"THE Democrats will make great
mistake" says the American Israelite
"if they pursuade themselves to believe
that any two gentlemen will do to an
tagonlze eflectually in the next Presi-
dental campaign Blaine and Logan. All
that talk about railroad manipulations,
liquor law, war policy, ETC., will amount
to very little in the aggregate. Mr..
Blaine is iirst-class statesman, who
has been sufficiently indicated by his
own State and the Republican party,
and has the mettle to create enthusiasm;
while Mr.. Logan proved an excellent
soldier and prominent Senator. If the
Democrats come before the country with
second rate men, they will be beaten,
whatever platform they may present.
There are to our knowledge very large
number of Independent citizens who, II
they will have to choose between Blaine
and any second-rate politician. will vote
for Blaine and Logan"

Sleeping the Sleep of Death.

Olivia J. Huitt was born Feb. 9Th,
1858, in jersey Co., H., and was the
only girl of a family of four children.
Her father. Elder y. Farrow, was a
Baptist minister of acknowledged abil-
ity. Her mother died when she was
very young. She early united with the
Baptist church and accepted the uni
versal doctrine of the Bible-cOnditiOn-
al immortality of the human soul, and
she has lived out her convictions, a con-
sistent and beautiful christian life.
What beautiful example for US who
are left behind, and may the holy intiu-
ence of her life and teachings follow
her children all through after life, and
be the means Of their salvation. L, her
husband, am comforted by the blessed
assurance that she will be among the
IA, 900 who shall sing new song and
who have kept all the commandments
of God and the testimony Of Jesus
Christ, which is the SPIRIT of Prophecy"
Though the way may seem dark and
gloomy, the light of blessed hope
shines across the troubled waters of life
and beckonS me on, and [ shall trust
the loved ones gone before in the city
'whose maker and builder is God"
Says Christ, 81 am the Truth, the Way
and the Life. Come We all that are
weary and heavy laden and will give
you rest" Blessed hope for me and
the four children left behind.

man who sold his honor to the saloon
