More than COnquerOrs."

a conqueror may compel submission,
but he can not compel love. The con-
quered nation may be filled with hatred
and thirst for revenge. Christ is more
than a conqueror, for he not merely
subdues his people under his sway, but
he draws out their affection to himself.
His enemies are thus changed into low
ing and devoted friends. The perse-
cutting Saul, breathing out threatenings
and slaughter and making havoc of the
church, became the devoted Apostle
Paul, TO whom to live was Christ"
The Christian is "more than a con.
queror." The tribulation, distress and
persecution but lead him all the closer
to Christ, so that he not merely submits
to these seeming ills, but he rejoices in
tribulation and actually thanks Christ
for sending it. The sting is taken out
of the persecution and the Christian
rejoices that he is counted worthy TO
suffer for Christ's sake. George Jetrey.

Doubling always makes men weaker,
Fear makes towards of us all;
But the true and earnest seeker
Knows no terror or no fall.
Life was never meant for dreaming,
Questioning how or asking when;
Now resolves and now mere seeming
Duty calls for earnest men.
Grid yourselves with strong endeavor;
Ever onward while you may;
Keepyou trust and hope forever
Gods own finger points the way.

ONE OF THE PIONEERS.

From the Topeka Daily Journal. Oct. Il, 1883.
The Buringame Chronicle, that excel
lent weekly Quarto which has been in
charge of j. n. Mcdonald for the past
four years, is quarter of a century old.
1t was founded by NJ. NJ. Murdoch, who
ran the paper nearly ten years, from
September Goth, 1868, to February, /.
1872, when it became the property OF W.
F. Chalfant, who in turn sold it to Hon.
John f. Rastall on the eth day of Sep
TENDER, 1887. Mr. Rastall, on April 26,
1883, sold out to G. IL Sheldon & Co.
On February Z, 1884, Mr.. Mcdonald pur-
chased the paper. When Mr.. Murdoch
established The Chronicle there was not
q mile of railroad in the state. Those
were stage coach days and as Murdoch
says in memorial letter" to The Chron-
icle, 'all the country west of Council
Grove and Cottonwood Falls was a vast
buffalo range. Hon. jacob Stotler nego-
tiated the project, and the bonds asked
by Mr.. Murdoch was two hundred sub
scribers at two dollars each. The saIuta-
tory in the first issue of the Chronicle,
which came out only month after
Qualtreli's infamous raid on Lawrence,
said that the paper would be ''Republi-
can in its broadcast, deepest sense and
on this basis the present editor of this
long established paper conducts it. The
only Kansas papers older than the Chron-
icle are the Atchison Champion, Leaven-
worth Times. Lawrence Journal, Troy
Chief, Emporia News and junction City
Union.
As the newspapers say Of the veteran
bride and groom celebrating a silver
wedding. so we say of the Chronicle and
of the editor at this quarter centennial
of its history, may they live long and
prosper and have many returns.

To the Editor of the EAGLE.
Will you kindly answer:
1. If the Third Party is not the Demo-
cratic instead of prohibition, why do
they work harder with their state ticket
to defeat the Republicans in states where
prohibition laws are enforced!
2. Why do they say of the Republican
party. they are anything to win, in the
face and eyes of a twenty-five years
record, which for purity and the best
interests of mankind, has never had an
equal ON Gods earth?
3. Why does the Third party profess
prohibition when they are at work for
the Democratic party and free whisky?
t. Does Botkin and the other Third
party boys get the same pay from the
Democrats that ST. John does?
5. Knowing, as Botkin does, that to do
his might to destroy the only reform
party in existence to the building up of
one whose record everybody knows TO be
opposed to the best interests of human
ity, is he less a traitor to the cause of
than was Judas Iscariot?
6. Why has Botkin's Democratic
party offered in certain instances to gov
eminent (Republican) employees if they
would interest themselves and take an
active part in the Prohibition Third
party, Notwithstanding they were Re-
publicans previously, they would be per-
mitted to retain their positions?
Very respectfully,
JOHN BINGERTY.
