RTOne week from tomorrow the
people OF three townships in this county
vote Oh the proposition 70 aid the Mar
row Guage Railroad Company by two
per cent TAX. This i the most equitable
wa ~ aiding any great public improve
mcui, a. then every one pays only in
proportion 10 their benefits. We can
not let the opportunity pass without
urging all friends of progress and en-
lightenment TO remember the time, and
work and vote for the appropriation.
This county has untold sources 81 latent
wealth, which from their nature will
not De developed until better means OF
transportation is secured, but which
will then place her in the front rank OF
counties in the State in both wealth and
population, and add to the prosperity
and consequent happiness OF every citi-
zen living within its borders. Should
not every one then labor to secure these
benefits to himself and family, when a
feasible proposition is offered? The
proposed Narrow Guage costs bu,
little more than half as much as the Al
foot guagc, and i consequently within
the means OF those interested, If they
will but unite, TO build aud own par.
ticularly since the Presiden; Of the com.
pany. DIR. &. d. Pearson, says he la:
secured sufficient subscription to iron
and equip i, when prepared for The

OF those interested along the line. i
enough can be raised alsng the line L
grade i, we might. under shesc circum
stances, be sure Of having . railroad con
nectior with indianapolis, and all Tho
rest Of the world within year.
AT all events, there il nothing lost b,
voting the aid asked, as you pay moth
ing without the road, according to tn,
provisions Of the present law, and 70,
show the all-important fact, in the esti
nation Of the enlightened world. tha
You are In favor Of progress and publ,

Lives of Saints

To day We commence publishing short
summaries of the lives of Saints, one for
each day in the week. 1t is q serial reprint
of an excellent little work called "Minia
ture Lives of the Saints" This particular
series was originally compiled for the use
of the Brothers of the Little Oratory in
London, aud consisted of separate small
clips of paper with q sketch of the life on
one side, and on the other an appropriate
motto, anecdote and text. In the present
form these are bound together making a
small volume which would constitute o
desirable addition to every family library.
The life of Saint affords the most de-
sirable reading that can be presented for
general perusal. Properly written it com
bines the solid instruction of 9 sermon with
the interest of a romance, and charms the
imagination, while it teaches some valus-
BILE Lesson in the great science of life. The
science of law is best learned, not by the
mere study of abstract principles OF enact
ments, but by the attentive examination of
practical csses in which those principles
have been applied and used after the most

the came way only, and the same can be
truly said of all human sciencee.
Why then should We wish to depart from
this law of our intellectual structure in the
most imp rtant of all sciences, that of our
spiritual lifef The real meaning of Christ's
precepts lie best learned by examining the
practical application given to them by emf
nent practical men. The Interpretation of
these men has been formally approved by
the Church and set before the faithful az
q correct exposition Of the law. And
not only is the meaning Of the law just
ly rendered in these grand exemplars but
its beauty, its charm, is delightfully."- pre-.
sented as well whenever details true to life
are pictured. Virtue is made known, not
only in its strength, but in it's grace. 1t
convinces and captiVates at the came time.
The little sketches which we present,
though necessarily deficient in detail, will
be found, nevertheless, quite entertaining
reading.

This World and the Next.

Our Northern papers are becoming greatly
exercised over the question of the next life,
that is, the disagreeable eide of it. Hitherto
their attention has been principally direct
cd to bacon, cotton, manufactures, finance
politics and secular interests generally.
This world afforded ample scope for their
gigantic intellectual powers until Beecher's
unluCky sermon on He'll came to intrude its
irrepressibie problems upon an easy going
fraternity. "To be or rot to be" is now
the engrcssing topic of journalism, the in
vestigation being chiefly directed to the
unpleasant features of the future state.
1t seems that Beecher, after all, has not
boon leading the tide, bat following it,
Carefully posting himself in the salient in
tellectual novelties of the day, he re -bashea
them into a savory Sunday dish with the
addition of certain characteristic epici-
nees peculiar to himself. His late n otable GER
mon appears to have been revamped from
one recently delivered in Westminster
Abbey by Canon Farrar to the same eff
feet. Not only so, bat the san in forms us that
snumber Of other very distinguished North
ern preachers-divines, So called-have re-
Gently renowned their lifelong supersti-
ton on this subject and openly discarded
the doctrine of eternal punishment. The
names cited are those of Rev. Drs. Burton,
Blauvelt, and Merriam. Besides whom,
Rev. DR.. Porter, President of Yale College,
aud Rev. DR.. Hopkins, ex-President of
Williams College, have recognized the in
stallation of q minister who openly reiects
tho doctrine. They thus virtually put it
beyond the pale OF orthodoxy, and they are
considered the two great lights pGy czeel-
'cnce of New England CoDgregationafism
Or PuritAnism. The Sun ASSERTS that very
loose doctrines on the subject, formerly
denounced by the COngregationalists as
hereticsl, are now tolerated among the
clergy of that sect. Under the circum-
stances the Sun thinks it the duty Of ortho-

