Mr.. Cleveland, according TO relia-
bic authority, is apprehensive about
the result of the elections this fall
lie is especially anxious, it is said, to
be sustained in his own State. A de-
cisive Republican victory in this State
aud throughout the country in Nov
cmLer would seriously handicap Mr..
Cleveland in carrying out his policy
when he gets one. However, Mr..
Cleveland is not altogether Indifferent
to public opinion, and it would be
grent blow to his vanity to have the
people rcpudiate his Administration
at the polls.

nen.rA.,o Bank Depe.i.or.

Kansas City Times: Do the coun-
try banks expect to be assisted in
times of need by the great banking
institutions of Kansas City? If so let
them treat with equal fairness their
benefactors. Any man who would
draw out a dollar from the banks
that he is not required to use, con-
sidering the splendid showing of
these banks, attcstcd by their officers
and subject to vcrification at a mo-
menf's notice by the comptroller of
the currency, is committing a crime
against the whole Southwest. Such n
man should he carefully spotted, for
the day will come when he will need
the same confidence in himfclf that
he has rctused TO give 70 the iastitu-
tons entitled to the highest praise and
utmost confidence.

The Declinc OF reverence.

1t is often remarked, and with a
good deal OF truth, that reverence
cannot be called a characteristic OF
our people, nor, indeed, Of II time.
The tendency of the age is against it.
Parents do not exact it of their chill
dren, and the teaching which the
children get in the schools does not
foster the habit as in former genera
tions. Reverence implies putting
what we admire or respect at a still
greater distance from ourselves by q
lowering of attitude and ~pretension
on our own part. 1t is a submission
of mind and body, either total as to
something divine, or to a man in all
respects wiser, better, greater than
ourselves, or to some particular dis
tinguishing quality, as man reverences
the purity of woman, and woman the
power and intellect of man. The pre-
se4t age is not in accord with this
habit of submission. We, in these
| DAYS, are not inclined TO look up: we
look into and analyzc. We are chary
of homage, discriminating, prone to
reservations, ready TO sec blots and
blcmishes in the fairest seeming and
given to forming II individual con-
illusions, independent OF usage and
prescription
1t is easy to see that this spirit of
the age, from which few can wholly
free themselves, is opposed 10 'rerer-
ence. In some respects its influence
has been beneficial. Its iconoclastir
work has shattered many idols, or at
least moderated the u~nreascning faith
that was accorded them. But i'll other
WAYS its effect has not been salutary.
This is especially observable in the
Young. Ignorance anil inexperienced
are TOO often as confident in their Ut
terances as the observation of many
years. The youth sets himself up as
a critic where the res,l' is ridiculous.
Children have an independence of
manner toward their parents and
their seniors which would have made
our grandfathers stand aghast. As
they grow older they are too apt. al
so, to be lacking in reverence for
those things to which the consent of
mankind has accorded this mark OF
appreciation.

New Convert.

Editor Democrat:
Please allow me space to congratu'
late the editor of the Era on his
conversion to prohibition, temperance
and sobriety. However. Is Is not In
frequent with the new convert, he
has gone farther than l can endorse
him. It was doubtless astonishing
news to his Democratic friends that
their editor had become a prohibifion-
ist at all. What must have been their
establishment when he declared the
discourse of a party prohibition
lecturer not only the work of God,
but a fit substitute of the gospel of
the Son of God for a christian pulpit
on Sunday, and roundly berated all
the preachers of the town for their
9scuryy treatment" of the lecturer be-
cause they did not view matters as he
did. The fact is several of the En-
glish-speaking white preachers are
absent from town and | am Informed
that | was the only one who preached
here Sunday night. 1 had no
knowledge of Mrs. Hoffman's desire
to lecture here until a notice recalling
disappointment was handed Inc Sun
day morning. Permit ME further to
express my anxiety that vi brother
may not apostatIze from his stand for
temperance and prohibition and also
that he may keeI. his new found zeal
better under curb and rein.
Ioucs truly.

The Best in the Market.

II is u well known fact that some OF
the finest whisky in this market is the
celebrated goods from the wholesale
house of J. ". McCuIloch, Owensboro,
kentucky. The goods from this house
have not been extensively advertised
nor do they need advertising TO any
great extent They have the merits
that commend them to all judges OF
good liquors.
The following dealers in this city
sell the McColloch brands of whisky,
and those wanting the best of pure
liquors should call on them and call
too for Owcnsboro, Kentucky liquor;

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The blind people of New England, gifted
with talents for high attainment in music,
who have been pupils of the best masters,
desire to make use of those talents to lift
their less fortunate fellows upon to the
plane of higher life.
The car of progress In the cause of the
education of the blind, notwithstanding it
is freighted with the hopes, aspirations
and happiness of these people, has moro
than oore of years been at a stand-still.
| prejudiced, or rather, the preconceived
opinion of seeing people of the utter help
| lessness Of the blind. Here and there
the pioneers in land where the
sun never rises, have made explorations
and discoveries that have enabled them to
throw off the burden of dependence, and
with renewed hope and q new JOY In thell
hearts take their position in society as self
reliant, self-sustaining and useful citizens.
Having found the way, they desire to point
it out to those who have not, and hope by
| the establishment of misunderstanding
schools, wherein new avenues of employ
ment shall be taught, the respondent made
glad and ray of sunshine sent into the
hearts of those over whose lives has fallen
the shadow of unbroken night.
Dear friends, Wa know you are busy
people, but the Master had time to consid'
or the claims of the blind, and may we
MT hope that you will find time to attend
| meeting to be held in the parlors of the
| Calvary Baptist church Wednesday even

NEW YORK. Feb. 81.
The trading in stocks to-day was largely pro.
f.ssional and covering of shorts comprised the
bulk OF the buying. The selling largely for
account of local operators who bought at the
low prices Of yesterday. London sent some
buying orders for stocks, but these were not
executed and the pressure soon weakened the
entire weak stock and general decline took
place all along the line. There was a mild re-
currence Of excitement in Reading, but it lasted
only q few minutes.
New Eugiand closely followed Reading and it
was only a Iarter lower at the end. The other
coal stocks, however. were affected apparently
by the belief that the disruption of the Reading
system means lower prices for coal, though
this was denied By the president OF the Lacka
wanna road The bears made q drive at the
iadustriels, and Chicago Gas and the former
closed / per cent. lower. There was little dis.
position shown to do business In the general
list The temper of the general list was unusu
ally firm and many final advances were re-
corded. Northern Pacific and Manhattan each
rose one per cent. After the rally OF the after
noon was completed prices were held firm until
the Close which was fairly active at irregular
changes for the day.
Railroad bonds were more active, while tho
transactions in Reading Issues were materially
curtailed. READING firs;s declined four per
