Take Of the Brakes.

The remarks delivered by Chairman
Hodge at the farmers meeting last Monday
were so we'll put that we have heard them
highly spoken Of by a number Of gentle
men who are competent to judge. Mr..
Hodge is deeply i'll earnest IN the new
movement and We hope his fellow farmers
will give him the encouragement his zeal
deserves.
Doctor Woo..s made good speech, too,
and it was exceedingly unfortunate that the
time WAS so short he could not give his
views in iull. We were quite anxious that
the doctor should have good, square
chance to tell the people all be knows on
the matters under discussion at this meet
Ing, so that they would fully understand
him and his motives. We hope at the next
meeting Of the Farmers PROTECTIVE Associa-
ton the time will not be limited when such
good and wholesome speeches are being
delivered Ills true, we did not iud ont
exactly what the doctor had to offer as
remedy for the woes OF the farmers but 1t
was not his fault, because politics was for
bidden to come into the discussion and the
chairman's watch was fast ticking to the
place where the hands on the dial reached
the place that indicated the point that
time was out" We believe that in this
great and beautiful country, the home CT
the free and the land Of the brave, free
speech goes largely towards giving US the
freedom We often boast OF, therefore when
the people in public meeting assemble and
a gentleman rises to give his views, he
should not be hampered by the ticking of
the chairman's Waterbury. Ii is not right
nor is il fair II the speaker does not Wall
der Of into strange subjects, he should be
allowed 10 make his speech without inter
ruptioD, until he finishes, even if it takes
until night and we hope at the next meet
ing there will be no such foolisLuess as q
'.tlr.e limit" on account Of men living
loug distances ard are anxious to get
home" Let there be a ful! and free dis
cussion, and let no man be choked OF as
long as his eloqaence holds out to burn and
his tongue and mind are connected.

SEXTON RHODES PLUMBER.
Rev. Charles strOna's Stereopticon
Found in Pawn shop.

William C. Rhodes, recently janitor at
st. Johns Church, who stole large num-
bers of books from the church and from
Rev. Charles II. Strong's library, was
in Police Court yesterday charged with
larceny and was turned over to the City
Court. He will be tried before Judge Nor
wood Friday.
Another search at Rhodes house by the
detectives resulted in finding twenty-five
pawn tickets for books and other arti-
cles. He even pawned the bell used by
the Sunday school superintendent and
other articles on which anything could
be realized. II Is the belief of the police
that even greater thefts than the ones now
to light will be brought out.
There does not seem to be strong In
clination to prosecute, as is the case in
all instances where a church is the loser.
The evidence was conclusive against the
accused, however, though he did not deny
having stolen the things attributed to
him Mr.. Strong's stereopticon has been
located in a pawn shop. but is badly dam
aged.
In justice to Henry Harvey. the present
sexton of st. Johns, 1t should baMstated
that he is in no wise connected with
Rhodes thefts
