A SERMON ON SPEECH.


1t is greatly to be regretted there is
so often SO much violent language used
in political campaigns. You, of course,
know of the great success achieved by
the late and sincerely-lamented Presi-
dent Mckinley. 1t is likely he never
used an epithet in all his life. He was
profound, and he was pacific: he was
convincing and cogent, but never
ceustic. You NAL also recollect the fine
fable about the wind, the sun and the
man with the cloak. The sun and the
wind dispute as to their power and
to decide it agreed to try their strength
upon the traveller. The wind made the
first trial, blowing great guns and tear
ing the ground up. The traveller was
much disturbed, but he buckled his
cloak more firmly in and defeated the
object of the blasts. Then the sun tried
his hand, or heat. He blazed down with
all his might and the traveller soon re-
moved his coat, and the sun won the
contest, not by violence but by gentle
means. When it seems to you just to
employ vigorous speech recall that
fable Of the sun and wind aud, if you
lose thereby, known you will find your
reward In heaven.-From The Olio in
the Youngstown Vindioator.

Undertaking insurance companies
are the very latest. They have invaded
Ohio and may be expected in Canton
in the near future. The companies
install regulation undertaking shops
aud then seek customers. who are
willing to pay 15 cents month for
the privilege of being decently buried.
All persons under sixty are eligible
and, when both parents are SO insured
their children under ten years of age
are buried free of charge. An ordi-
nary funeral costs 800 and the COM
pany agrees to spend this amount upon
a deceased subscriber. 1t is a great
comfort to many persons to know that
they may expect 500 funeral. Ma
turally these odd insurance companies
are well patronized and promise to be-
come permanent institutions.

College Education and Business.

A prosperous business man sends his
son to college and finds place for
him in his counting room when the son
graduates and the road to success Is
open to such a one. But In the case
of the graduate whose father has no
place to offer him and who has no cap
ital to embark in trade there are serious
difficulties. When he applies for en-
ployment he generally finds as his rival
the boy who was never educated beyond
the grammar school, who went into the
counting room at the age Of IL or 15
years at few dollars a week. This
man has been learning the business
while the college man is at his books
and when the latter has graduated
the latter finds that the boy of his age
has completed his apprenticeship and
is in the possession Of good position.
The college man who Is over 81 years
of age is not ordinarily willing to be-
gin with the duties and wages of the
12-year-old lad and this is often the
only place open to him.-Baltimore

Columbus Gossip


n OLUMBUS, o., July 9. : Recently
~ State Labor Commissioner M. d
Ratchford received letter stating
that the American Bridge Co. was en-
ploying alien labor at Marietta in VOL
alton of the federal laws. rar. Ratch.
ford placed the letters in the hands oi
the United States authorities who sent
deputies to Marietta to investigate the
matter. To the surprise of the deputies
the person who reported the alleged
violation declined to give them any in
formation whatever. Their visit was
not without results, however. They
learned the company had engaged eight
Canadians, by Misrepresentation, tc
work on a bridge at Marietta. When
the men arrived they found they were
to take the places of strikers. Two ol
them made afIidavits that they had
been hired The others returned home
The two remained to bring suit against
the company for false pretenses, but
the matter was adjusted and both are
now working for the company. The
authorities have their affidavits which
will be sufficient they claim to convict
The penalty is fine of $1,000 for each
offence.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN.

Reports from the New Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily better. There win

A few rural newspapers are editorials
ly endorsing the theory of some scien-
tist or other that heaven is situated in
the sun. This hypothesis may be cor
rect ,andifi is the general public would
like to know where the Creator is go'
ing to find hotter place to lorats
hades. The difficulty that confronts
science in making these observations
is the same difficulty that confronts the
benighted savage. Beyond a certain
pale neither can go. The astronomer,
staring at the stars through power
full glass, and the Dahomey, gazing up
on the heavens from his jungle retreat,
are equally distant from solution of
the great secret-the destiny of man
kind. Whether there will be future
kind. Whether that life be lived upon
the sun, or moon, or upon some for Off
planet, neither the Dahomey, the as
tronomer, nor all the theologians in
the world have the slightest positive
knowledge. The future is sealed
book. The dead may know, but the
dead do not come back to tell. Spec.
ulation is vain, theorizing is vain, the
osophizing is vain. 1t is well to obey
the Biblical injunction to take no
thought of tomorrow. There arc
many people who are so intent upon the
promised joys OF the next world, that
they miss the beauties of this one. 1t
is safe plan to so live this life that
If it be all it will have been worth the
living, and If the end be not yet, we
shall he logical candidates for the joys
that are to come.

