Word From Captain Harmon.


 The following, which we are informed was refused publication in the Register, opposes some statements made in that paper concern ing the amendment to the charter offered by Captain Harmon, and shows that MT. Har- mon does not want any policeman unjustly treated. It also states what he really did say concerning the removal of Chief Allen. To the Editor of the Register
 It is not often that care to notice any misrepresentation or falsehood published in your paper regarding myself, but the article in the Sunday Register headed 'tEx- Chief Allen Talks Back" places me in such a po- sition that feel bound to correct some of the misstatements contained therein. Your reporter knew perfectly well that l stated plainly at the last meeting of the Board of Aldermen that I had no intention or desire to introduce anything into the charter revis- ion which could in any way prevent any member of the police force from having full hearing on any charge preferred against him. He also knew that l (not Alderman DriscolD offered an amendment to my own amendment, providing for the fullest hearing in all cases Nevertheless you saw fit to fal- sify the facts and make it appear that l de- sired a star chamber commission.
 Your reporter knew equally well that MT.

 Now, I do not desire either notoriety or political preferment. Were I seeking of- flee nothing in my judgment would further advance my interests than to be roundly abused by the Register and newspapers of like char acter at their convenience, but under the cir cumstances I must ask you to either let me alone, or stop distorting my statements.

Newspaper Advertising Bureau

Advertisers who want to reach the people of a State must advertise i'm the best papers printed in the leading towns.
 There is a constant call upon us to
 make B selection for advertisers and to name favorable prices at which adver- Iising may be secured.
 There is a wide difference between the prices demanded by newspapers for an advertisement to be inserted a month and one which is 10 appear for a year. Experienced and successful advertisers contract for the longest period; but there are many who are prevented from doing this by the nature Of their advertisements, or because the adver- tfsement is one which they wish to try experimentally before making cOn- tracts for any extended time.
 Bearing i'm mind the wants of adver- tisexs we have agreements with lead- ing local papers in every State by which we insert advertisements for . single month at prices appr0ximating the yearly rate.~-=.
 So great is the reduction from regular monthly rates, that advertisers do not understand how the advertising can be secured for the price which we name. For instance: in the State of COnnectI- cut. a list of IS selected Daily and Weekly papers, which would cost Ss5.17 if contracted with singly. we are able to offer for S26.

 The Iowa Senate has passed bill fixing a
 fine of $2,5O0 and two years imprisonment | as penalty for grave-robbing and making an l attempt to rob punishable the same as an l actual robbery. This is not bit too severe, | and will doubtless have good effect in pre- 1 venting the peculiarly repulsive crime it is aimed at.
 The Republicans in Indiana are harmonious and enthusiastic. The Congressional district l conventions held last week showed the party to be in excellent working condition. Disaf- fected Republicans are returning to the party.
 Indiana has now six Republicans in Congress, and it is thought that with acceptable candi- dates in the next election they can easily carry seven districts and perhaps eight. There is g rush for nominations on the Republican State ticket.
 MT. William H. Vanderbilts investment in Government bonds has turned out to be a profitable as well as safe one. According to the Treasury books he is now owner of thir ty one million five hundred thousand dollars of registered four per cent. bonds. It is said that he purchased twenty million dollars of these bonds at par. As their present market value is 1O7, MT. Vanderbilt has already made profit of one million four hundred thousand upon his investment. This does not include the amount paid him for the years in terest, which is eight hundred thousand dol lars more.
 The astrologer Zadkiel hit the mark in pre- dieting the Czar's peril in his almanac and al- so the accident to the Princess Louise.

 The Rev. Dr. Boardman, of Philadelphia, Baptist, comes out in favor of parochial schools. ''The Constitution of the United States" he says. guarantees absolute free dom of conscience; accordingly, to force the Bible on the non Christian, or the Protestant version on the Romanist or the New Testa- ment on the Jew, is an invasion both of the Constitution and also of the rights of con- science. Right of conscience is not thus a question of majorities or physical force. So long as the Church abandons to the State the work of educating the nation. the expulsion of the Bible from our schools is only ques- ton of time" Therefore, he argues. the only right way to educate the children under religious auspices is to do it in schools main- tained by the churches.

 sOur Common School System" by Gail Hamilton, is, it is needless to say, very sprightly and readable book. It contains, also, some sharp criticism of the way in which the common schools in cities are con- ducted, and though the author is not always just, she hits the mark often enough to make her criticism well worth reading. She spitches into" high schools vigorously. "As it is," says she, ''the State does neither one thing nor another. It does not confne itself to be- slowing upon all the education that it re- quires of all. Nor does it bestow upon the few whom it selects for especial training any, thing to be compared to the education be- slowed by private academies and colleges. It complicates the school system, increases it's expense and exposes it to hostility, and after all leaves it's few benefciaries far below, ri- diculously below, the pupils of private institu- tions Every argument that applies to the State support of high schools applies equally to the State support of colleges" The book will be popular with teachers, for it contains vigorous protests against things that hamper them.

sion of friendship by way of donation.
A handsome one, too. We believe it
had right royal ring. Still waters often
have depth and treasure; so quiet
friendships. The work must have been
done quickly and quietly, as we'll as
handsomely. Manner Of collection we
know not Manner of presentation,

of reception, statue like, motionless
and speechless. We would have spo-
ken had there been d shadow of hope
of satisfactorily expressing All appreci-
alton; frightened then, lost now. We
cannot pay for true friendship with
the clap trap of thank you" and
"gOOd wishes" If into the "thank
you" we throw our soul, it may convey
an appreciation; yet such a "thank
you" must live in the beyond; live in a
manliness of life and purity of charac-
ter worthy the confidence reposed in
us, and the friendships declared. God
help us so to live.
