DR.. Parker'S Address. -Attenoantsa at
the Methodist church last Sunday MORN
ing had the pleasure of listening to Kew.
DR.. E. w. Parker, the veteran missionary
at Lucknow. DR.. Parker briefly outlined
the routine work OF a missionary in India,
giving interesting accounts OF circuit ana
district meetings, Epworth League raj
lies and other gatherings OF the converts
There were now 15 900 members OF the
Epworth League in India and since lie
went there 81 years ago 100000 natives
had become converted. Every caste had
been reached and great progress was be,
ing made all along the line. He hoped
that the Methodist churches of America

by their contributions and urged all to
do their part in raising the debt. During
his address DR.. Parker gave many inter-
esting "reminiscences He spoke OF how
he started the first subscription paper to
build a Methodist church in st. Johns
bury, and later of the farewell meeting
when he and his wife first sailed for India.

daughter of Mrs. E. M. Harris, who
died Sunday, was held Tuesday, Rev.
Thomas lyric officiating. The bereaved
mother has the sympathy of host OF
friends. Kitty, as she was called by her

THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Let Us Have An Electric Street Railway.
EDITOR LEADER:
If the people of our city are agreed
npon any one thing, it is in favoring a
better street car service. The question
of whether the horse-cars pay does not
figure; that is something that concerns
those who propose to put money in an
up-to-date modern street railway, and
if they are willing to risk it our City
Council ought certainly to give them an
opportunity, and that without delay.
The issue of the Register of the goth
instant was especially interesting to
most. if not all, of orr citizens, because
of the information given on this sub
ject 1t is apparent that the capitalists
and those representing money haye
strong faith in the future of Marietta.
The people were delighted to learn
that there was competition, and that
more than one syndicate was in the
market-that two bids were received.
These bids interest al classes, but

THE cIRCUITJUDcESHIP.

Washington County VIII Present Can
didate to Succeed Judge Clark.
The term of Circuit Judge Clark, of
Ross county, expires this year and the
members of the Washington County
Bar have paid Judge Hiram l.. Sibley a
handsome compliment by announcing
his name as candidate for the Repub-
1ican nomination.
Following is the announcement, with
the signatures of the gentleman max
ing it:
Whereas, at the ensuing election in
November there is to be elected a Judge
of the Cicuit Court for the Fourth Judi
cial District of Ohio, and
Whereas, the Bar of Washington
County, having long and intimate ac-
quaintance with Honorable Hiram l..
Sibley, gained from more than thirteen
years practice before him as judge of
the Common Pleas Court, and from
many wears of association with him
prior thereto as member of the Bar,
recognize in him an able lawyer, pro-
found student, of all branches of learn
ing related to the Law, a thinker Of
great analytical power and accurate
logic, an upright just and pains-taking
Judge, whose opinions have command
ed the respect of other Courts.
Therefore we, the undersigned, mem
bers of the Bar of Washington County,
without distinction of party affiliations
and des;rous that our Court shall con-
tinue to maintain its present high
standing, hereby most earnestly re-
quest Hon. Hiram L. Sibley to allow
his name to be presented as a candi-
date for nomination as Circuit Judge
before the coming Republican Conven-
tion of the Fourth judicial Circuit of
Ohio

NO INDIAN WARS IN CANADA.
The United States Contrasted with tho
DOminion-A British View,

The United States Contrasted with tho
Dominion-A British View.
The great fact stands boldly forth
that Canada has never fought the In
dians, and she will not begin to do SO
now. Never has Canada had an Indian
war; an Indian massacre is unknown in
The annals of her history. She is too
poor to seek glory by slaughtering the
natives born of her soil and too proud
to defame her character or stain her
escutcheon. Contrast with this, says
the Westminster Review, the policy of
the United States, that is nearly al
ways fighting it's red men. Indian wars
are very expensive matters to deal
with. The small episode of last year,
beginning with the Messiah craze and
ending with the tragedy at Pine Ridge
agency, covering but q few weeks, cost
the United States government $2,000,-
600, besides the lives lost, and in ad-
dition unsettled the natives through
out the country. 1t is to the credit of
the Canadian Indians that, although
sorely tempted, the Messiah craze had
nc charms for them. There was in
Canada, it is true, Riel's last rebellion,
that cost Canada $7o00,OOo and the
lives of some of her noblest citizens.
But that was not an Indian uprising.
Nevertheless, it taught both the white
men and the rcd men O. lesson. 1t
taught Canada that it would be cheaper
to ration all the Indian tribes than to
have another rebellion; and it taught
the Indian the prowess of the authori-
ties, and this was emphasized by the
trips given the Indian chiefs to On
tario, where they beheld tokens of the
power, wealth and glory of the white
men.

seventeen presidents. What a world
of memories the old man has. You
can't alarm him with fears Of the na-
,ion going to ruin through the curren-
Cy question. He has heard the cry of
ruln too long and too often. 1t makes
him smile 10 hear the boys talk ruin
now. 1t is the same old ,ccs!n that
pealed the alarm in Jackson's day =.
when the Cuited States bank was de
monetized, and he remembers that, 1t
was bigger fuss than this, he says,
though there wasn't SO many people
nor SO many newspapers to make it.
The old man came South in his earlv
manhood and rode on the first and
only railroad Of any length that had
then been built. He is concordance,
a chronology, an antiquity. There are
some older men, but not many who
are as bright, as genial, as contented.
His long life of industry is an object
lesson to the rising ger Grafton, and |
hope they will see it and think Of il.
He has done M big thing to give him
fame or fortune, but he has fought a
good fight and set good example.

| see that my old friend, Sam Car
nochan, Of Rome, has recently cele-
brated his eighty-sixth birthday. He
is still hale and hearty and loves TO
talk to his friends about the good old
times. He is harness maker By trade
and perches on his stool and talks
while he works and feels the feeling Of
an honest, industrious man. Appren
tlced to the trade when he was four
teen years old, he has continuously pur-
sued his calling for seventy years, and
in all that time do not suppose that
he ever defrauded any man. | have
never heard him complain Of his lot or
of hard times. | never heard him
abuse anybody more than to say: "He
should not have done that. It is wrong.
What pity" And yet he is a man
of opinions and does not hesitate to
express them.
How came old Father Carnochan to
be SO industrious and work SO hard and
live SO long and enjoy life and have
good health? He says he reckons it
just happened SO, but my opinion is
that his early habits had much to do
with it. For seven years he yas "bound
OUT" as we used to call it. Bound to
a saddler and harness maker in New
York city to Learn the trade. That
used to be common at the North, and

sp 5c,tul thanks, saying that he thought
! Mr.. DAVIS required quiet, and though

ceremony must be entirely private.

became iretiul was when one ot the
family refused 10 look over the items
Of his accounts. After Mr.. DAVIS WAS
liberated he felt tina. his broken tpr-
tunes did not justify his keeping ser
wants for plrely personal needs, and a
lea' afterward he very reluctuan,ly
looked out for a good place tor the
friend with whom necessity forced hun
to part Frederick again offered ID
stay with him for a small sum, but he
was affeCtionately refused, and the
great president Of the Baltimore and

he always entertained a sincere re-

but when death claimed him the br
ken hearted father wrote To Mrs. Da-
Wis, Il have no one now To bear my
honest name; my boy promised To lie
credit TO me, but Gods vii! lie

"Some years before his death Mr..
Davis repeated his offer To give Fred

a request that re would come and
make his home with him III the South,

the even tenor OF his way, asking
nothing Of any man except what he

able endeavor, which was crowned
with substantial, if humble, success, he
