Wishing our readers a happy holiday the NEWS ITEM tips its hat and closes up shop for one week. Next issue, July 14. —The Laporte Normal School opens 011 Wednesday, July tith. In addition to the Normal course design ed for teaching a very strong prepar atory course for interniedate and ad vanced pupils has been established. The aim of the school will be to give culture and inspiration to all who avail themselves of its advantages. The faculty is strong anil able and will give our young poople a course of instruction that will prove of life long value and service. The school should receive strong support and liberal patronage from all our peo ple. Whilst the war lor the freedom of j Cuba is stirring the hearts of the people it is difficult to attract atten tion to the tamer alfairs of the nation. The political questions deemed so important heretofore, are quite in the background. Republicans seem to be resting on their laurels won in 189 C, with an easy confidence in the future. It is not our purpose to preach calamity, or cry wolf without cause, but we deem it proper to re mind our readers that while the brave men in uniforms are carrying the Has to victory on land and sea, citizens at home must see that the sword is sustained by tln* purse. The hands of Mclvinley must be up held; and in his financial, and in his progressive measures he depends lar gely on Republicans. Nothingcan be plainer than that we need Haiwaii and yet MeKinley embar rassed for months by a blind oppo sition. He must also be sustained in his financial measures; if left to the? tender mercy of free silver men and free traders, ruin would soon stare us in the face. Cleveland's wretched financial blunders would lie repeated, and bad made worse by Bryan's forty-cent dollar. Is Bryan ism dead'.' By no means. It has been steadily crushing out the hard money element of the Democratic party in every State, and in our own State, has thrown Harrity and all sound money Democrats overboard. The free tnule and free silver combi nation i> mustering for another struggle, and gathering in all the forces of discontent and ignorance. They want to make "gains"this year to inspire hope for the next Presi dential contest. It is not wise to underestimate this powerful combi nation. Our victory in 18% was not gained without hard lighting We can beat them again, but not by calm confidence and supine inaction. There must be organization and work and now is the time to begin the contest. Pennsylvania is the banner State of Republicanism. With a clear appreciation of the measure necessary for the welfare of the Na tion, and with matchless leaders, it has lead the battle for protection to labor, for honest money, and Nation al progress. Since our great victory of 1800 there has been some conten tion about offices, some jealousies on the part of those who wish to be leaders, some handfuls of mud have been thrown at our staunchest and best men, but these are ordinary in cidents which follow every successful Presidential election. They amount to nothing when the intelligent mas ses rouse to action. The result in Pennsylvania is not in doubt so far as the success of our ticket is concern ed, but the great majority of 18% must not be fritterd away. The en emies of the administration must not be encouraged and the foundations for the election of a Republican Presi dent in 1900 must be made firm and sure. Col. Stone, our candidate for Gov ernor, is an able leader. He is not half known yet. He will make a Governor that we shall l>e proud of. The beneficent efforts of his adminis tration will soon be felt, and he is likely to leave the position of Gov ernor at the end of his term for high er honors. (Jen. Gobin is in the tented field, adding another war record to the glorious services he rendered in the Rebellion.

The question of how a woman's right to preserve her own Individuality may or may not be changed by her marriage has been much mooted in connection with the titled conferred upon Miss Lewis Butt, of Augusta, Ga. At the time of the unveiling in Richmond, Va., of the Jefferson Davis monument. Miss Butt, who was on a visit in that city, was surprised that among the many Southern States rep resented in the decorations Georgia had no place. The day before the cere monial was to come off she got permis sion of herself undertake the orna mentation of the exterior of one of the handsomest houses in the town, and at night held a large reception, at which ahe was congratulated and lauded by Governor Atkinson of Georgia, who de clared that she had rendered the State a political service. Miss Butt replied that she should be made a member of the Governor's staff. The Governor agreed that such an acknowledgment •hould be made, and that if he were re elected he would make the appoint ment. Last autumn saw Governor Atkinson again installed in office, and MIBS Butt received an appointment to the staff. She began to fulfil the duties of her post, riding with the staff on parades and receiving with them, and several times represented the Governor at functions he could not attend, bearing always, of course, the title of colonel. The young woman's marriage some two months ago brought about a complica tion in the matter of names, for in quisitive people began to demand vtiether she should be called Colonel Butt or Cunningham, or whether she had a right to the title at all. The question is still unsettled, but Mrs. Cunningham is in possession of the Bword of office, the only portion of uniform she assumed. It Is a hand some jewelled affair, which was pre sented to her by the staff. 'l'fce "Stupid Boy" t'baiuploued. The "stupid boy," who haR long posed upon the dunce's block, serving to point a moral and adorn a tale for other little boys to jeer at, has at last found a kindly champion. She says: "It Is well to remember that a boy is not necessarily stupid because he is pronounced stupid. He may be stupid ly judged. The fire of intellect may kindle slowly; it may be smouldering under a heap of ashes, hopelessly sup pressed. Genius does not always shoot up like a skyrocket. It may come like the rising of the sun to meridian splen dor—slowly and steadily. Moreover, a stupid judgment of a boy is damaging to him. To call him a blockhead, a dunce, an idiot, is unwise, as well as unkind. "Give the stupid boy a chance, and it will be known ere long whether he is really or only apparently stupid." As an example of this the case of Isaac Barrow is given. When he was a boy his father considered him so stupid that he used to say if it pleased God to take from him any of his children be hoped it would be Isaac. Yet Isaac was not taken. He grew, instead, to be one of the greatest preachers of Eng- ] land, a professor in the University of Cambridge and a teacher of Sir Isaac Newton. Administrator's Notice.
