lacks those positive qualities which an
active interest and participation in the
great civil affairs of the country alone can
give, and that he has no special qualif-
cations for the Office, no experience in

ministration, yet they admit that he is
strong in the South, popular in the North
and obnoxious nowhere.

HEAVEN ON EARTH,
A Curious Colony of Communists in Washing
ton Territory.


Nine miles from Wala Walla is situated a
colonyo of Davisite Mormons They call their
organization the Kingdom of Heaven on
Earth. They believe that spirits return and
take upon themselves new bodies, and that
the spirits of Jesus Christ, John the Revelator,
John the Baptist, st. Peter and about half the
other old apostles, King David, Moses the law
giver, Abraham, Isaac and jacob, have re-
turned, been born over again and that they
now have those sacred children IN that colony,
and are only waiting for them to grow up
when they shall conquer the whole world.
They have sacred corral in which those chill
dren usually play, which none can enter with
out taking of their shoes.-Davis has "a
daughter about nine years of age who, it is
claimed IS the great eternal mother of spirits.
She is the mother of her fathers spirit-in
fact, Of all splrits-and is to be mated by her
father to her brother in the flesh, who Is the
great father of spirits. Davis claims to have
the power over life and death, that he, and all

but Davis holds the deeds, titles, &c. Most ot
them say that communism Is an lmpossibillty
and they would gladly get out of 1t if they
could do so satisfactorily, whish they cannot
do. They do not believe in marriage. They
argue that Jesus was neither married nor CIV.

Rev. w. III. II. Adams d. d., President OF
the Wesleyan University at Bloomington, has
an article under the above caption in late is
sue of the Urbana Herald, in which he says:
The personal items in such paper have a
healthy influence with the people, keeping
alive and warm felt interest in each other
Men and women are busy-full of care-hard
pressed with work. Their attention is largely
directed to ends that are more or less personal
and selfish They need to have their attention
called to their friends and neighbors and away
from themselves.

better methods are invented to relieve life OF
much of its drudgery and the masses are ele

of the follies both of faith and practice are tor

A good county paper that enters, or ought tc

perversions of youthful nature look exceeding

of our schools, the push and pleasantness Of
