Congregational sunday school Rally
Day.

The Sunday school of the Congrega-
tional church observed last Sunday as its
rally day anniversary. There was an I'M
usually large attendance, including good
number of visitors and members of the
home department, and all the class rooms
were filed. The folding doors beween the
rooms were thrown open, making one
large home gathering, and the decorations
of asparagus and hydrangeas made hand
some setting for the special exercises
which took the place of the regular review
lesson. The exercises opened with song
by the infant department in charge of the
junior superintendent, Mrs. Perry, which
was followed by selection by the church
male quartet. The entire school then par
ticipated in a special opening exercise,
consisting of music and responsive read

Thompson the pastor occupied about 10
minutes in urging cooperation of the par
ents wife the teachers and pupils in max
ing a success of the work, taking for his
theme "The Standard Round which to
Rally" After a solo by Fred Adams, rem
dered in his usual artistic way, the visitors
were dismissed and the school conducted
a short business session.

One OF the Earliest BrattIsbOro F

Rev. William j. Harris, D. D., who has
been officiating at St. Michael's church for
several Sundays, is a native of Brattleboro,
and says that The Phoenix is among his
earliest recollections. His great-grand-
father, William Harris, was the first set
tier, in 176S, west of this village, and his
farm included large part of what is now
the village of West Brattleboro. His grand
father, William Harris, lived ON a farm
two miles farther west. His father, Rev.
Rowell Harris, was a graduate of Middle
bury college and Andover Theological sem
mary, and was for many years principal of
the old academy at West BrattlebOro, where
DR.. Harris was born and reared, getting
his preparation for college there under his
fathers tuition, and graduating at Yale in
the somewhat famous class of SO along
with Chauncey NJ. Depew, Justices Brown
and Brewer of the United States supreme
court, Gen. Wager Swayne of New York
and a number of other notable men. He
is now living at Nashua, N. H. The burial
place of William Harris, the great-grand-
father, is among the graves in the rear of
the Stedman homestead in West Brattle-
boro. The father and grandfather were
buried in the West Brattleboro cemetery.

The chairman of the recent demo.
cratic state convention in the height OF
his eloquence described how the dem.
ocratic party goes forth this year with
the declaration of independence in one
hand and the constitution of the United
States in the other. This causes the
Nonpariel to remark that perhaps they,
not being very well acquainted with
the instrument, don't know the con
stitution is loaded, or perhaps they
wouldn't be brandishing it around so,
and points out that it guarantees re-
publican form of government to the
people of every state, not even except
ing any people on account Of race, color
or previous conditions of servitude al
though they may live in North Caro-,
lima.

A Pair of Great States.

One of them has 81 900 600, the other
45,0000 600 acres within its boundaries:
either the Mississippi or the Missouri
river flows through "a large part of one
or the other of them; one state con-
tains 10000 lakes-the finest of their
kind, and this lake region is a regular
park land, where the best of land and
timber are found; the other state has
wonderful yalley-the Red Riyer-that
is the greatest wheat producing valley
in the world. These states are Mime
sofa and North Dakota.
For general and mixed farming,
small fruits, etc, Minnesota cannot be
beat. For wheat, flax and other
grains, North Dakota is unsurpassed.
To the surprise of many, corn is easily
raised in either state. One county in
North Dakota raised more than 100000
bushels of corn, yet this is the great
wheat growing state of the Union.
The Indians have raised corn there for
hundred years.
Churches,newspapers, schools, and col
leges are many; railways run every
where. AS a general health resort or
specific for those suffering from lung
troubles and hay fever, the praries and
forests of Minnesota are noted. agent

Some Famous Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted at the republican COMPRESSION
al convention at Joplin, Mo-, July 2G
last. The Hon. John II. Flanagan
was their author, and it is said they
are characteristic of him. John IL.
Mosier of this city was present when
they were read and he says they created
a sensation. We believe it.
The committee on resolutions next
reported through its ch airman, Hon.
J. Fl. Flanagan, as follows;
The Republicans of this district in
convention assembled congratulate
themselves and the people upon the
changed conditions since '96.
To day We are busy, then we were
idle-today we are prosperous, then
we were not. Today both the mills
and the minis are engaged, then both
were idle. Today we are under a Re
publican administration, then we were
not.
We reafIirm our belief in the doc
trines, and our support of the policies
which since 1860 have, when inforced
spread peace and plenty over the land.
We believe in honest labor, and hon
est money with which to employ it.
We are against all trusts, particular
ly the one organized by our Democratic
legislature, and Democratic governor
in st. Louis, and we express the hope
that the charge that our Democratic
congressman from this district received
an "attorney fee" of $4,000 for his
opinion to the governor that the street
car trust law was constitutional, is not
true.
We emphasize our opposition to the
trusts of idleness which thrOttled the
country during the last Democratic
administration.
We favor the immediate construction
of the Nicaragan canal, and to that
end we pledge our congressman to
vote for it instead Of against it.
We agree with the position taken by
Elk Governor w. J. Stone in '9S that
we SHOULD expand, and we endorse
the expressive declaration of that Dem
ocratic governor in Texas "We have
done expanded"
We congratulate the people that the
Kansas City convention was held ut q
date before we had learned of the ont
RACES in China upon American citizens
otherwise while they were endorsing
every other enemy of our government
they might have endorsed the "BOx-
ers.'
The democratic party, having already
discovered modern George Washing
ton in the Philippines, we anxiously
await the discovery of one in China.
But we declare that so long rs n gun is
pointed at our flag or q boy in blue we
are on the side of the flag and the
boy.
We note with sadness the many
Democratic graves in which are buried
its many sacred issues, among which
are states rights, reputation, "robber
tariff and 16 to ! and we assure them
that after November we will, with
them, drop a tear upon the new-made
grave, at whose head stands slab,
marked, "Imperialism, and when this
slab is erected we recommend that it
be constructed of ice.
We endorse Mckinley and every act
of his during his term as president,
and we promise to him and the hero of
San Juan largely increased vote in
the Fifteenth district of Missouri.
We commend to the toilers and la
Dorers of this district Hon. Joseph
Flory, the next governor of Missouri.

The Shelby County Republican pre-
sents thoughtful editorial against the
adoption of the biennial election
amendment that will be submitted at
the coming election. 1t argues that
the annaul campaign is worth all it
costs in educating the people on poll
tics and the frequent elections are in
the interests of the government by the
people. We are glad to note that this
is not going to be a party question,
though We see some indicationlof demo
cratic leaders trying to line up their
party against the amendment. 1t is
not a party question. There are ex-
tremes on the subject of frequent cleo
tions. Can elections be too frequent
or too seldom. We believe that
once in two years would be frequent
enough. Many of the best states have
long since adopted this plan.
