This morning about 8 o'clock one of
The greatest sensations for many day

work both day and night they finished it
late last eve and requested that il be
placed in Il show window in some dry
goods house in town, that parties who
were i'm town to-day might see what they
were competing for. The ladies were
proud of their flag, MS they had right to
be, because it was an elegant piece of
work besides being the adopted emblem
Of our country. No show window being
found to suit. it was hung mp in the rear
end of the grocery department of the new
Grange building, In a few minutes Ma
than Zimmerman, L. N. Hancock and
X. S. Henry, all stockholders in the
store. and all Republican stump speakers
this year, entered. Mr.. Henry inquired
about the flag and was informed as above

I'd their intcnslons afterward supporting

his matter away, but there can be no

EARLY CLOSING.

The ladies are always thoughtfully

Many of them are. willing to give up
shopping on Saturday afternoon so that
the young men can have an outing. and
they are the most effective advocates Of

some of them have organized cam

lodges. Their sympathies have been

SOME PROPOSITIONS
With Reference to the Comma
Schools.

With Reference to the Common
Schools.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The schools are training our children
to make things great, rather than devel-
rpping great men.
I, A purely intellectual training will
not necessarily make good citizen.
The disreSpect for law and order IN
which our children are growing up,
owing, in part. to false ideas of liberty,
is one of the greatest dangers to our
American institutions.
Respect for human laws does not ex-
ist where there is no respect for the law
of God.
is We cannot safely Danish ali religious
instruction from our common schools.
Denominational schools are not the
true remedy for the existing defect.
=9They are the breeding places of schism,
fostering the specialties of each secta-
rian creed. and training bigots. They
are out of harmony with the unity of
the American nation and the longing
for Christian unity which is so preva-
lent at this time.
There is a central principle in our
various creeds which may safely be
taught to all children in the public
schools.
Our boosted liberty of conscience does
not require US to reduce our schools to
the level of the Chinaman, the Turk, or
the infidel, lest we should teach some
thing that they do not believe.
Every child should learn the true pur-
pose of life. namely: ITO know God
and to enjoy Him forever" Only the
fool would rob him of such knowledge.
An education that does not lead up to
contentment and happiness is little
short OF worthless.
Every true friend of America wants
to see the preservation and perfection
of the public school system. c. E. H.

OUTING FOR CHILDREN.

In some of the cities of this country
enterprising and humane newspapers
OF individuals often send some of the
little ones out to the country on eXcur-
sions in hot periods; but there is no
systematic movement, as in the cities
of slow old countries over the water. A
liberal old gentleman in Paris initiated
the movement there few years ago,
and it has become regular and con-
siderable matter. 1t is not a mere
frolie of day, but the children most in
need are selected and sent out for
month. In one of these, at cost of so
cents day, the boys and girls came
back with all average increase of weight
of eight pounds. The city council now
appropriates some of its special funds
for the purpose. The example has been
followed and become custom in Italy,
Spain, Denmark and other countries.
The children are more frequently quar-
tered with the peasants, and acquire
views of life that are novel and useful
to them

usually give too little attention to get
ing sufficient and regular sleep. The
nights in this climate are usually SO de-
lightful, even in the hottest days, that
there is great temptation to remain up
too late, and reduce the hours of sleep
when there is really more mead of this
inauguration than at any other time.
The heat makes greater demands upon
the physical powers than cold, and
sound sleep must be had if one would
keep the system in good condition.
The young require more sleep than the
old. They absorb more of the nutritive
elements, and can stand less drain OH
their vitality. Persons who do not
easily go to sleep can find aid in the
bath. and more especially in mental
satisfaction. An aged person, who is
something of a philosopher, says his
rule has always been to allow the mind
to dwell only OH pleasing things. If
there is anything specially agreeable
to it in his recent history, he forces it
to the mental front, and in his view it
adds a glow to the delightful sleep that
almost invariably follows.

A Rad PRACTICES.

The porterS upon the Pullman palace
ears have union that has in contem-
plation strike for pay from the COM
pany, instead of having, like the para
sites. to feed off of those so unfortunate
as to be at their mercy. The company
pays them SIS month and forces them
to work the passengers for the rest.
The Pullman is an enormously wealthy
institution, and its.divIdends roll obesely
into fat pockets. 1t avoids taxation
with great success in Illinois. Its tariffs
are quite adequate for the payment of
the porters. 1t should pay them, and
make it fatal offense for one of them
to accept tip. Still, the present plan
has too much richness in it for the COM
pany to be given up willingly. Pub
lie opinion should encourage the por
tiers to strikes if needful to break up
the present system; and if they don't
strike refuse to tip them, compelling
them to resign if their employers will
not pay them. 1t is not understood
that the porters object so much to the
results of the tipping system as to the
Auilllldlloll. IL cOilpelS Guo porter W
often ask the traveller for pay for pre-
tense of service or something not want

feeling, but an exaction, and the traveller
often feels that it is an imposition. 1t
is an odious old-world practice, that is
obtaining in this country too numerously
in hotels, restaurants and Oh railways.
1t would aid materially in discounte-
naneing the practice and add greatly to
the popularity of the Pullman service if

TO LICENSE HoRsEsHoERs.

