"THE MODERN JOSHUA"
Discourse at Calvary Presby-
eria

Interesting Discourse at Calvary Presby-
terrain Church.
The sermon of Rev. Thomas Chalmers
Easton last evening, at Calvary Presby-
terrain Church, was of unusual interest, and
was listened to by an audience largely aug
mented by members Of other denominations
than his own. He took for his subject "The
Joshua of the Nineteenth Century," and in
the course of his remarks dwelt at great
length upon the wonderful life of the bibli-
cal hero which, in many instances presented
a striking analogy to that of the Savior of
the world. Born into the most abject pow
erty he yet achieved greatness and left be-
hind him history for illustrious deeds and
an irreproachable life that few biblical
characters attained. In this respect he is
model for the young men of the present
age who. instead of being disheartened by
poverty should recall Joshua's heroic deeds,
his energy, and blameless life, and in recall
ling, eDdeayOr 10 initiate them.

panies or to practice for coming events.
Company c, Third Regiment, stationed in
Oakland, held their monthly medal shoot.
The independent Rifles also contested for
the medals of that organization. The City

One of the closest contests that has taken

another new record would have been made.
Unfortunately he eased on his second lap,
reserving his strength for the final. in which
he showed fine burst of speed, but he
failed to do better than equal the record.

Protection Illustrated.

England is practically free trade
country. China is the most amply
protected country on the globe.
Contrast the condition of the two
countries.
Englishmen are civilized, enlight-
ened, free.
The Chinese are-well, let us say
half civilized neutrality-suspicious.
England enjoys the grandest
ocean commerce in existence. The
sails of her ships whiten every sea.
China has no commerce. All of
her bays and harbors were rendes-
vous for pirates until purged Of
these pests by the men-of-war OF
civilized nations.
Englishmen are respected the
world over, becauze protected by a
government that executes the will
of an intelligent and brave people.
Chinese are despised in all quar-
tiers, because degraded and demon
allied by a blind, miscreant despo-
tism, whose only thought is the
suppression of every human instinct
and aspiration, and the collection of
taxes. Yet China possesses wealth
Of natural resources sufficient to
build up another England, were her
people free to develop their slavery
dwarfed intellects, that they might
use intelligently, as Englishmen do,
the things they have. But to do
this they must arouse themselves
from their mental sleep of centu-
ries Of political isolation, tear down
the walls that hem them in body
and soul, cast off the desparado's
yoke that has bowed their heads
for SO many generations, and learn
that this is an age of traffic in which
success comes only to those who
leave themselves free to mix and
mingle, to buy and sell, with all
mankind; that trade, like men and
nations, can only expand, grow
to respectable dimensions under
the inspiriting agis of freedoms
fostering strength. Communion is
life; isolation is stagnation and
death, and China fully illustrates
the truth of the latter proposition

ers and displaced like number OF
American laborers moreover, being
but partially civilized and reared
from their births in the depths OF
poverty, ignorance and servitude,
they are the least desirable class of
foreigners that come to this country,
and are, most likely, what the Ma
ton suggests, ''the most depraved

from which they come" 1t would
be a desirable kind of protection
that would protect our country

aside from the protection it would
afford to American labor.

A Wonderful Pill.

Mr.. Joseph l. Bates has discov-
cred pill which cures consumption
in all its stages. Mr.. Joseph |.
Bates sells his pills at 81 box. Mr..
Joseph l. Bates could get rich rap
idly by travelling over the country
and curing consumptives at 500 a
cure; but Mr.. Joseph /. Bates is a
philanthropist and, of course, dis
dams riches. Mr.. Joseph l. Bates,
however, is not very familiar with
some facts of physiology, and thor
oughly exposes his ignorance in his
advertisements. Mr.. Joseph |.
Bates had consumption himself in
early life, and only discovered his
wonderful pills after his lungs had
all been expectorated away, with
the exception Of a very small piece.
That fragment of lung is now as
sound as the best, thanks to the
pills, and Mr.. Joseph |. Bates weighs
lungs and all-197 pounds, hav-
ing become remarkably, not to say
alarmingly, adipose, without lungs
to oxidlze his blood, another effect
of his wonderful pills. Had Mr..
Joseph |. Bates known a man could
not get fat without lungs to supply
his blood with oxygen, he would
have withheld this absurd state
ment, but Mr.. Joseph |. Bates
doesn't know this, and, fortunately
for his swindle, the public he is
quilting doesn't know it either:
Rake in the dollars, J. |. B., and
and become a great and good man.
The multitude will never be the
wiser for your dishonesty obtained
riches.

An Ugly Comment.

A vigilance committee has been
organized at Seattle, Washington.
This is an ungainly comment on the
status of that queenly young city.
1t shows to outsiders that crime has
become insuferably prevalent; SO
prevalent that citizens have determ-
ined to crush out the criminals.
But unfortunately it shows, too,
that jurors at Seattle either do not
know or do not do their duty. Were
jurors to convict the guilty as reg
ularly as they acquit them, there
would be no need of vigilance COM
mittees; but this they do not do,
and it is not unlikely that the very
men who form the bulk of Seattle's
vigilance committee have heretofore
refused, as jurors, to convict the
very men they now propose to pun
ish by illegal means. When every
man learns to do his duty as a juror
there will be no excuse for the dis
grace Of vigilance committees.

Fire at ShoShone.

The beautiful little valley town
of Shoshone was visited by a de-
structive FIRE on the morning of the
22d of this month. The fire broke
out in the Dewey Hotel at about
$50 in the morning, and there be-
ing no facilities for fighting fire, it
had almost undisputed sway until
everything within it's reach had been
consumed. The loss, as given in
the Boise Sun, is over SIT 900; in
surance $4,000, carried by the Dewey
Hotel. The loss Of the Dewey Ho-
tel is stated at $4,000. The sheriff S
Office, a saloon and photograph
gallery were among the sufferers,
and were totally destroyed. When
the alarm of fire was given the peo-
pie quickly organized themselves
into bucket brigades and did what
they could to extinguish the flames,
but their efforts were of no avail.
The fire swept on over the dry and
resinous pine buildings unchecked
by the small amount Of water
thrown on it from buckets. Sho-
shone is prosperous and growing
place, and while regretting the ca
lamity which has befallen her the
KEYSTONE hopes it may prove a
blessing in disguise, not alone to
Shoshone, but to other towns SINH
larly situated. It is inexcusable
carelessness for men to hold prop
ertp in a town and not provide
means of protection against fires,
which may come at any time, and
seemingly do come when not ex-
pected.

Hodge odge.

Success is always crowned; de-
feat is always scourgei.
In this world position, no matter
how obtained, and not brains, con-
fers authority.
Justice is administered in this
country by process Of manipula-
ton, so to speak, that insures de-
sired results in advance.
Society must stand on mutual
concessions and regard or fall. Ut
ter selfishness is destructive of or
ganization-is complete isolation.
Public privileges should on no
account be degraded into private
franchises. The roads of country
are public privileges and conven-
fences, and should no more be sub
ject to seizure and control by an
individual than should the treasury
or the navy. 1t is even more inn
portant that a people have good
and cheap roads and carrying faci!-
tiles than that they have treasures
and navies.
To instruct person you must
first interest him, excite his curios-
ity, secure his attention, arouse his
inquisitiveness, awaken in him a
desire to possess the knowledge you
would impart, and your part of the
work is done. Thencefourth, the
mind, if properly equipped, will be
it's own tutor, and will think out
truths and systems greater than you
knew to teach 1t is our habit of
suppressing the tendency to origi-
nal thought in the children of the
land that causes such general
thoughtlessness in adults.
