PREACHERS.

On announcing the appointment of
new Methodist preacher for Palatine,
ILL.,, The Enterprise, published at that
place, volunteers the following advice
| to the new conner:
"Will the reverend gentleman for
give us if we state candidly that one
of the ways to attract Palatine people
to church is to preach short sermons,
say thirty to thirty-ive minutes,
Short sermons, a full house-long SER
mons, an empty one"
There is a great deal of common
sense and knowledge of human nature
in the above paragraph. There are
but few clergyman who have the
ability Except on some more than
ordinary occasions) to hold an au-
dience from three-quarters of an hour
to an hour with profit. Short sermons,
logically arranged, well compacted,
without redundancy Of words, are far
more profitable and edifying than
long ones. Clergymen who preach
er tempore are more apt to spin out a
sermon tiresomely chan those who use
manuscript. AS general rule, ideas
are expressed in manuscript in fewer
words than in eG tenpoTe speaking.
Still to speak well eU tempore is a
desirable qualification for clergymen
and others. 1t has sometimes hap
pened that the most eloquent passages
have been uttered eXtemporaneously,
on the inspiration of the occasion, but
this is not often. There are some
clergymen who apparently believe the
greater length they are capable of
protracting discourse the, higher will
be the estimate formed of their ability
by their hearers. Some of the ablest
theologians have expressed the senti-
ment that the preacher who does not
succeed in arresting the attention and
interesting his hearers during the first
ten or fifteen minutes of his sermon,
the balance of the time he occupies is
thrown away. There is no class en-
titled to more respect than ministers.
They will find no fault with kindly ex-
pressed sentiments as to what their
hearers believe will best contribute to
their usefulness.

Prohibitionists are beginning to
realize the fact that law to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors can be
passed by the Legislature and en-
forced, without going through the form
OF securing constitutional amend
ment. Such an amendment alone does
not prohibit ; it requires legislative &C.
ton to give it force. With either
branch of the Legislature or the Gov
ernor opposed to prohibition, con.
stitutional amendment could not be
made available. If the temperance
sentiment in this state is strong enough
to sustain prohibition in any form, then
why not make the endeavor to procure
a prohibitory law at the next session
of the Legislature, and not wait to 90
through five years routine to secure
it in another form If it be said a
legislative prohibition passed at one
session can be repealed by the next, so
it can be said that a legislative act
passed at one session to carry out a
Constitutional amendment can be re-
pealed or so crippled by the next as to
be of no effect. 1t has been claimed,
if a Constitutional prohibition amend
ment were adopted, the Legislature
would be obliged to enact laws to put
it in force. This is a mistake. There
is no law compelling member of the
Legislature to vote for or against any
bill that may come before a legislative
body.

MORE PACIFIC RAILROADS.

This is an age of gigantic enterprise
the men Of wealth are on the alert
where to invest and to increase their
already great accumulations. There
are now three Pacific railroads span
ming the continent, and measures in
progress to build another on more
stupendous scale than any of the pres
ent ones. A new association, embrace
ing number of millionaires, is in
progress of formation, entitled the
Overland Broad Gauge Railroad Com
pany. The road is to run from New
York Bay Ola Chicago and Denver to
San Francisco, connecting with ocean
ships at both ends of the route. 1t is
destined ultimately to be continuous
line of land and water travel around
the world.

We were on Hyde's Flat" on Sun
day, and we thought what a beautiful
street this would be if the owners of
the farms lying thereon only lived on
them and built nice buildings on along
the road We haven't much of an
opinion to express about free trade and
tariff, but we are decidedly in favor of
the policy of having the tillers of the
soil own the lands they farm.
The first job of clover was threshed
Saturday, and it yielded only bushel
to the load.
Our observation shows us there has
been more building than usual in our
town during the present year. When
we get time we will gather statistics,
believing the showing will be credita-
BILE and of considerable interest.
We learn that Elmer Brainard, of
Wheatland, has sold his farm, and has
purchased the Mcintyre farm, near
Wilmot, in this town. We hope this
will all prove true. for Mr.. Brainard is
valuable citizen anywhere.

