The committee appointed at the previous
meeting, through their chairman, Hon. r. j a..
Jones, made an elaborate report of such iacts
as they bad been able TO collect 10 regard to
the deslrability Of the breeders of Vermont
entering their aooks in the register then be.
ing in process of formation by the Ohio wool
growers association. This report, which is
too lengthy to be printed in full in these
proceedings, presented the following facts :
That it was not the intention Of the Ohio
wool growers or managers Of the register TO
give up the scale Of points. That New York
sheep breeders were in favor Of uniting with
Vermont in getting up register, but not in
favor Of uniting with Ohio in getting up one
on the present plan. That it is not certain
how soon it can be brought about, that breed
srs outside Of Ohio can have an equal voice
in the control Of the register, now in an ad.
yaneed state OF preparation for publication.
That "all persons having sheep admitted to
record, and all subscribers for one or moro
copies Of tho Sheep Register shall constituta
joint stock company for the publication of
the first volume" This provision binds each
MEMBER to contribute to pay the present in +.
debtsdness of the association, as well as the
expenses that hereafter may be incurred.
That ga rival party claims ownership Of the
manuscripts said to be in an advanced state
for publicatiOn, and that litigation is threat
ened to obtain possession of them, aud that
it is well known that much discussion exists in
Ohio, West Virginia, and Western Psnnsyl.

Mrs. Charles Henderson Of Boston is 90

Everything seems to have been done for
the metric system that can he done, except
to adopt 1t, which depends more on private
than on public action. Congress has already
legalized it, and it would be a very good
thing if the different trades anil other private
organizations would agree to use it, but its
actual adoption, we fear, must be voluntary
and gradual.
The groom in a recent Casey county Ky
marriage was 70 and the bride 70, but the
queerest feature Of the wedding was the
fact that the same parties were married to
each other over half century ago, but not
living happily, were divorced after this
they both married twice, and each losing
respectively two wives and two husbands,
they have come together again at this late
day.

The Secretary of War.

Judge Taft, tho newly appointed secre-
tary of war, was born in Townshend, Yer
mont. He graduated at Yale college aud
commenced the practice Of law in Cincinnati
in 1889. lie has gained reputation as au
able lawyer. He has engaged in politics to
some extent but has been too upright and
honorable for a successful politician Of the
times. He was a member of the convention
which nominated Fremont for president, aud
ran for Congress against Geo. II. Peudleton
In the same year, but was defeated. He has
always been identified with measures for i'm
provements in his own city aud state aud is
'honored with the confidence of the people Of
his state to a marked extent. The last time
he was elected to the office of judge of the
superior court he received the unanimous
vote of both political parties. Last year he
made speeches upon various topics Of national
interest and the Chicago Tribune speaks Of
him as follows:
"The speeches ofJudge Taft last year upon
financial and other issues were the ablest de
livered in the great Ohio campaign, except
those by Carl Schurz. In depth aud breadth
of view, in clearness OF conception, in firm
ness and correctness of opinion, he was moi
equalled, on either side, except by Carl
Schurz, himself. He is a man Of gre At abil.
ity, and possesses all the natural attributes Of
craftsmanship iu very marked degree"
The people may well rejoice over the re.
cent appointment.

The Springfield Republican in commenting
upon Mrs Belknaps fall and disgrace makes
the following remarks Lying is another
offense which is estimated very differently
from the standpoints Of men and women, and
comparatively few women consider the charge
of lying of sufficient moment to demand n
retraction and apology. But man of honor
regards such a charge AS lasting imputa.
ton"
Is this true aud just? We have been ac.
custOmed to take different view Of this sub
ject. A decidedly bad woman Is undoubt.
eddy as dangerous as the worst of men, but
as class, are not women even more consci.
entious and reliable than men Is not the
religious element more strongly developed iu
woman than in man This must be conceded,
and a. all practical virtues are based upon
religious sentiment, we should expect to 6ud
her more sensitive to the charge of falseness
than man. Aud still further this view is
sustained by the fact that the criminal classes
are made up, by large majority, from men.
Nor do We believe that even Mrs. BslknAp
is more guilty than her husband.

