Looking After His Fences.

Senator Sherman thinks he is the author
 of the phrase ''going home to look after his fences" Once upon a time, the eve of an exciting election, he went to Ohio, and while there, thinking hds home at Mansfield might need some repairs, he went there. A newspaper man caught him and desired, after the ingenious manner of his craft, to know what the Senator had come to Mans field for. Senator Sherman replied that he had come to look after his fences. That tckled the newspaper5man i'm mensely, and American language.

NORTHWESTER WHEAT CROP.
The Yield About an Average, Heavy Rains
 Notwithstanding,

ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug, 13-The cold wet weather prevailing in the Northwest dur ing the past week has retarded the growth of wheat and will delay harvesting, already Q fortnight late. While some wheat has been cut In Southern Minnesota and Da- kota, the general harvest along the Mani toba and NortheEn Pacific roads will not be under way befor the 20th or 25th
 and in places week later. In the Devils Lake region, wheat will not be harvest ed before September l. Reports of frost ln this region have been much exaggerated, and any damage yet done is triflng. Dam age by wind, rain and hail has been local and limited in area. The crop in Goodhue County, Minn., has been quite ruined by chinch bugs, and these pests have done slight damage in a few other places. While 1t is yet early to estimate the crop it is thought it will at least be an average one. Hay has suffered from beating rains, but all correspondents report corn in line con- dition. A chilling rain fell hsrc all day yesterday, but the Signal Service reports far and warmer weather North and Vest

The Athletics are making their prasencs in the fight known. Their big batters snd helders, backed by strong batteries, are going ahead. They have won ten ct the last eleven games played. On this trip they are eXpectad o do the best work o1 all the Eastern teams. They arc fourth now, but are very close to the Cincinnatis and may return home at the conclusion of the Western trip in second place.
 Manager Barnie's men, well as tho Clevelands, have shown considerable i'm provement recently. No club can boast of a victory before the game with the Cleve- lands.

 The much -talked-of meeting of the American Association has been held at the Continental Hotel, and was not a bloody battlefield after all. Presidents Won der Ahe and Byrne came together, but their little differences did not wind up in & knock out. On the contrary they reduced the mountain to 8 molehill and then sat on | it while slipping lemonade and smoking bad cigars. After listening to the com plants of Won Ger rAhs against the Brook 1 lyn mogul the Association passed a resolu- tioa the sense of which had been prcvi- ously embodied in the united agreement
 In altering the tariff amendment the ideas of MT. Byrne are clearly outlined. 1 He did not intend to make his club suher, and when the Association was compelled to reduce the admission fee to twenty-five cents he was determined that no one should reap 8 reward at his expense, He therefore proposed that if twenty-five cents was the charge for admission to the games the visiting teams get nothing but the guarantee of slI9. The adoption oi this amendment has not given any more satisfaction than if the old rules remained Cleveland is very much put out over the change. Itmakes every club self-support- ing, and 1t was on account of this that thu Association changed the system from guarantee to the percentage plan at ths beginning of the season.

THE THREATENED UNION.
Sunday on n Civil Basis-Con-
stantine's Law-Probable Con-
sequences.

This religious establishment is not a
new thing; an underground agitation
has been going on in this country in be-
half of Sunday for the last twenty-five
years or more, advocated chiefly among
the church element. 1t is a singular
fact. and yet to the student of history
familiar rule, that this so-called reform
has worked to place Sunday upon
civil basis, precisely as the people of
Europe did at the commencement of the
Dark Ages. Constantine passed the first
law that brought the Inhabitants of
walled cities under bond. then places of
Sunday amusement were attacked;
then business places; then the entire
population. Is not the same course
being followed in the country? Ger
tainly.
In former times the efforts to coerce
the people that were adverse to the ex-
listing law, into obedience by means of
the horrible tortureS of the Inquisition,
and the martyrdom of over 50,000,0 900
souls, the remnant escaping into the
mountains in fulfillment of Bible
prophecy, are facts every Christian of
this day is, or should be, familiar with.
The mass of people remaining in the
church espoused the Sunday institution,
and it has remained in the church
through the reforms of Luther, Wesley
and others. ItremainS for the many peO-
pie who love the fourth commandment
enough to obey it to render opposition
to this Sunday as relic of heathenism.
The noble men among the early re-
formers advocated the reform due in
their day, but, in these the last days,
there is reform necessary greater than
hot .afI NIL ar WAclaz-fc fThnra ic
abundent room to-day for just their
kind of work. They were held in con-
tempt by the popular people
so will any one be in this day, who dares
TO oppose false religious teaching.
/ am glad to learn that the article
published last week in the GLOBE has
caused some to hand in requests TO their
pastors to give Bible authority for Sum
day keeping The people ought to
wake up on this subject; it has been
neglected too long. The holy record
utters most terrible words of warning
against those who violate the fourth
commandment in observing Sunday in
Rev. xiv, 9, 10 and II. Have you
even heard sermon on this part OF
Scripture? Ask your pastor to make it
clear to you.
BY the way, have been COngre-
gationalist for ten years and have yet
to hear the first word of explanation
upon this warning, from that body,
These passages mean something. What
is it? that's the question. The Roman
power having again lost its civil author
ity, it is again thought necessary for
the churches of the nineteenth century
TO place Sunday upon civil basis. Their
mode of work is the same now as it was
then. They attack first the places of
