Jesus VIII HELP Us.

He has done the work already He did
10 eighteen hundred aud sixty-One years
ago. You might as well talk Of Wash
ingtOn as though be were going to
achieve our national Independence In
1880, as Do speak OF Christ as though he
were going Co achieve our salvation 10
the future. He did it 10 the year Of our
Lord 33, eighteen hundred and siXty-one
years ago, on the field Of Bozrah, the
Captain OF our salvation fighting unto
death for your and my emancipation.
All we have 90 do is 20 accept that fact
To- our heart Of hearts, and we are free
for this world, and we are free for the
world 20 come. But, lest we might not
accept. Christ comes through here to-
day, travelling 10 the greatness Of his
strength, not 90 tell you that he is
going 90 light for you some battle in the
future, bur 90 tell you that the battle IS
already fought aud the victory already
won.
You have noticed that, whom soldiers
come home from the wars, they carry
On their flags the names OF the battle
fields where they were distinguished.
The Euglishman coming back has on
his banner InSermann aud Balaklava;
the Erenchman, jena aud Eylau; the
German, Versailles and Sedan. And
Christ has on the banner He carries as
cOnQuer0r the names OF ten thousand
batt.e6e.ds He won for you and for me.
he rides past all our homes Of bereave-
ment-by the door bell swatRed 10 sor-
row, by the wardrobe black with woe,
by the dismautled fortress Of our
strength. Come out and greet Him TO-
day, d, ye peop.e See the names Of all
the battle passes on His flag. Ye who
are poor read on this ensign the story
OF Christ's hard crusts and pillOwIess
head.

Mighty Co sO0the your troubles, mighty

flung from the windows, ana

Christ our Lord, takes those who once

them the arm of his strength. saying,

GREAT PoPUL1sT SCHEME.
They Want to Borrow Government
Cannon for the Purpose of Pro-
ducing Rain in Kansas.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-The popu-
list members from Kansas are getting
very much interested in some letters
they are receiving about their inactivity
in getting the public lands of Kansas
donated to the state by the government,
to be used for irrigating purposes. When
the matter came up in the house some
time ago, and when the fight to have
Kansas included in the omnibus bill Of
that sort was engaged i'll by only Curtis
and Broderick in behalf of Kansas, and
the other members from the state could
not be found around the capitol, appears
to have struck those in Kansas interest
ed in irrigation as just q little queer, and
they are making inquiry. It appears
from letters received by populists that it
is the prevailing opinion among their
constituents that they were expected to
be on hand when such an important
matter like that was up for considera-
tion, even if they should have been in
competent to bring about any favorable
result.
The matter, however, is taking shape
and may result in great good to the people
of the state. Since it is apparent that the
people Of the state do not approve Of the
inactivity of the populist members in ir-
rigation measures, it has been concluded
to launch into line of legislative bust
ness that will make amends. Tt is pro-
posed to get a number of canno on located
over the state in the various populist
districts and utilize them in the matter
of securing rainfall. 1t will be insisted,
: until after the election, that this will be
much cheaper than any other way that
rain can be secured. The suggestion
will be made that it will take money,
and lots of it, to construct and maintain
irrigating bitches, which will be far
more expensive than the plan of borrow
ing guns from the government.
The first step in this direction was
taken this morning by Representative
Baker and the people of the state will
be glad to read his joint resolution. It
is as follows: ''That the secretary OF
war be and is hereby authorized to lend
two twenty pound cannon to the board
of commissioners of Smith county, IN
the state of Kansas, for the period of five
years, to be used under the direction OF
said commissioners to produce concus-
sions in the atmosphere with the view Of
producing rainfall"
Identically the same resolution was in
troduced in the senate to-day by Sena-
tor PETER, and so it will be discovered
that this is great effort on the part d
the populists TO make rain all over the
state by means Of government cannon
It is understood that while this is tht
first Of the rainmaking resolutions to be
made as an offset to the lack of work OF
the irrigation government land PROPOSE
ton, it is by no means the last. Othe,
populst members from the state will
as soon as they are able to take thei
pen in hand and copy the resolution, in
troduce similar documents by way 0
trying to even up things il the matte

-"Populism is only RepubBcanism
run to Seed" says Governor Lewelling,
but his excellency could make no greater
blunder. ''By their fruits We shall know
them" What republican can recognize
any of the results of this pseudo-reform
as the offspring Of any of the principles
of his party? Populism has sown the
seed of diseord and discomfort. We have
reaped vandalism and Coxeyites. It has
sown the seed Of boodleism and the state
has reaped debauchery. 1t has sown
the seed of chance only to bring forth a
harvest of lotteries. Tt has sown to the
breeze of fatism. We are reaping in a
gale of depression. Everything brings
forth after its kind. It is none Of ours.

