will be with us over next Sunday. There
seems to be a disposition on the part of
the Congregational brethren to extend a
call to Rev. Fox to occupy their pulpit
regularly. We shall not be surprised to
see such action taken later. „

Have Closed Up Shop.
Washington , Nov. 22. The supreme
headquarters of the American Protective
Association in this city have been closed
and the office furniture and other appur
tenances sold under the hammer , a Wash
ington publishing house having fore
closed a mortgage given to secure pay
ment of indebtedness contracted for
printing supplies.
The passing of the order as a national
organization is the result , chiefly , of dis
sensions that had their origin in the
presidential campaign of 1896 , and are
said to have caused a falling off of more
than half of its membership.
* For some time the subordinate councils
have refused to contribute to the support
of the national body , which , finding it
self without means to continue its work ,
has quietly quit.
John W. Echols , of Atlanta , Ga. , the
supreme president , who has been making
this city his temporary residence , says
that one reason for the suspension is that
a large number of the members of the
association wanted office under President
McKiuley , and when they failed to reach ,
held the national officers responsible.
Another reason advanced by Mr. Ech
ols is that "at least one-third of the mem
bers of the order are trying to make a
living out of it. " He declares that the
organization owes him $1,000 on account
of salary , and says he is ready to resign
as soon as he is paid. Toledo Blade ,

• He laughs best who laughs last. The
democratic statesmen were tittering in
their sleeves during the consideration of
the Dingley law over the fact that a doz
en or more countries had threatened to
retaliate by excluding our products from
their ports in case this country again"
adopted a high tariff against their pro
ducts. An examination of the books of
the Treasury department , however ,
shows that our exports to those countries
in the first two months of the Dingley
law were far in excess of our exportations
to these-same countries in the correspond
ing two months of last year under the
Wilson law.

The indications are that the Omaha
Exposition next year will be larger and
finer than either of like nature which
have been held in the south since the fa
mous display of the world's progress
marie in 1893 at Chicago. It will have
the advantage of better times and of still
more notable development of the art and
sciences. It will appeal directly to a
richer and more advanced section of the
country , and climatic conditions are like
ly to' be more favorable. This means
greoAthings for the Transmississippi Ex
position. Atlanta and Nashville did so
well thattheir record cannot easily be
suqJKissed , and to keep the scale rising in
such enterprises must imply large achiev-
men 'ts. ' That is just what the west is
equal to and fitted for by training and
temperament.

The story that Judge Day , Assistant
Secretary of State , proposes to resign and
resume the practice of law in Canton is
not without the element of plausibility.
When he accepted the appointment
which he now holds at Washington he
gave up a practice which is said to have
been worth $25,000 a year. That is a
great deal more than he could hope to
realize from any Federal office. As one
of the leading members of the bar in
Ohio his station is as honorable as any
man could desire , and the achievement
of financial independence by congenial
labor is vastly more to the taste of a man
like * Judge Day than the uncertain for
tunes of politics.
The grape dinner is not exactly an ex
tension of the grape cure , as the menu is
npt-eoufined exclusively to the fruit.
But the decorations all relate to grapes.
A large silverand glass dish occupies the
center of the table , filled with purple and
green grapes and grape leaves. From
the center to each corner of the table run
grapevines , terminating in bunches of
green grapes. The doilies are in the form
of grape leaves ; the ices and jellies are
studies in grape forms , and bunches of
grapes hang from the chandeliers.
