what Students should Read.

A young mans very dcsultory read
ing will perhaps be one Of the most
useful means for finding what his LIES
career should be. Knowing himself, or
being known, as has been said, by those
directing him, and by his own d~iscursive
reading having learned what work for
his peculiar abilities is open for him in
the world. he probably will Judge quito
readily what line Of study be should at
first pursue, and following out this
clew. at first by the aid of judicious \
ternal guidance, he will with ever in
creasing self-reliance and discrimina-
ton, proceed to fulfill the requirements
of education and the inclination as his
own mental disposition. This method
of development is the natural order by
which intellectual growth, by e OF
books, or any other means, proceeds.
To make . choice Of q certain hundred
books for any mans perusal. in his
youth Or afterward, is but o feat OF
cleverness, arousing curiosity or won
der. but evolving notwithstanding in the
choice. A man may be possessed Of
any number Of good books; and,
possibly, . thousand books may be Sc
lected, all Of which would be. by gen.
eral consent, called excellent, and worth
possessing; and. perhaps, he would be
none the better for them all. Young
men do not require q hundred books at
once. Indeed. the Tower well-selected
books I youth has to begin with, the
more safe he is against excessive loss OF
time. His most important question is
not, what shall / read? but, what need
Tread? The students care should be
to read Is little, and think a. much as
possible. Thus he will find what thing
il is that he ut any time immediately
requires to know, and he will make this
pressing need the object Of his next
requirement in books. This method
tends to education; it develops mental
power, and makes . cultivated man. A
hundred books procured and read with
out appropriate sympathy and interest
and thought, will merely make an ami
mated bookcase Of the man.-Quarteyly

The anti-liquor republicans met III
Chicago last week with representation
from nineteen states and territories,
Kansas being represented with thirty
delegates. Resolutions were passed,
that between high liscense and prohibit
ton it was unanimously for prohibition
and in favor of the party carrying 1t,
for if it did the Third Party movement
would have no foundation and that by
1888 the Republican party would then
be solid and prohibition success
Now, it remains to be seen whether the
prohibitionists, through principle, will
continue to submit to have the wool
pulled over their eyes by this deceiving
and hypocritical party. We do not be-
lieye that they will. They have drawn
the line and we believe that they have
the backbone to hew to it, let the chips
fall where they may.

Is it right for democrat to accept
all Office of appointment under demo-
cratic administration and then use his
influence to knife democratic can
didate in the interest of a republican or
mugwump candidate? The REFLECTOR
answers emphatically, no. And again,
is it right for democratic administra-
ton to retain in Office partisan Tepub-
lican in preference to some good demo-
clat who would work in harmony and
interest of the administration The
REFLECTOR answers emphatically, no.
Yet the above two extremes are found
to exist right here in Dickinson county.

D. D. Hornaday.

The gentleman whose name heads
this article, is one of the finest disciple
narians and managers of public schools
in the state. He has held the position
of county superintendent for two terms
and so satisfactorily has he managed
the school that it would be quite set
back to them if he were not chosen to
remain at the helm another term. This
is an Office that all the people Of the
county are interested, irrespective Of
party ties, and as Mr.. HOrnaday has
known no party in his decisions and
management of the schools Ofthe county,
but has at all times labored to the best
interest of all concerned, and under
whose skillful plotting the schools OF
Dickinson county are now clasSed as
being among the best schools of the
state, it is nothing more than just for
the REFLECTOR to heartily support
Prof. HOrnaday, and that the voters
should carefully inquire into the policy
and purpose of the administration of
the Office during the two past terms,
and those who approve them we earnest
ly ask them to support him in every
honorable way. The voters and parents
of the county have nothing to lose
should they keep Prof. Hornaday at the
head of the school work of the county,
but they may be the losers, and
sadly, should a change be made in the
offioo

The Republican candidates for Office
met in the court house last Saturday
and mapped out their plans for the cam
paign. They also agreed to keep nl,ml
as to the congressional fight, but not
withstanding this action we believe that
the voters of the county will demand
lust how each one of them stands. And
to show the inconsistency and hypocricy
of the republican candidates therein
assembled, the agreement was forgotten,
even before they left the court room. as
two of the candidates are stumping the
county for Wilson, and we know of one
or two others of them who have talked
Wilson privately on the streets since
then. The Anderson voters are not
going to be hoodwinked in any such
style, they via demand just how each
candidate stands before voting, and
don't you forget it.

Thomas Moonlight, the democratic
candidate for governor, is enthusing,
we almost said, the democrats and re-
publicans alike. The old Union soldier
is a peoples man and will be literally
supported at the polls. He is accept
able by daylight, moonlight, dark light
or any other kind of light, and harmon
ious action of the democratic party,
assisted by liberal republican support,
are apt to place Thomas in the eXecu-
tive chair. The platform on which he
stands is another acceptable point to
the people. Let the good work go on.

a brilliant Lecture,

One of the grandest, if not the very
grandest lecture ever listened to by a
Wilbertorce audience, was that of DR..
Snowden, of Litchfield, H., Tuesday
night. Dr. Snowden is pastor of the
First English Lutheran church of the
above city. 1t was from the very warm
reception rendered the Wherefore con-
cert company last winter, when visiting
Litchfield. that he was invited TO de-
liver the annual address before the
societies of the university. DR.. Snow
den is man of the finest personal ap-
pearance and presents a most command
ing attitude. His theme was, Work
and Workers. and from the moment he
began his lecture TO the close, nearly
two hours. the audience was held enrap-
tured. 1t was common comment on
all sides that while the lecturer could 60
from the witty 20 the grave and sober
equal to Cough, he at the same time in
this beautiful flight of imagery equal
ed Talmage. But it was not here that
he reached his zenith, the penetration
into the depths of science, his broad
knowledge of biography, and his powers
of observation won him the plaudits
of his entire audienee.-Ex.
Rev. DR.. Snowden will lecture at the
Lutheran church this Thursday even
