{ In the Grammar room the A class
has taken final examination in gram
mar. Miss Woolstenholme reports a
good set of papers. The class takes up
physiology; their teacher believes in
giving them enough to do to keep them
busy.
Anyone who observes thepupils work
in school, cannot help noticing the part
that such periodicals as Harper's Young
People. St Nicholas and that best of all
boys we..klies. The Youths Companion,
play in the education of our young peo-
Pile There are few recitations in read

Mr.. Wilson of West Virginia

There will be very general sympathy
throughout the country with Mr.. VIII
son of West Virginia, who is seriously
sick in Mexico. The latest reports from
the bedside of the statesman were that
he was improving, although on Sunday
be was thought to be in dangerous
condition he is suffering with typhoid
fever which attacked him while his
system was in low and enfeebled state
due to the excessive labors and nervous
strain to which he was subjected during
the preparation of the tariff bill which
bears his name. and the bad air of the
secret chamber in the basement of the
Capitol where the bill was prepared.
Mr.. Wilson is an able and popular
man. He has served several terms in
the house, and is recognized as one of
the best debaters on the democratic
side of the chamber. He is q student
and q bookish man rather than one of
practical knowledge of business sffa'rs.
His life has been spent in the practice
of the law and as a professor in coll
leges, and for some years prior to his
entering congress he was president of
the West Virginia university. His
laoors and his extended addresses in
the house have given evidences of his
close familiarity with the economic
writings of the standard English au-
thorities rather than a knowledge of the
practical affairs in the great industrial
life of the country.

Dairy Interests Affected.

The Green County journal says the
cheese interest of that county. which is
very large. is sorely depressed, with no
prospect of Improvement. Very logic
ally ii is shown that the situation is en-
immediate result Of depression in other
industrial enterprises. The principal
markets for cheese and butter are the
great centsrs of population, large cities
and manufacturing districts. When
the people of these centers are out of
work, or their earnings are reduced.
their ability to buy butter and cheese is
lessoned and demand for those things
falls of, and prices must come down
proportioned TO the earnings of the
consumers. For the incoming season
the Journal estimates that the price per
hundred for milk at the cheese fac
tories will be 10 to Is per cent less
than last year, which means to the
dairymen of Green county loss of two
or three hundred thousand dallars.
There is reason to fear that butter
dairying will be affected by the same
causes, in corresponding degree. which
more directly concerns the farmers of
Iowa county. What their loss will be
il creameries have to drop 10 to Is per
cent. on the price of milk. and dairy
butter has to be sold on like basis. we
have no means of estimating. but that
it will aggregate many thousands of
dollars is foregone. And yet demo-
cratic papers will insist that tariff pro
lection of manufacturing Industries is
of no advantage, indeed a positive
injustice TO the farmer.

SOME of our democratic exchanges
are trying to guy the republican pros.
poets for 1896. Now is your only time
to do any laughing boys. you must get
all the fun you can out Of the situation
before the next elections come round.
You will have to take your dose then
and you may just wager all you can
that there won't be anything either
sweet or homeopathic about it. Your
fallscious theories and your party are
going to step downward and out in

You are only to keep your courage up.

A SHORT time ago that prince among

that good times such as the country

again be upon us as he beredeent res
ilts of the Wilson tariff. When the
ablest democratic paper in the west, il
not in the world, tries 10 show that the
decade of good times from '46 is again
upon us, because that was low tariff
period and when the Wilson bill is
passed we shall again have like low
tariff and prosperous period. it has
assumed m impossible task. The con
ditions now are no more like the condi-
tons from 40 to Sc than the demo-
cratic party is like George Washington
for truthfulness. From 1916 to 1S4S,
there was the business activity caused
by the Mexican war. Thousands of
men left their homes ID enter the army.
This left employment at home for every
body. The soldiers had to be provided
with arms, ammunition, food. transpor.
tation. clothing. medicines, &c, and
the provision of these things meant the
establishment of industry everywhere.
Asa natural consequence everybody
was busy, and times were brisk, as
they always are in time war. The
last rifle shot had hare " been fired
before gold was discovered in California
and mad rush for the mines immedi-
ately took place. This again took
thousands from their homes and left
abundant employment for those who

SOME of our democratic friends are
worrying over Gov. Mckinley and his
political prospects. No use of worry
ing. He doesn't belong to the demo-
cratic party. and the party is in no way
responsible for him, his acts, or bis late
majority in Ohio. Mckinley under
stands politics and the demands Of the
United States. and Furthermore be is
big enough mentally and politically, to
competently fill any position in the gift

HIS. until lately. been supposed to be
reasonably orthodox in his teachings
and b belief, but now he is accused
of degree Of broadness in his views
that smacks very decidedly Of skepti-
cism. Furthermore he doesn't like to
be so reported. and he gets hot under
the collar Just as other folks do when
some things they have done or said,
but are ashamed Of, are told about
them. He says of the reports in the
Chicago newspapers that criticism
based upon them is unfair and unjust,
because such reports are made by men
without any adequate knowledge of the
subject they are treating. " Now for a
man ia Dr. Harper's position, this
statement, if true. should be very
humiliating indeed. He must certainly
know that there are many scholarly
men engaged rs newspaper reporters
as well MS 10 other lines Of newspaper
work, and that If he lectures or SER
monies in English be must do so to an
audience that understands English.
and furthermore that il should be his
purpose to make what he has 10 say,
clear to his audience. II is the crown
ing glory of learned man to be so
simple that common folk may under
stand. and he may rest assured that
they, as we'll as newspaper men, do
understand. II does not take any
great amount OF eruditlon to tell the
difference between true orthodoxy and
skepticism. DR.. Harper has a perfect
right to be skeptic and to preach
skepticism IL he wants TO do so as an
individual, but as the head of a great
theological and scientific school, in
fact as the creative spirit of the theo-
logical department, he has no right to
retain his position and at the same time
deny his mission. He may be most
learned man, he may be man of large
executive ability. but he cannot occupy
a questionable position in religious
matters before any people and at the
same time hold the high regard which
has heretofore been willingly accorded
to him. tie is not big enough for that.
