Is it not as we'll to support home
institutions as foreign? Cannot bus
mess men better afford to support a
local paper and sustain a good and
creditable citizen as to invest in en-
terprises from which no local benefit
may be derived. A faithful local pa
per will do as much or mole for the
locality in which it is published than
any enterprise ever conceived.
Then how important it is that the
citizens of any locality, that fortu-
nately have a paper, support it, not
only financially, but with friendly,
interested encouragement. When
this plan is adopted rural newspapers
will take on a higher character;
marked improvements will be notice
able in all local interest and no sus-
pended papers will be reported.

1t is said that q large majority Of
the members OF Congress are opposed
to throwing any obstacle in the way
of the resumption Of specie payments.
We shall therefore have the advan-
taees and disadvantages Of resump-
ton practically tested. This is the
only way TO tell who has been light
and who has been wrong. Many Of
the opponents Of resumption still be-
lieve that 1t will be impossible to

concluded TO give it trial. We
have, as our readers are aware, al

which experience teaches will benefit

A correspondent Of the Winamac
Republican few weeks ago made
the following sensible remarks in re-
gard to county papers:
The matter of publishing newspa-
pers is one that receives too little at
tention at the hands OF the public.
The publisher could relate to an in
terested listener facts, and figures,
and trials, deprivations and struggles,
that even 10 the inexI erienced would,
upon fair consideration, appear as
stupendous obstruction to happiness
and success. How little do the read
ers appreciate the labor OF the editor
TO give his patrons readable, inter-
estiIg, newsy issue. They receive il
as result OF little or no effort, not
that il Is The fruit OF a day or weeks
careful consideration and toll, min
gied with discouraging prospects,
half pay, and finally is the actual
monument OF the editors pride and
not the result OF a well supported
worker, These remarks apply 10 the
average county papers, and perhaps
TO a Few metropolitan publications.
How speedily the public seize upon
the failure or paper and contemptu-
ously allude to its demise, not for a
moment realizing that the commune
ty is to blame in ninety-nine cases
out OF every one hundred.
The majority OF metropolitan pa
pers are but the selections and com
pilations OF daily editions, ani can be
published for most Insignificant sum
above the actual cost OF tns blank
paper. This is urged against country
papers, that this or thai city paper is
only Sl.00 per annum, and ii is larg-
er and better paper; and right here
is the mistake in the public from the
following reasons: First, nine
tenths or the country weeklies< give
the leading or impoI tant news and as
much as the average citizen finds
time TO carefully read and ponder up
on. Second, a county or home paper
Is a constant builder and improver of
It's locality and its power to benefit Is
gantic institution for good, even if it
be the case that it's work cannot be
seen. How hard would it be to fol-
low successfully the advancement OF
child-to point out where it learned
this or that thing, and harder still to
point out the influence OF home or
local paper. but its influence is one
OF the most real and substantial NOR
al engines that society can have,

The bill prepared by the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, reduc
Ing the salaries OF foreign ministers,
Is said to be meeting with much OPP
position from prominent officials at
Washington. who Claim that the pres
ent salaries are a5 low as Will proper
ly support the dignity Of those posi-
tions. 1t is our opinion that the man.
and not the salary, should dignity the
position. 1t is proposed to reduce
the salaries Of ministers OF the first
class to $4,000, and second class TO
$4,000 aDi $1,000. Let the reduction
be made regardless or the opinions of
these dignified officials. Ii the wages
Of the laborer aud mechanic are re.
duced, and the price OF everything
produced or manufactured Is reduced,
there is no reason why the salaries OF
foreign ministers should not be re-
duced.

Hon. James l.. Campbell, Of Charles
ton, South Carolina, was an Indepen-

gress at the recent election. The
same methods were used to beat him
that were used TO beat Republicans.
He has employed experts and gath
cred great deal of evidence, which
he proposes to give to any Demo-
cratic newspaper that desires to pub
lish It. He says: Il believe the Dem
ocracy of the country have at least an
aqual interest with the Radicals in
denouncing and exposing the frauds
that have been committed, and 1 con-
ceive it to be my duty to give to my
own party. rather than to our oppon
ents, the benefits of any evidence l
may have in my possession. 1t will

A few days ago the Secretary OF the
Treasury issued brief order to the
Assistant Treasurer at New York, di-
rectiEg him to issue no more gold
certificates. This is done in prepar.
alton for resumption OF specie pay

this action changes the whole situa-
ton. and that hereafter those who
deal with the treasury will be COM
PEELED to treat gold as money. In
January the government will pay out
about s22,ooo-OOO. accruing interest
on bonds. This large sum will be
paid, not in gold certificates. but in

The teachers of West township met at
the West school house, last Saturday, for
the purpose of holding an institute. The
programme was one prepared By the Su-

and wished to bring certain topics before
the notice of the teachers. The principal
topics were written analysis in arithmetic,
working with reference to some object and
''how to spend your time from 80 to o,
IN" The first gave rise to quite an ami
mated discussion. The majority of the
teachers were opposed to having written
analysis, only in advanced classes The
Superintendent thought that 1.-The how
should be taught first and then 1.-THE
why" The Superintendent thought that
during each month we should work for
some end or object. That we should frame
our daily questions with the monthly ex-
aminations. The last topic ELECTED good
deal of sport, The half hour spent in the
morning by the teachers were various

and one which will doubtless elicit
considerable discussion, will be that
Of providing another method for the
election of President and Vice Presi-
dent OF the United States. Senator
Edmund's bill, which was reported
by the Committee last May, provides
that the Presidential election shall be
held the first Tuesday in October, and
that the electors shall meet in each
State on the second Monday of Janu-
AIRY following. thus giving ample time
to decide questions Of disputed cleo
tions. Each State is empowered to
settle such disputes in its own man.
ner. Congress is to open and count
the electoral votes on the second
Monday in February, and no electoral
vote can be rejected except by the
concurrent vote OF the two Houses;
but II there are two or more returns.
it shall require the concurrent vote OF
both Houses to receive and count one
OF them. There will no doubt be a
number Of other plans presented, but
Congress will hardly adjourn without
materially changing the law for elect
ing President.
