woes, famines, food and pestlence have
been sent to rebuke him. The prophets
Christ and the apostles were sent to save
him and he is not saved yet. The Ten
Commandments are still broken, even
Christian denominations are differing
over their creeds, and the new command
ment Christ gave to man, Love One an
other, is not practiced by any conamuni-
ty, and only in exceptional cases, and
they comprise all the good there is IN the
world, without which mans creation
would be failure.
When you study material things you
will naturally go back to the first prin-
materialist, or investigate the spiritual
life and become a spiritualist. But
neither of these doctrines alone are salts
factory, and [ see no better way of har-
monizing them than to suppose that
when God created matter he took on a
material form and laws to gov
ern 1t, and in the creation
of man gave him spirit which If exer-
cised develops our spiritual existence,
returning to him on the death of the
body, but if neglected his identity Is
finally lost with matter. cannot reason
from the beginning and end of this
world without assuming this hypothesis.
1t is presuming too much to suppose
matter was created out of and re-
turns to nothingness. 1t would di-
vest God of omnipotence by exciud-
ing Him from matter and nature
1t Is impossible for me to believe matter
Is dead and lifeless when we know it is
full of life, beauty and loneliness. God
Is IN everything, every atom throbs and
glows with His omnipotence. Time
began in eternity on the morning of
creation when the first atom was formed
out of the immensely of infinite Jehovah.
The law which created the first atom
has since brought the universe into
existence and placed man at the head of it.
Man disobeyed those laws and brought
sin and disobedience into the world; God
had compassion on him and sent Christ
with His holy spirit as an atonement to
save him. By forsaking our sins, and fol-
lowing His example we develop christ
ain spirit by which we can return to God
and enjoy His blessing.
The acceptance of this belief would
unite all religious denominations and
thereby destroy all skepticism and inf
deity which are the outgrowth of divis-
ions in the church. The apostles did not
preach Lutherism nor Calvinism, but
Christ, and Him crucitied. There are no
hundred roads to heaven, but one
straight and narrow path that leads to
the foot of the cross. You cannot di-
verge it to please this sect or that.
Throw away your human creeds and ac-
cept of God omnipresent, Christ, our
savior; the Bible our creed, which alone
is sufficient for instruction, for discipline
and to make man perfect.

A FALLACIOUS ARGUMENT.

One Of the favorite arguments with
eastern monometalists against free coin
age or any other plan for increasing the
volume of money in actual circulation is
the depreciation of the Confederate cur
rency during the war, the result, they
say, of the great volume of it that was
issued. This claim is only partially true
The volume of that currency was as
much an effect as it was a cause. The
real secret of the depreciation of that
currency was primarily and mainly the
effect Of lack of confidence in the success
of the undertaking-the ultimate tri-
umph of the cause. If proof of this
were needed it would only be necessary
to call attention TO the fact that for the
first year or more, when the south was
buoyed with hope, the paper issue was held
at par with gold, and the depreciation
marked the period when confidence be-
gan to wane, and the decline of faith in
the government and in the value of its
currency was in exact ratio at every sue
ceeding moment to the end. There is no
difference in the purchasing power, the
current value, of the greenback and the
coin certificate today, yet the one is
based upon and maintained by the faith
of the government, while the other rep
resents SO much alleged intrinsic value.
1t is not to be understood that we are
advocating or defending fiat money, in
the common acceptance of that term,
Though all issues by the government are
in a sense fat, but simply exposing the
fallacy of the Observation-Disclosures
value notion of money.

people really want and demand as
money and as to quantity, they would
find, outside of money centers, the peo-
pie are unit on sound money basis,

will be made on the money and tariff

have been studying these questions and

money and less royalty to the manufac-
turers.
In conclusion, let me reassure MIR.
Miller that myself and the people refute
the idea of any other than sound and
legal basis of money, but that we de-
mand and will have more money in the
near future, not by robbing the rich nor
by the use of cabbage and tobacco
leaves, but on the promise to pay" abil-

So it seems that Parnell, the recog-
nized ex and would-be Irish leader is to
have company in the role of scandal
figure, and that, too, of the royal sort.
Affairs that have long been matters of
suspicion and belief with many are just
now developing into established facts.
If the Brooke divorce case is established,
of which there appears to be no doubt,
it will be in order for another such suit

Mrs. Mary E Lease.

From tbs New York Sun.
Mrs. Mary E. Lease. the thrilling, stir
ring, startling orator of the Kansas Al
lance, whose speeches are admired from
the upper waters of the Big Blue river to
the lower waters of the Verdigris, and
who raised a commotion a few weeks
ago at the convention of the Woman
National council III Washington, has sent
to California paper 4 letter in which
she refers TO her political labors. The
most important and interesting sentence
Of the letter, which is mailed from La
Crosse, Kan, is in these words:
Il am constantly on the rostrum,
moulding public opinion for go. ="
The next important sentence is that in
which she announces that 1.-The cause is
gaining every day" 1t is evident from
Mrs. Leases letter that even the ravages
of the Hessian fly and the chinch bug in
Kansas cannot induce her to leave the
platform upon which she Is moulding
the Farmers Alliance.

FARMERS CANCELLING THEIR
MORTGAGES.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The western loan companies which
have conceived the idea of exacting gold
on farm mortgages have selected a sin
gularly inopportune time for any attempt
to bulldoze the western farmers. They
were never more prosperous than they
are today. The high prices realized on
grain since the last crop was harvested
gave them chance to dispose not only
of that crop, but of the surplus on hand
from other years to good advantage.
There is every prospect of an enormous
yield this season of both wheat and corn,
which are almost absolutely certain of
high prices owing to the European short
age. Chicago does large business in
farm mortgages. One concern which has
out over $1,000, 900, assures us that their
only anxiety is to place these mortgages
as they come due. At least Sc per cent.
of those due June 1 we've paid off at
maturity, and those falling due soon are
likely TO pass this record. So far from
demanding renewal on a gold basis the
Chicago agencies are at their wits end
to keep the money intrusted to them
loaned out at all. The farmers west of
the Missouri river are prosperous, still
further west, as far, in fact, as the rain
belt. The farmer may be a little irregu-
lar in the payment of interest, but the
property is improving in value all the
time, and the danger of absolute loss is
almost minus quality.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-06-17

The New York Sun says it has been so
long accustomed to hear only complaints
from bleeding Kansas that it congratu-
lates the Kansas wheat raisers, and can
encourage them with the news that they
will be able to market their cropat a fair
price, without the assistance of the in
venters of the sub-treasury plank in the
Ocala Alliance platform. In behalf of
the farmers, the sure enough producers,
of Kansas the EAGLE would say:
Thanks, awfully; though the assurance
given by the great eastern luminary is in
no sense news to them; they read the
papers and keep posted.

vance to make him so. Provided with
one of these engines of Satan he lies in
wait around the suburbs of ST. Louis and

in range of. Under the state law it is
misdemeanor to kill any song or insect

the law ought to be enforced, at least in
the nesting season. The small boy S

Calamity howlers will find no listeners
in state with full grainaries,-Lawrence

That depends. If prices for the grain
are remunerative and satisfactory the
bowler would be without an occupation
while the grainaries are full; but we ali
remember the season of ten cent corn,
when the loudest howl of all was raised.
With full grainaries if there was enough
of the circulating medium to justify fair
prices the howl would be a very weak
little wheezy.

governor, Oliver P. Morton, standing
bareheaded in the storm in mid winter.
l then and there made up my mind that
it would be more appropriate for statue
standing up in the sun and storm to
have hat on. Standing in doors, of
course looks better with the hat off.
