Order at Camp Meetings.

The row at Joanna Heights National
Methodist Episcopal camp meeting on
Sunday night was disgrace to the
large number Of persons who attend
these camp MEETINGS merely for the
purpose OF enjoymen and of annoying
others. The man Brown, who, during
the preaching OF the sermon, attempted
to walk across the circle, was q yiolator
OF the rules OF the camp, and when
spoken to OF his offense should have
Immediately taken q seat or left the
ground. No matter II he did deem the
rules too restrictive, they were the rules
OF the association, and il he could no,
comply with them he had no business
on the grounds. 1t will be happy day
when people shall have learned how to
behave themselves so we'll that no re-
strlcuve rules TO enforce obedience and
order Will be necessary, but that time
has evidently not come yet. PEOPLE
may say that camp meeting associations
are too strict, and make rules that are
so dithcult TO enforce that they become
dead letter from the start. Even
should this be 30, that is the business
OF the association, and il these people
who attend camp meetings cannot com
ply with them they have the privilege
OF leaving the grounds. When they
remain and disregard the rules they
become viol OF Law, and when they
attempt to maintain their position by
force they become viola.ors.
Some will ssk what harm Brown did
by walking across the circle during
prea ching services. Brown himself
might have been permitted to cross the
grounds, but If he Was granted permis.
sion perhaps q hundred others would
have wanted 80 take the same priyi-
lege, and then she rule being broken it
would be difficu after wards to enforce
order. Those who complain OF strict
camp meeting rules should not forget
that military encampments, with no
pretensiens OF being religious In char.
scter, are much more strict. II Bro xn
or any body else were to attempt to cross
the parade ground during q military
review he would be arrested and march.
ed to the guard house II is difficult
to understand why religious associH-
tions should not be held as secure from
imposition and annoyance as military
organizations. We venture to nredic =,
that by the time Brown gets througb
with his case before the courts Of Bsrks
County, Pa, he will have more
wholesome respect for camp meeting
rules.

free Traders Deceit.

Tue free traders address TO the peo-
pie, recently published, Is full of dc cei
and Inconsistencies. II declares thai
"a majority of the American people al
pre- sent acting in union with one or the
other OF the two political parties,'' q,
heart approve the tree trade policy.
This IL false and unbiushing asso ID
ton. In New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, the Democrats succeeded
in 1884 merely by o scratch by sirad-
ding the question OF protection. They
knew then as well as they must know
now that they would have stood NO
chance whatever had they presented
the question honestly before the poo
pie. Mr.. Wells one Of the signers to
the address, knows very we'll that he
has been refused time after tims o nomi-
nation for Congress In Connecticut by
the Democratic party, simply because
his party would be sure to be defeated.
Mr.. Daniel Drake Smith smother signer
knows that his party dare not put him
In nomination for Congress in New
Jersey. 1t Is always the policy Of his
party to nominate and elect o tariff
Democrat. So with other gentlemen
who have signed the address These
free traders cannot help but know that
the L astern and Western States, with
two-.hirds the population Of the coun-
try, cast overwhelming msjortties
against Mr.. Morrison's bill at the last
session OF Congress. OF course we
take no account Of the vote of the
Southern States. The vote OF the
southern mem bers Of Congress though
nearly solid for free trade actually
means nothing while million OF voters
OF the South are suppressed by violence
and frauds upon the ballot boxes.
II these free traders will only do as
they pretend they would like to do
make clean and sharp issue between
protection and free trade, the people
would soon settle the question. II the
people are left alone either to vote for
the Republican party and protection, or
for the Democratic party and free
trade, the free traders need have no
more doubt. Every Northern, Eastern,
Middle and Western State woald give
tremendous Republican majorities, and
1.-THE Southern Democrats would let the
million voters they have suppressed by
fraud and violence come to the polls
and vote, the South too would give an
overwhelming majority for protection.

