pause], never having heard Of either of
them before. Lauehterl Under Treas
ury appointment we pour oceans 0of
money and accompanying statistics through
the hands and brain Of an ignorant
villager who never before could wrestle
with two weeks washlbill without getting
thrown. [Great laughter Under our Con.
sular system We send creatures all over the
world who speak no language but their own,
and even when It comes to that, 60 wading

lated parts of speech. When forced to it we
order home foreign ambassador who is

send one in his place whose moist ceiling
has perceptible shady tint to it, and then
he brays when we supposed he was going to
roar. We carefully train and educate our
naval officers aud military men, and we ripen
and perfect their capabilities through long
services and experience, and keep hold of
these excellent servants through Just sys-
tenn of promotion. This is exactly what we
hopct to do with our civil service under Mr.
Hayes. [Applause.l We hope and expect
to sever that service as utterly from politics
as is the naval and military service, and we
hope to make it as respectable too. We
hope to make worth and capacity the sole
requirements of the civil service, in the
place of the amount of party dirty work the
candidate has done. BY the time Gen Haw-
lev has finished his speech l think you
will know why we, in this matter, put our
trust in Hayes in preference to any other
man.
Gen. Hawley then spoke for about an
hour and "a half, making very effective
speech, and covering all the leading points
of the campaign

What Gov. Hayes Has Done.

The opponents of Gov. Hayes ask who
he is and what he has done. His splendid
record at South Mountain and Cedar
Creek and all through the war answers
what he did in the struggle for the Union.
His election to Congress twice and to the
Chair of Governor three times over such
eminent Democrats as Pendleton, Thur
man and Allen answers what he has done
before the people. And Mr.. W. d. How
ells--who is not partisan at all, but the
high minded and trustworthy editor of the
atlantic W0nthly-answers in a clear and
dispassionate statement what he has done
as Governor of Ohio.
Mr.. Howells shows that at the begin
ming of Gov Hayes service the State
debt Of Ohio amounted to SIT ,931 ,34l So
and that Gov. Hayes has reduced it ST.
173, 406 O5-the annual reduction being
larger than under any other administra-
ton in the history of the State. He fur
ther shows that Gov Hayes has reduced
the State tax from three and half mills
on the dollar to two and nine tenths mills,
and with an annual saving of 1914, 593
When he retired at.the close of his sec
ond term in 1872, he had reduced the tax
to the rate named-2.9 mills. After his
retirement it was increased, and now in
his third term he has again brought it
down to that figure. But he has not con-
fined his attention to the State tax The
great burden upon the people after all is
the large local taxation which, there as
here and everywhere else, largely exceeds
both State and National tax together. Gov.
Hayes has persstently pressed this sub
ject upon the Legislature, and has thus
succeeded in effecting II reduction of the
local taxation in the State to the amount
of more than SIT 100000. Through his
influence the rule has been established
that local authorities shall not make any
large expenditure without the sanction of
Il popular vote, and he has further secured
the passage of law which prohibits mu-
inequalities from mourning debts beyond
the amount actually in their treasures.
Here is genuine and comprehensive
reform, covering the whole range of prac-
teal financial administration within the
State-and Gov. Hayes has effected it
without making loud boasts upon the
house-tops and the street corners, Instead
of making great professions and accom-
plishing little or nothing, ne has not
Wanted of his work, but has steadily
achieved splendid results. In comparison
with Mr.. Tilden's professions, it is the
contrast of the pure gold with the tin
seled m.-Albdhy (N. y Journal.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

Ralph f. Hoyt, of Chicago, will
lecture this season, on "Retormers
and Reforms Centennial Punkin
Pie" and Civilization and Scalps."
Another religious order has been
recently introduced in the Archdiocese
of Philadelphia Two sisters of the
Order of Poor Clares have been au-
thorized to establish a house in West
Philadelphia. The Order of Poor
Clares is clustered and contempla-
tive order under the strict rule Of st.
Francis, and is subject to the Superior
General Of the Franciscans at Rome.
Before the 9th of March, 1913, it
was not lawful in England for the
common people TO read the Bible in
the English language. On that day
the British Parliament passed an act
declaring "that it shall be lawful to
all men to read the Bible and Testa-
ment in the mother tongue" Although
it is lawful in this country for every
body to read the Bible, a great many
people seem to keep their Bibles only
to look at, or else for the sake of re-
spectability.
Queer state of things among the
Congregationalists of Vermont. There
are 1876 Congregationalist churches in
the state, only siXty-four of which
have pastors. There are fifty-seyen
ministers in the State who have no
churches. The average membership
Of the churches is about 100, but, while
there are "A few large and strong
churches, the majority are both small
and poor, and have to get along III the
best way they can, procuring, week by
week, the ministerial services Of any
clergyman who may happen to pass
that way.
The Rocky Mountain christian
AdD0cate, which is published in Salt
Lake City, says that there is "a new
condition of things inside the Mormon
Church on the subject Of education.
Once there was general opposition to
schools. No one dared breathe a
thought aloud for general education.
Now, not only are many Of the Nor
mon leaders outspoken in favor of free
schools. Notwithstanding brigham
Young, George @. Cannon and others
have taken their stand against them,
but there are found those who, on the
general subject of education, speak and
act more like free men than any dared
to do only a few years since.

