Stubborn Facts.

If any Republican hears Democrat.
ic neighbor boasting (says the Phila.
delphia Press of the bright prospects
of the Democratic party, let him call
his attention to these results of this
years elections:
In Oregon the Republicans cast the
largest vote they ever polled, gained
the largest plurality they ever had,
and greatly increased their represen-
tation in both branches of the Legis.
lature. making it from two.thirds to
three-fOurths Republican.
In Vermont the Republicans cast
the largest vote they ever polled at a
gubernatorial election. gained the lar
gest plurality they ever gave a candi-
date for governor. chose every mem
Der of the State Senate and made large
gains in the lower branch of the Leg
islature.
In Maine the Republicans cast the
largest vote they ever polled, gained
one of the largest plurahties they have
had in twenty years, elected a solid
State Senate, made large gains in the
lower Legislative House, and elected
ninety-six of the ninety-nine county
officers chosen.
In Alabama the Democratic MAORI.
ty was cut down in the recent State
election from one-third to two-ffths.
The exact figure is not known as yet,
but there will be loss of from 10000
to $4,000 as compared with the Demo
cratic majority at the corresponding
State election in 1884. This occurred,
Notwithstanding the Democrats have
the entire control of the ballot boxes.
In Arkansas the Democratic MAORI
ty of 5,336 is reduced to one of I5,.
026, showing Democratic loss of 30.
80, the opposition vote of 55,537 in
1884 is increased to 84,223 and the

Temperance.
CONDUCTED BY THE. w. C. t. U
'For God and Home and Natire Land
What The Bell Said, and What The
Peorle Said.

The quiet of Sunday morning was
broken by the tones of a church bell.
Over the town floated its full, rich
music, and it came back again in faint
echoes.
The bell seemed charged with a
message To the people, which it was
telling with all its might; and the
message ran thus: "Come-come.
Come-come. Come-come.'
But although well understood, it
was not needed by many; and this is
what the people said who did not
heed it,, and what Conscience said to
them:
| Bell-''COme-com
| People--"We do not feel very well
to-day .
Conscience-"Isn it strange there
are so many sick people Sundaysl
Many who are well enough on Satur-
day night are unable TO 80 out on
Sunday, and those who are so sick on
Sunday recover when Monday morning
comes. IL might seem as if some
weekly epidemic visited the town
with a full supply of headaches. colds,
fevers, aud other disorders.
Bell" Come come"
People-"rhe weather is too un-
pleasant to-day"
Constituencies, the weather on
Sunday is always wrong--toO hot, too
cold, too wet, too cloudy, or too windy.
Sunday heats are so exhausting, Sun
day rains are so penetrating, Sunday
colds so piercing, that no one but the
minister and sexton should go out to
chui CHI"
Bell--"COme--come. -
| PeoplC--''We have company"
| COnscience--'Tsn't there something
said about the stranger within thy
gates keeping the Sabbath holy!"
Beli--CoIne--cnn5e."
People Our garments are not good
enough"
Conscience - There are a great
many directions in the Bible about
how we should come before our Lord,
but the style and the quality of clothes
are not mentioned. The church isn't
a millinery establishment or show
room. In olden times the rich and
poor met together, for the Lord is the
Maker of them ALL"
--"Come-come."
People-"We are better than some
who go to church. -
Conscience-"Youm may be much bet
ter than some, but are you satisfied
with that! Will it do to tell the Lord
so! There is something in the parable
of the Pharisee and the Publican
bearing on this point"
Bell-"Come-come."
People-"We haven't any seats in
church..
Conscience-"Yes, there are always
seats there for all who come. There
need be no fear of intruding, for all
are welcome; and there need be no
fear of wearing out your welcome, for
you are urged to come every Sun
day"
And so the church-bell kept ringing
out it's message, "Come-come. And
some needed the message, came,
thanked God for the privilege of
coming. and resolved to come always.
Others still refused, and Conscience
went to sleep, murmuring ere it slept,
"What shall it profit a man, if he
shall gain the whole world and lose
his own soul. THE Presbyterian.

