The cause of temperance is making

wich there are more than four
hundred belonging to the Band of

No man is quite ready to begin
life on his own account until he has
plainly recognized that, after all, it is
not on his own account. Unless he
admits his undounded Indebtedness to
the Devine Hands, he is practically
without religion; and unless he ad-
mits debt, only less, to his fellow
man, he cannot be truly in harmony
with civilization. Every babe that is
born into the world comes into it
hopelessly bankrupt. Our first wall
is confession of insolvency at a
meeting of our preferred creditors.
We are not the heirs only, but the
debtors 'of all the ages We are all
born beggard with debt, on the silken
couch and under the golden canopy
of civilization. The very nobility of
mind that prompts us t. aeknow-
ledge this is an endowment from
countless ancestors. George w.

The manufactory of fish oil at Friday
Harbor is one of these bright pros
poets. Everything tends to show a
bright future. The extraction of
ammonia is being successfully carried
out, and the fish oils are of the finest
grades. The greatest difficulty en-
countered is the supply of fish; to
overcome this the enterprising pro-
prietors have purchased a small
steamer with which they propose to
visit the different fishing stations and
collect the fish, thus saving the time
of the fishermen. 4 grist mill is
also running at this factory, and the
islanders can now ship their grain by
the company's steamer and have it
ground at slight cost Cor. Seattle

The Catholic church in America is
entitled to credit for always throwing
its powerful influence against all ille-
| Ultimate efforts of labor organizations
to secure their rights at tho expense
of inflicting wrongs upon the rights
of all. When Cleveland was distur-
bed by labor troubles last year in the
shape of violence done to iaborers
who desired to work for wages re
jected by the unions, Bishop Gilrnour
said: ''Men unquestionably have the
right to band together and agree to
sell their labor at fair price within
the limits of Christian justice, and so
long as men act freely and concede
to others the same freedom they claim
for themselves, there is no sin in
labor banding together for self-pro
lection. But when men attempt to
forca others to work for given price
or by violence infict injury, the
church will lend all its efforts to crush
out ali such conduct.