Plymouth Church and DR.. storr,.


And now Rev. DR.. Storrs has taken Of.
tense at the action Of the recent advisory
council and has resigned his official position
as president Of the Home Missionary Society
and Congregational Union.
He is grioved because the council was
composed mostly of Beecher's friends be-
cause il disregarded the rules established by
the previous councils because the council
supported Plynouth church in dropping
Bowens name from the list Of membership
without due investigation because It upheld
Plymouth church in rejecting on its own
responsibility the proffered counsel Of sis.
ter church; because it held that II could set
aside the rules Of the previous council and
establish now pOlty Of Congregational com
munioa which should determine the question
Of fellowship, aud because Il supported a
novel method Of investigating Mr.. Beecher S
case and one so unknown in manner Of pro.
codure and in the limitation OF its functions
that he could not place confidence 10 lts IN
tegrity or impartiality.
This is the substance Of his grievances
II is new information to many that the Con-
gregational church had any very definite or
binding rules to regulateits conduct. The re-
suit Of the deliberations of council are gener.
ally supposed to hold until the next one meets
Whether the last convention Of ministers con.
sidercd itself regular council or not we dc
not know. However that may be it seems
as though DR.. Storrs had strained at gnat
and swallowed a camel. Plymouth church
seems very Indifferent as to the action Of the
rest of the Congregational body, and it i
quite probable that she had IA soon be an
independent church as anything else

Daniel Drew.

Daniel Drew, or "Uncle Daniel" as he is
Familiarity called by his brother stock jobbers,
has yielded to the pressure of the times and
has now 6led his petition in bankruptcy.
This is great surprise to the country be-.
cause he has been considered one Of the 6nan.
cial rocks. His case Only confirms the prov
erb that, "riches certainly make themselves
wings; they fly away as an eagle toward
heaven" 1--WE put it all in to fil out the
sense, but we have doubts about the applica-
ton Of the last five words.l
Drew is prominent Methodist and has
made large gifts to Methodist institutions.
He endowed Drew Theological Seminery at
Madison, n. j. with $3.50, 900, aud Wesley
an University at Middletown, Conn, with
100000. These endowments are secured
by mortgages on his farms in Putnam county,
n. j. Ills total liabilities amount to about
million and half dollars. He claims to
have lost heavily in railroad investments in
few years past, also by the failure of the
firm of King, Cox Il Co., brokers, in which
he was partner. The immediate cause Of
his failure Is ascribed to shrinkage in stocks

We can hardly agree with our correspon.
dent Equality" If he means to say that
property outside Of a village should be taxed
to sustain village institutions. A thriving
village makes real estate in its vicinity more
valuable to be sure. and farm life more
pleasant, but if the village is taken away
entirely the farms around would not be
ruined nor much the less valuable to carry
on while, if the farms surrounding the most
hourishing inland village in Now England,
not largely supported by manufactures,
should be made barren wastes, the village
would completely dO out. 1t would have
nothing to keep it alive, aud it couldn't live
upon itself great while. The profits of
farms build up the village and support it.
The village does not improve the farms
except as it puts the conveniences of civilized
life in proximity to them. 1t is said that
the village furnishes home market tor
farm produce, and so it does TO some extent,
but every person that eats butter aud meat
makes enough out of somebody to pay for
that butter and meat, and also for his iron
and cotton. Whatever is consumed or ex-
pended in village must come out of the
producers of something, somewhere. Ira
ding, preaching, law giving, bank
ing, insurng, ETC., all necessary pur-
suits, do not produce anything, but
are ever consuming, and whatever they con-
sumo must be paid for by producers No,
we should say, let the village sustain itself
III legitimate way or else not have wants
it is not able to supply.
