On the other hand, it may be asked.
Would a private corporation consider itself
In possession of Il surplus revenue from its
business, which it would be at liberty to
deal with its own pleasure, if it owed a
large sum of money on demand and still
larger sum of money subject to be paid on
demand within short period of time? No
sound business man could be found who
would affirm that, under such conditions.
a private corporation could make anv more
suitable use OF the revenue received in ex-
cess of It's necessary expenditure than to
apply 1t TO the payment of its debt due on
demand, and to prepare the way for max
ing payment of the debt soon to become
due at a date fixed
If this reasoning be applied to the pres
emf condition of the United States. it will
appear that the Government is not at the
present time in the possession of surplus
revenue in any true sense. 1t owes on de-
mand that sum of money which is repre-
sented by the evidences of debt, known as
legal tender notes, and commonly called
greenbaclxs.
In order to be able to pay these notes on
demand when demand is made, the treas
ury of the United States holds special
reserve of S10O,O0O.0OO in gold coin; but
the amount of notes due is, in round fig
ures, S350,000,000. The United States,
therefore, owes substantially $250,000, 600
on demand, for which it has as yet made
no specific provision either in gold coin, or
to any considerable extent even in silver
coin, which can be made available for such
payments.-Edacard AtEinson in the Popular
Science Monthly.

A Savage stallion,

A shocking occurrence took place yester-
day at Downham Market, near Lynn. A
laboring man named Robert StaiDes, Sin
the employ Of Thomas Robb, farmer, of
that place, was rolling in field with a
team, including an entire horse, which, as
it was in the habit of biting, was muzzled
Suddenly it turned round and made an at
tack upon the shaft horse, and in so doing
broke his muzzle. Staines went to quiet
the animals, when he was knocked down by
the stallion and crushed beneath its feet.
1t next plucked with its teeth at the fng-
ers of Staines' left hand and tore three of
them away, the hand being also much lac
Grated. 1t then got the poor fellows right
arm into its mouth and broke. crushed and
mashed it to frightful extent Just below
the elbow, and likewise dislocated his
shoulder Mr. Robb tried to get the horse
from Staines, and in 50 doing had three Of
his ribs fractured. A lad likewise rem
dered assistance and had his arm bitten
and the sinews drawn by the same brute
Staines was taken to the Lynn Hospital,
but he is scarcely expected to recover
For ten years ne had had charge of the
horse, which was Is years old, and it has
now been shot-PdH MoH Gazette.

THE NEW HOTEL DEL MONTE.
Its Formal Opening to be a Grand Affair
and Now Announced.

Its Formal Opening to be Grand Affair
and Now Announced.
Although the new Hotel del Monte has
been in an entire state of completion for
several months, there has been no formal
opening of the same, partly because the
new house has been generally full to over
flowing sirfce January. A formal opening,
however, has been decided upon, and the
Pacific improvement Company has author
lied Ben. 0. Thurman and Joseph D.
Redding to cooperate with Mr.. Scbone-
wald, and to formally open the Del Monte
in manner fitting its majestic presence
and widespread fame aud popularity.
These gentlemen, therefore, have decided
to make the 10Th and l7th of June memor-
able in the annals Of Del Monte. during
which festivities in the way of concerts.
ball and supper will constitute important
features. Mr.. Redding. who has composed
music for the occasion, and who will give
a concert in the diniGg-roOm during the
regular Saturday dinner-hour, has en-
ploved q band OF thirty pieces, which will
also furnish music at the ball following
and o concert at the pavilion sunday
morning, and at the hotel in the afternoon.
1t will be, undoubtedly, the most recherche
and feiciIOus event OF the kind that has
ever taken place in California, and it would
be well for all who contemplate partici-
pating in the coming grand frolic and en-
tertainment 10 write to the Manager OF Del
Monte at once and secure rooms tor the
occasion and we would further advise all
such to so down not later than Fridays
evening train, or the train that leaves San
Francisco at $50 Saturday morning. Ii
may be well to state here that the rates at
Del Monte have not been advanced but re-
man, as formerly, So = day aid upwards,
according to proportions and situation OF
apartments, and of course there will be no
additional expense to those who are pres
ent at this grand formal opening. The
bathing pavilion has been placed il excel
lent order, and will be open and furnished
with water from the sea every day. There
are two new bowling alleys -four in ALL and
three billiard tables, and private card and
refreshment-rooms at the enlarged club
house. The gardens and lawns and tennis
court have all been made more inviting
than ever before. The dining-loom has
seating capacity for $50 persons. The hotel
is furnished more beautifully and at greater
cost proportionately than before. All mod
ern Improvements known, electric and 9TH
erwise, have been introduced and the Del
Monte, like the most flashing gem in the
world, stands alone in superb brilliancy
and suDeriOrity

The Christian Attitude Toward Evolution

One who believes in the God of Christ
ianity is bound to believe that creation is
his work from end to end, that it is a ra-
tional work and the work of being who
is wholly good He is bound to believe
that Goods mercy is over all his works."
that "not 4 sparrow falls to the ground"
without his knowledge, that there are de-
sign and purpose everywhere. But he is
not bound to know or to say that he knows
what that purpose is, or to show that
marks of benetcence are everywhere appa-
rent. Still less is he bound to assert. as
the old theology did, that he can demon
strate the wisdom and goodness of God
from Natrre alone. Evolution starts with
an "act Of faith, postuiate OF our ra-
tional nature-viz, that everything is ra-
tional and has meaning, even that which
is ut present iIreducihie to law. In this
belief much which was once meaningless
becomes ineligible, and a scientific mans
faith is not staggered by the fact that
much as yet remains outside, which science
has not explained. On the moral side also
we start with an act of faith" postulate
Of our moral nature, that God is good and
cannot be the cause of meaningless and un-
necessary pain. And our faith Is not stag
gered by much which seems, as yet, like
useless suffering. Even if Darwin's mature
Judgment on the whole happiness decid-
edly prevails were not true, we should still
believe in the goodness of God, in spite of
all that seems to contradict it, and look
forward to the time when our children, or
our children's children, viii see clearly
what to us is dim or dark-P0puiar Science
