"The Pohick church, for which
George Washington drew plans, is still
standing firmly on it's foundations.
The solid walls. eighteen inches thick,
are so well constructed that they will

the midnight conferences in hotels

thors of the senate tariff bill and trust
magnates before 1t was deemed safe to
report the bill to the full senate. That
such q revenue measure, 50 conceived
and 50 published. revolutionary in its
purpose and destructive TO American
industry in its effect, should pass the
senate ought to be impossible. II will
be Impossible If northern Democratic
senator's are not faithless TO their con-
stituents and regardless OF their per-
sonal interests. The Democratic party
may well survive the defeat of such a
measure, but every election held in any
northern state since the tariff bill was
reported TO the country shows that the
party cannot hope to survive the pass
age of the bill
1t could not be fought or changed or
improved in the slightest respect in

and senate, because the organization Of
both houses foreordained whom the con-
ferees would be. They would have been
radical free traders, the most revolu-
tionary economists Of both houses. MOI
The time and place to defeat the ad-
ministration tariff is in the open SEN
ate. Thirty-eight Republican senators
are resolute and united in their opposl-
ton. If there are four, or even three,
Democratic senator's who love their
country and have the courage of their
convictions, the assault of a discredited
administration upon American homes
and American industries will fail and
there will be an end OF Cleveland

used in vain to compel the confirmation
OF Mr., Peckham and Mr. Hornblower
OF forcing the tariff bill through the
senate. The defenders OF northern in
dustrles were urged to send the bill into
conference committee OF the two housei
and to make their appeals for amend
ments there. Happily for them and the
country. this scheme has been defeated
and the bill is now before the open SEN
ate for fair debate and vote ON amend.
ment, In the house, representatives Of
northern Industries were persuaded to
forward the bill to the senate, where
public hearings were pledged and ample
opportunity promised for modification
OF the schedules framed by southern
free traders, The result Is well known.
The Wilson bill passed the house, aided
by votes Of New Jersey, New York, Ohio
and New England representatives, toI
whose constituents the bill meant i'm.
poverishment. II not actual ruin. Once
In the senate all hearings were denied.
For the first time in nearly half a cen

American industry and almost every
American wage-earner, was amended Sc

The arrival of Mr.. q. l.. Dwyer in
Astoria just at this time is a favorable
omen in the railroad situation. Mr..
Dwyer has the reputation of knowing
what he talks about, and meaning what
he says. He is, moreover believed to be
zealously working in the interest of AS
toria, and without the hope or prospect
of any other reward than such as he
may receive in common with all who
have had the courage and foresight to
invest money in the town and vicinity.
The statement from such an authority
that the road is positively as
sured, and that it will be COM
menced in very short time,
carries weight with even the most con-
servatlve citizens. There is decided
revival OF confidence in the enterprise
since Mr. Dwyers visit and it is be-
lieved that on his return from Portland,
where he went for few days last even
ing, some positive and substantial de-
may be looked for in the
right direction.

WORSHIP.
By member of Glass b.

What is the largest view man can take of wOr
ship? Every hour of the day millions are kneeling
in worship Take a globe and turn it towards
YOU. and as the different countries come to the
line of sunrise. we can imagine the different peO-
pie offering up prayer. Following each other come
the prayers to Budda. to Allah, to Jehovah and
Jesus that the worship of mankind never
ceases for a moment. Does God listen to all
this discOrd and if so what does he think of it?
As he has never answered. we will draw the con-
illusions that all this worship is agreeable to him,
or unheard. 1t is fashionable to end the discus
sion of every subject with taste of evolution;
for. evolution seems to give a satisfactory answer
to all phases of growth. But evolution in religion
is a bugbear to any one trusting to inspired
scripture Gods listening to the world worship
can only be explained by his affection for all
creatures; and with his insight he measures the
value of their dOings. COnfuciuS organized a
religion of common sense. which in 5000 years
experienced no evolution SObriety. thrift. polite
ness and helpfunesS were its fruits. and history
is It's science. MOhammed organized a religion
of enthusiasm. To destroy all other worship but
that of Allah was its aim. 1t was a religion of
Self-Sacrice on battle fields: yet it abolished
drunkenness. gambling and prostitution. the
three curses of Christian lands. Jesus formed
the religion of human friendship: Ito love God
and thy neighbor as myself He alone negoti-
ated the alliance of God and man. and sealed the
compact with his blood. The world was full of
wickednesS. The rObber, the IlSurer, the slave
holder and the murderer reigned supreme. All
sects seemed to have forgotten their gods and
were cursed through their wickedneSS. Suddenly
there appeared among these wretched people, a
young man who cried: Come unto me all We that
are heavy laden. and will give you rest In
the midst of wrecked society he stood a shining
monument of light upon which the people gazed
in wonder. He taught the fatherhOOd of God
and the brotherhood of man. The traditions of
what HI said and did moulded the history of
civilization. Call Him what you please. He was
Justice love and order; and you may look in vain
to BenareS. Pekin. Mecca or Athens for as orig
inal and complete guide through life. His utter
anceS are impracticable, eXtrayagant and impOs-
Sible if yOu will have it SO, but they will not de-
ceive you or miSead from noble walk in life.
His religion never retarded industry. invention
or enterprise and His precepts. if practicfd in
congress- in merchante pursuits. and in the hall
of justice, would prove as beneficial in the
10th century as they were at Capernaum during
the time OF Caesar.

Injured To Cold.

Some curious facts concerning the hardihOod
TO cold of the natives of Siberia are given in
Reindeer. Dogs and SnOwShOeS. The question to
be considered is do they gradually arrive at this
state of tOughness or are they born so? Is it an
acquired habit or provision of nature? Speak
ing of himself and white companions the author
says: "Frequently. when we could not expose
our ears for two minutes without having them
frozen. the natives would go for an hour at a
time with their hoods thrown back from their
heads; and when it required constant watchful-
ness to keep our noses from freezing. they did
not appear to notice the temperature at all. One
morning in January. stood in perfect amaze
rnent at their disregard of the low temperature
hands. packing up the tent and utensils. hand
ling the packages and flashing them together
with icy seal thongs. without experiencing the
least apparent Inconvenience. while partly froZe

flint and steel. the whole operation taking not
more than three minutes. The night before.
happening to go out of the tent after our men
had retired. passed their camp. which was near
by. Their fire had burned to a pile of embers,
barely affOrdng me light enough to distinguish
the Sleepers. They We're lying cOiled up on small
deerSkins, with their backs to the emberS, and
their fur coats thrown loosely over their naked
bodies. The coat of one of them had slipped al
NEST entirely off his body. leaving his back and
shoulders exposed to a temperature of eighteen
degrees below zero. Fahrenheit; and. though his
hair frosted. he snored as Soundly as if in
comfortable quarters. En-.
