A DEB. SUPPRESSION.

DEBS!
A splendid rhyme for s'Rebs! %
IL always has occurred TO me
In Wr1ting-welI, say poetry
That there were words
BY doZens-herdS-
That had no rhyme
Quite up TO time.
But Debs
When rhymed with Rebs,
Seems wondrous sensible,
So reprehensible
Is DebS
It goes with ebbs
Which shows a tendency
For the aScendency
OF Government DER Debs.
Dear Debs doth show
Not IN the flow;
Con1rariwise the tide is low
For Debs.
We're on the brink,
Some people think,
Ofanarchy;
But as for me
I don't believe it. III confess
It sometimes seems SO in the press,
The Populists
Would like to govern with their fists:
But on the whole, from Texas up TO Maine,
The anarchists disuctly on the wane
From Florida 30 far OF Idaho
The teachings of that tribe have little go:
And we've enough OF people with prepenge
For decent living and for solid sense
To save the land, including Pennsylvania,

also encourage its citizens to do the same
in ways and to an extent which the State
cannot wisely undertake. The safety,
prosperity and honor of a city, for ex-
ample, are indicated in no small degree
by the church buildings, institutions of
of learning hospitals, libraries and mu-
seums of art aud science it contains,
maintained both by public and private
benefeence. We admit that the ques-
ton whether or not these institutions
should be taxed is not settled. Some
hold that more even distribution OF
public burden would follow if taxes were
laid without exemption or favor, upon
all property. They would tax the prop
erty of churches, museums OF art, free
libraries, hospitals and colleges on the
same principles that all forms of private
property and business are taxed. The
consequences of such change in the
methods Of raising money TO carry on
government we do not propose now to
discuss. We wish only to call attention
to the unfairness of singing out church
property for taxation among the various
kinds devoted to the public welfare and
now exempt. But if all institutions in
tended not for private gain, but for the
public good, are made taxable, churches
will not ask for exemption.n
and never more than now, is a wider diff
fusion of the spirit of Jesus Christ.
There is nothing that can sweeten and
purify the social atmosphere but that"
thinks the New York Examiner (Bapt.).
''Good laws are well in their way. They
are, and doubtless always will be in this
sin-cursed world, necessary tor the re-
straint of the lawless; and courts, police
and the military arm must be maintained
to secure the due enforcement Of the laws.
But laws, however good, cannot make
good men. Their effect is necessarily su
perficial. To redeem society, individual
character must first be redeemed, and
this can only be accomplished by per-
sonal conformity to the mind and will of
Christ. Illuminating from the pulpit
against this or that special sin may serve
to arouse public attention, and secure,
perhaps, temporary remedy. But the
preaching that wins men to Christ-that
leads to radical Transformation of char
acter-is the preaching that best helps on
the cause of righteousness in the earth.
Unless our country can be permeated
with the spirit OF the Lord Christ, there
is very little hope OF any lasting cure of
the ills that af1lict u.s."

Prices too High.

The Carson Appeal says. The syn
dlcate OF Eastern investors who de-
sired to take up land in the Carson
valley, are now investigating in the
Southern part Of the State. They say
the land is held very high here, as
soon as any one wants to purchase,
and that the high railroad freights
are also drawback. They are turn
ing towards the southern part of Nye
county as it is on the same isothermaI
line as Los Angeles and will be cut
by the new railroad. 1t is pity that
the people of this part of the State
are SO short-sighted us to raise the
price of land as soon as investors show
up.
