5. Suggestions.

/. Meet duty courageously-bear suffering
with fortitude. Shrink from no cross if the
bearing Of it may aid humanity. Death itself
is noble if it be in the interest Of mankind, and
be the only method by which the work can be
effected.
.. Learn to pray. 1t is our greatest resource
In emergencies. 1t helps in temptations. (See
st. Luke's accOunt.)

folk at times and go and pray yonder." (See

Christ foresaw the terrible ordeal through
which he was TO pass. He knew his Disciples
were involved more or less in his fate. He
became concerned for them. He babe them
engage in serious meditation and prayer. As
il was, the sequel shows they became quite
demoralIzed when the time of trial arrived.
They had had confidence in Christ. When they
should see him arrested they would be tempted
to distrust his power, and possibly to forsake

Some hours before he left the upper-room,
seeking the Jewish authorities to arrange for
handing Christ over into their power. The
bargain was effected and the arrest to be made
IL was agreed that Judas should indicate the
prisoner by saluting him with kiss. In the
dim light of a wooded garden of the night, even
though the moon shOno, it would be best TO in

arrested.
We shall the more sympathize with Christ
when we remember he knew beforehand of the
coming doom. Ii was not surprise. (V. ~
For long time Christ struggled under the i'm
pending fury. This is the reason why he sought
solitude in the garden and gave himself up to
prayer so earnest that blood mingled with his
sweat.
There was something despieably eowardIy
about the conduct of the Jews in Rrresting
Christ. Many an opportunity had presented
itself in open daylight, but his enemies did
not dare TO avail themselves of manly, square
procedure. Then, when the time to arrest was
determined upon, we find a military detach-
ment sent out, armed, 10 take as prisoner a
man with no followers trained to war; a man

ary %, 1892, and, if possible, unite
with that and all other reform or
CARNATIONS there assembled. If no
satisfactory arrangement can be
effected this committee shall call
a national convention not later
than June /, 1892, for the purpos-
ing of nominating candidates for
president and vice-president.
6. That the members of the
central committee for each state
where there is no independent
political organization conduct an
active system of political agitation
in their respective states.
Resolved, That the question Of
universal suffrage be recommended
to the favorable consideration of
the various states and territories.
Resolved, That while the party
in power in 1869 pledged the faith
of the nation to pay a debt in coin
that had been contracted on a
deprecited currency, thus adding
nearly $1,000, 100000 to the bur.
dens of the people, which meant
gold for the bond holder and de-
preciated currency for the soldier,
and holding that the men who
imperilled their lives to save the
life of O nation should have been
paid in money as good as that
paid to the bondholder, we demand
the issue of legal tender treasury
notes in sufficient amounts to make
the pay of the soldiers equal to par
with coin, or such other legislation
as shall do equal and exact justice
to the Union soldiers of this coun-
try.
Resolved, That as eight hours
constitute a legal days work for
government employees in mechani-
cal departments, we believe this
principle should be farther extend
ed so as to apply to all corpora
tons employing labor in the differ.
ent states of the Union.
Resolved, That this conference
condemns in unmeasured terms the
action of the directors of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition on
May 10, in refusing the minimum
rate of wages asked for by the
labor organizations of Chicago.
Resolved, That'the attorney-gen-
eral of the United States should
make immediate provision to sub
nit the act of March 2, 1889, pro-
viding for the opening of Oklahoma
to homestead settlement, to the
United States supreme court so
that the expensive and dilatory
mitigation now pending there be
ended.

Their Recent Convention.
THE PLATFORM.

