two colored men, one of whom was
deacon in down town church.
He introduced the subject of a new

his companion, who had more world
ly inclinations, for a contribution
for that purpose. His reply was:
"What yo' want fence round dat

The Baltimore American. IN discuss
ing the reasons why tie Baltimore
banks have not had failure in over
sixty years, Gays that iJ has been be-
cause the directors ct every one of the
banks in that city has givea strict at
tention to his duties AS such.
Whether that is the sole reason or
not. it is very important and effective
one. 1t speaks very highly Of the prin-
cip.es which Hctuate the directors Of the
banks II that city, and points very
clearly to the remsdy, IN too many In
stances elsewhere, where banks heve
been brought to the brink Of ruin be-
cause the directors have wholly ne
elected their dut,ee.
The comptroller Of the currency. iu
his recent report TO congress. IN rela.
ton 10 Ger. .ain amendments which he
proposed to the national banking law
laid particular stress upon that neglect u
duty, by the directors Of such banks
and the prevalence Of it as one of the
causes Of so many failures Of that clasl
OF financial institutions. He showed
too, in the same connection, that there
was AZ almost universal disregard o.
these duties. by that class of officers
not only IN the national banking system
but 10 numerous banks incorporated
under state authority.
Now that the way has been pointed
out, there ought TO be DO hesitancy II

For a Teachers Home.

Before adjourning the Iowa state
teachers association did practical thing
toward raising a fund to establish q
home for aged and orn-out teachers in
that state. 1t voted to take a penny
collection in all the Iowa schools on q
certain day for such home. 1t is left
to the state superintendent Of public in
struction TO fix the date when the COL
lection shall be taken.
This is a unique method, but. under
the circumstances, it is almost certain
to be successful. There is scarcely q
parent iu the state who Is not able to
encourage his or her children IN such a
matter with few pennies, and, when
the vast number OF schools in that and
every other state is considered, it can.
not be seen how such plan can fail Of
realizing handsome sum in whatever
state it may be attempted.
There is no more worthy object any
where than that Of making provision in
old age for a class Of persons which rem
der as valuable seryices TO the putlic as
life long teachers in the public schools.
The success Of the Iowa experiment will
determine plans in other western states
that are under consideration.
The Holt County sentinel., 1897-02-12
Compulsory Naturalization.

The most important feature in the
new immigration Law, which has just
passed both houses, is the provision
which virtually compels naturalization
a. soon a. the period arrives for that
purpose, IN the case OF any immigrant.
Those who have given the subject the
greatest study and attention declare
that the naturalization provision will
affect more than million OF Canadian
people, who cross the line each year in
to the uaited States, to labor for half
Q year or 30. and then return home to give
place to other members OF the family
for another equal period.
While, Of course, 1t is good policy for
the United States to secure the natural.
ization OF every possible immigrant in
due time, IN order that each may share
the full responsibility that falls upon
every citizen, whether native born or
nsturslized, it is very questionable
whether anything is gained by enforced
naturalization. Every citizen who takes
the oath OF allegiance to the United
States, and renounces that due to his
native country or sovereign. should do
% willingly, cheerfully, loyalty, and
with the purpose OF casting in his lot
with his adopted country. 10 evil as well
as good report, in peace as we'll as war.
Any bali. hearted sllegiance aud loyalty
10 worse than none at all, and any legis-
latiou that tends merely to enforce an
unwilling allegiance, rs questionable at
any time.

alysis, male q temporary wreck Of the her.
cu!can frame, and in view of his advanced
age, his anxious friends believed that he was
not long for this world. The following is
his own account of his illness:
In the latter part of 1890, was taken
',own with O severe attack of typhoid fever,
which confined me to my bed for two months.
Two months is long time to be in bed, but
| was not to get up yet. for infammatory
rheumatism seized me, and 1t was worse than
the typhoid, for it was more painful. To
add to my trouble and make it more inter.
esting, the intlammatOry rheumatism was
followed by q stroke of paralysis, and l lost
almost totally the use of my legs and arms,
for could not walk q step and could not
feed myself 1t would seem that l had
reached the depths of misery, but such was
not the case, for my kidneys gave out, and
this seemed to be the last straw on the load
that was to crush me.
My friends all thought I would never re.
cover, and though the doctors came to see
me and prescribed, it was easy to see that
they were but trying to make my pathway
to the grave little more easy, without the
remotest hope of recovery, and 1 looked for
ward to death with happiness.
"While in this frame of mind, l was ad-
yised by a friend to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and began the use Of them, taking one
pill after each meal, and this / continued
for one week, and began to fancy perceived
improvement in my condition | then in
creased the dose to two after each meal, and
at the end of the second week there was no
doubt but what Pink Pills were making me
better, so / kept on using them according to
directions, and in three months was a well
man."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
clements necessary to give new life and rich.
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y, for 80 cents

Ham and Bacan.

