Conditional Immortality.
In. Y. Herald.l

Eschatology, or the doctrine of lase
things, has Of late years been engaging,
more than perhaps at any former period,
the thinking men of the different religious
denominations. or the doctrine called
conditional Immortality" DR.. Edward
White, Of London, is the foremost cham.
pion. In season and out Of season, In pull.
pit and on platform, wherever and when.
ever he finds an opportunity, he proclaims
his pet belief: "Life for the righteous;
death for the ungodly." To those who are
Gin Christ" life is promised, but to no
others. Mr.. White has o prosperous con-
gregation at his back, and he has con-
siderable following outside OF his own con.
gregation, both in England and America.
The apostle OF conditional" views Of eter-
nal life, 1t is felt, is too persistent, and ho
Is making many enemies. He has quite
recently set forth claims which would
seem to imply that the intellect of the
churches was on his side. He has claimed
too much, and not few of those whom he
set down as being "conditionalists"i are
now repudlating the connection. Mr.. Ed.
ward White seems 10 know and have an
assured knowledge Of what, properly
speaking, comes w;thin the domain Of
taith.

move, nor vary at all. Conscience speaks
lowest when 1t ought to speak loudest.
The worst man Is least troubled by his
conscience. 1t is like lamp that goes out
in the thickest darkness. Therefore we
need, as believe, a revelation of the truth
and goodness and beauty outside of our
selves to which we may bring our con-
sciences, that they may be enlightened
and set right
All, brethren, these groups which we have
been looking at now, let US see how very
little help and sympathy wounded con-
science can get from its fellows. The con-
spirators turn upon each other as soon as
the detectives are amongst them, and there
is always one Of them ready to go into the
witness box and swear away the lives Of
the others to save his own neck. Wolves
tear sick wolves to pieces. Round us there
stands Society, pitiless and stern, and
Nature, rigid and implacable, not to be be-
sought, not to be turned. And when we,
in the midst of this universe of fixed law
and cause and consequence, wall out: ~
have sinned," thousand voices say to
us: "What is that to usf See thou to
that"
And so am left without my guilt-it
and together; and there comes One with
outstretched, wounded hands, and says:
"Cast all thy burden upon me, and / will
free thee from it ALL" "Surely He hath
borne our griefs and carried our sor-
rows"
Trust in Him, in His great sacrifice, and
you will find that His innocent blood will
be power that will liberate your con.
science from its torpors, its vain excuses,
its agony and despair.

A BATTLE OF ANTS.
A Terrible Fight Between Rival Tribes.
Denver News.1


A number of persons were standing in
front of the City Hall, Denver, the other
afternoon. A large number Of ants were
noticed running about on the steps and
ground, constantly augmented by numbers
from unknown quarters. Examinationre-
vealed the fact tha, the ants were winged
on were tumbling from the air. Further
investigation showed that the ants were of
two species, and that battle begun in the
mir was raging on the ground. One of the
species of the warning insects was large
and red, with wings the size of a house fly;
the other was a small red ant, with black
heal and small wings. They were in SUI
perior numbers and attacked d their enemies
by twos, fours and scores. Several balls

seen single combats, the small ants in
every case victorious. Those that were

the ground until one or the other was van.

But as a general thing they fell TO the
ground and at once prepared for battle.
Each side was under leaders, who massed
their forces and marched them with mill
tary precision upon the foe. Skirmish
lines were thrown out The lines ad-
vanced, retreated, advanced again, and
then the battle became general. Therul

awhile, but before the fight was over 1t

ants were In the majority, but their oppo-
nents were giants. compared with them,
and they crushed the plgmies in their
strong ma1dibles as an alligator would o
gnat.
For at least half an hour the battle ragged.
The ground was thick with the dead and
the dying, the latter being dispatched
wherever found. At last the giants were
routed. They fed ignominiously, pursued
by the pigmies, who slaughtered them by
scores while In full retreat, some flying,

any noise the spectators were not aware
of it, II the vanquished were.

GOV, NV. rHRockMoRToN.

Should Texas be given representa-
tive In President-elect CLEvELAHD's
cabinet, no better or more suitable Sc
lection could be made than this distin-
guished gentleman whose name heads
this article. Gov. THRocKMoRToN has
been in public life for more than quar-
ter Of a century, and both his public q,
private career have been without q stain
or BILE mis1. To no citizen of the state
do the people Of Texas owe greater graft
tude for the growth and development
of this commonwealth than to him.
As member Of the legislature some
thirty years ago, hc advocated
and shaped tho legislation that has since
given us such magnificent system Of
railroads throughout our domain. AS
governor of the state he outlined the
wise policy that has since developed the
rich resources of Texas more rapidly
thin any other state in the Union.
While in congress he has done more to
settle the vexed Indian question on our
western frontier than any other repre-
sentative in that BODY. At all times
and under all circumstances lie has been

de, faithful in all things and wantiDgin

OfIutercst to Texas.

