the character of this
transaction:
"DEPARTNIENT OF JUSTICE, WASHING

Have you Elktonians received your an
nual supply of Almanacs for the coming
year. We have not as yet ordered ours,
indeed the scarcity of provender for our
stock, makes it highly necessary for us to
be exceedingly careful in our selection, for
unless we can obtain from among the
great variety of almanacs, one that will
pr0guosticate very mild winter to a GER
tainty. We be about as we'll off to have
none. Anything in the way of feed sells
unusually high. At vendues, cornfodder
brings from 8 to II cents per bundle, and
when the hauling is added, should it be any
distance, it figures up beyond a paying in
vestment. Hay and straw are proportion
ately high, and "Susie'' says that it hardly
pays to keep "Tossie," but Tossie is be
coming remarkably docile, to what she
used to be, owing in part. no doubt, to the
scarcity alluded to.
Quite number of farmers have lost
heavily by their potatoes freezing. One
man, hear lost $50 bushels, while another
had about four acres still in the ground,
losing them all.
Big North East creek is frozen over
and the boys are having fine sport skating
on Johnson's mill dam.
The three wooden mills near here are
all in operation, running day and night,
all on shoddy, with slight exception at
Johnson's. William never liked shoddy
but is advised that circumstances alter
cases.
Not one of our stores were closed the
day that Horace was buried. Shame no
respect. Even the man at the corner, his
warmest friend, hereabout's failed to show
the least sign of lamentation though n
great man in Isreal had fallen.
AS to the election of Grant, why you
never in all YOU life saw people so well
pleased, and should the General pass this
way, there is not man in all this neigh
borhood but would take him by the hand
and say, "How are you General and how
are the folks at home?"
The article in your last issue, on fash
ions attracted Susies' notice at once, and
she thinks that your department in that
line should be enlarged. Perhaps you had
better devote column to it, sort of mixed
with your religious matter, then The Whti
would be quite popular as select Sunday
reading.
Most of our folks have butchered.
