One OF the prettiest and healthiest Of
the small towns of Ohio is Granville.
As an educational center Granville is
unsurpassed, as it has three large edu-
cational institutions within its borders,
aggregating over $50 students. Denison
University is probably the best known
and bears a high reputation for the
thoroughness of its course OF study.
Granville Academy not only prepares a
student for tho University. but also fur
nishes complete academic course, and
gives diploma to graduates. Shepard

for higher education OF young ladies.
Equipped with new buildings with COM

the above colleges are under the man
agement of d. b. Purinton, Ii. D., and
are unsectarian, although owned by the

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of peo-
pie attended the Wellsville fair yestor-

Mckinley and Governor Campbell, but
they were disappointed. Their disap.
pointment was nothing, however, com.
pared with the disappointment and
had the full assurance Of the presence
OF both distinguished gentlemen until
the governor took sick and then MINOR
Mckinley fought shy and eventually
filed another appointment in Marion
county instead. His reasons, ns

principals been here. Gen. Golf ami
l:lated his opponent and the poor
fellow imploringly rose to his feet
and looked off on poor little
race, thus mutely begging his
opponent TO let him out and
away. Mr.. Thurman was disappoint-
ment to his own party-but how could
it be otherwise in comparison with the
keenness, the fire, tile viSor, the pride,
the noble, confident bearing of that
grand fighter, Gen. Golf? The meeting
was lifeless until he opened his mouth,
then you should have seen how ami
mated things became. The crowd
wanted horse racing before, now they
wanted COTS eloquence. 1t was

care for any better speech than the

gave us yesterday, and it would be the
proper thing to take him at his word
and invite him back another time.

moro. Tie affair has aroused great in
dignation.
II the press can be driven out when
something occurs which the authorities
dread to have in the newspapers, it
would be more decent to follow the
New York plan and exclude the report
ers from the first. Then it might be
possible to subject condemned man to
any sort Of bung!ing torture and the re-
portcrs would not get hold of it. Amer
lean reporters would, but the English
would not, and that is all that concerns
the English bunglcrs.

Rev. Mir. NlacQucary's Case.


Rev. Howard MacQueary's sentence Of
suspension from the Protestant Episco-
pal ministry for six months ends the
middle OF this month. II he will not
then promise to work kindly in the
canonical harness and kick no more
over the traces he is to be deposed from
the ministry of his church. This was
the sentence imposed by the court that
tried him for heresy, and this sentence,
Mr.. MacQueary thinks, will give him a
standing in a court of law to upset the
whole proceeding.
lie argues that under the church law
he could have been admonished, sus-
pended or deposed, but only one PEN
atty could be inflicted for one oGense.
In his own case two penalties were i'm
posed, absolute suspension for period
and conditional deposition. lie says,
by way Of illustration, thatrit is as
though civil court should sentence
man to imprisonment for a certain
period, with the condition that at the
expiration OF that period he should be
hanged il he did not promise not to
commit the otrense again. Mr. Mac
Queary will not make the required
promise, and Bishop Leonard will en-
force the sentence in full.
The simplest way to bring the case
into u civil court is to ask for an iniunc-
ton restraining the Bishop Of Ohio
from enforcing the sentence Of the
ecclesiasticalcou He argues that his
relations with the church are in the
nature OF u contract, and If the chief
executive Of the ecclesiastical corpora
ton attempts to violate the terms of
the contract at becomes a matter OF
bread and butter" and he must protect
himself, however much he may regret
to have to resort to extreme measures
He thinks, away could still be found
to qniet tho matter, but fears that
partisan feeling will only make bad
worse.
Mr.. MacQueury sees no. attractive
future for him. If reinstated he fore
sees difficulty in getting church,
thanks to the gross ISLANDERS OF the re-
ligious press. He was trained for the
ministry and does not know what else
he could turn his hand to. Verify the
way of the hereto is hard. Mr.. Mac
Queary regards himself rs q much per-
secuted man, OF course, but lie is not
rejoicing and being exceeding glad in
his persecution. Nevertheless there is
fight in him, and the result OF his in
junction proceeding against Bishop
Leonard will be awaited with interest.
If he can show that the laws OF his
church have been disregarded by its
authorities the courts will certainly in
terierc in his behalf; but this will not
give him living. II he can show
damages, that might be as interesting
to some Others rs to himself

INC Stone bridge Lonn.

The Stone Bridge Loan.
The stone bridge matter becomes
more interesting daily. The work goes
on, the contractors want their money,
the loan commissioners say the loan
won't 90, the Council committee on
finance appoints a subcommittee to
help the commissioners do what they
say cannot be done.
Two of the loan commissioners are
bankers. All Of them are business
men who watch the drift of affairs and
understand the money market. II they
had not understood it before they would
now that they have tried and failed to
market u four.and-a-half per cent loan.
What reason is there to hope that the
assistant subcommittee can do what
the commissioners have failed to do?
II there be citizens so much inter
ested in tho stone bridge or in the
credit of the city that they vii take a
loan which the general money market
will not take, it is strange that they
have not come forward before this and
relieved the city of its embarrassment
II it be contemplated TO try the great
cities of the country, that means a
iunket without other fruit than bill
S of costs for travelling expenses. Nothing
else would como OF that unless the COM
missioners have not made a proper
effort to place the loan and are grossly
mistaken about what can be done; and
these would be wild assumptions.
The finance committee is temporizing
with a grave situation. The bridge is
under contract, the contractors are do
ing the work, and il they erect the
structure according to contract they
viii, have to be paid according to con-
tract There will be delay, but they
will have TO be paid at some time and
in some wny. Where is the money to
come from?
For the sake of EASY sailing the con.
tractors might be induced to compro.
mise with the city and top Off with a.
steel instead of n stone superstructure.