WASHINGTON, Doc. ST. Special. l-The
Galveston deep water committee, con-
sisting of Moody, Gresham, Skinner and
Thorn pson, arrived to-day to push the
Eads bill. They claim TO ne confident
OF obtaining substantial results. There
ia going TO be several strong counter
workers, however, and thesuccess Of the
measure is very problematical, at least.
In this connection the river and harbor
committee to-day agreed to report in ia
vor OF 100000 appropriation this year
for Arkansas Pass, and $l25,000 for Sabine
Pass; nothing for Brownsville.
la answer to Il multitude of inquiries
from Texas, it may be said the bank
ruptcy will hardly be taken up this ses-
sion. A strong effort is being made to
get a day set for it. A count of the
house shows that 1t lacks fifteen votes to
take it up.
The entire Texas delegation continued
to be overwhelmed with applications for
offices under the new administration.
In discussion of tho Reagan billto-day
Mr. Reagan modified his motion for the
adoption of his substitute for the COM
mittee bill. If the present motion pre-
walls, it will give Judge Reagan sub
stantial victory for the bill on which he
has SO long lsbored.

LITTLE Re, X, Dec. S.-The robbery of
tho train on the Little Rock, Mis-
sissippi River d Texas railroad,
Saturday night, has continued
to be the all-absorbing topic
of conversation. The names Of the
with the exception OF Campbell, were
those of the robbers. Cook the
leader, to-day made full con-
fession, and saws his associates
were Clifford King and Adolphus Par
ker, a boy of IL. Ten watches and
about $500 Of the stolen money
have been received. There were on y
four of the robbers. All have
been captured except Frank
Kline. He was formerly
a citizen of Memphis, and employed in
the shops of 0 Vance street railway
line. 1t is not believed all of the property
has been recovered.

LOUISVILLE, NY, Dec. 9.-T. j. Miller
and G. w. Musician, proprietors of the
Coon Hollow dislillery, of Nelson
county, have been arrested by revenue
officers, charged with gaining access to
the government warehouse IN tho alb
sence OF the proper authorities, and re-
moving whisky, on which the tax had
not been paii. Coon Hollow distillery
burned about "A month ago with a large
quantity OF whisky. Before burning the
revCnuo officers began investigating the
alleged crooked work. which resulted in
the above arrests. Miller and Musician
are both wealthy, and their arrest has
caused a sensation in Nelson county
and here, where they have been brought
for trial. II il now thought the distil
lery was set on fire, and sensational de-
velopments arc expected. The whisky
burned was valued ut $40 600.

RETRENCRMEN

The repeated failures of heavy firms
and the general scarcity OF money give
rather q squslly appearance to.the iinan-
cial skies, and many predict winter OF
unusual tightness. The HERALD can
not yet see the prospect OF the great dis
tress so apprehended, but can neverthe-
less perceive the necessity for great pru-
dence in tho management OF both pri-
vate and public affairs at this era.
The old cry of over-production is again
raised, but to the people of Texas it
would seem that short croppage is the
cause most nearly affecting our inter-
ests. If we have nothing to sell with
which to get money, neither debts can
can be paid nor extravaganza INDUCED
in. There is but one method Of
meeting the emergency-thato OF reefing
sales and putting the ship in order.
The tendency of the past few years has
been towards personal and state reck-
lessness of expenditure, social rivalry,
increase of the value OF real estate and
a departure generally from the modes
of Republican simplicity of life are
working out their usual results and the
rational man sees no way of avoiding
hard times, except in retrenchinent.
The various modes of accomplishing
this are too patent TO JUSTLY detailed
enumeration, but il occurs to the aver
age mind that if people would walk
more and drop the idea ol fine equipages,
banquet less and work more, stay Mt
home and abandon tours, DO contentod
to live on strong, rather than
rich diet, wear clothes that
are comfortable rather than
cut from royal purple and in general
consent TO one year OF close attention to
business instead Of pleasure, Il very dil-
iereut outlook would be when congress
shall meet in December, 1885.
AS before limited, there does appear
sufficient cause for the alarm occasioned
by this prospective panic. 1t is not to
the interests OF the great money holders
that commercial commissions should oc-
cur. MIR. GOULD has 4lready shown his
convictions by the purchase Of $1,000
tons of steel rails. Nor does this couiI-
selled retrenchment as to what Repub
iicans have been practicing 30
long apply to national affairs. The
in the treasury iustifies jul
dicious and liberal appropriations. BY
this means, and carefully avoiding wild
legislation for distributing public treas
ure, the wants of the mechanic, mer-
chant, farmer, and indeed all manner of
active workers, will be met and supplied.
Care in private matters, retrenchmept
from kitchen to hall, and when this gar
nered wealth of the people is cast upon
tho waters 1t will be waited TO the doors |
Of the humblest citizen, as it meets aud
bears off the incoming crop.
