The Anglican Church Chronicle
for November, freighted with its
usual amount of interesting church
news and timely comment, has
been received. In the educational
department the editor gives sonf
valuable suggestions to teachers,
which we quote in part, as follows:
'The great thing for teachers
to remember is that their business
is not only to prepare young per
sons to get their living, Dur also
to fit them to take their place III
the world as rational beings. Il i
the teachers privilege and duty 10

the objects which cause friction =
consequently in the teacher should
be seen the most rational of men
He should evince in his own life
much of his teaching. And no
man has more opportunities of car
.rying this out, for We believe no
man has more friction to endure
than the teacher. He or she, to
begin with, must be person of
leathern constitution bound in iron
for he must never be i'll or in,
disposed. 1t is a bad example to
the pupils to have ailments. His
nerves must be completely under
his control. 1t is a sign hat he
must be getting ancient if the hines
appear on his face. His gray hairs
are not the warrant for a pension
for faithful services, but one for
dismissal from office. This is not
yet true, we are glad to say, in
this country, because no one ever
becomes ancient. Men and women
of 70 years and even over the al
lotted span, are doing youthful
work. But the hard features of the
outer world are creeping in among
us with our new men and methods,
so that we may all agree in time
that the old is better

The Washington Star has UNI
earthed the fact that the American
Protective Association sent out cir
culars from the headquarters in
Washington, suggesting ThaC the
members of the order withhold
votes from Candidate Bryan. The
cause of this action was SAID to be
due to Mr.. Bryan's letter in which
he said he objected to any order
that Disseminated against any
church. Some politicians have
held that this action of the A. P.
A. will do much to bring about a
division of the national vote ON re
ligious lines. Such a result is pos
sible, but with Archbishop Ireland
coming out against Bryan, it seems
hardly probable that the religious
orders, either Catholic or Protest
ant, will come into any direct clash
of sufficient proportions to cause
any great massing of forces for or
against the candidates for Presi-
dent.

Executive has now under delibers

cable Highland it is a fight
against monopolists - along new
and, it is to be supposed, improved
lines. Now there is wide diversi-
ty of opinion as to just what meth
cd Will be considered an improve
ment. No one doubts the wisdom
of the members of the Executive,
but that body is not above profting
by conclusions drawn by the bust
ness community, even if those con
illusions are, for the time being,
based upon conjecture. The delib-
crate thought of the past year has
established the conviction that no
private company should be grated
an exclusive franchise. Further
more, there is decided tendency
to favor the promulgation of a
general franchise that shall be open
to the highest bidder.
We are willing to admit that cir
cumstances may arise which will
place this last proposition without
the realm of expediency. The turn
national politics in the States have
taken since the general election
will have not little to do with
settling this phase of the question.
A Republican Congress would UNI
doubtedly oppose any measure sa-
voring of national control of q tele

Populistic advocates would lean
strongly toward joint national act
ion and national control. Fortu-
nately we have not long to wait for
election returns and a knowledge
of the class of popular representa-
tives with which cable promoters
will have to deal. Meanwhile, the
people should keep their eyes open
and ask that they be kept informed
upon the drift of opinion among
those in whose hands the Legisla-
ture placed the power to grant val
liable privileges.

though this game is usually a cold
weather sport, and the spectator
hardly feels that he can enjoy the
game without being obliged to
stamp his feet and rustic around

Honolulu give promise of putting
plenty of energy and vim intotheir
play, and keeping up their reputa
ton for freedom from the langmd
and enervating influences of the
tropics. The desire to tackle with
Pacific coast rush lines seems to
have passed away, and it is Just as
well that such is the case. The foot

from the coast, so far as is now

stretch we have had during the
current year. 1t is barely possible
that some tramp grain steamer
from the coast may touch here for
coal, and bring papers announcing
the result of the Presidential cleo

there before the Australia. The
City of Picking, from the Orient,
is scheduled to leave this port on
the 18th, and it is possible that she
may arrive on the 15th-next
Sunday. But as the weather to the
westward has doubtless been stor-

before the election took place, she
can bring no news of the result

STUDYING THE SITUATION.

