MIR. JESSE ASHLEY, OF IIoncn Path. was IN
town last week. In politics he Is straight out
for Tlllman, but he says hc likes for every
man To speak out his mind honestly, even II
others differ from him. lIewould prefer LOT a
man to say that he was openly and squarely
against Tillman than to dodge the question or
DENY his true sentiments. He will be for TIL
man and we will be the other way, and eacn
will respect the opinion OF the other. Withou'
entertaining any bitterness of feeling.

A Great Undertaking.

The Board Of Managers, in their Re-
port to the American Bible Society,
called attention to the "Work for the
Future" and emphasized the impOr-
tance Of supplying every child who
can read with; q Bible of its own, espe-
cially for Sunday school use. This was
cordially indorsed by the Society at its
Annual Meeting. May Sth, 1890.
1t is estimated that there are over
S,0UO,OOO children in the Sunday
schools throughout the United States.
Many of these are doubtless already
supplied with Bibles, but it is safe to
say that there are several millions who
do not possess the sacred book. This
enterprise calls for the earnest and ac-
tive cooperation of Christian parents,
Sunday school superintendent, and
teachers.
No doubt, in response to this appeal,
many parents who have neglected this
duty will supply their own children,
and the Sunday schools which have
the means will see that every scholar
has the gift of a Bible. But this will
still leave great many who can only
be supplied by the beneticence of this
great Society and its numerous auxili-
aries. TO enable them to accomplish
work of such magnitude .ill require
increased gifts to the Parent Society
and its auxiliaries.
In England, and on many parts of
the continent, they have been for
long time using theYates horseshoe,
one made by COMPRISING common
cowhide. 1t is composed of three
thicknesses of the cow-skin pressed in
to steel mold, and then subjected to
Il chemical preparation. 1t is claimed
for it that it is much lighter, that it
lasts longer, and that split hoofs are
never known in horses using it. 1t is
is perfectly smooth on the bottom. 10
calks being required, the shoe adher-
ing firmly on the most polished sur
face. Its elasticity prevents many
sprains, the horses steps being lighter
and surer. Straw, treated with chemi-
calls unknown, has been used for
horseshoes for centuries in Japan.
Perhaps some American genius will
give us paper horseshoe-who
known?-SH. Louis Repu6lican.
