should ever be.

tured a large majority on the Dem
ocratic side of the house. Ardent
silver Democrats are falling into
line rapidly. says the Washington
correspondent of the Courier-Jour-
nal, and within the next week the
democratic side of the house will
be practically united in favor Of n
financial bill embodying the sug-
gestion of the secretary of the
treasury. The mombors of congress
are still diligently engaged reading
the secretary's 4 report, Some ,d
them have read the financial part
Of it over three or four times.
The latest and strongest man in
the house to endorse the plan is
Speaker Crisp. He is enthusiastic
over the recommendation of the
secretary and proposes to to give
it his earnest and cordial support.
Gen. Catchings, the lieutenant of
Speaker Crisp, is earnestly for the
plan. Mr.. Springer, chairman of
the banking and currency commit
tee, is working hard for the meas
ure, and is1backed by the commit
tee.
The committee met on Monday.
Secretary Carlisle was before it
and explained in detail his plan
and answered all questions asked
of him. The prospects are that a
bill drawn on the Carlisle plan
was introduced Wednesday, and it
is believed that the bill will be
passed and sent to the senate be-
fore the holiday recess.
1t is not likely that it can pass
the senate this session on account
of the failure of the Democrats in
that body to change the rules. The
result will be that the Populists
and Republicans will talk it to
death. But its passage by the
Democratic house will be some-
thing, for when the Republicans
take possession of congress they
will be compelled to adopt sub
stantially the Carlisle plan, and the
fact that it was passed by Demo-
cratic house makes it a Democratic
measure, and if it proves success,
as it is believed it will, the Repub-
licans will not be able to share all
the credit.
Congratulations are pouring in
on Secretary Carlisle from every
side on his able exposition of the
financial situation. Some carping
critics are prating that his plan is
an old scheme, and the Republic
cans are diving down into old rec
ords trying to find Republican
speech or document advocating the
same system of currency. Indeed,
the Republicans are deeply cha
grined to discover that the Demo-
Gratis had man in their party far
sighted and brainy enough to sug-
gest a way out of financial trou
BILE that was not only creating dis
trust in business circles, but Sc
riously embarrassing the credit of
the government. Until the Car
Isle plan or something like it is
enacted into a law, the frequent
issue of government bonds will be
u necessity in order to sustain the
public credit.
Judge Beckner, since reading Soc-
retary Carlisle's report more care
fully, is even better pleased with
his financial idea than he was at
first. He was heard to remark:

charity for sin.
Sooner or later pride is sure to
step on dynamite.
No man ever gets religioh right
until Christ gets him.
No man gets better pay than the
one who does, Gods work.
Some people forget that there is
a good deal of gospel in a hand

No matter what the situation
may be, trust in God is never a
mistake. ,r.t
a conceited man is apt to think
that he can get along without Gods
help.
The days are never long enough
for the man whose heart is in his
work.
1t is great mistake to try to
point to Christ with a frown on
the face.
The devil is in partnership with
the man who does all his work with
his mouth.
While we are true to God, dark
ness is always the forerunner of
brighter light.
The Christian should never look
at appearances to find out what
God is doing.
1t is still as safe to trust God as
it was on the day Daniel went into
the lions den.
We cannot enjoy communion
with Christ until we are willing to
be altogether like him.
The Christians life is q failure

Some people use religion as they
do their silver spoons; only when
they have company.
The preacher who tears leaf
out of the Bible might as well
throw away the whole book.
God loves to have men become
rich by finding out that he will
not disappoint their trust.

test without being rewarded with
immediate and abiding rest.

Whenever we open the door to a
doubt the devil has messenger
with bad news ready to come in.
1t is only as Gods thoughts are
known and obeyed that men rise
above the condition of the brute.
Theology is what men under
stand the Bible to teach about
God. Salvation is what we know
of him.
When you want to know what
Christianity is, look at Christ; not
at the hypocrites in the church.
The Bible has nothing to say
about "pink teas" but there is
much in it about the s. feast of fat

BY observing how he treats the
poor, is probably the way the angels
find out what a rich man thinks

A few years ago an old beam engine,
built by James Watt, which had been do
ing regular daily work for 1o2 years, was
taken down and replaced by modern en-

able it to work to 10 horsepower 1t had

coal of 459 pounds per indicated horse
