think you how such a light in the
skies, upon such a day, must have secretly
struck the report of nine of ten of the ma
tons who were gathered to the celebra-
ton. For few of them are broadeped in
our own preSumptive way, and all of them
believe, as did ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of DID, that
the kingdom is Gods whose ways are judg-
ment, and those who walk in pride he is
able to abase.' Have we so soon outgrown
ideas so fundamental? / trust we have.
The fact is, there is sin within the door of
the national temple, and it adds but new
iniquity to the trespass to belittle the
facts. We cannot. be living up to the
spirit of the constitution inherited from
our forefathers, and it lies with each man
to determine his own share in the respons-

but radical We are about to hold a ma
tionai election of momentous import and
there is not statesman on earth who does
not ponder with misgiving upon what the
near future has in store for both the old
world and the new. 1t is in view of such
concern that l appeal unto my countrymen
to cast their votes as lots before the Lord of
hosts. There is individual response biliTy in
this matter of the greatest order and there
is but one command that bears upon the
issue: Thou shalt not follow the multi

Not Speaking for n Party.
II speak without reference to any party
and to the adherents of all, and / conjure
the free men Oh this land 10 commence the
new Columbian era by voting once at least
and at once according to their consciences,
and so leave the result with the Lord of
hosts himself. 1t is only by acting in
earnest singleness of heart at this juncture
that even we, the most favored nation upon
earth, can at all recover strength enough to
see just where this nation stands, and per
chance conserve our resources to meet the
coming crisis.
Signs Do Fail Sometimes.
For unless all signs must go for naught,
and the voices OF history, chronology and
astronomy are mocking that of prophecy,
we are already at the edge of days when
human hearts will surely melt except they
be found upon the side OF right and justice
and are staid in those eternal principles
which gave our land its pristine glory.
Those who do not believe in a coming mil
lennum should certainly do their utmost
to realize its ideal in so far as possible. and

Talking of patent medicine.

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some of
them are between you and US.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0crythsng and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
"stuff," you lose faith in eoe,y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way 10 seil a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do you
get your money back.

Management.


Management.
CHICAGO, Oct 31.-The American section
of the Socialist Labor party met yesterday
afternoon to discuss the action of the
Worlds fair commission in closing the
gates of the Worlds fair at O'Clock week
days. Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the wage earners have come to the con-
cluson that from the start it has been too
painfully evident that the national and
local directors of the fair have been unani-
nous in their determination to make of the
great Columbian exposition an aristocratic,
plutocratic, kid-gloved affair from first to
last.
An Alternative Demand.
That in their latest action in closing the
gates Sundays and evenings, the only per-
iods when the common people have an op-
portunity of gazing on the marvellous re-
suits of their own industry, the people
clearly perceive that they have received a
polite invitation to stay away. Then fol-
lows a denunciation of the exercises, and
the resolutions close as follows: "Resolved,
That this BODY of wageworkers, on behalf
of their fellow laborers of all lands, demand
that the Worlds fair shall be open on Sun
day or kept open each week day until II
o'clock p. M"

THE NEW WAR SCARE ANENT ENG
LAND.

The, s-ensationalists have recently con-
jured up something Of a war
scare in the relations between
this Government and that Of
Great Britain. The whole matter is
sufficiently set out and described in the
following press telegram that has been
going the rounds Of the newspapers for
the past few days:
IF Canada has built and armed three
vessels for service on the lakes, as de-
scribed by the officers Of the Revenue
Marine Service at Washington, il amounts
10 a declaration of war" said Major
General Nelson 4. Miles, abiding
10 the British revenue cutters described
in the New York World recently.
Il do not want to be quoted as say
Ing that Canada or Great Britain means
war" said General Miles. THE fact is,
though, that these three vessels are in
direct violation Of the treaty of 1917,
which limits the war vessels that either
our Government or Great Britain can
maintain on the lakes to a certain num-
Der and limits their gun power. The ac-
ton of the Canadian authorities in build
ing the three vessels described by the Off
Ger of the Revenue Marine Service violates
the treaty in both particulars.
ENGLAND can send a large fleet or
light-draught war vessels up the ST. Law
renee river into the Great Lakes which
could burn every town from Duluth TO
Detroit. And the singular thing is that
the United States could do scarcely any
thing by way Of defense so far as doing
battle on the water is concerned, for,
while we nave some light-draught war
ships that could get through the canal
we could not get them to the upper lakes,
for the reason that they would have to
pass through British possessions"
General Miles has a list showing that
the British navy has 50 protected cruisers,
IS unprotected cruisers, 20 torpedo YES
sells, "a gun vessels, ? armored vessels, 6
dispatch vessels and 5 armed steamers
Of dr1ught light enough to allow their
passage through the Welland canal.
Now here is an officer in the United
States army, holding the very highest
rank now existing, who deliberately puts
out to the world the above serious state
ments. And what are the facts?
The Canadians are building three small
revenue cutters to watch smuggling on
their side Of the lakes. They have re-
peatedly done the same thing before with
out comment or remark, and, If it is any
violation of the treaty to build and float
such craft on the lakes, our own Govern
ment has violated it repeatedly, for we
have frequently built and launched just
such, and are navigating them now
In other words, the whole thing is a
sensation, neither more nor less. But what
is t. be thought Of a major-general in the
United States army who sends out such
stuff? This is to be thought: That he is
a Yankee Of s~trictest cut and a political
general who got his place in the army by
politics and rot ~ fighting.

The District OF Columbia is comInon

States. None have. rights there superior
to any others. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and the Pennsylvania railroad
happen TO have been the first roads that
secured from Congress terminal rights in
the district. Naturally they desire to ex-
clude ali other roads from similar rights.
but the District should be free to all
Americans. and the people Of the District
should nave the advantages Of all roads
that wish to come there.
The Norfolk and Western wants TO en-
ter the District, but it is publicly stated
that Senator German has pigeon hOled
their bill in the District committee, and
will not allow 1t to come out. This Is,
Of course. because Of some other interest
he represents. This is German all over.
But what else can be expected from a
man guilty Of his duplicity at Chicago?
Why the people Of Maryland allow this
man to continue his rule of them by his
degrading methods Of patronage and
plumber is something that outsiders are
utterly unable to understand. Unless
hey throw It off. it must come in time
to sap and undermine that gallant Chi
valric nature they inherited from their
noble Catholic ancestry.

WHY then, should anybody go over a super

then, without apparent rhyme or reason,

The answer to an inquiry Into the rea-
son of this curious. but very objectionable,
state OF things would be the vicious plan
adopted by the Council for spending the
peoples money.
In this case equality among the wards
is not equality to the people.
The older and central wards are more

large sums spent on them in bygone
years.
II the Council will take this subject UP

good TO the greatest number OF our citi-

away, we believe they will appropriate
the money wisely and justly. They GER
