The Times Are out of Joint.

Bishop William e. McLaren deliY-
cred an address in Chicago recently at
lacking the condition of society, bust
ness and politics in the city. He said
there was a superfiuity of religion and
need for more mortality. The coun-
Gil had to be purchased in all cases.
He said:
"The condition of society, of bust.
ness, and politics, shows a fearful lack
of morality. The condition is such as
to startle the christian and patriot, and
/. the question is: What is to be done to
stem the tidal wave of Generalization
which is upon us? The church is not
doing its full duty as the teacher OF the
world, and it is because the state has
usurped the function Of teacher. The
state has eliminated religion from itG
teaching, and has gone a step further
and eliminated morality also. A gener-
alton has grown up without adequate
moral training. Within the last week /
have read not less than three state
ments declaring that the trouble with
the country is that the education given
in the public schools is purely secular.
Twenty years ago said the govern
ment, with all it's skill, could not make
a Eeasury note which an intellectual
criminal could not counterfeit Crime
is most dangerous in educated men. II
the law Of God is u1taught IA the
schools, God is untaught. If there is no
God, there is no obedience to Gods
law. Selfshness, covetousness and the
idolatry of the dollar rule. Corruption
becomes enthroned in places of legisIa-
ton. In the present state of affairs a
corporation cannot secure legislation,
however needful and proper, without
buying its way through the council.
Within a short time men of promin-
ence have said in convention that they
do not believe anything short of revolu-
ton will amend the present state Of
AFFAIRS. The remedy is the teaching OF
morality to children, and it is the duty
OF all christians to see that the young
nave their moral, as we'll as intellect
ual, nature trained"

His FelIow.Clerks Say It Served Him
Right.
There is a clerk in the war depart
ment at Washington with keen sense
of humor, who, for the purpose of
Identification, / will call Daniel Web
ster seruggs. says a writer in the
Washington Star. He is what people
call "a funny man." He spends about
half the time he should devote to mis-
official duties thinking up conundrums,
puns, practical jokes and other dis
agreeable things. When his fellow
clerks find mucilage in their ink-bot-
ties and crooked pins in their chairs
they always bless Scruggs. but he has
been warned by the chief of his divi-
sion so many times that he is less
humorous in the Office nowadays than
he used to be. But at home, with his
wife and six children, there is no one
to restrain him, and the neighbors are
good-natured. Mrs. Seruggs is a pa
tient, long-suffering woman, and says
she is $50 used to it" that ''she doesn't
mind him any more" She is nursing
Scruggs just now with a devotion that
shows her genuine affection for the
man who has been perpetual tor
ment during seventeen years of mar
ried life. For Scruggs is victim Of
his own humor. About a week ago
Scruggs conceived the idea Of shaving
off his abundant whiskers, and one
evening after Office hours, without
saying a word about his intention, left
them on the floor of a barber shop.
When he got home he thought he
would have some fun with the chill
dren. So he turned his coat and hat
inside out, let himself into the hall
way of mis- residence with
latch key, and, launching up
his shoulders like a tough, made
some queer noises. The children rush
ed out of the sitting room, followed by
their dog, which is about as big as
-four barrel, and stopped with alarm
as they saw what they supposed to be
tramp. But the dog was not at all
frightened. He sprung at the strang-
er with an eloquent growl, and in an
instant he and Scruggs were rolling
over and over on the hall floor. The
children screamed, and their mother
came hurrying from the kitchen.
Seruggs shouted and ceaxed and sweFa,
but the dog didn't see the joke, and
didn't recognize his voice, and Mrs.
Scruggs and the oldest boy were a long
time separating the combatants.
They sent for the doctor, who eau
terized the wounds and bound them
up carefully. He says that Scruggs
had a narrow escape and will not be
able to return to his duties for fort
night. The clerks in the office say that
it was good enough for him.

