From The pioneer Press ]

1t is rare thing to 60 into a SEN
sible white persons house and not
find at least two policies I; one to
secure in case of death, and the 9TH
er in case of fire; both of which are
extremely wise. TO be insured in a
good honest company is safe guard
against the wolf of poverty that turks
around every poor mans door, and
seizes every chance to destroy house
and its happiness; causes children
to cry and beg for bread; forces
them upon the public, in rags as
beggars, in which condition self re-
spect is lost and ruin necessarily
follows. Now, what is insurance !?
Well, suppose / die, and say two
thousand persons, three fourths
of whom were unknown to me, and
every one of them sends dollar to
my family for their support; would
not that he grandly humane and
Cody? Well. insurance is an or
ganization for the exact purpose of
carrying out the precise plan above
referred to. Were it not for these
benign organizations, there would
be as many poor-houses as there are
school houses and probably more !;
for there would be fewer school
houses needed. For the sake OF our
oppressed race the education of our
children; the happiness OF our fami-
lies, and for the fulfilment of our
marriage VOWS, let us stop going on
excursions stop the use of tobacco
and whiskey; and use the money
annually spent, for the future happi-
ness of our families independence,
and general welfare.

A DISCREET BOARD OF EDUOA
TI0N.

Let other Boards throughout the
State, learn wisdom by the course
pursued by that of the Independent
District of Martinsburg, w. Va.
Should others follow their example,
teaching in this State, would soon
rank among the best professions,
Our reference is to this: A teacher
who gets q number one certificate,
averaging a hundred per cent. in
each branch (the examination being
rigid, but practicaD and proves him
self capable, is exempt from going
through the annual flint mill, which
is becoming SO distasteful alI over
thi- country How unsensible and
inl5nan would he TO require II
thn electors aHd lawyers 20 be an
nualiy examined, as tie teachers
are. 1t is very evident tuat ii tney
can pass the first examination, and
then 60 to work in their professions,
that they know more at the expira-
ton of q year, (and so on, and so on)
than when examined. Well, there
are just as many conscientious teach
ers as there are lawyers and doctors
and what holds good in their cases,
should hold good in the teachers
We believe that each and every soul
stirring teacher, will ten years
hence, have life time certificate and
receive four times the pay per month
that he does now.

Protection Illustrated.

As soon as Congress meets q Maine
Protectionist pops up with q bill to adj
init lumber and other building ma te-
rails free to the city of Eastport, which
recently suffered severely from fire.
This is distinct recognition of the fact
that the tariff on building materials is
q tax upon the country at large for the
benefit and protection of certain special
interests. Van Wyck's bill to admit
manufactured lumber free is in the
same line of special home interests and
so are the suggestions of Dawes and
Sherman i'll regard to the reduction OF
the surplus by abolishing the tariff on
sugar, etc. They all admit that pro-
lection is not for the benefit of labor In
general, but is tax on 1t for the bene-
Mt OF special interests and pet indus
tries that are run. not by individuals.
but by corporations, which are thus
enabled to pool down their producfion
and pool up their prices, regardless Of
labor's share Of the profits or Iabor,s
burden of taxes. How this system nro-
tects and enriches the people OF This
country is seen in the fact that one of
the protected iron kings OF Pennsyfvn-
MIA, who has made millions on al, a.,
imported labor in the last few vears =,

Heuek's Hall was packed to its utmost
capacity last Monday night with highly
intelligent audience to hear the addrers of
Bishop Galloway on Prohibition. We do
not believe that any one, unless he cam
! there with the firm resolve not to be con-
, the burning words as they Tell from the
eminent aj,lur's lips. II vas, he asserted,
"a moral question, only, aud had to it only
one side On this side all christian
churches, Catholic and Protestant, white
and black, were taking a firm stand. He
expressed himself in most uumiStakable
terms on those who, although members of
the church, were unfolding tie saloon
with all their sins. If it was, rs he said a
moral question, it appealed to the con-
science of every man and no one can be
discharged from this responsibility. He
impcached the saloons for being the source
of the greatest evil which ever oppressed
our land. Ills appeal in behalf of those
who were in the tolls of the willy serpent
was very touching. No doubt many an
auditor present knew of some one dear to
him who was making desperate efforts to
free himself from the crushing clasp of
this monster and HhO will il no assistance
is given him, surely fall. 1t is II source of
regret that the entire address can not be
given, but even then, it would not be jus
tice to the speaker, unless the fire and zeal
could also be printed.
