HOW TO GET A READING.

Not long ago an intelligent
ge entleman said concerning the
contents printed in leading
religious Journal: "T go through
the paper examining the titles,
glancing at the train of thought
in each, reading some articles
carefully and passing others by.
When I find an article over two
columns in length | omit it,"
This may not be a wise plan,
but it illustrates q prevalent
custom among readers. The
spirit of the age demands CON
dersatinn and brevity. We may
fight against this tendency, and
show the nnreascnableness of
the demand for short sermons,
short newspaper articles and
treatises on great subjects, but
we cannot control the conditions
which produce it. The best
way is to recognize the fact and
take advantage of the opportu-
nifty. The thoughts which have
been elaborated in great books
would find a wider circulation
and accomplish more good il
they were compressed into &
smaller space. Many fine work:
are little read because they are
so vOluminous. The books OF
the Bible are all short. The
largest of them can be read in ;
few hours. Divine wisdom il
manifest in this provision which
is necessary in order to adap
the Bible to every age.-N. Y
Advocate.

mot THE RESULT OF AGITATION BY
OFFICE SEEKERS"

The Farmers Alliance is con-
spicuOus as an organization that
is strictly nonpartizan, and yet
known to exert a powerful in
fluence upon the politics Of the
country. Another remarkable
feature Of that order is that its
influence upon the politics OF
the various sections in which it
Is the most prominent seems to
be of a local and spontaneous
character, and yet SO general is
that condition that it resembles
a perfect ground swell. The
Alliance has no political leaders
debating it's course and build
ing their own fortunes, as has
been usual in. all political rev
olutions Of the past. What po
litical action it has taken ha'
originated IN the ranks as tn,
result of education, and is no
the result OF agitation by off
cers.-National Economist.

Cniarrh CANT BE Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATION, as
they cannot reach the scat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is II blood or constitu-
tional disease, and in order to cure it
YOU have to take internal remedies.
Ilalls Catarrh Cure is taken intern
ally, and acts directly on the blood
and mucu5 surface. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is no quack medicine. 1t was
prescribed by one of the best physi-
clans in this country for years, and is
regular prescription. 1t is COM
posed of the best tonics known, COM
hncd with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucus surface.
The perfect combination of the two

wonderful results in curing catarrh.

THE VANCE RESOLUTIONS

Mr.. Editor: In your report OF |
proceedings uf the County Con-
vention you are in erro: in re-
gard 20 the wording and |
strength of the Vance resolu-
tiOns, as passed. The first reso-
lHtions brought i'll b7 the com
mittee on esolutinns, and which
were rejected by vote of eight
townships to seven, commended
the course of Senator Vance and
instructed our nembe-s in the
Legislature "tu vote 70" him un-
der all circumstances and to use
all honorable means 20 secure
hise re election to the United
States Senate"
The second resolution, intro
duced bv DR.. G.. w. Mossley, was
highly comm endAtory and APP
proved of his course in the Sen
ate.
Mr.. w. b. Stewart, however, so
amended this resolution as to
instruct our members to vote for
Vance "first last and all the
time," and added that while he
did not insist on the exact words
above, yet the purpose Of his
amendment was to make their
instructions firm and positive.
The exact words of the motion
as amended we're clearly stated
by the chairman, the resolution
as amended put. and carried
unanimously. We fail to dis
cover any milder instructions
therein. Nj.
The writer of the above is in
error about the resolution with
reference to Vance that was Vo-
ted down, coming from the Com
mittee on Resolutions. The re-
port of that committee was adOp-
ted in full without a single word
being changed. We know for
we wrote them Onrself. AS they
were written they were passed,
and as they were passed they
were published i'll last week S
issue and again in this. 1t was
IL resolution brought in by the
Committee on Rules that was
voted down. The resolutions OF
DR.. Moseley are i'll substance the
same as those passed from the
Committee OH Resolutions. II
Mr.. Stewart made an amend
ment we did not hear it and fail
to find it in the proceedings OF
the meeting as handed us by Mr.
=. r. Herring, the Secretary
But why this "much ado ABOUT
nothing" All three of the leg
islative nominees of the Demo
cratic Convention of the 1Otl
instant will vote for Vance s re
election. It is amusing to SCI

capital at the expense Of Vance
