All things work together for good to
those who love the Republican party.
Tile result of the elections IN the south
ern States has convinced waveriug Re
publicans that at best Weaver could
only have carried one or two States. y
month ago the rawlings OF the Denver
News were loud enough and senseless
enough to convince maniacs. idiots and
weak-mnded men that the Populists
would carry Arkansas, Florida, Ala
bama and Georgia. These States gave
$1,000, 27,O0O, "a COO and 5000 MAORI
ties for the Democratic ticket, being an
increase in Arkansas OF 5000 and in
Georgia of 27,O00 over the majOrities of
four years ago. Weaver's only real sup
port came from the mining States, but
the publication of the decentralization
act contained in the sub-treasury bill
has left him and his party without fol-
lowers, save the few who still believe in
the old greenback doctrines and the
few chronic cranks who delight in talk
ing the wrong side of every question.

mary OF the most important facts gathered
by the governments investigation. Nobody
but special students of the subject Is aware
OF the prodigious number OF religious sects in

ing instance our history has afforded of the
liberal ioeas in theology, not even excepting
the Unitarian controversy among the Con-
gregatonal churches" The increase in
church membership has been larger during
the decade 1880 to 1880 than it has generally
been supposed to be- as the following ex-

Charles Watts of the Union Pacific gen.

to organize a court of Foresters, and indica-

the organization Is instituted. All old For
esters, and those are many, are invited to
ally themselves with the court, which will
be- the first in the city.
Forestry as fraternal organization Is
mentioned in early English history, being
composed of brave and hardy class of men
who were professional Foresters, and
who had some form OF local organiza-
tion upwards of 200 years ago. From
tho earliest period it was beneficiary
in character. In l745, these subordinate
courts assembled at Knars borough, England,
and created the first national body, since
which there has been preserved continuous
national record down to the present hour.
In 1874, the INDEPENDENT Order OF Foresters
was organized at Newark. N. j., with su-
preme court having jurisdiction over the
northern states and British provinces.
The Order OF Foresters is the oldest OF the
mutual benefit associations and is very
strong in the eastern states.
