FAvoRs EARLY CLOSING.
Rev. s. G. Smith Adds His Voice
and Suggests an Innovation.

and suggests an Innovation.
The Peoples church was well filed
last evening by an audience composed
largely of the retail statesmen and sales
women of the city, with also fair rep
resentation of employers. An able adj
dress was delivered by Rev. 5. q. Smith
on the subject OF early closing OF the
retail houses of the city. Leisure, he
said. was absolutely necessary TO the
proper development of man or woman.
No human being could continuously
work at the same sort of employment
from i'm the morning until 10 at night
and be all that his maker intended he
should be.
"rhe most disastrous results" he
said. "are produced by the intermin-
able following of routine employment.
The entire energy and force of the mind
is taken up III the use of few of the
many faculties God has provided for our
use. These faculties are, as result,
OverwOrked, while hundreds Of others
remain In perfect Inactivity. This is
an unnatural and ruinOuS stare of af-
fairs. There should be time for recre-
alton, time for workout good deaf
less time than is at present expected of
the clerks of this city, time for the
study of the science of life.-a study
which. by. the way, receives
much less attention than it
should. | am glad of this
early closing movement. l was glad
when the carpenters organized, when
the bricklayers and all the trade Organ-
lied. AIN glad to see these OrganiZa-
tons because | believe that by their
combination and association with each
nf nooh will hi nd hn
needs and wishes of the other and great
results will be achieved. There is no
doubt that those employers who have
signed their names TO the early closing
roll To go into effect on Jan. will find
the plan to be as greatly to their bene-
fit eventually as to the benefit of
their employees. l understand that the
proposal is 10 close every day but Satur-
day. Now | don't want to aim at too
much at once, but will say that If the
choice were with me, should say close
Saturday above any night in the week.
l believe in this early closing as much
because il will serve to keep the people
OF the streets at night as for ally other
reast n. want to keep people off the
Streets because by so doing the salOnn-
keepers will become discouraged and
shut up shop. don't know of any way to
knock out the saloon quicker than clos
ing the stores five nights IN the week.
except closing six nights, which will, CT
course. come eventually. and the effect
on the saloon will be to compel its nom
existence. | believe in the movement
also, because it is the only reasonable.
rational. and more than all. the only
humane solution of the question placed
before the world by these slaves TO an
exaggerated bus ness system"
The reYerned gentleman warned
those present that the great thing
they must look to after the boon of early
closing hail been secured was that tho
extra time thus gained was well spent.

There's a man living on East Seventh

may be that he is somewhat to blame
for the condition of his domestic affairs;
but, anyhow, he is far from being

A terribly ragged man, of melancholy

street was crowded with pedestrians,
and II was to this fact that the success
OF the melancholy mans speculation
owed IFS success. There was no mud TO

swept to a degree Of cleanliness that
would not have disgraced a kitchen
floor People wondered as they came
along what the old fellow was driving
at. but not for long; the Outstretched
palm OF the crOssing-Sweeper removed
all doubt as to his aim in diSregarding
the Sunday labor law. Some gave him
a nickel. others passed on. paying no
heed 10 the silent appeal. A GLOBE re-
porter asked him what luck he was
having. He Winked slyiy, shook a
pOeketful OF nickels, and whispered:

But the experience of the last
hundred years proves that moth

Instead Of correcting politi alahus
rs we find the senate Of the pre-
sent made up of presidential can
didates and in its entirity, the pro
life hot-bed of political demigogy
and dishonest schemes for party
and personal advancement.
The action of the Republicans
of the senate during the present
session would be disgrace t,
politicians of the most reckless and
ruhy-nozed sort.
1t is admitted by all inteligenl
minds that ii is the clear duty OF
the President to fill all vacancies
that may occur in the public ser
vice with all the promptness con
sistent with proper care ofthe pub
lie good.
While this is true of the Execu.
tive it is equally the imperative
duty of the Senate to, at once, con
slider these appointments, and, with.
ont unnecessary delay, either con.
firm or reject them.
Grover Cleveland has performed
his part OF this duty, since the late
summer adjournment in his usual
careful and systematic way, but
not one of these appointments have
been considered, by the Senate, but
they have Leen buried in the char
nal vaults Of the various COMMITTEES
until at this time more than four.
hundred appointments await Sen
atoriul sanction.
For the above degrading state
of facts there exist no reason save
the fact that lot of chronic can
didates for President think more
Of party than of patriotism, and
are willing that the public service
suffer, that Il few paltry places may

