The Observer quotes and comments

The Observer quotes and comments
as follows:
President Chadbourne of Williams
College said to the Massachusetts
teachers at their recent meeting: eff
all moral and religious education is
neglected, we shall some day be swal-
lowed up by corruption. We want
the same deep sense of responsibility
and moral honesty that the Puritans
possessed, though we want by no
means to go back to those days. Ed.
ucation does not consist in mastering
languages, but is found in that moral
training which extends beyond the
schoolroom to the playground, and
which teaches that meaner thing
can be done than TO fail in a recita.
tion."
These just sentiments are gradu.
ally working their way into the public
mind. The Republic cannot endure
unless we have q basis of public viz.
tue. and to this end the State, if it
educates, must teach more than let
tiers and figures. 1t is worse than
foolish to talk of turning religion out
of the public schools. There are deep,
pure, eternal principles which all good
men hold, and these are to be incul-
Gated above all else, if right educa-
ton is given.

THE Fish Commission is in some

failure. The Commissioners the refo, Q

were killed by sprinkling them with
prairie muck dirt aud putting salt in.
to their troughs. This treatment
was recommended by Mr.. DoLsman,
former Commissioners but was not
applied in the way intended. Mr.. G.
Hutchinson, of this.county, signs the
circular but according to Mr.. Welch
dissents from its general spirit. There
have been three years of experiment,

Commission was more successful with
Lake Michigan white fish and trout.

late law, they can have them by ap.

No License Success IN Clifton.

Last year the question of license or net in
Clifton, was brought to an issue at the polls.
The Temperance element was successful.
Since then, the interest being sustained, il

The vote was one of the largest ever polled
here. The good effects Of stopping the legal
sale Of intoxicants are manifest in the whole

by those who attempted to defy the law. 1t

looms. 1t has kept the youth out ofthe saloons.
It has aroused public sentiment-that potent
factor for good, If properly directed-te a
knowledge and conviction of duty in a mat

of the liquor interest, pointing with unerring
certainty to the source of its nourishment and
power May the the knowledge gained be
turned to service in the future. 1t has shown
temperance workers their strength and their

looms. READER.

Observations About The Herald.


Mr.. EDITOR:
Grant me little space il your
valuable columns 10 which to quote
the reasoning and conclusions OF
some of your ex.patrons. They said,
1.-The HERALD's teachings are perni-
'cious, it's statements untruthful, it's
arguments are selfish, narrow and
'deceitful. In its bearing it is pedan-
tic and egotistical. 1t ridicuies re-
'ligion, makes light of temperance
and calls pbilanthropic class fools,
'demagogues. 1t aims to overthrow
freedom and make serfs Of the CON-
mon people. 1t is an organ of mon
'ey lords, gold gamblers and bIoated
'bondholders. We need county news
but its influence is 80 demoralixipp.
and it il such vile sheet that our
conscience upbraids us for allowing
1t to enter our family circle. there.
fore we cannot support it any long,
Ter. We want paper whose aim
shall be to promote the welfare of
'th Q people, regardless Of party
class or scot. One that will strike
out boldly for the right, and at all
times maintain its position with sub
lime purity and truth"
Your correspondent admired their
public spirit; his inner part yearned
toward them for their unselfish love
of humanity md the high moral
character they aimed to display. Un-
hidden the lines. No life can be
pure in it's longings and strong in it's
strife, and all life not be purer and
better thereby; ran through his
mind and he, comparing his own
barrow mindedness with their gen.
srous manhood, stood abashed and
mute. The weeks glide by. No

ment of the working classes, war,

humiliation Of the Federal Govern
ment. They pity the tramp-no,
the "Gentlemen.that.can't. find ,vork,"
and claim that the helish deeds

A BRITISH DISEASE.

The most marked popularity that will inn
press the American traveller when he walks
the streets of London for the first time is the
great number Of Excessively fat people whom
he everywhere meets He at first supposes
that these persons belongs to the nobility, on
the same principle that he would pronounce
them aldermen or bankers when seen in New
York or Boston. In brief he labors under the
popular though mistaken impression that ODE

illness an high living; while in reality it is a
constitutional disease. Until very recently
there was no known remedy for this untom-
Portable disease aud its victims we're obliged

GRATEFUL WOMEN.

None receive SO much benefit, and none are
SO profoundly grateful and show such inter
est in recommending Hop Bitters as women.
1t is the only remedy peculiarly adapted to
the many ills the sex is almost universally SUBJ
ject to. Chills and fever, indigestion or de-
ranged liver, constant or periodical sick head
aches, weakness in the back or kidneys, pain
in the shoulders and different parts of the
body, feeling of lassitude and dependency,
are all readily removed by these Bitters.

ought to kill two birds with one stone.
There is Indiana, for instance, which

that State for Grant and, who knows
but that State will elect the President?
