A SENSIBLE BISHOP.

The Bishop of the NJ. +. Church, at
the recent Conference at Rochester,
exlorted the ministers "to keep clear
of all cliques and rings; each man to
he man for himself and act in
dependently. This Bishop is man
after our own heart. We extend our
hand and say, " shake" If the NJ. f..
Church were only wise enough to ap-
ply that rule not only rs to its govern
ment and polity but us to its creed,
it could increase it's membership so per
cent in the next year. That was ex-
actly Wesley's idea. Unity only in
following Christ and liberty III every
thing else The foolish churches have
insisted on analyxing God and announ-
cling his will, and then they have i'll
their lucid intervals of ignorance,
patched up creed and have put the
stamp of the Medes and Persians upon
it and labeled 1t "this can never be
changed"

WHO FYRAtD TIE HALL.

In conversation will, gentleman
recently about the Hall fire, he inform
cd US the wasriR the spsrtnof the
buikaine occupied by Mrs Densmore,
and that suddenly he saw the floor
coming up toward him. This wasn't
the moment of the explosion and he,
with others, Of course, rushed out of
the house. He thinks that there must
have beeu half il keg Of powder placed
under the building. The force Of the
explosion, was SO great that the walls
of tue building were forced out and the
ceiling over the hall mp stairs fell. 1t
is almost miraculous. that no one. was,
killed..
As We have said often before, it is
universally agreed that tile Hall was
deliberately set on fire. It is as clear
a case of arson as ever went into court.
The difficulty is to ferret out the guilty
party or parties. Whoever did it w:ls Il
villain of the FIRST, water; ~ because
nearly all the sufferers were non-resi-
dents and perfectly innocent; of any
local squabbles or entangling local III
liances; ~ because it was an injury to
the whole community in depriving the
public of a town hall; ~ because it
destroyed minister's library worth
81 600 which was uninsured; (4) because
it endangered the lives Of u number of
our citizens by the explosion Of the
powder placed under the building; (5)
because it put the whole town in i'm
minent jeopardy, for single strong
gust Of wind would have fired the
building and then the town
would have gone.
In view Of all this TIE Grand Jury,
at the coming term of Court, will fail
to DO its duty i it does not institute Il
rigid inquiry into the question of who
fired the hall. A most infamous crime
has been committed in our midst, and,
as we have said before, if the matter
is allowed to pass without an investi-
CATION, we deserve to have a guardian
appointed over us by the common
wealth,

The LeMars Sentinel of Thursday

The LcNlars Sentinel of Thursday
last says:
Nearly every name on our subscrip-
tion books was placed their ut the re-
quest Of its owner. Now, to be plain,
ace ,cant our pay. We desire it this
fall, before new year. If any one takes
offeuse vt this. we have no apology to
offer. We will send no bills. We give
this notice, and we expect erery sub
scribcr. except those with whor we
have advertising accounts, t. come to
the Office and pay up, or to remit. We
simply ask our own. If any one does
not wish the paper, let him settle up
what is due, and discontinue like a
man.
Here too. That's the talk. They can
pay Zip if they will. We, however, send
bills out, and to those who take offense
because we have trusted them so long.
we say, ''pay M and stop" Now is
the time to pay. We editors know
very we'll that you can pay if you choose
to do so.

If the Sentinel's subscription books
are any indication, :he people of Mar
tin county are more sorely afflicted
with hard times than they have been
for five years. There are upwards
Of four hundred Of our subscribers who
are delinquent. and who claim that
they are not able to pay. Under this
state Of affairs the Sentinel's financial
outlook is anything but encouraging

IN dealing with the community the
Enterprise has kept its side strictly
square. If any man in town has 4 dol

hundred cents. and will be paid on pre-

Here, too. Our motto has been, pay
as You 80, and we have paid. At the
same time we lave trusted others two
to three years and some of them are
mean enough even then to get up OH
their dignity' when we dun them. If
we pursued the policy of some men of
putting all we get into houses, lands.
ETC.. and looking to the merchant, the
grocer, the printer, ETC., to carry us

The Catholic Review SAWS:

Crime is rampant, and red-handed
murder stalks through the land. And
the criminals, nine out at ten, are men
who have been educated in our public
schools. and learned there to despise
God and to defy his laws.
And yet the Bible is read in our pub
lie schools and many Of them are OPEN
ID with prayer. a large proportion OF
TIE teachers are as bigotedly devoted
to their own church and their own
view of theology as the Catholic is to
his. But the Catholic thinks the Prot
estent is despising God and defying
his laws and the Protestant thinks
tho Liberal "despising God and DEFY
ing his laws, "and the Liberal thinks,
well, he thinks what poor fools these
church wranglers are, and that in all
nations whatsoever worketh righteous
ness and feareth God is excepted of
him.

