STATE CAMrAIGN.

On next Tuesday August 10, 1896.
the State Campaign Meeting for
Union county will be held in this
town.
The speeches and the behavior of
the speakers heretofore have not
been what they should have been,
and We think the public at large were
becoming so thoroughly disgustcd
that the Democratic State Executive
committc was on the point of calling
off the speakers and cancclling the
appointments. Well. Judging from
the previous meetings, it would have
been very good idea: Cor the cam
paign. instead of being one of cduca-
ton as was announced i'm the bcginn-
ing. has been nothing but Il mind
Singing contest, and vicious charges of
rebates. bond fees and insurance
rascalitv. Well. these are very serious
charges to make against Il public
officer. and We don say that they have
been proven. but there has been some
very strong evidence of=uilt, and it
bchoovcS the officials to give Il correct
account of their stewardship: it is
their duty and should be their
pleasure, to give the same.
Every citizen has a right to ask
amy public officer as to the duties of
his office, ard when they get so high
and uppi>h that they can't give us
plain explicit and true account OF
their stewardship then indeed arc
they higher and mightcr than the
people who made them: the created
i greater than the creator. If thc>"
were county officials and these char
gcs were made against them. Union
c,unty'S grand Jury would soon have
Il committee investigating the affairs
of these officials. and they would not
stop until tic whole truth was known.
Now AZ 10 next Tuesdays meeting.
every sober man has Il right to ask
any speaker any question he desires
on any subject concerning the public
or public welfare. and We also is en-
titled to decent answer of the same.
Unless YOU are really scckin: intor-
nation, VIC don't approve of intcrfcr-
ing with public speakers. for it is very
annoying to them. and makes them
lose the thread of their argument
We nope. chat every person VIII
conduct hmSclvcs property on the
day of the speaking Let it be ,aid
it we can gct an "rlcrlv v set of
speakers: Union county can furnish
an orderly audience.

The London Daily Graphic, in COM
menting upon a paragraph which APP
peared in this column some time ago
concerning the pay of literary workers,
smiles at the idea of $1,000 year being
regarded as small income. l never
said that it was small income. What
1 did say was that it was small in pro-
portion to the demands upon it. 1t
would be good pay for a bachelor, but
not for gentleman Of family.
The Graphic closes its remarks by
saying: 1--WE know of scores of literary
workers in London who, in the historic
phrase Of the cabman, wish that they
had half the complaint of the new
paupers Of New York" From the
Graphic's point of view, $1,000 year
is a good deal Of money, for the Graphic
is London paper, and $1,000 a year in
London is equal to $4,000 in New York.
A family man with $4,000 a year in this
city cannot afford to live in a house, as
1 have said before; in London he could
afford very good house.
l know Of one man of letters in Lon
don, for example, who has house that
1 would be proud to live in, and all he
pays is ESQ a year. This may not in
clude rates and taxes-I hope for the
sake Of the landlord that It does not
but even with those expenses added the
rent would be pretty low. Where in
New York could he get house or even
a fiat for such priee?-Critic.

The completion and occupancy Of the
elegant building in Rome for Methodist
headquarters in Italy was an event of
great significance. 1t has been open less
than year, yet has made the name of
our church known far and wide, and its
appearance gives assurance that the
Methodists have come TO the Eternal
City to stay. What changes since De
cember, 1869. In that month the Vati-
can council assembled under the lead.
ership Of Pope Plus TX to promulgate
the dogma of papal infallibility. The
decree was voted and read July IS,
1870, in the midst of one of the most
terrific thunderstorms ever known in
the city. The next day Napoleon III de-
clared war against Prussia, and the
French troops, which had upheld the
temporal power of the pope. were with
drawn. Sept 90 Victor Emmanuel en-
tered Rome, and the states of the church
were annexed TO the kingdom of Italy.
Previously no Bible could be sold in the
city, and Protestant worship could not
be conducted. With the Italian army
the Bible colporter entered the city, and
freedom Of worship has since been en-
joyed. May the evangelizing influences
Of Methodism help 10 reclaim Italy to
God.

