McDQNALD BRIG CO, 533 Washington mew rorK, scons President Harrison found his official family the cabinet in anything else but a happy condition when he arrived here, and the cabinet meeting held on Saturday was not in the least like a Methodist love feaat. There were several things that had a tendency to create more or less trouble among the brethren. The question of calling an extra session of . Congress took up several hours and the debate at times became somewhat sharp, not to say angry, but Messrs Windom and Tracy, who have from the first opposed calling an extra session, finally succeeded in getting the question decided in their favor. So that matter is settled. There will be no extra session of Con gress. The country should be thankful. Among the appointments made by President Harrison Saturday was a son of Oliver Logan, the widely known newspaper correspondent, to be consul at Bristol, England. He was credited to Texas, but as a matter of fact he has lived abroad nearly all his life. He owes his appointment entirely to the influence of his talented mother. The Democratic employes of the House were not displeased to learn that there would be no extra session. It means a couple of months salary to those fellows. Washington is the healthiest city of its population in the world. This may sound strange to some people in view of the many silly newspaper jokes about "Washington Malaria," etc., but it is a fact which is fully borne out by the carefully kept statistics of the District of Columbia Health office. Senator Barbour, who has consented to continue to act as chairman ot the Virginia Democratic executive com mittee until Mr. B. B. Gordon, the recently elected chairman recovers from his sickness, has issued an address to the voters of his state urging them to perfect their organization and to rally in defense of their state ticket. He says that Mahone will be supported by all the powers and resources of the Federal administration. There are rumors that the adminis tration deal to make Reed Speaker of the House is off, and that McKinley is now the favored man. McKinley has always opposed an extra session and it is to that fact in all probability, that this rumor owes Its leing. The greater part of the administra tion is in Baltimore to-day to look at the monster parade with which the Maryland state exposition was opened America is the greatest country in the world, just as the great American exposition to be held in Washington in 1892 will be the greatest show of the kind ever seen. ine jsationai jjemocrat, a new Democratic weekly paper, made its appearance here Saturday. It makes nice showing typographically, but its editor is too much of a snob to make his paper the power that such a paper rightly conducted might be made at the National Capital. How ever he has liny best wishes. He is aiming right anyway. The Navy department has decided to accept the gunboat "Petrel" built by the Columbia Iron Works of Baltl more. . Mr. Blaine's friend, ex-Representa tive Kasson is believed to have the call on the Russian mission. Members of the Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of La Salle : . When the invitation was extended me, through your pastor and board of trustees, to lay the corner stone of this your neV church, my first thought was, "Can I with good conscience comply with such a : request?" Though, indeed, 1 was baptised, brought up, and confirmed in the Lutheran church, yet I have become a stranger to many of your teachings and practices have become, indeed, their open opponent. The Christian religion teaches hu mility. In that I cannot follow her. The words of Sschunemann-fott, Be Proud Yet Unassuming," ("Seid stolz, aber bescheiden,") have become with me a moral command.

