ACCORDING to DR.. Treves, exact or
scientific study has tendency to deaden
and sterilize the poetic faculty. Dealing
constantly with stern facts and well-defn-
ed mental processes, renders all organic
zation in the nervous centers more per-
feet, promoting distinctness of ideas, a
more exact method Of thought, and that
general structural condition which is un-
favorable for the display those mental
qualities which the poet must possess.

Mr.. HEvERIN is one of Cassiday and

Philadelphia. His idea that newspaper
rivalry had anything to do with Sena-
tor Bayard's advocacy of a single gold
standard is as perfectly ridiculous as the
putfs of some of the brokers' organs are
about the Senator's influence at Dover in
the late Convention. The single gold
standard did not get single vote, OF
the contrary the Convention was as pro-
nounced as 1t could be in favor of a
double standard of gold and silver. If
Mr.. Heverin means anything it is that
the Senator was influenced in his course
by no-party paper; which that papers

KEEP Your TEMPERs, PLEAsE.-We
insist upon every man being careful OF
what he says to-day about the polls. Our
Democratic friends will bear in mind
that they are dischargiDg great duty
although it may not seem so; but they
are taking the only course by which we
can determine who is to be chosen by the
popular voice of the party to be our
city Chief Magistrate. Be careful how
you speak Of your opponents friends ;
say nothing unkindly. Be courteous to
each other as you struggle for success.
Remember you are all brother Democrats
all love the grand old party. Don't
disgrace it by exhibitions of i'll temper,
bad manners or ugly broils. The candi-
dates are all good men. We would al
most guarantee the election of either
when fairly nominated. Let all things
be done honorably and openly.

that political power, and not industry and
pursuits adapted to the condition of our
country, are the true sources of wealth
and prosperity. We have reason to hope
that honest Communists will see that
there is the most want and distress to-day
among factory operatives who have been
protected into poverty by government,

them would now be owners of farms

MAKING GAME OF CAMP MEETINGS
There is class of people who pretend tC
belong to the small potato aristocracy
who constantly visit camp meetings, ant
not unfrequently make sport of those
who are laboring at the Lords work iT
such manner as experience teaches tC
have been the most successful. These
people themselves are not so offensive as
is the example they set, certain young
men and boys who have not profitted by
the instruction of parents and ape the
more assuming people. If we had a
county constable or two that was not
imbued with the spirit of evil these bad,
riotous scamps would soon find their
level. 1t is for their good that the plous
labors of the camp meeting people are
continued. We hope some day to have a
Levy Court that will remember that the
Church people have some claims upon
their attention, and that some regard will
be had to the character of the men APP
pointed. L. would be we'll to appoint
several active, able and fearless men con-
stables in the several Hundreds where
camp meetings are held to meet this very
contingency. Men who would not have
the office except for this purpose, and to
act only during the camp season, should
be selected.
Camp meetings and other extra efforts
of the Methodists have done world of
good, insomuch that through these efforts
that church has risen to the very first rank
in the country. Its ministers excel all
others in education, in force of logic and
in oratorical success. 1t is too late for the
church organizations which
the Methodists have so far outstripped to
attempt to ridicule them. Her Neumans,
her Todds and her Hills, are giants in
eloquence and logic. Look at the results
of these peoples works; class their ele-
CANT churches in this city and the number
of them with the churches of those
who fancy themselves above the work.
ing people, and draw your conclu-
sions; in elegance and in art they excel;
while the congregations in neatness and
intelligence are equal to those of any
other church. Those who made game of
this church twenty-five years ago have
lived to see it here as in almost all other
places rise to power and influence. Just as
the religious, prudent and laborious boy
is sure to advance, it has advanced. Its
conflict with the world is an irrepressiblt
conflict and it triumphs daily and hourly
its people are better and its sole object i.
to make you better. And this is true O.
all church organizations; but the way,
that have been made sport of have prov
ed most systematic and most effective il
rearing men and enabling them to max,
good citizens and taxpayers. 1t il
therefore the bounden duty of the author
tiles to protect this church in is efforts.
