A HOT POTATO

Just as the little squabble began to
grow interesting the San suddenly pauses
in the midst of the game and announces
that it isn't going to play any more. With
its doll under its arm and its little red
wagon at its heels it has gone sulking
from the Fairgrounds. The only reason
it alleges for this step is that THELEADER
has made a personal attack on the editor
of the San. As a matter of fact we have
done nothing of the sort. We plead
guilty to calling public attention to the
personal and political motives which actu-
ated the Sun in its attacks on the county
commissioners, and we do not abate one
iot or title OF what we then said.
The ball was first set rolling by the
Sun. In a long article on the subject of
unequal taxation it made these inquiries:
rs it equal taxation when the commits
sloners sitting as a county board Of equal
iZation assess real estate upon a par value
basis and the live stock and railroads at a
30 per cent valuation2 Is it any less a
violation of the United States law on the
part of the commissioners because real es.
tate is left at their mercy and a restriction
is Illegally placed about other property
Equal taxation means all kinds of prop
erty shall be taxed proportionately ac-
cording to its value. Is it equal taxation
when land is assessed at its tulf valuation
and live stock at one half its value?'
This is a palpable attempt to cast the
whole responsibility of the assessment on
the Laramie county board OF commission
ers. We showed in the first place that
the assessment Olive stock was something
with which the Laramie board had moth
ing TO do. The legislature has given the
matter of assessable values for this class of
property into the hands of the chairmen
OF all the boards Of commissioners in the
territory. These gentlemen sitting as a
board fix such values. The assessment Of
railroad property is something with which
the Laramie county commissioners have
aver less to do. That business is also
done by an independent territorial board.
No one in his sober senses will claim
that 81 is not a so per cent valuation of
the average run of range cattle. From
$lS to $50 is the price usually realized
nowadays. The Sun, in a general way,
has CHARGED that real estate has been
assessed on a IS per cent valuation, but it
has not gone any further. 1t has never
shown a single instance of the sort, hence
it was about the best thing it could do to
crawl into its hole and call quits.
We are pleased to think that the San
is at last tolerably well satisfied with the
equalization.

Tho Native Army of India.


The imperial service-I use the express
sion recommended by the civil service
commissioners because it covers both the
civilians and the administering soldiers
have displayed for a century a rigid re-
spect for promises and perfect pecuniary
honor. Consequently, aided by the
rooted Indian idea, that, power being Of
God, any one, however hostile, may hon
orably serve a de facto ruler, they have
always been able to hire Indian agents of
all kinds-soldiers, policemen and minor
oficials-in any number required. That
power, however, gives them no foot
hold. AS 1857 showed, they have not
secured even the loyalty of the In
dian soldiers bound to them by
oath, and while actually Z in the
service, and outside the ranks of their
paid servants, they have nothing to de-
pend IN. There is no nation or tribe or
caste in India which is certain in the
hour of trial to stand by the white mans
side; which has, 80 TO speak, elected him
as ruler; which, were the garrison de
feated or withdrawn, could be trusted to
die rather than the empire should fall.
There Is no native army That the i'm
perial service-which is, / repeat, the
empire-could summon with confidence;
nj tribe whom they could arm en- masse;
no native city whose inhabitants would
risk a storm to protect them from being
slain. = Meredith Townsend in Fort
nightly Review.

HOW TO ECONOMIC LIFE.

While walking the streets of Palatka,
in Florida, the other day, overheard a
voice at prayer coming from crude
little chapel; l stepped inside. 1t was
a Wednesday afternoon prayer meet
ing in colored church, and a mother
in Israel was pouring forth her soul in
earnest though incoherent aspirations.
Many, perhaps most of the words, were
apoor, pathetic reaching after thoughts
which would not come, but every once
in while a nugget of pure gold would
drop from her lips such as an orator
might covet, and would make the heart
of poet glad. Among such rare SEN
fences was this: "Mars'r, teach us to
keep our own do steps clean, and then
from very shame ou' neighbors will
clean up der's." This touched the
core of the spiritual life, and 1 Joined
silently in the "Amens" which audibly
filled the room. 1 did not wonder that
that simple washer woman-for her
vocation came out in the prayer-was
lusty OF body and had face that look
ed as though it might be "auntie'' to
whole colony. If we want to econo-
mize life let us try to keep our own
doorsteps clean, and that kind of life
will spread like divine contagion; you
will carry in your face and eyes an
epidemic of holiness. Thoughts are
things" and a mean thought will
rankle and tester in the spirit, draining
and exhausting it like bite of a SER
pent in the flesh. Beware of the
thorns that wound the heart, the jeal-
ousies of society, and the facilitating
dread of public opinion. If you would
live out the maximum of your life, be
afraid of nobody but God; stand in the
divine sincerity that comes to souls
who seek to correct their own mistakes,
rather than to magnify or even adveI-
tise the mistakes of others. Neither
do condemn thee; go. sin no more"
Father, forgive them, for Nney know
not what they do" were the words of
him who knew 50 we'll the secret of
the divine economy.-Jenkia Loud
Jones, IN Chicago Mail.

