We we're in the county jail on Mon

We we're in the county jail on Mon
day aftornoon-not because we were
compelled to be there, but simply on a
vislt-and we were surprised to find
the cell doors, and the main entrance
door SO insecurity built. We will
wager IS that with small file we can
get out of the Jail room in just fifteen
minutes. The bolts that fasten the
projecting arms to the body of the
door, are in the same condition that
those fastened to the staples were. but
have lately been fixed. Now is the
time to have them made secure. 1t
will cost the county probably SIS to
replace these small bolts and it will
make the jail almost secure. There
are the windows, that ought to have
some protection il the shape of high
iron fence, with the rods in such
proximity that man or woman could
not pass their hands betwee the rods.
Then we know of no weakness in the
| Jail unless the Sheriff give the prisoner
the keys, which has never been the
case, and we hope never will. Now /:

As a movement has been started
whereby the business men Of Centralia
and Grand Rapids can unite together
and do great good for both themselves
and the two cities, it is hoped they
will take right hold of it, and
push the work to grand success. 1t
will take but little money from all
interested business men to advertise
these two cities throughout the United
States but it will require from each
some little spare time of personal effort.
There is no way of learning the
full benefit of such advertising. The
city Of Appleton to-day stands high
among business centres, and is gener-
ally known as manufacturing city
with an almost unlimi led amount of
water power which is easily controlled.
This marked progress in their history
during the past ten years is due to
judicious advertising, as we contem-
plate doing here. Let US all take hold
and give our mite towards building
up these two cities.

Licenses.

The Observer having inspected detailed
list of the liquor licenses granted in New
York during the year ending on the Both of
April last, is moved to remark as follows
" The total is 9075, and the receipts $780,
All. There is probably a sufficient number
which are not licensed to bring up the ag-
gregate to the round figure of 10000, This
prodigious curse can be removed only by the
legislature of the state. And we venture to
say there is no question in politics or
finance, in trade or commerce. so important
for the welfare of this city as this very mat
ter of licensing the grog-shops. The Chris
tian citizens of the city and state should
take the matter in hand and spend the en-
tire autumn in securing such legislature
as we have not had for many years, one that
will wisely, conscientiously, and faithfully
legislate on the liquor question. We have
not in this state public sentiment that will
support and enforce prohibitory law, if
one should be enacted, but we are advanc.
inS in that direction. There is, however, a
deep and intelligent conviction that the Ii
quor traffic imposes on the community the
great bulk of its taxes for the support of
paupers and the punishment of crime. The
government is bound to spare the people
these burdens, and that it can do by abolish
ing the cause"

Ignorance Incompetent to Object.

Some of the most noted assailants of the
Bibles claim to inspiration have been re-
markably ignorant of the contents of the
book of books. Strange as this statement
may appear, it is indisputably true, and
with thinkers is wondrously damaging to
their assaults. DR.. johnson says that David
Hume admitted to a clergyman in the bish.
opric of Durham that he had never read
with care even the New Testament.
Thomas Paine was once questioned as to
his knowledge of the Bible His reply was;
/ keep no Bible" Carlyle declares that
Voltaire's testimony against Christianity is
worthless, because of his ignorance of the
subject against which he testifes--that he
ardently and with long.continued effort
warred against Christianity and the Bible,
without III derstanding, beyond the mere
the Bible teaches. HALEY, the astrono-
mer, once avowed his skepticism in the
presence of Sir Isaac Newton. The ven.
cradle scientist replied Sir, you have
not studied these subjects and have. Do
not disgrace yourself as philosopher by
presuming to judge on questions you have
never examined" This is wholesome adj
vice TO modern scientists, the observance of
which would sweep from the minds of
many their groundless disbelief of the
Scriptures. If the thinkers who have
doubts respecting the authenticity of this
book would lay aside their prejudice and
give it careful examination, doubtless
they would be driven TO say with Coleridge
know the Bible is inspired, for it finds
me at greater depths of my being than any
other book."-Selected.

Sunday Laws.

