IN commenting upon the fact made plain that Harrison wants the republican party to nominate him for president in 1896 an exchange says
 What does Gen. Harrison stand for2 What did he stand forg Moth ing salient save the Force bill, and the Republican party is now aware that Force bills are not pleasant to handle Even of that policy of force, Gen. Harrison was only the acciden- tai and secondhand representative. He also got one or two ideas from Mr Blaine, but he was not identified in the Republican mind with any re publican principle, or otherwise rec commended by popular manners or intellectual brilliancy.
 Our contemporary forgets that President Harrison stood for some thing more than the force bill. He stood for McKinleyism, for lodging the financial issue, for extravaganza in public affairs, and as an apolo gist for the republican legislation which is responsible for the ills the country suffers from at the present time.

Opening of the Cherokee strip

IL IS expected that the Cherokee Strip will be thrown open for settlement on or about September 1nth, next. Indi- cations point to large number of Ar kansans attending this event, and for the information of those It might be well to say that the Iron Noun tain Route, via Coffeyville, Is the shortest and most direct line to the prominent outfltting points, Arkansas City and kiowa. The Passenger Department of this company has issued very valn- able pamphlet entitled "Indian Tarri. tory, Oklahoma and Cherokee Strip.

Day of Fasting and Prayer.

.I, an apostle fnot of men, neither
 by men, but by God the Father who
 raised him from the dead @'
 To all the brethren who live at Rus
 sellyilie greeting:
 Alter much prayer and fasting, with continued anxiety and deep interest in your spiritual welfare, l am especially impressed to address you this open but brotherly and loving letter. For vour good aud mine, and the glory of God as well, beg you in Jesus name with me to set apart next Thursday, Aug. 3, us day of fasting and prayer for Gods blessings upon our church and His cause generally in Russellville. Meet me at the ehur oh at 9 8. m. on said day. in this connection n ote the example of Ezra, an old-time bible revivalist:
 "I, he says, proclaimed fast that we might afflict ourselves before God to seek of him right way for us, and our little ones, ,and for all our substance So we lasted and besought our God for this and He was entreated for us.'
 .gThere seems 9o be desire in some circles to rule God out of the universe and to relegate everything back to cause and effect. But God Is still upon the throne administering His own laws, moral, physical and spiritual, ,and where fasting Is obsolete, religion is at low ebb, and power with God is gone.
 One of u e strange marvels of these times is that ministers can be found W ho tell us that fasting has no place in the New Testament, and that 1t is new CT calculated to assist faith in achiev- ing any of its mighty victories. The old time evangelists, whose faith laugh- ed at impossibilities and cried, "It shall be done," were not strangers to fasting and prayer. If in these modern times there was more fasting and pray CT by the pastors and people, there would be more devils cast out.
 Ezra added prayer to his fasting. This prayer is a model both as to mat ter and spirit. Almost any person can tell what church needs. An entire regiment of this class would not help on much in revival service; there Is, however, call for men and women who can face God in efficient knee work and secure what is aeeded. Ezra seem ed to have only enc object in view. He approached God as though he himself were guilty of the offenscs of the peo- pie. Q my God, I am ashamed. and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God; for our lniquities are increased over our heads. and our trespass Is grown up unto the heavens. Since the days of our fathers have we been in great trespass unto this day. Ezra prayed aud confessed. weeping In holy intercourse with God. in heavenly vision, patriarchs. prophets, a apostles, pastors and laymen have comme need their eventful careers. From the clos ct to the church; from thelr knees to the pulpit has been the motto of the men and women who have faced God

Tn efficient knee work, pleading for the salvation of men.
 We will see the necessity of much earnest prayer, when we stop and think that until the Spirit be poured out from on high the most pungent truths, the most fender appeals and the most at tractive manner are in vain. Every thing will remain as hard and dead as stone wall until infused by the quick ening influence of the Spirits power.
 seThe need of revival is voiced in the following extract from the report of the committee on The Spiritual State of the Church, at the last Gcner- al Conference Of the M. E. Church South. After reviewing the causes for gratitude to God for His mercics, the bishops add: Tn this gratifying re view, however, we find nothing to flat ter our pride, but much to foster our humility, to awaken sentiments of re- pentance, and to cherish purposes of amendment. Our piety, our self-sacri- flee, our Christian enterprise have not been equal to our growth, much less to our standards and to our time-honored ecclesiastical landmarks. An inerdi- nate love of the world in the forms of wealth, of fashion, and of am usements, has largely diffused itself among our people, and corrupted their spiritual integrity. The peculiar institutions and uses of Methodism have been fire. quently neglected or abandoned, and a relaxation of wholesome discipline has diminished our strength and impaired our testimony against the vices of the age In which we live. To these ten- dencies, to which VIC are perpetually exposed by the pressure of the world, the flesh and the devil, and to these actual departures from the old paths we earnestly call your prayerful atten- tion.' Rev. Joseph Plcase-them-all says that the bishops who signed that report are pessimists, but the Confer ence adopted it and ordered it's inser- ton in the discipline. A genuine and general revival is Gods remedy for such state."
 Let's see to It that our part of this needed work is done. We will never do 1t in any other way exeepG by going te o...- knees and continuing in prayer until we are revived out of this dead state. In earnestness and love, am

THERE is no further use for argu- ment now The facts are made plain and doubters are relegated to the rear. There is no longer excuse for ignorance in any quarter as to the cause of this summers disturb anee in business and financial cir cles. President Harrison has been prevailed upon to break his silence and tell just what is the matter. This he does in his usually candid, straightforward, though somewhat blunt way. It takes him something less than column to do it, but when he does it it is done The sum of it all is that the conn try has gone to the dogs because it turned him out of the White House few months ago

THOSE who favor a single or gold standard have great deal to say about France suspending the coin age of silver few years ago But they are careful not to say word about the .all important fact that before she did so she had larger amount of silver in use per capita than any other leading nation. When the United States has as much silver in use for money as France, it will then be time enough to talk about suspending coinage here.

IT is useless and foolish to borrow trouble or to attempt to cross a riv- CT before you come to it. It is not lack of money that has effected the country, because there is just as much money now as there has been for many years. It is the lack of confidence that has been the cause of all this worry and withdrawal of money from the avenues of trade If the people who have money in their pockets and strong boxes would put it in circulation times would brighten up immediately.
