duce a big crop this year, it viii be

The ground never was, at the beginning
OF a season, IN better condition for a
crop than it is now. This is the con

judge from the reports
A special from Woodward, L T. says
forty farmers from Ashland and other
Kansas towns went down into mo

four horse thieves. They now have
nine more of them barricaded in the
Cherokee strip Just east of mo Mans
Land, and intend to hang them, pro-
Vided they can catch them.
Charles Christian and his cousin,

over the right eye. He fell dead in

the brewery. The firm viii move to

Don't

let that cold Of yours run on, You
think it is little thing. But it may
run into catarrh. Or consumption,
or pneumonia.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia
is dangerous. Consumption is death
itself.
The breathing apparatus must be
kept healthy and clear of all obstruc-
lions and offensive matter. Other
wise there is trouble ahead.
All the diseases of these parts, head

lungs, can be delightfully."- and entirely
cured by the use of Boschee's German

Judging from the number of state
conventions that have declared for
"favorite sons" the first ballot at
Chicago is likely to be made up of
votes of this complimentary charac-
ter. 1t is reported that the Maine
delegation will not accept Mr..
Blaine's letter of withdrawal as final
until they hear something further
from him-as quite likely they will.
Michigan and Wisconsin are faith
full to their ex-governors, Alger and
RuSk. Senator Allison is good
enough for the Iowa Republicans as
is Congressman Phelps for those of
New Jersey. Ohio has named John
Sherman while Chauncey NJ. Depew
finds favor among the Republicans
of the Empire state. Illinois has TO
candidate of her own this year SO
steps over the line and names as her
choice Judge Gresham, while lndi-
ana herself selt cts another "favorite
son''and declares for ex-senator Har.
rison. Connecticut will favor Joe
Hawley, and Sheridan is still held
for a dark horse. With such a list
to choose from there is little danger
that the convention will make &
mistake.

THE MILLS BILL.

The general debate on the tariff
bill closed Saturday with the very
able speeches of Mr.. Reed and
Speaker Carlisle. With the close of
Speaker Carlisle's speech, twenty
two days were CONSUMED in the dis
cuSsion of the tariff, and should the
proposition to take the Gnal vote on
the Mills bill as it stands fail, the
probabilities are month or more
will be taken up in considering and
debating amendments under the FIVE
minute rule. But it IL evident that
the Republicans are inclined to look
with favor on the proposition made
by Mills, i. e., that a vote be taken
first on the substitute which the Re.
publicans will offer for the Mills
bill, and if the substitute is voted
down then a vote is to be taken on
the adoption or rejection of the bill
in its present condition. The reason
for looking with favor on the Mills
proposition is this; AS the general

debate drew to close the Republi-
cat leaders set about to count the
Independent Democrats whohad the
courage of their conviction. The
result was thirteen, including Ran
dali, were discovered. Assurance
was given that tie faithful thirteen
would vote against the bill as a
whole, and with that understanding
the Republicans concluded to call a
caucus and discuss the matter. The
indications point to an agreement
which, if ratified, will dispose of the
tariff before the meeting of the St.
Louis Convention.

A REPLY TO DIR. TALMAGE.

Mr.. ED1ToR.-I am no scholar or
writer, and suppose it is only the
erossest recklessnes for me to ans
wer one word in reply to the abuse,
the slang and the Misrepresentation
contained in the sermons, so-called,
of the great and the very reverend
"Talmage." Still when such cIerical
G9htS become so intent on defaming
other peoples beliefs and opinions
that he will garble his scriptural
readings-say nothing of his sneers
and falsehoods of spiritualists it
really seems that some one ought to
say a word as to his misstatements.
In his sermon appearing in the
HERALD of the llth inst, this Rev.
Talmage twice, at least, calls the
"Wo oman of Endor" the " Witch OF
Eador." Now by what authority
does he take the liberty to call her
a Switch" when the Bible says not
one word in the whole chapter, of
her being Switch" it simply calls
her ,conaan, nothing more. Would
it not be well for this reverend Sian.
derer to read and heed the warning
contained in the XXI of Revela
tions, 18th and 10th verses. Again
by what authority does he say thai
spiritualism is "delusion" when il
is brought out in the very chapter
from which he takes his text. Lee
us see. Splritualism is the belle
in the doctrine that the spirits O
our departed friends exist in a con
scious state, and that they can anC
do, under favorable circumstances
come back and communicate will
us in various ways. One of these
ways is by talking with us or thei
friends. Now let us turn to tn
2sth chapter of Samuel, 3rd verse
, "Now Samuel was dead and al
Israel had lamented him, and buriet
him in Ramah, even in his own city.
Now if we ever again get any com
munication, or have any more tall
, from Samuel in this life, then it i
as plain as that two and two max
four that he must return from tn
spirit world to do the talking. Rea'
verse I2-"And when the woman
mot witeb) saw Samuel" Wei
then, one map, at least, has bee
seen in this world by mortal afte
that man had died and been buried
Verse Is says: !"Appd Samuel sai'
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1888-05-25

