fray. No one escapes the struggle be-
tween the right and the wrong. To learn
how to conduct this warfare, we must
go to someone who has been
through the war and has came out vic
torious Next to Christ st. Paul had
probably the greatest struggle against
temptation. We therefore turn to him
for instruction.
We must put on the armor. It must be
the armor of the Lord. We are sure of
victory if we rightly use this armor
Prayer the Holy Bible, the sacrament,
confirmation are all portions Of our
armor and we should lack none of them.
He referred to the usefulness Of the

points mentioned with sundry anecdotes
of incidents that came under his notice
The physical, mental and spiritual must

cident of person Of Newport who who
was sick. Christian Scientists visited
him and told him to discharge his physi.
clans and nurses. He did so. Then
they said Look at us, think that you
are well, and you will be we'll. "
The man looked at them.
thought lac was well and died. The

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

1hE
From the New York world: The
word Of courage and of hope which the
"World" spoke to the Democratic party
after the loss Of the election in Novem-
Der can be repeated with even more rea-
son now.
The Republican policy, as outlined by
President Harrison, will make for Dem
ocratic success in the future.
The Democratic party is right in as
serting that unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation. 1t is right in demand
ing that the surplus revenue be stopped,
not spent. 1t is right in holding that
the taxes to be first reduced are those
which bear hardest upon the greater
number of people-namely, the wal
taxes upon the necessaries Of life. Every
word of the Republican president and
every act of aRepublican congress which
antagonizes these everlastingly right and
truly democratic principles will hasten
the day Of the second overthrow of their
The plutocratic tendencies and mo-
nopoiistic affiliations of the Republican
party will inevitably weaken it with the
The Democrats have only to
be true to their principles, united in
and wise in the selection of lead
ers to pluck a final victory out of the
present reverse.

ASAN FRANCISCO dispatch gives what
is evidently the "true inwardness" of the
late Somoan imbrOglio. A gentleman
now in that city who claims to have rea-
sons for knowing, it is alleged, whereof
he speaks, says the trouble is only the
outcome of a policy long since agreed
upon between Germany, England and
France, by which New Caledonia was to
be allotted to France, Samoa to Germany,
and the Hawaiian Islands to England.
Many arguments are advanced for the
purpose of showing that the policy of
these governments from then until now
has been to gain possession of these re-
spectlve islands. The gentleman says
the English need some special point for
their Pacific cable line to touch at, and
that negotiations are now pending for
the complete purchase of the whole, or if
not, Of one of the Hawaiian Islands by
English parties.