Do Foxes Enjoy the HuntY

P. Fl. Bryson raises question in The
American Field which is sure to bring
out considerable discussion among fox
hunters. He wants to know if foxes en-
JOY being run by dogs. He believes that
they do.
eff you think the fox does not enjoy
the run, you have only to look at fresh
fox as it passes. His eyes are dilated
with pleasure-no fear there-and
brush vibrating defiantly in the face of
its pursuers, in full command of his
mental faculties, and using brain as
well as heels"
This same fox exercises cunning and
craft to escape instead Of dropping into
hole when it would be safe from the
dogs fangs. Many fox has lost its life
rather than escape into hole, seeming
almost to regard the earth escape as dis
graceful, to be resorted to in the direst
stress only.
Bryson tells of vixen which, with
her whelps, ran long way and then
the youngsters, being tired, went into
hole while she continued the race for
hours after, escaping into the Same hole
with her young in the end.

1t is difficult to sympathize with the
habit Of early morning reading in bed.
IL is, however, quite excusable for a
man to remain in bed to breakfast, if he
wants to look through the most un-
wieldy Of his folio volumes, for, as ev-
cry wise mans son knows, there is no
place so convenient rs the "land of
counterpane" for spreading out bulky
book upon, nor any vantage ground so
good as that of the bolster activities
from which to look down upon the broad
expanses of its pages. Such an unwieldy
volume rs q folio can only be satisfac-
tOrily wrestled with III this way. Also
this plan saves that perilous strain on
the binding of heavy book which takes
place when it is balanced on the cramped
knees of chair seated man; it prevents,
too, the sudden, but certain, nip in the
back which is sure to seize the student
sooner or later as he leans over the IL
brary table in search of facts among the
tall pages of folio volume. Humili-
ating, too, the attitude Of a student who

Lesson For the Week Beginning July no

A. M.--Topic, Group and Char
acteristics of the Twelve.

SCRIPTURE READISG.-Math. x, Ia; Mark
Ill. 1919; Luke vi, l2-l4; Acts 1, u.
The word apostle means one who il
sent with message. 1t was used
among the Jews for one who carried
letters from the rulers 10 the different
parts Of the country. Jesus chose IL
men to receive His teaching and then
to carry the message to men everywhere.
On two occasions He appointed 20 TO go
on special mission TO the villages of
Gallilee. He sent them out in couples.
But the number Of the apostles was the
same Us the tribes Of Israel These were
to be specially witnesses of His resur-
rection, and in this respect would have
no successors. They seem to have been
usually grouped in twos, according TO
Matthews list. They were Simon Peter
(Cephas, Bar-jona) and Andrew, his
brother; James (the elder) and John,
his brother; Philip and Nathaniel Bar
tholomew), Thomas (Didymus) and
Matthew (Levi), James (the son of AL
pheus) and Jude (Lebbeus, Judas,
Thaddeus), Simon Zelotes (the Canaan
ite) and Judas Iscariot.
A familiar group is that of Peter,
James and John. These seem to have
had the confidence Of Jesus more thor
oughly than the others and became
leaders in the church after Pentecost
prominently in all probability because
Of their special talents for such service.

my duty to the stock of human pleasure

Never mind the truth" would be my
motto. Perhaps there is some mistake
somewhere. Or suppose. also per i'm
possible, that one discovered check
forged by Burns. One would destroy it
and say nothing about it. A biographer
Is not a detective-he is not presiding
at the day of judgment. These ideas
will be considered immoral. Many
French authors try (quite in vain) to
prove that Moliere married the daughter
Of his mistress This kind of spirit
seems to be not uncommon at present
among biographers, class which Mr..
Carlyle thought used to be SO "mealy
mouthed."
Poor Highland Mary is harried in her
modest resting place, washed by the
western wave" One thing we do know
very well about her-namely, that
Burns wanted nothing to be known. She
had lived and he had loved her There
he manifestly desired that information
should cease, and Lockhart has actually
been blamed for leaving it there OF all
the duties of biographer one can re-
gard none more stringent than respect
to the secrets Of his subject. If he can,
he should burn and obliterate; if he
cannot, he should forget. Yet if letter
OF Burns to Highland Mary, clearing
up all that he desired to remain con-
cealed Off anything is left could be
found, the devotees of Burns, as a rule,
would make haste to publish the epistle.
