THE ACADEMY EXERCISES.
The Program of Commencement Week
at Port Byron.

AT HOrt byron.
Port Byron, June 14.-This is COM
mencement week at the Port Byron
academy. In accordance with the
program for the week, Sunday even
ing Rev. r. l.. Breed. of Moline. gave
a very clear and instructive bacca-
laureate sermon. He emphasized
that the young men and women grad
uating from our schools of all grades
should realize that the field in our
whole country never called for earn
est workers more clearly than today:
that the work lay along the line of
the people-to bring them more and
more to the front; just in accord with
the noble doctrine of the true democ-
racy, from Jefferson down. Then
Monday evening gave us a rare treat
from Rev. G. l.. Cady, of Gene
SEQ, on, "A Study in Crimes. -
He delineated the Astounding evils,
and pictured the weakness, in SO
many cases, of the courts of
justice in securing prompt conviction
and immediate punishment of the
daring guilty. Speaking of the re-
mainder of these evils, he showed that
among the children and young people
was the hope. Let the bible, as the
text book, have free course in every
school, and its teachings be fearlesslv
and clearly presented by every teach
er and preacher.
Today occurred the student and al.
lumi picnic and the alumni reception.
Tomorrow the trustees hold their
meeting, and in the evening will oc.

The Hooking and Ohio Valley Ed
itorial Association meets in Colum
bus next Thursday to arrange among
other things, the summer excursion.
These excursions have been of much
concern to very large 'staff" Oh the
SENTINEL. We have ssouted" them
over railroads to all the important
places of interest and located them
at best hotels free, because of the Sen.
tinel staff. Some Of our best beloved
are dead; some of our most served
have deserted. Still the Old Guard
and new rescruits are with us for the
next excursion. Several places are
under consideration for the summer
trip. Mexico, Canada, Cuba and Ha-
vana. The Sentinel is in favor of 60
ing to Ireland.
With the barbarians of Hawai- we
have no relations; with the Srainard
or Cuban no kin; Mexico and Canada
have no feeling in common. We pre-
fer going to Ireland, and on the spot
where the gibbet of Emmet stood,
start newspaper, his monument.
The Commodore will have good

The dumb Dutchman" is the
smart talk Of the loafer on the sreet
corner when Shively is spoken of.
The "dumb Dutch" are men who
work, are men who are honest, are
men who make an honest living by
honest work. The Cude. who parts
his hair as girl, the dead beat who
rolls his hair on bis forehead like a
Durham, laugh at the'Dumb Dutch
The town Of Logan has much more
regard for an old citizen like Shivelv
who works and minds his own busi-
ness, than it has for the cigarette
smoking dude, who dead beats off
and never works at all.
There are a good many people in Lo-
gan. regardless of politics, who think
that the old dumb Dutchmap" for
once should have a chance.

assurance of strength and harmony in

been selected. Every candidate Is
stronger in personal popularity than

one of pleasure, because every man

same time give set back, to some