THE PLATFORM.
Your committee on resolution
beg leave to submit the following:
l. That in view Of the great
social, industrial and economical
revolution now dawning upon the
civilized world and the new and
living issues confronting the Amer
lean people, we believe that the
time has arrived for capitalization
Of the political reform forces Of our
country and the formation of what
should be known as the peoples
party of the United States Of
America.
2. That we most heartily in
dorse the demands of the platforms
as adopted at St. Louis, Mo. in
1889; Ocala, Fla, in 1890, and
Omaha, Neb., in 1891, by the in
dustrial organizations there repre-
scented, summarized as follows:
A-The right to make and issue
money is a sovereign power to be
maintained by the people for the
common benefit; hence we demand
the abolition of national banks as
banks of issue and as a substitute
for national bank notes we demand
that legal.tender treasury notes be
issued in sufficient volume to trans
act the business of the country on
a cash basis without damage or
especial advantage to any class or
calling, such notes to be legal ten.

or private, and such notes when
demanded by the people shall be

two per cent. per annum on nonim.
perishable products rs indicated in
the sub-treasury plan, and also
upon real estate with proper limi-
tation upon the quantity of land
and amount of money.
B-We demand the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
Give demand the passage of
laws prohibiting alien ownership
of land, and that congress take
prompt action to devise some plan
to obtain all lands now owned by
alien and foreign syndicates, and
that all held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of such as is
actually used and needed by them
be reclaimed by the government
and held for actual settlers only.
D-Believing in the doctrine of
equal rights to all and special to
none, we demand that taxation
national, state or municipal-shall
not be used to build up one interest
or class at the expense Of another.
Eve demand that all rev.
enues-national, state or county
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government eco.

tered.
Eve demand a just and equit.
able spstem Of graduated tax on
income.
Give demand q the most rigid
honest and just national control
and supervision of the means Of
public communication and trans.
portation: and if this control and
supervision does not remove the
abuses now existing, we demand
the government ownership of such
means of communication and tran.
portation.
HIVE demand the election OF
president, vice.presidsnt and Uni.
ted States senators by direct vote

wen I give the word. I'll shoot
the TELLER that fires fore l say to-
understand"
The two men face each other
with pistols aimed and murder in
their eyes. Such a scene il no
novelty in that town, but every
time a duel like that occurs an
awesome stiffness comes over all
beholders. Every face is drawn
with anxiety-every face except
the faro.dealer's, whose lips wear
their habitual snake.like smile.
"One!"
A perceptible movement OF the
muscles as the combatants nerve
themselves for the ordeal.
"Two!"
Fingers creep along the trigger
guards and rest firmly on the
triggers.
"Three."
A simultaneous movement Of the
index fingers-a short, sharp report
two harsh groans that rise as one
! and the two duelists fall upon the
rickity floor with a united weight
thatI shakes the fiimsy building
from foundation to roof.
Both are dead, and everyone, for
a moment, is awed with the tragedy,
save the faro-dealer. He smiles as
before, and raps his silver box:
"Game, gentleman!"
1 was watching a game Of poker,
once, at Helena, Mont. The play
! ers were a gambler (whom | knew
slightly and who bore the sobriquet
of Lucky Bill") and two miners.
Suddenly, after the hands were
dealt and the players had "chipped
in" and drawn cards, Lucky Bill,
with perfect calmness and not 40
much as a shadow Of a change in
the expression Of his face, laid his
cards on the table, took notebook
from his pocket and deliberately
wrote q few words. Then he tore
out the leaf and handed it to me.
"Look at that when you get home
tonight"
His voice was steady and did
not betray a particle ofexcitement.
I thrust the paper aimlessly into
my pocket and gave the matter
hardly a second thought.
The play progressed. Lucky
Bills face was unyeilded as stone
and entirely inexpensive. He
noticed everything, however, and
his vigilant eye did not miss the
slightest move on the part of the
most successful of his guild. Hence
his sobriquet.
! At last there was and alteration
between the two miners. Hot
words ensued and revolvers were
drawn. Some of the bystanders
interfered at this point and, in the
scutfle that followed, l heard the
sharp whistle and sping of a bullet
Lucky Bill (his good star in the
descendent) fell to the floor and
expired without a groan. He had
been killed by the accidental dis
charge Of a pistol in the hands Of
one Of the miners.
l was Mortified at the occurrence
and that evening, after l reached
home, I thought Of the line the
gambler had written me. I took
it from my pocket and read as
follows:
Ihave drawn a pair of sevens.