the voice of truth and not with
weapons of war. We say to men God
is greater than his works; the lawgiver
is above law; the majesty of him who
governs, and the wisdom and love by
which he governs transcend the realms
In which his power is displayed, and
point our hope to the glorious consum-
nation which his omnipotence assures.
Brethren of the California Universal
iss Convention, our present strength
and organization may appear to afford
but poor assurance of the adequate
performance of the high duty thus in
dictated, but we are to encourage our
selves with the reflection that conse-
Grafton and faithfulness are invincible;
that one in the panoply of. truth is
mightier than thousands under the
banner of error. When Luther, single
handed, attacked and exposed the cor
ruptions of the papacy, it could hardly
have been foreseen that he would in
augurate religious revolution. When
Christ taught alone among the hills of
Galilee, with no countenance from the
rank, wealth or power of his time and
country, and with only small follow
ing of the humber class, there was no
reason to anticipate the vast results
that have followed. Our situation is
by no means so desperate as was that
of Jesus and Luther. Our own history
amply supplements the illustrations
just cited.
John Murray stood alone as the
herald of impartial grace, but what a
host of grand and faithful men and
women have rallied at his call and
given US century of victory. Though
but d handful in numbers we plant our
standard in this vast domain of the
Pacific slope, confident that thousands
will presently join US or follow after US
in proclaiming the fatherhood of God,
the brotherhood of man, and the ulti-
mate triumph of redeeming love.
With Wordsworth we affirm that:
"Mightier far
Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway
| OF magic potent of sun and stars,
| Is love-"
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-07-21

to the public whenever we appear be-
fore them to do our best" Such words
from the lips of Robert Hall meant a
great deal. They meant faithfulness
in study, ear1estness in prayer, and
thorough conservation to his work. 1t
is such self-surrender, such consecra-
ton of the best powers of the preacher
to the work of the ministry that will
make the sermon effective in its work.
The holy spirit working in the man,
and working through such consecrated
work, will make sermon a power for
Christian at Work.

STRENGTH OF THE HILLS.

Journeying through winding valleys,
by the railway train not long ago, the
rugged mountains on either side pierre
ing the blue depths beyond with their
lofty SUBMITS, we thought of the
psalmist's word: "The strength
[heights] of the hills is his Also"
Did he then speak only of nature?
We think not. There is a realm of
providence and grace, as we'll as of
nature. In this domain there are the
valleys, the uplands, the mountain
slopes, and the far-away peaks, whose
outlines gradually lose themselves in
distant space.
Human life is journey, not without
Irregularities and varieties of scene.
Unexpectedly we come to these on our
way. The tall mountain is just before
US, lifting its towering height into the
invisible and the unexplored. That
may be mountain of duty, or of trial.
But, whatever it may be, as we gaze
upward with anxious heart the words
OF faith may be ours: 1.-The heights
Of the hills are his Also" God is in
these distant places to protect and
bless, just as really as he is present in
the rugged mountain above us. We
are not for one moment to think that
he is absent from any of the circum-
staD ces of our life, whether of joy or
sorrow, of sunshine or cloud. And he
is not only present in them; he owns
them all; owns them in the sense of
using them for the good of his intel
ligent creatures.
When the thought once takes posses
sion of our souls that, in providence and
grace, "God is all and in ALL" that he
is as really present in what seems to us
difficult, distant, and obscure, as in
that which we call prosperous and self
evident; then we will come to place
of cody composure and security. We
will then say in the supreme agony of
our bereavement: 1.-THE Lord gave,
and the Lord hath taken away, blessed
be the name of the Lord" or, if the
trial be some ''thorn of the fesh,'
always with us to cause discomfort,
we will say the Lord "hath given" this
for beneicent purpose we
should not be exalted above measure;'
or, if some difficulties in the path of
duty confront US, looking upward even
to their utmost heights, we may see
our God holding them in his band,
controlling and mastering them all, SO
that the mountain shall become a
plain.
But this is not ALL There are hills
of prosperity, as well as of trial, in
every human life. There are many
more, indeed, of the former than of
the latter; only onr dull vision and in
gratitude of heart conceal them from
view. God dwells in these luminous
heights. The glory of his presence
fills them. He is there to make his
love manifest, to open before us the
excellency of his character of goodness
and tenderness. David saw him in the
hour of trial when he said: II will
lift up mine eyes unto the hills whence
cometh my help" But David saw
him also flooding his life with mercies.
and he cried out: "Bless the Lord, o
my soul. and all that is within me,
bless his holy name. For, as the heaven
is high above Che earth, 50 great is his
mercy toward them that fear him. y

Illustrative of Mr.. Longfellow's
early popularity, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
relates an amusing incident: ST remem-
Der one summer at Newport, Mr.. Long
fellows eyes had been troubling him con-
siderably, and his wife read his mail to
him. Among his many letters were some
from young ladies more enthusiastic
than discreet. They did not know, Of
course, that the missives went through
the hands of the lady. One of the letters
caused a great deal of merriment be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Longfellow, SO she
read it to me. The writer of the letter,
after expressing admiration for the poets
genius, said: i have never seen your
wife, Mr.. Longfellow, but 1 know that
she can't have the same sympathy and
love for you that hsve.'" Mr.. Long
fellow received a good many such auda-
ciously tender epistles before he grew
an elderly man.

-Thackeray said that he read the
novels OF the elder Dumas from sunrise to
sunset with the utmost contentment of
mind. 1t used to be the same with the Par
isisns, but recent statistics show that the
author OF Monte Cristo is no longer the de-
delight, even OF the common people, who
are generally the last to forsake once
popular writer. A weekly journal that
made a speciality of reproducing the
novels of Dumas and others, found that
its circulation did not increase.
