ONE KIND WORD.
From the Washington Post.

Through all his long service as the
chief executive of the nation Mr.. Cleye-
land has held steadfastly and impertur-
badly to his convictions of right He has
yielded not the fraction of an inch in any
position he has assumed. His opinions
have never been the opinions of the last
one who talked to him. He has been
no weakling to be swayed and turned and
faced about by others. Without faltering
or hesitation, submitting to no pressure
from any source and accepting dictation
at no mans hands, he has done the thing
that commended itself to his sober judg-
ment and his prayerful conscience. Ac-
cording to his lights, he has upheld tae
credit of the nation; in the way that
seemed to him best, he has maintained its
dignity and honor; in perfect sincerity of
purpose and inspiration he has endeav-
true pathway of civilization and enlight-
ened humanity. He has presented the
spectacle of a courageous and determined
ruler, profoundly conscious of the great
responsibility resting upon him, and hon.
estly and bravely striving to discharge II
in good faith and overlooking measure
We believe that Mr., Cleveland retires
to private life with the respect the good
will, the confidence, and the gratitude OF
the masses of the American people with
out regard TO party feeling. We believe
that history, as made in the calmness or
unbiased and dispassionate retrospect, and
in the light of accomplished demonstra.
ton. will do Mr.. Cleveland perfect and
abiding justice.

ated in cemetery 1t seems that both
churches have been bound together in
fortune for sometime. Rev. ID. Jones
was pastor of the Sumner Avenue
church. He received call which he
accepted from the Taylor church, and
for "a time he preached there. Both
churches were pastorless and to solve
the problem of success or failure the
idea of one pastor to the both churches
was suggested. one attempt was made
to select a minister, but at one church
there was 10 members and at the other
there were II members assembled to
vote on the candidates. Last Sunday
night the Taylor church held another
meeting and Mr. Foster was selected.
The Sumner Avenue church met Thurs
day evening and agreed by vote with
it's sister church.
Rev. Thomas de Gruchy will organize
a prayer band" in his church, the
Jackson Street Baptist. Mr.. de Cru
chy has ideas OF his own on ministe-
rial and church work. He has demon
strated this ever since he became q
Scranton minister He believes in the
lowly method to reach the lowly In
fact, Mr. De Gruchy's plan savors of
the Salvation army, only there is just
enough reserve about it to exclude any
boisterouS element. In regard to the
prayer band" and it's mission, Mr.
De Gruchy is quoted as saying that, to
his ears, there is nothing SO inspiring
in a church service than to hear q
band of musical instruments pouring
forth Rock of Ages" or some other ia

Star and Kansan.
Hungry Republican politicians at
Washington arc working with
might and main TO break down the
civil service law, nOtw outstanding
the repeated declarations in their
platforms in its favor.
1t is all right to criticise the
methods of others who are working,
as you are, for the emancipation Of
the toilers, but when it comes to
questioning their motives and i'm
putting bad faith to them because
they won't travel in your rut, you
are making a great mistake.
When we learn to define words
correctly, we have made long step
towards the solution of the pressing
problems of the day. For instance,
when the dictionary shall be issued
that will define profits as "steal
ings," we shall have passe one
mile post in the social evolution
Look out for another attempt in
congress this winter to change the
postal laws, So as to increase the
postage to be paid by newspapers
and other regular publications. The
ultimate aim of the men who are
making this movement is to turn the
postoflice department over to pri-
vatc monopoly, who, as Congress
man Loud, chairman Of the house
committee, said could make profit
of millions of dollars year out OF
it. That a big business should be
run TO accommodate the public, or
for any other purpose on earth ex'
cept to make money for rich men, is
something those fellows seem to
consider violations of the natural
order.

THE FIRST COLONIAL CONGRESS.

To the courts of Europe, engaged at the
moment in meaningless intrigucs. either for
eign or domestic, and all alike grown quite
dim now, this colonial congress was not even
obscure, 1t WAS not visible at all. Yet,
thoughtfully regarded, It deserved consid-

steadily on advancing and conquering, al
though its work is still incomplete even
among the nations OF Western civilization.
Yet, no one III Europe beeded il at the mo-
ment, and they failed TO see that IL meant
not simply a colonial quarrel, not merely .he
coming of a new nation, but the rising OF the
people TO take their share in the govern
ments OF the earth. IL was. in fact, the first
step in the great Democratic movement
which has made history ever since. The
great columns were even then beginning 10

were ever drawing nearer and their roll was
