Kyle Sem mary commencement.

EDITOR FREE PRESS Kyle Seminary,
the pride and the. hope of our sister town,
has Just closed her first annual commence
ment. The launching of a school upon the
waves of destiny is ever noteworthy event.
And the infant strides Of a young institu-
ton are always watched with anxiety and 30
licitude. What the flexible and mobile wa
ters of the ocean are to ship, the uncertain
movements of public sentiment are to
school The same strong waves that help
the young vessel seaward, and that hand her
on to glorious ports, may be turned to the
arms of demons and press her down to the
depths of silent desolation. One fact should
be borne in mind by all lovers of education,
it is, that every human success is achieved
only through combined sympathies. No
ship can make a successful voyage unless
wind, and waves, and stars help her on in
her course. No school can attain great and
lasting results unless he who holds tho helm
has helping hands at every oar.
Whether through sentiments of sympa-
thy or curiosity, great audience gathered
at Kyle on the night of the 9th of June, to
witness the closing exercises of the Semina-
ry. Through the skill and attention of the
gallant young gentlemen who acted as ush-
ers, seats were provided for the vast audi
ence. The graceful department and atten-
tive behavior of these young gentlemen
will not be forgotten by anyone present.
The salutatory address delivered by Miss
Mamie Lou Kelley, was a rare and happy
production. The other young ladies-and
the boys too-did remarkably well. The
The music pupils especially, showed thor
oughness and efficiency in drill. The
smaller students did their parts nicely and
gracefully.
This exhibition had been preceded by
three days of examinations, which were sat
isfactory to the patrons. 1t was followed
next evening by reunion, when many
hands were shaken and a few tears shed.
Another year of work and trial now lies
before the faculty-the same as were in
charge last year, with the probable addition
of teacher in art. 1t is to be hoped that
the past success is but dim presage of
of what is yet to come. Surely Kyle Semi
uary will soon become great factor in the
moral and intellectual progress of the rising
citizenship around her. CYRUS

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-General managers
and freight agents of railroads running
northwest went to Milwaukee to meet Mr..
Merrill and the Milwaukee g. ST. Paul
officials for the purpose of ratifying the
traffic agreement recently decided on
there. When the report Of the commits
sion of freight agents was submitted it
was found that clause had beeu inserted
by the Milwaukee & ST. Paul that passenger
business be included in the agreement.
This created much ill feeling. it is said the
claim being made that the passenger bust
ness was not at all contemplated, and the
meeting adjourned without reading the
agreement. Another meeting will be held
in Chicago tomorrow or Thursday. 1t is

once, war on Northwestern and Council

The Amalgamated Association Decides to
End it-A Loss to the WOrkmen of Eight
to Ten Million Dollars.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 19.-District
meetings of the Amalgamated association
were held to-day simultaneously in this
city, Wheeling and Youngstown, at which
it was decided to withdraw all demands
made June 1st, and present the old scale to
the manufacturers for their signature.
The meetings were largely attended, and
the vote was as follows: Pittsburgh,
eighty-one for the old scale
and twenty-seven for compromise;
at 1915; Youngstown, As for the old scale.
$3.50, and 8 for $5.75; Wheeling. II for
$3.50; IS for compromise. Total, 146 for
the old scale, SO for $5.75. This virtually
ends the strike, as it is believed the manu-
facturers will sign the scale and resume at
once. A conference of manufacturers and
a committee of the Amalgamated associa-
ton will take place tomorrow, at which
the scale will be offered to the former and
other details settled. The strike lasted
JIG days, and it is estimated that the loss
to men in wages is between $S,000,000 and
S10,O0O,000, while that to the manufacture
ers is only conjecture.

THE NEW COMET.
Appearance of the Heavenly Monster a
Seen by the Astronomers.

ROCHESTER, n. Y, Sept. 19.-Dr. Lewis
Swift, director of Warner observatory, is
receiving messages from all parts of Amer
lea claiming the discovery of a large
naked-eye comet now visible near the sun.
The doctor says it is the same comet re-
Gently discovered moving west, and is not
the comet of 1872, but non-identical with
any known comet.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The new comet
was watched at the naval observatory this
afternoon, and was found in right ascen-
sion eleven hours, nineteen minutes, thirty
seconds, declination twelve minutes north.
The comet was easily seen with the naked
eye,and exhibited short tail with bright
head of considerable extent. In the tele
scope the nucleus shows confused mass
of bright light, indicating large comet
with plenty of loose material. Extending
on both sides were bright areas of light,
presenting the appearance of bird with
outstretched wings. The comet was seen
at Nice, France, about noon September Is.
1t is almost certain that tho comet has
now passed its perpihelion. The comet
to-day at o'clock was nine degrees west
of the sun, and will probably have increas-
ed this distance by sunrise on the
Goth by twelve to thirteen de-
grees. 1t will therefore, rise
somewhat before the sun, but, owing to
the fact that it is also further south than
the sun, it will not be readily seen before
sunrise. In few days, however, with its
present rate and direction of motion, it
should become brilliant object in the
morning sky. On the whole this may be
regarded as one of the most extraordinary
comets of modern times. The only one
which resembles it in it's special features
of interest is the great comet of 1S43,
which, like this one, was visible to the
naked eye in full sunlight. Barnard's
comet was also observed at the naval OBJ
servatory this morning at 4 o'clock. Its
right ascension was hours 81 minutes,
and declination II degrees Al minutes
north. 1t presented the usual appearance
of telescope comet, with slight central
condensation.

TIE Illinois liquor dealers, in session at
Rock Island, take very gloomy view of
their future. They refer mournfully to the
adoption of prohibition legislation in
Iowa and Kansas, and to the progress of
prohibitory sentiment in other states. I'm
less this is checked they fear spread of
the crusade. which will be ruinous to their
business. 1t cannot be questioned but
prohibition has made gigantic progress
within the past few years, but the liquor
dealers are themselves to blame in large
degree for it. They have assumed to be
the governing power of the country-have
run caucuses and conventions to suit them
selves, dictated candidates to both parties,
and in other ways made themselves obnox-
ions. They have uniformly opposed what
they now advocate-the regulation of the
traffic by: judicious license system,
which shall compel saloon-keepers to
maintain orderly and respectable
resorts and drive from the trade the keep
ers of low doggeries that are such polite
promoters of crime and habitual resorts
of criminals. They can do more to arrest
the march of the prohibitory movement
by removing the Objectionable features OF
the liquor traffic than by attempting to
lord it over political conventions, and we
are glad to see that they are coming to this
way of thinking.
