LOCAL SOCIETIES TO Be AIDED
Movement Started by q Municipal Art

municipal art so far as possible among
the cities and towns Of the whole of

Tribune. 1t will not only help to organ
TIE local municipal art societies wher-
ever possible, but whenever an invita-
ton is extended to it 1t will give prac-
teal suggestions that will be of value
in the Identification of town or city.
Announcement regarding this move
ment started by the society was made
recently by Louis II. Cornish of New
York, chairman of the lecture commit
tee.
1--WE will try to inform people outside
Of New York about improvements we
are trying to make here" Mr.. Cornish
said. "Any town or city that would
like to have us send man to deliver 4
lecture on municipal art, which will be
illustrated with handsomely colored
stereopticon slides on a par with those
of the board of education lectures. will
be accommodated. We will aid the To-
cal women's village Improvement So
cieties and show them how to make a
model village and when invited to do
so will send expert men to different
towns, even to the far west, to adj

'There are places Of historic interest
in many little towns which are not APP

Never in the history OF the country
has the farmer been in such easy
circumstances as he is today With
wheat bringing a dollar and corn
eighty cents, what farmer could be
dissatisfied with his condition. In fact.
every thing he has to sell is bringing
the highest cash price. He has been
enabled to reduce his indebtedness to
a considerable extent, and to repair
his buildings and increase the fertility
of his soil. and all this under a repub-
lican administration. Why he should
vote to change the condition of affairs
as they now exist is a question hard
to answer. His taxes are lower than
thy ever We're before, and still the
farmer Gays that the democratic party
also stands for tax reform when he
knows that his party did everything
in the world that could be done to
defeat every tax reform measure pro-
posed by the republican party, and
their work almost defeated Mr.. Daw.
son for governor. Still the farmers
talk democracy and tariff for revenue
only, knowing that it proved an abso-
Lutte failure under Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ADMINISTRATION bringing on the greatest
panic this country has ever known.
History will not lie in recording mod
ern events, and every body knows
that the times of 1894 were the most
dreadful years we ever experienced.
Let the farmers Of this country study
the question diligently and they viii
be convinced that republican doc
trines are the best for this country.

Higher Salaries Needed.

Mr.. James G. Shepherd, of Wyoming
conference, which is not in the state
for which it is named, but in Pennsyl-
vania and New York states, proposed
that the committee on temporal econ
omy give serious attention to means
for raising the salaries of the pastors.
There is nothing so important as
this he said, 1--WE cannot deny that
we are not giving our pastors the sup
port we owe them There is dearth
of young men engaged in the work of
Christ. They are knocking at our
doors, seeking our pulpits. but they do
not come because other interests de-
mand the best young men and pay for
their talents. We want them for
small salaries and we leave them in
their old age without support. The
problem of looking after the superan-
nuated preachers would be met If we
amply provide for those in active SER
vice. We should commend heartily the
part Of the bishops address recon-
mend ng better salaries Not a man
in our conference gets less than 5000,
and in the United Presbyterian church
none get less than 81 ,00G."
The motion was adopted.

man will undertake TO dem
his superiority to any candidate men
toned in either party. His noT1ina-
ton is already assured, as enough
delegates have already been instruct
ed to vote for him, or have either
declared that they favored his nomi-
nation. HIS long experience, coupled
with his ability, make him the most
formidable candidate in the field,
therefore, the nomination of such a
man cannot help but strengthen the
ticket to a considerable extent.

The people Of Martinsburg should
not lose sight Of the fact that there
is a city campaign now being waged.
In the fight for delegates to the state
convention, the voters are apt TO for
get that we have quite o fight on
hands in the city, and II republicans
get too active in state affairs the
democrats will keep on working their
old game OF politics just the same,
while other matters are claiming the
attention OF republican leaders. 1t
is AL right to work for delegates to
the convention, but at the same time
our city affairs should not be neg
lected as II is important to elect a
full ticket this time. Every one
knows how our city politics have been
run for the last few years, and it is
high time that other hands should
take hold of the situation before the
democratic party continues to in
crease the peoples taxes.
