Harvey Fowler, the newspaper reporter
who has become clergymen of the Meth
odist church, learned to ferret out sin by
five years. work for the Topeka journal,
his specially being state politics; and there
never was more jealous newsgather
In look and manner he is a typical reporter.
He looks likes an exclamation point; tall,
thin, erect, quick, he fairly startles one
by his presence. An "Adam's applet and
an aggressive nose pillow the way for the
man behind them, and a generous pair of
ears catch all that is going; suspicious
and inquiring mind; a nerve that never
swerves from its purpsse; an imagination
and a perception that need only fragments
if the entire story be not forthcoming; an
accurate comprehension. Such was Fowler,
the reporter, and he will carry that per-
sonality into his new career. Until he gets
his legs in his new job he will behave with
becoming humility, but it will not be long
before he will be asking the presiding elder
and bishop awkward questions, and finally
he will be talking new and strange creed
to his flock. A man with that inquiring
mind cannot stay in a beaten path long.
He is not built to accept things as he finds
them. The Rev. Mr.. Fowler's first charge
will be a circuit of four country churches
in Riley county, his headquarters being at
Zeandale. His last newspaper work was
to report the Wichita convention.-Kansas

Free Silver md Hiph Tariff

A few Pennsylvania manufa cturers met
with the leading FREQ silver Republicans In
Washington yesterday for the purpose of
formulating plan of campaign IN favor of
free silver and protection. The two causes
are rightly linked together. Both have for
their purpose tile alienation of the United
States from the rest of the world. Both
serve the same purpose-to build q wall
around this country and place obs tacIes
in the way of International trade. There
