alogue and crystallized by the great
Teacher into the two commandments
love to God and our duty to manor,
as commonly. understood, 1.-The father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
men"-other matters of less Importance,
the liberty of differing, are, it is to be
feared, very much abused, and this to
the detriment of the cause which all
profess to indorse or promote. This
business of higher criticism seems to
have two branches, one as to the read
ing of the authorized and revised trans
lations of the Bible, and the other as
to how far or how near the teachings
of the Bible are connected with secular
affairs. DR.. Briggs and DR.. Heron have
sounded key9otes on these lines and
gained an ephemeral kind of popularity
which will likely be as evanescent as
Bradlaughisun in England or Ingersoll-
ism IN the United States. and yet-and
here is the strangest thing these
little stars of perhaps the seventh mag
nitude in he!1tterary armament are be-
ing surrounded by a following of lesser
llghts that only lead to bewilder In
maze of ideasora wilderness of words
where all comprehension wanders. lost.
1t is not to be wondered at that such
as rule, in religious matters, men like
to get something for even performing
their duty. There is another thought on
this line, and that is that the greatest
capable for the task they undertake. A
man to be a critic is supposed to be
qualified to give an opinion on the sub
Ject that he is dealing with, and when
dealing with the translations Of the
Bible. either authorized or revised, to
find errors or substitutes for the tests
we have. he, ought to be able to
explain the different languages through
which our translations have come to US.
But what do we find when we look for
such authority? Why, that our fore
most scholars on these lines are very
careful not to venture on ground that
has not been trodden and mapped out
by such teachers as the Master himself,
or his immediate followers. If Christ
had no time to look into and expose the
errors Of Moses and the prophets, but
instead of finding errors He commanded
His disciples to search the Scriptures''-
not for errors or mistakes-and If st.
Paul and the other apostles accepted
what was written as being profitable,
and If among ourselves such minds as
Archdeacon Farrar, Archbishop Ireland,
Bishop Gilbert. DR.. Parker. of London.
DR.. Talmage9 of this country, and
scores of such Sdiyines, who are supposed
to be scholars IN Greek, Latin, Hebrew
and Sanscrit, are satisfied to preach the
Gospel from such texts as THE statutes
of the Lord are right" the little minds
that feel called upon to tell us that they
are not quite right; why it is not to be
wondered at that the people have no
use for such preaching and stay away
from the churches.

Philadelphia Record.
Terence said that when you speak
in your own praise you add nothing to
your reputation" This Is only relatively
true When there Is pressing occasion
for a man to proclaim his real virtues
or abilities silence is the part Of folly:
and so the merchant who refrains from
publicly declaring the extent and scope
Of his business and the good quality and
desirabiity Of his wares does himself an
injury. BY the use Of the advertising
columns of a daily newspaper the trades
man not only adds to his business and
his reputation. but renders great service
to the purchasing public.

Our ISLANDS AND CONSTITUTIONAL
LAW,

1t Is semi-officially announced that
Senators Platt. of Connecticut. and
Foraker are to be given the chairman
ships of the two iEsular committees on
Cuba and Porto Rico respectively. their
special qualifications for the places being
that they are regarded as being strong
constitutional lawyers. 1t isstoe often
the case that the se-called1 constitutional
lawyer is chiefly valuable for his ability
to dodge the constitution. Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts who is mentioned as
chairman of the committee on the Phil
ippines is not exploited as a constitutional
lawyer, his special qualifications being
described as youth, ability and conserva-
tism. Is the constitution to be still
further ignored in dealing with the Phil
ipp:ne islands?

"Oh. pretty bird" the maiden said,
''It makes me weep and cry
To see thee thus imprisoned
When thou hast wings to fly"
The birdie wept and shook his head
To find such sympathy.
''Thy brilliancy will soon be gone,
Or eaten by the cat.
Oh, cruel men, the maid went on,