Flowers That Harm the Sick.

Botanists and others who have made
life study Of flowers have recently
discovered that the perfume of bios
sons is often increased by srcwiis
them under colored glass. They STATE
also That some plants are fragrant only
at night and others only In the hot
sunshine: that the seasons affect the
odors and that some perfumes power
fully affect the human organization
sometimes giving rise to serious nerv-
Gus troubles. Flowers of delicate per.
fume quiet the nerves OF invalids, 1t is
asserted, but the violet, lily CT the val
ley and carnations are really harmful
to the sick.-New York Press.

Magazines Going Into Vaudeville.

So many OF our most respected maya
zines are going into vaudeville that
there is q general hopelessness among
old-fashioned magazine readers over
the future of their favorite periodical
literature. What is to become of ths
purely literary writers, the essayists.
the travellers, the wits and philoso-
pliers is not to be fnthomed Shors
stories sell more magazines and the
object of printing magazines is to sell
them. And such stories! They re-
volve around the incident of torn
dress "a lost rowboat, sticking car
window, and for the most part record
the "fap-f,ap" conversation of younis
persons whose only idea Is wish to
be married. But let all who can put
pencil to paper and understand their
grammar make hay while the sun
shines. For now is the harvest. The
short story Is good seller. Every
body Is going into short stories, al
they go into new kinds OF raspberries.

Legislators on Snow Shoes.

Fifty years ago when the Minnesota
territorial legislature assembled in st.
Paul on Jan. 5, 1853, some of the men,
bers from the extreme northern coun-
ties were sadly disappointed. They
had hoped to walk into the new capi-
tol, select their seats and enjoy the
pleasures incident to the first occu-
pancy Of that structure. Their homes
were so far removed from the capital
and the means of communication dur
ing the winter months SO poor as to
practically isolate them, hence they had
not been able to keep in touch with
the situation and did not know that
the capitol was still unfinished Three

The girl whose maiden mama was
Mckinley, and who Is going on the
stage at an alleged salary OF $1,000 a
week, asserts that she expects to earn
the money by her voice and no. by her
name. But the great American pub
lie. which never before knew she had o
voice, will not go to hear tiff in
deed II goes at all-but because she
was ''the favorite niece" Of a dead
and much beloved President. The man
who is to pay her salary is also not
likely TO give up $1,000 week to 9
new and untried and unknown voice
without other reasons. II Is TO bt
sincerely hoped that the effort to trade
upon the name of Mckinley, as this
theatrical venture unquestionably is

Rude Customs inspectors,

ing every article, scattering and up
heaving the fragile, perishable apparel
precisely as if it was a delight to do 1t
mischief. For Americans who are
honest and wouldn't cheat the govern
ment out of dollar this procedure
is abominable, but in the eye Of the
customs officer all men and women are
smugglers until they are proved 9TH

The Chinese Treaties.

Much depends upon the treaty which
is being negotiated between the Unit
ed States and China. A somewhat
similar treaty has been concluded with
China and Great Britain of which the
ratifications are about to be exchanged
But some of its terms are indefinitely
expressed so that England is looking
more to our treaty than to her own,
on account of the more explicit terms
OF the instrument which we are maxi
ing. Japan is also regarding it with
much interest, realizing that the sue
cess Of the American negotiations will
go far to regaining for her and the
world the beneficent results which she
sought to attain from the treaty of
Shimonoseki, and of which she and the
world were deprived by European in
reference. 1t has been intimated that
the same influences which were ar
rayed against Japan at that time are
now seeking to defeat America. How
ever that may be, the ends sought by
the pending treaty are matters of the
highest interest not only to Ameri.
ca, but also to all commercial ma
lons doing business with China.-Chir

Law ana Lynchers.
The Rev. DR.. Dean Richmond Bab-
bit, of Brooklyn. has made thorough
Investigation of the Wilmington lynch
ing horror on the ground, and his re-
port confirms the Impression that tho
atrocity could easily have been pre-
vented. The mob was not composed
OF respectable citizens 1t was made
up mostly Of roughs. including several
ex-convicts. It had its way simply
because the nerveless defenders of the
workhouse did not make a single de-
termined effort to resist 1t. To sum up
the lessons of this miserable affair
what is needed to stop lynching
atrocities Is to bring the laws of the
states into harmony with public SEN
timent and then vigorously and
promptly enforce them. At present
In most of the states the crime for
which negroes are lynched is not a cap
ital offense. Make 1t one; provide for
summary trial and swift execution Of
the guilty, and then shoot down with
tout mercy any mob that tries to usurp
