Ex-Coneressman Holman, of In

Ex-Congressman Holman, of In
diana, who thoroughly knows the
Democratic party Of his State, says IN
diana Democrats have never seriously
considered that there was any probabil-
!ty of President Cleveland again be-
coming candidate, and they DO not
believe it has been seriously consider
ed anywhere else. Mr.. Holman
thinks that if no mistake is made in the
National ticket Indiana will go Dem
ocratic next year.

the support OF the puollc schools OF
this State. All funds to be derived
from the sale of aforesaid lands, if the
general assembly should ever deem it
advantageous to sell the same, shall be
securely invested and the interest
therefrom alone shall be appropriated.
On this section Mr.. Smoak, Of Or
angeburg,. made quite lengthy
speech in opposition.
ABOUT BOOKS.
Mr.. Behre offered the following:
Section Is. The general assembly
shall provide for the selection and
purchase of such books, maps and
charts as may be necessary for the use
of the pupils attending the public
schools and for the care and disposi-
ton Of same: Provided, That payment
for the same may be made from the
school fund herein provided.
Mir. Behre said that the children in
Abbeville and Oconee save at least IS
per cent. in the cost of the books.
With the three-mill tax we could keep
the schools open for seven months,
and unless we make provision for
these books we would have many of
our boys growing up uneducated. In
my county one-half Of the parents
were unable to buy books. If we are
going to have free school, let us
make it SO broad that it will cost the
people nothing.
The section was rejected-69 10 ~.
THE EoARD OF EDUCATION.
Mr.. Mitchell offered the following
substitute for section 4, which was
adopted.
Sec. 4. There shall be State board
Of education composed Of the COVER
nor, the State superintendent of edu.
cation and four persons to be appoint
ed by the governor every four years.
OF which board the governor shall be
chairman and the State superintend-
ent of education secretary. This
board shall have the regulation of the
examination Of teachers applying for
certificates of qualification and Shall
award all scholarships and have suci,
other powers and duties as may be de-
termined by law. The compensation
and travelling expenses for the four
persons to be appointed to be fixed by
the general assembly.
The whole article was passed to a
third reading then.
1t was decided that the per diem or,
dinance should be taken up and con,
sidered at the night session.
The convention then took a recess.

The Gospel of sensatlonaIlsm.

There is a wide divergence of opinion
with regard to the privileges, as well as
the duties pertaining to the pulpit, says
the st. Albans Messenger. Tue public
announcement of the marriage of Miss
Auna Gould was made the subject of
his morning sermon by preacher of sen
satioualism last Sunday. This lady is
possessed of large wealth and has chosen
husband who belongs to what is called
noble family. So far as the public is
advised the choice is her own and con-
Germs only those Immediately interested.
Her position in society and her large
fortune very naturally gives an unusual
degree of public interest to her approach
ing marriage and a reasonable measure
of curiosity with regard to the details is
not unnatural. 1t is, however, simple
justice to say, the expectant bride and
all more directly interested in the event
have borne themselves with commend
able modesty and have avoided rather
than courted publicity. Whether she
has acted wisely or unwisely in bestow-
ing her hand and fortune upon the pos
SCISSOR of title is matter of opinion,
but, at all even's, it is no present con-
cern of the public.
Since the announcement was made the
columns of the daily journals have been
fairly burdened with rumors and counter
rumOrs concerning the affair. And upon
these rumOrs, many of them born entire
ly of the vivid imaginations of newspa-
per reporters, Rev. DR.. Peters based his
last Sunday mornings religious dis
course. He charged the lady with sell
ing herself for an empty title, with the
intention of abandoning her religious
faith, with bringing reproach upon the
sacle ed institution of matrimony, predict
ing all sorts of trouble and misfortune
as the necessary result of this shameless
ba gain, and generally treated the sub
ject as though she had committed, or is
about to commit, an objectionable sin.
SO far as the lady is concerned, the Sc
lection of husband is entirely person
al matter. 1t may prove fortunate or
unfortunate, she may have paid an ex-
orbitant price for worthless title and
live to repent the folly, But there is not
the slightest evidence she has acted diff
ferently than thousands and tens of
thousands of other good and true women
have acted in the choice of hush ands.

We thought the callOusness of Grover
l. would be pierced after awhile. The
following despatch appeared Tuesday,
simultaneously In Democratic papers:
"In the allotment of the bonds by the
Morgan-Belmont syndicate, the bidders
or $1,000 and under and the foreign ex-
change houses which ship gold, were
awarded the full amount of their bids.
Sayings banks receive 60 per cent. of
their bids, and others, 10 to 20 per cent
of the amount of subscriptions. The syn
dictate is turning over to the Sub-Treas
ury all gold received on account of sub
scriptions, which is charged to syndicate
account on the Sub b-Treasury and gold
receipts issued therefor. The Govern
ment will consequently receive much
larger amount of gold than the S65, 5,000,-
900 for which the bonds are issued. One
member of the syndicate estimates that
at least $SO,OOO,OOO gold will have been
deposited by the syndicate before the
contract with the Government is COM
pleted" 1t is significant, however, that
in New York, the same day the U. S.
Sub Treasurer said that the surplus gold
was deposited "just like any bank ac-
count" Just so! After the above des-
patch has done it's work the surplussage
will be withdrawn land nothing said' in
Democratic circles.

