the sheep all run to the dogs for pro-

dogs and sheep, and the watchtul

sights in the world. These faithful
guardians Of tne flock are ever OH the

We sincerely hope that the Sen
ate will not place itself on the rc
cord as the House has done in the
Indiana Legislature, rs saying that
they design to legislate in favor OF
reducing the weekly wages of jour-
neyman printers by cutting down
the scale of publ hing delinquent
tax lists just one half from the old
price This is the only effect of
the proposed reduction so far as
we can see; because if published at
all, at the new price, u reduction
on it's cost must be made some
where, and that is about the only
place that we know where publish
ers can make it. Assuredly our
law makers do not design to
legislate in favor of reducing the
weekly wages of those who have
nothing to depend upon but their
daily labor for subsistence! We
shall see what the Senate will do
in the Observation-Disclosures.

Slowly but steadily the gospel of
Equal Rights is converting and con-
vincing all classes of intelligent wo-
men. In the churches women begin
to assert their individuality as never
before. Mrs. Anna Wittenmeyer, in
The Christian Woman, for January,
has leading editorial entitled:

CHURCH? ,sac
This seems queer question to ask
in regard to one of the most liberal
denominations in all Christendom;
but if we accept the ruling of the
Board of Bishops of that denomina.

in the California Annual Conference
as a fair Interpretation of the Book Of
Discipline. we should be obliged to

The case in hand was this: appli-
cation was made in due form for the
ordination of woman. There were
no objections to the candidate. She
had been licensed to preach by the
proper authority of the church. There
was no question as to the process of
approach to the bar of that august
body. The Bishop in his chair, and
every member of the conference and
OF all conferences, had in the begin
ming been licensed to preach by the
same authority, and had reached the
conference by the same processes.
She had gifts. grace and usefulness;
had exercised these gifts for years
with marvellous success. Thousands
had been converted and brought into
the church through her labors; but
she was woman, and we are informed
that Bishop Merrill promptly ruled
the case out of order, taking the po-
sition. with the other bishops. that a
woman could not be legally licensed

Church, and license could not he or

Economy and Retrenchment.

1t was vigorously denied during the
canvass last summer that the anti
Republican party. which had complete
control of the General Assembly, and
the State Offices, had failed to run the
administration Of State affairs sue
cessfully fl ON 1870 to ~ on a State
levy of cents on the 500 of valu-
alton. A Republican administration,
when it came into power in 1873,
found the State in debt one million of
dollars, all of which it afterward paid,
and, in addition to the legitimate ex-
penses, paid the interest on the loan
contracted for the Democratic deficit
in the revenue-about 500, OO0-the
old internal improvement bonds of
1869, and turned over the State to
the anti Republicans out of debt, with
increased sources of revenue and
prosperous.
The Democratic platform demanded
a return to the 5 cent levy, and that
the levy never should exceed that
rate. A good mary votes were OBJ
tanned upon this false pretense Now
the1owest rate proposed in the House
of the Legislature is s cents, and an
additional, or special, levy of 5 cents
on the 81 900 valuation, to provide for
building State House and several
hospitals for the insane. The anti
Republican party will have to be
judged by its acts-they will be
Judged according to their works,
not their promises. Madison Courier.

cannot repeal the Baxter law with
out offering law to take its place;
and secondly, the Senate has taken
such position that no bill can be

AN AUTUMN SONG.
BY JENNIE HARRISON.

oh, the changes will follow the years as they
go,
And shadows must mingle with sunlight,
we know;
The flowers gather will wither at last;
The songs we are singing be lost in the past;
Some links must be broken in life's golden
chain,
And bells that rang sweetly may not ring
againi
Yet why need we mourn, looking back DER
the way,
When forth in the future such brightness
may stay;
For all of our losses comes something to gain,
md pleasure close follows the footsteps of
pain.
Oh, the river that floweth forever the same
May follow one channel and bear the one
name;
But the flowers on its margin, the trees and
the grass,
Forever must change with the seasons that
pass.
And thus our afection-the stream of the
soul
Right onward, forever unchanging, shall
roll,
Though that which hath blossomed once fair
by it's side
May sink away slowly with times ebbing
tide.
Oh, why need we sorrow for joys that are
gone,
While the iifc-giving river forever flows On?
