MR.. MAxwELL's ACCEPTANCE.
He VIII Begin His Passionate February
~ or March 4.


At the Universalist church last Sunday
Mr. Maxwell, the pastor-elect after reading
his formal notification to the trustees of his
acceptance of the society's call said: "As
the closing sentence of this official commu-
ncation intimates, | have concluded to ac-
cept the invitation to become pastor of this
church and have transmitted my decision
to the trustees. But know that you will
pardon slight interruption in the morn
ing service i'm order that | may take this
opportunity, not only to repeat in public
manner my acceptance, but also to extend
to you my heartest thanks for the honor
you have done me; for indeed | believe it
an honor for any man, and especially for
younger man to be called to such a posi-
ton of duty and responsibility.
81 feel that / appreciate to some extent
the obligations which are connected with
this pastorate, and l shall ever cndeavor to
bring to all departments of the work the
best powers that | possess, and to so direct
the faculties of mind and soul that this
church shall stand for all that is most
truthful and most inspiring in the life of
today. 1t shall be an ever present object
with me to reflect from this pulpit not only
the best thought of my own mind, but also,
as far as am able, those deeper revelations
which have come to those noble characters
who through years of the richest Christian
experience have lived near to God and the
life of God
"But this is not the time for an elabora-
tion of our future plans. Those will be
unfolded as the weeks go by, and l sincerely
trust and pray that with the favor of the
Great Spirit above, and an active, enthu-
siastic cooperation on the part of one and
all, this church may become a still greater
power for truth and righteousness, not only
in individual lives but in the life of the
community

Y. M. G. A. NOTES.

Rev. Robert A. Hume gave an interest
ing talk last Sunday at the T. NJ q. A.
room on the work of secretaries in India.
AS a result of his address nearly enough
money was pledged by the local association
members to support a secretary in India
for year.
There was a large attendance at the meet
ing of the woman's auxiliary in the Y. Nj.
C. A. parlor on Tuesday. After the opening
exercises Mrs. Parry read carefully pre-
pared paper on Egyptian dynasties." A
second reading of earlier papers was de-
sired by some of the ladies; accordingly
an extra meeting will be held at Mrs. Geo
f. Gales on Green street, Thursday, Feb.
%, at o'clock. Papers will then be read
by Mrs. l.. X. Fuller, Mrs. Frank Wells
and Miss Helen Chandler.

Rev. L. NJ. mardy,s FaIIure.

Rev. L. NJ. Hardy, of Bishop Hopkins
hall, who recently became financially en-
barrassed made an arrangement Tuesday
whereby his creditors will receive 30 cents
on the dollar says the Burlington Clipper.
Mr.. Hardy's liabilities amounted to $4,000
and his assets to about SSOOO The trus-
tees of the institution held a mortgage for
$4,000 on chattels, etc 1t is understood
that relatives of Mr.. Hardy, who held
claims against his estate waived their rights
in favor of the other creditors. 1t has puz-
zled many to account for the embarrass-
ment of Bishop Hopkins hall, as it has al
ways enjoyed liberal patronage.

MOUNT HERMON.
Important Changes in the Program fOI
School study.

The present term, beginning in Febru-
airy, witnesses a radical change in the
school program, as the experiment of hay
ing two sessions a day instead of one as
formerly, is now being tried. AS more
work is done by the graduating student
than at any other preparatory school in
the country, and as the needs of the stu
dents and consequent demands upon the
school schedule are unusually varied in
character, the greatest economy of time
is necessary, and it is believed that the
new plan will very materially aid the stu
dent in his endeavors to use all of his
time to the best advantage. \ long-felt
need is supplied in the introduction of a
Latin scientific course which takes the place
of the biblical, and is a very welcome
addition.
Should the new plan prove to be a
success there will be introduced next fall a
general course which will offer a choice
from a very wide range of electives, en-
abling a student to select from all the
courses those studies which will fit his
special needs, and still receive a diploma
at the end of his study. This will be by
far the most practical course for the stu
dent for whom college is impossible, and
will be a very popular one. One of the
most important reasons for the adoption
of the new scheme is that it renders
possible the bringing of Bible study into
a more prominent place than it has oc
cupied of late, it having been crowded from
its proper place by the pressure of Other
work. This will be a strong argument IL
favor of the permanent retention of the
program recently adopted, as Mr.. Moody
is anxious that the Bible shall be the lead
ing text book in Mt. Hermon.

THE SYNDICATE STALLION BUsI-
NESS.
Sensible Words in Regard to the I'm
pedigreed Rabble.

From Turf, Field and FARM
Agents have been calling upon some of
the farmers of Maine soliciting them to
organize companies to purchase stations.
This gives the Maine Farmer an opportun-
ity to address a few sensible words
to its readers "To assume that
stallion picked up hit-or-miss, in any sale
stable, is what the farmers want in these
times is the widest fallacy possible. II
ever there was a call for wise discrimina-
ton in quality it is today. The certainty
of good breeding and individual worth
must be insisted upon. 1t is not the say
so of the present owner, not the glittering
generaltes of the yearly catalogue, but
the facts which are wanted. Is he out of
a family known to possess merit?' When
a horse is registered we are able to look
behind and to ell something about him.
We walk in the blackness of night, not in
the sunlight of day, when we base calcula-
tions upon an unknown force. Then we
can only guess at results. The Farmer
concludes: The state of Maine is well
supplied with worthy individuals able to
reproduce their inherent good qualities,
If additions are made they should be
above the standard of what we now have.
There is no room for anything below, and
only loss for those that purchase such.
Such as are wanted here are not being
carted over the country, or bought for
song out of sale stables" The advice
here rendered can be safely followed by
the farmers of every state in the Union.
Stations of real merit are not found in the
unpedigreed rabble of the sales stable.

ferring of the first and second degree.
San through New England can be
seen the splendid good work of the
Grange says Ex-Governor Hoard, in
in writing home to his paper. unlike
its experience in the West, the order has
been kept out of partizan politics here,
and consequently it has lived to strength

work is shown very greatly in the ease and
readiness of the farmers in debate in theiI

OUR COMMERCIAL MARINE.

