Not for Tilden and Free Trade.

Gen. James C. Clarke, formerly of this county,
but for some years past president of the Illinois
Central Railroad was in Baltimore last week. In
conversation with several gentlemen he was asked
his opinion of Democratic prospects and posi-
biities, when he said
81 have just had talk with Senator German.
He talks about Tilden as candidate. l think
this Tilden talk is all nonsense. We can't elect
man like Tilden. He is too old, and the people
know il and if we nominate him they will con-
slider us party of imbeces. If he is nominated
and good man is put up against him, L shall
vote for the man who runs against Tilden, and
there are five thousand other Democrats like my
self in Illinois. Thurman is the man with whom
we can win" Speaking of the Morrison bill, he
said: "Findlay appears to be the only Democratic
Congressman fro ~ho unprecedented
what were the true interests of the Democratic
party. He voted right when he voted against the
Morrison bill, and did the best thing for the DEM
ocratic party. 1t will never succeed on free
trade platform"

clined in intelligence. That would be
sad reflection upon our schools and col
leges Nor is it true that there are not
living issues which can be better treated
from the platform than in any other
way. The decline of the course was
due, no doubt, largely to the fact that
men prominent in other callings were
imported from eastern cities, sometimes
from beyond the sea, and put on the
platform at fabulous prices. They were
out of their place. While in their own
element, they could soar on the wings
of the eagle, on the platform the bird
of the sky walked, halted and stumbled.
Then, again, if a man or woman hap
pened to be crank, this individual
was styled a reformer. The platform
became his or her sphere, and from
that vantage ground, under the name
of scientific lectures, the home was as
sailed, attacks were made on society,
on government, on the Sabbath, on
orthodoxy, religion, and on law and
property itself. And yet we know not
any reason why in every town of from
1000 to 5000 inhabitants, a course of
lectures could not be made to pay cx-
penses, and then pay also in some sense
as the school or the church pays. We
are glad to notice signs here and there
which indicate that there is to be a re-
vival of the genuine lecture course.
Not to mention our large cities and
towns, many of which provide each
year their course of able lectures, the
smaller places are taking up this mat
ter in a most commendable way. AT
Platville, Wis, and Winnebago, ILL.,, a
course of lectures has been maintained
for years, not only furnishing enter
tainment of high order, but paying
expenses and leaving a handsome profit
for the committee. When we consider
the demoralizing shows that have dis
placed the soul-inspiring lecture, we
cannot help the feeling that it is the
duty of every Christian citizen to take
up this matter and see what can be
done. After many years observation,
we are satisfied that responsible lee
ture bureau can solve this problem in
many community. We know of a num-
Der of lecture bureaus which we can
most unreservedly commend, and, de-
parting from our usual custom, we shall
be glad to answer any questions on this
subject We need scarcely remind our
readers that we have no financial inter-
est, no connection, directly or indi-
rectly, with the management of any
lecture bureau whatever. We write
simply in the interests of the public"

citation will hold its annual meeting in
Montpelier January LIST, I'd and Sd. We
have not yet seen the list of subjects
for discussion, names of speakers or the
general order of exercises. WeSsup-
pose, of course, these will all be of a
character to sustain, and we hope in
crease, the very active interest which the
meetings one and two years ago aroused.
The association is the main stay of ed
ucational life in the common schools of
the state. Practically ignored by the
state, through this agency they may be
saved from retrogression and, possibly
may make head against adverse in
fluences. Let the teachers and the
friends of the common schools, es-
pecially the leaders and the strong men
in the cause which most directly affects
the welfare of the state, come out.
Their labors and their counsel is needed
