Advantages OF Good Schools.

One of the first questions asked 10y
people who think of coming to a town to
live is. What kind Of schools do you haVc2
If the schools are not good people will 90
to other places. This is one of the causes
Of abandoned farms. People are leaving
the country towns in search of better
schools. Parents do not take the utter
est in schools they should. Very few Of
the parents ever visit the school. The
teacher seeing this lack of interest does
not do the work she otherwise would.
The pupils also think it does not matter
whether they learn or not, and so the
school does not amount To much. The
parents lay the blame on tue teacher
when they are more to blame themselves.
Let the parents awake to the advantages
Of frequently visiting the Schoolroom and
take an interest in the work done and
we will have better schools, better towns,
fewer deserted farms and less grumbling
all around.-FUrm and Home.

The Raln-makers.

We find in recent copies of the Texas
Farm and Ranch, an agricultural journal
published at Dallas, Texas, much amusing
information concerning Gen. Dyrenforth's
rain. making experiments in that State. The
editor says that since these $50 called ex
periments were made under the supervision
of the Government and paid for by the peo-
pie, IKE people are entitled to reliable in
formation regarding them," and This he has
been endesvorng to obtain. As result he
has become convinced that all the reports
of success are FALSE that the experiments
were ridiculous failures, that clouds came
up and threatened rain before any explosives
were used, that some of the heavy rain claim
cd to have been caused by the explosions fell
the day before the General had unpacked
his materials, and that ''it is probably true
that more atmospheric conclusion was made
by the jack-rabbit hunters in the vicinity in
one day than was caused by the combined
efforts of the rain-makers." The editor Of
fers 800 reward for proof that his reports
of the experiments are not true in every
essential statement, and we advise Uncle
Jerry Rusk to see if he cannot win it. OF
all men in the United States, he ought to
be interested in demonstrating that the ex.
periments have not been the entirely idiOtic
performances which all respectable authori
ties represent them to have been, for he is
the officer Of the United States Government
in charge of them, and of the $12, 900 spent
in making them.-N. Y. Nation.

No Third Party.

The Richmond Times, after showing that
the farmers OF this State are too wise and
patriotic to form third party, says:-
"What is true in Virginia has also been
proven true in other States. We read that
in Mississippi the Democratic leaders were
courageous enough to make square fight
against the sub Treasury scheme of the AL.
lance, and they were rewarded for stand
ing out boldly against dangerous popular
delusion. The election left hardly REM
nant of the new party which at one time
seemed able to carry everything before it.
Even in Kansas the peoples party" did
not display half the formidable front that
PETER and Simpson claimed 1t would, for
ont of their nine candidates for positions
on the circuit bench the cheap money par
ty succeeded 10 electing only one. and yet
year ago this party elected 81 out of 124
members of the popular branch Of the
State Legislature. So in other States
where "the Peoples party" claimed to be
all.powerfu,, or certainly able to hold the
balance OF power, the same results were
experienced, and 1t turned out to be hard
iy worth considering as a political factor.
There is every indication, therefore, that
the much Wanted third party will scarcely
be heard of in the presidential election of
next year. With the farmers as farmers,
aud with the Farmers Alliance as an or
gan:za:ion formed only to advance the in
terests Of the agrculturists of the land, all
citizens fesl the deepest sympathy; bat with
the Alliance as political organic alton, or
with any third party wha.eysr, the people
of NJ section of the country, and especially
in the South, have patience"

When @. P. Huntington started the town
of Huntington, W. Va, about twenty years
ago, it attracted great 6eal of attention.
It was the first town to spring up and as.
sun,e city shape and style within few
years. But when the Chesapeake and Ohio
extended its line beyond Huntington croak-
ers said that the new town was ''done for"
that it co lid only live as the terminus of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The
fact is, though, that Huntington is grow.
ing at . faster rate to-day than ever before.
When the road made it's western connec.
ton Huntington had population of only
about 1000. 1t now has population of
about II, 900, and is regarded as one of the
most sol i'd cities in the Ohio Valley. Ash
land, KY, about seventeen miles west of
Huntingt on. is also growing rapidly. Ash
land was laid out about thirty years ago,
but it did not begin to grow fast until the
Chesapeake and Ohio reached it. The
Chesapeake and Ohio has done much for
Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
Cities and towns are springing up all along
the line, and northern and foreign capital
is pouring into these places. Twenty-Five
years ago Mr.. Huntington predicted all this
Chesapeake and Ohio development that is
now taking place.-Richmond State.
There is nothing more palpable than the
fact that railroads are great public benefac-
tors, and legislators should be very careful
how they legislate in reference to them,
otherwise they may ''kill the goose that
lays the golden egg"

