IunlOr ExarCisas.

The audience which greeted the class
of '07 Of the high school in their junior
exercises on Wednesday eveningiwas
not as large as was deserved, owing to
the week of prayer services which are
being held in our churches. 1t was
unfortunate that the two should conflict
but we understand that combination
of circumstances rendered this the only
available date. The class motto:
without labor there is no rest, no
ease," taken from Carlyle, seems
indeed to be an animating principle
with them for each production indicated
diligent preparation. 1t would be
hardly possible to pronounce any one
essay superior to all Of the rest. Each
in its own way was good. The music
was excellent, as 1t always is when
in charge of Miss Smith. We may well
be proud of the attainments of our boys
and girls in this branch. In fact, 1t is a
little colony OF praise worthy young
people oyer there, who impress us
every time we see them together, with
their evident endeavors TO master every
good thing which falls in their way and
is calculated to promote their success
and usefulness in life.

brought about through the co-opera-
ton of capital and labor. Labor can
not afford to fight capital; neither can
capital afford to fight labor. Bryan

make class fight in order to gain

The manner in which the base ball
clubs of the Western League play oall
suggests the idea that there is an un-
derstanding between the managers of
the different clubs whereby certain
clubs are to lose and certain clubs
are to win on certain days. What
base ball man can account for St.
Paul and Minneapolis clubs getting
beat at Columbus and Kansas City
and defeating Indianapolis on the
grounds of the latter? Professional
base ball may need some such investi-
cation as occurred way back in the '7Os
when dishonest men fixed the games
for their own betting interests.

What reformer can help note the
spirit of reform exhibited in the cor
respondence of Your Uncle Jos. Chad
derdon and Your Uncle James Arnold
to the excellent little paper recently
captured by them for the airing of
their views on reforms and on the cur
rency question. Your Uncle James
Arnold is voluminous in his contribu-
tions and can discourse on the turning
of a copper into silver longer than
Secretary Morton can on the contents
of a blackbird's crop. But Your
Uncle Jos. Chadderdon is obliged to
secure inspiration from other sources.
His son-in-law, D. A. Stuart, his cousin
or relative, E. D. French, Ex-Presi-
dent Beard of the defunct Bank of
Fairfax, the present clerk of court, J.
L. Byram, all rendezvous in the brick
veneered building daily and make
suggestions to the jolly 10.
But in order to make the spirit of
reform all the more effective The Ga
zErTE suggests to these honorable men
that they evolve chapter or two on
the free rental of Offices in the court
house. They can recur to the decIin-
ing days of Mr.. French in the office
of Judge of Probate. They can, with
accuracy, inform the dear people, how
Mr.. French allowed his relation, Your
Uncle 10, to have the free and unlimit-
ed use of the Office reserved fer the
Judge of Probate. AS soon as your
Uncle 10 came here he set up his
Office there. A number of law hooks
we're piled up in the Office, an addi-
tional table was secured, D. A. Stuart
brought in his type writer, and there
they we're, kings of the dump, all for
nothing. Clients we're button-holed
there or in the adjoining room, and
while 10 did the button-holing Stuart
was studying the arts and wiles of
common law.
There we're few complaints from
outsiders against this fragrant abuse
of the county Office, but the officials
were very mum. Uncle 10 held
