to see the one who would rot agree to
the following proposition, W, that the

the people who now get mail at Long

delivery is what the people want and
what will eventually be done. The peo.
pie at Long Hill, who now have four
mails come In and three 60 out daily, will
be poorly served, with one mail In and out,
and that "a hours old, as compared with
now.
Would also say We would take q con-

THE that the Sacred Congregation

CHURCH prohibiting the participation
of women in the liturgical services Of the
church. This is q return to the ca, IL
customs when the men did the singing.
1t is safe to say that the exclusion Of
women from the musical position che
occupies will not meet with much favor
in America, the land of freedom for v
men as we'll as men. And why should
not woman praise God with her voice
as we'll as man in the liturgtcal services
of the church? She is q better singer
and as q rule is more devout. Let the
ladies praise God in His temple.

oIney Will Vote for Bryan.

Mr.. Olney, who was Secretary OF
State under Cleveland, and generally
credited as being the ablest man in
the Cleveland cabinet, has written a
long letter giving his reasons for favor
ing the election of Mr.. Bryan this
year. Among other things he says
that the election of Mckinley would
mean: l, A "syndicated presidency, :"
a combination of capital placed in con-
troll of the government; 2, Approval
of such legislation as the Dingley tar
if act, which taxes all consumers for
the benefit Of accumulated wealth; 3,
Sustaining the policy of greed and
continental land-grabbing jointly with
other nations; a, Approval of the bru-
tai policy in the Philippines; 8, 1t
would mean approval of the attempt
to obtain by conquest the Philippines,
10000 miles away from our coasts,
while setting up Cuba, the original
cause of the war, as an independent
nation, controlling the entrance to
the Gulf of Mexico and a constant
menace to our commercial interests
on the ocean.-Manchester Democrat.

@FIvery day some wise man arises to
show people with small purses how to
live upon limited
amounts. But what
economics is really needed.
observes the Chicago Tribune, is
philosopher who can teach one how
to be economical in graceful way,
The man who wears his economical
heart upon his sleeve, who is constant
ly reminding one not of how we'll he
can do with little but of how much
he could accomplish with more, is one
who makes poverty ugly. To live upon
mush and yet to be pining for mush-
rooms. to wear blue jeans and to be
signing for black broadcloth is to show
the seamy side of economy. The wise
economist will show how much more
meritorious is mush than mushrooms
and how much superior in the matter
of durability is jeans than broadcloth.
OF course, when poverty pinches suf-
ferers must scream, but so long as this
dreaded enemy only ventures to nudge
the victim he may be treated with dig
nifed disdain, or, better still, with
wholesome hospitality.

When asked why, on Labor Day, the
wage-earners Of Chicago manifested so
much affection for Mr.. Bryan, labor
leader replied: "We are opposed to
Imperialism, great standing army,
government by injunction, oriental
labor competition, the black list and
the trusts. So is Mr.. Bryan. Then
what more natural than that we
should love the man who will stand
before the nation and give voice to
our desires and oiir gtieyancesp"

Mr.. Mckinley says in his letter,
among other instructions issued for
government of the Philippines, "that
neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude shall exist, except as punish
ment for crime," yet in treaty with
the sultan of Sulu, who acknowledges
the sovereignty Of the United States,
because Of promise of a monthly
salary for himself and head chiefs,
slavery and polygamy were both recog-
nized. Slaves, however, were given
the privilege of buying their freedom,
when they earned enough money to
do so. But their time belongs to their
