this famine struck world. The King
has ordered that we be lifted into the
wagons, and that we go over into
Goshen, where there shall be pasturage
for our largest flock of JOY, and then we
will drive up to the palace, where there
are glories awaiting us which will melt
all the snow of Egyptian marble into
forgetfulness.
WE WILL sER OUR FRIENDS AGAIN.
Think that the Kings wagons will
take us up to see our lost friends.
Jacobs chief anticipation was not seeing
the Nile, nor of seeing the long colon
nades of architectural beauty, nor of
seeing the throne-room. There was q
focus to all this journeyings, to all his
anticipations, and that was Joseph.
Well, my friends, I do not think Heaven
would be worth much if our brother
Jesus was not there. If there were two
Heavens, the one with all pomp and
paraphernalia of an eternal monarchy,
But no Christ, and the other were plain
Heaven, humbly matched, with few
daisies in the yard, and Christ were
there, I would say, LET the Kings
wagons take me up to the old farm
house.
IfJesus were not in Heaven, there
would be no music there; there would be
but few people there; they would be of
looking for the lost Christ, crying
through the universe: Where is Jesus?
where is Jesus?' and after they had
found Him. with loving violence they
! would take Him and bear Him through
the gates; and it would be the greatest
day known in Heaven within the mem
DRY of the oldest inhabitant. Jesus
never went off from Heaven but once,

COLLINS w1LL PRESIDE.
No Oppositien Made 60 His selec-
 Hon.

No Opposition Made to His selec-
 ton.
 ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The rumors that 8 formidable show of opposition would be made to the appointment of General Patrick A. Collins of Boston as permanent chairman of the convention were quickly denied this evening when the committee on organization assembled It had been reported that Wat terson would be pushed for the place. The committee proceeded first with it's own or ganization before taking up that of the con- vention. L. B. Cassiday of Pennsylvania was made chairman of the committee and John B. Castleton obtained the post of geo. retary. Then it became evident that no con test against Collins was to be waged, the un- derstanding being that Watterson had per- emptorily declined to allow his name to be used. The nomination of Collins was made by Dr. Hanrahan of Vermont. Mir. Castle ton of Kentucky seconded MT. Collins name and he was selected unanimously for recommendation to the convention. H. H. Ingerson was selected without opposition as the committees choice for the conventions permanent secretary. Prince, the temporary secretary, and all his assistants were retained for the permanent organization as MT. Ingersoll's helpers. A matter that may prove to be of no less impor- tance in exciting moments of the convention than the choice of permanent chairman then came before the committee; it was the adop- ton of rules to govern the great assembly. After some discussion the suggestion made to-day in the convention by Governor Greene of New Jersey was acquiesced in. This was to adopt the rules of the last national Demo- cratic convention with the significant addition that during the roll call no State having ru0 fa5 ah all ka all kr,n n6o ka vnta until other States have voted. The commit tee hold another meeting tomorrow morning to put it's action into formal shape for the convention.

crimes expressly named in suck treaty and that the provisions of the same shall in no wise extend to political or agrarian affairs.
 Mr. Clark, of Texas, addressed the com mittee at length, urging the insertion of a specific declaration in the platform upon the question of prohibition. Mir. Clark said that although the recent prohibition movement in that State was defeated by & majority of 95,eO0, yet the issue was not dead and would be productive of serious dis affection from the ranks of the party unless such clause were inserted in the res- olutions as would indicate clearly the opposi- tion of the party to prohibitive legislation. The phrase fsumptuary laws" as used in the platform of 1884 was not explicit enough. Mr. Clark expressed the belief that an une- quivocal statement would afford the Demo crats fighting chance in the Empire State as we'll as in Texas.
 Mir. Hurst, of Nevada, presented resolu- tions favoring the unlimited coinage of Amer ican silver and the issue of certificates for silver deposited in the national treasury. MT. Dymond presented a resolution favoring the total or partial reduction of internal revenue taxation, and Mir. Turpie presented resolution, which created some merriment, fayoring the amendment of the civil service laws so that worthy and qualified applicants from the victorious party be selected for office. The committee then went into executive session for consideration of the platform. MT. Watterson says the commit tee will doubtless sit all night and the opin- ion of the members at this hour is that only the utmost exertions can enable them to re- port at o'clock tomorrow morning.
