Just the Medicine.
Holdred1e Progress.

"VFf"N
The monopoly press of this state are
thrown into spasms by the mere mention
that Van Wyck is a possible candidate for
governor. We are no special admirer of Van
Wyck, but seeing how intensely he is hated
by every railroad organ and monopoly apol,
ogist, we begin to think it might be just the
medicine the people ought to give them.
They need both a heroic physic and emetic
In order to compel them to let go their grasp
upon this state. If. Van Wyck is taken up
by the farmers and laborers he will get there,
and don't you forget it. The voters of this
state will no longer allow the railroads and
monopolies to name the candidates for office
the people are TO vote for. Stick another pin
there every party bugler.

THE Atlanta Journal prints the names
OF three hundred and thirteen taxpay-

twenty-five thousand TO four hundred

is more significant is that the returns

Whence came the clouds that hang aloft

The herds on meadows and in croft,
That feed earth's hungry m%iilionsi
Whence came the flowers that fill the air

And whence came all things pure aud fair
Which win men unto Duty,
Whence came the rays so swift aud bright

Which makes mans viii victoriousl
Whence came the father-heart in man.

Let Them Take Heed.

Governor Thayer has issued an address to
the managers of all railroads doing business
in the state, asking them, in view of the low
price of corn, to make a reduction of their
rates on that commodity of 8 cents per 100
pounds. The roads will PROBABLY not heed
the gentle aimonitlon, but if they do not the
people will talk through the next legislature
they elect in tones that the companies will
heed. That's right.

UNDER the orders OF the district
court judges the old system OF selecting

on the sheriff and county board the
grave responsibility of selecting honest,
Intelligent and disinterested citizens TO

court and litigants that the best pos
sible material be chosen to expedite

the faint Of influence or prejudice. The
professionals should be rigidly excluded
as well as the man who has been
recommended or who has applied for a

The letters c. L. s. c. stand for the
Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle
This is really one Of the most notable and
interesting features of the assembly. It
was organized in 1873 for the purpose Of
promoting habits of reading and study in
nature, art, science and literature in con-
nection with the routine Of daily life, and
is more especially intended TO be helpful to
those whose means are limited and whose
advantages are circumscribed.
When this plan of home study was first
unfolded at meeting held in the amphi-
theatre 200 persons Joined the society at
once. Now there are 1900 local circles, as
the groups Of students are denominated,
and they are literally all over the face Of
the earth. Even in South Africa there
have been several hundred members en-
rolled, and Miss " f. Landfear who is
the secretary for South Africa, with her
headquarters at Wellington, Cape of Good
Hope, is here &C the assembly, and gives a
cheerful report Of the immense good
wrought in that region by the c. L. S. c.
Japan has its circle also, but in that coun-
try it has been found necessary to arrange
special course
The secretary Of the c. L. 2. c. is Miss
Kate +. Kimball. one Of the youngest
women among the leaders at cnautauqua-
Sbe has been a worker in the society for
twelve years. She said of it:
The enrollment for the first year, or the

same time. members are following the
same line Of work, and members Of the
same circle, whether in their first or either
succeeding year, are going over the ground

The books chosen are not text books, be-
cause this is a reading course and subjects

Education Under Control of the Church.
In 1857, during the reign of James VI of
Scotland, it was thought expedient that
the Reformed church should have jurisdic-
tion over the schools, and this was pro-
vided for by having the teachers approved
by church authority. Here is the old law:
Item, Forsameikle as be all Lawes and
constitutions it is provided that the youth
be brocht up and instructed in the feare of
God a2d guide maneris: and gIf it be uther-
wise it is tinsel bath of their bodies and

Quheirfoire our Sovereigne Lorde, with
advice of my Lorde Regent and the three

Colleges be reformed: And that name be

and care thereof in time cumming, nor TO
