But few men deny the fact that he
who lives 10 a community should labor
for the prosperity OF that community
Here duty and self,interest combine;
for in laboring for the upbullding OF
the community, each one Is laborIng
for his own benefit. However, we
eliminate the consideration Of personal
benefit and plant ourselves on the
broad basis Of duty-it IS every mans
duty t, labor for the upbullding OF the
community OF which he is a member.
Times were when there were mobiles,
princes, hereditary rulers and officials,
who toiled not, neither did they spin;
whose sole idea of life was that the
community should minister to their
comfort, pleasure and aggrandizement,
while they ministered to nothing, but
led a life OF elegant leisure and selfish
ness. These days have passed away
Society has come to be regarded as a
unit, devolving its duties on all alike.
Drones in the hive are held In disre-
pute, aud he who does not labor for
the general good is. recognized as an
excressence, a deformity in the body
polite; and while the rest of the COM
munity do not kill him, as the bees dis
pose of their drones, yet the general
feeling is that the community would be
decidedly the better should providence
kindly take the useless thing away.
1t is because of this universally ac-
cepted proposition, which is generally
lived up to, that all men are r, quired
to bear their proportionate part of pub
lie expenses. When school HOUSES are
to be built and teachers paid and appa.
rAtus bought, he who has no children
is not excepted from the general bur-
den. The man who never leaves the
town. pays for the building of county
bridges as well as does he who passes
over them every day. But it is use.
less to enumerate. In all public enter

honest at heart, because he would &C
cept something for nothing, because he
takes but never gives. Some such men
are found in almost every community,
and the general comment on them is
that they are clogs to the wheels Of
progress, that the community would be
better off without them than with
them; and when they die or move
away, there is a general feeling of graf.
iication. So deep is the principle
planted in the mind, that he who lives
in a community should labor for the
good of the community.

IILLAHH UPHIlLDS SILVER.
Senator TlImsas Vigorous Talk is Effective

Demolished Carlisle's Five Propositions
-siIver's Depreciation Due to
Legislation.

LEXINGTON, KY, april 11.-Senator
TiIlman's speech in the free silver presi-
DENTAL campaign has drawn to Licking
ton to-day the leading silver men of
central Kentucky.
Hy took drive about the city early
in the day with local silver leaders and
had a rush of callers later on.
Senator Tillman was introduced in
the Auditorium to an audience Of fully
a thousand people, ats o'clock, by Rev.
Boiling. He had spoken but few
minutes until he had completely capt.
waited the audience, which he held well
for two hours.
He denounced the Cleveland and
Carlisle financial policy and then went
after the press in the most vigorous
language, saying, among other things,
that the press of the country had been
subsidized by the money powers Of the
country.
Hetook up Carlisle's five propositions
as enunoiated in his speech at memphis
last year, and argued that they were all
wrong. He claimed that the only reason
Why silver was inferior to gold as a
standard of value was because it was
made inferior by the laws Of congress.
His tellingpoints were wildly cheered
by the audience, which was thoroughly
sym pathetic with his views.
His speech this afternoon has put new
life and hope into the free silver cause.
Tillman predicted that the nextnational
democratic convention would be con
trolled by the free silver wing of the
democratic party.

The Indian Schools.

4Hb LMulan SCHOOLS
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate
took up the question of sectarian In
dian schools yesterday, but did not
complete it. The debate was very tenn
perate and no reference was made to
organization which has been active in
opposition to sectarian schools.
At the opening of the senate session
Mr.. Call dem, of Florida, stated that
inquiries had been made of him by
Eugene V, Debs and other labor lead
ers as to whether the senate judiciary
committee was taking any action on
the restriction of the power of federal
judges, Mr.. Hoar rep.), of Massa-
chusetts, chairman of the judiciary
committee, said all the members be-
lieved some comprehensive legislation
in this line was needed, and several
plans were under consideration, but
not fully matured. He expected a
definite plan would be presented to the
senate later on.
There was something of a breeze
when Mr.. Call presented a joint resolu-
ton concerning the Imprisonment Of
Mrs Maybrick, and requesting that the
president intervene with the British
authorities toward securing her re-
lease. The resolution was referred to
the judiciary committee.
The house spent the entire day in
general debate on the filled cheese
bill.
The house committee on apprOpria-
tons reported the bill for Notifications
and other works of defense for their
armament and for heavy ordnance for
trial and service for the fiscal year
which begins next July. The bill re-
cOmmends a total expenditure of SILL
$4,000.
Representative Meiklejohn reported
from the committee on Indian affairs q
bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors to Indians holding land by al
lotments. Its passage is recommended
by the secretary of the interior, who
says it is made necessary by the deoi.
sion Of Judge Ballinger, Of the United
States district court for Oregon, which
he says ia effect, permits the sale Of Ii
quor to Indian allottees without limita-
ton.

and killed his daughter Mollie, and
shot her sweetheart, A. c. Worrells,

down on box of dynamite, which he
exploded and blew himself to atoms.
Nothing but his legs and feet were

A DEYIEISH TALE.
Convict H. H. Holmes Confesses to Twenty
Seven Murders.