Just the kind Of an institution that

marketable produce can be sold for
cash, viii be opened this week in
Centralia. Ben Hansen, grocer in the
POmainVille block on Cranberry street
Tor some time back, is now d consider
able wholesale merchant at the same
place. Monday he disposed of his
entire stock Of goods to local dealers,
the invoice being divided between
COrr!VeaU 4 Garrison, Johnson & Hill
To-. and Iimm & Brierc as purchasers.
The stock has been moved to the diff
ferCnt stores mentioned and rs soon rs
his store building is emDtied Mr..
Hansen will start into business after
the fashion Of the commission houses
in the large cities.
It is his purpose TO buy produce,
grain, fruits. vegetables and anything
that the farmer has to offer, cash
being paid therefor instead Of trade
as is the custom among the merchants.
For inStanCe-a beekeeper brings into
town more honey than he can dispose
OF to the regular dealers; instead Of
carrying back home portion Of that
load, the surplus can be sold to Mr..
Hansen for foreign shipment, Or if the
commodity brought to town is Slow on
the market, it will be handled for you
Oh commission at the best rates Ob~
tainable. A cold storage house is
contemplated in this connection and
will be erected if business warrants.
Mr.. Hansen is well adapted from
previous experience to take care Of
this line OF trade and we wish him
success in the venture. It is Il step
that should certainly be appreciated
by our farmers.

J. P. Scott of Dubuque got off the

and strOlled into the Hotel
Lyon with announcement to Landlord
Cr0tteau that he was going to make
bis headquarters there for the summer.
Nj. Scott was identified with the lum-
Der interest and the Clark & Scott
saWmill at Rudolph for many years.
About one year ago his company closed
their business affairs in Wood county
on account Of lack OF timber and J. ?.
sought residence in Iowa. But like
many other good people who have
pulled up stakes in Wood county, Mr.
Scott is back with his first love and
his old friends are all pleased to greet
him. Perhaps, in due time, the TEN

mentS sufficient to make il one better
permanent residence on the old
camp grounds.

viii Be Here June 24th.

The results of Dr. McEwee's treat
ment in several cases OF chronic
diseases has been a revelation to many
who do not keep posted as to the
strides Of up-to-date medicine. The
Chicago papers have recently printed
tables showing that the average age
at death in that city has doubled dur
ing the past fifteen years. Dr.. Nc
Elwee states that this is largely due
to the Skillful medical and surgical at
tentiOn that the sick and Injured
receive. The poorest person there can
get as skilled attendance as the mill
lions ire. By degrees these better and
more modern methods reach the
country district. No doubt the reason
of DR.. MCElwee'S great success is his
having always procured the very latest
remedies that German and French
chemists have shown were certain
cures in many of the chronic diseases
that the doctor treats.

OUT OF DEBT.
Evidence Of What the People Can Do in
Public Service,

Public Service,
1t will be three years on the first
day Of July next since the Wood
County Tel: Co. began to give tele-
phone service to its patrons. It started
out with 70 phones in the plant.
The Indebtedness at that time. on
account Of construction. was s., ,0O0, is
now all paid off, and there is a cash
surplus in the treasury. The number
Of telephones in the exchange IS now
220; the value Of the plant is about
$4,000. and as each subscriber can
reach nearly three times aS many per-
sons by his telephone as he could when
the plant WAS fist built, the service is
to him about three times us valuable.
The StOCkhOlder has, during = years
past, received dividend Of Is per
cent on his investment, before that y
per cent, and the total cost for tGI6-
phone service, including the cost Of
stock. is less to each stakeholder than
he would have had to pay for rent
alone to the Bell Co.
The earnings Of the company at the
present rate of tolls is largely in eX-
cess Of its immediate wants, and
something must be done either to
lessen the income by reducing the ra-
Ito or to utilize it in extending the
service. 1t would not be just to de-
clare larger dividends to stockholders,
and the present residence rate of 50
cents per month to stockholders is
certainly low enough. A reduction of
the business rate to S1.50 per month
for stockholders would still leave
good monthly surplus that, in our
Judgment, ought to be utilized in eX-
tending the service.
1t was 4 part Of the original design
Of the promoters Of this company to
connect with the county seat every
city and village in the county. A
large part Of this work still remains to
be done, and it should only be a ques
tiOn as TO which part shall be done
first. All OF the long lines should be
metallic circuits, and some OF them at
least should be toll lines; yet it is to
hoped that the time Will come when
all the lines in the county will be free.
Most OF them on a toll basis would
now pay good dividend on the Capi-
tai invested, and this being true,
there is no good reason why their con-
structiOn should be delayed.
1t has often been suggested that it
might be we'll to establish a sinking
fund for future construction and
emergencies, but we can see no good
reason why the people should tax
themselves now to place money idly
in bank to meet an emergency that
they Will be abundantly able to meet
without sinking fund when the
emergency comes. AS this Telephone
Company is of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people, its affairs and
conditions should be openly and fre
Quently discussed, and and the wish
and convenience Of the majority
should be aScertained, and it is
for this reason that we call atten-
ton to its present affairs and con-
ditiOnS.
