THE SECOND COMING.

A large and earnest body of clergy
men and Bible scholars was in session
in Chicago last week, from different
states in the Union. They represented
that portion of Christians who believe
in the second coming of Christ, and the
near advent of that period. They be-
lieve that the second coming will be
at time when wickedness and crime
predominates. They maintain that
while science has made great advance
ments in material things, and the civil
lied nations have been putting on a
more polished exterior, the christian
churches have become worldly, corrupt
and degenerate. That these things be-
token the period at hand spoken of in
prophecy, when anti-Christ is at its
height, the Messiah shall come in his
glory, bodily, " in like manner as he as.
cended up into heaven" These Advent
lists are not Millerities; they fix on no
date for the winding up of the present
affairs of this world; they are not illit-
crate, for among them are many we'll
known scholarly men of high standing
in the churches. They ask to be
judged by the rule, "prove all things;
hold fast that which is good"

RESULT IN THE STATE.

The result of the election in the state
is now official. Rusk's majority is
1878; two years ago it was 1920.
The Republican and Democratic par.
ties unitedly cast S4,O7O less votes
than in 1884. This is mostly attri-
bntable TO the labor vote and the in.
creased prohibition vote. The prohibi-
ton vote was 1854 more than in 1881.
The prohibition vote for DIN, Cover
nor, was 1859. The labor vote Go.
chrane), for Governor, was 21,44O.
The woman suffrage majority was 3d.
s64. The vote in the State was not a
full one. But few public meetings
were held prior to the election, CON-
pared with former years.

PATTERNING AFTER THE NO
BTIITY

The people of this country have been
in the practice of priding themselves
on the freedom OF our public men,
from the ostentatious displays of court
ly fashions seen in Europe. But in
these later years customs have been
changing; not only those in official
positions, but wealthy unofficials are
putting on airs and initiating the styles
of the nobility in foreign capitals.
Especially is this true of the city of
Washington more than of any other
city in the United States. A few years
ago Washington had as much Republi-
can simplicity as other cities, except
the occasional display of courtly turn
outs by the resident foreign ministers.
The people and the press in this coun.
try used to treat with ridicule these
apings of royalty by American eli tiz-
ems. AT the rate the pageantry of Eu
ropean aristocrecy is gaining, Wash
ington will soon equal London, Paris
and Vienna in courtly displays. Were
it only the rich who initiate the man
neIs of court circles, it might be less a
matter for criticism, but when officers
of our government follow the practices
of the privileged classes in the old
world, it becomes a questionable pro-
priety. A correspondent of the Chica-
go E0ening Journal describes the
Washington turnouts, which all who
have visited that city will readily rec
OgniZe as truthful:
=" Take ride down Pennsylvania
avenue any fine afternoon and you
will find it crowded with fine equipages
and liveried drivers. Many of the
turnouts are very handsome and costly.
The horses, of course, run up into the
thousands in value, and good carriage
costs thousand dollars. To do the
exquisite thing you must put not only
a liveried driver upon the box, but al
$50 footman in Il similar livery. 1t is
quite the fashion to have small foot
man and big driver. You often see
handsome carriages driven by large
and gorgeously dressed colored man,
with high hat, respondent livery and
white gloves, and beside him dimin-
utive colored lad, also in livery high
hat and white gloves. The last lad acts
as footman, and when the carriage
stops is down on the ground with the
agility of monkey and has the door
open in jiffy. The Secretary of War
occasionally gives the avenue a treat
with grand turnout of this sort,
English driver and footman. Senator
Stanford always has two stolid-faced
Englishmen on the box when he drives
out with his barouche. Secretary
Manning generally has two men on
the drivers seat when lie goes to and
from the Treasury. The President
occasionally has two men on the box
of his carriage"

CONGRESS.

The time is near at hand when Con-
gross will again be assembled at Wash
ington. The session will be short
one, as the official life of the present
Congress expires on the Sd of March
next. No business is ordinarily enter
ed upon earnestly until after the holt
days are fairly over, SO that but little
time will be given to legislation. No
measures of great Importance are like
ly to be acted upon; at least none are
being urged. 1t is noticed that a few
of the public journals favor devoting
this short session to the building up of
our navy and increasing our national
defences: We believe this to be an
uncalled-for expenditure of money.
The old doctrine which was once the
creed of every political party, in peace
prepare for war;" has ceased to have
force in nations where high order Of
intelligence governs. At peace with
all the nations of the world, yet pre-
pare to fight them all. Better would
it be for all nations to encourage dis
armament, rather than amendment.
When our nation adds to it's war de-
fences in time of peace, it very natur-
ally provokes others to do the same
thing. Human nature controls in ma.
tions very much as in individuals.
The man who arms himself for fight
is very likely to provoke a fight. If
one government increases its enginery
of war in time of peace, it provokes a
corr esponding preparation for hostil-
tiles in other quarters. The United
States have had no occasion for war
navy the last half century. Provoca-
lions for war are diminishing as ma
tional arbitraments are growing in
favor