The O. g. w. .C&I Co is a re- i

The O. & w. C&I Co is re-
organization of the Standard Coal
and Iron Co. which was closed out
under foreclosure proceedings in
1883, and which was bid in by the
trustees of the reorganized COM
pany.
The Standard coal and iron com
pany, out of Which the Ohio and
Western grew, was colossal affair
with a capital of S75,ODO,0OO. This
is the company in which james G..
Bluin and Steve ElkinS were inter
ested, holding $4,000 and $4,000
bonds respectively, and e. l.. Har-
per, president of the late Fidelity
Bank at Cincinnati, had $50O,0OO
1t is understood that these holders
still hold their bonds.
Several Logan gentlemen lost
money in the transaction.
A strange fatality has been con-
nected with the property. james
l.. Burkey, who committed suicide
in st. Louis hotel, was harressed
to the last by thoughts of the for
tunes he had lost among the Hook
ing hills. George Lee who killed
himself in a New York hotel, was
haunted in his dying hour by the
sppcter of ruiu in the coal fields
of Ohio. Royal M. Pulsifer, the
founder of the Boston Herald, took
his own life some months ago, and,
though he had many other business
complication to pull him down, too,
had sought the fabeled pot of gold
that was said to be buried ut the
foot of the western rainbow.

Save The Value of q Farm

Sellers Cough syrup has attained a rcputa-
tion almost equal to sellers Pills, and more
could hardly be said of any medicine. The
Syrup should be kept in every family where
there are children, and grown up people find
it most valuable medicine for coughs, cold
hoarseness and throat and lung diseases
The Pills are such sta sdard remedy in some
parts OF the country that n farmer never
thinks of being without them. Said an old
gentleman in eastern Maryland, "Why. I've
raised my family on Sellers pills, and l con-
slider them almost as essential to family as

A Pointer for Legislators.

The Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati and Indianapolis Railroad
Company has purchased the Gin
cinnati, indianapolis, st. Louis, and
Chicago road. This sale has been
made to the Vanderbilt interest in
consequence of the late decision Of
the Ohio Supreme Court that rail
road stock holders are taxable on
the amount of their shares not
withstarding the separate pay
ment by the railroad company of
taxes upon its property within the
State. BY this transfer the city of
Cincinnati loses the control of an
important line of railroad, which
will hereafter be managed in the
interest of its New York owners.
This transaction may be profit
ably studied by the members of
the Legislature. 1t aptly illustra-
tes the folly of attaching double
taxes on personal property. When
the tax gatherer undertakes to put
his hand upon it he finds it isn't
there; and acts Of the Legislature
and DEGREES of the Courts will not
avail to help the matter. Taxes
should be laid on things in sight
that are not portable.

Republican Methods in Politics.

If the Republican majoity in
the United States Senate is good
for nothing else ii is good for an
example Of pure undulterated re-
publicanism. When the fathers
of the republic formed our federal
constitution, and gave being to our
parody on the English House OF
Lords, it is charitable to presume
that the present state of affairs
was hidden from their view by the
thick veil o. thenineteenth century.
Doubtless their minds were fill
ed with the idea, that by removing
the members of the Senate, as far
from the mass Of our citizens as the
nature Of our form OF government
would allow, they were providing
body within the Legislative
branch OF our government that

THAN during this winter, beef
cattle have never before within
easy recollection heen so low in
the market (though one wouldn't
be impressed with this fact by con
sulting prices of dressed beef at
the meat markets in Athens. The
chief element of this abnormal
cheapness of fat cattle are the
enormous quantities of dressed
ranch beeves that are shipped from
Chicago and which are more and
more displacing home killed meat
in the local markets throughout
the eastern States. This rapidly
growing and extending commerce
has induced efforts on the part Of
the eastern stock dealers, cattle
raisers and butchers to have all
dressed beef shipped from Chicago
and other western oints excluded
from the eastern markets by law,
but as the Consumers Of beef for
tunately largely out number the
class who wish to make meat eX-
pensive," the Legislation asked for
is not likely to be enacted by any
body of law makers; in the mean
time it remains doubtful question
whether the farmers in this section
can profitably raise and fatten cat
tie in competition with the dressed
beef trade.-Athens Messenger.
If the above is true, what our
farmers need is high tariff on
beef. Just high enough to protect
the home market, you know, Bro.
