MIR. IRWIN LAS A PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITY"

1t would seem that man SO con-
spicuously honest and conscientious
as to return to the government a
salary which he felt he had not
earned ought to be in more prom>
inent place than governor of a Ter
ritory. Governor John N. Irwin,
of Idaho, might be trotted out as
presidential possibility. He GER
tainly possesses quality rare enough
to entitle him to distinguished COM
sideratiou.-Chicago Herald.
This of course was written with
out any knowledge of the real facts
in the case, which are, that Mr.. IT.
win did not let his conscience trouble
him until public attention had been
directed by the Fort Madison Demo-
crat and the Gazette to the re-
markable circumstance that the
governor of Idaho during some eight
months service had only been at his
poSt of duty one 1Oeeh, and that the
people of the Territory were be-
ginning to make search and inquiry
for their executive. The case was
so glsring and outrageous that it
must soon have called for Congress
siOnal investigation, and consequent
scandal and damage to the record
and reputation of an ambitious
Congressional aspirant.
Mr.. Irwin returned some of the
money he had never earned, but the
remarkable fact remains that one
quarters salary was retained al :
most three months by him, and I'M
til after his conduct had been eX-
posed in the public press, before his
conscience was touched sufficiently
to make restitution of that sum and
to declare that be could not accept
the installment about to fall due.
All praise of Mr.. Twins action
should be tempered by the know
ledge of the above facts.
Again "the Governor of Idaho" is
supposed to be anxious to appear
before the people of the First Iowa
District for Congressional honors
and it was no doubt apparent to
him that one week of duty in that
Territory, coupled with the pocket
ing of the whole years salary of
| $4,000, would not be very favor
able public record. That being SO,
doubtless he found it to be policy
to refund his unearned salary. This
at least, is the way some republicans
are disposed to put the matter
They unhesitatingly assert that the
whole thing is not a matter of con-
science so much as it is an endeavol
to start "boom'' on the score Of
honesty.
Mr.. Irwin has done both an honest
and polite action. He would have
lifted himself above criticism BY
months ago returning his salary anC
resigning his office-Burlingtor

that has made it successful and
powerful in the past.
The Times has no party to follow,
no candidates to advance, but will
meet every issue, as it has ever
done, with consistent devotion to
the right, to honest government,
and the public welfare. And, while
maintaining its posi- ion as the lead
ing journal of Philadelphia, it will
aim to be continually in the ad-
vance in all that can add value to a
newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not
in its size or display, but in the in
telligence and care, the cOnciseness
and freshness with which it is edl-
ted. The Times spends lavishly for
news from all parts of the world,
but all its dispatches are carefully
edited and condensed, in order to
give the complete news of the day
in the most concise and attractive
shape, and with it a large variety of
entertaining and instructive read
ing The best writers at home and
aoroad are employed to enrich its
columns, and to make it a journal
adapted both to the busy man and
to the leisure of the home circle, a
welcome visitor to intelligent and
honest citizens of every political,
religious and social taste.
The Weekly Times is altogether
different from the weekly news
newspapers of twenty years ago.
The day of those papers is gone by.
The telegraph and better local
newspapers everywhere, especially
in the thriving centres of rural pop.
ulation, have made the old weekly
metropolitan newspaper unsatis'
flying. Those that cling to
their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our forward-moying
people; they are but shadows OF
their former greatness, and they
have but shadow of their former
power. Those papers have had their
usefulness, but it is gone; and, with
it, they are going, too. 1t was not
the fault of the papers; 1t was the
improvement of sthe country that
DIOuSut dcOut Iuc CuduSOs hCA ouo
women, wherever they live, now
require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the
types of every passing week what.
ever has lasting interest to peopls al
large, and sets it before them in
such generosity of paper and print
as would have astoniShed us al
twenty years ago.
DaiZy-Twenty cents a week. fifty
cents a month, Sc a year, two cents
copy.
Sunday-Four cents a copy, So {
year.
Weekzy-One copy, So a year; five
copies, So a year; ten copies, SIS {
year; twenty copies, $25 year
with one copy free to the getter-ul
of each club.

lCOBIMUNICATED.

MIR. EDITOR: There was a Mr..
Britton killed at Mr.. Benjamin
Kelley's Saw mill, on the 22d ult.
He was bearing off lumber from
the saw, and by some means was
jerked on the saw by plank. He
was horribly mangled, the saw
cutting off one Of his arms, and
cutting his body nearly in half in
two places. He was about SO years
Of age. He lived about one hour
and half, and died. 1t seems that
Mr.. Kelley has bad luck at his
mill, as his oldest son was recently
killed there, by climbing up on
the water-wheel, and accidently
falling off. x.

An Ugly Habit.

A habit much to be deplored among
many of our teachers is that of calling
the children names. No child that has
common sense will have any respect for
his teacher if he calls him what he
knows what he is not. Only a few
months ago our washerwoman, q nice,
thrifty woman, told us that her chill
dren's teacher "called them names''
and they did not like it. To tell a child
he is as ''dumb as door-nail," that he
never will know anything" isn't very
likely to stimulate his energy, increase
his interest in knowledge or his teach
ers either. If a teacher has lot of dull
scholars, let him use all the tact and
patience at his command, and if he sees
no good results follow, then let him not
resort to abusive language or turn
prophet, for somebody may come after
him who has gift for making things
plain, and instead of "never knowing
anything" those stupid scholars may
yet know much. Let it be far beneath
the dignity of any teacher to 'call
names" or use slang.

two-thirds of the photograph with

rendered transparent by soaking in
