NOTES AND OPINIONS


Great oaks from little corns grow; but
nobody ever saw generous impulse or
noble senGiment spring from mind warped
by small ideas and petty jealousies.
An effort is being made by the state
board of health to abolish public funerals,
especially in instances of contagious dis
eases. 1t is claimed that the germs aris-
ing fl ON the body circulate the malady and
cause epidemics. Ministers are solicited
by circular to give the matter their assist
ance.
Forty years ago a farmer went to the
harvest field with a sickle, and If he put
in shocks three fOurths of an acre per day,
he did well. Thirty years ago he took a
grain scradle. Three good men put in
shocks three acres per day. Twenty years
ago droppers came in fashion, and one
team and six men put in six acres. Now
one man will contract TO cut and bind your
crop at 81 ,25 per acre, and he cuts eight or
ten acres in day. What will ten years
more do for the farmer, in the way of labor
saving machinery?
Correctly spoken. One of the pretty
meannessses of which this Commonwealth
is guilty in common with other Estates iE

the serv ices of female teachers and male

district in the state is this equitable pre-
cept followed--Allen, in Northampton
county, which pays its male teachers anC
its female teachers the same salaries--Ash

A large number of my friends have been

ously put in circulation against me.
would not consent to refute such silly
and unreasonable slander, but am reliab-
ly informed that the slander has been used
against me in public and also in secret
places, by men who would be ashamed of
themselves If their names and the places
were given, where the slander was circu-
leted.
It is this, have been frequently asked
whether there is anytruth in the following
report" There is a report going the rounds
that you have pledged yourself to the Catho-
lie church, to secure a division Tor possibly

answered as now do, No sir, it is not true,
1t lie mean elecIioneering lie, which no
intelligent person could believe, because
the Catholic church does not ask for any
such thing now and it has not so far as
can remember. There has not been such
an issue in this State, nor will there be.
Besides this, the Legislature could not do
such thing, without first amending the
Constitution of the State. 1 can further
say that no one eyer solicited my aid on
such question: nor on any other question
whatever, concerning legislation, except
about the Australian System of Ballot Re
form, which strongly favor. under
stand that the Catholic church and all the
other churches desire to be let alone, and
that they all firmly adhere to the Consti

men have a natural and indefensible righ

human authority can in any case whatever

On the appropriation of moneys by tn,

Constitutions, prescribes as follows: "N
appropriations shall be made
for any denomlnational or sectarian insti
tuition" 1t lisa pity that / am compelled
20 make public denial Of such foolisl
falsehood, in this age of schools and pro
gress, but II goes to show that the fool
killer will have plenty to do yet for ages I
