Americas Sunday.
In several of the State legis

In several of the State legisla-
lures the proposition to appropriate
money for the erection of State
building at the Worlds Fair has
been linked with an expression in
favor of keeping the binding
closed on Sundays. o.
There has been much discussion
about the Fairs management with
reference to the observance or the
non-observance Of the Lords Day.
Shall Sunday be made exactly
like or wholly unlike the other six
days of the week?
As a nation America has stood
firm on the side Of Sunday observ-
ance. There are well-meaning
people who would not be sorry to
see a Continental Sunday" in the
New World. but what does that
term stand for? A little religion,
perhaps, III the morning, and a
vast deal of amusement surely, for
the rest of the day.
No such day as that was the
Sunday of our fathers, the day
that has left such a mark on the
best American manhood.
No, it is certainly a mistake on
the part of the friends of the
workingman" to advise seventh
day of merely pleasure-seeking
1t can be better spent. When
the men use Sunday for religious
worship and quiet home associa-
tions, they make it emphatically a
day of rest. For the change of
their weekday routines could not
be greater, and besides refresh
ment. they may carry back to their
daily work a strength of moral
purposes which needs no defini-
ton, but has been known since
were first kept.
The Fair will proclaim to the
world the sentiment of the United |
States upon the Sunday ques-
ton" The Centennial Exhibition,
with its one peaceful day in seven,
spoke for the country's first hun
dred years. The last seventeen |
will reveal many material gains.
By their side may no such loss be |
shown as the loss of honor for
Gods day!-Youths' Companion. |

Take SemethiuP.v

There is spent in st. Louis an
nually SIS, 100000 for 1872, $4,000
drinks, says an exchange, and the
Republic figures it out this way.
There are in the city of st. Louis
1,S00 saloons. 1t is safe to ut the
average daily receipts of each at
$25. This will not appear ex-
aggerated when it is remembered
that, pitted against the money
spent over the small bars, is a
larger amount taken in by larger
places. The total receipts a day
amount to $4,000. Counting in
the clubs and other places along
with the saloons the whole amount
of money daily spent for drinks
will easily reach $4,000 a day.
The average of the price of each
drink is about 10 cents. The s.
cent beer, a large quantity of
which is sold, is offset by the Is
cent drinks. And for that matter,
bottled beer is sold at Is cents, a
large amount of champagne is
sold, there are 20 and 25 cent
drinks. These figures show that
we are taking 100000 drinks day
and spending S1S,250,000 a year
for 182, 100000 drinks? How
many to each man. To count the
stated number of votes cast at the
last presidential election as show
ing the number of men in the city
the number is found to be 62,S58.
Then these figures will show that
each man takes eight drinks a day,
or 1920 year. This sounds over
large, but then there are thous-
ands of non-voters, travelling men,
boys and women who drink daily.

These Things Do Not.

Never brood over your troubles,
but remember how much you have
to be thankful for.
Never let a day pass without
doing something that you know
will please God.
Never find fault with those who
are making greater sacrifices to
God than you are.
Never step over one duty to
perform another. Take them as
they come.
Never ask the Lord for some
thing you don't expect he will give
you.
Never covet the possessions Of
others unless you want to lose
your own.
Never sleep with enmity in your
heart against anybody.
Never have much to say about
yourself to strangers.
Never put stone in the way of
the timid hearted.
Never take step without ask
ing God to lead you.
Never live where you wouldn't
be willing to die.
Never receive a favor without
being thankful.
Never trife about things of
great Importance.
Never say spiteful things about
anybody.
Never look where you shouldn't
walk.
Never marry a man to reform
him.-Nashville Christian Advo-
cate.

The Caddo parish Farmers
Union met in Shreveport on Tues
day last for the purpose of re-
commenting persons to the gov
'ernor for appointment. Among
these, we understand, were mem
bers of the police jury, but as the
executive had already named that
body, the Union wisely came to
the conclusion that it was useless
to mention that matter; and after
naming Mr.. r. +. Walters as their
choice for assessor, closed the meet
ing.
The farmers, like many more OF
Us who fought hard for MIR. Foster,
have realized the fact that the
new governor does not count them
and us of much force. Well, if he
can find it profitable to repay
honest and earnest service in that
way, we can afford to let him en-
Joy it while he may.

HYMN.

| / thirst. thou wounded Lamb of God,
| TO wash me in thy cleansing blood,
To dwell within thy wounds; then
pain
Is sweet, and life or death is gain.
Take my poor heart, and let it be
Forever closed To al but thee,
: 'al thou my breast, and let me wear
That pledge Of love forever there.
; How blest are they who still abide
Close sheltered in thy bleeding side.
Who life and strength from thence
derive,
And by thee move, and in thee live.

