To the boy or girl fresh from a course of
Oliver Optic, or other Misunderstanding juve-
nile fiction, and ignorant of government af-
fairs, the Presidents message would furnish
but dull reading. Read under the direction and
with the explanations of an intelligent teach
er, it should prove not only instructive but to
have interest to the boy who expects some
day to be a President himself, which no
ancient history can possess. To read the mes
sage is to understand what subjects most
concern our congressman and statesmen,

is never likely to be lost.

ANNA DICKINSON.

Miss Dickinson has not a friend or admirer
in the country who did not rejoice when the
announcement was made that she had de-
cided to abandon the stage and resume the
role of lecturer. There is no more pitiable
spectacle than that of man or woman who
obstinately persists in trying to be something
for which nature and education has untitled
him or her, and neglects the paths of glory
and success which, to all eyes but their own,
lie plainly open before them. AS lecturer,
Miss Dickinson has record of past successes
which has not been equaled by any other
woman in the country. The pith and power
of her political speeches during the stirring
times of civil war are remembered by all. In
those days, when she boldly proclaimed
what many brave men hardly dared to think,
there were no questions discussed as to
woman's inferiority to man, politically or
otherwise; but campaign leaders were glad
to enlist her services at almost any price
At one period of the war she was paid 500
for every speech, and $500 for the closing

and others equally prominent as leaders of

Congress and the assembled dignitaries of

conquests, it has been most astonishing that
Miss Dickinson would condescend to "toil

represented by mediocre success on the stage.

ADMIRATION RIPENED INTO AFFECTION.
Rensselaer, Republican.
Our admiration for the Indianapolis Jour-
nal has ripened into absolute affection, and
we read it each day with ever new delight.
1t is fine, clear-cut, heightened paper It's
news columns give all that ought to be given,
and leave out all that ought to be left out,
better than almost any other paper we could
mention. Its editorial columns are marked
with wit, wisdom, integrity and high purpose.
Its literary features are especially note
worthy. Indianapolis is really one of the
chief intellectual centers of the West and it
is through the columns of the Journal, more
than any other one medium, that the liter
airy genius and culture of the city finds ex-
preston. We counsel our readers, if they
are not already readers of the the Journal
to become so Immediately. If you can't af-
ford the daily-or haven't time to read it,
which is more likely the case-then take the
weekly. Its cost is merely nominal, but its
value is beyond calculation.

BEST PAPER IN THE WEST.

The indianapolis Journal is the best paper
for Indiana readers in the West, and we

you not enter into the spirit of the contest

more here than there; and that there