August has fl,wn by and the summer
is virtually over. The last two weeks
OF 1t have been so swel,erlng hot that
we instinct!vely welcome the cooler at

Though there may be few warm day 5
yet, earlier evening shadows and later

the days are shorter, and IN three weeks
more the sun will pass over the equi-
noctisl line and q succession Of frosts
will be in order. Thus the summer OF
1886 will have ended. II has been q
remarkable summer. The regular sue.
cession OF sunshine and showers has
brought forth . remarkable yield OF

summer OF great abundance In cereals,

tumn follows with a rich gafnering OF

What Is it for that we ut

We have heard a wise
merchant say that one of the
chief incentives to advertis-
ing is the glory OF seeing
ones name and fluctuations
in conspicuous print. 1t
may be with some; but we
look for their names in big
black letters made blacker
still with a setting of bread
white spaces. For cur part
we choose the smallest of
proper types for the name at
the end, and for title tie
usual style Of the paper as to
headings. These give a sort
OF state or official sanction to
what we have to say; but
they are not conspicuous
The types get so used to
printing those formal head
ings and signatures they
would almost go on printing
them if the printer should
fall asleep; just as you get SO
used to seeing them that you
take them for granted, skip

The PeMite ntiary Ring Leyee
Contracts.
New Orleans PiGayune.

Figures taker from the records of the
Louisiana Board of State Engineers
show that the State has succeeded IN
getting Ievees along the Mississippi
River built cheaper and doubtless bet
ter under the system of private con-
tracts than by the Penitentlary con-
victs under the management OF the
Penitentiary Levee Ring Act 50 OF 1884,
which constituted the Penltentlary
Ring a monopoly for the building OF
levees at fixed prices, went into effect
on the 10th of July, 1884, and con.
tinued in operation until the last nf
January. 1885. In that time 2,143'ooo
cubic yards of levees were put up, the
highest price paid being "A cents ana
! the lowest Is cents. The average price
| for the whole was 90 5 cents. After
the expiration OF this leyee act on the
1st of January, 1886, levees were let TO
the lowest bidders after advertisement.
1.-THE highest price paid to private con-
tractors under the new arrangement
| was 81 16 cents, while the lowest was
134 cents per cubic yard. Thus it will
be seen that not only has honest fire,
labor been able to underworld this pris-
| on labor, or rather reduce the price at
which contracts were awarded to the
Penitentiary lessees; but it shows that
while private citizens have be. Ii salts
fed with a moderate profit on their
contracts the Penitentiary Ring has
been fattening on the State Treasury to
the extent of thousands of dollars
more than the same sort of work has
been done by honest labor 10 open
market. In the face of these facts it is
stated that in the next Legislature an
effort will be made to rehabllItate the
Leyee Ring, but we are assured the adj
yocates Of honest labor will not show
much mercy to this scheme.

The Homestead Law.
Amite City independent.


Chicago, March 30.-The Inter Oceans
Milwaukee special says: Congress
man Stevenson, of this State, who
passed through Milwaukee, on his way
home to-day, says that the committee
on public lands, of which he is a mem
Der, has decided upon recommending
that the homestead law, which now re-
nnires q settler to live ON his land five
years before becoming the owner, be
changed so as to reduce the time to
thirty months, with a provision that at
least 100 acres shall be under cnltiva-
ton for that length of time. This is IN
addition To the other recommendations
that the, pre- emption and timber cul-
ture laws be repealed which have al
ready been published.
This looks to us like another trick IN
opposition to poor men, and in favor OF
SPECTATORS. No man who needs a
homestead can go on piece OF new
land and have q hundred acres under
cultivation for the next 30 months; and
any man who can do it has no need OF
the benefit Of the homestead laws, 1t
locke as if this move was intended to
ahut the poor man out any let the rich
ones in.

A Good Suggestion to House

No one knows until she has tried it,
saws an experienced housewife to one
of our contemporaries, how much she
the house by using little varnish. On
a sunshiny day take the old chairs and
tables out OH the porch or by an open
door, and, after thoroughly busting and
wiping off with damp cloth, apply a
thin coat OF varnish, and so cover up
scratches and marred spots of all kinds.
II will dry in a very short time, and you
will be surprised TO see how much good
YOU have done. A flannel cloth, with a
very little linseed oil, is good to rub
furniture with, but the greatest care
must be exercised to prevent any, oil
being left on the wood to attract dust.
It must be rubbed until You would not
know, except by the improved appear