A BOLD RoBBERY.-On Sunday night
thieves broke into the store room of Mr..
Louis Sachs, on Main street and succeeded
in getting away with quantity of goods.
Entrance was effected through window in
the kitchen in rear of the store, thence by
removing the lock clasp of the door leading
into the hall, and then by prizing the door
open witch leads into the rear of the store.
This was done by an axe, which the rogues
left in the store. Their stealngs consisted
of five or six suits of clothes, Winchester
rifle, two revolvers, rings. earrings and 9TH
er small jewelry. Mr.. Sachs estimates his
loss at $500. Suspicion rests against a cou-
pie of negroes, and it is thought that they
can be caught.
Two or three weeks ago some one stole q
key belonging to the front door, and it Is
said that an entrance was first attempted
by the use of this key, but Mr.. Sachs had
otherwise scared the door. 1t is to be
hoped the culprits will be captured and
their booty recovered. Forge Val-

WHAT Do THEY MEAN ?-Who is there
who can reconcile the conflicting views and
opinions of Republican leaders and jour
nalists as to the aim, object and effect Of
the Mckinley tariff Two years ago, from
one end of the country to the other, the
cry was "home market and ''protectlon
to the American laborer." 1t is we'll
known that the bill was framed to restrict
foreign importations 30 as to secure the
home market for our manufacturers. But
now Republican leaders and journals are
actually boassing that for the year ending
September Both foreign impogIstions were
81 900 900 greater than during the year
preceding.
During his recent campaign in Ohio,
Gov Campbell raked the State with a fine
tooth comb in search of the laborer, in any
manufacturing industry, whose wages had
been raised since the passage of McKiI-
ley's bill. He sought diligently but he
found not, nor have we seen or heard of a
Republican journal bold enough to assert
that wages have been increased one farth-
ing since the passage Of this law. Mr..
Hsr. Ison and Mr.. Mckinley expressed theil
contempt for q cheap coat, saying it meant
a che ap man in the coat, but now they
coast that the bill, as they claim, has no
increased prices. Will some good Re

The W. C. T. q.

We regard with pride and pleasure the
position aud influence of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. What
magnificent spectacle this week of meetings
is affording US of the character and power
eff woman. Surely the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union is the consummate how-
or of Christian womanhood in the nine
teenth century. We are not sure that even
yet woman has fully come to her kingdom,
but with such noble women before us as
Miss Willard, Mrs. Hannah Whital Smith,
Lady Henry Somerset, Mrs. Luigi Ange
lini, Mrs. Tel Sono, Mrs. A. ]. Gordon,
Mrs. Lathrop and many others, gifted with
rare powers as eloquent public speakers. or
as executive officers or as authors or as
profound thinkers, we must admit that the
dawn of woman's power Is upon us. There
was never more thoroughly or wisely or
Ranizsd benevolent institution than the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. 1t
It is simply marvel Of completeness.
is banding women together as has nothing
else, and as nothing else is likely to. It is
reaching out aud including in its reform
many correlated reforms, closely connected
with temperance, but not essentially part
of it. For example, the promotion of social
virtue has been made one of its many de-
poAtiAoutb, duu uOW III 4 ebdtcS duu tcIii-
tories there are as many srperintendencies
looking after this important reform. 1t is
firmly based on the Christian religion, and
happily brings together all Christians with
out regard to sectarian differences. 1t ia a
tremendous educating force, first OF all on
the women themselves who are engaged in
this work, broadening their minds, filling
them dwith philanthropic purpose, giving
them grand aims in life, and developing
their patriotism.
But still more is it an educator in bring.
ing the enthusiasm and holy purpose of
these women into contact with the sluggish
and selfish life of the day. Their devotion
to the cause of humanity is like the breath
of the salt sea on a heated July day. Al.
ready has this union accomplished great
things. It has led to helpful legislation by
the central government and by the legisls
lures Of many states. 1t has secured the
teachings of IL, 000, 900 of children as to the
evil effects of alcohol and tobacco on the
human system. 1t has entered numberless
homes and strengthened the Christian wife
and mother there to stand firm to her con-
victions of the right and to east her sweet
and persuasive influence inlfavor Of temper
ance, self.control and morality. It is, in
short. impossible to estimate the anna zing
good that has come from this world.reach-

OBJECTIONABLE STUPIDITY.-Take the
Democratic party as whole and it is a
unit on four great propositions, to-wit: The
need of a reform in the tariff; the right of
local self-rule as differentiated from the
odious ideas Of the force bill condemnation
of the revolutionary methods of ex-Speaker
Reed and economy and honesty in the adj
ministration of the Government. Now,
these propositions that will command the
support of every member of the party from
Maine to Texas, and from Florida to
California, are enough for the battle-cry of
1892. Let us cling to those things about
which there can be no disagreement-not
waste our strength in controversies within
our own lines.
In the language of Congressman Patter.
son of Tonne see, it would be ''unpardon-
able stupidity for the Democrats I'd fritter
away their splendid prospects by dividing
on the free coinage question" Free coin
age win come after awhile it is newt
able. But one thing at a time. Tho De-
mooracy should 60 before the country next
year presenting solid front on issues
which will oauseno dissensions in the ranks.
In other words they should fight battle to
win, and if they a1e united victory is sure.
