The Rev. j. H. Winslow preached his
last sermon of this Conference year last
Sabbath, to a large congregation. Some
fears are entertained that he will not
he with us another year, but owing to
the fact of Mrs. Winslow's poor health,
there is general hope that we will be
able to keep him. God has blessed his
labors for three years with great sue
cess-the cause has prospered, the
church built up and strengthened and
many found the Saviour. May God
continue to bless him wherever he goes,
is the prayer of this people.

Gov. Mccormick.

Gov. Mccormick has proved in the Treasury Department what is vitally inpOrtant-that he is an "eXecutive man." He can dis patch business, dispose of it, get it off his hands. Most men can only postpone business. He con- sumes more time in doing things than in talking about them. The secret of his success as an eXecut- i've officer is that he is prompt, straightforward positive man. Not being backbOneleSs, he is willing GO assume responsibility, to take Consequences. His theory is that executive officers are to execute, not palaver, eternally debate. Hence, it is not improbable that to do anything important he be- lieves that it may be necessary to coma in collision with something or somebody. We may assume, also, that he believes it is the duty of a public servant in power to grant sometimes and not always to refuse. Possibly he has not abandoned the old theory that to serve the public. some service must be rendered to the men and women who compose the public. But whether Secretary McCOr- mick does gracious and generous things in a gracious and hearty way, or serves his countrymen in- dividually instead of his country in some intangible, abstract way, the obstinate fact exists that he is immensely popular. Candor com- pels us to add, he richly deserves his fortunate fate.- Washington Nation.

THE completion of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad to Fort Gar, land opens an important link in the chain of communication with the outer world for Arizona. Trains leave that place daily, connecting at Denver with the Denver & Union Pacific, Kansas Pacific and Colorado Central railways and at Pueblo with the Atchinson Tope- ka and Santa Fe railroad and there ny with the whole network of the United States railroads. The Texas Pacific has been delayed for so long a time that, so far as Ari- ais concerned, it will soon cease to be necessity; though we shall be only too glad to have that and a dozen others pushed through. Thus far however we have had only talk, government aid, politi- cal sympathy &c. in regard to it.

THE Republican party is the party of law and order, of liberality and equality, JI progress and en- lighteniuent, and the deplorable condition of the Southern States at this time, as well as the unset tied condition of various great questions of state policy, demand to engraft of it united and untir. ing effort its character upon the conduct of public affairs For nearly twenty years it has shaped the pol icy ofthe country and in spite of the Pharisees and the neglected states men, it is the only party organi- zation to which, to-day, upon a fair issue, the people of the United States would dare to entrust the conduct of their affairs. The duty of the Republican party then is to harmonize upon the chief articles of faith, and win victory from the pending political campaigns in the different States.

We are in favor of Secretary Sherman for almost any office he wants. He is good Republican, and he takes the policy because he can't help it. We should particu- larly rejoice to cee him elected to the United States Senate next winter, if that would permanently retire Matthews. But it does seem odd, in view of the Presidents "order," to hear it announced that Secretary Sherman is stumplng Ohio as a candidate for the United States Senate. It is perfectly right, we maintain, for him to do this, but we desire the public to take notice that what is right for a Cabinet officer to do is not wrong in any other officer. Let us try to be consistent as well as reforma- tory. Let us try to promote the spirit of reform rather than the mere letter. Let us be good in goodness and not merely in square rnot

 forced Queen Oh ristina to give

Hordes of en- plOyees are sent out from Spain, but their salaries are paid by the Cubans; they spend as little as possible and soon return to the another country" with their ac cumulations. With far more jus tice do the Cubans complain of this state of things than does the Pa cific coast against the Chinese, these at least perform some work for the money they take out Of the country, whereas the labor of the officials sent to fatten on the Cubans consists mainly of signing their names to the many docu- ments required 10 perform the simplest act. A thousand times more jus,iiction, more right, have they for throwing of the yoke of Spain than had the colonies of England which founded these United States of America.
