THE NEXT ELECTION.

Professional politicians of the Dubois
stripe, M en- who cannot live without
holding Office, are already whooping
things up for the fall election. Dubois
BID asted in Lewiston recently that he
had everything fixed to give him the
nomination for delegate to congress on
the republican ticket, and that his anti
mormon crusade would guarantee his
election. We mistake the temper of
the republicans of Idaho territory il
they endorse any cut and dried
scheme to advance the personal interests
OF such a selfish and interruptions
politician as Dubois. The ''boss"
system of machine politics will not work
in Idaho, although it may control the
convention. The anti-mormon issue is
a fraud and humbug and any man
who runs for congress on that issue will
dig his own political grave. We rejoice
to sec disposition on the part of the
de mocratic press of southern Idaho to
take this anti-mormon bull by the
horns and expose it's true inwardness.
1t is only a bug-a.boo designed to
freighten old women-of both sexes
from their party allegiance, and the
republican party of this territory will
find itself heavily handicapped in the
ne xt campaign for the aid and comfort
it has given to the anti.mormon ele-
ment within its ranks.

The Brittle Christian.

Yes, | suppose such men and
women may be Christians, but very
brittle ones; that is, they break easy.
They are like packages of glass or ex-
plosives, and should be labeled, Handle
with care" Such Christians (if we can.
by great stretch of charity, call them
such) are constant trial to the pastor
and church, for they feel a dread when
obliged to say anything to them, or do
anything with them, akin to that eXpe-
rienced by one feeling his way in very
dangerous place in the dark. If by any
means the Sunday-school should vote
for one of these brittle brethren for SUI
perintendent, they almost hold their
breath when the vote is declared for
fear that it will not be unanimous; for
if it should not be the cross-grained
timber would begin to break and the
pieces fly in expressions like the follow
ing: - positively refuse to serve, and
| will have nothing to do with the Sun
day-school whatever" and the poor
fellow is entirely useless for one year
at least. If in preaching the minister
touches quite severely upon habits in
dulged in by some of these fractions
people, all the church anXiously watch
tnelr faces, and with sadness expect
their seats to be vacant and their con-
tributions to cease until they get a new
ministers or If, when any question is
before the church, a decision is rendered
contrary to the wishes of one of these
pieces of poor timber, he is broken and
useless, and the good people are grieved.
Now these brittle people are of but little
value, and great trial to the church.
Let us plead with you all, my dear
brethren, not to become one of them;
but if you are troubled with any of the
symptoms of this terrible disease of
brittleness, go, beseech you, immedi-
ately to the Great Physician and be
healed; take large doses of humility,
Christian forbearance and love, and you
will soon become much more useful,
and certainly more comfortable to work
with.-Morning Star.

how to take care of themselves. The
growing disposition to look to the gen
eral government for aid in every emer-
gency is symptom of disease; it is an
outgrowth of habits and principles con-
trary to the spirit of our institutions.
The tendency of good government is to
make government unnecessary, since
1t trains people to habits of industry,
self-reliance and order. The strong
and energetic love freedom. A social
state, in which the whole life of the in
dividual is absorbed and controlled by
some external ruling power, can seem
good only to the feeble and inactive;
and this is the aim of the modern So
cialists and their theories, which have
sprung from false and exaggerated
sentiment, or from lack of mental
soundness and breadth of view, and
are menace to all that is most healthy
ana manly in human nature and Chris
tan civilization. The end of society is
not to secure to all men the highest
possible amount of physical comfort
ana sensual enjoyment, but to give to
all men the best possible opportunities
OF developing their physical, intel
lectual, moral and esthetic endow-
ments, and this is done by stimulating
individual energy and by leaving the
highest prizes to be won by effort and
struggle. Paternal government is. no
doubt, best for children and slaves. but
the nobler races have preferred freedom
even to the tenderest care. -BishoD !.

Tests.

