Rev. Sam Jones on tire Tongue.

Many a woman viii stand by the
side of her husband when he is dead,
and with bleeding heart ask the
Lord to forgive every unkind word
she had ever spoken to him. I have
myself spoken unkindly to my wife,
and am sorry for it. She said it was
dyspepsia, but it was my own down
right meanness.
Never say thing unless you know
it is true. Never say anything un-
kindly of any one. Never say any
thing behind any ones back you
would not say to their face. If you
do you are slanderer-a buzzard,
that's what you are. The man that
steals my money is a gentleman and
Christian, beside the one who, with
a slanderous tongue, smirches the
character of some one. Let us watch
this tongue business. We talk too
much! Let us not lie down in q tongue
hell wish we could get our tongues
like that of Christ. He had a word
of comfort for every one. Wrong no
man with your tongue The best way
to keep from wronging any one is to
keep your mouth shut.

Unwilling to Make q Showing.

The New Orleans States says: 'sThe
most serious difficulty encountered
by the Executive COMMITTEES of the
citizens movement to reopen the Ex-
position, is the failure and unwilling
ness of the old Board of Management
to make statement and showing of
the financial condition of the EXPOSE.
ton. There is a very general desire
on the part of the public, who have a
right to know, what have been the
total gate receipts, the sums received
for privileges, for entry fees, and COM
missions on sales. The only informa-
ton the Board of Management have
deigned to give, SO far, was the amount
of their indebtedness to creditors
outside of Louisiana; and this had to
be extorted from them by the Federal
Government. The mystery surround
ing the financial affairs of the Expo
sition creates such distrust in the
community that it discourages citi-
zens, in measure, from contributing
as they would otherwise freely do"

Drinking Statistics.

A table prepared by the federal
council of Switzerland, compiled from
official sources, is interesting as show
ing the comparative consumption of
alcoholic drinks, per capita, Of the
principal nations of the world for
one year. It changes some precon-
ceived notions in regard tothe drink
ing habits of different nations
It was thought that the people of
the United States could be classed
among the most liberal consumers of
strong drink, but this table shows
comparatively they are but moderate
drinkers. They consume in year,
per capita. At quarts of spirits, %
quarts of wine, and 515 quarts of malt
liquor, while the people of Great
Britain and Ireland dispose or about
an equal amount of spirits and wine,
but go vastly ahead of the Ameri-
cans by using 1899 quarts of malt
liquor for every man, woman and
child in the realm.
Although it has been claimed that
the use of malt liquor was conducive
/ to temperance, inasmuch as it tended
to displace ardent spirits, yet it is
shown that while in Germany the con-
sumption of beer, per capita, is IS
quarts to 313 in the United States, the
amount of spirits used is u quarts
to At in this country. In Belgium,
which this table shows to be the
greatest beer drinking country in the
world, 1859 quarts are drunk, per
capita, each year, yet the relative
quantity of spirits consumed is greater
than in Germany and almost twice as
much as in the United States.
The reputation of France for tenn
perance, where it was said the wines
of the country had the effect of di-
minishing the percentage of spirits
used, is entirely ruined by the figures.
Her per capita of wine is 1871 quarts,
while of spirits it is 81, or nearly a
third more than that of the United
States. Statistics like these discour-
age the theory SO long maintained
that the use of beer and wine as
drinks supplants ardent spirits and
promotes temperance.

There have been great and good
things done by kings, and by men,
bers Of the political, social and intel
lectual aristocracy. Nevertheless, on
the whole, they have been, especially
delinquent for the past three centu-
ries, and continually becoming worse,
and even'more extensively delinquent
by neglect than by political criminal
ay. The greatest part Of the crimes
which darken the annals of history
may be traced to kings and their
associates in government. Their
ambition, their selfish policy, their
unjust and unnecessary wars their
disregard OF. the happiness of the
common people, their haughtinsss of
demeanor, their personal vices and
corruptiing example, have been the
fruitful causes OF misery and vice
among their subjects. They have re-
acted against themselves byproduc-
ing hatred and contempt OF thrones
and kings, Of authority and govern
nent. The aristocracy have followed
closely the royal example set before
them; andnow thsmasses are turning
against the men Of wealth, or as their
own leaders express it, against the
supremacy OF Cash

Saturday Night.