to Saul, ETC., again verse l6, "Then
said Samuel wherefore" etc. Well
then Samuel was not only seen by
the "woman of Endor" but he talk
ed with Saul. Then if the book
which Mr.. Talmage Il believe) ac-
cepts as infallible truth is true and
is the wcrd of God, then is it not
true that one man at least, who had
lived on this earth, and has died
and been burie' did come back and
was seen by the "Woman of Endor''
and also did talk aoith Saul and tell
him what would take place, and the
record says it did take place as Sam
uel tod Saul it would, with only the
variation as to time. Verse 10 of
same chapter Samuel tells Sanl what
should befall him and his sons, and
the 9th verse Of the 3lst chapter
tells us that Samuel's prediction to
Saul proved true. So then it is true
notwithstanding all the froth and
slop spit out by this Rev.-that
spirits do return, and do, or have
talked with people. What can this
Rev. ranter mean by the expression
"Now just think of spirits, that the
Bible represents as enthroned in
glory, coming doom to cra'oI under q
table," Who ever heard of spirit
ualists claiming that spirits "come
down" and crawl under the table
Certainly no one ever did but Tai
mage, and he displays his unfairness
and ignorance of what he is railing
at by this intimation as well as by
the statement that two raps are un
derstood to mean yes, on the con
trary two rapS are never understood
to mean yes" but always "don'
know" while three raps mean eyes
and one ono" But | don't propose
to follow him through all his Sneer'
and misstatements,and never SHOULD
have noticed his nonsense at all
but for the fact that | know of PEG
pie who seem to think that what
ever Talmage says is perfectly RICH
whether it is true or not.

TME AERAED.
ISLAND POND, MAY rs, 1888,
MEMORIAL DAY.

The observance of this day is
founded upon memories most dear
and sacred TO the hearts of our peo-
pie, hence it increases among all
classes rather than decreases. And
there is every reason why this
should be so. 1t is meet that the
nation should revere the memories
of those who died that it might live.
1t is fitting that business should be
suspended, the wheels of industry
still, and the people of the restored
nnion-mark the word "UNIoN"-
pause in the race for wealth, for
happiness, aye, and even fame, and
do honor to the dead heroes who
fell that we, and our children to the
latest generation, might live in a
free land, with liberty reality in
stead of political fiction, and with
freedom and equality guaranteed to
all its people.
1t is not surprising, then, that the
observance of Memorial Day should
become more and more general as
the years roll by; as the grass grows
higher among the slumbering, but
not forgotten dead; as the touch of
ceaseless time SiverS the hair and
wrinkles the cheeks of those who
fought the battles of the Union in
the flower of manhood and strength.
1t is fitting that the sacred spirit of
this day should wax stronger as the
years of the Rebellion are left be-
hind. 1t is holiday which every
patriotic citizen should be willing
to observe even if it causes slight
trouble and expense. The boys of
the Grand Army, to whom the day
particularly belongs, will be among
us not many years more, and its
observance should not be allowed
to die with them. Its recognition
should be as complete as the Fourth
of July, but such recognition should
not be allowed to degenerate into
the characteristics of the older holt
day. Its memories are fresher, its
shadows still darken the hearts of
many yet living, and it is founded
upon achievements most sacred and
dear to the patriotic heart.
1t is to be hoped that every city,
town, and every hamlet will join In
the observance of Memorial Day by
appropriate ceremonies. The beau
tiful custom of decorating with
flowers the graves of the fallen ones
should not be forgotten; nor shUuid
the tender and patriotic eulogies,
breathed from full hearts and quiv.
ering lips, be omitted. Let the
people make the day more generally
observed than it ever has been. Let
the young and old join in universe
commentator of the day which
is, or should be, dearest to thu
hearts of the American people of al
the national and secular holidays.

If the wishes of our Democratic
friends are to be considered at Chi
cago, the convention will nominate
Blaine with a whoop. But after
all is it not little game Of bluff ?
1t is right to be taught by an enemy,
according to the old maxim, but it
is bad politics to be led by an
enemy, especially as regards the dis
cussion of the relative availability
of Presidential candidates, at time
when it is absolutely indispensable
TO party success that the action of
the nominating Convention shall be

can views.
