THE BIBLE
ted them.

How comes it that this Book, COM
posed by humble men, in a rude age,
when the arts and sciences were in
their infancy, has eXerted more in
fuence over the human race than all
other books that were ever written
put together.
This Book has banished heathenism,
exalted the condition Of woman, raised
the standard Of public morality, and
created for families that blessed in
stitution, a Christian home, and
brought about other development and
expansion Of opinion as by the wand
of enchantment. Wherever it has
been carried and eXpounded it
smoothes the pillow of death, and
makes its believers better and happier
in life.
No other book has undergone such
changes and lost none of its strength.
This work is today printed in almost
every known language and dialect, and
it is not in the power Of man to de-
stroy its influence, or its great and
mighty work for he civilization OF
the world.
If agnOstics and atheists will explain
this, then they will be more fully war
ranted in their diatribes against the
Christian faith.

THE GREATEST OF THESE

How very much happier this world
might be if there existed more of the
charity that thinketh no evil" Many
people are prone to accept at once any
little gossip that may happen to cir
culate concerning acquaintance, and
frequently that concerning good
friends. This is unfortunate, for
there is nothing that will so quickly
destroy good friendship as lack of
confidence in a friends virtue and in
tegrity 1t is really a reflection on
ones self to be ever ready to attribute
the worst, or at least bad motives t.
every action Of an acquaintance, or t.
find some selfish reason for a deed nc
matter how good it has been, nor how
productive Of good.
Why not always look for the best
motive for the actions of our neigh
bors? The reply is generally, ut il

WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES

There are a great many wise men at
work in this day and generation to
mitigate the evils of civilized life, in
one way or another, and especially
in political and domestic economy,
but none of them seem to have
struck exactly the proper thing yet,
or if they have their following

troll that they have not succeeded, to
say the least. Every reasonable man,
and every fair-minded man-and they

world get on in manner that will
bring them more comfort and all the
other blessings that will bring them
more content, but they, or their lead.
ers, frequently make mistakes in the
effort to obtain these things, and they
often make fights against those who
are disposed to befriend them instead
of the elements that are most danger

While labor organizations make the
strike and the boycott their principal
reliance and the federation of these
organizations depends for relief on the
actions of its own members in estab-
fishing eight hours for days work;
while the Southern Farmers Alliance
relies on the enactment Of a national
law requiring government loans to the
individuals of their order, and the
Northern Alliance looks upon the rail.

prominent as the MONDAY sun and
can be determined by any reasoning
mind. The fluctuations in all kinds
of business with the resultant depres-
sions and mutations being general
throughout the European and Ameri-
can governments, the cause must nee
essarily be general, and there is only
one that can possibly bring such re-
suits. No other cause than the rotten
financial system of the European
ROthchild money power can possibly
cause the regular eight-yeaT waves Of
mutations and depressions in agricul-
ture, the industries and our financial
affairs. Break up that financial
system by destroying the govern
ment bend gambling business, which
can be done by all the govern
ments issuing money instead of inter
est bearing bonds. Then usury will
disappear, Wall street and Lombard
street will no longer be able to corner
money nor wreck railroads and other
properties through their panic traps
Depressions will disappear and labor,
the industries and agriculture will
soon adjust themselves to a steady
volume of business. 1t is certainly
the duty of every American citizen tC
broaden his views on the questions
now agitating the country and search
for and remedy the general cause.

WHAT OF 1892 ?

1t is entirely too early to form safe
conclusions as to the best presidential
timber for 1892. Twelve months eX-
perience with questions now promi-
nently before the, country may bring
great changes in public sentiment.
Measures first; men are f secondary
importance. Parties cannot succeed
on what has been accomplished, and
the 1892 campaign will be fought and
decided on what the parties give
assurance that they can and will
accomplish. The issues are not fairly
made up. and men must be selected
who will fit the measures demanded.
Straddling platforms and candidates
will not be popular in 1892.