rs TT LADY, OR rs TT WOMAN ,

rs III LADY, OR rs IT WOMAN
The word "lady' comprehends a
much wider range of woman.kind now
than a generation ago. 1t has been ex-
tending until it has taken in almost all
classes, except washer women, servant
girls and poor people. Where the exact
dividing line now is which limits the
domain of lady" it is difficult to deter
mine. The transition of woman" to
+" lady" and "lady" to woman" depends
on adventurous circumstances. There
is Mrs. James; she resides in genteel
house, is apparently well off, and is a
society woman; Of course she passes
easily for a lady. Mrs. James has a
woman in her employ called Margaret,
and in common parlance a servant.
Margaret is the superior of Mrs.
James, intellectually, educationally,
and in all other personal qualities the
equal of Mrs. James. Is Margaret re-
ceived into the ranks of ladies' So
ciety? Time rolls on and Mrs. James
becomes pecuniarily embarrassed, is
obliged to give up her home and take
a smaller and less pretentious one.
And now what renders the situation
of Mrs. James more perplexing, she
has no trade, never having learned
one in her girlhood days. Besides
herself, she has two children to sup
port. She casts about for some re.
munerative employment, but finds
none which she possesses the skill to
perform, and is forced to the alterna-
tive to take in washing. Now will
the etiquette of society longer receive
Mrs. James on an equality as a lady !?
Suppose a gentleman were heard to
say, the lady who does my washing
resides..at number 10 Union street.
How strangely that would sound in
the ears of self-styled ladies. But the
number 10 Union street is just where
Mrs. James takes in washing, who only
a short time ago was in the front rank
of ladies. What has she done to merit
ostracism? Poor Mrs. James! She
possesses the elements of a lady as
much as she ever did, but who will
now invite washerwoman to gen.
teel party of ladies? That would be
an almost unheard-of phenomenon.
Mrs. James must content herself to
take rank among the washerwomen.
In the meantime her former servant,
Margaret, marries a man of property,
and occupies house handsomely fur
nished; she is now at once voted a
lady, and speedily has many lady
callers. She no longer works for
wages, does not even do her own work,
therefore she is now admitted a lady.
But leaving the sup posititious case of
Mrs. James and her seryant-Woman

STATE ELECTIONS.

Elections occurred on Tuesday last
in thirteen states. The results were
more favorable to the Republicans
than had been anticipated. The over
whelming Democratic triumphs year
ago had a discouraging outlook for the
future, but the indications now are
quite favorable to the return Of Re-
publican ascendancv. The returns are
not official.

The late decision of the Supreme
Court declaring the civil rights act I'm.
constitutional, is likely to produce
greater disturbance in the country
than at first supposed. The newspapers
to considerable extent, treated the de-
cision of no great Importance. They vol
teered advice to the colored people, re-
minding them that they had the mis-
fortune to be born with dark faces,
and that they must bear their ills pa
tiently and live down prejudice. But
the colored race is not now so easily
placated, when equal rights before the
law are denied them. 1t is true the
Court was nearly unanimous in decid-
ing the civil rights act unconstitution-
al, and it is equally true that high legal
authority claims the Court erred in its
decision. The Supreme Court assum-
ed that the power to carry out the
provisions of the constitution in rela-
ton to civil rights belongs to the
States, and not to the United States,
therefore declared the civil rights act
passed by Congress, unconstitutional
This is in contradiction to the decision
of the Court in the case of the Fu-
gitive Slave law. The Northern
states refused to pass laws for return
ing fugitive slaves fleeing to the North
for liberty. Congress took the matter in
hand and passed an act compelling
Northern men to catch runaway
slaves and return them to their own
ers. The authority of Congress for
this exercise Of power was taken to
the Supreme Court, where it was decid-

tive act was one Of the most villainous
