THE TIMES,
Trenton, (ia.
THURSPAV, JI'ML 30, 188 S.
A meeting has been liel<l‘in New
Orleans in regard to the propriety of
extendiag the time ot the Exposition
lluongb next ’winter, or suspend till
tl.cn and’reoper. We think such a
measure very probable and best.
Dr. Talntage’s sermons in our last
Roller Rink Craze was
interesting and excellent, lint when
any healthy sport or pleasure becomes
a "craze,” "Ilotv-sball it bo kept its
innocent harmless"limit6?” is a prob
lent lot our stateamon and moral scien
ists. Ilis suggestions are good, and it
Bbould so bo restricted or stopped.
It is amusing to] read some articles
on Prohibition, The^amUsing point
is, that they contain such wise asser
tions; and they are not confined to one
Bide of lliejqueslion. But this is a
free country, ami we arejat liberty to
advance as many sophistrical ideas as
we desire. It is a free'.country, and
we cannot suppress the truth by civil
authority.
A‘Petition haR been sentpfrom New
Orleans to President Cleveland reqest
ing him to pardon -Jefferson Davis.
It was sent without bis request. The
act of pardoning Mr. Davis would be
regarded by the petitioners as an act
of clemency toward him and thejSonth
Nothing was said to Mr Davis about
the petition, and, no doubt, he will
treat it with contempt, and could nav
cr accept it, as he never commited any
crime that would require it.
Ktatements'of "faith cure” 'still oc
casionally occur through tha papers.
We h ave no reason to question the
statements, but, in fact, believe them
true. But that' those cures aro al
h vaje, if ever, cured by divine agency,
f is a different question. Divine faith
was not given us to heal the ills of
life occasioned by our misconduct and
imprudence. Heaven may permit
miricles to be worked by an agency
not of Hiiaven's own. Effects may be
procured to which it is evident that
no natural law can ever bo assigned,
but must be regarded as caused by a
super natural agency. It is ours to
watch and distinguish when this agen
cy is divine and when from the evil
one.
Local option is conquering county
alter comity in the South.- The good
work should go on. The,chief trouble
with temperance legislation is, there is
not a public sentiment strong 1 enough
and persistent enough to sustain it,but
local option places'the cause iu prop
er position. It the public sentiment
is healthy, prohibition will be sustain
ed, not otherwise. The enemy must
he beaten in detail.
War between England and Russia
acems,inevitable. Another battle is
rcpoitcd to have been (ought between
Hnssia and the Afghanis. Diplomacy
lias not yot epased between the two
powers. Russia seems determined to
eeize Herat, and English troops and
provisions are being pushed forward
to tbe Afghani frontier. The natives
are apparantly in patriotic sympathy
with England, Turkey no doubt is
no inclined, but neutrality is now her
her present policy.
It was our pleasure to son a large
number of wheat fields last Sunday
ami we are glad to report them iu a
promising condition. A few weeks a
go these same fields were thought not
to have on them one-forth of a stand,
hut now it turns out that they have
quite a go- i stand We are inclined
to believe that the stand and prospect
for a whest crop in this section is a out
as good as usual. — Catoosa C urier.

Quite a pathetic scene oceured .in tbe
United States Court in Tenh, the nth
er day. A young girl was brought
before.fudge Key charged with the of
fence of aiding moonshiners in dispos
ing of distilled spirts. She was about
eighteen years old and from the tnoun
taniims distaicts. She was of a recog
nized beauty and noble appearance ,
and when ■•the appeared before the bar,
the charge being read to her, she made
some excuses for tb.3 offence, which
did not have the desired effect on tbe
court, and, without looking up, Judge
Key replied tfint it was a common
way of breaking the law, and be
thought it necessary to tine her SIOO
and one month’s imprisonment. She
immediat!v burst into tears. They
had tbe happy effect on tbe Judge,
who looked at tbe anguish of the
young girl and saw how much she
was suffering, and commuted tbe
penalty to s‘2s which was paid by
two young men from her district.
oil a Elook
While fishing in Battle Creek last
Tuesday wo bad two or three books
"set out” about 100 yards from where
we were fishiing, and at intervals
these hooks were examined, and a
wild duck was noticed to frequent the
place. On goiug to the hooks at one
time, we noticed considerable agitation
in the water near the poles, and on
comining closer, a duck was swimming
around and around, and making fran
tic efforts to release itself from where
wo thought was an entanglement with
our lines. We laid hold ot of tbe
pole and brought the duck flopping to
the shore and (ond to our supprise,
that it had swolled the minnow, hook,
and even the sinkor. The line on
which this biped was caught was at
least six feet under water, and to have
caught it in this way is rather out ot
tbe ordinary things. This is not a
fish story, but a duck story. —Valley

An account in tbe Nashville Union
of an extensive revenue raid into the
mountain fastnesses of Summer Coun
ty in which over ten thousands gallons
of "beer” and five wildcat distilleries
were destroyed, closes with the state
ment:
"One remarkable feature of the raid
as that it is the first one evet made by
tho direction of a Democratic Presi
dent, and will KErve to dispel the.belief
that; aiuler tbe new Administration
tho revenue offenders would be allowed
to go unpunished.”
The mountain people despite their
aversion to tbe legalized processes of
engaging in whiskey making,are a shn
pie, straitforward class, and fell quite
naturally into the ‘error which tbe
Union ascribes to thorn. Whiskey and
Deinocnacy have so often worked to
gether for mutual advantage that the
straightforward logic of tbe mountain
eers led them to think their free style
of making whiskey unvexed by reve
nue impositions, would not be regard
ed critically by Democratic officials.
In this, however tho mountaineers for
get that the Domoctatic party has
flopped in one great position which it
had steadily maintained for twenty
five years—it uo longer is "agin tho
Government”—it is tlie Goverf went.
Or, at least, will become tbe Go#Vn
ment as soon as President Cleveland
and bis Cadi not find time to attend to
the thousands of applications which
are being industriously filed.