While looking upon many things
American with the eye OF InsuIar pref
udice, the British heart warns when
our bacon and ham are mentioned. Por-
cine products from Belgium and Holland
no longer corner the appetite of our En-
glish cousins. Their taste has been
educated to just appreciation Of the
Yankee breakfast bacon, formerly re-
garded as Too rich, while the ham Of
free Columbia at length has displaced
it, rival from Westphalia. Last year
our ham exports aggregated l31 600. COO
pounds, valued at sl2,OOO,OO0. OF which
Great Britain took lo3 100000 pousds.
We also shipped 45O,OC0,OOO pounds Of
bacon. valued at sl9.OOO,OOO, and IS per
cent OF it went to the United Kingdom.
The same country hbsorbs the greater
part Of our oyster export, which annual
ly amounts to 5000, 900 in value. England
ate nearly all OF the 225,OOOOOO pourde
of fresh beef which we sent abroad last
year. These things may be taken as
strong arguments in favor Of ar5itra
tion.
The Holt County sentinel., 1897-02-12
Electrical Farming.

: With the numerous electrial appli-
ancee that are being added every day to
the already innumerable inventions in
that line it is quite evident that the
time is not far distant when the dynamo
will be as common piece OF machinery
on the farm as is the moving machine,
the reaper or the hayrake. 1t is said
that a German farmer in Wisconsin has
a man employed to look after the dya-
mo which lights the barn yard and
dwelling and which furnishes current
of low tension to WORK pumps a lathe,
grindstone, straw cutter. saws and a
threshing machine.
With such a rapid stride in electrical
farming it is not unlikely that within
few years We will see the plow, the now
ing machine, the self binders and the
harrow all gliding across the fields
either by storage battery or by means
of electric wires, after the fashion Of
check row corn planter. Each farmer
will become an electrician a,d skilled
mechanic and the "hired man" instead
of being laborer will become polished
gentleman Of education who will wear
good clothes and receive the more dis
tingnished title of ''superintendent.'
With such easy work in farming the
boys will not be ircl.ned to hunt for
"soft snap" as clerk in dry goods
store, or a position in a lawyers Office.
Electricity will yet revolulionze farming
and as 1t is already the roost indepen-
dent life it will also become the most
free from manual labor.
The Holt County sentinel., 1897-02-12

THE Macon Telegraph, which sup.
ported Bryan 10 the recent election,
speaks out 10 this fashion: at is be-
coming clear that the South has quit
hsr foolishness.' and that she is going to
hsve nothing more TO do with the Kan
sss- Nebraska system Of finance. When
Governor johnson was insugurated at
Montgomery he avoided in his address
any reference to the issue Of the CAM
paign, though he bad led the free sill
yer forcee; and from every quarter evil
dence accumulstes that the Southern
people did not vote for Bryan because
Of his principles, but because he was
the regular nominee Of the party. 1t is
also developing gradually that they will
not be caught in the free silver trap
again, and that, when the time shall
come for another expression Of opinion
at primaries, the Democratic party Of
the South will cut loose from all alliance
with the silver trust and will rally to
the standard Of the ancient faith"

AFTER January the city of Glasgow,

ATrER January 1 the city Of Glasgow,
Scotland, will levy no taxes on its
citizens because it will have sufficient
revenue from its public works. This
will furnish striking object lesson to
American citizens 1t is, in fact, along
the lines OF municipal ownership that
Great Britain is solving the municipal
problem, and apparently solving it with
entire success. The cry Of state social
ism has bsen raised against the plaL by
Q few untninking people; but there is
no point IN the objection. Municipalities
now furnish itheir::citizens with water,
and all civilized governments operate
the postal service. Why should it be
more sociallstic for q municipality to
manage Its transportation or furnish its
citizens with gas?
