Rev. A. =.
IXenia Torchlight, Apr. 30.l

Rev. A. j. Reynolds, of Eaton,
Ohio, delivered an address on "our
High Schools" which was a strong
argument in support of these insti-
buttons. Referring to history, and
from its records pointing out the
lives of many great and useful men
in all ages of the past, he set forth
the great value of thorough educa-
ton as it was estimated by many of
the ancients. He spoke of the
thorough education of Moses and OF
Paul, preparatory to their entering
upon their great life work. He call
ed to mind the Jealous care with
which the Pilgrims Of Plymouth
Rock guarded the principles of edu.
cation, and bound themselves to this
support and the advancement Of
learning. In the Bible, the book
which some despise, we find author
ity for our High School system, ant
a strong foundation upon which tc
erect it. He pointed out one by one
many advantages opened TO the
young by this system, and a careful
examination of many of the objec
tons raised against it, and by point
ing out the different classes of PEG
pie who oppose the system, he very
ably reputed all their objections
In short, his subject was we'll handl

Our young friend of "Ihe Key
note" published at New Paris, wants
US to join in the cry for Prohibition.
While we admit half of what he says
is true, we can't do it. We + pub
fishing a paper for a living, and that
question is so thin and thread bare
that we would starve to death on it.
A man might as well sit down and
howl at the moon and think to stop
its progress, as to expect the entire
prohibition of the manufacture, sale
and S of liquors, as long as fer
mentation takes place. Like many
other things in the construction of
this wicked world, it is an unfortu-
nate evil with the human family, and
as the idea of entire prohibition is
impracticable and fallacious, the only
thing that can be done is to curtail
it as much ss possible. We don't
find fault with our young friend, OF
anybody else, for advocating the doc
trine. That is his privilege and his
right. If he succeeds within the
next fourteen or fifteen generations
to come, we would be happy to know
it. But excuse us now. We might
say q word for it after we succeed in
getting the Democratic party in pow
er and arresting robbery ard rascal
ity.

We learn from the Springfield
Transcript that the Republic jour
nal of that city no longer shouts for
Pappy TAFT, and for the following
reasons: First, that Judge Taft had
rented property to be used for a liz
uor saloon. Second, that he made
a speech asserting that a man BELT
tied himself by signing a temperance
pledge. Third, because he is an in
fidel, and, fourth, because he is in
favor of licensing the liquor traffic.
But if he receives the nomination
the "God and morality party" will
support him all the same.