The statements of prominent
business men in another column
show pretty well the tendency of
public opinion on the subject of
the cable franchise. They also
point to the serious thought which
the matter is receiving, in view of
the probability of the new line of
action that may be followed. In
some quarters this paper has been
sharply criticised for suggesting
that the terms of Col. Spalding's
contract should not be made more
liberal, and the possibility of the
whole business being taken out of
private hands. 1t has been suggest
ed that Col. Spalding might be
ready to guarantee greater benefits
III the way OF rates, etc., as an ex-
change for more concessions. This
is matter to be considered when
the public is given more extern
sive knowledge Of what Col. spald-
ing wants.
One thing is worthy of note. No
one is prepared to deny that the

influence of the liquor traffic, will
be the task to which the temper
ance reformers of New York will
set themselves the coming winter.
The accomplishment of this re
vision of the law will be greater
victory than securing the passing
of the original act. In no State in
the United States is the whisky
element more powerful or better
prepared to fight any influence at
work to save the people from the
multifarious ills growing out of in
temperance.

''RAINES LAW" RESULTS.

In a recent issue of the Outlook
is given a review of a report made
by Senator Raines of New York in
defense of the liquor law passed al
the last session of the State Legis-
lature. The Senator deals entirely
with the financial side of the prop
osition, and makes it clear that the
measure he fathered successfully
has been a beneficial venture to
the State treasury. Whereas under
the old law New York City had
10,119 licensed drinking places,
yielding revenue of 81, 100000,
it now has 1910 bringing places,
yielding 1857, 600, or a reduc-
ton of 81 per cent in the former
and an increase of over $3,000,000
in the public income.
This is all very well and entirely
satisfactory to the purely MERGE
nary individual. The people at
large are pleased to know that the
people of New York are paying
their full tribute for the liberty of
gratifying depravedappetite. But
temperance legislation has for its
first object a salutary effect upon
the moral status of the body po-
lite. 1t is not so much the price
that is paid in dollars and cents, or
the number of places where liquor
can be obtained, as it is the amount
of spirituous liquor consumed that
the earnest reformers are watching
most assiduously. With such no
table decrease in the number of
places, a most natural
conclusion is that the consumption
has been lessened to a greater or
less degree, but no figures have yet
been obtained to prove this fact.
The workings of the Raines law
during the past year have shown
that the measure is by no means
perfect, and the next Legislature
viii be called upon to make new
definition for the terms meals"

Of the law has been repeatedly
usurped by the establishment of
bogus hotels, furnishing bogus

Now we will suppose that Col.
Spalding, aside from asking an ex-
tension of time in his contract,
also requests further concessions
from the Hawaiian Government.
What are the Hawaiian people 90
ing to do about it! We can see
only one answer to be made to
this possible event, and it ought
not to require much wealth of ar
gument to settle the matter. Should
Col. Spaldmg's company, through
any authorized agent, request any
further concession in subsidy or
franchise, the reply should be
prompt and unquestionable No!
Furthermore, it is a matter to be
seriously questioned whether the
liberal terms of the present fran
chise should be continued. We re-
fer more particularly to the ex-
elusive privilege which Col. Spald-
ing's company now holds.
Notwithstanding the great ne
cessity for cable communication,
there is no reason why Hawaii
should tie itself up for long term
OF years with any private company.
Exclusive franchises are entirely
contrary to the progressive spirit
of the age, and the people of Ho
nolulu have learned lesson in
granting everlasting franchises
that ought to last them for all
time to come. The Hawaiian tram
way system was once a thing of
beauty, but it is by no means JOY

CABLE DISCUSSION.

