took every hedge and ditch beautifully, and

CLOSE AND EXCITING CONTEST.
1t was race between two full blooded

American, and the other by Chilian.
Naturally. our desire was to see the Ameri-

as they came flying towards the wire until It
seemed certain that We had won, but Just at the
end the other horse made two or three beauti-
full springs and got his nose In ahead Although
we felt badly to see our favorite beaten, could
not help but cheer with the rest to see the other
noble little horse do his duty 80 beautifully. The
only thing we Americans had to console Us was
that the jockey Of the winning horse was an
American; 1:4A was the best time made. After
the races We were all pretty tired and glad to 20

They demand no other faith In order to baptism
and church membership than the faith of the
heart in Jesus as the Christ the Son of the
Living God. They require assent to no theory
OF regeneration or spiritual influence, and sub
mlt no other tests but faith and repentance in
admitting persons to baptism and church mem
bfrship. They celebrate the Lords Supper
every Sunday as a part Of the regular worship
and NOT al an awful sacrament, but as a solemn

creeds; faith In Christ against faith in systems
OF theology; obedience to Christ rather than
obedience to church authority; the Church of

ing the results Of an investigation in

conclusion that every cup of coffee
made from the colored Leans, which
are put up on the market as Java,
contains one siXtieth of a grain of ar
senious acid, which is a virulent poi
son. Mr.. Arnold, President of the
Coffee Exchange, in and interview
said that while it was perfectly well
known that coffee was colored and
polished for the purpose of making it
more saleable and possibly for purro-
ses of deception the general belief in
the cUtie trade was that no deleterious
ingredients were used in the process
es. Some of the small retail dealers
do not know the difference between
pure and adulterated coffee them
selves, but the best grocers are de-
ceiving their customers"

In the report of Mr. Stewart, of
Texas, accompanying bill he has
prepared for Congress he says:
"The idea of building a railway
from the United states TO the Argcn-
tine Republic is somewhat startling
to those who have never given the
subject thought, and little rehcc-
ton will convince anyone that no in
superablc obstacle is in the way OF
such an enterprise. A railroad from
some point in Texas or elsewhere in
this country where connection is
formed with the railway system Of
the United States to the City of Mex
leo, and thence through the Republic
of Mexto and Central America and
along the Isthmus Of Darien, passing
along the east of the Andes, through
South America to the Argentine Re
public. would meet with but few nat
ural 0bstcles in the way of its con-
structiOn, and the distance will not
exceed $500 miles, and it may be
shortened TO 6,G0J miles by commence
ing its construction at the City of
Mexico, where it will connect with
roads already built and in process Of
construction. lie says that when
such a railroad is constructed our
commerce will be enlarged to such
an extent as at this time to defy any
thing like correct estimate of its
value, and then we will be in a posi-
ton TO say the European govern
ments in the remarkable words of
President Monroe. that we should
consider any attempt on their part to
extend their system to any portion of
the hemisphere as dangerous to our
peace and safety. The capital with
which the road is to be built and OPP
Grated must be protected by the
pledged faith and proper guarantees
of all governments that may be inter-
ested in the building and maintain
ance of the colossal enterprise"

A Vote i'm the Dark.

# Some good democrats who are not
blind to the moral and intellectual weak
ness of the candidate of their party, are
still reluctant to vote for General Butler.
They are unwilling to throw away their
votes, to vote in the air as it is called. S
As matter Of fact, nobody will throw
away his vote in voting for g neral
Butler. The ballots for him will all be
counted, and there will be great many
Of them. Bnt many or few, each one of
them is a proper and manly protest
against the unworthy candidates whom
the two most prominent political parties
have set up. A Conscientious man need
not concern himself because he is unable
to vote for the success full candidate; it
is enough that he has not voted for an
unworthy one.
But if vote for Butler is vote in the
air, vote for Cleveland is vote in the
dark. Nobody knows what Cleveland
stands for or what his opinions are. ne
doesn't dare to have opinions. His man