Do you see yne answer to your question
before you ask your pupil to give it, Do
you consider the pupils capacity, indiyid-
uality and general temperament before
putting difficult question to him? Do
you question in logical order, that is, will
the answers to your questions, if put to-
gether under grammatical principals in the
order of answering make a logical treat
Use of the subject under discussion? Do
your questions seem to stimulate the
self-activity of the pupil? If you can an
swer these questions conseientiously in
the affirmative, then your work thus far
is very commendable.
Do you ask questions which are so
simple as to be worthless? Are you ques-
tioning all the time? Doyou believe ques-
tioning TO be the only method by which
real growth of the pupil may be stimulat-
ed? 1t is just as commendable you can
say No, to these questions. The teacher
possessing the judgment to make a wise
selection and application of the method
for each particular recitation, is the one
we can not spare from the school room.
We notice the addition of an Educa-
tional Column in the Herald, edited by
Prin. w. G. Owen, of the Maiden Rock
village school. We commend Mr..
Owens attitude toward the educational
interests of the county and we feel that
his column will become a strong expon-
ent Of the good cause. Mr.. Brewer will
soon reopen his column, we understand,
in the Negs. This will make three edu-
cational columns in the county. These,
with Mr.. Lowaters paper and the asso-
citation work, will put our county abreast
of any in the northwest. Teachers don't
stand back, please, to see how these
things are going to prosper but put your
shoulder to the WI eel and give gener-
Gus lift If you notice any falling off in
any of these means, instead of Criticising
and finding fault, just put forth your best
effort to sustain them. Write for these
papefs and become an active member OF
the association. This will do much for
you and it will help your fellow teacher
more than you can estimate. When tax

The President His own Platform

From HaYperis Weekly of July II.
Mr.. Cleveland has one great advantage in this
canvass, and that is that upon the question which
his opponents declare to be the paramount issue he
is his own platform. He stands for reducing the
surplus by Tightening the taxes neeessaries, and
leaving them upon luxuries. He proposes freey
plothiHg bis opponents propose fgeeF Rhiskey, The
Republican cry against him is free-tFade. If it
could be shown that he has proposed free-trade or
contemplated free trade. so sudden subyersion of
the long-settled policy of raising the revenue by
customs duties would be startling. But the Presi-
dent foresaw the effort that would be made to raise
false ISSUE and to secure the benefit of "a scare"
and he quietly baffled It in advance. The customs
revenue, he says "must be extensively continued
as the source of the governments income; and in
readjustment of our tariff the interests of American
labor engaged in manufactures should be carefully
considered as well as ihe preservation Of oHF manu-
fsetureTs and he adds, "the question of freetFade
Is absolutely irrelevant, and the persistent claim
made In certain quarters that all efforts TO relieve
the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation
are schemes of socaed free traders, is mschievous,
and far removed from any consideration for the
public good"
The tariff must be readjusted in order 10 reduce

Wednesday contracted with Messrs. Keller d
Crossman, of Lancaster, Pa, for the construc-
ton of fifteen miles of railroad from Orrtanna,
the present terminus of the Baltimore and
Harrisburg Division, to the main line near
Blue Ridge Summit. The route is that of the
old "Tape worm built under Thaddeus
Stevens, and will thus save considerable in
the way of grading. A tunnel of about FIVE
hundred feet in the mountain will be neees-
sary. 1t is estimated that the grading will
cost 81, 900, and the superstrncture and build.
ings, including elevators near Fairfield and
Blue Ridge, run the total amount up to about
$3.50, 600. Work is to commence at once at

The Party for the workingman

From The N. J.. Eceniag Telegram.
The fearful and weak kneed Republican who is
ready faint at the thought of free trade and who
looks upon the Democratic party the exponent of
that SYSTEM pluck up courage when he reads the
platform of the St Louis Convention.
He may read between the lines or in any manner
he peases and he will fail to discover the doctrine
of absolute free trade,
He will find that the all pervading spirit of the
Democratic platform is reduction of taxation a
matter of vital interest to the workingman.
There is vast field in which to work when the
subject of reduced taxation is considered. Every
year there is sum sufficient to make hundreds
wealthy drawn from the pockets of the woTkingman
in the form of taxes. The oft quoted remark "The
rich growing richer the poor poorer, comes with
striking force in this connection.
Why is it so? Simply because State and nation
are loaded down with taxes, which it is the
purpose of Mr.. Cleveland and his friends aud CO.
workers to endeavor to reduce.
There is only one proper place for the working
man who desires to better the condition of that
class and that sunder the banner of Democracy on
which is engraved the names of Cleveland and
Thurman, and the motto Lower Taxation and Rev
enue Reform"
The bugaboo which the Republicans have so long
used to brighten away voters from the Democratic
party. Free Trade was shown in its true colors at
st. Louis. Henceforth II can be laid away quietly
with the Bloody Shirt and the Grand Old Party, a
trinity of fraudulent pretenses that even the clarion
note of the white plumed man from Maine can
never resurrect. Cleveland, Thurman aud tax re-
form is the battle cry.
