OF all the people who live beneath
the Sun, the Advehtists are perhaps
the most hopeful. Who better than
they can withstand disappointment?
For many years they have been pre-
dieting with great regularity the end
of the world. 1t was to come on such
a day, a month, six months, or maybe
year in advance. There could be no
doubt about it this time. They had
made mistakes in the past, but they
had profited by them. and were now
infallible and inerrant. On May Is,
the earth would shrivel and roll up like
the upper of an old shoe when thrown
into the fire. The Dies Irae when
would be heard weeping and crashing
of teeth would surely usher itself in
bright and early on the morning afore-
said, and the universal roast would be-
gin. Although they had previously
met with SO. many disappointments,
they were not at all discouraged, and
pitched on Friday. October %. as the
fateful day that should make Rome
and all therein howl. That day came
and went, and the world still keeps up
its merry-go-round. The government
still lives at Washington and the place
hunters continue the mad chase fol
offices as before. Even the Murdoch
rebellion shows no abatement of the
ardor with which it beats the air.
Another failure has been scored. But
will that dishearten the buoyant and
confident Adventist? Not much. II

err all the. time. He will seek fol

that he will fail the next time. and he

THE appointment of Hon. J. w. Ady
as United states attorney, vice w. G..
Perry, resigned, is universally we'll re-
ceivCd, as it should be. 1t is good
ppOintment.-FOr Scott Monitor.
Certainly 1t is, but what about the
appointment of Cy. Leland as internal
revenue collector? Will that be uni
versally well received also?-EMPO-
RIA NEWS.
The Monitor can say for General
Rice that Colonel Leland's appoint
ment is as satisfactory to him as any
other would have been except that of
himself. He is not one of the kind
who bewails over ''spilt milk, - or who
ask friends to go beyond unreasonable
bounds in his service. He has no enc
mics to punish, but stands ready to
serve the hundreds of friends who gen
erously gave him their support. Gen
eral Rice himself is Mississippi en-
gagged in the active work of building
the New Orleans, NatcheZ & Fort
Scott railrOad.-Fort Scott Monitor.
So the general is perfectly resigned,
and refuses to kick. Well, that is some
thing worthy of commentator in these
degenerate days of Office grabbing and
kicking. 1t is to be hoped that fortune
will smile on the general and his rail-
railroad scheme. The presidency of a
needed railroad beats a collectorship a
long way.

which the people of Virginia repudi-

which espoused the cause of the most

trickster that ever cursed the'oId Dom

Foraker went by the board also.
The tidal wave that swept over Vir-
ginia and Ohio carried him away in its
impetuous rush, and his glory which
but yesterday was great, is now sadly
dimmed and lusterless. He wanted to
be president, as his cOquetting with
the bosses at the Chicago convention
proved. He aspired to rival John

Foraker is no longer in his way. He

BILE, the gains going even beyond those
