rletoric Display Promised.

AS we see from an exchange, as
troromers predict that flaming meteors
will lombard the earth about the 10th
inst. According to their prognostics
the sky will be veiled with streaks of
light as the stars shoot through the at
mosphere, but the seige will be raised
before the metoric combatants get
within hailing distance. Some of the
meteors joining in the fusilade may
hurl the chips from their shoulders to
the earth. None Of the shooters, how
ever, will come nearer this planet than
seventy-five miles, though they may
leave some "reminiscences Of their visit
behind them. Astronomers have sched-
uled the meteoric shower for August
10th, but they have inside information,
the arrangement may be upset any
moment. The earth is doing it's best
to hasten the event by travelling to-
ward the stream of meteors at the rate
of eighteen miles a second.

The immense power that a local
newspaper possesses in attracting trade
to the town in which it is published or
diverting into other channels can hard
ly be estimated. Further, it is mat
ter that is seldom considered as an i'm
portant factor in towns prosperity,
for the simple reason that business
men generally do not give it thought.
He who will impartially consider this
assertion will be convinced of the truth
of it. The local paper is very natur-
ally biased in favor Of the place Of its
publication and if given a fair living
patronage by home business men,
will guard their interests just as the
merchant guards the interests of his in
divdual customer But if niggard-
ly support is doled out to it, it cannot
in Justice to those patrons exert itself
in behalf Of its own town as it other
wise would. Try system of liberal
ity in the matter of advertising eXpeD-
diture and mark the result. ,-Farmviile

Armenian l1eeting.

According to the announcement in last

held in Burwel Hall last Sunday after
noon IN the interest of the Armenian
sufferers. 1t was not an effort of any one
church but simply Il general movement

to help save from starvation, the un-
fortunate Armenians
a gOOdly number of men, women and
children attended the meeting Rev W.

tlonal exercises made the opening ad-
dress. This was followed by short ad-
dresses by Messrs. T. NJ Pittman, J. II .
Bridges, j. f. Inge, Jr., and W. b.
Shaw.
The speakers dwelt somewhat on the
history and location of this people and
their country-a historic people in a
historic cOuntry-mentioning also some
thing Of their horrible suffering and their
urgent present need of bread. $4,000
cruelty butchered, mostly bread winners,
and 1000, mostly women and chill
dren, starving to death are facts too
cruel for the human heart to dwell upon:
yet wien once heard they cannot be as
lily dismissed from the mind. The peti-
cal aspect was also referred to. The ex-
ercises were interspersed with lively sing
ing.

The San Jose Herald" referring to
the proposition of the Populist Conven-
ton to abolish the Constitution in order
to paralyze the courts, declares that
the resolution moves in the right direc-
ton:
1t should be noted that the United
States is the only country that gives
its courts the power to annul the Acts
of the Legislature Nothing can annul
an Act of Parliament but another Act,
yet Great Britain seems to get along
very well without any Supreme Court
to defeat the will of the people; and
other civilized nations have a like ex-
perience.
But Great Britain has not a written
constitution, a charter Of grants and
limitations, and therein the distinc-
ton is. The Constitution is expressly
provided that there shall not be I'M
limited legislative power, since the au-
tocracy of majority is often the most
dangerous and remorseless tyranny. 1t
is very true that the courts are often
called upon to stand against what ap-
pears to be the will of the people. But
it is never the constitutiOnally ex-
pressed will of the people. It is their
clamorous expression, perhapaS the eX-
preston of their newspaper press, and
probably sometimes the honest and de-
Hibernate expression of a vast major
ity. But what does that indicate?
Simply that the people wish to relax
limitations or enlarge grants expressed
in the Constitution; but there is a way
by themselves provided to the amend
ment Of that bond Of unity and bulwark
Of liberty.
