WHAT 1HE g1BLE has DONE.

How comes it that this little volume. by
humble men, in rude age, when art and
science were but in their childhood, has ex-
erted more influence on the human mind and
on the social system than all other books put
together? Whence comes 1t that this book
has achieved such marvellous changes in the
opinion of mankind-has abolished infantic-
ide-has put down polygamy and divorce
exalted the condition Of women raised the
standard ofpublic morality-created for fam
lilies that blessed thing, q Christian home
and caused its other triumphs by causing be-
neyolent institutions, open and expansive, to
spring I'D as with the wand Of enchantment?
What sort OF book Is this, that even the winds
and waves of human passions obey it2 What
other engine Of social improvement has op-
Grated 80 long, and yet lost none OF its virtue.
Since it appeared, many boasted plans Of
amelioration have been tried and failed.
many codes of jurisprudence have arisen and
run their course, and expired. Empire after
empire has been launched upon the tide Of
time, and gone down, leaving no trace upon
the waters. Butths book Is still going about
doing good, leavening society with its holy

be Of God?
TWO TO SEE.
stwhy did you not pocket some OF those
pears?'' said one boy to another, ''nobody
was there to see." Eyes, there was; I was
there to see myself, and I don't mean to SEQ
myself do such thing" looked at the
boy who made this noble answer; he was
poorly clad, but he had noble faco, and
thought how there were always two to see
your sins, yourself and your God; one accns-
es and the other judges. How, then, can we
ever escape from the consequences OF our
sins? We have Il friend in Jesus Christ He
says, Come to me; cast your sins at my
feet; have died to save you. Trust in me,
and will plead for you, and befriend you. "
Will you not prize such friend, and feel
that he is indeed 'One above all othersy-

BISMARCK, n. D.. Jan. 3.-The chief in
terest in the session of the North Dakota
Legislature, which convened today, centers
In the contest for a successor to United
States Senator Casey. The Republicans
have clear majority and the result hinges
ON the decision of the party caucus. A
caucus for officers of both houses was held
this morning, but the opponents of Sena-
tor Casey hope to secure his defeat by pre-
venting caucus on the senatorship. 1t
is alleged that some of them made over
lures to the Democrats and called Cleve-
lands attention to the matter. The latter,
it is said, refused TO have anything to do
with it, saying that the party could not
afford to run the risk of being charged
with corruption, and advising the election
of as clean Republican as possible. 1t
seems likely that Casey will be elected.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 3.-A caucus of the Re
publican members of the legislature has
been called for tomorrow night to elect a
candidate to the United States senate to
succeed Cushman X. Davis, whose term
expires March 4. There is no question of
the resul. as there is practically no oppost-
ton to Davis reelection, and the Joint
caucus will undoubtedly decide in his favor
by acclama:ion.
The legislature met at noon and organ
ized. w. E. Lee was chosen speaker of
the house and L. A Johnson chief clerk.
Both are Republicans. Last year a COM
bination OF Democrats and Alliance men
organized the senate. This year the Re-
publicans secured the adherence of three
Alliance men, formerly Republicans, and
secured control. Lieut.. Gov. Clough, from
whom the power to appoint committees
was taken by the combination last year.

Senator Z. FL. Folsom was chosen secre-
tary, and the Republicans filed the other
offices. Gov. Nelson was sworn in today, but
the Inauguration proper will not take place
until tomorrow.

TENURE OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
The Supreme Court Decides That Terms
Begin in January.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 3.-[Special. The su-
preme court made quick work of the
Pierce county case of McMurray VS.. Hol-
lis. relating TO the terms of county off,
GERS. The transcript was filed on Satur-
day, the case was submitted on briefs on
Monday and the opinion was filed this
evening. The opinion is concurred in by
all the judges, who decide that the new
term begins in January. Following is
the opinion:
Under the stiNulatious contained in the rec
ord the only question which this eour. is called
upon TO decide is this:
Does the term OF the county officers elected on
the sth day OF November, 1872 begin on the Sec
ond Monday in January or upon the first Mon
day in March, 1887
II upon the former date, il is conceded that
the Judgment of the lower court must be
affirmed and If upon the latter that IL should DO
reversed II is conceded by the briefs OF the
respective counsel that the decision of this
question depends upon the fact a. to whether
or not the act of February 4. lss5, entitled
"An act TO prescribe the tenure OF
Office in the territory OF Washington" is still in
sorce. When this state adopted its constitution

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 3.-The legi,la-
ture met this morning and proceeded with
organization. The Republicans organ
lied the senate, choosing the officers
named in the caucus, and the Democrats
did the same in the assembly. No other
business was transacted. The Democrats
are jubilant over the fact that Burke,
non-partisan. of San Francisco. went into
the Democratic caucus last night, as they
take that as an indication that he will
stand with them on the senatorial fight.
They also claim that Carlson. Independ-
ent, will vote for White. which greatly
strengthens that gentleman's position.
