A Successful Collection.

Very much of the pine wood which
gave name to the region so long known
as the Pines Of New Jersey has been cut
and taken away, some as cord-wood for
fuel, and a good deal as charcoal This
is especially so near the shore, where it
was convenient for shipping. 1t is OF
the coasts of the pine lands that many
boarders are to be found in the sum-
mer, and gentlemen also are to be found
frequenting these places later in the
season for the purpose of wild-duck
shooting. A number of years ago the
minister of the then little Methodist
church gave notice that as it would soon
be time for thacity gentry to come out
with their families, it was necessary to
have the church cleaned and white
washed, and for that purpose a collec-
ton would be taken up. The steward
was directed to pass the plate, and the
people were enjoined to give literally.
1t was in the old time of the multifari-
GUS bank-bills and the huge copper
pennies. The steward had passed the
plate, and returned with the collection.
This the preacher counted, and found
to be seventeen cents. After citing the
stale example of Alexander the copper
smith, he said: my friends, we can't
clean and whitewash this Westinghouse
for seventeen cents. Brother, you will
pass the plate round again. 1t happen
ed that New York gentleman was pres
ent, much in the character of the first
swallow of summer, and he deposited a
tive-dollar bank-bill in the plate. When
the plate was returned it contained, be-
sides the bill, six more of the big cents
Not noticing the cents, the minister
took up the bill, looked at the denomi-
nation, and was astonished then rub
bed the paper to test its quality, then
held it up to tie light, seemingly du-
bious of its character. Then he spoke:
Brethren, we've got enough this
time to clean and whitewash this meet
ing-house-that is, If this ere bill is
good !" ..- ..t ...
Just imagine the feelings of that
New York gentleman But then it is
good gospel to suffer in well-doing.

Battle OF Money.

The Christian Union contains an edi-
torial on the Battle of Money" in
which occurs the following paragraphs:
The great battle of our day is to be
the battle of money. The combinations
of capitalists, the consultations of rail
roads, the enormous concentration Of
money in comparatively few hands, is
raising up Plutocracy which threat
ems to overmatch Legislatures, courts,
and all private interests that may stand
in the way of these gigantic corpora
tons. If the very ablest men in Con-
gress are so easily beguiled and per-
verted by this first outset, what will
the future be, when millions of dollars
can be brought to bear upon Congress
to secure millionaires Legislation, as
against the interest of the common
people
II the Congress of the United States
to become an exchange, on which money
princes shall meet and exchange com
modities I? g.f .f.a ..r.a.t
The remedy is two-fold. There must
be formed ahome sentiment of honesty,
which shall make it impos sible for any
man to enjoy such gains as he gets by
q sacrifice Of honor, truth and public
trust. AS long as men, by scores and
hundreds, can go to the Legislature
poor, and in five years return rich,
maintain their popularity, and enjoy
their ill-gotten possessions, of what
use will it be once in ten years tc
sacrifice luckless criminal amidst
universal excavations The honesty
must dwell among the common people.
There must be honesty at the source Of
power. If the people are debauched
their representatives will not be virtu
Gus. The moral education of the whole
community must, after al, be thegrand
remedy.

County Clerk.

The most difficult office in the county to
fill satisfactorily is that of county clerk.
Ii requires a very capable, correct and in
dustrlOus man. Compare the two men
who are candidates, and then say which of
them is best suited to discharge its duties
we'll Mr.. Cook is a well disposed, honest
man, without doubt, but he does not pos
sess the qualities requisite for proper
discharge of the duties of the Office We
mean no disrespect to him when we say
this. He knows, as well as any one, that
he cannot discharge the duties of the Office
if he should be elected. His friends know
it--and when told of it they say-"Weil
never mind that--the county can pay hired
clerks to do it." We doubt if the people
want to elect man TO that office who can
not fill it and who must run it by proxy at
the peoples expense. Mr. Cook, like Gle
land, is a man who don't succeed well at
farming, and who, if he can't do his own
business we'll will not be able to do the
peoples business well, He is also, like Gle
land, chronic ofice-seeker, and for many
years has been standing candidate be-
fore Republican conventions for sheriff, or
something
Mr. LIE Quatte never sought office in his
lite-the Office literally sought him. He did
not even know that his name was men
toned in connection with a nomination.
He was not, like Cook, hanger-on at the
convention for anything that would turn
up. He did not know anything of it until
after the convention, when he was written
to by the secretary and informed of his
nomination. As to qualifications, the DIFF
ference between the two men is like the
difference between light and darkness
Mr.. lie Quatte has always been success
full man in whatever he undertook. He is
graduate Of the best business college in
Chicago has been teacher in that insti-
tuition; is a fine penman, correct account
ant and knows how and is entirely compe-
tent TO perform the duties Of the Office.
He is a careful, correct man, in every re-
spect, of excellent morals, integrity and
upright character just the man for the
place, and the people of this county will
make mistake if they permit him to be
defeated,

after Judge Guyer was elected he was
seized with great anxiety for the welfare of
the soldiers orphans, and as my wife had
been acting as guardian OF the minor heirs
of David j. Vanmeter, from the time the
pension act took place until the election of
Judge Guyer he informed her that she
must give new security Mr.. John Cor
bon, our neighbor, offered to go security
for her, and went to Rock Island to do so
On arriving before the Judge she was in
| formed by his honor that under no circum-
stances would he receive bondsman from
her, except she would give security for the
back amount, which amounted to over four
hundred dollars asked the Judge if he
had required Mr. Simonson, whom he had
taken the responsibility to appoint to act as
guardian, instead of my wife, to give Sc.
ty for the back amount. He said he
could not consistently do that But
says the Judge Il should be glad to
have you act as guardian of your children.

by Judge Guyer, and remarked in reply to
him, that before | would suffer man who
had offered 50 disinterestedly to befriepd
me or mine, would have my right arm
cut off above my elbow. This finished up
the interview, and we left the honor and
glory, for the time being, with the Judge.
