QUESTIONS coscgRE1NG CANDIDATES,

The following article is by Rev. John
B. Hill. publisher of the California Chris
tan AdUocate, San Francisco
When dissatisfaction was expressed at
the equivocal plank of the Republican
Convention on the Sunday law, and es-
pecialiy when the Convention voted down
and out with vim resolution that was
simply clear and unequivocal, and when
said Convention utterly ignored the tenn
perance sentiment which is agitating the
State In common with the whole country,
we are told to wait the utterances in the
canvass for that which would be an assur-
ance OF worthiness and ground of conf.
denoe on the part of the conscience of the
State. If it be true that Mr.. Estee has
declared, over his signature las l am told
he did,, that the wine. growers need have
no fear of any action adverse to their in.

that when any utterances ike the forego-

wise thing to let all our friends know ex-
sctly what is said, and by whom. No
hearsay or doubtful thing should be thus

Pearls Of Thought.

Kindness gives birth to kindness.

Duty cannot be plain in two divergine

Early and provident fear is the moth

Better break thy word than do worse
by keeping it.
Never reproach man with the faults
of his relatives.
All religion and all ethics are summed
up in Justice"

falsehood must reap as it sowed.
Be philosopher; but amid all youl
philosophy be man. f..

There are few things more productive
of evil in domestic life than a bad tenn
per. -5 ~
What is becoming is honest, and what
ever is honest must always be becoming
The irresolute never prosecute their
views SO long as they have any excuse
left for delaying.
The imprudent man reflects upon what
he has said; the wise man on what he
is going to say.
No one to whom it is misery to be
alone has well regulated mind and
heart
Envy is passion so full of coward
ice and shame that none have the conIi-
ence to own it.
/ A true and faithful friend is living
treasure, comfort in solitude and a
sanctuary in distress.
Speak always according to your con-
science, but let it be done in terms of
good nature, clvility and good manners.
Ignorance is one of those iufirmities
that are insensible; and, though it be
ever so desperately sick, feels no pain
or want of health.
Every young man should understand
that he should not care a button for his
likes and dislikcs, but should do what
ought TO be done, in spite of any disa-
greeableness. The lesson of self-denial
is far beyond any other in Importance.
1t must be repeated again. and again.

WHO is 1T?

Now, children, there's somebody coming
So try to think sharply and we'll;
And, when l get through with my story
Just see If his name you can tell.
His hair is as white as a snow-drift;
But then he is not very old,
His coat is of fur at this season:
The weather, you know, is SO cold.
He'll bring all the, children present -
The rich, and, hope, too, the poor;
Some say that he comes down the chin
ney:
think he comes in at the door.
His coat is all stuffed full of candy,
While all sorts of beautiful toys
You'll see sticking out of his pockets,
For girls just as well as for boys.
For girls he has dolls, muffs and pic
lures;
For boys he has skates, or a sled:
And some little boys l can tell of,
Who will take horses with them to bed.
And presents he brings for the mothers
And fathers and aunts with the rest:
But most he will bring for the children,
Because he likes little folks best.
l think you will know when you see
him,
He's dressed up so funny and queer;
And then you'll hear every one shouting,
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year."

THEcontest for United States Senator
in Nebraska promises to be an interest
ing one. Upon ajoint ballot in the leg
islature the Republican have II votes,
and the Democrats and Anti -Monopo-
lists combined have 80 votes. This
would apparently give the Republican
members the power to elect the senator.
But some of the Republican members re-
fuse to attend Republican senatorial
caucus. and therefore cannot be bound to
support any special Republican candi-
date. 1t is probable that the Democrats
and Anti -Monopolists will seek to divide
the Republicans by voting for some Re.
publican who sympathizes with the
Anti-Republican party.

A DISPATCH from Milwaukee says
that John F. Potter, a once noted men,
Der of Congress from Wisconsin, is dy-
ing at Muskwonage, Wis.,, and intim ates
that he is dying in great poverty. Mr.:
Potter's fame rests largely on his con-
trOversy with Roger A. Pryor, the fire.
eating member from Virginia, in the
stormy Congressional days just preced-
ing secession. During speech by Mr..
Lovejoy, of Illinois, in answer to Pryor,
the former crossed to the Democratic
side and spoke vehemently with his
clenched fist in threatening proximity to
Pryor's nose. There was general row,
in which thirty or forty members crowd
ed around the excited pair. Among
them was Potter, who said: "We list
ened to gentlemen upon the other side
for eight weeks, when they denounced
the members upon this side with violent
and offensive language. We listened TO
them quietly, and heard them through
and now, sir, this side shall be heard,
let the consequences be what they may"
Mr.. Pryor happened to see the words in
the reporters manuscript, and oblitera-
ted the last sentence. The matter came
up in the House on the 11th of April,
and led to an angry colloquy in which
Mr.. Potter reflected severely on the act
of Mr.. Pryor, and in answer to an in
quiry by the latter said he stood by the
spirit and text Of the erased words.
Pryor replied: al am glad to hear it.

liberty of constituting his remarks as /
please. ! will put what construction /
please upon it, and whether or not he
stands by 1t the sequel will demonstrate.
Let it demonstrate" said Mr.. Potter,
contemptuously, and there the matter
dropped, so far as the House was con-
cerned. H.
| When the House adjourned there was
excited discussion as TO the next phase
of the quarrel. That appeared in a
challenge from Pryor to Potter, which
was promptly accepted. The challenged
having the choice of weapons, Mr.. Pot
ter named bowie knives, the fight to
take place in locked room, and to con-
tinue until only one was lett to open the
door. Mr.. Pryor's second protested
against the conditions as .bsrbarous. but
Mr.. Potter was obdurate. He wanted no
boys play, and it should be fight to
the death, and in choosing bowie knives
hehad given his antagonist the advan-
tage of a Southern weapon. The cour-
age of the fire-eater cooled at such q
construction of "the CODE" and be igno-
miniously sneaked out of the affair.

A LADY's dress in New York attracts
attention from having 1,s0o buttons of
varying size, which consumed ten days
in the arranging and sewing on. On
each sleeve there are 100 buttons; on
the body, basque and collar $50. and on
the skirt 1900. Those on the skirt were
arranged in triangles, squares, crosses,
stars and other curious shapes, on a
foundation of black satin. The buttons
were all square, some rounded and others
fiat, and many Of them quite expensive.
The weight Of the garment is not stated.