Pause my soul a week has endod,
One the less for thee below;
In this week there hath been blended
Hope and fear, and joy and woe.
Weary heart, sh0a canst not murmur,
Der the shy bow is east;
One week to thy hesven nearer,
One week nearer to thy last.
Pause, my soal week hath ended,
What hath IT'S record borne for thee7
Whom oppressed hath thou be9Yiendedi
Who the happier been for thee?
Hast thou love for hate reQnifed7
To thy neighbor vert thou true?
What, my soul, hast thou neglected.
What performed thou shouIdss not dol
Pause, my soull week hath en1ed.
Time Is bearing thee away;
Only for while extended
Is that life we live to-day
What may be upon the morrow,
God In mercy hides from thee,
But so hve-come joy or sorrow--
AS thy day thy strength shall be.

The gold product of the United
States for the year 1884, as estimat-
ed by the director of the mint, was
$50, 10000 an increase of $500, 900
over the previous year. The same
authority makes the silver output,
estimated at coinage rates.. &4S, $780,
900, an increase of $2,6OO,OOO over
1888, and the largest output ever
made in any one year. An estimate
from another source gives $50, $780,
600 as the approximate value of the
silver product. The total product of
the gold mines of the United States
since 184S, the year of the rich gold
discoveries in California, has been
81, 64s, 641, 532, an average of nearly
$44,600, 900 annually for 81 years
Previous to the discovery of gold in
California the total product since the
foundation of the country had only
been, according to eminent authority,
$13,243,475. The highest yield of
gold in any one year was $50, 200, 900
in 1853, and yet, s.s enormous as this
sum may appear, it has been nearly
doubled by Australia, which produc-

the opening of the famous Comstock
mine in Nevada, has been $3.50, 222,-

two metals for the past 36 years has
been s2,2ss,s6s,7s2. While the
average product of gold is on the

BASE BALL,
A Lively Game Between the omahas
and Union Pacific Shops CLUBS
Yesterday.

As will be seen by the score, given be-
low, quite lively and interesting game
OF base ball was played yesterday after
noon at Athletic park. The rejuvenated
and reorganizsd Omsbas crossed bats
with nine from the Union Pacific shops,
and it is conceded by every one who
was there that the contest gave more
satisfactory enjoyment and pleasure to the
spectators than any of the league games
played here. OF course the shop boys got
badly worsted, l3 to 3, but that was to
be expected when the fact was taken
Into consideration that msj jorlty of their
opponents are professionals in the busi
ness. However the shop boys showed
long nerves and did some very good
playing at all points OF the diamond The
Omahs's had among their number four of
the old Union Pacific club, and with
them the nine presented quite credit
able display of strength. 1t was 3 o'clock
when John Withnell, who acted as umpire
called time. and the two clubs took their
places, with the Onahas at the bat. The
fret and second innings were without
special features to create any laudations
over, but both clubs showed that they
were on their metal and meant business.
Neither made run. In the third inning,
however, the Omahas put their best ef-
forts to the front and run up three
scores. This break evidently Ia,tled the
shop boys somewhat, because in the next
inning they allowed their antagonists to
make FIVE runs, while they
were kept down to nothing,
until the seventh inning, ami then they
were only ono mark; and in the last in.
ming they managed to count up two more.
McCreary is to be credited with having
picked red hot ball out of the air with
one hand and put it to first in fine style,
and Salisbury distinguished himself with
one or two plays that elicltsd applause
from the spectators. Following is the
ectra of the came.