this country as during the past year.
1t is reasonable now, as the year is
drawing to close, TO ask that the
books be balanced and the fact deter.
mined how much has been gained for
the Interests of the working men dur
ing the protracted strikes2 Have
wage-W0rkers secured an increase of
pay, and have their advantages been
permanently improved? Are their
families in a better condition to en-
counter the winter with a comfortable
supply of food and clothing? The
capitalists and employers have made
nothing out of the strikes, but have
been losers from the suspension of
their business operations. They are
generally class who can endure stag
nation in trade for a little season. 1t
must be conceded that workingmen
have the same right to band together
for their mutual benefit as the capital.
lists have to combine for the secure
ment of greater profits. There can be
no objection to the organization of any
class of persons for lawful purposes,
and not interfering with the rights of
others. But it must be apparent to
every careful observer that no plan of
combination has yet been devised and
put in operation which secures the OBJ
ject which the workingmen so much
desire. Their efforts thus far, however
well intentioned, have achieved no
permanent advantage, but have incur
red loss of time and money. The true
method to secure the right must ulti-
mately prevail, but it is clear that
strikes are not the remedy for rectify-
ing the evils complained of. Strikes
have been tried ON large and small
scales; they have, in few instances.
been attended with what seemed tenn.
porary success, but by far the greatest
number accomplished nothing endur.
ing. What is the true method of ad.
justing the difficulties between capital
and labor is as much an open question
to-day as a year ago.

SOMERS.

BliZzardly, somewhat, last week. A
heavy wind storm, quite rain, follow
ed by snow enough to whiten the
ground. and the thermometer half way
to zero Friday morning.
Some farmers were ploughing on
Saturday last, and could do so this week
Monday, but for the rain.
Rain is welcome: cisterns are replen-
ished, but stock water is absent in
sloughs, and many wells are quite low
some dry, and have been for months.
Pastures and meadows, as rule, are
fed quite short, and with an open win
ter some damage will result to new
seedlings, perhaps old meadows.
Mr.. Balm is in possession of the store
at the station he purchased of A. T.
Bishop.
Mr.. A. T. Bishop and family expect
TO start for Sutton. Nebraska, their
future home. Tuesday, this week. Mr..
Bishops sister, Mrs. Curtis, and family,
reside there.
Last week, Wednesday evening, Miss
Mary Phelps, daughter of Charles
Phelps, of Somers, and Mr.. Moore, OF
Mt. Pleasant, were married at her
home.
Week before last, Thursday and Fri
day, volunteers turned out and built
new sheds at the Methodist church,
sixteen in all; and that eye-sore tum-
Ole-down shed is no more. The L aides
Society aided, and, with subscrl ptions,
sufficient amount of monay was
raised. Teams can be uuder shelter
during services. A woodshed is to be
erected this week.
AS usual preparations are going on
for Thanksgiving.
Last Sunday morning, whilst the
small mau Peter was milking a cow at
Peter IngroVille's, the stable floor gave
way, throwing cows, man and floor all
in heap. Fortunately no bones were
broken. The sleepers, for some reason,
became weak and broke off.
Irving OZanne commenced his school
in the Evans district, Brighton, last
week, Monday.
Jas. Spence and family have taken
possession of their new house. 1t is
large, convenient, aud an ornament to
the street, well and substantially built.
May they long enjoy its comforts as a
house.
John Bethel and Will Burgess came
out to Somers on Saturday evening and
attended the Band meeting. John
Beffel attended the Methodist church
Sunday.

The glory of the merely rich man is
of short duration. 1t is noted that in
new biographical dictionary. con-
tanning 40 900 names, all the Roths-
childs and Astors put together receive
only as many lines as are accorded to
Harriet Beecher Stowe. Cornelius
Vanderbilt receives less attention than
Paganini and A. T. Stewart, and no
more than Daniel Lambert, the fat
man. Even the three rich benefactors
-Girard, George Peabody and Sir
Moses Montefore- united, take less
room than John Wesley or Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
The foregoing suggestive paragraph
is found in the columns of the Milwau-
kee Sentinel. The impotency of wealth
to perpetuate the memory of individu-
ais for only brief period, after the
termination of human life, has been
proven in all the generations of the
past. Among the many examples, a
notable illustration was given over
sixty years ago. The daughter of a
millionaire died and was buried in that
beautiful city of the dead, Greenwood
cemetery. The fond father was re-
solved to preserve her memory afresh
through long years, and caused to be
erected over her grave a costly and
deliberately finished monument, and in
addition guard was employed to
watch the monument, not for the
purpose of protecting it from in-
jury, but as sentiment of honor and
respect for the loved one. Strangers
visiting Greenwood were wont to stop
a few moments, and on reading the
inscription would ask the sentinel who
was Charlotte -- What did she
do to entitle her memory to such ex.
traordinary respect?" The sentinel on
guard could only make reply, She was
the daughter of wealthy merchant in
New York" "Is that all, the visitor
would say, and pass on as little inter-
ested in the dead sleeper as if the
monument had been over the grave of
Bridget O'Flannigan, whose only his
tory might be that she was good
washer.
People who earnestly strive to acc1-
mulate riches, thinking that alone will
give them name and perpetuate their
memory long after they pass from
earth, are sadly mistaken. Unless
there be associated with the life noble
acts calculated to benefit the race and
uplift humanity, the rich mans men,
DRY is cherished but little, if any, more
than that of the man who dies poor.
1t should be every man and woman's
ambition to leave some monument for
the good of mankind; noble acts will
live in memory long after a money re-
putation is forgotten.