Alls, P4aintiff'a Attorney. J. H. Martin is building an extensive corn crib and grain house. Michael Beck and George Riley have sold their farms near Union Center. John Denig purchased a part of the Giesley farm and has taken possession J. W. Dougal and William Hoaglin are preparing to build new houses on their farms. Emma, little daughter of Lorin and Ellen High, is seriously ill and 1b con fined to her bed. Harvey Sidlow, of Hocking county, who has been visiting the family of G. D. Liggett for some time, left for Kan sas, last Monday, to visit relatives. The Center folks, whose picnic was a failure last Thursday, will have an other next Saturday. A number of schools have been invited and a good time is anticipated. The ditch sale on the Flickinger ditch was largely attended and sold as low as 8 cents per cubic yard. This does not indicate good times, lots of work and big wages, as promised by the g. o. p. last fall. Democratic harmony prevails all over Union, and, realizing that we have a most excellent ticket from Governor down to Infirmary Director, we pre dict a larger majority in Union town ship next November than we have ever had. It is a very common thing down here to hear Republicans say that the Republicans of Ohio made blanked fools of themselves by trotting J. B Foraker out for a third term, and then they add, "who wants a drug store man lor county commissioner anu a boot and shoe man, although a good man, tor treasurer." it evidently would be a mistake to say that Republicans in general, are well satisfied with their ticket. death he went to, representing the highest ideas of the human race. : if 1 am present when you practice these old customs and in honest belief attach a further mysterious meaning there to, such tokens of respect, as I then show, do not refer to such mys terious meaning thereto. In the most essential teachings the Kehgions and science are not in op position. The Christian and other religions teach: That is right which is the will of God, and that is wrong which is contrary to His will; and God compels obedience. And science teaches: The great All, or JNature (if all that is to be in cluded in this word) works in the liv ing world here on earth, and has worked since millions of years, to produce ever higher individuals. In this manner it nas produced man as he is to-day; in this manner it now continues to work, and thus, we can foresee, it will continue to work for just as long a future, de veloping ever higher beings out of the man of to-day. The men who take this conduct of Nature for their guide will survive; those who do not, will perish. The separate ethical teachings that follow from this, are, for the most part, the same as those of the Old and the JNew Testaments. A fundamental principle that is common to Religion and Science is this: Strive to find the truth, be it welcome or unwelcome. And I ac cordingly had to tell you through your representatives that your church did not in its artieles of organization, distinctly permit the free investiga tion of religious truth. Uf my friend ly feelings towards this church, 1 could now, as I have formerly done, give warm assurance; for and" I thankfully confess it much that I am 1 have become through the Lu theran church. But further I could not identify myself with her. 1 furthermore told your represen tatives, that if the teachings of the Lutheran church were such as a man of Luther's character, equipped with the science of to-day, would make them then I too was still a Lutheran. Your pastor then assured me that the synod of your branch of the Lu theran church did permit independ ent research, and by his advice you have, without dissent, embodied in the constitution of your church resolutions that not only permit your pastors to study articles of creed in ine iignt oi science, duu mage it their duty. And you have further made it a part of your constitution that an article of creed, in so far as it be in conflict with science, must fall. Therein, my friends, the true Pro testant spirit has again taken pos session of you and you have taken up the continuance of the reformation. If that article remain forevermore its spiritual corner-stone, your church stands upon rock. And so I now meet with pleasure the invitation with which you have honored me, to lay the corner-stone of your new temple, which shall be the place of highest human aspira tions, where in the youthful genera tion now arising, you will form again the soul of those who now live, and of those who lived before us, and give it continuance beyond the individual life. Let the walls of this edifice dedicated to humanity's highest ideals proudly rise; to the honor of the high founder of the Christian church and to the honor of our Martin Luther and of all who worked before, with, and after them, in their way, to elevate humanity! And particularly may this remain a seat of tolerance, as to-day it is; of tolerance from those who cling to the older .teachings towards me who think progressively; of tolerance, too from such as think like me towards those who only with hesitation change the creed of their childhood. pleased..

Home talent is generally sup- ' posed to have accomplished the deed. ' HOAGLIN TOWNSHIP., The post-office change at our office has created great dissatisfaction. We understand C. S. Clark is study ing medicine and will go away this , fall to take a course of lectures. . Sue--cess be with him. If the people all over the county feel f as do the Democratic boys in Hoaglin" ' the ticket nominated last Saturday will have a walk-over. Mr. Merrick has had so many "society" quarrels and been mixed up in so many pike . ' and warehouse deals that no one down ; here has the courage to defend him. ' Many Republicans say that he will ' withdraw from ' the ticket, for his , election is simply out of the question. In looking over the columns of last week's Bulletin we noticed a senseless personal attack emanating from' the , pen of that addle-pated numb-skull, alias the Cavette correspondent. We told this chuckle-head iu our last communication that we had no time to waste on a fool and judging from his ': article we hit him hard. At least this is his confession. "If ignorance is bliss" this stupid cuss ought to be supremely happy and the whojj drift of his flippant, slanderous attempt to injure his superiors is only another evidence that he is like a river more mouth than head. As far as his "Social Chat" is concerned we are obliged, to decline, as we have too many rev speciable people to visit to pay any attention to such a .misery of human creation. .

Several from here attended the Ohio State Fair last week. There seems to be a general dissatis faction among the Republicans in this community over their candidate for Commissioner. TheVenedocia postoffice has changed hands, D. H. Edwards receiving his commission. May he prove to be as accommodating as John Uhl, the retiring one. The Democrats nominated a ticket last Saturday that everybody can feel proud of. Every honest citizen can give it his hearty support, for it stands by the people, in fact a better ticket could not be put before the people. Miss M. E. Foster, of this place, seems to take tne lead among our young ladies. Last harvest she drove three horses to her father's binder and cut his grain, amounting to between 800 and 1000 bushels. Then she went. to the Middlepoint Normal and secured! a certificate to teach school. Medicated Air. See Advertisement.
