The Memphis district, which embraces

The present season, however, has been
most unfavornble since July, when con-

MUNICIPAL LIQUOR-sELLINa.

Our new States sometimes furnish
strictly original ideas in political science
and social reforms, though some OF their
efforts in this direction are open to the
charge of crudeness. The latest sug-
gestion is that of the "municipals saloon"
which is to be tried in Sioux Falls, s. d.
The idea is for the city to take entire
charge of the liquor business. establish
ing limited number of saloons, ap-
pointing it's own bar-keepers and run
ming the business as monopoly. The
saloons would be under municipal super
vision in every respect, the idea appar-
emily being to recognize the sale of
liquor as necessary evil and to regu-
late what cannot be abolished. At first
blush it will strike most persons as scan
dalous that a city government should
engage in the liquor business, and
yet the moral responsibility under
this system would be but little if any
greater than that of the license system.
If 1t is right for the city to license sa-
looms, why not to run them, also? Ger
tainly, this plan would go far toward
solving the problem OF municipal con-

AN ESSENTIAL OF ORATORY,

In an article ON New England Boy
hood" in the Atlantic Monthly. Rev.
Edward Everett Hale gives all the credit
for whatever oratorical ability he pos
sesses to the public schools. In school
he was compelled to "speak pieces" and.
though he got no good marks for speak
ing at any time, the exercise did teach
him not to be afraid of his audience.
"And this, so far as / KNOW" says MIR.
Hale, sis all of elocution that can be
taught or need be tried for" This will
be regarded as heretical doctrine by the
people who believe that oratory is a
species of vocal gymnastics which can
be taught only in SCHOOLS of elocution,"
where the voice is trained into unnat-
ural tones and the body put through
a course of Delsartic genufexions.
Something may be gained in such
schools, perhaps, but more is likely to
be lost in the acquisition of stilted, az
fected style. What the public speaker
chiefly needs is freedom from timidity.
Without fear of his audience, and with
something to say, he will speak with the
same readiness as in private converse
ton, and in this ease of expression lies
the greatest charm of oratory to LISTEN
ers. Arts and graces the speaker may
have added. but they must be subservi-
ent to the thought, and without self
confidence are wasted. If the public
schools of this day are neglecting decla-
nation, as Mr.. Hale seems TO thin k. they
are making mistake, because there
are few American men who, at some
time or other In. their lives, would
not be glad of the ability to
address a crowd, and If they do
not gain this ability when in school they
are not apt to secure it later. Orat0ry
is no more likely to become a lost art
than conversation, though there be
cynical people who declare that the lat
ter is already unknown in its best sense;
but. considering its usefulness. it should
be given proper encouragement. The
oratorical contests in which Western
colleges engage each year show that in
tcrest in public speaking is not dying
out, but If boys of primary schools were
given q basis for the accomplishment
by being taught to address their class
mates without embarrassment college
students would find their paths easier.
After again declaring that he owes to
the public school and to this now de-
before an audience which he shares with

GROWTH uP THE eAs-BBLT TOWNS.

While all Indiana towns and the State
generally are enjoying season of I'M
usual prosperity, the rapid growth of
the cities and towns in the natural-gas
belt is most marked. 1t is wonderful.
Three years ago it was predicted that
collapse would overtake the boom which
started them in a year. Those who
made these predlctionsSwere not proph-
cts. The last year of the gas towns,
big and little, has been their most pros
porous. More important industries
have been planted in them than during
any preceding year, twice as many
houses have been built in the whole re-
gion as were built in any preceding
year, and, consequently, it is fair to as
sumo that many more people have come
to them. Several considerable towns
have sprung up where, three years
ago, corn was growing and the wheat
stood In shock. Large factory build
ings have risen as by magic, and long
rows of cottages have pushed back into
the corn and wheat-felds. This build
ing has not been done to sell real estate,
but to afford homes for the people COM
ing to those towns to work. No "to
let" cards are seen upon house walls.
The industries which come to the gas
belt towns are no longer experiments.

velopmentce ceased two yearsago. When
gas r. hts are given now it is upon the
assurance that those seeking them have
the capital to establish permanent fac
tories. Long established industries in
iron. wood and glass leave less favored
localities for the Indiana gas belt, and
the new tin-plate industry seeks it for
the location of its largest works. While
here and there a well may fail, it has
been demonstrated in many instances
that wells which were opened two or
three years ago have an increased.
rather than a diminished pressuFe, at
the present time. q.
With the supply of gas fairly assured,
no person Of ordinary prudence would
pretend to prescribe the limits of the
manufacturing towns in the gas belt.
But one thing can cheek their growth,
namely. the destruction of the protect
i've policy which upholds the vast manu-
featuring interests of the country, and
particularly those of the gas belt. The
competition which would come because
of the free access to our markets of the
products of labor paid from 35 to As per
cent. less wages would check the
growth and prosperity of this marvel of
industrial development. Cheap and
perfect fuel is great thing. but it can
not compete with cheap labor,

THE INDIANA MILITIA.

The annual encampment of the State
militia. which has just closed at Frank
fort, was we'll managed and yielded
good results in the way of military work
and discipline. Many persons have been
disposed to doubt whether the time and
money expended in these encampments
were wisely devoted, but the belief is
growing that the State ought to main
tain militia organization. Its services
may not be needed for many years. but
no one can tell when an emergency may
arise requiring them. and when they are
good thing for the State to have aasfew
thousand young men partially instructe d
in military duty and indoctrinated in
the idea of rendering service to
the State when called upon. There
ia no better moral training than
military discipline, and as tho
average young American citizen
gets little training ont of camp he is
not likely to be hurt by week of the
kind he gets in the militia. In truth,
the encampment is too short. To yield
the best results it should last about ten
days, the first three given to breaking
in and getting settled, and full week
to regular military duty. 1t is probable.
also, that the State will soon recognize
the propriety of buying tract of land
for a camp ground which can be i'm
proved from year to year. thus reducing
tho expense and increasing the comfort
and usefulness of the annual encamp-
ment. Several States have already done
this. Thanks to the efforts of a few in
tellIgent officers Indiana now has good
militia law and the skeleton of first
rate organization, and she should fol-
low this up with whatever is necessary
to keep the militia up to a respectable
standard.

most New Englanders. Mr.. Hale adds:
"This is to say that owe to it the great
pleasure of public speaking when there is
anything to say. think most public
men llagree with me that thisis one of
the most exquisite pleasures of life."
This last statement contains an idea
that to many people will be new. The
auditor enjoys listening to an eloquent
speaker, and refers with enthusiasm to
the pleasure he has had, but to how
many does it occur that the speaker may
also find enjoyment in the performance
Yet there is no reason why he should
not as we'll as a singer or an actor in their
respective roles, and. according to Mr..
Hale's frank acknowledgment. he does.
Being such an exquisite pleasure the
power to enjoy it should cultivated.
