NOT UNEXPECTED.

The communication from Rev. DR..
Hendy, of the First Presbyterian
church, to the people of his charge,
which is published elsewhere in this
paper, was not unexpected by those to
whom it was addressed, as il was known
that his acceptance of the presidency of
the College of Emporia would render
necessary 9 dissolution of the relation
ship which has grown stronger and
more tender with each succeeding year
of DIR. Hendy's residence In this
city. The case is so fully
and IntelligGntly stated in
the communication named that
nothing need be added by US 10 re-
latlon to the causes which operated In
the formation of the request set forth
therein.
The tie by which Dr. Hendv and his
people arc bound together cannot be sew
cred without sorrow and pain, even in
view OF the splendid possibilities for the
cause of Christian education which
promise To become REALITIES as the Fesnli

1t is said that the public schools are
the poor mans college, and no less true
is 1t that the press is current history,
and not infrequently good "materia-

When DIR. Malthez first called on me
he laid before me letters testimonial
from several gentlemen, some of whom

their names OF word to undeserviDg men
or objects. On the strength of these
letters unhesltatingly gave DIR. MattheZ
the letter which appears In his adver-

Ever since the doctor opened his

been under his treatment, and can, there

The strongest objection TO Grover

hiss no mOthsr-in-laW.
The Irish World very pertinentlY
asks whether Americans should support

"The siIences are three" observed
Longtelfow, and he was right. They
are Ben Butler, saAael Jones Tilden
and john Kelly.
"Our Friends. the Enemy" Is the nsaS

The Mormons, 1t 10 said, had more
missionaries in.the field last year than
the American Missionary Society. 1t 10
no wonder that John Kelly was fioored

It Is estimated that there are enough
men in this country who nrst suggested
Cleveland for president to Ill all the
postohaces IN the land, in the impossible
event Of Democratic success In Novem-

As an instance of skepticism run

claiming that there Is no such person as

The evidences of Grover Cleveland's
