breaking Up.

On every hand we see evidences that winter Il
breaking up, and will soon have TO yield to the
advancing spring. 1t Is most important ques-
tion amongst scientific men what causes the
general feeling of debility and lassitude 80 prcva
lent I'm this region While some regard 1t as the
result of confinement and inaction, Others sup
pose IL to be caused by the decay of vegetable
and danimal debris which has saccumulated during
the winter. What Is especially needed at this
time however, Is some thing to overcome these
Influences IL Is too late to talk about the causes;
what Is the cure Thousands of persons all
over the country who have given KidneyWort
Il faithful trial ready to testify that no other
remedy IN equal TO IL for cleansing the system,
purifying the blood, regulating the bowels, and
curing all kidney and liver diseases, II Is In

A wrongly Abused Jury.

Short, who stabbed Phclan, was convicted
by the newspapers at once. All the ac-
counts of all the reporters represented 1t
as cold-blooded attempt TO murder. The
jury that tried Short, however, acquitted
him, and the testimony printed in the
New York papers as it was presented before
them justified their verdict, for it showed
that Phelan was the aggressor and had I'M
dertaken to kill Short, but Short got ahead
of him. It is true this testimony for the
| defense may have been false. But so may
| Phelan's in fact Testimony was introduced
| to show that he was not worthy of belief
under oath.
But now the New York journals, which
got the story SO wrong when they under
took to report IL, are very much excited
about the verdict. The prosecuting Off
GERS and the Judge are also enraged. The
latter discharged the jury, telling them he
had no further use in his court for sucl
jurymen. Some judges have habit o.

people have cause to be disgnsted
being of the long-eared variety. In thi
case, it was very unfair treatment Of tn
jury, who could not have rendered an
other verdict than they did under the test
mony, which, if it was worthy of belief

THE movement to secure the retention OF
John Eaton, federal commission of education,
ought to be assured of defeat before ii is fairly
inaugurated. The Office is one of those use
less bureaus which has been saddled upon
the federal government during the years
when it has been thought desirable to con-
centrate everything in Washington. Eaton
was a very suitable man for such q
purpose. He was weak and could be
put TO whatever use designing men
might see fit. But while Congress
could create such an office 1t could not give
II power or even work. AS consequence
the continued attempts of the fogy Eaton to
got something to do have made him and his
bureau the laughing stock of the country
The first thing to be done is TO get rid of such
a weak and transparent old fraud, and put
the bureau in charge of some practical man,
who has the sense TO know that his only duty
is the collection of statistics, without trying
to run all the educational systems OF the
country, and who will not make himself
ridiculous by assuming to teach practical per-
sons whose whole lives have been given to a
study of educational ideas and methods.
When this is done the scope of the bureau
should be reduced and the foolish attempt to
supervise that which does not exist, should
be forever abandoned. Eaton ought TO be
made 10 go without delay.

GOV. PATTIsoN has been swinging his
veto hatchet TO good purpose. His disap-
proval of tho Smull's hand book steal checked
1t for a season at least His veto of the bill to
prevent the acquisition of rights OF way by
user across lands belonging to universities
and colleges was based upon the sound
ground, that, as the bill was intended for tho
relief of one only, or not more than two
institutions, this was a small peg on which to
hang so important statute. "Hard cases
make bad laws" This is unquestionably
true and if more frequently remembered
would prevent a great deal Of pernicious
special legislation that gets on the statute
books under the guise Of general law. Hi
last veto of the hill providing for the buria
of INDECENT ex-soldiers at the public expense
was another sensible disapproval Of sense
| less bill. All such legislation should be frown
| ed down. 1t is ssuperluous and self-respectint
soldiers will not ask for it.

Gov. PATTIsON has vetoed the bill grant
ing free burial and headstone to every
dead soldier, whose estate cannot pay for
it, at cost of fifty dollars to the county
1t is very creditable veto, indeed. The
soldiers have been well provided for. We
need not invite, by free burial and monu-
ments, all the soldier tramps in the country
to pour into the state to sanctify its soil
with their bones. The governor sug-
gests that the author of the bill
might have had the prudence at least to ex-
cept from the provisions the ex-soldiers
who died in jail or on the gallows. Anon
ument to these would hardly seem advisa-
BILE even to a Grand Array man.

