Obedience to Law.


The American Journal of Edu.
cation for April contains the fol-
loving article from the pen of
our friend, j. n. David, who is
too we'll known to many of our
readers to need any special intro
duction here.
Your scope is as mine own,
So to enforce the laws"

An eastern king, coming back
at the head of a victorious army,
leading the conquered ruler in
triumph, and followed by herds
of bleating sheep and lowing
oxen, was met by the aged seer
who, IN the sternest language,
denounced the triumphant king
words that have tioated down
through the food centuries: BE
hold to obey is better than sacri-
flee, and to hearken than the fat
of rams"
Children in our public schools,
full of ambition and anxious to
succeed, as life with its varied
prospects lies all before them
need to have it deeply impressed
on them, that obedience to law is
the only road to success. obedi.
ence to physical law retains the
force of the oft instructive eye
and ear, keeps the joyous life
bounding through the pulses in
the body. Obedience to economic
laws gives a competence to furn.
ish home with It's comforts, and
leads on to wealth. Obedience
to mental laws fills the mind with
knowledge, and enables 1T to en-
joy the precious thoughts stored
in literature. Obedience to the
laws of our spiritual nature un-
folds the noblest part of our be-
ing, makes us lovers Of men and
lovers of God, gives peace on
earth and promises eternal ages
of the highest felicity. Then let
US impress indelibly on the mind
of the child that obedience 10 slaso
is the road to success.

Minnesota did the North

prayers, flowers, music and
speech making by distinguished
men, the building which stands
as its representative in this clus.

opened and dedicated, even tots

champagne.
Prominent among the many
State and foreign buildings, is
the one for which the Legislature
of Illinois appropriated $500. 900
to build and finish, and truly the
money has been well spent. The
dedication of this palace took
place lastweek. and Coy. Altgeld
and his brilliantly arrayed STAFF
were on hand to lend their pres
ence to the exercises. There
was speech making by the gov,
ernor and also by Chicago's
mayor, Carter Harrison, soldiers
in bright uniforms, music, and
ladies bedecked in rainbow.
colored bonnets. Perhaps the
favored few VINO held invites
TO the good things to eat on the
second floor, voted that part of
the ceremonies the best.
Certain it is, that when the.
dedicatory exercises of other
States are held, they will have
to stir themselves to equal their
sister State, Illinois.

to say that one will not regret

Even to walk the plaisance from

when he makes the statement, lately

lacking in information or he does not

EXPORTS OF SILVER.

Where L. All the Silver That 1t L. Said Free
Coinage VIII Caused to Be Dumped Upon
Us?
During the year ended May 81, 1898,
we exported so, 1885, SIS of silver and
imported gas, 764. 542 of the same metal;
excess of exports, s16, ST., ,e3e. The i'm
ports mostly came from Mexico and
the exports mainly went to Europe
The question arises why Europe
should have taken this large amount of
silver from US, if, as some people would
make us believe, all Europe is so
anxious to dump her vast but imagi-
nary boards of unused silver upon this
country. The truth is, as these figures
prove, that there is no surplus of silver
anywhere. The vast stores of that
metal form part of the circulation of
the different nations, and none of it
can be spared. More is needed right
along, as the figures we have quoted
prove. Nearly every steamer takes out
some of the white metal.
1t plainly follows that if silver were
once more raised to a fixed legal value
In the same way that the coinage value
of gold rs established by law, it would
become stable at that value the world

Politics in AIaha,na.

The above caption is the title to
pamphlet recently published by J. C.
Manning, of Birmingham, Ala Mr..
Manning is an earnest, enthusiastic
and aggressive populist and one of the
leaders of the reform forces in Alabama.
He will be remembered as the ''boy or
ator" who put Gen. Weaver in nomina-
ton at Omaha. Not only is he pow
erful debater and eloquent orator, but
he is caustic and logical writer His
pamphlet is an exhaustive and truthful
account of the Kolb-Jones campaign in
Alabama last fall, and faithfully por-
trays the methods by which the bour-
bons of that state defeated the will of
the people. Not only is this pamphlet
worth reading, per Sc, but the proceeds
OF its sale are to be devoted tocampaign
purposes in the contest to be decided in
Alabama this all. Send twenty-five
cents to Mr.. Manning and help along

venomous serpents, were not intended
to work in sockets and lie fat against
the upper jaw when not in use, but
were stationery in the jaw. / picked
up the snake to take it with me for
better investigation at my quarters, but
the native was so Mortified at the pros
pect of having it in the boat with him
that he absolutely and emphatically re-
fused to come ashore after me unless I
left the bushmaster, which was reluct-
antly forced to do, as could get back
home in no other way than by the
canoe.
Another venomous snake of South
America of which the natives live in
mortal terror is one called the manuta.
1t abounds in parts of Venezuela.
There is an old Indian guide down
there who tells most grewsome story
of how he started once to act as guide
and canoeman for an English sports
man and his young son, and how he
returned with them both dead in his
canoe. The son, in stepping ashore
from the boat, was struck in the wrist
by a manuta, and died in few minutes
after he was got back into the boat
the father, wild with grief over the
awful death of his boy, threw himself
on his sons body and kissed his lips
before the guide, knowing what the
result would be, could prevent him.
The father thus absorbed the deadly
manuta venom, which had permeated
every vein and every pore of the boys
body, and soon lay dead beside his SON
in the boat.
Whether the old Indian guides
awful tale is true or not / have no
means of knowing, but having seen a
mule that died in two minutes after
being bitten by manuta, do not feel
like doubling it. The snake that killed
the mule was killed Immediately after
ward, and it was the only specimen Of
the manuta 1 ever saw. In general
physical formation it resembled closely
our rattlesnake, having but two fangs,
closing up in sockets like the rattler's."

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. 26.-It is
tacitly understood to-day by the majority
of the delegates to the General Assem- bly,
Of the Knights of Labor that upon the
opening of the session tomorrow morning
Powderly's resignation will be almost GER
tainly accepted. A telegram was sent to
James X. Sovereign al Des Moines asking
him if he would accept the Office which
Powderly seeks to vacate. Itwas sent late
this afternoon and signed by nineteen del
egates, some of whom heretofore had been
known as very friendly to the interests of
Powderly.
At 1880 o'clock tonight reply was re-
ceived. In substance Sovereign said: IF
Powderly resigns l will accept the office of
general master workman if rendered me.
and will do all in my power to work for the
good of the order"
This practically puts an end to the con-
troversy now going on. The anti-Powder-
lyites still hold vote of twenty-four,
which is a majority. and upon reassem-
bling tomorrow will get right down to
business. Caucuses are being held TO-
night. both by Powderly's friends and
those of the Western favorite, for the pur-
pose of getting the forces properly in
structed and marshaled for the battle of

Sovereign are loud in their claim for his
victory and his fitting qualities for Office.
