"My friends you will find the SUBJ

the words: 'sThs devil he goeth
about like q roaring lion, seeking

WANTS AND NECESSITIES OF A
CoMMUNITY.-The timber troubles
in Minnesota recall story Of q
Methodist conference which was
held at an early day in Illinois. A
minister who had lately come to
the West, and who still proudly
wore a high hat and broadcloth
coat, obtained the floor, and thus
addressed his associates: 81 am
against stealing in every shape, and
therefore movesthe adoption of the
following resolution: Resolved,
That, in the opinion OF this con
terence, it is Just as sinful to steal
government timber as any other
kind of property" Whereupon a
brother clergyman, clad in home
spun, rose hastily and responded;
at is evident that the brother who
introduced this resolution is new.
conner, and does not know the wants
and necessities of this community.
| move that the resolution be laid
on the table" And 1t was laid on
the table accordingly Springfield
Republican.

OF debt, and money in their treas
urles, and no good reason has ex-
listed since that time why in any
year there should have been a
draft upon the treasury for more
than could be paid. A wise man
keeps his expenses within his means
and a good and faithful public
officer is bound to use the same
wisdom and discretion in managing
public affairs that he would in his
own. 1t is time for the citizens of
Douglas county to learn wisdom,
and not only to learn it but to be-
gin its practice.
While debts and old obligations
press US, and stand ready to absorb
every dollar that comes into the
treasury, We must all suffer, but
especially will the poor, and the
man who depends upon his daily
labor suffer, for he needs the money
he earns and cannot get it. Aud
the man OF means will take advan-
tage of him and oppress and de-
fraud him. A fair and square policy
doing equal justice to ali is the only
one that can IN the end succeed,
and such is the one we must follow.

THE streets OF Bradford, Penn,
in the oil regions, are as light by
night as by day. A large natural
gass well in the vicinity furnishes
the gas, which is carried through
pipes along the different streets, at
a slight cost. Gas jets as large as
bon-fres are kept burning TIL morn
ing, which gives Bradford by night
q very picturesque appearance.
