Establish Home Industpies and Increase
ForefUu Eyports.

Protectionists desire earnestly an expaD
sion Of our export trade. Their policy Ia
to establish firmly home industries and
let American ingenuity and enterprise do
the rest Thus the manufacture OF watches
at Waltham, Mass, Elgin, Ills, and else
where has been followed by the export OF
American watches TO Europe, Mexico,
South America and Australia This ex-
port trade is due primarily TO the success
attained at home under protection
II we did not make good watches at
Waltham and elsewhere, we could not
have encountered Swiss competition
abroad. What is true of the watch in
dustry Is true Of many others. 1t would
apply to great many more industries II
they had received in the past years the en-
couragement to which they are entitled.
This country ought, for instance, TO be ex-
porting tin plate in large quantities, In
stead of buying it from Great Britain.
The flippant writers who clamor for the
development of our export trade by open
ing the gates to foreign products OF all
kinds do not know how American manu-
facturers have with difficulty acquired q
footing abroad and retained 1t. Protec-
tion enabled them to do 1t.

Practical Christian Work.

Many excellent people are troubled
about the increasing prominence whicn
me Church is assuming in affairs which
we're formerly regarded as purely secular.
They deplore the discussion of questions
Of the day in the pulpit. They look
sskauce al the endeavor of the younger
pastors to make the Church q source not
merely Of religious teaching but OF social
influence. They regard with distsvor
the institution OF reading rooms, special
circles Of study and gymnasiums under
chureh auspices. In their minds and
tni- theory has unquestionably been held
by large majority of the church mem
aers in tbs past-the proper function OF
the Church is the dissemination of soun'
doctrine on the Lords day. That this is
An essential duty of all religious organ.z~-
ton may be frankly admitted. In every
age since the sublime sacrifice on Galway
tue voice of the Church has been upilfted
exhorting men to repentance. enforcing
the obligation of righteousness, declaring
that DO human being who wilfully and
persistently disobeyed the eternal laws OF
his Maker could escape the penalties pro
yided in the providence of God Yet
while this work of warning. of invitation
of entreaty, must always be upon the pull
pit, there seems to be no reason why the
Church should not broaden It's activities,
expand its energy and seek continually
t. develop all the manifold sides of human
nature in the right wa7.
If indeed, this is Gods world, and not
the fantastic conglomeratio1 of chance
and chaos-lf under and through our ex-
peai, nces, in business. in society, IN poll
,ics, there runs the purpose of an unchang
ing law; if we are the children OF lie
Eternal, who, watching over US. neither
-lambers nor sleeps-taen the affairs OF
,.lr daily life are Gods affairs, and the
Church as an organization OF Christian
,neu and women has AMI assured right I"
ert er into the multiform phases OF modern
existence. TIE clergyman who stands
before the altar abdicates none OF the
prerogatives of his citizenship. The de-
yout Church member is as keenly interest
&c in the general concerns of life as the
scoffer and the atheist. The old doctrine
that all the good things of the world were
snares and temptations has been thorough
ly exploded. II, as the new testament re-
pea tedly teaches, the body is the sanctuary
of the Most High, everything which con-
Germs its we'll being and adds to its eff
cheney is worthy of Christian attention.
If tn o intellect, with its power to soar into
the Infinite ami its ability to grasp the
veriest trihes. is gilt from the hand OF
Almighty, whatever improves and
strengthens it must bs in accord with the
divine order.
These considerations may well b urged
by the more progressive element for the
justification of the invasion of tie various
departments of life by churchly activity.
In general, it may be said that whatever
m akes a man Better citizen makes him
better Christian.-Er.

OBITUARY NOTE.

Our Anandale correspondent records the
death of John Kenehan, who CAME to
Butler from Ireland about the year 1885.
he was a relative of Timothy Cannon,
long deceased, and of whom We suppose
there are not now ten persons in this town
of Butler who knew or remember him
although he was quite a noted character IN
his day Mr. Cannou's chief occupation
wa- grubbing and cleaning out Of land,
and be did much of that kind of labor
about this place. He sent to Ireland for
his nephew, John kenehsn. to come over
here and help him. By their joint labor
in clearing out land they were enabled to
purchase from the late Johl Negley de-
ceased large tract of land up in Cherry
twp. where Mr.. Keneham removed TO and
lived until the past year or two when he
came back to Butler and lived with q
daughter here. He was an honest and
iDdustr Gus citizen and this brief mention
of him is by one who remembers the early
circumstances of his coming to this
country and who helped to pick and pile
up some of the brush tnat he and Timothy
Cannon cat aud cleared.

The Brice line will secure traffic ar
rangements at Mahaffey over the Beech
Creek railroad to Jersey Shore, a dis
tance of II6 miles, and connection to the
East may be had over the Fallbrook rail-
road to Lyons, n. ", where the New
York Central railroad will be touched.
The New York Central now controls the
Beech Creek and Fallbrook lines. At
Jersey Shore, also, connection will be
made with the Fallbrook line to Will
Transport, distance of IS miles.
At Williamsport connection will be
made with Philadelphia and Reading rail-
road for the seaboard. The Pittsburg
and Eastern railroad will also build next
year a connection with their main line,
at Deckers Points, to Punxsutnwney,
where the Buffalo Rochester and Pitts
burg r. R. ends. This will afford still an
other outlet for Brice freight. The Akron
line through Butler county, will open
considerable valuable coal land and with
that from the Loyalhanna mines, on the
Pittsburg and Eastern, and from other
fields, which the latters building will
open, it will prove an important factor
in the lake coal trade.
Col. A. L. Conger, John Pitcairn and
other prominent capitalists interested in
the project, drove over the proposed
route last year and were delighted with
the easy grades that will be secured.
The Akron and Pittsburg will effect an
entrance into Pittsburg for the present,
over the Pittsburg and Eastern to West
Newton, and from that point over the
Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghio-
gheny, and the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
roads.
Engineers representing Senator Brice
have made surveys for line from New
Castle through Coaltown and Petrolia,
where it intersects the Pittsburg and
Western railroad, thence to East Brady,
Punxsutawney, Curwynsville, Phillips
burg Bellefonte, Lewisburg, Danville,
Hazelton, Mauch Chunk and Easton. 1t
was the intention, if this route was fol-
lowed, to make connection at Easton
with branch of the Lehigh Valley rail-
road into New York This would be al
most an air line, but it will be feared the
grades would be unusually heavy.

A New Trunk Line.

In an article on Senator Brice's propos-
ed new trunk line from St. Louis to the
Seaboard, the Pittsburg Times of last
Friday, said-The company has, for the
present, only secured charters i'll Ohio,
but it is the intention to take out charters
in Pennsylvania which will permit of the
extension of the line through to the
East. The road will be extended
from Lowville across the Mahoning river
and will run to New Castle From New
Castle the route will run slightly to the
southeast, to or near Butler, and from
that point an easterly direction will be
taken to Kittanning and on to Marion
Center.