Senator Sherman, in his recent speech at
Columbus, Ohio, summed up his views
and those of the republican party in that
state as follows "The Sunday-law must
either be enforced against the liquor-seler
or it must be abandoned as to all other EN-
Payments of life. The people of Ohio
must now determine whether liquor may be
sold on Sunday and whether all business vo-
cations and employments of life may be
pursued freely aud without let or hindrance
on that day. 1t would be infamous for the
law to deny to the mechanic, the artisan,
the trader or the laborer the right to earn
his daily bread on Sunday, and yet allow
with impunity the open exposure and sale
of liquors of all kinds on Sunday as well as
week day or night. 1t is not advisable for
those engaged in this business to force this
issue. A tolerant public opinion may wink
at violations of Sunday laws or liquor laws I;
but when this violation is demanded as
right, in disregard of day of rest that is
sanctified to the religious and is deemed
wise by the legislature, they will create a
reaction that will lead to injustice. don't
want to see this made political question
but if it is, am in favor Of the ways of our
fathers-of the sanctity Of one day of rest,
when the secular employments of life may
be suspended and each for himself may wor-
ship or rest, sing or pray, or wander in the
woods or gather around the hearthstone
with the children and the old folks, to spend
the Sabbath day according to their faith
and their conscience"

Enforcement OF Law.

The Methodist touches upon the practi-
cal problem of how to secure the enforce
ment of prohibitory and Sunday laws in
cities where the authorities refuse or neg
lect to act /: A" Cincinnati, Ohio, and Topeka,
Kansas, are two towns in which the question
is now living one. In Cincinnati, it is
also great puzzle. For Topeka, the Kan
sas Methodist suggests two solutions, one of
which seems quite simple and feasible. 1t
is for citizens near the saloons to bring suit
against the authorities for permitting a nui-
sance. If the local court proves also to be
infected with the whiskey influence, per-
sons whose business is injured could take a
change of venue, and then, says the Metho.
dist we have an idea something would come
TO pass Another solution, which appears
not quite so practicable, because it would
have to be reached indirectly, is for citizens
to combine and refuse to pay any further
taxes into the treasury, on the ground that
no equivalent is rendered. 1t believes that
the matter could be so clearly put before
any righteous judge and jury that citizens
would be sustained under the circumstances
but this would require an equitable con-
struction which the court might not be
ready to grant. Other solutions are order,
in order, for the liquor men must not BIO al
lowed to defeat the people"

A Pointed RetOrt,

That was well-pointed thrust made by
Attorney General Brewster at the noted and
boastful infidel, Mr.. Robert lngersoll, in the
star route trial which has Just closed at
Washington. In his plea for his clients,
the defendants in the case, Mr.. lngersoll
drew pathetic and moving picture OF the
woman at the foot of the cross, and by
means of it stirred not little the sympa-
thies of the Jury and the spectators of the
court. In the very able address with which
the attorney-general finished his part OF the
case, he made but one allusion to lngersolPs
religious beliefs, and that was in referring
to what he had said of the cross and its at
tendant scenes. Mr.. Brewster declared that
"a man must believe in the illustrations he
makes and what" said he, has Col. In
gersoll to do with the crucifxion The
question is certainly pertinent one, and in
the light of candor and honesty, or in that
of good taste, we would be glad to know
what Mr.. Ingersoll and his followers have to
say in reply. What right has he at one
time to declare his utter disbelief in the
Bible and its teachings, to make them the
subject of profane wit and blasphemous
ridicule, and at another to call in their aid
to stir the most sacrei feelings OF the soul,
and secure what ho claims to be the ends OF
Justice and humanity Mr.. lpgersoll claims
to be gentleman, man OF honor and to
be candid in his convictions and his utter
ances but we submit whether, in the above
case, he did not give the lie to all such pro
fessions. A man of honorable feeling, a sin
cere man, does not appear in two characters
utterly diverse; he does not at one time en-
dorse what he at another denies. Mr.. Inger-
soil furnishes another illustration of the old
truth, that infidelity is not and cannot be thor
oughly honest. 1t walks with its back to
the light, and knows it does so. This man
may be blind, but if so we are confident
that he is wilfully blind; and if the blind
lead the blind, they shall both fall into the
ditch Selected
