A Word to County Institutes.

1t has been a stereotVped custom in this
and other counties as fitting termination of
the institute, for some one attending, to in
troduce resolution oondemning the meth
DDS pursued by the county board of examin-
ers or some individual of such board; and
there are cases on record where such resolu-
tion recommended that the board be reno
vated-that it should>resign, in other words.
These resolutions seldom fail to go through
with whoop and feeling permeating the
whole assembly that blow had been dealt,
pregnant with terrible calamity, against the
examiners. II these hasty and foolish teach
ers will stop to think that the county board
of examiners is answerable to the probate
Judge for both appointment and record OF
the appointment and that it is impervious to
all the bombarding they may see fit to give
it; if they will understand sufficiently human
nature (and as teachers such they shonld) to
see that antagonism begats antagonism and
inthis case.the examiner wears a..coat of mail;
if the teachers 80 "incensed" will take a
second thought they will relegate these reso-
lutions to dusty top shelf and work for
what is claimed to be- their ''iust rights" in
other channels and with less viciousness.

Not Due to M'Kinley's Bill.

Last Wednesday the local Mckinley
organ editorially announced that Zone
of the largest beet sugar factories in the
world is in course of construction and
will soon be in operation in San Ber-
nardino county, Cal.," and added that
"the land will at once be planted with
beets." Tt gives all the credit Of the
enterprise to the Mckinley bill.
We have before us private letter
from San Bernardino county, Oal.,
dated Sept. IL, 1889, before the organi-
zation of the congress that passed the
Mckinley bill and when no one dream
ed of the sugar bounty scheme. The
writer said parties from San Francisco
came into the county on the preceding
February and planted sugar beet seed
to test the quality of the land. The re-
suit was so satisfactory that the San
Francisco parties talked of putting up
a sugar factory costing between $780,
900 and $500,000 which they hoped to
have ready by July, 1890.
twill be seen that this beginning
of what will, in a few years, be the
largest sugar producing enterprise in
the world' is In no way due to the Nc
Kinley bill. It was begun when Nc
Kinley had not written the first line of
his bill. 1t would have been carried on
if the bill had never been drawn up

above Jefferson. The text was, "There
is time to Dance" and in his address
the speaker denounced the dance as the
first though unconscious step toward
Immortality.
He said: Dancing is nothing more
nor less than fashionable embracing
and is detrimental not only to the NOR
al but to the physical health of the dam
Ger, as the costumes worn are of the
most scanty character as rule. Many
poor unfortunate now lying at deaths
door with consumption can trace the
first cause Of her disease to the whirl
and glamour of the ball room. The
Chief of the New York Police stated in
his last report that three-fourths of the
fallen women of that great city took
their first step toward immortality
through dancing. What the alcohol is
to wine, unholy thoughts and passions
are to the dance, and young woman
can not leave a ball room as pure and
chaste in thought at least as she was
when she entered it. Dancing as men
toned in the Bible is in no way synony-
NOUS with the dance of to-day. Their
the men danced alone and the women
alone, and did it as sign of praise and
thanksgiving to God"

Abuse OF the Overcheck Rein.

ABUSE OF the OVerCnoCK he1n.
This is an evil that is growing rapid
ly in our community, and if not stop
ped will prove serious matter to over
come. IF the horse is checked too high
he will throw his head from side to side
and has no freedom, but is continually
Jerking his head to relieve himself.
Again, by the abuse of the overcheck
rein, it proves hurtful, and the neck be-
comes curved in the wrong direction,
which is not graceful but painful. If
caught in a rainstorm, or if driven with
the sun shining in his eyes, he is COM
PEELED to submit to irritating pain and
great distress. With the head cruelty
overchecked, it is impossible for the
animal to see road or know where to
travel any more than if he were blind.
It produces numerous and fatal diseas-
es, and over five hundred veterinary
surgeons in Great Britain have signed
a paper cOndemning in very strong
terms the overcheck rein. It Injuries
the horse by confining the head in a
constrained position, while the heart
and lungs are excited by action; hinders
the breathing and circulation of blood
in the head. Other not uncommon re-
suits of its use are distortion of the wind
pipe to such a degree as to impede res
piration ever afterward, excoriation Of
the mouth and lips, paralysis ofthe
muscles Of the face, etc. The only ar
gument that horsemen claim for its use
Is in the training of horses for the race
course.

The brutes had been brought from Phil
a delphia on Sunday. but had been left
in the car, in consequence of the storm
until so late on Monday that they could
not be fed at the Standard beford the
performance. They were ravenously
hungry when, after the dispersal of the
assemblage, chunks of raw meat were
flung into their cage, which is situated
in rear corner of the stage. They
roared loudly, and soon fight broke
out among them. The attendants has
tily summoned Darling, who calmly
opened the door, walked in among the
six lions, pulling the fighting ones
apart with his hands, wrenched the
meat out Of their mouths, and made
them lie down. He was only armed
with whip, but was accompanied by
his big dog, and the lions did not seem
for an instant to doubt his power to dc

ustling sound was heard, like the
crushing of soft silk in ones hand. 1t
was withal pleasing sound.

man, hardly before the fair shopper had
passed out of earshot.
~Why." explained his fIiend, "it
came from that lady's skirt. It is wo-

Changing the Western Ohio Boun-
Diary.

The resolution which it is proposed
by some members of the present Ohio
Legislature to introduce, asking for a
committee to investigate the matter of
the boundary between Ohio and India
ma, brings forward a question of inter-
state relations almost as complicated as
the recent supreme court decision re-
lating to Kentucky's ownership of the
Ohio river.
The claim is set up, and the records
of Ohio's admission into the Union
show, that the boundary between Ohio
and Indiana was to be q line extending
directly northward from the mouth Of
the Great Miami river. Instead of this
the survey was inaccurate, and the line
diverged from true course, until at
the end upon the Michigan boundary
it was twelve miles east Of the point