LINCOLN AND THE TARIFF.
Common Sense

Abraham Lincoln's first speech on the
tariff question was short and to the
point. He said he did not pretend to be
learned in political economy, but he
thought that he knew enough to know
that "when an American paid twenty
dollars for steel to an English manufac-
.turer, America had the steel and En-
gland had the twenty dollars. But when
he paid twenty dollars to an American
manufacturer, America had both the
steel and the twenty dollars" This was
the sum and substance of the tariff cues.

MEETING OF OPERATORS.
They Formulate a Scale of Prices Which
They are willing to Pay.

CLEVELAND, o., May 16.-The mine

At that meeting, which was presided
over oy Mr.. Johnson, Of Columbus, o.,
a report was called for by Mr.. Chapman,
Of Jackson county, o., from the mem
bers present at the Pennsylvania opera
tors meeting last night. Mr.. Robbins,
as the representative of that meeting,
announced that the Pennsylvania ope-
rators have agreed upon rate OF 65
cents for Pennsylvania and Sc cents for
the Hooking Valley district BE was
asked by Mr.. Chapman if that was the
action OF the entire Pennsylvania dele
CATION, or whether the ten PittSburg

ment. His reply TO that was: 1T was
the action Of last nights meeting, and
was, l think, the unanimous sentiment
Of that meeting"
Mr. Robbins then said he would like
10 know If that was satisfactory 10 the
Ohio operators. One of the prominent
Ohio operators, on behalf OF the mine
operators Of the State, replied that he

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.-The
return OF Representative Wilson TO the
city and his resumption Of COnEression-
al duties has already had a marked
effect on the friends Of tariff reform.
His influence has inspired them with
new confidence and disipated in large
degree the doubt and uncertainty which
have obscured the outlook since the
tariff bill has been 10 the Senate.
While the bill will remain for probably
another weary monthOUt OF the immedl-
ate control Of any one at the House end,
il is felt that Mr.. Wilson's presence
will have a brscing Influence among the
Democratic Senators who are devoted
like himself heart and soul TO the cause
and W ho stand ready to make almost
any personal sacrifice in order that the
pledges of the party may be redeemed.
Modest and unaSsumiBg In disposition
and manner though he is, Mr.. Wilson's
siRgleness Of purpose, sincerity and
moral courage make him q tower OF
strength 70 the party az this juncturs OF
affairs, and his resum ption OF his legis-
Istive duties will soon make itself man
ifest at both ends Of the Capitol, as far
at least as the outlook for the passage
OF the tariff bill is concerned.

THE AMAlGAMATED CONVENTION.
President Garland's Report Read to The
Delegates.

CLEvELEND, o., May 16.-The con-
ventiou OF the amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Workers was called
to order at 10 o'clock to-day, with Pres
ident Garland in the chair. After sdOpt-
ing resolutions OF sympathy for the
striking miners, which were adopted
with much enthusiasm, President Gar
land proceeded to lay before the con-
venton his report for the past year.
The report dealt with conditions OF the
Association as il at present stands,
answered inuumerable questions pro-
pounded by different branches Of the
organization, the condition Of affairs as
be found them throughout the district
and his recommendations for existing
evils.
TIE feature OF the report, which was
followed closely by the delegates, was
the statement that he found the labor
laws, as administered, had not been car
ried out ia the spirit OF the acts them-
selves. President Garland stated that
the matter had been put in competent
hands and would be brought to the at
tention of the lawmakers at Washing
ton with view TO bringing about the
change desired. After the President
had spoken for nearly two hours the
convention adjourned for dinner.
At the afternoon session the Scale
Committee made its report and the en-
tire afternoon was devoted in secret TO
a discussion OF that report. The con-
vention got no further than the
conditions of the scale, all Of
which, with one exception,
were agreed to. The ons con-
dition upon which an agreement was
not reached was passed over for want OF
time. The scale is not made public as
yet, neither are the conditions given
out, but it is said that the convention
has thus far been unanimous In indors-
ing the work Of the scale committee.