Hon. William l.. Wilson, who is now en-
gagged in one OF the NEST formidable cam
pagns that was ever known in West Vir'
ginia, calls the attention Of the country TO
the ruinous effect of Republican "protec'
ton" upon our commercial marine. He
says:
"Thirty years ago we began 10 shut our.
selves in from all the markets Of the world,
called the American merchant marine from
of the seas and surrendered the abundance
of the ocean 10 England and other nations"
Our marine service is literally swept from
the seas. Under the Democratic low tariff
Of 1916 to 1861 the tonnage of our shipping
increased from 1,124,000 to the enormous
total of 2,496,849. But under Republican
protective tariff from 1861 to 1893 it fell
away to only 1884,
We have every element necessary for the
construction of ships-eur coast is indented
with the finest harbors in the world-thous-
ands of skilled workmen are out of employ
ment. We made the best, largest and fast
est ships in the world-yet all this has van
ished under the tariff laws of the Repub
licans.
If our people desire revival of Amer
lean commerce, and TO have our surplus OF
manufacturing implements and agricultural
products borne upon American bottoms and
under the American flag 10 the markets Of
the world, If they would have return Of
the pslmy, golden era when our shipping
nlowed the hilIowa of every sea thew must
look and work for restoration Of that tariff
policy 10 which Mr.. Wilson is now giving
the best efforts of his life.
1t will be proud day In the progress OF
this country when the American sailor can
again unreef his canvas midst the music of
the waves and start for the harbors Of the
world, bearing not only the productions of
our soil and workshops, but the spirit of our
inRtitutiOna

WITH THE SUGAR PLANTERS

Mckinley is the very man TO visit Louis
lana and address the sugar planters of that
State on the tariff. He was the author Of
the bill that paid bounty to sugar planters,
and OF some $12,O0O,0O0 paid out last year
for sugar bounties, some ten millions were
paid to the Louisiana planters.
The Louisiana sugar planters who re-
ceived bounty from the government last
year are not five hundred in number, and
the average amount paid to each under the
Mckinley bill was within a fraction of $20,.
900 per year. OF course any five hundred
people out of the entire population of the
State who receive gratuity of sec, 900 each
from the public treasury would enthusiasts
tcally welcome the man who is the author
of the legislation that had given them such
liberal gratuity at the expense of the people.
We can see no reason why Mckinley
should not go to Louisiana TO discuss the
tariff, especially the duties on sugar, and II
he shall encourage the sugar producers tn
rebellion against the Wilson tariff he will
accomplish great good for the country at
large, II the sugar producers shall over
throw the present sugar schedule the result
will inevitably be tree sugar without boun-
ties to sugar producers. The whole Repub.
lican party is now committed TO free sugar,
but while its leaders profess to favor boun.
ty to sugar producers the party would be
rent in twain on the issue OF sugar bounties,
and they never will be restored in any future
tariff or by any future legislation.
We are glad that Mckinley is gsing to
Louisiana to deepen and widen the breach
between sugar producers and the present
tariff system They have only to give the
country political revolution in that State to
assure free sugar to the people without a
tax Of any kind, and especially without the
most odious OF all taxes, the special bounty
of $4,000 each to an inflniteslmal class Of
producers at the expense Of the public
treasury.
The planters Of Louisiana have very fair
protection on sugar now, while the sugar
trust has very unfair protection, and the
basis OF the present protection to sugar
growers will not be unsettled unless the ex
tortionate demands Of 500 sugar planters

COL. BRECKINRLDGES APPEAL
DISMISSED.

The dismissal of Col. Breckinridges ap-
peal from the verdict of the Washington
jury which granted Madeline Pollard dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 ends that dis
graceful episode in American politics in a
manner wholly satisfactory to the moral
sentiment of the people.
Under the statutes of the District of Co.
lumbia the litigation bearing upon the sub
ject there now ends. Miss Pollard may be-
gin such proceedings outside of the District
as will result in the payment of the jury's
award, but the criminal elements of the suit
are eliminated. BY suing under the Ken
lucky statutes it ought to be possible for her
to secure at least portion of the amount to
which the jury declared she was entitled.
Nothing more need be said. The conduct
of Col. Breckenridge has been condemned
in almost every conceivable way. A jury
has convicted him of the offence Of which
he vas charged The people Of his coz.
gressiona district refused to vindicste him
at the primary polls, and friends of many
years standing have severed their relations
with him. In every part of the country the
same condemnation was expressed, and now
the court dismisses the appeal. An old and
respected name disgraced, family and friends
dishonored, prestige torn into fragments and
occupation gone, these are the results of a
career which startled all observers by its
brilliancy and shocked them by its wanton
hypocrisy.
1t was bitter lesson, but it was evidently
needed. The doctrine that mans private
life has nothing to do with his public career
is shattered, and public men of the country
are warned that they can depart from cor.
rect principles only at their peril.
