THE SYRACUSE POsTMASTERsHIP.
Editor Northrop is Again Given the Onics
by President Cleveland.

The Office Of postmaster at Syracuse, NY,
has long been considered an editorial per-
quisite, to be given to the editor of the ad-
ministration newspaper. President Cleve-
land !. appointed Milton H. Northrup.
editor of the Courier, as postmaster:
but he had held his position only fifteen
months when the wheel of politics turned and
he was ousted, the place going to the editor of
the esteemed contemporary" the Journal,
Mr.. Carroll E. Smith.
The wheel turned again, however, and Presi-
dent Cleveland III late yesterday afternoon re-
moved the esteemed contemporary and Mr..
Northrup got the assignment again. He hopes
that his present ''sit" will continue longer than
the first one. With professional facility he
will probably edit the list of Office employees
with blue pencil and cut out what he con-
siders extraneous matter.
The President also appointed the following
postmasters:
Henry Roehrig at Wyandotte, Mich, vice
". H. Dennan. resigned.
VIM. G. Goldsmith at Andoyer. Mass. vice
Abraham Marland. resigned.

He stated that the results shown by the report
justifes the establishment Of this board Dur
ing the past ten years 29, 7O3 students have been
aided. The receipts of the board for the past
year were $4,000. An important work has
been performed and the promises for the future
are encouraging. The report spoke Of the init
mate connection that has always been MAIN
tanned between education and the church. The
hope OF the world lies, the report stated, in a
close alliance between the church and educa-
ton. The Presbyterian Church should nurture
Presbyterian institutions. The report noted
with pleasure the large number of institutions
aided which gave biblical instruction, and it
was recommended that special attention should
be given to such institutions as made
the Bible one Of the text books The

DIsBANDING FARNHAM POST.

A Difference of Opinion in q. A. r, CIrclea
Regarding Col. weissert's Action.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 24-Grand Armv
men are becoming very deeply interested in the
Farnham Post incident, and members Of tho
order do not hesitate to say that if Comm.nSsr.
in-Chief Weissert's action is continued it wils
result in a split in the order.
The Farnhsm Post Of New York passed reso.
lutions favoring such pension reform would
make the list OF pensioners a roll OF honor"
and that the reproach may be taken away from
the Grand Army that il is a charity-seeking Or
ganization and a tool in the hands Of the claim
agents.
For this action the charter Of the post was
taken away by Department Commander Cleary.
, This act confirmed by Commander-in-
Chief Weissert in an order dated Nav 16 and
for obvious reasons not given to the public
until recently.
In the action of Col weissert Adjt Gen.
Gray said yesterday in regard TO the incident
over. Farrham Post, Col. Gray said, Of
very little importance and could not influence
ANYBODY. The post was never in sympathy
with the ORDER on the pension question or any
thing else, and the disbanding OF it will do no
harm.
Other Grand Army men of equal weight in
the order differ decidedly with Col. Gray as to
the effect of the drastic measures taken with
the New York post in order to frighten any
other posts opposing the raids on the treasury.
Col J. A. Watrous said OF the revocation Of
Farnham Posts charter that il was based on .
fiimsy technically and that so far from stop
ping snybodys mouth would tend to intensity
the feeling in favor Of pension reform

Rev. Alexander Alison, D. D., pastor of
First Presbyterian church at Third and
Madison streets. gave the first of his series
OF talks to young men at his church last
night. His text was in Timothy iv:l5-
Mediate on These Things"
The house was crowded. DR.. Alison
praised the tendency of the young men
who started out in life without thought
of possible failure. He thought many
were destined not to succeed. He advised:
Ann high;'' 'don't be afraid of
being called conceited. Have plenty of
pluck" The doctor said he never thought
it much of a compliment to speak of man
In his coffin as never having had an
enemy no man amounts to much who
never had one. The speaker reminded
his hearers that youth was the period of
greatest activity, enthusiasm and effort.
He cited the instance of Napoleon, Alex
ander the Great, Sir Isaac Newton, John
Calvin and others to prove that if the
work of youth were taken from the world
much would be lost to it. Said he:
The great danger OF youth is thoughtlessness.
You must mediate. but give in your medita-
tons the chief place to religion If you would
have true success.

A LAYMAN'S SERMON.
Internal Evidences of the Souls
Immortality.
MAN SHALL SURELY LIVE AGAIN.
The Harp May Be Forever Silenced
stinct and Intelligence.

Ever since the poetic Job uttered the
profound question, IF a man die shall he
live again ?" the inquiry has been ringing
down the pathway of time with increasing
interest. Mans immortality is usually
proven by the declarations of the Bible.
which are supposed TO reveal it as an ul:i-
mate truth. The immortality of the soul
is susceptible not of demonstration, but of
reasonable proof by reason itself, and it is
the object of this paper briefly to present
the reasons. which, in the judgment of the
writer. establish such immortality. If We
concede the existence OF God with the at
tributes usually attributed to such being,
and which He must necessarily possess
in order to be God. such as inf
mite wisdom. goooAness and AL
mighty power, and if We concede the
further fact that He is the Creator
OF man, mans Immortality results as
logical sequence from such concessions.
The desire for immortality, if not uni
versal among all conditions Of men, at
least approaches universally. This uni
versal desire may be called an innate prop
erty or attribute of mans moral constitu-
ton implanted in man by his Creator. 1t
can not be true that being with the attri-
butes which We ascribe to God could Gre
ate man with such desire to tantilize him
