NEVER TOO LATE.
Interesting Gospel Service Last
Night IN the Big Tent.

A very large and attentive congregation
greeted the earnest preachers at the gos-
pei tent in the First ward last night. Rev.
Mr.. Pinson preached a forcible sermon
depicting the stealthy approaches of sin.
He said, II am told that dead man can
be cut up and not muscle will culver or
shrink. The man is dead and has no feel
ing. A live man will shrink at the scratch
of pin. So it is with sin. There was a
time when you first commenced to sin,
that your conscience hurt you. It said
don't do it; it is wrong. Then you were
morally alive. Now these sins don't hurt
you; you commit them daily and they don't
hurt yon, because you are morally dead.
Sin creeps upon men gradually, but after
a while it overwhelms them. But there is
hope for you. There is life in the skies;
there is life above. God will make you

The Pennsylvanla's Standing
Army.
The


Fn the pay rolls of the Pennsylvania
System of Railways there are constantly
the names of fifty thousand employees.
This army stretches from Chicago, St.
Louis and Cincinnati to Baltimore, Wash
ington, Philadelphia and New York. It's
members are in every city of the Middle
and Atlantic states, and at outposts from
San Francisco to Boston, st. Paul to New
Orleans. Five thousand are massed in
raha construction and repair shops at AL
, toona, Tree thousand are engaged in
similar work al other stations; the re-
Ymsinder in the construction and main
tenance of track, in the charge of stations,
in the conduct and running of trains, and
the clerks in the general offices would form
respectable brigade. That the problem
presented by the necessity for setu'-
ing a feeling of loyalty in and through
discipline of this army has been SUCCESS
fully solved by the Pennsylvania manage
ment, is manifest to any traveller over the
Pennsylvania lines who is at all observ
ant. 1t is evident in the solidity of track,
in the staunchness of equipment, in the
precision with which trains are run, in the
bright appearance and courtesy and firm
ness of action of the trainmen. Seeing is
believing and the next time you take an
eastern trip buy your tickets via the
Pennsylvania lines. Train No. 2 of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad carries

Perhaps we do not need to call the at.
tention Of the people of Yankton to the
outlook OF to-day. Generally speaking
they see and feel that they are about to
enter o season OF unexsmpled prosperity.
The evidences of this are all about them
and they cannot escape it's effects if they
would. Property is now in active de-
mand and the Indications are almost
positive that .thimA demand will soon
swell into what the speculative world
calls boom. This has been coming on
slowly since.a year ego when the first
ripple in the land movement agitated
the surface. From then until now there
has beena stiff demand anda steady
rise. Values are to-day more than
double what they were in last March
and sales are resisted rather than forced
There is little disposition
now to seek customers, whereas year
ago almost everything in the form ol
real estate was open to purchase. These
are ell healthful signs, They presage
thu coming Of an era OF prosperity whict
will be with us almost before We realize
it. Matters are now 80 shaping them
selves that this is inevitable. The same
conservative, cool headed policy whict
has characterized Yankton in the past
should be its future policy. Keep you,

Hon. Abraham Boynton, having de-
MED his interview with the st. Paul
Globe of February 18Th, in which he
gave away party plans against the peace
and dignity of Dakota territory, the in
terview is reproduced by the st, Paul
Pioneer Press. Mr.. Boynton, on that
occasion, said:
"Up to about week ago was conf
dent that Dakota would get an enabling
act this session for admission as one state
bus have lately received adviees from
Washington, that ere to me concluslye,
that nc definite action whatever will be
taken by congress this year. The reason
for this is the uncertainty that always
attends business as well as politics DUR
ing presidential year. In Dakota's
case it works something like this: Ii an
enabling act should be passed by this
congress it would likely provide for the
holding of constitutional convention,
say next June, and that would further
provide for the election OF state officers
| at the regular fell election and the whole
| machinery for state government as
soon es congress should breathe life into
| it. OF course there would be no pro-
vision in the enabling act for the cleo
tion of presidential electors, but what
is there to hinder their nomination and
election By the republican party, if they
should see fl SO to do7 In case the
presidential election should be close these
Dakota electors might fgure,an especi,
ally if the election should be determined
by en- electoral commission. These mer
down east don't propose TO take any
chances. The affairs OF. this world art
uncertain, at the best, end while Oleve-
/ land chances OF election are about as
near certainty as anything can well be
the Tasty managers do not propose &c
! run any risk whatever il they can help it
| My informers tell me that in case the
house passes any kindof M admission
bill that the senate will take it up and
pass it, too quick. Two years ago the
democrats in congress were ready to
admit Dakota as one state, but the re
pnblioans blocked the way. The honse
with its present complexion, is not going
to take any chance on admitting repub
lican states or giving them chance u
elect presidential electors"
