EDITOR RECORD: As an election
has been ordered for the 25th OF
August, to determine the will OF the
people Of Sharp county as to the
removal of the county seat from lts
present location, st Evening Shade,
to what the petitioners are pleased
to call "the town of Center,' and as
your columns will doubtless be at
the disposal of the advocates OF both
sides, I take the liberty of present
ing, for the careful consideration OF
the tax pay yers ofthe county wheth-
er petitioners or not, q few facts
which, according to my view, ought
to be deliberately weighed BY each
voter before be determines TO cast
his vote for removal.


In the first place, it viii be ad-
mitted by all that, although Eve
ming Shade is some distance from
the geographical center of the coun-
tv, It is much nearer and more con
venient to q very large majority OF
the population and tax payers than
the proposed location at Center, and
hence ig the center of pcp1IatIon'
There are about FIVE hundred voters
north of Strawberry who would be
nearer the county seat at Center,
while there are about one thousand
others south of Strawberry who are
much nearer and more convenient
to Evening Shade. -.


In the second place, the puoilc
buildings Of the county are already
erected and paid fer, at
Evening Shade. The court house,
now about eight years old, is IS com
modioug as the population Of the
county demands, and is as conTen'
iently arranged and as respectable in
appearance as majority Of the
court houses in the state, and as
much money as the election will cost
iudlcioaaly expended in buying a a
suitable iron cage for the JAZZ VIII
make that building perfectly saie'
Another important reason why the
removal should not be made at this
time, is the enormous expense which
would necessarily have to be incur

The Democratic amendment to the resolu-
tions of Senator Edmunds relative to the
constitutional amendments is a very distinct
enunciation of the doctrine of State rights.
and ought to command the deliberate and
careful examination of tho people at large as
we'll as of both houses of Congress. Through
misrepresentation and abuse, the public has
come to regard any reference to the rights
of the States as absolute heresy, but little
removed from treason. Yet the States have
rights which are distinct from those enjoyed
by Congress, and which ought to be guarded
as jealously as any other rights committed to
the people.


The tendency of legislation for the past
fifteen years has been to subordinate the
States to the central government. It has
been the evident purpose of our national
legislature to build up strong central gov
ernment at Washington, to which all else
shall be subordinated. The constitution Of
the United States has wisely provided that
certain rights shall be reserved to the States
but the centralizing power has undertaken
to make any assertion of these rights odious
by laying to that the declaration of the right
of secession and notification. How narrow
this construction of the constitution is will
be perceived by every honest and candid man

who gives the subject moments deliberate

The resolutions of the Democratic caucus
referred to are timely. They revive an in
terest in the reserved rights of the States
which could, probably, be revived in no other
way. They assert first the validity
OF the constitutional amendments
adopted; next the fact that the
government of the United States and of the
several States are distinct, and that whatever
rights are not specifically delegated to Con-
gress are reserved to the States; and further,
that the constitution of the United States
has not conferred the right of suffrage upon
any one, and the United States have no
These propositions are SO patiently proper
and constitutional that no argument is neces-
sary to establish their soundness. That
States have rights, entirely distinct from
those conferred upon the general govern
ment, does not admit of question. The ex-
pediency of asserting those rights was held
in allegiance during the war, and since that
period the effort has been made to make of
the central government the only center of
power. The time has arrived when the
States can safely re assert their right 10 the
management of their own internal affairs.
The country is happily distracted by no seri-
GUS sectional differences that will lead to an
imadversions as to the purpose of the reso-
lutions in question. The matter can be
debated thoroughly and all questions in dis
pute settled without danger of kindling the
fires of sectional strife.


The present is as good time as any to
settle these mooted questions rights Of
the States as distinguished from those of the
general government. It can be settled with
out unnecessary delay, and without creating
the animosities that might have followed a
previous introduction of the question It is
certainly important that the line of demarka-
ton between the vested rights of the States
and of the federal government should be
clearly defined, for uncertainty will give rise
to misunderstanding that may in the future
prove embarrassing.

