faith and reafirms the platform adopted by
its representatives in the convention Of 1884

Democratic representatives in congress to
secure q reduction OF excessive taxation.
Chief among it's principles OF party faith
are the maintenance OF an indissoluble

to a plan Of government regulated by q

to all who have been chosen for brief tsrms

[NOrwich Bulletin.l EXCHANGING PULPITS.

One of our Windham county correspond ents writes of the successful work perform ed by a Putnam editor in company with 8 good deacon of the church, in holding re- vivals in the surrounding towns. As the editor conducts weekly paper, he is able between editions, to make excursions out to the neighboring heathen without ma terially interfering with his supervision of the printers devil. The editor of daily paper would be obliged to furnish an ed torial ''sub" (that means substitute) if he were to desert the sanctum for the meet ing house. Now if the ministers would only ''sub" for the editors while the editors ''subbed" for the ministers, reciprocal system might be established by which both pulpits and sanctums would be filled, would be gained by the members of both professions.
 Ministers who perceive their congrega- tions growing lifeless could easily revive them by judiciously effecting an editorial exchange. If an editor couldn't say some things from the pulpit which would make things lively in the Pews, then we very much misjudge the capabilities of our profession. On the other hand, if the minister, sitting at one side of the "copy hole" with the foreman on the other side yelling "COPYr'- in large cap tones at the rate of about three hundred and sixty revolutions to minute, didn't gather the refreshing idea that he was ministering to an exceedingly wide awake t'congregation" then we very much misiudge the capabili- ty of the ministry to receive impressions
 Such mutual exchange of duties would be very informing all around. The null hilarious experience of editorial work would give ministers some wonderfully valuable lessons in patience and other practical vir- tues, and afford them an insight into hu- man nature which can never be gained in the pulpit. We presume, also, that the editor would find great deal that is use ful in the pulpit experience. We would especially like to exchange vacations with ministers. The average editorial vacation is about a fortnight, and city ministers get any where from six weeks to 8 trip in Eu- rope.