Gods tests of our Christian graces
and character act in two ways; they
prove the integrity of our purpose and
faith, and they verify to us his own
faithfulness. He is especially aiming
to do one thing for us; that is, to make
us sincere. Behold, thou desirest
truth in the inward parts; and in the
hidden part thou shalt make me to
know wisdom" His tests are all di-
rected to prove our secret self, for God
hates sham in everything-rather let
us say, he loves sincerity. "For the
righteous Lord loveth righteousness,
his countenance doth behold the up
right" He puts to proof our protesta-
tons of love for him and our promises
of obedience. After Peter had said:
= Though all men should be offended
because of thee, yet will never be Of
fended," his inmost heart was revealed
to himself by the test to which he was
brought, and he had occasion to weep
bitterly over his weakness. So is our
conservation, made, as we believe, in
all sincerity, put daily and hourly to
proof. Some of the most effective
tests are the seemingly insignificant
ones, and the most effectual often are
those known only to the soul alone
with God, which cannot have the help
of human sympathy. -Christian Ad-
rOcnte

Humility.

l believe the first test of truly great
man is his humility. l do not mean by
humility doubt of his own power, or
hesitation in speaking his opinions; but
right understanding of the relation
between what he can do and say, and
the rest of the worlds savings and do
ings. All great men not only know
their business, but usually know that
they know it; and are not only right in
their main opinions, but they usually
know that they are right in them, only
they do not think much of themselves
on that account. Arnolfo knows he
can build a good dome at Florence;
Albert Durer writes calmly to one who
has found fault with his work, " 1t cam
not be better done" Sir Isaac Newton
knows that he has worked out a prob
lem or two that would have puzzled
anybody else; only they do not expect
their fellow-men, therefore, to fall
down and worship them, They have a
curious undersense of powerlessness,
feeling that the greatness is not IN them,
but through them; that they could not
do or be anything else than God made
them-and they see something divine
and Godmade in every other man they
meet, and are endlessly, foolishly, in
credibly merciful.-John RuSkin.

Thoughts for the Old.

IL is weary to he old
For the world has lost its beauty and is strangely
drear and cold,
And the wine of life has vanished and its dregs alone
are left,
And the aged ones lonely, as they linger, sore
bereft
1t is dreary to be old
To outlive ones strength and beauty like story oft
retod;
Times and fashions change and weary people grow
beyond our reach;
Memory fails and footsteps falter; slow and STAN
mering grows the speech.
II is blessed to he old
For the draws the city, with its streets of
shining gold;
And the threads of life drop idly from the listless
idle hands,
While the daily listening for the keel upon
the sands.
1t is blessed to he old
For closely lies the future with its mani
fold,
There the dear are assembled, strangely draw
ing us to Gomez
1t is drear and lonely watingl it is blessed going
home. Selected.

No Socialism,.

Men and not measures are the first
need of every society, and therefore
all social schemes should look first to
the forming of true men. But, in
truth, only men create and educate
men, and one of the decisions of
the age is that this can be done by
some sort of mechanical continuance.
Hence we look to legislation and gov
eminent control to do what only vital
forces can effect, and after the failure
of each enactment some new scheme is
tried, until law itself is in danger of
falling into discredit. Better laws are
desirable, but true view of life is in
dispensable, and no state mechanism
can properly take care of full-grown
men and women who have not learned

JOHN V: OMITTED IN NEW VERSION.
We read a marvellous story
or n healing spring. its fame
Went abroad because an angel
AT times to the waters came.
Whether true or false the legend
or the cause Of its power to cure,
A record of this tradition
Remains and will long endure.
The picture suggests another,
SO true that none can deny:
An angel messenger, bearing
A commission from on high.
A blessed trio of angels
Abideth, Faith, Hope and Love;
But the last is crowned as greatest,
Gifted all others above.
The human heart seems a fountain
Where opposing currents meet;
Moved by the touch of this angel
Its bitter water Is sweet.
Love comes, a refining spirit,
To the eager soul of youth.
The heavenly vision awakens
High thoughts of honor and truth.
An angel troubles the waters
OF a cold, repellent heart;
Stirred in its deepest channels
Living streams Of feeling start
In each life the Transformation
Is wrought in different way
The trust of friend, child's love,
May alter its course for aye.
The wonder is oft repeated,
This work of Loves warm, strong hand
The touch that restores lost Eden
Is dgW DIvINELY PLANNED.
