 The Second Session of the North Holland s.
 5. Union
 Was held in the Universalist church at Stafford Hollow on Tuesday afternoon and evening. The attendance was quite re- spectable in point of numbers, there being representatives from seven or eight Sun day schools, and the pastors of five churches. The interest of those present was keen, the character of the papers pre- sented was high, and the entire spirit of the meetings was that of an earnest and sympathetic christian family. The chris tian fellowship manifested was broad and close The meeting opened almost exact ly on the moment with an earnest devo- tional service. With few words by the pastor the friends were warmly welcomed to the hospitalities of the church, to the joys of fellowship, and to the delights of earnest work in the cause of the Sunday school. This was responded to by the vice president, w. E. Demond, who hoped that the church might find themselves in the situation of Abraham and Sara, who | that the members of the church would re- ceive a richer blessing than they gave. The paper on Order in the Sunday School, by Rev. C. l.. Aver, was thoughtful and suggestive, and was largely discussed by l the meeting. The result reached was that | there must be all the order and discipline possible The mutually related topics o1 | the help of the Sunday school to the church and to the home were presented by Rev. c. H. Brown, Mrs. c. s. Orcutt and J. F. Zimmerman, and were earnest ly discussed by the meeting. The gem o1 the whole meeting was the earnest and tender address of Mrs. Orcutt. Each ought to help all, and all should help each was the result of this discussion. The Chalk Talk on Temperance, by c. P. Hodgson, was most welcome change iI the order, and was very interesting part of the program.

Springfield Union: Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has come out for political fight against Tammany Hall. He wants honest demo- crats and republicans to forget party lines and go in for the best candidates for city office, regardless of party. If there are three candidates in the field, Tammany, anti -Tammany and republican," he says, "Tammany will win" He declares that the City Vigilance league will question all candidates as to their antecedants. The league proposes to find out what sa- loon or dive they hail from, ''and we will give them cross-examination," says Dr. Parkhurst, "beside which the thirty. nine articles of the Episcopal church will have no show; no, nor the longer Westminster catechism." Dr. Parkhurst went into the war almost single-handed, and his meth- ods at first were sharply criticised, but the decent people of New York are con- ing to his side. They sense his motive and applaud it, and if they will follow his lead and pull together we believe they will gain victory for honest government. Tammany already totters. The legisla- ture at Albany has been striking it some hard blows. It remains for the votes of honest citizens to give it the finishing stroke.

The Dallas Times-Herald scent
war in the breeze. Commenting
on the late visit of Chairman Baker
to Dallas and the call of Matlock, il
says:
Whatever the secret intentions
and desires of the Clark and Hoge
factions may be in regard to the flu
ture, it is certain that the leaders OF
the respective wings are holding
numerous seances. The present
term of the federal court has brought
the lawyers together in Dallas, and
afforded an opportunity for them to
confer on the political situation
without exciting much attention or
suspicion.
Waller S. Baker, chairman of
the Hogg committee, who is here
attending court, has, within the
last ten days, conferred with the
ablest men in his faction from all
sections of the state. The leaders
drop into Dallas one or two at q
tina, see Mr.. Baker, and are gone.
Last night Chairman Baker had a
long talk with Berry Camp, of Fort
Worth, who ia candidate for the
nomination fo- lieutenant COVER.

1t is not seriously believed by

harmony will come of all this. In
fact, the present excitement has
more the appearance Of preparations
for war than anything else. AS

ment.
The Times Herald should be ex
act in its language When it says:
"Baker conferred with the ablest
men in his faction from all sections
of the state" it certainly did not
intend to convey the idea that
Baker, who is the chairman of the
regular organized Democratic party
in Texas, and is SO recogniz I'd by
that able journal, was merely the
of faction instead
of great party.

The Bolton Reporter is an adj
mirer of Senator Coke, expressing
the following in regard to him:
If there is public officer who is
in closer touch with the Democracy
of Texas than Senator Richard
Coke, we have no knowledge of the
fact.
There is one admirable trait about
Coke, there is nc difficulty in learn
ing his position on any public ques
ton and his entire public life has
been made up of consistencies. He
is staunch advocate Of strict party
organiz alton and fights down every
effort towards disruption. Cam
eron Herald.
Senator Coke's devotion to prin.
clples and his unwayering fealty to
party orgaulz alton comes out of the
fact that he is and has been all MS
life an unchanging Democrat, and
as statesman he knows principles
are helpless without thorough Y
organized party behind them.
