the Attorney Generals report which
touches on the star route cases. the
President says that ''if any guilty
persons shall finally escape punish
ment it will not be for lack of earnest
and diIigent efforts on the part of the
prosecution" Commenting in con-
nection with the report of the Secre-
tary of the Interior upon the litter
acy disclosed in certain portions of
the country by the census returns,
the President thinks it mOmentous
question whether Congress should
not extend immediate and substan-
cial aid to supplement individual eff
fort and State legislation in behalf
of education. Upon the subject of
civil-service reform the President re-
calls the sentiments expressed in his
last communication to Congress, and
adds that since these suggestions
were submitted 1.-THE people of the
country, apparently without distinc-
ton of party, have in various ways
given expressions of their earnest
wish for prompt and definite action.
In my judgement such action should
no longer be postponed" The Pres
ident takes occasion to set himself
right upon the question of official
removals, and that in the fourteen
months of his administration only
eighty-nine removals have been made
exactly the same number made in
the four months of President Gar
fields administration, In connection
with this subject he also expresses
his disapproval of forced contribu-
tons from office-holders, and favOrs
their prohibition by law.-Bdlttmore

The Sunday School Union.

Mr.. MN. A. Baker, superintpn.
dent of the Maryland Sunday School
Union, has issued an address to SIM,
day School superintendent throupb.
out the State urging them to keen
their schools open during the entira.
year. The foil text is as follows:
DON'T CLOSE YOUR SCHOOLS.
AT this season of the year manv'
county Sunday Schools have been
accustomed to closing for the winter.
10 such L would speak a fraternal
word. Why do you close at all g? This
is a matter too vitality important TO
be governed by custom, and no school
should be closed at any season with
out most cOgent reason. There NAV
be some, but only a few, who close
from actual necessity. There are few
sections OF all the State where travel
is so impeded in winter that the secu-
lar schools cannot be regularly kept
up. In fact, in the country, the win
ter is deemed the child's golden OPP
portunity for attending school. Yet
at this very season the Sunday School
Is in many instances set aside. This
is an acknowledgement that the Sun
day School is considered of minor
importance. This is a most serious,
inASf1ll0h of ~, ho
itual interests of the children and.im-
pairs the growth and efficiency of the
school.
am inclined to believe that this,
step is taken generally more for the
convenience and comfort of the adults
than for the benefit of the children,
and that the latter especially if the
school be live, interesting one,
would be found, if consulted, to op.
pose = suspension. Take vote and
see if am not correct.
The Maryland Sunday School
Union have found the custom of
closing schools during the winter
such a hindrance to the advancement
of Sunday School work that it in
structed It's missionaries to use every
pndearOr to have the custom aboI-
i-hed. Through their instrumental
lty quite number Of schools kept
open last winter, and the result was
Il much better school in the spring,
and the fallacy of closing was so clear
y shown that they determined to
avoid the error in the future. The
union makes this additional appeal to
other Sunday Schools TO make a SINH
lar trial.
Friends look well to your Sunday
Schools; much depends upon its sue
cess. Satan is as vigilant and active
in winter as in summer. He is reach
ing out after the little ones, Ifyou
desire to save them from his grasp
and make them blessing to the church
and to society, you must be vigilant
and active too. The Sunday School
Is mighty power, If rightly c0nduc-
ted, in shaping the characters of the
young. Eternity alone can tell the
immensely of the mistake Of closing
its doors for a single Sabbath.
AT the late convention in Wash
ington county, this subject was wrlE
discussed, and there was such general
appreciation of its importance that ~
resolution was unanimously adopted
that 1t was the sense of the conven-
ton that Sunday Schools should not
be closed at any season Of tie year.
pray that the spirit of God may
incline yoa to prayerful c0nsidera-
ton of this matter.

Governor Hamilton will, it is under

3 days.
Oh, dear Marion, you have left us,
And your death we sadly mourn,
And your spirit shining angels
To the realms of bliss has borne.
In your dreams you had vision;
You thought you'd crossed the river cold
And that with your own dear Grandma,
You had walked the streets ofgold.
You have left us, dearest Marion;
Your bright smile no more we see;
Though you often suffered sadly,
You were always filled with glee.
Farewell, Marion, how we miss thee;
How can we your absence bear;
But one thought will still sustain us:
We shall meet each other there.

irritated the German government.
Berr Won Hirrcbfield representative

the Porte cannot undertake military in

1t has only itself to blame for the perms-

time of the Crlmean war when Turkey
