M. Campbell, of . . Winterset, Iowa, to conduct the ser­ vices." In accordance with this re­ quest the services were “conducted by him on Sabbnth, June 2it, and as a result the congregation decided to givAhim a call. He came and took . up the work regularly ,on Nov. 1, 1884 and found that the parsonage had been overhauled and . repaired in anticipation of his coming. His call - -had been forwarded au$*accepted pre­ viously and he was installed on April 14, 1885- by the Presbytery. ‘ ' ' On April 0, 1885, tho session or­ dered an -election of four additional elders to take place on April 30, -On that date the congregation elected Dr, W . B . Gillespie, T, A. McDill, S. K. Turnbull aud R. P . Kerr in the order named. On May 12 Dr. Gillespie and T. A. McDill signified their ac­ ceptance- and 8, K, Turnbull de­ clined. R. P . Kerr also accepted on May 17, and the ordination and in ; stallation .was set foi- May 28. After a sermon by the pastor on the ubove ■named date; Messrs.' T, A; McDill and R , P , Kerr were ordained, and together with Dr. W, B, Gillespie, who had been ordained previously, they were installed. On Dec, 19, 1885, the time of the Sabbath school was changed until afi •; ter service and that service was set for 10:80 a. m. At the next meeting tlie liine was stilt, further changed to ' 11 a, in. This plan continued unti Ju ly 25, when session decided to re .turn to the old order of service. In . Apri| 188t he pastor enlisted a few young men a as nucleus tor rallying the congregation. This company of ener getic young men who were devoted to the interests of the congregation, while no t having a formal organization, but acting as a sort of a secret society, were the means of. accomplishing much good. On Dec, 25, 1886, the session recommended the election of • two additional trustees at the nex t reg­ ular congregational meeting, so as to . increase that body to five members. -. On March 5, 1887, a paper was • adopted hy the session and trustees defining the duties of the trustees, tobe " as^ollows: ‘'To have supervision^! all matters pertaining to the collecting nhd paying of the pastor’s salary, col lectiug for and payment of all contin­ gent expenses pertaining to the pro­ perties of the congregation, including all necessary repairs of the same; and shall have thechurch in order lor ser­ vices of the congregation, to distribute ov assign the scats and to procure, the bread and wine for communion occas- "*!»»»»( d le ils lo all i*ur duties oad that we williitokcqK'rjai t-ftost to- to mow regular in attendance a t the prayer meeting nuA givo morn time t» the improvement o f the prayer- meetings and when in Providence v c camrnt be present we will,sin* to have private prayer m, the same time,” On April 4,1888. appropriate mm- lotions were parsed- on- the death of Mr, Joseph McCampbell who was the senior member of session, and who bad died on Jan . 9,1888, On Ju ly 23, 1888 the congrega­ tional meeting took action on the pro­ posed resignation of the pastor, and on the next day, at a meeting of -Presbytery iu Xenia, the resignation was presented and accepted and a call from the congregation of fiewicldey, Pa.; was presented and by Dr. Camp­ bell accepted, and he was directed to preach on Sabbath Ju ly 29 aud de:. clare the pulpit' vacant, which he did and on Tuesday there was a farewell social given fit the parsonage, and- on Thursday, August 1, ho and his fam ily took their departure for their new field of labor.

That all legislation which is- really special under the guize of gen eral phaze is defective under the con­ stitution is now unquestionable. B u t such law is judged. -by its character, not by its results. A law whichjxrs- tends to be so general, but is limited by figures that it can apply to only ‘one town, might just as well name tho town and be done with it. “ But the Beal law is not of that kind. I t •is'impossible for all the 'municipalities of the state to decide upon an election under the law and to carry out the entire provision- of the statute. I t is conceivable that all the municipalities might have decided to do this on a given day and that ball of them might have gone dry and half o f them wet. Ifjb e result were to be considered as a tetit of constitu­ tionality, then all lawk governing municipal elections would be Uncon­ stitutional in the same sense, since there is no certainty that any town or even half the towns of the state will vote into office the men who would have been chosen by a majority of .all the voters of-the state. So a. majority of the voters of the state might favor the sale of liquor, bu t that sbpuld not prevent the people o f liny locality, under a law which gave equal privi­ leges to all localities, from deciding what they will do for themselves. The law confers no privilege and adds no restriction in one case, with respect to others. I t marks out no district by its own operation to be dis­ tinguished from ofhors. I t leaves all districts in the hands of the people to bo settled by the preponderance of votes. I t is hard to see, then, where­ in it differs from any other" election lqw; I f that principle is to, bo. de­ clared unconstitutional, then local self-governmentment is impossible and every municipality will have to wait on the voters of the whole state for a decision as to its most minute affairs. The application of a law and the re­ sult of its application are two Very different things. With the first the legislature and the courts are con­ cerned. With the second they have nothing to do unless there can be shown a violation of the rights of men or as citizens. Circuit Judge John M. Cook on Wed esday held that the Beal Jocnl option law was constitutional in- the te-st ea&o from Guernsey county. The case was brought by tho Saloon league of the state. His theory is that the law was a complete law when it was passed and that the referendum clause is only a means of determining by electors where it shall be enforced He holds that the General Assembly has full power to prohibit the liquor traffic absolutely, and i f it has power to prohit entirely.it has power to re­ store. H e further holds tho giving power to vote every two years is not suspension of a law tis the law slrll exists but simply suspends its enforcement.. The Judge over ruled every objection made by the attorneys, for the suit of habeas corpus application. The decision is a heavy blow to tho Hitloou league which wou-anxious to have the bill ested. • Farmer/;’ In tha community have every reason tor rejoicing in the abun­ dance of tho -harvest, Wheat .will be he a good average yield and the grain i.-3of a fine quality, while the meadows have not given grudgingly of their product. G oto never was more prom­ ising than at the present time and all the other produce of tho farm and garden have yielded unsparingly, Tim demand fo r. cereals, and indeed tor everything raised by the agricul­ turist Is large and the range of prices is in advance of former times. Wages are also better while the price of manufactured articles has not ma­ terially improved, which,.perhaps, in -some cases works a hardship op the producer, Never, before, in the history.of the country have agriculturists and wage earners had so little cause tor com­ plaint. Some food products have been pushed up to an inordinate price hut there has been, more than a corre­ sponding in re jbo in the price of brawn and the wage-earner can better afford to p ay . present prices for the neces-’ eaties of life than former prices at a lower wage. Thus it may be seen that present conditions, in the main, a re1more agreeable to the two classes mentioned than aforetime.

"Tis true the. industrial millennium has not yet dawned and the evident unrest among the laboring classes in many sections of the country is a le-r gitimate effort to still further establish that equilibrium between labor and capital which new conditions, contin­ ually arising, make necessary; To meet these conditions labor must never surcease her efforts, for the oppressive encroachments of Capital upon labors domain is one of the conditions aris­ ing out of the prosperity of our times. While in the main, the laborer is better housed, clothed, fed, and paid than aforetime, -capital is also reaping increased profits, and “while the for­ mer is probably satisfied in his en­ vironment it. is not a t all natural tor him to be satisfied with his environ­ ments, aud this is as it should be.