Hartford. Conn, Oct /.
The Republican meeting in this city
last night was great both in attendance
and enthusiasm. Beforehand there was q
fine torchlight parade OF Boys in Blue.
The meeting was presided over by Samuel
l.. Clemens Mark Twain 1t was his
first introduction on the political rostrum,
and he was received with much favor.
He spoke as follows;
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-I feel very great
ly honored in being chosen to preside at this
meeting. This employment Is new to me. |

vass before except to vote. The tribe of
which | am the humblest member-the liter
airy tribe-is one which is not given to both
ering about politics; but there are times
when even the strangest departures are jus
tiHable, and such season, ! take it, is the
present canvass. Some one asked me the
other day why il was that nearly all the peU-
pie who write books and magazines had
lately come To the front and proclaimed their
political preference, since such q thing had
probably never occurred before in America,
and why it was that almost all of this strange,
new band of volunteers marched under the
banner of Hayes and Wheeler. | think
these people have come to the frCnt mainly
because they think they see ut last a chance
to make this Government good Govern
to institute an honest and sensible
system of civil service which shall so
amply prove its worth and worthincss
that no succeeding President can ever
venture to put his foot upon 1t. Our pres
ent civil system, born Of Gen. Jackson and
the Democratic party, is so idiotic, con-
temptible, so grotesque, that it would make
the very savages Of Dabomey jeer and the
very gods of solemnity laugh We will not
hire a blacksmith who never lifted a sledge.
We win not hire a school-teaeher who does
not know the alphabet. We viii not have man

ticeship and can prove that he Is capable Of

Lamars and Gordons and Hamptons could
always have controlled, and in not doing
It are chiefly responsible for the situation,
IS plain. During the canvass Of 1868 in
Arkansas, after scores of Union men had
been shot from the BRUSH" Gov. Clay
ton proposed to stop such assassination,
and sent militia into the turbulent coun-
ties. Leading Democrats in those cOun
ties came to him and promised that if he
would withdraw the militia or not send
them where they had not already gene,
they would guarantee peace and the exc
cution of legal process. In every instance
he accepted the truce, and in every in
stance they kept their promise, and the
disorders ceased. 1t is not primarily the
passionate young men," it is the public
sentiment which sustains them, that is
mainly responsible for the situation in the
Southern States We do not forget i'm
proper National appointments and official
misconduct in those States But the pub
lie opinion in them, the sentiment of the
Lamars and Gordons and Hamptons, stig-
matized any Southern man who accepted
National office, and even their Northern
Democratic lackeys licked their shoes by
sneering at Longstreet and Orr as false to
their section and cause.
The circular of the Attorney General,
careful, considerate, bipartisan and strict
ly within the law, provides only for main
tanning order, whether threatened or
broken by blacks or whites, and for secur-
ing an honest election. If that is what
the Democratic party desires, there will
be no trouble. If there be trouble from
any quarter or cause, ii will be corrected
under constitutional law.-Hasper's

Be Patient.

BE patient with your friends. They
are neither omniscient nor omnipotent.
They cannot see your heart, and may
misunderstood you. They do not
know what is best for YOU, and may
select what is worst. Their arms are
short, and they may not be able to
reach what you ask. What if also
they lack purity of purpose and tenac-
ity OF affection; do not you also lack
these graces? Patience is your refuge.
Endure, and in enduring conquer
them, and if not them, then at least
yourself. Above all, be patient with
your beloved. Love is the best thing
on the earth, but it is to be handled
tenderly, and Impotence is nurse
that kills it.
BE patient with your pains and
cares. We know it is easy to say and
hard to do. But, dear child, you
must be patient. These things are
killed 10y enduring them, and made
strong to bite and sting by feeding
them with your frets and fears. There
is no pain or care that can last long.
None of them shall enter the city Of
God. A little while, and you shall
leave behind you the whole troop of
bowling troubles, and forget in your
first sweet hour of rest that such things
were on the earth.
BE patient with your deferred hopes
The heart is sick, no doubt, but sick
hearts must take the tonic of patience.
All that is worth hoping for will come
to the Christian. The hope itself is
put in peril by the impotence that
Weakens and prostrates your strength.
Here also you have no better resource
than patience. You will reach next
year just as soon by taking it quietly;
the end of your preparation for life's
work-your apprenticeship or college
course-will come Of itself. The end
Of all your labor is not far beyond,
and need not be sighed for or impa-
tiently expected. Clad in patience,
you walk in an invisible armor, against
which temptations to repine and MUIR
muir fall harmless. Put on patience
against your hungry hope.
BE patient with God. 1t seems al
most irreverent to counsel you so.
And yet, you know that even against
God you have cried out in your impa-
thence. Your garden did not bloom in
season, or bear fruit i'm abundance,
and in your heart you said. "God will
never reward me according to my
works. He has flowers for others and
fruit even for the ungodly, but me He
leaves in want. When shall my turn
Gomez" BE patient. He has one
time and you have another. Your
time is when you desire; His time is
when you can use. He sees your day
of real want; you see only the hour Of
capricious wishes. For Him and for you
there is abundance of time. His years
shall not fail nor will yours. You
can afford to wait. Be PATIENT
