1t will not differ in theology from other
modern churches of the same order,
but in church services there will be
departures from present forms. The
Milwaukee Sentinel describes the plan
of the church building, from which a
brief extract is made: 1t will be near

Van Buren street and 1870 feet on One.
ida street, three stories high. The
audience room will seat 800, and

1.410. There will be rooms for religi-
Gus services and intellectual training,
lectures, sanitary purposes, amuse-
ments, large gymnasium, reading
room and other proper conveniences.
In short. the church will furnish a
home for all that is rational for young
people, as well DIS those Of older years.

stock will find themselves benefited in
two ways in attending our State fair
The liberal premiums offered will not
only pay them for their trouble, but
they will find purchasers for almost
every animal they wish to sell. Buyers
find it to their advantage to attend fairs.
It gives them an opportunity to contrast
breeds and wares they are seeking to
purchase.
The management have thought best
to divide the receipts of the fair among
the farmers who exhibit, believing that
they would rather take home an extra
twenty dollars than witness balloon
ascension or trapeze performance. If we
reach the anticipated success in the fair
Of 1888, we shall have still larger

JAMES G. BLAINE.

The anxiously expected arrival of
James G. Blaine, which has been
awaited by thousands, gathered from
all parts of the country in New York.
was announced on Friday morning last.
Probably never before on our shores
was the arrival of an American citizen
home from foreign land welcomed
with such extensive demonstr ations of
pleasure as was Mr.. Blaine. This was
no man worship, but spontaneous up
rising of people to testify their appre-
citation of true worth, patriotism and
craftsmanship. 1t has often been said
that Blaine comes nearer Gladstone as
a great leader than any other known
public man in the United States. It
may after all be for the best interests
of the country that General Harrison
was the chosen leader in the present
Presidential campaign. Mr.. Blaine
will not be a passive spectator, but it
is asserted that he will bring a tremend-
GUS influence to bear in support of
Harrison. The opening brief address
that was called from Mr.. Blaine on
landing should be published for gener-
al distribution. He describes what he
saw of the poverty of the working
classes in Europe; the privation and
distress which poorly paid labor brings
on the toiling masses of the people.
The inevitable consequences from the
removal of the protection on American
industries would be to place our, me-
chanics and laboring men on par
with thousands Of half-starved and
poorly-clothed working classes of
Europe.

convention will probably have before
1t for consideration the names OF four
candidates w. d. Hoard. FL. a.
Taylor. G. G. Ginty and E. C. McFet-
ridge. These gentlemen are not IA
mIliarly known to the people in this
part Of the state, except Hoard is con-
siderably known to the farming popu-
lation by reputation. His publications
on dairying have been much priced by
the farmers. Several weeks ago the
TELEGRAPH indicated a preference for
w. d. Hoard. Since then, with all
that has been said in favor and adverse
to his nomination, no good reason has
appeared for change of preference.
Among other things that can be said
in favor of Mr.. Hoard, he is not an
Office seeker; he is not charged with
having sought the Office, but the peo-
pie have sought him out for the posi-
ton.
1t has been heard said that present.
ing the name Of Hoard for Governor
lessons the chances of Congressman
Caswell for denomination, because they
both are residents of the same county.
The raising OF the question of location
in this case is simply absurd. Neither
the Governor Of state nor the repre-
sentative in Congress specially repre-
sent the towns in which their home
residences are; one represents the en-
tire state, and the other the entire
country.
But little is said in this quarter in
respect to the other proposed candi-
dates for the State ticket. except E. e..
Timme, the present Secretary of State.
The comments heard favorable and un-
favorable to the denomination of Mr..
Timme, on one side, are that he has
held the Office long enough and ought
| to give place to some other candidate,
| and on the other side that his long ex-
| perience better fits him for the Office,
| therefore he should be retained. These
comments do not amount to much.
| Long service, if we'll performed, is no
objection to continuance in Office; nor
does the plea Of experience in Office,
where the duties are mostly routine
and clerical, have much weight. There
is one plea in favor of Mr.. Timme
which entities him to q denomination
he lost an arm in defence of the coun-
try, and no pension or emoluments Of
Office can restore his arm, or be an
equivalent for its loss. Mr.. Timme
should be given another term.

REPUBLICAN POLICY.

The question is raised, Will it be
good policy for the Republican State
Convention to pass over the temper
ance question in silence, or recognize
it in its platform in some expression
of sentiment?" The Indiana State
convention has set an example which
the convention of this state might do
we'll to follow; not necessarily by
adopting the same sentiment or Ian.
guage, but by some outspoken declara-
ton. The Indiana temperance senti-
ment was received with great applause.
Whether that convention suggested
the best method is not so important as
asserting the right of speaking as free
ly on this subject as on any other
within the range of politics. Temper
ance is now in the arena of politics as
much as tariff or free trade. Indiana
cannot be accused of the policy of
silence. 1t declares:
Politics and legislation must be
kept free from the influence of the sa-
loon. The liquor traffic must obey the
law. We favor legislation upon the
principle of local option. whereby the
various communities throughout the
state may, as they shall deem best,
either control or suppress the traffic in
intoxicating liquors."
These are no radical utterances, but
inasmuch as the convention was not
body it was sufficient to
recognize in its platform the right and
duty of the people to consider the liquor
traffic. 1t is the opinion of many Re.
publicans in this county that declara.
ton of friendly interest in the temper
ance cause in the Republican platform
would add to its strength, while ignor.
ing this now live question might only
weaken it. The recognition of tenn
perance might not in the present condi-
ton of public sentiment draw from
other parties, but prevent Republicans
from going to another party, dissatis-
led because of the maintenance of
silence.
