REV HERBRUcK TALKS FOR AMERICANS

Rev. +. Z. HerbrlIck the four councils of the
Jr. o. L, A. NJ, 4. s. Grant council of the o.
L. A. NJ, and ID. Of A. attended divine worship
at Trinity Reformed church. TheIe were
about 400 members Of the different orders
present. When the service opened the large
auditorium Ofthe beautiful church was crowded
After the usual music and prayer Rev. Her
bruck spoke from the text taken from the first
verse of the eighth chapter of Deuteronomy,
IAN the commandments which / command
thee this day shall We observe to do, that ye
may live, and multiply, and 90 in and possess
the land which the Lord swOre unto your
fathers" Rev. Hcrbruck spoke against un-
restricted foreign immigration, as being a
menace to the American government. The
founders of the United States never meant
America to be dumping place for the sewers
of Europe, That the best recommendation n
man ought to have, socially, financially or
politically, was not that he was German, an
Englishmau, an Irishman or an Italian, but
that he was an American. That unrestricted
immigration is a menace TO American work
man. The country projects the manufacturer
by placing a tariff on his goods, but allows
free trade in foreign labor. Mr.. Herbruck
made strong appeal in support of free
speech, free press and the free public school
system. The services concluded by the CON
gregation joining in singing the national
hymn America.

AN oRAToRIcAL WAR.

II. A. March, formerly Of Canton is now
agitating Mt, Union college. Harry has Il
peculiar faculty for being heard frem every
place he goes. The Alliance Ckitic says
A few days ago at "A meeting of the College
Oratorical association the president appointed
Mr.. VI. A. March TO give the toast at the state
Ontorical association banquet to be held at
Columbus next Thursday night, as Mr.. Cope,
the gentleman who won second place in the
local contest and VINO would under ordinary
circumstances represent the college at this BAN
quet could not attend. The appointment was
made in view of the fact that Mr..
March would attend the banquet
anyway as he will go as delegate to the state
conclave Of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.
II seems that this appointment did not suit
certain members Of the association and another
called meeting was held at noon today, AT
which the appointment WAS declared Illegal
and il was voted TO place the matter in the
hands Of the faculty for settlement. The
grounds for Objecting TO Mr.. Mareh's appoint.
ment Is said to be because he is not member
of the local association.

tend the policy for subsidizing fast mail
lines. The postoffice appropriation bill

A HORSE HOUSE BREAKER.

Isaac Anthony's horse cut queer caper
Wednesday evening about 1880 O'Clock. The
horse was running away and made for East
Ninth street. 1t was blind with fright and
apparently not seeing where it was going,
ran into Harry Williams house at
No, 12S East Ninth street. The horse
ran against the kitchen door with great yio-
lence, breaking the door in. The impetus the
animal had gained threw it into the kitchen
where il fell against table, upsetting the
table and breaking the dishes Assistance ar
rived and the horse was dragged out but not
until things had been pretty thoroughly de-
molished in the kitchen. No one was hurt,
