A Large Audience Listens to Hon. r
w. Houghton at Concordia
Opera House.

Few speakers have ever been greeted
in this city with finer, more intelligent
or more appreciative audience than was
Hon. F. w. Houghton at Concordia
Opera house, Saturday night. Mr.. Hough-
ton is a gentleman of commanding pres
ence, eyes sparkling with intelligence and
good nature, and he easily won his way
into the hearts of his hearers. He does
not 60 in for dramatic effect, on the con-
trary, bis was a dispassionate argument,
and while his style and manner was
quietly pleasing, his thoroughly logical
reasoning was:very effective. His retro
spection of free trade in the past and its
application to the present time was very
forcible. To those unacquainted with the
working of our tariff laws, even the SIM
plest details, were explained to nicely
and SO plainly any one could not help
understanding them. Each era from
colonial times down to the present were
taken up, and the good and bad effects of
protection and free trade forcibly COM
mented upon. Misrepresentation, the
stock in trade of Democratic orators, were
thoroughly exposed. "They tell us, said
Mr.. Houghton, "that the Singer sewing
machine is sold for much less money in
European than in American markets, but
they fail to tell US that the Singer COM
pany have mandatory in Scotland,
and that the machines are manufactured
by that same class of cheap labor they
want to bring us into competition with"
The shovel and pillow story was equally
untrue, and so emphatically denied by the
manufacturers themselves as to scarcely
need refutation. Mr.. HIS anecdotes
were enjoyably illustrative of the attitude
the Democrats occupy from President
Cleveland down to the humblest in the
party. His appeal to his hearers to weigh
well the claims of the Republican party
to the intelligent SURFACES of the people
had telling effect. Three rousing cheers
were given for Harrison and Morton, and
three cheers were also given for F. w.
Houghton, when the large audience dis
persed, well pleased with the speaker and
his treatment of this NEST difficult bject.

Going a Eiifl0 Too EnSt,

One of the doctors is warning summer
vacationists that their chief danger is 60
ing too fast. The most common error
at the start is OVERRIDING" There is q
walk of several miles on mountain; or,
if it is bathing in the sea, an hour is
spent among the waves. "Degreeingly
to grow into anything" says one of the
old writers, sis reserved unto the wise
men," He adds that any change that is
made in our mode of life should be grad
ual. "The first exercise of any kind
should never be to the extent of fatigue.
As to bathing, it is to be remembered
that man is not an aquatic animal" The
trouble with those who seek summers
rest is that they are carried away by the
novelty of new situations and do not con-
tent themselves with peacefully enjoying
anything. This is particularly SO of the
women, who naturally hugely enjoy a
break up of the monotony of housekeep-
ng.-Globe-D Democrat.

When Asbury Park is hot it is the hot
test place on the face of the earth.-~ For
some occult reason the sun focalizes here,

he is directly under the rays of a burning
glass. Why such torrid spot should
have been selected for the camp meeting,
around which. as nucleus, these places
have grown, it is difficult to imagine, but
perhaps the temperature rose afterward,
as the result of the concentration of SO
much religious fervor in one spot. How
ever that may be, it is noticeable that
there is rise as soon as one gets within
the boundary lines. Everybody flocks to

Students from the Carlisle school.

Sixty-two of the Indian students who
have spent five or more years at the Car
Isle Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, were
sent TO their homes in the west recently
Some went to Montana, some to Idaho
others to Arizona, New Mexico, Indian
territory, Nebraska and Dakota, repre-
senting fifteen different Indian agencies
This party of Indian youth was the
brightest crowd of boys and girls evel
sent out by the Carlisle school. In fact,
SO much confidence was placed in them
that they were allowed to return to their
western homes without an escort, some.
thing never before done in the history OF
the school. The party consisted Of
thirty-fve large boys, six small ones and
twenty-one girls. Soslo oi them wert

from whom they have been separated SC
long, but others appreciated the fact that
there is no salvation for them from the
Indian ways when once brought in con.

much preferred to remain in the east
The demand of the parents, of course
overthyows the desire of the young Indi
ans, and the government, living up to its
obligation to return all students at the
expiration of their time, sends them
back. k.-Boston Transcript.