AS fit were not enough of a blunder to
have erected a great postoflice building in
Philadelphia without any doors on Chestnut
or Market streets, it seems that the authorities
have chained off a number of the entrances
which the short-sighted architect by some
mistake presumably, left on the Ninth street
front Very naturally when inquiry was
made at the office nobody there could tell
why a number OF the few entrances on Ninth

trye,s Attack on the President.

At last one statesman has mustered UP
enough courage to dissent from the general
conclusion that President Cleveland's ad-
minstration deserves credit for decency
and its devotion to the interests of the
country. And who is this person. 1t is
William Pitt Frye, United States senator
from tie state of Maine. This man, who
has been for many years a political valet to
James G. Blaine, now says that the presi-
dent has done nothing deserving of COM
mendation, and talks glibly of interposng
his puny self in the Senate TO question the
right of the executive in the nomination of
men to fill the federal offices,
During nearly twenty years of Frye's
public life no measure has been so bad that
il has not been able to command his sup
port, if it was supposed to favor his party
No man, however disreputable, has ex-
torted from this senator a word of disap-
| proval if he would consent to use his office
| for party purposes, or to help along the
| candidacy of his political master, or to
| enrich some personal friend. He has been
| the familiar, the eulogist and the tool of
| William f. Chandler in whatever this
thrifty person has undertaken, whether it
was stealing the electoral vote of a state or
trading in department secrets.
1t is fitting that such n man should con-
denim the administration. If he had said
single good word for it, the country
would have had the right to conclude that
| the president had ceased to be a patriot and
| an honest citizen. If he shall only carry
the fight into the Senate it will do much to
strengthen the hands of the president and
will promote the early repeal of the mon
strosity known as the tenure-of-oilice
law. Everything considered, the Demo
cratic party has every reason to congratu
late itself upon the fact that its President
has incurred the bitter opposition Of w
p. Frye. If to him be added George F
Hoar, and Henry l.. Dawes, its chances fol
enjoying permanent power will he greatly
increased.

PREACHER AND People.
The Preparation os the Clergyman and of Hi'
CONGREGATION.

The Preparation of the Clergyman and of His
Congregation.
From the Moravian.
With tho accumulation of homiletical
''helps" and the growth of the fashion of cop
ious s"illustration," too much of tho prepare
tion for the pulpit has come to be a mere me-
chanical "gathering Of materials" out Of
commentaries, scrap-books, and cyclopedias
of illustrate and anecdote. The essence OF
true preparation for preaching must ever be
thought and prayer. Prayerful thinking and
study Of Gods Word and its application to
the human heart, these make the true SER
mon, If not of entertaining, yet of saving and
edifying power.
A receptive congregation is the preachers
| inspiration. An uDreceptive one Is among
| his heaviest crosses. But not only that The
unreceptive hearer is himself burdened.
| Not only does he fail to receive any OF the
| good that Is offered HIM and within reach
not only is he wasting his time by being
such hearer through the ear only; but pe
| comes an actually disagrecable and painfu
task to him, at the same time that y makes
| preaching a task to the preacher. Why
thero so much Of II? Simply because so few
| people engage In anything like proper prep
aration TOR the worship Of God and reception
of His Word.
1t is altogether within everyone's power Z
bring himself into a receptive frame OF mind
And everyone ought to do it before enterin,
| GODS house. An hour spent IN prayer
home, and in earnest meditation, befor
going to church, and then a summoning O
the thoughts and feelings together, am
bringing them into sympathy with In
thoughtsand feelings expressed In the hymn
sung and the petitions offered, will open tn
spirits faculties, and make even the "du
. -sermon' interesting instructive and edit,
, ing. Preparation by the preacher is not
whit more necessary than the preparation
the hearer. The two together are needed