THE ROND ELECTION

Fairhaven is all here yet, and the
Focal City will continue to focus.
The people proved again yesterday
that they know what's best for them
selves, and the kiCkers were mot
in it"
1t is always difficult to get out a
large vote on any single local PROPOSE
sition in any city, but the vote polled
in Fairhayen yesterday was unusually
large for such an occasion. Out Of
the LOIS votes registered there were
500 polled on the bond question. OF
these, III were for the bonds and p
were against them. The vote showed
that Of those who voted, III were
friends of Fairhaven, and nearly 81
were against the city, its interests
and the great mass Of the people. We
say nearly q, because it is more than
probable that a few Of the votes cast
against the bonds were thus cast by
mistake, and we know Of several in
stances were they were cast by acct
dent.
The vote was practically unanimous,
the opposition having been so insight
cant that it doesn't count The entire
affair is a triumph for the city, the
proportion in favor Of the bonds being
so great that it easily disposes Of the
proposition that some quibblers were
inclined to moot, regarding the matter
of the three-ffths majority of all the
votes registered. A vote of 645 for
the bonds would have overcome that,
whereas there are III, to the credit of
the city's side of the proposition.
Now then, Fairhaven can go ahead
employing labor and paying it. She
can 90 ahead improving the city in a
public way, in appearance, in health
fulness, in comforts and conveniences.
The emphatic manner in which the
people have spoken is in itself a tower
Of strength. Capital, which is always
timid, will have no fear of this city
The decisiveness Of the people will be
its encouragement. The strong vote
for the bonds will make them valuable
at once and their strength will add t
| the business strength Of the city very
greatly. Indeed, the adoption Of the
S2jO,OOO bonds will be worth millions
to Fairhaven. 1t will be a main pie
in the bridge over the season Of de
preston, and the effect will be felt a
once.
OF course Eairhaven was under an,
circumstances an established fact
The start and foundation the city hat
made heretofore was a certainty 0
success. No one thoroughly intereste,
in the city and possessed of that faitl
which is founded on a knowledge 0
its resources and advantages, has eve
doubted for one moment its stabilit
and its future greatness, but with tn
general depression in business, cause
by the financial stagnation brough
upon an otherwise prosperous countr
by foreign and New York capiti
fends, something was necessary to b
done to pontoon the present, and tn
people of Fairhayen engineered tn
bridge yesterday.

A FLUX OF LAW

1t has been tritely said that the
world is governed too much There
is too much law-making for the simple
purpose Of doing something on the
part OF legislators to pretend to earn
their salaries; too much law-making is
done for political machination; too
much OF it is done through the in
SEPARATION Of demagogy, and thus laws
which only represent money paid for
making and printing them, lie as
dead letters on the statute books, and
this is not only true in the masses Of
laws that are made on general subjects,
but on criminal subjects. There
never has been great need for much
further criminal statutes than merely
the establishment of local penalties
FOR the infraction Of the laws that
Moses brought down on the tablets of
stone from Mt. Small The decalogue
and the Golden Rule come very near
covering all the law and the prophets.
II they had covered the profits also
then there would have been less law.

The Governor'a Violin

Respectfully inscribed to Hon. Charles f.
Laughton
Mid the silken, perfumed, elegance,
Within a stately house,
I've heard its rich tones ringing
Thro' the wilderings Of Strauss,
And I've heard the sigh of gentle ones,
Who listened while it bore
To charmed hearts the sweetness
OF the touching "Trovatore."
I've heard it in the evening,
In "a peaceful, quiet home,
Sing "Swanee River" till the bees
Came, humming round the comb;
With the phases Of the wassai
And the Joy Of festal cheer;
I've heard it change from gay to grave,
From lively TO severe"
In tender tones Of pleading;
In signs of spent delight;
In greetings of the morning,
And in good byes TO the night;
In storms upon the ocean,
And in the songs of birds.
I've heard rs voice, like living thing.
In sweetest human words.
I've heard it give, stentorian,
Command ia battles blare,
And heard it whisper, soft and low.
Like angels in the air;
'Mong brawny men, in mining camps,
I've seen it hush brawl.
Till clenched hands are open palms,
That in each'other fall
| I've seen IL gather little ones.
About the players knee.
As did the babes of olden time
fRound Him Of Gallee.
And to it. oft. I've listened.
Till all the world was kin.
While lovingly its master played
The Governors Violin.

numbers grow with the growth Of the
populations, requiring more officials,
spies and informers. And as human

There is no more free government
in the world than Englaud's but see
how horrible is her tyranny when
striking some offender against her
law-made crimes in Ireland. A citi-
zen is spotted by some official. Every
time he steps from his door police
man marches by his side and another
follows behind He holds his liberty
and probably his life at the mercy or
will of his tyrants. Let him beware
how he carries himself, to whom he
speaks and how This is literally the
truth.
~
The liberty Of the citizen is not
worth the value Of child's toy under
any constitution where the central
power can create statuable Offenses
and administer the details Of prosecn-
tion and penalty. The slightest
knowledge of the past, even the least
capacity of reasoning on the matter,
shows that it is so. For this power is
an evil weed whose fertile seeds are
spread by every agitation until all the
land is choked and poisoned by the
foul growth. Were prohibition, as it
is called, to be attempted by your cen
trial federal power, it would be but
lending one more arm to a system
already established and in operation
whereby if once the thing called gov
eminent is DESTROYS Of annihilating
any considerable body of citizens il
has only to set its machinery in action
to that end. Look at the lottery bust
ness, for instance This great gov
eminent is at work to suppress it and
the infinite genius of man is equally
busy to evade the laws, if laws they
are.
