FOR A SECOND TERN
A Story That Mr.. Harrison Would
Decline Denied.
ANXIOUS FOB A DENOMINATION.

Work While He Looks on and
Notes tho Effect - A Reported
Agreement Between the President
and Secretary Blaine.
CAPE MAY, Aug. 17.-President Har-
rison, through Private Secretary Hal
ford, denies the story that he is about
to declare over his own signature that
he will refuse to be candidate for re-
nomination. The president replied in
his usual manner that he would not dis.
cuss newspaper rumors The vigor with
which Mr.. Harrison's answer was made
made it quite apparent that no such let
ter will be written
Mr.. Harrison's friends say that while
the president is not candidate in the
sense of chasing after nomination he
does desire a nomination and is exceed
ingly anxious about it. His subordinates
are doing the work while he looks on and
notes the effect.
In the Presidents Interest.
Secretary Tracy and Attorney Gen
eral Miller, who were here some days
ago, are at present doing some good
work i'll Mr.. Harrison's interest. They
have recently approached congressman
and other prominent and influential pol
iticians relative to sending their respec-
tive delegations to the National Repub-
hcan convention next year. This is not
hearsay. The statement is based on
strong, substantial facts.
These two cabinet officials are now
engaged i'll preparing a slate to suit
their chief, and! through their combined
efforts it is Alid that the Maryland del
egation has already been pledged to Mr..
Harrison, Secretary Tracy and Congress-
man Mudd, of Maryland, having ar
ranged affairs to their entire satisfac-
tion.
Was This Report True?
The President has not written any let
ter declining to permit his name to come
before the national convention, but it is
that there exists an implied understand
ing between Mr.. Harrison and Secretary
Blaine to the effect that one of them
will decline in advance should the other
develop the greater strength. This is
simply tactit agreement. existing only
in the nferential sense, but it is said to
be an agreement nevertheless.
All of MIR. Harrison's friends seen
lately seem confident of his renomina-
ton, ard they unite in saying that the
President is too shrewd politician to
write letters at this juncture declining
a denomination he so much desires.
Congressman Reyburn, of Philadel-
phia, and George ID. McCreary, of the
same city, predict Mr. Harrison's renom-
ination and election with q degree of
certainty that is calculated to cheer the
heart OF the most sceptical Republican.

Selections from The Christian NGighbOr
Home and Abroad.

The churches in Christendom are
concerning themselves greatly about
sending out missionaries to "the
heathen." None too much, probably {;
but are they correspondingly concern
ed about the heather lat our doors. !"
The point to be considered is not
whether tie "heathen" should have
the gospel, nor whether men and mon-
ey should be sent and appropriated to
this end, but what "gospel' is sent to
the heathen abroad and what "gospeP'
is preached and practiced at home.
Stop and think, a minute or two if
you can spare the time. Are the
churches in Christendom giving the
nations in heathendom the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
as it is "in Jesus?" The churches at
home will hardly give the heathen a
better gospel than they themselves
preach and practice at home. If the
Christendom churches do not "walk
in the ordinances and commandments
of the Lord" it is not reasonable to
suppose that the sent-out heralds Of
the gospel of peace will give the heath
en- more scripturally correct edition
of Christianity to the disciples they
may make from among the heathen.
Whether the churches at home are
in alliance with war the reader is left
for observers to judge. If the churches
are at variance with Christianity on
the comprehensive evil of Wharf.-The
sum of all villainies-it may be asked
to what specific evil are the churches
consistently opposed? '"Thou therefore
which teachest another, teachest thou
not thyself?" physician, heal thy
self.n
The certain and permanent way to
evangelize the "heathen world" is to
crossity the churches in Christendom
make the churches at home in doc
trine and practice what they should
be and keep them so-and it will be
harder to keep the leaven from leaven-
ing the world than it is now to gel
men and money to carry the gospel to
a few spots in heathen lands.

What Others Say.
Nashville ddrOcufe.