and they have reduced the national cred
it SO that the government has to pay 81
per cent. interest where the citizen can
borrow for 3 per cent. The generation
which followed the Civil War knew what
the Democratic party in power meant,
and kept it in the minority for quarter
of century. The world is fond of ex-
periments, and the experiments run in
cycles. What has been will be. So, af-
ter thirty years we have tried the Demo-
cratic party in power once more. We
gave them the Presidency and Congress,
and we have had repeated, industrially
and financially, the experiences of the
Democratic party in power, as it was
evidenced in their rule prior to 1860.
The Democratic party stands for nothing
national. Its principles in the East are
antagonistic to its principles in the West.
Its ideas in the West are hostile to it's
ideas in the South, and its views on the
Pacific coast have no relations to its prin-
ciples or ideas or views anywhere else in
the country.

Vermont's High Standard and Sue
cess.

The extent to which Vermonters who
have strayed from the borders of their
native State are coming back to her shell
tering hills from the far West, says the
the Free Press, has impressed CORE
spondent of our esteemed contemporary,
the Ludlow Tribune, and he seeks to ac
count for this migratory movement. He
finds that VermOnts high standard as re-
CARDS the quality of her natural products
no less than her men and women, is be-
ing recognised as never before and says:
''In the city when they want to indicate
that anything is first class, they say it is
from Vermont. All over Boston l have
seen such signs as these: Vermont But
ter Vermont Maple Sugar Vermont
Honey Vermont Poultry and so on"
This is correct picture of the situa-
tiOn and to the list of products given,
which command premium when they
bear the trade mark of the Green Mount
ain State might be added Vermont Gran
ite, Vermont marble, Vermont horses,
Vermont sheep and other products
which will readily suggest themselves to
the reader.
The real reason why Vermonters are
returning to Vermont and remaining in
Vermont, however, is the discovery of
the fact that they can prosper in their
native State as is possible nowhere else
at the present time. While other States
are stagnant or possibly losing ground
Vermont's resources are being developed
as never before. The,secret of the whole
situation is, our people have discovered
that safe business is always the safest
and are governing themselves according

The JInrickisha is a queer looking
used in the streets of Japan. It is said
to be the invention of an American Mis-
sionary. 1t is a two-wheeled, hooded
conveyance with springs, and is drawn
by one or two men. On a good road
they travel at a speed of about 6 miles
per hour. The rate of Hire is about 4
cents per mile. We can fancy Japanese
soldiers as represented, fastening to the
seat of war in these fast vehicles.
Organized labor in some quarters
seems to be losing it's head. The electri-
cal workers at New York are acting as if
higher wages and shorter hours and a
scarcity of idle workmen were the ord er
of the day. And the men in the build
ing trades seem to be laboring under the
same impression, and threaten sympa-
thetic strike in behalf of the electrical
workers. Recent strikes have shown
that for every man who quits his place
there are two or three ready to take it
even in the face of riotous opposition.

The Worcester Telegram recalls the
fact that the Democrats have been fav-
ored, as they were in former Democratic
times, 1S46-6O, by a great gain in gold
production. The United States holds
first rank among gold-produclng coun-
tries, the output last year being SAL ,OOo,-
900, an increase of IA per cent. over the
output of 1893. But the Democratic Ad-
ministration and it's tariff car send gold
out of the country faster than the miners
can dig it out of the ground, and this
greatest gold-producing country in the
world is compelled, after two years of
Democracy, to go to European money
lender and borrow gold.

The Rector of st Georges church,
New York City, last year startled the
world by proposal that the church start
saloons. We have not seen that DR..
Rainsford's indeas materialized in the
Metropolis, but Chicago has put the
scheme in operation. One Bishop Fal-
lows of the Reformed Episcopal church,
has opened place of business, other
wise saloon and Bishops punch" ,"
which tastes like the Intoxicating bev-
erage but is not in fact alcoholic, is in
great demand. We find the following
description: While called the Home
Salon." the place of business, it is said
is to every appearance an elegant liquor
saloon, with mahogany bar. The drinks
have been made to initiate in efferves-
cence and odOr the real alcoholic article.
And the plugs" and faucets and brass
rail are the common saloon appendages.
But cigarettes are forbidden, and, it is
claimed, no alcohol is to be found in the
place, or its liquids. No 'bouncer" is
kept. but superior brand of moral
suasion" is to act instead. Lunch is
provided, and for ten cents good meal
is promised. Fine cigars will be sold,
and telephone and reading room is at
the disposal of patrons. This is surely
attacking the devil in his own fortress,
and the practical result will be watched
with much interest by others beside
Bishop Fallows, who himself has i'm
plicit faith in its efficacy.
