We expect to have the Rev. Henry c.
Cronin, of Kansas City, Mo-, to repre-
sent the Congregational Sunday school
and Publishing society. At Saiina NE.
Cron1n gave an address full of fiery
eloquence, force, and apt illustrations.
1t was one of the best addresses we
had.

In addition to Rev. Charles c. Cree
gan, of Boston, the A. B. c. F. NJ. will
be represented by ]. L. Barlow, of
Turkey or Rev. H. P. Perkins, of China.
Rev. A. n. Hitchcock. of Chicago, says
they are both excellent speakers. Truly
the lines have fallen unto US In pleasant
places.

One of the happiest statements We
can make is that Rev. Dr. Beaton, Lin.
coin Park Congregational church, Chi.
cago, is to be with US. To say that DR..
Beaton's presence will be a treat, ar
inspiration and a great attraction, is :
conservative estimate. We can assure
him of genuine welcome to our his.
toric state.

Rev. Linus Blakesley, D. D. for more

Eloquence of diction, beauty of ex-
preston, coupled with pathos and force,
these are some of the features of DR..
Beaton's popular lecture. 1t is to be
at the close of the Association. "Scot-
land IN Story and in Song" is the sub
ject.

THE bill for the unconditional re-.
peal of the silver-purchasec clause of the
Sherman law passed the Senate at half
past z O'Clock Monday evening by a
vote of 43 ayes to 80 noes. For three
months the bill had occupied the atten-
tion of the Senate to the exclusion of
almost all other business. 1t had been
debated as perhaps no single bill ever
before the American Senate has been
discussed.
The Presidents signature is expected
to be placed to the bill to-day. But
the skies are not altogether clear vet.
The action of the Senate was DELAYED
so long that much valuable business
mas been lost, and depression pro-
duced that it will take time, patience
and energy to lift.
1t is question how long it will take
for business to recover its former
momentum. Tariff revision, however.
still confronts US with all It's uncertain
ties. Tens of thousands of persons are
out of work. The winter is bound to
be hard" one to many. Silver re-
peal cuts us free from the folly and
wrong of the past and starts the CONN.,
try in the right direction, but the pro-
cess of recovery is likely to be slow and
conValescence is apt to be painful

THERE has been nothing since NOS
sibly the assinnation of President Gar.
held that has so stirred the public mind
as the shooting of Carter Harrison
mayor of Chicago, by a crank on Sat
urday night. Three bullets entered
his body, and within twenty minutes
after the first shot was fred death en-
sued. The man who did the sbootino
escaped from the house and surren.
dered himself at the Desplaines street
police station, giving his name as Eu
gene Patrick Prendergast.
While Mayor Harrison was not in
every way admirable, as no man ia
there was much that was excellent
both In his administration at Chicago
and his personal character. He nos.
sessed remarkable executive ability. a
vigorous intellect and the peculiar
snap and dash that characterize West
ern methods. He was in many respects
like Chicago itself, energetic, pushing
aggressive, full of life, courage, and de.
termination.
The people of Chicago have awak.
ened to realizing sense of the share Of
responsibility which Governor AItpeld
must assume for the murder of Carter
ID. Harrison. A despatch from that
city on Sunday to the New York Times |
said:
Perhaps the most noticeable featuya
OF tne whole day was the almost uni. |
Versal denunciation of Governor All.

Inns criticism of the governor was
made more emphatic because it wastbe

not left to the ministers alone 10 de-
hounee Governor Altgeld. Men every

winch the city was passing because IF

1T Is seldom that a man when he
dies has that mark of respect shown
his memory simply for his virtues. as
was manifested at the funeral of James
Kirk in Dover on Monday afternoon
He was simply a mechanical printer
IN charge of a local Office, and for some
years the publisher of the DeIa,Carean
but such was his integrity of char.
aeter, his unblemished reputation. his
probity in business and that quality of
exalted virtue that dignifed home and
gave strength to profession, that his
funeral was attended by persons from
Dover and elsewhere in sufficient num-
bers to fill the Episcopal church.

who had known or served with him in

Loss of VaInahla I.nnre-

Some of our farmers in this vicinity
seem to be having great deal OF
trouble with their pocket books
Whether the cause be in the weight OF
its contents bursting open the lining OF
their pocket we do not know, but the
fact seems very evident that our farm
ers have replenished exchequer from
the result OF their crops, as will be
shown in two interesting cases.
On Thursday last John W. Houston,
of the ALLEY" came to town, went to
che National Bank, drew 5000 and
went direct to a store to pay a small
bill. Coming out he jumped in his
carriage and proceeded to Ed. w. Nc
Dowells furniture store to pay another
bill. He reached his hand in his inside
coat pocket and found the purse with
Its contents missing. He Immediately
went in search, inquiring and looking
into every place imaginable, but it
was of no avail. He then offered a
reward of $25 to the one who shOuld
ind 1t, but even this did not bring the
much desired purse. So SATURDAY.
when he came to town he decided to
make one more close search at r w
McDowelFs store, and, as luck wouid
have it, he found his missing purse
under bureau, with contents lust as
ne said.--$191. 1t is supposed to have
dropped GUS of his pocket when he
entered the store, and bounded under
the bureau. He went out of town that
saturday gratitied and hapDv man
though he had lost no sleep over what |
seemed certain loss.
Another similar incident and one
winch IS still in the dark, happened to |
Henry Slaughter, of the "Neck.n Fri.
uay week. When he left home If was
win his purse containing $40 in his
Pocket' and went to Leipsic to mail a
letter, leaving there directly for
smyrna. When he got here he fonnd
MS purse missing. Much pernlexed
ne Immediately began search but mn TO
! late ne has not found his lost prize
L IS hoped that he will soon gain some
Information about his coveted loss.

Inc Democratic party is in power here.
All the judiciary belong to that party.
Inc Distrlct-Attorney and his assist
ants are Democrats. On officials rests
Ihe execution of the laws. Among the
laws whose execution rest on them are
the Election laws. Those laws provide
for truthful registration, a truthful
vote, and a truthful count. The viola
tlon of those laws or the omission to
enforce them is the highest kind of
moral treason and should be regarded
as the highest form of legal treason.