'JL'he people have certainly leayi
ed that the Doomocratie party is not
“agin tbe government” They have
awaken from the darkness into which
they have been beguiled by the Re
publican leaders, and now regard
the Democratic party and principals
in thoir true fight—that it has never
boon against the government, but tor
its truer, better, and patriotic admin
istration. When Republicans talk a
bout tbe people expecting free liberty
—a toleration iu viol iting the Inter

erratic administration, we would cal.
their attention to the time iu tbe iu

Chief Executive bad to call out ths

NIGHT THOUGHTS.
BY AUJtT POLIAK.
Pale gleam the stars in yonder sky,
Above the shurch-yard on the hill,
Where many of our loved ones lie
With heart and pulses Cold and still.
Pale too tbe whito shade o’er them gleam’
Like troubled visions in a cream.
Rest, ohl loved onos’swecHy there,
For some of you were weary,—
Weary of sorrow,Jpain and caro, —
Rest, wo’U no longer query,
Why Qod so’early claimed his own,
And left us horo so near alono.
Did you e’er know, Ohl blessed onos how
Much of our lives you were a pa-t;
I wonder if jon'know o’en now,
llow quickly tho tears will start
Ailc.irn our cheeks wheu we behold,
trume token of your lovo uatold.
Soon o’er your'honds roses will bend
To kiss tho fcroon grass fresses;
Soon o’oryoui heads their hues will blend
In mute porfumed caresses,
Ilung with pearls, of swoot May dow,
Fresh from hoaven’s ethereal blue.
A lovely soenn, yot sad,"and why
Deck wo those mouudsofelay around,
With beauties that are soon to die,
Like the wreath of hopes that crowned
Tho arch of Tim<J.i’er girl-hood's path—
But no rosurcetion Lath,
’Tis only the casket that contained;
The jewels of life lio there—
The precious goms, pure, unstained
By all earth’s indurate wear,
Is now reflected in tho river,
Flowing by God’s throne forever.
CHURCH SUNDAY-SCHOOLS
I noticed in tbe Times of tho ff'i
inst, tbe re-organization of tbe Meth
odist Church Sunday school. With
all goob will and best wishes for the
success of the Gospeiof Jesus Chrst, it
matters not by whom preached, so it
pure and unadulterated by the institu
tions of men. Now this only would I
learn of tbe advocates of church Sun
day school: When and where, did
Jesus Christ institute church Sunday
schoolla, or authorize bis followers to
inaugurate a Sunday school as an
auxiliary to the Church of Christ?
Now it any brother oi friend will fur
nish the above sought testimony any
where in tbe whole code of laws given
by Jesus Christ to govern tbe Gospel
dispensation, we will be thankful for
tbe information and reward our in
structor amply for his labor; for wc
are under tbe delusion that Christ
never did organize a church Sunday
school or authorizs bis followers to do
so. In any way, which if that is
true, it only remains true that church
Sunday schools are an institution of
men and not of God. New if this be
true Sunday schools arc only a moral
institution of men, and are only capa
ble of teaching the doctrines of men.
In a Bible scense, which doctiine God
says He bates. —Rev. 2.15. For tbe
Roman Catholics are the founders of
{chinch Sunday schools, and they have
theirs and teach their doctrines; Pres
byterians have theirs, and teach their
doctrines; Methodists have theirs, and
teach tliier doctrines; tlie Mormons
have theirs ami teach their children all
thefdevil wants them to believe. Now
we are taught by the Scriptures that
Christ is not divided; then it is evi
dent that they are not of God but of
men.
We submit tbe above thoughts in
the spirit of kindness; in tbe defence of
Christ; without any reference to any
particular sectarian creed of any indi
vidual, lor it is not. men we .seek to
oppose, but principalities, powers and
spiritual wickedness in high places.
1 will be glad to hear from any one
confining themselves strictly to tbe
Bible on the subject. Respect, yours,
G. R. Chadwick
Mr. Chadwick is mistaken in the
point we opened and invited to discus
sion. A Union Sunday school and
Church Sunday school are matters of
surrounding circumstances. Churches
are nothing more than so many armies
marching, and contending with and
against one common enemy; and cir
stances may be such, as not only to
justify a concentration of forces, but
would be far better to effect tbe com-
mon end. But, unfortunately, this is
prevented by our want of being clothed
with tbe sufficient and proper spirit ol
Cluist. No, Christ cannot be divided
against himself, neither can the devil;
if either were, according to Bible au
thority. they would fall. Sabbath
schools are then either united for
Christ or against him. Which is it?
If they are against him, according to
Bible authority, they are for the Dev
il, and so are tbe churches by which
they are sustained. It is the dnty of
parents, and so enjoined by tin- Bible,
to teach their children what they be
lieve pertinent to their interest, both
spiritual and temporal, and that chil
dren should be obedient to those pre
cepts and teachings; then why not the
members of the respective churches in
all places where organized meet with
their children every Sabbath and
teach them what they accept as di
vine truths. Authority for Sunday
schools is directly asked for from the
Bible. W.ith as much propriety it
may b 6 asked, Are they in violation
of any Bible ordinance, or do they
break or profane'the gabbath? Is it
not well for tho people of the
Christinnized world, or differ
eot Christian churches, to congregate
their children at tbe nearest house of
worship, and all read and learn the
International Sunday School lesou?
