The annual Commencement of our
High School took place on Wednesday
evening, the exercises being held in
the NJ. E. Church, which was literally
packed. At precisely s o'clock the
members of the graduating class en-
tered with the school uperintendent,
six ladies and two gentlemen. To put
it lightly the ladies looked beautiful in
their white summer dresses. Their
essays were well read and the compost
tion proved that they had spent con-
siderable time and thought Our Cor
net Band rendered few pieces, The
exercises were interspersed with few
pieces from a select choir, and in fact,
being the first public Commencement,
it was very pleasant affair to teach
ers, parents and pupils. Following
the class exercises Superintendent
Shinn introduced Prof. Wagner, of the
Beverly schools, who gave one of the
best talks we have had the privilege of
hearing for some time. He dwelt at
some length on the school interest of
the Country, State and County-A
Closer Unanimity of Parents, Teacher
and Pupils. In all his talk was full of
educational thoughts and for better
school advantages. The graduates
were: W. X. Breckenridge, L. Arm
strong, Allie Wood, Edna Humphrey,
Linnie Beasley, Mamie Klinger, ota
Woodford and Ada Smith.

SIXTEEN TO ONE LOGIC.

KAtuous Arguments of the Froe Silver
Fanatics.
Mexico has free silver. The Mexican
people are very poor. Therefore, we
want free silver.
Wages in this county are too low.
Wages are higher here and in all the
gold standard countries than in China,
India and other silver using nations.
Therefore, we want free silver.
We believe in the double standard
under which both metals will be used
to measure values. Free coinage atsix-
teen to one will drive out all our gold
and put our currency on the silver basis.
Therefore, we want free silver
We favor an honest dollar which shall
be just to all the people. The adoption
of the silver standard will enable debt
ors to repudiate one-half of their obli-
cations. Therefore, we want free sill
yer.
Gold dollars are too scarce and dear
TO serve as money of the people. Unde.
free coinage silver dollar will always
be worth just as much as gold dollar.
Therefore, we want free silver.
The government can make so cents
worth of metal worth 100 cents in gold
by stamping it "one dollar Under
free coinage such a dollar would buy
only half as much goods as a sold dol
lar-that is, it would be worth only
half as much. Therefore, we want free
silver.
The prosperity of the American peo-
pie depends on the amount OF wealth
produced and the fairness with which
it is distributed among the producers.
Measuring products in silver instead of
gold would neither create any more
wealth nor distribute it more justly.
Therefore, we want free silver.
The country is suffering because there
is not half enough money to do business
with. AS soon as free-coinage law is
passed our $GOO,o0O,C0O in gold will all
be withdrawn, and we shall lose all
that amount from circulation. There
fore, we want free silver.
There is something wrong with the
country somehow, though we don't
know what it is nor how to cure it..
But everything win come all right If a
lot of cheap-money agitators are elected
to congress, so now and everIastingly
we want free silver.-Whidden Gra-

Cambridge District Epworth League Con-
vention, Macksburg, o., june Bird
and ith, 1896.

The Methodist Church in adapting
herself to the problem of soul-saying,
is effettually aided by the Epworth
League. wherever the original idea of
the League is carried out. supplying
the long. felt need of a better under
standing and application of the princi-
pies of Christianity and Methodism
among our young people.
When we think of the mighty host
of consecrated young people whose
prayers rise like incense to the throne
of God whose deeds of mercy and help
have brought food to the hungry and
Joy and comfort to hearts and homes;
whose minds are being directed to pur-
er literature deeper thought and high
er ideals; whose social natures have
become SO broadened that they do not
depend upon amusements of ques-
tionable character to furnish their en-
ioyment: we realize that the Epworth
League is a power in the evangelical
tion of the world.
While rejoicing in the prosperity Of
the League thus far we look ahead to
the dangers that threaten. The great
est of these is the danger of not hold
ing the Spiritual Department as the
chief cornerstone, rightly holding to-
gether the entire structure.
We are able to report the Leagues of
the District in good condition. With
gratitude for the past, we pledge our
selves to better work in the future,
looking up and lifting up in the name
of Him whose we are and whom we
serve.