A japanese convert visiting
America said that nothing was So
astonishing as to find so few
Christians in a Christian land -
Southwestern Presbyterian.
Read this, church member, and
ponder 1t in your heart, for the re-
sponsibility rests upon you. Your
inconsistent life, the dull and de-
ceptive light which emanates from
your lamp causes the inquirer to
stumble and fall, the sinner to flee
from it. Trim your wicks
brighten your globes and the con-
vert from a heathern land will not
encounter 50 small a number of
Christians in a Christian land"

Don't write a letter when angry.
1t is too bad to put a venomous
breath in permanent form. Let
your hate breathe itself into Gods
and pure air, where it can
be obliterated, swallowed up, in
the glorious light and forgotten.
Don't put it where it will live for
years, a calm witness of your wick
edness and folly. Don't give any
one such a club for thine own
head. Angry letters come back at
inconvenient times; they are q |
kind of venomous boomerang

THE NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY
TALKS.

Last week TIE PEoGEEG stated
that it bad been trying to secure
al interview with Mr.. John Il.
Land for the purpose Of ascertain
ing his intended course toward the
> lnday law violators. Since then
we have accomplished our desires
IN that direction, and in reply to
the queries of this paper, Mr.. Land
q sid:
The people always have right
to know what policy a newly elect
g official intends to pursue in the
discharge of the duties of his
Office.
"A public servant, who is true
to his oath of office, can have but
one policy, i. e., the full perform
ance of his official duties in an
honest, manly and impartial man
DR..
Upon proper complaints being
m de to me as District Attorney,
L propose to prosecute the VIC
lators of the Sunday law on the
same footing with the violators Of
any other penal statute.
Il do not propose either to
SHIELD or prosecute any one class
of criminals; but in the discharge
OF the duties of my office, L shall
prosecute all malefactors alike,
without fear or favoritism, and
shall use all legitimate means to
secure a conviction in each case.
"As l have not yet received my
commission as District Attorney,
aud qualified under it, / am pow
erless to act in any case of viola
ton of the Sunday law or any
other offense."
The attitude assumed by this of
fetal will no doubt cause some of
the saloon proprietors grave I'M
easiness, as they had made up
their minds to violate this law
with great freedom and fragrance,
trusting to a passive enforcement
on his part, because they had as
sisted in securing his nomination.
Eff notwithstanding the direct as
5ertion Of Alr. Land that he will
prosecute all law volators, there is
no doubt in the m; is Of all who
understand this c IS, that there
are a number Of tippling shop
bosses who will give the new Dis
trict Attorney an opportunity to
test his powers at convicting
They don't believe he will prose-
cute them. Their ideas of politics
are based upon personal gains,
and it matters little to them if an
officer does have to violate his
oath in order to secure them i'm
nlunity from the law, they will de-
n1and such reward for services
rendered in primary election. To
them an oath is nothing when per-
sonal interest is at stake. Have
not some already violated sacred
and solemn pledge? And will not
the person who commits a willful
and deliberate falsehood, likewise
commit perjury? OF course he
will. Mr.. Land occupies a very
precarious position, and unless he
guards we'll his actions, these tip
pling shop political bosses, these
Sunday law violators, will cause
his complete ruin, as they did an
other, who but for them would |
have enrolled his name on Honor
and Ability's immaculate roster.

Gods Love.

1 can measure parental love.
How broad, how long and strong
and deep it is! 1t is a sea-a
deep sea, which parents can only
fathom. But the love displayed
on yonder bloody cross, where Gods
own Son is perishing for us, no
man nor angel has line to
measure. observation-disclosures of
the earth, the altitude of the sun,
the distance of the planets-these
have been determined; but the
height, depth, breadth and length
of the love of God pass our knowl-
edge.
Such is the Father against
whom all of us have sinned a
thousand timesl Walk the shore
where the ocean sleeps in the sum-
mer calm; or dashed into fury by
the winters tempest is laundering
on her sands: and when you have
numbered the drops of her waves,
the sand on her rounding beach,
you have numbered Gods mercies
and your sins. Well, therefore,
may we go to Him with the con-
triton of the prodigal of our
hearts and his confession on our
lips: Father, 1 have sinned
against heaven in Thy sight.'
The spirit of God helping us to
go to God, be assured that the
father who, seeing his son afar off,
ran to meet him, fell on his neck
and kissed him, was but an image
Of Him who, not sparing his own
Son, but giving Him up to death
hat we might live, invites and
now awaits our coming-Guthrie.
