the crossroads waiting for sign posts

to the Behring sea decision. 1t treats
literally on the Siamese embroglio with

Rule is being forced through by the
excessive representation that Ireland
has in the Imperial parliament as COM

and it boldly declares that the Lords
will throw out the bill with an over
whelming majority.

Peace.

The bird, which when put in a cage
flies against the wires in wild efforts to
be free, only bruises it's body, and beats
it's wings into bleeding wounds in un-
availing struggle. Far wiser is the bird
which, when put in cage, begins to
sing. If we would but learn this lesson,
and cheerfully accept the things we
cannot resist, as our Fathers will for
us, we would have peace in our heart,
and would get blessing out of every
trial. Our hearts may be quiet and
confident in any danger because God
watches. "The Lord is thy keeper"
d" He that keepeth thee shall not slum-
ber." 1t is not a mere philosophy of
self control that is taught us. There is
a keeper not our own. 1t is possible for
us so to commit all our life's sorrows,
cares, and alarms to Christ that the
Divine love shall wrap us around like a
blessed atmosphere, quieting all fear
and filling us with holy peace.
Is not the lesson worth learning at
any cost? 1t can be learned; it has
been learned. Its one secret is, perfect
submission TO the will of God. Every
resistance or disobedience causes unrest
and sorrow; but quiet acceptance, with
loving confidence, will bring the peace
of God into the SOul.-EC.

When a man rises from humble to

his discovery, is often attributed to &C.

man. Circumstances into which he
was thrown were of the most important
factors which created his greatness.
Men who have reached the highest
pinnacle of worldly honor, often in look
ing back at the cause of their elevation
point to some trifiing circumstance,
shall we say accident, which was inStru-
mental in their success; and to con-
siderable extent, they found themselves
the children of opportunity. 1t has
been said that there is no one whom
fortune does not visit once during his
life; but opportunity is coy; the careless,
the slow, the unObservant, the lazy fail
to see it or catch at it till it is gone. In
the life of the most unlucky person
there are always some occasions when
by prompt and vigorous action he may

enough to seize the opportunity or to
wait for things to turn up; one must
not only strike when the iron is hot,

GIVE US MEN.

God. give us men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready
hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spOls of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and WILL
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demOgOgue
And damn his treacherous batteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun-crOwned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking!

Their large professions and their little deeds,
Mingle in selfish strife, 10! Freedom weeps.
Wrong rules the land. and waiting Justice sleeps.

The September number of the Recieac
Of Recieacs comes to us with perennial
freshness. 1t takes rather a hopeless
view of the wisdom of our legislators
which the passage of the Wilson bill
partly negatives. 1t takes the President
to task for not having himself stepped
in through the Treasury door and un-
locked the construction by bond issue
and outspoken intention to maintain
all kinds of currency on a footing of
parity; failing to recognize, however,
that that would have given such relief
that terror of the silver leech would
have become mitigated and it's destruc-
ton more difficult. 1t scores the bank
ers as alarmists. 1t touches on the
question of monetary standards and
leaves an impression of being bimetal-
listic, on the theory that the purchasing
power of gold is increasing. 1t speaks
in no uncertain tones of the necessity
of immediate action on the tariff ques-
tion-commerce will move freely in

GONE IS SILVER'S SWAY.

The country is free of it's silver old
man of the sea. By the sweeping vote
of 24O to 40 the Representatives of the
People send word to the Senate that
silver must go. And the Senate will
give ear if they can read the barometer
of public sentiment. Even the 20 to 1
ratio had 1Ol majority against it, show
ing that no compromise could at the
present be considered. Unconditional
repeal alone would restore confidence
and with returning confidence the
whole currency question can be quietly
adjusted
Representative Reed is reported to
have said after the silver purchase vote
was announced "the gold bugs seem
to have beaten the silver bugs and the
straddle bugs as WELL" With all due
humility we beg to protest. 1t was not
a defeat of silver by gold; but the voice
of the people declaring that at least one
monopoly must cease to dominate the
commerce of people and over-cloud
the financial prosperity of great ma
ton. Many voted against silver not
because they wished, but because they
could read the signs of the time, and
hear the deep toned thunder of a gather
ing storm, now, we believe, most hap
PLY averted. 1t is asserted that the en-
tire gold reserve will be at once coined
and issued. It would seem however
that S1OOOOOOOO of currency notes of
So. and $40. denominations would do
more good and be more rapidly handled.
The gold will not consume itself in the
treasury and can be held as collateral
for the notes.

