Wig Should John Sherman raw the
Bills?

Asa story discreditabIc to Mr.. John
Sherman, our esteemed contemporary, the
IaDaes. published the fact that the bills of
certain Delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton were paid by Gov, Foster of Ohio out
of his own pocket, payment having frst
been refused by one Warner Nj, Bateman
Sherman manager.
We are not thoroughly up in the code of
honor governing the peeuDiary relations
of Republicans candidates with tho Re
publican politicians voting for them in
convention. We suppose. however, that
the bills referred to were not bills directly
for votes but bills for railroad. hotel, and
other expenses while going to vote, voting,
and returning home again,
So Batemane of John Shesmans mana.
gers. declined to pay these bills, while
Gov, Charley Foster, another of Sher-
mans managers at Chicago. put bis hand
in his pocket and met the dcfcit2 That
was generous in Foster. but we fail to see
why the facts is discreditable to Mr..
Sherman. as, as our esteemed contemp or-
arc pIainlyEdeclares.
Probably Foster, who made large for"
tune in calico during the years of the civil
war when calico was high. could better
afford to pay these bills if they had to be
paid. than, BatemaD, about whose fnan-
DIAL condition we are not informed.
The Times further declares that Bate
man set up the plea that since Sherman
had not received the nomination, he should
not be held to the payment of the bills.
That seems to US an excellent plea. Why
should John sherman pay them. whether
be received the nomination or not?
Does the Times mean that il is the
custom among Republican candidates for
the man who gets the votes to loot the
bills? II so. there is still less reason for
looking to Dir. Sherman for the money.
Up to certain point in the proceedings
the supposed Sherman delegates voted
steadily for Sherman. under the leader
ship of Gen. Garfield and Mr.. Charles
Foster. Then. still under the leadership
OF Gen. Garfield and Mr.. Foster, the sup
posed Sherman delegates gave their votes
to Garfield, thus bringing about the nomi-
nation OF the latter.
1t seems eminently appropriate that
the cash should come out of the pocket of
Garfield 8 next friend. Foster. and not out
of that Of John Sherman, who got nothing
at Chicago save melancholy experience

What will YeuDO When Efer
nifty Comes ?

At the Lake Bluff Cam p-meeting
Rev. J. w. Caldwell related the follow
ing:
In my native State there was a cer-
tain town remarkable for its wickedness.
The few Christians there seemed pow
erless to stay the torrent Of lnrquity
that swept the place. One summer a
camp meeting was held in the neigh
borhoOd. Among the converts was
poor, lltcrate fellow, called Tim
Hutchins, the FOOL who went to the
meeting out Of curiosity, but was most
wonderfully saved Of the Lord. When
he got back 10 that wicked town-for he
was a citizen of fit-hls soul was stirred
within him. He ran from house to
house, opened the doors without knock
ing, and thundered out that awful
question, what will you DO when eter-
nifty comes?'
On he went, up one street and down
another, with all his might. No other
words did he speak, but What will
you do when eternity comes? COnvic.
toms arrows flew thick and fast. The
people remembered God and were
troubled The few Christians, stirred
into activity by their strange ally, sent
for a minister A mighty revival fol-
lowed. and 4 great harvest of souls was
gathered and within the memory OF
the speaker shat profane and wicked
community was reformed, a church
built, large congregation and Sabbath
school-all the result Of that heaven
sent messenger, who startled them
from their slumbers by the question,
What will you do when etertiny

How to get Wealthy.

You can probably be rich, my SOD,
if you will be. If you make up your
mind now that you will be a rich !man,
and stick to it, there is very little
doubt but that you will be very wealthy,
tolerably mean, loved a little, hated a
great deal, have big funeral, be blessed
by the relatives to whom you leave
nothing, But you must pay for it my
son. Wealth is an expensive thing. 1t
costs all it is worth. If you want to be
worth million dollars it will cost you
Just a million dollars to get it. Broken
friendships, intellectual starvation, loss
of social enjoyment, deprivation of
generous impulses. the smothering OF
manly aspirations, a limited wardrobe
and a scanty liable, a lonely home,
would be expensive; a hatred of the
heather, dread of the contribution
box, haunting fear Of the Woman's
Aid Society, a fearful dislike Of poor
people because they won't keep their
misery out Of your sight, little sham
benevolence that is worse than none;
oh, you can be rich young man if you
are willing to pay the price. Any man
can get rich who doesn't think 1t too
expensive. True. you may be rich,
and be a man among men, noble. aud
Christian and grand and true, serving
and blessing humanity, but that will be
IN spite of your wealth, and notas a re-
suit of It. 1t will be because you al
ways were that kind Of a man. But i
YOU want to be rich merely to be rich,
if that is the breadth Of your ambition
you can be rich if you will pay the price
And when you are rich, son, call around
at this Office aud pay for this advice,
We will let the interest compound from
this date,
