midst of winter. How beautifully the
light of the moon is reflected OH tho
mantle of whiteness that now envelops
earth! How the sunshine touches and

Second-The power and influence of
the gospel.
The year has seen no little of turmoil
and strife among some leaders of relig-
ious thought. Christianized humanity
has been called to witness a battle
among intellectual giants. The warfare
has been waged around the citadel of
truth. That fortress has as yet suffered
none. The battle is primarily on other
ground. The Scripture has not been
nor can it ever he in jeopardy. Opin-
ionism and creedS are giving way be-
fore the marshaled hosts of Bible cham
pions. Two many have in past cen.
turtles butted out their brains against
this book in vain endeavOr to destroy it
for any sane person to fear that uch
f0olhardy action shall be repeated i'm
this age. How long will it take those
whose faith is weak to realize that
around the inspired volume are the
panopied legionS OF heaven backed by
the everlasting power of God? Has
Christianity weakened during the wear
that is passed? If thousands in this
city have surrendered TO the converting
influence OF the gospel, what shall we
say of the number in the entire world?
Instead OF fulfilling the prophecy OF
those minds that fondle dreams and hal
fluctuations the Christian religion laughs
their prediction to sc0rn and thriyes
amid the clamOr for her cruciiXion.
The best intellects. the purest minds,
the hottest spirits are gathering about
the gospel and its divine founder The
prayer of Christ for the unity of his peo-
pie nearS its cOnSummation. There is an
Influence at work that is slowly but
surely disintegratng the human con-

SOME Nl,KINLEY FIGuREs.

The report Of the collector Of customs
for the Chicago Office enables an exami-
nation to be made of the bearings of
McKinleyism on the different articles it
touches, and the average rate, as well as
the particular rate, to be aScertaiued.
The total value Of imported goods re-
ceiyed at the port of Chicago during the
calendar year was ST, 3SS; 400, of which

goods, amounting to s13, 349, $685. there
were collected duties to the amount of

cles paying tax, we find that man.
ufactures Of cigars and tobacco paid
12S per cent tax; cutlery averaged p

rent. The opposition of the ladies to
McKinleyiSm becomes clear, as we'll
rs reasonable, when we find that all
those articles of necessary wear grouped
under the general head of dress
goods carry n tax that averages 60 per

when they learn that they must pay 60
cents with each dollar they wish to in

STATE PRESS TIPS.

The Minnesota legislature will meet
on Monday next. The sessions are lin
tied to sixty days, but it may adjourn
as soon as its business is completed.
Heretofore, at least half the time of that
body was taken up with the considera-
ton of special legislation. BY the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment prohibiting this class of legisa
ton, the labors of the session are cur
tailed one-half or more. Under these
circumstances. sixty days session is
more than sufficient and should be in
sisted upon. We trust that the Demo
cratic members will make an effort TO
shorten the session and curtail expenses.

A great question that is now being
agitated by state politicians is as to
whether it would be best for the Re-
publicans, through their majority in the
state legislature, to appoint two new
judges to the supreme court, making
seven. instead of five upon the bench.
Gov.-elect Nelson is said to be in favor
of the measure. In case it is carried
into effect, Ira B. Mills, Republican,
from the Fourteenth judicial district,

tribes at the present day, but we do
know that in civilized peoples. whose

in 20 per cent of feet the organ has lost
one or more of its normal complement
of muscles. But though shorn of some
of its elements, and with others as mere
