clSeS, but the afternoon and evening
was fair and the program of the day
was pretty well carried out. 1t was a
great day at Lyndon. The number of
people present was estimated to have
been from ten to twelve thousand.
We will give detailed account of the
proceedings next week.
The Epworth League Convention
was held at LyndOnville, June, "a.
The Pres. Rev. G.. NJ. Curl, being in

FRIGHTENING AGRICULTURAL
SKIES.

It begins to look as though, after
several years of pretty hard struggling
with low prices, the American farmer
were once again on top. The June
report of the statistician of the De-
partment of Agriculture is full OF
promise for him. Prices for all kinds
of farm produce have now reached a
point which restores farming to the
category Of profitable occupations,
and they will probably remain there,
Notwithstanding the unusually album
dant crops in prospect. A large yield
often has the effect of so depressing
prices as to net less than a short crop
at better prices. This years big crops,
however, will be accompanied, unless
all signs fail, by a short crop in Eu-
rope, so that good prices, as well as a
good yield, now seem a certainty.
When millions Of acres of virgin
soil has been turned to wheat in a few
years, Quitting all markets and reduc-
ing prices below the point of profit,
the demagogue was on hand to ex-
plain to wheat growers that it was all
the work of the "gold bugs'' or the
"rObber tariff. Now to his great
grief the glut had disappeared and
paying prices have returned under
the Mckinley law and in spite of the
alleged Vaccinations of the malevo-
lent "gold- bug" With good prices
for all the farmers have to sell and
the. lowest prices they have ever
known for what they buy, the dema-
gogue must be totally discredited
with them. He has been the most
deadly of the pests which prey on ag-
riculture. Returning prosperity will
act upon him as Paris green on thep
tato bug. Every one else will rejoice
and share in the blessings which al
ways come to the Industrial world
when agriculture thrives.

WILLOUGHBY LAKE.

Everything considered, the Univer-
salist Grove Meeting held here last
week was a success. The weather
was rather cool which necessitated
some of the meetings being held in
the spacious parlOrs of the WillOugh
by Lake House. The attendance on
Sunday was unusually large, the sur
rounding country for twenty miles
turning out en- m1asse. The meeting
was under the immediate supervisor
of Rev. F. Millar of Glover and it is a
fact much to Mr.. Millar's credit that
the programme was well carried out,
and Mr.. Millaris gaining in his already
good reputation as a manager as well
as preacher Mr. Millar announced
that Rev. A. A. Miner, D. D., pastor
of the Columbus Avenue UniversaIist
church of Boston and Rev. w. H.
Morrison of Manchester, n. H., would
preach at the Camp Ground at Lyn-
donville the first Sunday in August.
These men are leading lights among
Universalists and it is a matter of
much credit on the part of Mr.. Millar
that the services of these talented
men are secured for this occasion. Bv
request, Rev. F. Millar will hold
meeting some time in August at Fos-
ter's grove, if necessary arrangements
can be made. The ever genial and
obliging Capt. Averill has launched
his steamer, EBen Hur,0 and has be-
gun regular trips. The Captain is
better posted on Willoughby Lake
and its surroundings than any other
living man and richly deserves the
liberal patronage he is receiving. The
The Gilmans, who keep hotel at the
north end of the Lake, are having a
good patronage. Their reasonable
prices and genuine, old fashioned hos
pitality count in their favor with the
public. Year by year more people
are getting their eyes open to the fact

While Americans think very little
about the Canadians and do not seem
to be inclined to make the slightest
effort to get more of the Canadian
trade or Canadian emigration, the
Canadians themselves are discussing
very seriously whether and how they
can lessen the growing tendency of
their own people to become citizens
of the United States.
Within the present week dispatches
have been received at Washington
stating that the Dominion Govern
ment had determined to try to induce
a large portion of the Canadians now
in the United States to return to their
native land.

thority on this growingly important
subject, in his recent work on ssCana-
da and the Canadian Question:" saws

on the south of the line 1,0OO, 900 of

The National Temperance Advocate
notes with approval the recent action
OF the Prussian government in a
decree which was introduced into
parliament with the approval of the
emperor placing restrictions upon the
SAFE OF intoxicating liquor. In Ger
many Ihls means much. The bill pro-
vldes for the revoking of saloon Ii
censes and the imposition of fines
upon the saloon keepers who encour-
age persons ofinebriate habits. 1t al
so proposes to fine drunkards them
selves when they are poor, and so
prevent them from indulging in the
vice OF lntemperance, and in cases
where fines presumably would not
have the desired effect imprisonment
is to be imposed.