Most people recall the Learned black
smith" of Massachusetts, who was re-
garded as phenomenon because he ac-
quired a haIf-dozen or more languages,
and furnished his intellectual machin-
cry in striking way. No reason APP
pears why the blacksmith should not be
as intelligent and cultured as any class
of citizens. His vocation is one that re-
quires skill, tact and brains. The health
and usefulness of a horse may be affected
very seriously by iDartistic work upon
the hoofs. Yet it requires some consid-
Grafton to avoid surprise that in Eng
land influential public meetings should
be held to promote the elevation of
the farrier's art to the rank of
licensed vocations, with examinations
and grades of proficiency in the
science. One of these meetings in Lon
don was presided over by the lord
mayor and patronized by the Baroness
BURDETT-CouTTs. The object as set
forth is to secure parliamentary act
that will not allow man to shoe a
horse unless he has been found by all

lntricacies and profuDdities of the vOca-
ton. Possibly the educational course
will take the horse back to the origin of
the species, and give profound eluci-
dation of the noble animal. Still, the
idea seems little odd, that the business
should be put on the list with those who
are licensed to ''kill or cure' human
beings. 1t may be suspected that it is
a phase of the growing tendency of the
times to make monopolies of lines of in
dustry and activity. The other fellows

St Paul Daily News Rep)
That paper has been for week pa st
begging St. Paul support because it had
been boycotted by Minneapolis. Our
citizens should not allow any sympathy
over the present situation to run away
with their Judgment. They should
bear in mind that when Minneapolis
was only large, struggling village the
Pioneer Press began to bolster 1t up
and used the circulation and business
it had secured in st. Paul to build up
a competing city. 1t has been rare
that that paper has published an arti-
Gle relative to st. Paul which our citi-
zens would be glad to circulate as an adj
vertisement of this city, without in the
same issue having an article equally
valuable for Minneapolis. We have
seen thousands of copies Of the p. P.
thrown into waste baskets by our citi-
zens, who, on second thought, after
purchasing them, felt that it was mex
pedient to circulate them for the reason
named. 1t has been the business policy
of that paper to deliberately build up
Minneapolis at the expense of st. Paul,
and there is not an old resident of the
city who will not admit we speak with
decided moderation when we say that
the course of that sheet has
been piratical throughout. One
city has been played against the
other, while the greedy manager had an
arm rammed up to the shoulder in the
pocket of each. Because by accident
its Shiny hand, which was designing to
work in secret against Minneapolis, has
been exposed, and it suffers at the Min
neapolis end of the line. there is no oc-
casion for st. Paul sympathy. 1t has
relied upon its location in st. Paul to re-
tain business here, while it gIorified
Minneapolis at the expense of our in
terests. 1t is sheet utterly devoid of
heart or conscience; ready to pray like
a vulture upon any individual or COM
munity which it can bleed, and it now
seeks to make merchandise of what it
should have done as a matter of princi-
ple-if such word can be used in even
a remote sense in connection with such

WILL KEEP up THE FIGHT.

1t seems that the lottery company in
Louisiana failed to stand by its PROPOSE
ton to leave the decision to the white
vote of the state taken at a primary
election. This was probably the last
recourse, but its potent agencies appear
to have secured votes enough to pass
the bill over the veto of the governor.
Still the anti-lottery people propose to
go on with their fight. and not relax
effort till the people have voted it into
the constitution. The women of the
state arc preparing to organize cru
SADIE against it. This is a feature not
common to political movements in that
section. The contest is not to be on
state lines alone; congress will be asked
to look out and find some point where it
can get in blow at the demoraIiZing
institution. The mails may be closed to it,
and national banks prohibited from any
connection with the lottery. According
to the New Orleans Delta, the feature
that is working the greater injury to its
city is the daily twenty-fve-cent draw
ing. This absOrbs 0,000 day, s., 100, 900
per year, nearly all paid by the people
with small earnings, who often pinch
themselves and families to bring this
daily tribute to the remorseless cormo-
rant. This keeps thousands in con-
slant fever of expectation and unsettles
habits of industry, and can but be ter
ribly demoralizing to community. Out
of this $4,000 per day filched out of the
pockets of poor negroes and bewildered
whites it is stated that less than $4,000
is paid in premiums. The infatuation of
gambling has little regard to the practi-
Gal relations of things. and the multi
tudes will come up with their offerings
