With waking eyes l watch the hours

And so do ! %
The richest Viands flank her silver plate
Coarse grub have /
Pure wine she sips at ease, her thirst TO

I pump my drink from Erie's lmpid lake.
Ny love has all the world at will to
roam
Three acres 1;
She goes abroad, or quiet sits at home
So cannot ]
Bright angels watch around her couch at

A Yank. with loaded gun keeps me in

For the present the Democratic tarih
platform is that this government has no
constitutional right to lay tariff except
for revenue only."-New York Sun.
Our brilliant New York contemporary
has not heard the news from the Demo
Gratis in Congress. who have resolved to
get the best tariff they can, and let "a
tariff for revenue only work out its own
mission, whatever that is. Not to break
up the Democratic party, let US all hope.

The Tax on Churches.

The Stanton Post makes the following
good point:
"The great mass Of people are attend
ants upon and are supposed TO be contrl-
butOrs to some church, representing some
religious sect or creed. II a tax were i'm
posed upon churches, would not the in
diyidual members OF the churches have
to contribute TO make up the sum re-
quircd to pay this tax, and would not
this be in effect direct tax upon such
persons? TO our mind, II would be as
sessing men for the privilege Of worship
ping in their own chosen manner ana
setting a premium upon inhdelity and
unbclef. In short. IL would be dis
couraglng Christianity and encouraging
unbCllef and wiCkedness."

After Treasurer Harman's statement Of
the account between Virginia and the
United States Government, We should
suppose that the latter would no longer
pretend that this Commonwealth is debtor
to il. The United States Government
owes Virginia hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars lent It about the time of the war
Of lH2-l5. and though the business Of our
claim Is not seriously disputed Congress
continues to defer payment.
The little that Virginia owes the Fed'-
raj Government as trustee for the indian
trust fund we could and would promptly
pay IL the Federal Government would put
into our Treasury what 1t owes us.

The President and the Income Tax.

The New York Sun declares that the
income-tax IS an administration measure
and came from the White HAIse. In
another article that paper says "the man
who calls for the passage Of tarin bill
so long as II includes an income-tax Is a
traitor to the United States OF America"
SO, our New York contemporary being
Judge, Mr.. Cleveland Is a traitor OF that
kind. And what a lot OF traitors there are
following in the footsteps OF the Presi-
dent We are glad 70 know that he stands
with his party on this question.

age of membership January 5, 1894, was forty
two years and seven months. On July s.
1894 it was thirty nine years and eight months,
which shows the predominating element Of
the younger class Of men, the average age re-

eleven months. The average attendance dur.
ing the term was II. The number OF visitors,
634. The largest attendance at any one meet

The absence Of the usual variety Of items In