that it has 300 subscribers in the Unit
ed States, and believes that in fifteen
years it must have lost LOCO in that
way; and from another Journal, issn-

there has been almost at standstill.

that Willoughby Lake as a pleasure or
fishing resort is second to no other in
New England. The Universalists are
giving Willoughby Lake a boom, and
gaining much credit and goodwill
for themselves; as their meetings
were quiet and orderly and their
speakers, men of ability and learning.
New cottages are being erected in the
Foster grove, and in fact it is notice
able to an occasional visitor that Will
oughby Lake is looking up and ere
long must be one of New England's
prominent watering places. However,
do not miss a trip around the lake
with Capt. Averill; it won't cost much
and will be a feast for soul and body.

The reciprocity treaty between this
country and Spain has been signed.
1t goes into effect on September 1.
The main provision of the treaty, it
will be remembered, is that manufac-
tured goods and farm products of this
country viii be admitted to Cuba free
in return for the privilege Of sending
free sugar here. No one can object
to such treaty as this. 1t is a good
business bargain.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is Cat
arrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment. Halls Cat
arrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surface of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work The proprietOrs
have much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of testi-

Interest in the Nicaragua Canal
project is increasing. The work pro-
posed is thoroughly practicable. 1t
involves no problem upon which
men of science can radically differ.
By far the greatest difficulty imposed
by the enterprise was the reopening
of the harbor of GreytOwn. This has
already been accomplished.
OF the 40 miles of the canal, only
cuttings; the other 143 miles are plain
navigation in the river and the lake.
The only serious cut is between the
lake and the Pacific, and this is only
about eleven miles long.

Secretary Proctor's connection with
the settlement of the direct tax matter
should be understood by every citizen
of the state. Just the nature of it
cannot prehaps be known, but the
fact of his presence in the cabinet and
his intimate acquaintance with the at
torney- general unquestionably made
it possible that the case of the state
would be promptly, fairly and clearly
stated. Had there not been some
such potent influence in Washington,
we venture to say the decision would
not have come SO promptly, and pos
sibly it would not have been so fav-
orabIe The incident illustrates the
Importance to a state of utilizing in
politics really able men.

The experience of Americans in the
war for the Union justifies hesitation
in accepting every story that comes
from Chill about the alleged barbara
ties of the President of the republic in
the treatment of his enemies. That
the war has been carried on savagely
on both sides there is no doubt. Of
this there is sufficient evidence. But
the stories of absolute, cold blooded
cruelty depend upon mere assertion.
1t is a pitiful conflict, whether the
statements are true or false, and it is
greatly to be regretted that the well
meant efforts of the American Minis
ter to bring about an adjustment of
the difficulties did not avail. There is
strong ground for believing that the
insurgents, confident of European
sympathy and support, are not willing
to make such concessions as they
should be ready to make in the inter
est of Chili's welfare.

Just to keep his hand in, John Bull
is grabbing more territory. He has
just hoisted the British flag and claims
the island of Sabuton, near the Philip
pine group in the Pacific, and has also
formally made a claim onJpart of the
McKong Valley, now in dispute be-
tween France and Siam, on the ground
that the part in question formerly
belonged to the Kingdom Of Burmah,
annexed not long ago by the British.
Apparently John might as well
claim the thirteen original States.
They formerly belonged to Great Brit
ain.

The success of the United States in
material development is the most il
lustrious of modern times. The Amer
lean nation has not only successfully
borne and suppressed the most gigan-
tic and expensive war of all history,
but Immediately afterward disbanded
its army, found employment for all its
soldiers and marines, paid off most of
its debt, given labor and homes to all
the unemployed of Europe as fast as
they could arrive within its territory,
and still by a system of taxation so
indirect as not to be perceived, much
less felt. Because it is my deliberate
Judgment that the prosperity of Amer
lea is mainly due to it's system of pro-
tective laws, urge that Germany has
now reached that point where it is
necessary to initiate the tariff system