To use vulgar coloquialism the Aa
gOn0ut of San Francisco stalks through
it's hat" when it compares the solidarity
of the 100000 of China with the
many-peopled 25O,OOO,OOO Of India's in
habitants. In China one race is pos
sessed of one tongue and immemorial
customs: in India twenty languages are
spoken by four different religions, at
least two of which hate each the other
more intensly than did papist and pro-
testant of the reformation era. None
of the races of India are willing to be
ruled over by any other; all except the
MOslems, have tasted of the tender
mercies of barbaric rule and appreci-
ate the firm evenness of the powerful
hand that maintains an equality among
them all one with another. England
need only be just to India to find in it's
many millions, in some hour of nation
al peril, an all powerful weapon of Of
tense. The many people of India know
of soldering and modern arms and it
would take no long time to expand the
present system into cheaply fed and
equipped host of brave soldiers who,
properly led, would charge the very
batteries of Hades. If the Russian bear
ever puts it's paw into the Indian hive
it will get more stings than honey.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly pa

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquant the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological informa-
ton. and to aid in diSpelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.

Burleigh Maygood in the Indepeaad-

ent says:
1t is too plain to argue about. A
country given over to lynch law is
damned. A government that is indiffer-
ent to lynch law is foolish and crimi-
nal. A government that can put lynch
law down and will not try to do it, is
itself a traitor to government. A gov
eminent that cannot, is weak and con-
temptible.
This is so much better than we can
say it that further comment is not
needed.

support from the city, he attempts to drive off
from city improvements men who are willing to
work for ST 20 per day. Such are not men; they
are ignorant, demagOgue-led idiots.
The fatuOus Democrats of Iowa again wander

tariff question without trimmings. 1t is the I'M
certainty on this point which has demOralized
commerce and finance, and will continue to
blight until the moot question is settled.

Much Of our space is taken up this
week with views and discussions on

much Of It is premature and had best
be left unsaid. We give Editor WIZ
liaas, observations on the operations
of the Athens law. He made trip
over to Athens and investigated the
workings for himself and gives Us the
results of his observations. These
views will go doubt be read with inter-
est by all of our readers. We do not
think there is any use for any display
of fireworks on the part Of Governor
Tillman. OF course everybody expects
those in authority and those whose
duty it is, to see that the law is en-
forced, and there is no use for any
flourish OF trumpets beforehand.
When the time comes, if any citizen
desires to test the constitutionality OF
the law he is at liberty to carry the
matter into the courts, and the Gov
ernor cannot prevent it.

Reduce Cotton Acreage.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 7.-B. J. West, seere-
tary of the cotton bureau of theNation-
al Farmers Alliance, has issued an
address to the order advising a reduc-
ton of acreage of cotton planting. He
says that the Southern States produced
IS per cent of the cotton grown and 81
per cent of the staple available for use
in this country. He holds that cotton
mills in. the South are desirable, but
unattainable, this not being manu-
featuring country. The salvation of the
Southern farmer is diversifcation Of
crops and living at home, instead of
depending on the pork packers of the
North for food. He points out, in sup
port ofthis argument, that the redue-
tion of the crop this season resulted in
a marked increase in price, and insists
that cotton planters can secure fair
prices every season by keeping produc-
ton within reasonable bounds.