Christ brings in the fear Of God as
the mighty force to eXpel the fear OF
men. Gods hell and Gods ability to
cast into that hell are Christ's reasons
for fearing God and not fearing men.
This is what our Christ teaches-not
the modern Christ of poetry, of senti'
ment, of sugar, but the real, historical,
divine Christ. He taught the necessi-
ty of fearing God because God had a
hell, hell beyond the limits of the
grave, into whose darkness and sor-
row he plunge both soul and body.
These may not be very high motives
according to our fastidious taste
this may not be very pleasing
business for our Christ to be doing
this may not be very delectable les
son for our Christ to be teaching, but
he is doing this very business never
theless. He is teaching this very i'm
portant and necessary lesson, that
God is to be feared because of his i'm
partial, rigorous, and penal power.
Let men do their worst, say Christ
they can only kill the bydy, their rage
their potency, and their impotency,
end at the grave; but Gods wrath
flames out in its terribleness, Gods
power takes OH its full force at the
point where mans dies.

The Philadelphia Press publishes a
list of the Southern State treasurers
who have defaulted since the war,
with the amount of shortage" charg-
ed to each-the total being $2,36S, ,545.
This is a considerable sun: but the
States in question have got off very
lightly nevertheless. The carpet-bag-
gers stole more from one State in one
year than all the defaulting Democrats
have stolen from all the States in a
quarter of a century.-Newsand Cour-
ier.
Whether the States got off lightly or
heavily, whether the carpet-baggers
stole more than all the shortages
[stealings] of the Southern State treas
urers put together, the latter are none
the less guilty of stealing. 1t doesn't
whiten the kettle" any at all to call
the "pot" black. Nor would A be
any the less guilty by saying to B

One. of our wisest and wittiest
friends insists that preachers ought
occasionally to be required to sit in the
pews, and listen to a sermon or a lee
ture from lay brother. The sugges'
ton is not lacking in merit. At least
two good ends would be served by the
proposed arrangement. In the first
place, the preachers would learn-per-
haps to their surprise-that it is not
the easiest thing in the world to listen
to a dull and tedious discourse and, in
the second place, the laymen would
likewise find out how hard and diff
cult a task it is to prepare and preach
an interesting and edifying sermon
Less of criticism and more Of sympa-
thy all around would be the probable
result.

The fearful events OF real Indian
warfare which have just occurred in
the West do not conflict with the judg-
ment, sustained by much testimony,
that very few of the Indians, in Dako-
ia or elsewhere, up to the time of the
panic at the Pine Ridge Agency, wish
ed to 60 upon the war path. 1t Ia the
TOO often repeated story of the stirring
up of strife by the demonstration OF
arms. Rifle and bayonet have been
met by rifle and tomahawk; Indians
before friendly have been made mad
dened to desperate hostility by the ap-
prehension that they were all to be
killed, and, savage-like, they have
sold their lives dearly. There is no
reason to doubt the truth of ex-agent
McGillicuddy's assertion, a month
ago, that he might, with authority
given him, have settled the whole
matter safely, without a flight.
Neither is there reason to doubt the
soundness of the more portentuos con-
clusion, that this great calamity,
which may put back the civilization
and citizenship of thousands of In
dians for years, has been due to the
miserable system of placing incompe-
tent agents, for partisan reasons, In

Judgment, experience and benevolent

/" "Education''-"EDUCATIoN"-"EDU-
CATION"

The great majority of men who
write or speak on the subject of educa-
ton, seem to US to be afraid to- talk
common, level-headed sense, lest they
be charged as patrons of ignorance
and opposers of progress.
The education demanded in these
days of progress" down-grade as we'll
as upgrade is education in morality
and manual labor. Educators would
do well to lay by, in degree, and for
q time, the "arts and sciences"-intel-
lect education-and employ their ener-
gies in educating the heads and hearts
of their students in the principles and
practice of Christian morality, and
their hands to work in some COM
mendable calling by which they could
support themselves and also help less
fortunate ones along in the world.
Let them be taught to ''be ashamed of
nothing but SIM"
That. man or woman who is best
qualified to meet the demands of the
everyday experience of the common
people" and "the pocr," and who at
the same time is "diligenti in business"
is best educated.

education which the to-day of the
country is needing.