Although Hon. John W. Foster
has not declared his intentions,
either publicly or privately, as to
the purpose Of his visit in this coun-
Try, It Is safe to take it for granted
that aside from enjoying vacation
season he Will devote more or less
of his attention to cable matters.
1t Is also safe in opening the dis
cussion 10 take it for granted that
Mr.. Foster Is here in the interests
of the company holding the con
tract made between Col Spalding
and this Government last year.
Whether or no these conjectures
prove true, it Is high time, in view
of the approaching expiration Of
Col. Spalding's contract, that our
people begin TO consider the next
and best move to be made In their
efforts to obtain telegraphic con
nection with the United States.
The agitation for the construc-
ton of the Pacific cable will al
WAYS continue to be a live issue
until success rewards the expendi-
ture of time, money and the best
energies of our public men. In
reviewing Col. Spalding's work
nothing can be said derogatory of
good, solid, earnest work he has
put into the project; but the fact
still remains that, armed with a
good subsidy and all, even more,
concessions as to the terms of tie
franchise than could. be reasonably
asked, he has failed in his attempt.
and we still await the all-important
tangible result-the construction
of cable The lesson. of attempt
ed cable legislation in the last
United States Congress demon
strated conclusively that even with
the most generous concessionsfrom
this country, any private individ-
ual can be baked in the American
Congress by an organization of ca
bic magnates who do not look with
favor upon any enterprise tending
to shorten the telegraphic. distance
between the Orient and the United
States. They realize only too well
that an Hawaiian cable means a
Japan cable, and thus a good por-
ton Of the Eastern business will
be diverted to new channels. 1t is
a pure matter of dollars and cents,
and the Atlantic magnates are
looking after the business of their
lines, and not the commercial in
terests of the Hawaiian Islands.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1896-11-13

Finally, by no means the least
important feature of the discussion
that must sooner or later be open
ed, is the absolute necessity that
the public should be kept CON
stantly in touch with proposed
Government action. The band of
secrecy should not, must not, be
drawn too closely about the delib-
CREATIONS of our national execu-
tive body. The plans should not
be drawn and the matter settled so
far as the Government is concern
ed until there has been an opportu-
nifty for full and free discussion
by the body polite; enough time
given for public consideration as
well as executive deliberation. The
history of the Spalding contract
ought to impress upon the people
the propriety of early publicity.
Absolute confidence is placed in
the wisdom of our executive body,
but the interest displayed in what
that body is requested to do is by
no means of the petty, prying, in
quisitive order. Every man in the
country, and particularly mem
bers of the business community,
have serious concern in every move
made in bringing Hawaii into
closer union with the outer world.
If any individual or collection of
individuals are seeking to secure
further privileges from this com-
try, every man has right to know
it, whatever the final action may
be. Throw the doors open and the
people will be satisfied with the
,esult.

The Bicycle was Stolen.

Several weeks ago a fellow who claim
ed to be from Indiana county and was
on his was home from Driftwood, where
he had been visiting his brother, rode
into Reynoldsville on a bicycle. He
said he was sick, had run out OF money
and wanted to put up his wheel for 30
days for $500 to travel from this place
home on the train. Frank Sutter gave
the fellow $500 and took the wheel.
Lawyer Weakley drew up an article of
agreement for Sutter and the stranger,
for which the stranger paid one dollar
out of the fifteen dollars received from
Sutter. Last week Mr.. Sutter was in
formed that the bicycle in his possession
had been stolen from man named Ford
at Punxsutawney and that Ford offered
reward of $1,000 for the return of the
bicycle. Sutter returned the wheel to
the owner and got the reward offered.

Corbett Gathering,

Years ago two brothers, named John

land to America to buy flax seed. The
ship on which they had travelled
started on the return trip before the
two brothers were ready to go back
and the result Of it was two Irishmen
never returned to their native land.
John married and settled in Virginia
and William married and settled in
New Jersey. John become the father
of eight sons and several daughters.
William become the father Of one son,
whom he called William Corbett. This
son married when he reached man
hood and he become the father of ten
sons and two daughters. The descend
ants OF the ten sons and two daughters
of VIM. Corbett, jr., held reunion on
the Clarion Assembly grounds, near

large reunion, over 300 being present,
and all the descendants Of the ten sons
and two daughters referred to were not
present. They gathered in from Clear

AT meeting of the school board the
first Of this month rules aud regulations
for the government of the Reynoldsville

them up some where to refer to until
they are thoroughly familiar with the
requirements contained in the rules so
as to be able to obey them, and there
will be no occasion for pupils getting
into trouble during the ensuing term
for disobeying the school laws unless
they wilfully disobey them.
