What We Have Done.
Mr. George D. Feary, of Kansas
City, Mo., thus writes to the editor
of "The Press :" Sir : Kansas City
Mo., has 32,000 registered voters, of
whom 17,000 are enrolled members
of the Sound Money Club. Can you
beat that in Pennsylvania?
Can we bent it? When the
Sound Money Ambulance Corps
started out in the gray dawn of
Wednesday morning and waded
through the dew spangled grass of
low land and beneath the fiery foli
asre of Autumn woods on the hill
sides from the Delaware to the Ohio
it did not find enough of Bryan i fol
lowers to start a Pike county grave
yard in an unhealthy year. Can we
beat it, Mr. Feary ? There were no
free silveriuw in Pennsylvania after
last Tuesday.

On the Result.
The country appears to have ut-
torly revolted nt the conditions of
tho Chicago platform. We do not
desire to exult over a fallen victim.
The men who stood tip for Bryan
were not our foes nor did they in
tend to wrong thoir country. We
believe that the masses of them
were patriotic loyal American citi
zens, who simply had lost their
heads at the shimmer of the silver
phantom. They will in time Bee
their mistake and know that they
were treading the edge of a finan
cial and social volcano, and will
shudder at the reflection of what
might have been. Thnt steady,
hard, honest common sense which
iB at once the safe guard, and spur
of the American people can always
be aepenuea on, .ana this time It was
grandly in evidonco. Now let us
have no more talk about masses and
classes, but all push together for
the prosperity which will dawn all
over this land.
ELECTION ECHOES.
Those who did not go up the river,
went hunting the day after eloction.
We do not know if any have re
turned, the faces of Popocrats have
been scarce since Ine 3rd, " '
We did not expoct it would be
quite so bad, though we warned you
in time to stand from under, some
thing was going to drop.
How would some of our friend9
like to reproduce the cartoons which
have adorned thoir pngos and added
weight to thoir arguments?
Now won't tho Bryan and Sewall
club have another ' grand rally" and
let "Dory" orate? We want to see
that "cago" on the street again, and
those beautiful transparencies, and
perhnps they can tell us why it
happened.
As the Republican plow keeps
turning up the sod the "one green
spot" grows smaller and beautifully
less, and the seed sown on the fresh
soil boars good results. Only a few
more rounds and the "green" will
disappear, and with it forever the
hide bound traditions, rattlesnake
and whiskey reputation of 1 ittlo Pike

Thursday morning, Reading fol
lowed by singing when Prof.- Det
wiler spoke on Civil Government,
spoke of its importance in our
schools, because so many people
grew up with out a sufllciont know
ledge of our laws to enable them to
vote intelligently, and gave a very
clear talk on the manner of electing
tho Presidents their power.infiuence,
how treaties are made, and the ap
pointment of foreign ministers.
Tho Treasurer then read the re
port of finances of the Institute for
lost year showing a deficit of $32
which had been paid by the Superin
tendent, and also the report for this
year as follows :

Prof Kemp thon occupied the rest
ot the session on reading which is
the foundation of everything wo do
and showed its importance as being
a TOiffnmantal subjoct.' and pointed
out tho mistakes of the old and new
methods, and explained the system
adopted by Mrs. Pollard, or which is
her system, that it camo nearer the
natural order in which a chdd
should be taught, first word recog
nition, next thought getting third
uttoranco fourth gosture.
Tho afternoon session was taken
up by the same professors in fur
ther elaborating their sulijocts. In
the evening Supt. Sawyer varied the
exercises by introducing a new or
der. First was a Welcome sonar bv
the pupils of the Milford schools.
This was followed with an address
by J. H. Van Etten on tho "News
paper as an Educator." Singing bv
the Milford schools, Fairy Dell,
when Rev. B. S. Lassitcr sxoke on
"Personal Influence," Then came
the Soldier's Chorus by a solected
choir and Prof. Detwiler took up the
subject of Books and Reading. The
choir then rendored "Old Mother
Hubbard" and Rev. J. A. Wiegand,
of Matamoras closed tho exorcises
with an excellent talk on the influ
ence of the teacher on the pupil.
Friday morning, Prof. Detwiler
took as a text "Money" and defined
and described the five different kinds
of billa in circulation.
The greenback, silvor certificate,
gold certificate, coin notes and na
tional bank notes.
Prof. Kemp then talked on "bot
any" illustrating how buds are
formed, protected and how the
loaves and blossoms grow on a cherry-tree.
The committee on resolu
tions then presented its report which
is given below whon Prof . Sawyer
declared tb,e sossion closed in a few
appropriate remarks, and this insti
tute with its joys, friendships and
flirtations passed into history. It
was very successfully oonduc ted, and
the several instructors furnished ex
cellent material for thought, and
many lessons which the teachers
will doubtless be greatly profited by
recurring to in the future. The
music and singing throughout was
an attractive aud enjoyable feature
of the proceedings.

The President Calls on the Coun

DO DEEDS OF CHARITY.
Mr. Cleveland Snys the People of the
I'nlted States Should Give Thanks for
Escape from Hire Disaster, and
Designates Thursday, Novem
ber Twenty-Sixth.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 4, 1896.
Thanksgiving proclamation by
tho Prosidont of the' Jni tod States ;
Thepeoplo of the United States
should never bo unmindful of the
gratitude they owe the God of Na
tions for His watchful care which
has shielded them from dire disaster
and pointed out to thom the way of
peaco and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts thoir prononess
to turn away from God's teaching
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may bo quickened, it is fitting that
on a day especially appointed we
should join together in Rpproaching
the Throne of Grace with praise and
supplication.
Therofore I, Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of
the present month of November, to
be kept and observed as a day of
thanksgiving and prayor throughout
our land.
On that day may all our people
forego their usual work and occupa
tion, and, assembled in their accus
tomed places of worship, let them
with one accord render thanks to
the Ruler of tho Universo for our
preservation as a nation and our de
liverance from every threatened
danger ; for the peace that has dwelt
within our boundaries, for our de
fence against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed, for
the plenteous rewards that have fol
lowed the labors of our husbandmen
and for all the other blessings that
have been vouchsafed to us.
And let us, through the media
tion of Him who has taught us how
to pray implore the forgiveness of
our sins and a continuation of Hea
venly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the poor and needy,
and by deeds of charity let our of
ferings of praise be made more ac
ceptable ie the sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal of
the United States, which I have
caused to be hereunto affixed.
(Signed)
By the President,
Grover Cleveland.
