The Sunday School Convention

The State Sunday School Conven.
| ton will hold its sixth annual conven.
ton in the M. r. Church. of this town
tomorrow and next day-9th and 10th
insts. 1t promises to be a big affair.
equalling if not excelling in numbers.
the annual conference, the list of del
egates exceeding 200 persons signifying
their intention of being present. Such
an addition to our population of peo.
pie whose object is to receive instruc.
tiOn and get inspiration for renewed
energy in a good cause, calls for open
doors and large hospitality. These
conventions cannot but be attended by
good results to those who go with re.
ceptive minds and eager hearts.
The work of correspondence and
and preparation of the local executive
officers OF the Association, is supple
mented by another sacrificing duty on
the part of the ladies in finding and
assigning homes, which, in this case, is
properly divided between committees
representing the three churches, Meth
odist, Episcopal and Presbyterian. 1t
must be said to the credit Of the ladies'
OF ST. Peters that they are tho first of
"HJ oOSiOly VI bu6 denomination TO
thus fraternize in a union convention.
The influx of visitors, to"ptner with
those of the town and vicinity who

The Inaugural address of President
Cleveland delivered at Washington on
taking the oath of office a second time,
is a state paper of more than usual sig
nifcance. Ifhe can shape his admin
istration up to and on the high lines
marked out in this paper, he will be a
Moses to lead many men, if they will
follow, to higher political planes than
they had ever dreamed of 1t is patri-
otic, it is American, it is pregnant with
the spirit of WashingtOn's and Lin
coins addresses in which they inculca-
ted higher aim and more exalted cit-
Zenship than belongs to the average
politician. 1t is SO far above the usual
party conception of politics in COVER
mental sense that it is doubtful whether
he can have his ideas carried out. To
bring the people up to such cOncep-
tions of citizenship as he sets forth,
with influences both alien and sOrdid
to overcome, will task the highest
craftsmanship. There is nothing that
smacks of any resort to party advan-
tage, but questions of national interest
are approached in an honest and can
did manner, with no effort to catch APP
plause, the burden of his plea being
that the integrity of the government
must depend on the integrity of the
citizen

SENATOR HIGGINS delivered speech
in Detroit, Michigan, week or so ago,
that has attracted more than usual
notice from the newspapers. The New
York Sun copies the speech entire, and
in an editorial under the head of the
"Party of Patriotism" says:
The speech delivered at Detroit by
Senator Anthony Higgins of Delaware,
is a manly and eloquent presentation
of the greatest question of the day. 1t
is Democratic doctrine that this Re-
publican Senator enunciates, when he
sets forth the principles of national
growth, but it is more than that it is
Republican doctrine; it is American
doctrine.
Read in connection with such equally
manly and patriotic declarations
of Senator Morgan, a Democrat, it
seems as if the next division of politi-
cal parties would be on lines like
these On the one side the party of
vigorous, aggressive, progressive Amer
icanism; on the other the party of OBJ
struction, of foreign sympathies and
alien ideas. A campaign of education
in this respect is now going on. The
distinction is becoming more and more
sharply indicated between those who
are ashamed or unwilling to be Amer
leans and those who are not unwilling
or ashamed.

THERE is something particularly sad
IN the death of Alfred Z. Robinson al
the end of q month, just as he had
reached the goal of his ambition. Per.
haps no one ever attained this high
place on the bench with greater unan-
unity by the members OF the bar
They had been pleased in his short
term with the ease he arranged the
business from the tangled condition it
had gotten into by the sickness and
absence of his predecessor. and above
all with the legal ability shown, and
the clearness in his charges. The last
thing that day, before leaving the
court for his home (for he left early in
the afternoon for Georgetown, never
before having been separated from his
wife and two children so long, was to
pronounce eulogy upon Mr.. Com
eggs, when he said
Gentlemen, excuse me if say that |
fully appreciate how hard task it will
be to fill the place left vacant by the
late Chief Justice, and to approach at
a distance the full dimensions of his
judicial stature. But it is stimulating
to follow such a predecessor, and to
have such an example to initiate and
can only assure you that l will try to
follow as closely as can in the path
that he has laid down for me.
Having said this, before the dawn of
another morning he also had passed to
that undiscovered country, from
whose bOurn no traveller returns"
Not only his family, but Georgetown
and the whole bar was in mourning,
and in their county associations TO pass
resolutions of respect, they universally
referred to his fitness and speak of his
death as a calamity. To appoint his
successor again falls to the lot of Gov
ernOr Reynolds, who has had more
Offices to fill than any other Governor
who ever filled the chair. In the
choice of the deceased public opinion
had almost entirely centered ON Mr..
Robinson; thus far there has been no
such unerring guide to aid the Cover
nor IN selecting his SUCCESSOR

THE Milford papers note four bur-
glaries in that town last week and one
each in Lincoln and Glendale. The
Chronicle says: "The false sympathy
for criminals which induces people to
go bail, is probably working an in iurv
to the stOrekeepers Of Milford, by max
ing thieves bold. A question asked bv
all is, where is the night watchman
who is paid to guard the stores be-
tween midnight and day?' Some are
so ungenerous as to say that the
Watchman is sitting in the lookup,
reading novels by warm stove, but
we suggest that he cannot be eyery-
where at once"
The people of Smyrna and the near
towns of which it is the commercial
centre. have a greater interest in the
Conference this year than usual. This
grows out of the fact that there is to be
an entire new supply for all the pull
pits, numbering seven charges, viz
Smyrna, Smyrna Circuit, Apouuini-
mink Circuit, Leipsic, Cheswold, Clay
ton and KentOn. Less than 10 wears
ago these seven charges were COM
prIsed in four, with four ministers do
ing the work. Cheswold and Clayton
are new appointments, and in the
others the ministers change from choice
or other circumstances. At the time
above hamed, when four itinerants
were in charge of the work, the church
OF Smyrna had four local preachers to
AID the pastor whenever their services
were needed. Now there is not one
that he can call in the pulpit.
IN both bad day and inappropriate
evening - Saturday - the McGibeny
family hadn't large audience Mt the
Opera House, but those there speak of
the entertainment RS first class in every
particular. 1t was thoroughly refined,
and each member in his or her line ex-
celled in musical execution. They
find a great difference in the apprecia-
tion of audiences in what is really fine
in musical way. They were at Lau-
rel night or two before reaching here
and the viOlinist in solo of exquisite
touches, was 80 annoyed by the magpie
chattering of the most of his audience
among themselves, with ears SEEM
ingly uneducated to fine strains of
music, that he quit iR the middle of
the piece and left the stage. He no
ticed the fact that here his best music
was appreciated apd epcored

A gentleman in the vicinity of

Sunday morning for ten-mile drive.
When about half mile from the lad :

snow bank, breaking the carriage SO
they could not go any farther. The
ladies had to wade in snow about three
feet deep, for nearly a quarter Of q
mile to get in field to reach home.
Here they made a solemn vow to stav

against 1913 last year and so the year

some vigorous political work-that
kind that leads men to the polls with
tow strings.
There was no direct municipal issue
to divide upon, and if a consideration
at all, as it may may have been to
some extent on she question of heavily
bonding the town for contemplated
improvements, it was manifest simply
as an undertow in the general current.