Convict II. H. Holmes COnfesses to Twenty
Seven Murders.
PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE multi
murderer, H. H. Holmes, now under
sentence of death for the murder
Of Benjamin Peitzel, has made a con
fession. In prefaoing the confession,
which covers in full nearly three news
paper pages, written in Holmes own
handwriting and detailing with a
minuteness that is at times revolving,
the arch-mutilator and author of q
murders. as he admits himself to be,
states with something like pathos that
he does so simply that he may obtain
money enough to educate his boy.
Holmes writes of his blood-curdling
atrocities with an abandon that simply
apalls one. Not one grain Of remorse
seems TO enter into the construction of
that document and never for a moment,
except in two isolated cases-one where
he refers touobingly to the memory of
Minnie Williams and another time
when he pathetioally speaks of an out
rage perpetrated on his boy-does the
redeeming element, pity, figure in the
case. Regret is never for moment
expressed, and he comes out boldly and
without conjunction on his very open
ing with the statement: u was born
with the very devil in me-"

10 MISSIONARIES WANTED.
It Is said the Turkish Government WIN
Not Keep ITS Promise.

- - s7e-A-- AAr II Lfh4stt Government VI
Not Keep Hts Promise.
CoNsTANTNoPLE, april I3.-Although
the Turkish government has officially
announced that the missionaries in
Asia Minor will not be expelled so long
as they 'eompIy with the laws" it is
certain that Rev. George KNAPP, of the
missionaries at Bitlis, has been ordered
to be expelled in spite Of the under
standing in his case arrived at between
United States Minister Terrell and the
Turkish government. The missionaries
place little faith in the assurance of
the porte that it is not intended to ex,
pei them from Asia Minor. Some pre-
text for their expulsion. they believe.
will bo found whenever the porte
deemed it necessary. Such a charge as
conspiring against the government is
easily made and can be established to
the satisfaction of a Turkish official
looking for an opportunity to condemn
a Christian. The future of the mission
aries depends upon Russia and it is
upon the Russian government and not
the Turkish government that influence
should be brought to bear in order to
protect the lives and property Of the
missionaries.

WASHINGTON, April 13-The Turkish
legation has received from the sublime
porte, under yesterdays date, the fol-
lowing cablegram:
1t has beenfalsely stated that the missionaries
woald be expelled. The imperial government
has not taken and does not intend to take any
general measure of expulsion of missionaries and
Catholic priests, Those among them who at
tend peacefully to their business are not and
will not be disturbed. But surely it cannot be
the same for those who, b. their attitude try to
disturb the order and tranquility of the country
and place themselves in open hostility to the law
and regulations in force in the empire. The i'm
penal government, watchrul of the maintenance
of public security, has the duty to send them
away from its territory, and in so doing, it
avails itself of a right which in all justice no.
body can contest.

FLAMING WAR.

Africa May Be OverFun by European
Armies in the Next six Months.
LONDON, April 1.-THE reassembling
Of parliament has been the feature of
the week for London and the daily
questions regarding foreign affairs that
are shoWered upon the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, and the under secretary
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
Mr.. George N. Curzon, have served to
draw attention again to their unsettled
state in ali directions. Well informed
persons think that Africa is going to
to blaze with war from Carlo to the
Cape Of Good Hope, and there is said
to be a strong possibility of Great
Britain having to conquer the Trans
vaal, task which alone would require
at least 10000. men.
In the meantime Grea Britain's
European enemies are on the qui-vive.
The attitude of Russia is especially
disquieting. Even a newspaper. like
the st, James Gazette expresses dis
gust with the supiness of the govern
ment which allows Russia to pursue
her advance unchecked in the direction
of Port Arthur, and says:
"Fo-day Russia has got all and more
than she dreamed of in Crimean days.
France is her maid of all work, Ger
many her friend. Turkey is her vassal
and half the powers of the world are
dancing to Russia's time.'
