4 YUL. LXXIX. THE PROHIBITION TICKET, How the Newspapers View the Nomina- tion of Berry for Governor, Appended will be found extracts from editorials dealing with the nomi- pations made by the Prohibition party : Pittsburg Post, Democratic: It is folly to assume that the Democracy of this State will accept what is apt to be thought the cardinal plank of the Pro- hibitionists, There are more immedi- ate issues, larger in scope, and more germane to political action, than the hopeless fantasy of sumptuary legis lation. Pittsburg Dispatch, Republican : The political situation in the State is interesting, and made more so by the action of the Prohibition convention, One thing seems reasonably certain, that out of the unpretedented compli cation which involves all parties and factions the only solution must be the selection of candidates who will attract popular support. For that reason the voters have cause for congratulation, Philadelphia Press, Republican : The Prohibition action has rather un- expectedly given both the leading par- ties in the State something lively to think about. It is first clearly the pur- pose of the Prohibition tail to wag the Democratic dog, and uadoubtedly it will succeed, The Democrals bave been demanding fusion, but iusisting that the candidate for Governor must be a Democrat, Here they have bolb, Whether they would themselves have chosen Berry or not they cannot now well refuse to accept him. He Is un- questionably a Democrat ; he was Lhe candidate of the party for State Treas urer last year, and he has Lhe prestige of success, It is apparent that if there is to be any fusion in which the Pro hibition party voles are Lo be counted the coming Democratic State Conven- tion must adopt this whole ticket.

On the other band, Berry isan honest man whose victory al the polis gives him prestige with independent voters, and the selection will, or should, spur the other parties lo place the strongest possible tickets in the field. ——— A ATA PROHIBITIONS ALLURING FPROURAM, The nomination of State Treasurer Berry for Governor by the Prohibition- ists is an invitation to the Democrats of Pennsylvania to join the cold-water brethren in another vigorous sssault upon the common enemy--the graft. ers, remarks the Record. The invita tion is made well-nigh irresistible by the naming of Representative Ureasy on the ticket for Auditor General, ex- Representative Coray for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and Homer [. Castle for Lieutenant Governor—all staunch reformers. There is little doubt that the Prohi- bition leaders whose directing hands are seen in this outcome of their con vention have played good politics, Their offer will not be brushed aside by the Democrats, as, indeed, it should pot be. But the Democratic Biate Convention iss mouth distant. 1here is ample time in which to feel the public pulse. Mature judgment may suggest some changes iu the ticket be fore it is acceptable to the Democratic electors. In the meantime there is & proposition before the Democrats well worth serious consideration, The Centre county Republicans are Jubilant because they expect to have some participation in the work of the coming Republican State Convention. Heretofore they were the hirelings of politieal bosses, It remains to be seen whether their long subservience has not incapacitated them for independ- ent action, POMONA GRANGE MEETING At Logan Hall, near FPleasant Gap, was Largely Attended, The May meeting of the Centre County Pomona Grange, held at Lo- gan Grange Hall, Thursday of last week, was largely attended, Farmers took advantage of the breathing spell between corn planting and other work, to attend this meeting.

In 1865 there were but little over 51,000,000 acres under cultivation in the United States. To- day the cultivated acres number 236. 000,000 and these acres are not only the best, but they are fast going up in value beyond the reach of men of siuall means, Keen scented corpora- tions suufliog inevitable battle from afar are turning their attention to land, and greedily buying whole counties with no idea of ever letting an acre go, but the boy who thinks he is made for something higher looks calinly ou thinking there will be plenty left for him should he ever hive to stoop to it. The sons of half starved teachers, lawyers, traders and others, who are unsuccessful in their overcrowded callings, are turning to the cheaper lands, sure to find there what they nor their parents have known never before-~truly indepen. dent homes, A PS —— Many a wan with brains basu’t the athe andy shpat F313 34% .

A year later he gradu- ated from Franklin and Marshall Col- lege, being valedictorian of his class. The following fall he entered the Re- formed Theological Seminary, at Mer- cersburg, but the following spring he again taught, this time at Friedensburg, Berks county, and in the fall of the same year, 1865, in company with the Hon. Jeremiah 8S. Hess, he went pursue his theological studies under the muster minds of European Universities, which are known for their logic and depth of research, spending the winter semester attending lectures at the Uni- versity of Berlin, and the summer sem- ester at the University of Bonn. The winter and summer semesters of 1866 and 1867 were spent at the University of Tuebingen. After listening to these masters of philosophy and science and becoming familiar with the topography of a large part of the Rhine Valley ( for between the semesters he made exten give tours on foot up the Rhine, from Cologne to Coblentz, Bingen, Frankfort, Heidelberg, through the Black Forest and Switzerland ; also in the meantime visiting the art galleries of Munich, Paris and London ), he returned home. He was ordained and licensed to preach the gospel by West Susquehanna Classis of the Reformed Church, at Boalsburg, Oct. 29, 1867, and he soon received a eall from Emanuel’'s Reform. ed church ( then a mission ) at Williams- port, preaching his initial sermon in German to an audience of thirteen, In connection with this pastorate he served as a ‘supply " to congregations in Nip- penose, White Deer and Black Hole Val- leys.

The pulpit today demands a message that is loyal to Christ, a message that carries conviction to seckers after world- ly pleasures. Dr. Evans delivers his sermons with incisive seal and fervor. To be as a father to so large a congre- gation for more than a generation, to pronounce the solemn service over the bier of fathers and mothers, to unite in holy wedlock their children whom he baptized in infancy, and continue to do effective work as a pastor is a distine- tion which Dr. Evans enjoys. In 1905 he officiated at fifty-four funerals, and was a comfort to those in sorrow. Rev, Mr. Evans was married in 1875 to Miss Ellie V. Longaker, of Norris. town.