dox Protestant clergy, whatever that may
meao, to define their positions Immediately
ca this important point
We think so too and should be delighted
to see them do it, provided it were hon
estiy done. In this regard we should pot
now have az much apprehension as would
formerly have been prudent. Your Pro-
testant minister follows the current and
trims his thrifty sail to the wind. He is
manfufly In favor Of private Interpretation
| aud, therefore, is particular not to shock
| the private Interpretation of other people,
that is if they contribute to his salary.
The current of the day is liberal--very.
The intelligence of an age which proudly
recognizes the steam engine, the rail road,
the telegraph, the telephone and the pho,
tograph as its own, sees no particular advan-
tage in such q place as Hell. 1t is uncom-
Portable and calculated to arreet progress.
A literally inclined parsou may speak out,
therefore, without danger of dauage to his
income. In fact, Beecher must find it to
pay, or he wouldn't do it.
The great, bold leaders do speak ont
now, and the herd will soon follow euis. Lit
tie by little every vestige Of the frag ments
of faith brought by Professionalism out of the
Church will disappear from among the great
bulk of every non-Catholic population,
until finally not individuals enough will
remain, of those holding on to any great,
distinctive Christian truths, to leaven the
whole mass. That will be the virtual ter
mination CT the mighty modern beTesy,
though remnants OF it in the shape of OBJ
scure and illiterate communities of fanatics
may for ages be found here and there hold
ing out with al obstinacy often remarked |
in history.
Such an ending is oct natural to a creed |
basipg itself on the right of private inter
probation. 1t gives human frailty too good
IN excuse for laxity. Every Christian doc

Before 1870, Prussia boosted of having the
best school system in the world; now, after a
short period of eight years, it may boast of
having nearly undone the work of several pre-
Cedtng generations. It is, indeed, astonishing
to see how rapidly Prussian schools have de-
clined' both in number and efficiency, since
Bismarck began his war of determination
against religious communities and their ex-
cellent schools. From statistics -pablished by
the SilesiG" Sek90! Journal we see that in one
district of Silesia alone Cabout two. thirds of
the province) there are no less than 25s schools
without teachers whatever, and 1910 places
not filed mp with qualified masters. Another
ten years of the present regime, and Prussis
will have the worst school system in the
world.

a very interesting case was tried last month
in the Irish Landed Estates Court: On the
death, in November, 1874, of Mr.. Harene, his
property, about &C, eco acres, in Kerry, proda-
cling net rental of s15 900 a year, was ordered
to be sold. Fifty of the tenants dubbed to-
gether and proposed-under claues in Mr
GlSdstone's land sct to purchase the fee
simple of their holdings, but the trustee, Mr.
Pemberton, cold the estate by private sale to o
Mr.. Gentleman, the agent of the property, for
E65,oo0 although even Gz5. 600 had been
offered by the tenantEy. The Judge decided
that the court and the tenants had both been
badly treated. He refused to ratify the sale
assured the tenants their legal rights should
be secured, and allowed them not only their
heavy law costs, bat also their personal ex-
Penses to and from Kerry. Some interesting
evidence was given ns to the rise of property.
In 1852 the County Surveyor valued the estate
st E26 $40; in 1875 it was valued at Gao Ass :;
last March, $50. 900; little later, e57, 600 !;
the tenaLts offered 1000, and it appeared
from statements made in court that q Kerry
born San Franciscan had offered 100000, and
it was further stated that it would realize
100000 This conveys an idea of what for
tune was open to those who had money to buy
Irish estates in 1895.