IT is gratifying to be informed that the
report of combination between the North
ern Pacific aud the Texas Pacific railroad
managers in order to procure needed legisla-
ton is unfounded. The application of the
Northern Pacific is so reasonable that even
the most factious cannot object to it. By
combining with any other enterprise, how
ever, the legislation asked for wonld have the
appearance of job, and no one would be
to blame for opposing it. The Northern

of Jews and Gentiles AgS1


teries of the gospel the bishop said ~
the stewards of Gods word were to-day
similarly circumstanced. To-day the
mysteries of the gospel, which were to
the Jews a stumbling block and to the
Greeks foolishness, having come down
unchanged through all the ages, offend
alike men who have creeds ard men who
have none, because of the absolute and
exclusive supremacy of the truth which
they teach. The opposition of to day is
founded in the sect spirit, which is the
child of intellectual conceit. This
spirjt,n said the bishop, "has made
schism 90 fsmiliar a presence that 1t has
practically dropped from the catalogue
of the possible Sins of the nineteenth
century. When we see how the body OF
Christ is torn and divided in this genera
tion by differences of opinion, how
earnestly should we not pray to the
Head of the church to send thousand
Pauls to preach the mysteries OF the
gospel. 1t is impossible for any man to
preach these mysteries and not preach
against the sect tendencies OF the day
Much of our christianity has fallen into
fraements-no, not fragments, for those
might be gathered, repaired and put
together again-but into ruins. If the
gospel has any right to a hearing it must
be dogmstic OF nothing. It must offer
truth to the human mind and heart by
authority, or it is nothing. When reason
can follow it it will be in accord with
reason, but when it branches off reason
must yield to the guidance of faith,
which is the substance o; things hoped
for. Now, partly on the ground of
reason and partly on the ground of faith,
the gospel demsnds belief in s person.
This is the great question OF the day.
But lust this is an offense to what is
called the liberal and advanced thought
of the times It is the fashion of the
hour to sneer at dogmas and disparage
all truths uttered in the form of 'Credo
Il believe And with this fashion as
an essential goes the general disregard of
moral and spiritual truths. The age is
becoming materialistic, and the ten
dency is to revive the old forms of pagan
pleasure-worship, and to plunge the world
back into that dark gulf of sensuality
( from which it was rescued eighteen
hundred years ago by the cross. oh,
let us cling to the catholic fullness OF
the love of God and TO Gods truth in
all its dogmatic preciseness. We as
ministers are compassed about with sore
temptations. We are tempted to please
rather than offend men; tempted to feat
with the current; tempted to preach
morality rather than religion. Already

A lady who lives on Olive street relates
the following: A few days ago there fell
in front of her window from a tree a
"chippy," or ground bird, such as chatter
about the parks and streets. She picked
il up, carried it in the house, fed it frOEl
her own mouth and at night placed it in
the cage with her own canary. The Ca
nary at once bestowed upon the new
conner all the attention of a mother, and
nestled beside the little stranger during
the night In the morning the lady
placed the chippy in the window SO that
it might have the privilege of regaining
its freedom. 1t plumed its tiny wings
and went away. The canary mOurned
during the day as if he had lost his
mate. In the evening the chippy
came back and perched upon
the window. The sash was raised, and it
flew in and nestled upon the cage. The
canary at once struck up his livelIest notes,
and seemed gratified. This was repeated
two or three days, the chlppy going each
morning and returning in the evening.
One day it went away and did not come
back. The canary dropped, and the next
day fell dead from his perch in the sun
shine that played over the gilded cage in
the window. That night the chippy re
turned, and during the eevening it mourned
over its dead companion. In the morning
it clung to the cage until it was turned out

Most men over drive. They attempt too
much, and in SO doing distract or hamper
the horse. Now and then you find a horse
with such a vicious gait that his speed is
got from him by the most artificial pro-
cesscs, but such horses are fortunately rare,
and hence the style of management re-
quired cannot become general. The true
way is to let the horse drive himself-the
driver doing little but directing him, and
giving him that confidence which horse
alone gets in himself when he feels that u
guide and friend is back of him.


The most vicious and inexcusable style
Of driving is that which so many drivers
adopt, VIZ: wrapping the lines around
either hand, and pulling the horse back
ward with all their might and main, so
that the horse, in point of fact, pulls the
weight back to him with his mouth, and
not with his breast and shoulders. This
they do under the impression that such a
dead pull is needed to STEADY" the horse.
This method of driving We regard Us radi
cally and superlatively wrong, 10 would
tax the ingenuity of hundred fools to in
vent a worse one. The fact is, with rare
exceptions, there should never be any pull
put upon the horse at all.


A steady pressure is allowable, probably
advisable, but anything beyond this has
no justification Ia nature or reason for M
ture suggests the utmost possible freedom
of action of head, body ard limbs, in order
that the animal may attain the highes
rate of speed and reason certainly forbid:
the supposition that by the bits, and no
the breast collar the horse is to draw the
weight attached To it. In speeding oul
horses we very seldom grasp the lines witt
both hands when the road is straight ant
free from distractions The lines are rare
ly steadily taut, but held in easy pliancy
and u. ed chiefly to ship the bit in the ami
mails mouth, and by this motion commu
nicate courage and confidence to him
We fnd that by this method our horse
break less and go much faster than whel
driven by men who put the old-fashione'
steady pull upon them.-IF From the Colder