"a to bo &C she very gravest nature ana

inc the fundamental principles OF tbe

H. A. Huston, state chemist of In
diana, in report says: The estimated
sales of commercial fertilizers in In
diana during 1896 amounted to $4,000
tons. This is an apparent decrease OF
5000 tons from the estimated sales in
1896. The decrease Is, believe, only
apparent, for It now seems probable
that the estimate for 1895 was too
high, owing to a considerable number
OF tags being carried over which were
really used in 1895, although they ap-
pear in the 1895 sales 1t is probable
that an estimate of $4,000 tons in 1896
and $4,000 tons in 1896 would more
nearly express the real facts. In the
$4,000 tons for which tags were
issued were 1O,7OO tons of bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products: I'll 500 tons OF Com
pIete" fertilizer, that is, acidu.
lated goods containing phosphoric acid,
nitrogen and potash; $500 tons OF am
nominated phosphates, 100 tons Of acid
phosphate and potash, and 4,4OO tons
of plain acid phosphate. OF the bone
and non-acidulated packing house
products 400 tons had received an ad.
dition OF potash. Comparing the sales
IT. each group with the sales of the
previous year, we find that there has
been an increase Of 1900 tons in sales
of complete" fertilizer an increase
of 1000 tons in the sales Of plain acid
phosphate, a decrease of 500 tons in the
sales Of ammoniated phosphate, a de-
crease of 1,i00 tons of acid phosphate
and potash, and decrease of 1900
tons in the sales Of bone and calculated
packing house products.

AmerIoan Federa.Ion OF Nruslolnn..

The American Federation of Musi-
clans has issued a circular letter to
non-af1liated bodies of musicians,
from which we take the following ex-
tract which is self-explanatory:
'It is our most urgent wish that
your body demand of all musicians and
musicians societies that they must
procure charters from the American
Federation Of Musicians, or they will
not be recognized by nor their dele
gates be permitted to occupy seats at
sessions of your body. If there be dele
gates seated at this present time from
any society Of musicians we demand
the enforcement of the law to govern
same as asserted in the foregoing reso-
luton, compelling them to apply for
and secure a charter under the Amari-
can Federation OF Musicians or vacata
their seats. It is better to have NO
musical society represented at your
sessions than to have delegates from
any which refuses to comply with the
direct commands of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. Where there are two
or more societies in one vicinity thew
should be compelled to amaIgamate
and secure charter. or recognition de-
MED. Wherever there is a local of the
American Federation Of Musicians Won
are demanded to recognize and support
Il and 1t alone. The consequences Of
Z refusal to recognize a local of the
American Federation of Musicians
would be matter of such Importance

The United States government at
tempted to make temporary arrange
ment with Great Britain that joint
measures be taken for the better pro-
lection of the seal herds against in
discriminate slaughter, but the attempt
was unsuccessful, partly perhaps be-
cause the British commission which
investigated the subject last year does
not believe the extinction of the herds
to be so imminent as the American
commission thinks it to be. Both gov
ernments have reappointed the COM
missioners who investigated the SUBJ
ject last year to make another investi-
cation this season, and the United
States has assigned three revenue cut
ters to patrol duty to prevent depre-
dations on the herds. Under the ex-
listing agreement the way will be open
to new arrangements next year.

Tho Canning Indnntrr.

A few years since there was not a
canning factory west of the Allegheny
mountains, but now they dot the prai-
ries and plantations of the Mississip-
pi basin and are increasing year by
year at a rapid rate. There has been a
steady increase in the demand for
canned goods. Their consumption was
enormously increased by their low
eost-sO low, indeed, at present that
Shere is no profit in the industry,
which shares the depression common

Statistics prepared by the New York
state excise commissioner show q
considerable reduction in the number
Of saloons in the state as the result of
the operations of the Raines law. That
law has now been in operation about
thirteen months, and in that time the
number of saloons has been decreased
by 7,437. When the law went into
force on April 80, 1896, there were 49,
437 licenses in force in the state. On
November 1, 1896, there were 26,593 Ii
cnses in force, and 1t is expected that
there will be issued about $4,000 lie
eensos during the present year. The
total receipts under the law from May
to October 81, 1896, were $1l ,O3S, 1922
and after deducting rebates and ex-
penses of collection the receipts
amounted to $1O,556, 1872. Under the
old law the net revenue for twelve
months to all towns and cities ia the
state was $2,919,5sS.

The Importance which often attaches
TO single word has been emphasized
IN curious way in New Jersey, The
legislature, at its last session, took
favorable action on proposed amend
ment to the constitution prohibiting
all kinds Of gambling. In some way
the word prohibited" was altered to
provided in the amendment as acted
on, and the error is so serious that the
legislature has been called together in
special session to. rectify it.
