Again we must look to Christ as our final
rescue. We cannot with these eyes, however
good our sight may be, catch glimpse Of
the heavenly land for which our souls long,
But have no more doubt that beyond the
cold river there is a place of glory and of
rest, than we have that across the Atlantic
Ocean there is another continent But the
heavenly land and this land stand in mighty
contrast. This is baTrenness and that YER
dure. These shallow streams of earth which
a thirsty OK might drink dry OF mules
hoof trample into mire, compared with the
bright crystalline river from under the
throne, on the banks of which river the ar
mics of heaven may rest, and into whose clear
flood the trees of life dip their branches.
These instruments Of earthly music, SO
easily raclted into discord, compared with the
harps that thrill with eternal raptures and
the trumpets that are so musical that they
wake the dead. These streets along which
we go painting In summer heat or shivering
in winters cold, and the poor man carries his
burden and the vagrant asks for aims, and
along which shuttle the feet of pain and want
and woe, compared with those streets that
sound forever with the feet of joy and holt
ness, and those walls made out of all manner
of precious stones, the light intershot with re-
Elections from jasper and chrysolite and
topaz and sardonyx and beryl and emerald
and chrysoprasus.
On, the contrast between this world, where
we struggle with temptation that will not
be conquered, and that world where it is per-
feet joy, perfect holiness and perfect restl

THAT PROJECTION.

Our good brother of the Journal
who has been preaching protection
to American Industries and Ameri-
can labor" for the past years, has
about come to the conclusion that
too much protection is about to spoil
his broth. Listen TO him:
And now the ARous Is mad because II says
that John Wanamaker buys where he can buy
the cheapest. We suppose our contemporary
wants the merchant. because he Is IA Protection
list. TO buy where he can buy the dearest.
The above is good Democracy.
The Journal admits that it is right
for John Wanamaker and other
theoretical prohibitionists to buy
where they can buy the cheapest,
and scolds the ARGUS in q fatherly
way for asking the millionaire mer-
chants to practice what they preach.
1t will be observed that while the
Journal believes that John Wanna
maker should be allowed to buy
where he can buy the cheapest, it is
not willing to accord that privilege
to the laboringman. This is one of
the tenets of the Republican party,
however, which they hold sacred.
The millionaire has rights which the
Republican party must respect, and
that is, that he has license to fleece
the poor laboringman whenever he
elects. Right here is where the
Journal and ARGUS differ in the
theory of protection. The Journal
thinks it is all right for the rich
merchant or manufacturer to buy
where they can buy the cheapest,
but believes it is against the best
interest Of American industries and
American labor" to allow the poor
man to buy where he can buy the
cheapest. The ARGUS believes diff
ferent-believes just the opposite,
and is willing to leave that impor-
tant question to the great army of
wage-workers to decide. 1t has no
fear of the result if left to them.
The position of the ARGUS is to let
the poor man buy where he can buy
the necessaries of life cheapest Us
well as the millionaire. What OBJ
Section have you to that, dear Jour
nal?

noticed letter from Pleasant
district signed "Soldier," in which
the writer seems anxious to assist
General Golf into the gubernatorial
chair at the "point of the bayonet. :"
That sounds brave on paper, but
any old soldier who has seen service
other than stealing chickens, has
forgotten the late unpleasantness
and is willing to let people vote as
they please. We do not know the
writer of the article referred to, but
we will venture the assertion that
he never "smelled powder" in his
life unless it was when he shot his
neighbor's chickens to keep him
from starving. The Journal lends
itself, week after week, to such trash
and seems to glory in the articles.
That may be good journalism and
patriotism--to the Republican cause
for aught we know, but it is hard
to believe that county like Preston
should have an editor who constant
ly puts himself and paper on the
level of "blood and thunder" stay
at-home- "Soldier.
The writer is an cold soldier"
and he is heartily sick of seeing
such trash in our county papers.
Why not, il possible, allow our
children to grow up ignorant of the
fact that this country of ours had
ever been convulsed with war. For
the sake of deconcy let such articles
be forever kept out of print.
We are heartily in favor of Gen.
Golf taking his seat if honestly
elected, but we believe that the ma
jority cast for him was purchased
and fraudulent.

THE OBsTRUCTIYE TARIFF.

A full million barrels Of Ameri-
can apples will be exported this
season chiefly to England. Sup
pose that this vast quantity Of fruit
had been dependent solely upon the
"home market" for it's sale. what
would the rest Of the crop have been
worth? The prices obtained wouldn' I
have paid for the picking. But for
the foreign market the growers Of
American fruit, grain, pork and
beef would have a sorry time Of IT,.
The home market can't begin 70
to take mp their crops-they must
have an outside demand-and it
would be a great deal larger and
more profitable but for restrictions
put upon trade by our tariff system.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
April l, 1899.

Have Harrison and Blaine any in
fuence with the Republican Senate?
If SO, how much? Since the SEN
ate, by the very decisive vote Of 20
to 10, rejected the nomination of
Murat Halstead to be minister to
Germany. these questions have been
asked on every hand and many an
swers given. 1t is we'll known here
that Harrison and Blaine took oc-
casion to inform every Republican
Senator that they were very deeply
interested in Halstead's confirma-
ton, and yet the Senate voted against
his confirmation, only nineteen IA
voring it, and two of them were
Democrats. Therefore the infer
ence is that Harrison and Blame
have no very great amount Of infu-
ence with the Senators of their
party. This rejection by Republi-
can votes is very queer thing, and
is likely to make trouble for some
Of the parties for a long time to
come. That the Democrats should
have voted against his confirmation
was to be expected, but what puz-
zles people hereabouts is why such
a rampant bloody shirt waver as In
gals should have joined them. Hal
stead's opinion Of those Republicans
who voted against him will make
mighty interesting reading.
The surprise created by the nom
ination of Robert Lincoln to be
minister to England has not yet
died out, and Republican applicants
for the big appointments still open
are anxiously inquiring if the Gar
field boys want anything, because if
they do there is no reason after the
Grant and Lincoln appointments
why they should not get it.
It looks very much az though that
Senatorial boycott was beginning to
get in its work.
Tho Senate will adjourn this week
and President Harrison will be very
glad to see them go away as he has
few more appointments Of the
Halstoad order to make, and does
not banker after other reflections at
present.
Some very bad news was officially
received here on Saturday afternoon.
