politicians, who, for no other purpose
than political aggrandizement, are willing
to sacrifice the interests and peace OF the

white Cap element" is about to do, is
agltated by their willing tools and emie-

T.. mission covers the whole territory and
FL paso county, Texas. To perform the
duties of superintendent Of the mission,
Rev. T. l.. Willsee, of Albuquerque, has
to travel from 10000 to 10000 miles per
year. His quarterly meetings will some
times be 500 miles apart OH consecutive
Sabbaths. He most endure all kinds OF
climate and encounter all sorts of people.
Now he is 5000 feet high, among the
snow drifts and winds of the mountains
again he is amid the flowers and fruits OF
the valleys, nearly mile lower down
toward the level of the sea. Now he is
entertained in the elegant home of a New
Highlander, and again he sleeps in the
adobe cabin OF a Mexican. He makes q
huge blunder if he concludes that any
sort OF preaching will do OH the frontier,
for now here in the country will more
intelligence be found in the same number
Of people.-Optic.