The resignation of General manager

day the road has been steadily coming

This change, of course, need not de-
lay the extension nor put the road back

THE YELLOW FEVER.

About the time of the outbreak of |
the yellow fever, the ADVANCE, COM
menting on the filthiness and Incidence
Of the Southern people, said that the
general government ought to take
the matter in hand and enforce cleanli-
hess ard sanitary reform in the South.
Anu now comes the Charleston &C..
s. c. News and Courier and calls for
\ national convention to devise a pan
by which the occurrence of such a
pestilence hereafter would be rendered
morally impossible. " And it thinks
that, If the power of the general
government should be requisite to car
ry out the plan. then Congress should
take the matter in hand and pass the
necessary laws.
Even then, we question whether the
plan could be enforced unless some Ben
Butler were appointed health officer
at both New Orleans and Memphis.
Butler ought to be presented will, all the
silver spoons in Louisiana for his work
in cleaning up New Orleans and teach
ing the people how to keep out the
yellow fever. But they cursed him,
called him ''tmef'' and ''beast'' and
spat on his soldiers for condescending
to be scavengers, do their dirty work
and save their indOlent and cOmpara-
lively useless lives. 1t may not be just
the time to indulge in such reflections,
when the South is stricken with pcsti.

tested North for relief. but we cannot
help thinking how patient, long suffer

MY BREAD ON THE WATERS

Mister" the little fellow said,
"PIedse gimme dime to buy some bread"
turned to look at the ragged form, -s
That, in the midst of the pitlless storm,
Punched, and haggard. and old with care,
In accents pleading, was standing there.
Twas little boy not twelve years old
He shivered and shook in the bitter cold,
His eyes were red-with weeping fear
And adown his cheeks there rolled tear
Fen then.
His misery struck me dumb.
Twas street in crowded city Slum,
Where an errand Of duty led my feet. r. as
That day, through the storm and binding sleet.
Poor little fellow!" at last said.
"Have you no father?
mo, he's dead!"
The answer came. You've mother. then %
Yes, sir" he said. with sob: "shes been
Sick for year, and the docl or said
She'd never again get up from bed,
s'You are hungry too p asked, in pain,
As looked at his poor. wan face again.
Hungry he said. with bitter groan
That would melt to pity heart of stone;

1--WE havn't had q crust Of bread
Me, nor mother, nor baby Kate
Since yesterday morning
did not Wait
To ask him more. Come, come,"I cried,
'You shall not hunger and at my side
His poor little pattering footsteps fell
On my ear with sadness cannot tell.
But HIS eyes beamed bright when he saw me stop
Before the door ola bakers shop,
And we entered.
Now eat away, my boy.
As much as you like said. With Joy,
And soft expression OF childish grace.
He looked up into my friendly face,
And sobbed as he strove to hide tear;
"Oh ifmother, and bab by Kate were here p 50
| "But, eat" said never mind them, now"
A thoughtful look stole over his brow,
And 10 from his face the joY had fled
what! while they re starving at homer he said:
''Oh no, sir! I'm hungry, indeed It's true,
But cannot eat till they've had some too"
The tears came rushing-T can't tell why
To my eyes, as he spoke these words. Said T.:
"God bless you Here, you brave little man,
Here. carry home all the bread you cam
Then loaded him down with loaves, until
He could carry no more. I paid the bill;
And before he could quite understand
Just what was doing, into his hand
slipped a bright new dollar; then said
Goodbye" and away on my journey sped.
Twas four years ago. But one day last May,
As wandered by chance through East Broadway,
CHEEKY voice aecosted me. Lot
Twas the self same lad of years ago,
Though larger grown-and his looks, in truth
Bespoke sober, industrious youth.
Mister he said, ''I'll never forget
The kindness you showed when last we met.
Iwork at a trade and mother is well,
30 is baby Kate and want to tell
You this-that we owe it all to you.
Twas You don't blush, sir thatheped us through
In our darkest hour; and we always say
Our luck has been better since that day
When you sent me home with bread to feed
Those starving ones in their hour OF need"
