Tbe Constitution eaye Chillicothe
is an Indian name and signifies
'-beautiful plain." The town was
named for Chillicothe, Ohio, and was

leading country town of which is
Chillicothe.

be was arrested for Cbillicotbo. He
says be has a 12 days'furlough from
the army, but failed to show it. He
was trying to beat bis way to some
point in Iowa where bis father lives.
There is some doubt which ha tbe
better claim to try him for larceny,
the civil or military court.
The Constitution is incensed at the
action ot Gov. Stone in pardoning
from the penitentiary one Harry
Hudson, who in cold blood murdered
a merchant, of Chillicothe, in Aug
ust, 1888, named Openheim. In
January following, Uudson was sent
to the penitentiary for 50 3 ears.
Governor Francis commuted the
sentence to 10 years, and now Gov
ernor Stone fully pardons him. We,
ot course, know nothing about the
case, but if tbe facts are as stated by
the Constitution, the governor has
hit upon juct the right method to
encourage mob law in Missouri.
Thirty youug men were trans
ferred from the Kansas penitentiary
last week to the stale reform school.

Short or Long Sermon.
The Columbia Herald asked the
ministers, of Boone county, how
long the Sunday morning and even
ing ssrmons should be.
Itr. Babb, Baptist, thought that
15 to 30 minutes was long enough.
Rev. Roiselle, Declple, believes in a
full hour.
Rev. Penn, Baptisrtthinks the
fixed time should govern, "but tbe
sermon should vary in length in ac
cordance with the interest shown by
the congregation.
Rsv. Nollaer, Methodist, considers
HO minutes as a rule long enough.
Rev. Barbee, Baptist, favors 30
minutes in town and longer time in
tbe country.
Rev. Winders, Deciple, favors long
sermons.
Rev. Uaupin, Methc-dist, consid.
ere 30 minutes long enough for eith
er morning or evening.
Rev. Kendrick, Methodist, favors
30 minutes with a margin of 10 min
utes on either side.
Rev. Monser, Deciple, 35 minutes
in winter and 25 in summer.
Rev. McGuire, Baptist, 30 minutes
both morning and evening.
Rev. Sharp, Metbodfst, brevity in
warm weather, say 20 to 25 min
utes; 30 to 40 minutes when cooler.
Rev. O'lWly, Catholic, should not
exceed forty minute?, 20 minutes
can be made to do good service.
Said an old preacher: "Half an
hour for God, tbe rest for the devil."
Rev. Hatcher, Baptist, 20 minutes
is too long far a poor eermon and
an hour is too short for a really
crood one. s Josn liiuings said, "a
preacher who does not strike oil In
40 minutes is boring with a dull
auger."
Dr. 11. K. llinde thus expresses his
views on the eubject: "Your queries
presuppose the fact that the preach
erwill deliver two discourses the
eame day. 1 am already on record
in our own church paper, that one
first-elass sermon is all the average
preacher is able to construct and de
liver in one week and attend proper
ly to all bis other duties. I claim
that it would not only be better for
the preacher, but mere profitable for
the congregation to have one ser
mon on Sunday. One good sermon
Is as much as tbe average congrega
tion is capable of digesting and as
similating. Instead ot a sermon on
Sunday night I would have the
preacher conduct a Bible class com
posed of his entire membership. We
have a surfeit ot declamatory
preaching and a famine of exposito
ry preaching. But my opinion is
not asked on this eubject. In regard
to tbe length of sermons I answer
categorically and laconically. For
ty minutes as a rule in the towns
and cities. Country congregations
will want a whole loaf one hour."
A child is born, the doctor gets
10, the editor notes it and gets 0;
it marries and the minister gets $10;
tba editor gets a piece ot cake or 00.
In course of time it dies, the doctor
gets from f 5 to $100 and perhaps
the minister gets another $5, the un
dertaker 25 to $50; the editor
prints a notice of the death and an
obituary a column long, and a set
of resolution of some organization
to which tbe deceased be longed,
and be receives 000.

Why France is Sound.
From the Kansas City Journal. '
A great many people wonder wbyjK
France is financially eo prosperous.
One of the reasons is she is patrotic- v
and etands up for France, si: v.-.
In a late case before a-French' !
court a creditor had sued on a note -j
payable in gold, and tie court, held
the proviso void on the ground that I
ono sort of money issued by France A
was as good as another and to disv
criminate in favor of either one was
a conspiracy to injure the govern-. i
ment and its credit, and that the -i
debtor has the right to pay in any
thing insued by the government as .
money. - "'
That doctrine, a sound and patrio
tic one, if enforced in this conntry,
would bring Secretary Carlisle np
with a round turn. There are no. .
mijr ceui uepreciaiors auoweq in
France, a fire franc piece being as
mnch money as a Napoleon. France
nnlrPR hpr n vn mnnos on1 n. a -
- ma wuvj uuwi auav- j(
tempt to discredit it even in contracts .y
is a conspiracy at law. No wonder hJ
France is prosperous, as .her Jaw-.-,
makers and her courts are as patrio-' r
tic as her people. No high officers ol
state are there engaged in depreciat
ing the money issued for the nee of
her people. It is morally a crime in
the United State? and ought to be
held as an offense at law by our own
courts; possibly it will be some day.
