The newspapers continue to call

silver. There is Jones, the great
economist, he is Republican, and
there is Stewart, the great advocate
Of the free coinage of silver, ne is q

YOU from voting the straight Repub-
lican ticket? Senator Stewart con-
cluded that he had had enough of

ing spicy letter to the editor of the
Post. 1t was also given to the As
sociated Press agent, but l doubt
very much if they will print it:

Thursday morning the presidents
veto of the seigniorage bill was sent
to the house says the Washington
correspondent of the Nonconformist.
1t renamed ia the speakers hands
nearly two hours before it was laid
before that body, and then it was
simply read and dropped. By Mon
t,ay morning it was generally under
stood that it would he vetoed, and
the timber jack silver Democrats be-
gan to make threats of the wonderful
things they would do, but as soon as
the veto was read they LAID right down
lust like the Democratic silver sena-
tors did last fall when King Grover
sent his ultimatum to them. Not a
Democratic congressman will leave
the party OF account of the veto, and
the hope entertained that such men
as Bland, Bryan and Hall, OF Mis-
souri,, would renounce allegiance 10
the Democratic party Is all in vain.
They will stick to it whether the gold
combination of banks and bond
holders continue to use the party to
rob and Cypress the people. Or
whether the Rothschilds and 1kel-
heimers cast it aside and take up the
Republican party. They, like the
rest of them, are Democrats, and will
stick to the party even if it wrecks
every home in the United States.
Bland has the presidential bee buz.
Ting in his bonnet and he thinks he
can get the Democratic nomination
for president. What if he does?
There is no more possibility of his
getting to the white house than OF

Every one knows that the 1ckel

CHRISTIAN ENDEl .VoR.
For the Social Conn .,,ttee

A very pleasant social was given by
a Portland society a shs ,rt time ago,
and perhaps some socj al committee
NAV receive help fro, d an account
Of it.
Ii Was real Christi IN Endeavor So
cial, designed as muc for profit as
for pleasure. Pcrso cal invitations
were sent to all the members of the
society and they we've urged to be
present as we'll as to bring their
friends, but the older members of the
church were excluded this time. This
society rejoices IN having an accom-
plished musician among its members,
who trains once a week thos" who
wish to come and spend an h.,ur IL
singing For several weeks this vol
untary chorus had been practicing
some stirring hymns, and the program
began by singing these, accompanied
by an orchestra, several of whose
members also belong to the society.
Two or three brief Christian Endeav-
or addresses were interspersed with
The hymns.
But the feature of the evening was
the Endeavor Circles. Mysterious
cards were given to each of the guests,
bearing one of the letters of the word
''endeayor," and a number. When It
was explained there proved to be
eight circles, each with eight men,
bers. TO them was propounded the
question, 'What can I do to he of the
best use to our Society" Every
member of every circle wrote his an
swer to the question, and the circle
voted which was the best answer
among its eight. The one which they
chose was read aloud by the "E' or
captain of the circle. The best an
swer proved 50 good and suggestive
that all were then read.
1t was not only pleasant exercise,
destroying stiffness and shyness, but
profitable as we'll, for many excellent
thoughtful answers were written, aud
there was decided variety also.
After parting hymn, followed by
simple refreshments of chocolate and
waters, a most successful Christian
social came to an end.-Oregon En-
deayorer.

TEN REASONS Why A JUNIOR SOCIETY
SHOULD BE IN EVERY CHURCH.
/. Christ commands it.
2. The church Of the future de-
mands it.
3. Children need religious training
1. 1t is easier for one to become a
Christian in youth than when older.
5. The Juniors help in the Church,
Sabbath School, in Missionary and
Temperance work.
6. Children should have place in
the family church circle.
Z. "As the twig is bent. the tree is
Inclined
s. Makes good Bible students of
our boys and girls.
9. Teaches them gentleness in home
life and at play.
10. The work done by the Juniors
stimulates their elders in the cause of
Christ.
"And a little child shall lead them, -
The Savior said, Suffer little chill.
dren to come unto me, and forbid
them not" When you have the op-
portunity for thus leading them to the
Savior, will you, can you, close the
door which the Junior Society opens
for them?
Our responsibility in this matter is
4 great and serious one.
God will call us to account for our
duty done IN this direction. "Wha,
shall the answer be?" Try the soci
ETY. in your church; you will find it a
source Of JOY and inspiration.-Mrs
