can't do it. The vile thing is too
nasty for me to handle. Don't you
see the dirty thing has swallowed
itself?-all but little of the tail,
which dropped off somewhere, and
the sergeantat-arms is now scour-
ing the woods for that.
A government of force, by force,
can only exist as long as it succeeds
in keeping up a murderous STRIFE
among the people, knowing that
house divided against itself must
destroy itself, and for the plumber
to he had during the process OF de-
struction. Governments are organ
lied, and for no other purpose, as
history plainly proves. 1t is for
tunate thing for humanity that ev-
erything that exists must make
history, and very unfortunate
thing for humanity that a majority
of them never pay any attention to
history when made. Ask any man
Won meet if he is in favor OF self
government, and he will say yes
but watch he votes, and you Will
see he is in favor of the other fellow
doing the governing.
Every man is capable of sell
government, for every law that
governs us is as clear, as strong
and as true as the law Of mathemat-
les.
All law is self-entorcing. Every
man easily learns the law governing
the measure of the product lie
wishes to exchange, but the law
governing the measure of exchange
he permits a lot of usurping thieves
to control. Every man is an usurp
er that arrogates to himself the
right to govern others.
Men are born Thieves are made.
Men make institutions, and institu-
tons make thieves, and, as the
United States has more institutions
than any other country, when we
have enough thieves, we have only
to stop making institutions, and if
we should ever be 50 foolish as to
want to get rid of our thieves, we
have only to get rid Of the institu-
tions that breed them.
The plain, simple law of cause
and effect is worth studying. Try
it some moonshiny night; it will
pay better than going coon-huntlng.
The Peoples party is doing some
profitable thinking, and if we Will
only think that we can't make an
institution that will endure forever
a stumbling-block in the path OF
human progress, we deserve sue
cess.
We have perfect right to gov
ern ourselves, but no right to govern
coming generations, or to forge a

THE LAND OF BURMA.
Rev. j ohm e. Cummings Talks Entertain
inely of that Ancient Country.

At the Free Street Baptist church last
evening, Rev John E. Cummings, formerly
IF Saco, now missionary in Burma, gave
an entertaining address concerning that
land. There are only two months of winter
in that land, December and January.
when the thermometer goes as low as % de-
erees. In summer for six weeks the mercury
is at JOG degrees, or 107 in the houses. During
that time there is no ice and no rain. 1t is
such elm ate that wears one out.
The line of Burma's tyranical kings has
been broken and the whole country since
1885 has been under British domination.
Burma has never been over populated like
India. and it is a rich country. This land
God has given to the Baptists. There are
fragments of numerous races sthere. Bud
dbism is the religion, ,,and it leads to the
most abieot idolatry. MISREPRESENTATION
of esoteric Buddhism made at the Worlds
Fair were misleading. That religion can be
studied only on its native soil. The priests
are the best fed. best clad, most useless men
in Burma today. They used to be the
teachers of the people; but their influence
is waning and the youth are now sent to
Baptist schools.
A school been has established at Henzada
at the head of the Lena delta.
This school was prospering when Mrs.
Cummings, upon whom much of its cares
devolved. died OF the fever, and was buried
in the far land. But Mr.. Cummings did lot
give up the enterprise. and last February
fine school building was dedicated. At that
dedication was an aged native. who had
been converted forty years before. In his
youth he had been like Paul and had perse-
cuted Judson; but the heroic sufferings OF
the latter made deep impression upon
him, and thirty years later in 1854 was con-
verted.
In conclusion. Mr.. Cummings said that
Japan was the fail in the hand of God for
opening China to Christianity.

There is one tramp who is wondering
now what induced him to try to force
anybody to give him money. He is
big, powerful man, but he tried the
"You must give" instead of the wont
you given trick, and has repented of it.
Elisha S. Bibber of this city is en-
ployed at the Plum street bottling es-
tabIishment of, and is commonly on
duty the first one in the morning. Sat-
urday morning he was on his way to the
shop at about 4 O'Clock, when few peo-
pie were, out. 'As it happened the previ-
GUS night he took home bottle of G in
ger beer, and the empty bottle Lwas in
his pocket to be taken back to the shop.
Nh. Bibber was walking quietly along
when big, powerful fellow walked up
to him and said, Say,I want you to give
me some money, and be spry about it.
See? "Mr. Biober stopped, and the
tramp noticed the chain attached to his
watch, very valuable one, and made a
grab at it. The chain gave way, but
the watch remained in his pocket. The
chain was attached to his vest rather
get that. s@1
He did get something however. He
got the empty bottle over the head and
went down like log, and before he
could get it settled in his mind what
had happened to him, Mr.. Bibber got in
two more blows, and then was forced to
allow the scamp to escape. He evidently
didn't enjoy that style of fighting. Mr..
Bibber certainly. showed good pluck, and
probably discouraged one tramp from
molesting anybody else.

THE TEACHERS CONVENTION.
omcers Elected for the Year 1ss4-e5.

Saturday morning President Andrews
called the convention to order soon after
nine O'Clock. There was large attend
ance.
The first exercise of the morning was a
paper by Superintendent Lord on 1.-THE
Scolding Teacher. He spoke decidedly
against the practice which some teachers
have of scolding in the school room.
Miss Ada L. Davis of the Park street
school, gave an exhbitionsof the work of
her class in reading.
Superintendent Phillips of Bath, read a

Then followed an interesting exhibition

pnations by Principal Crosby of the Deering

The Twentieth Anniversary Celebrated al
State Street Church.

The Women's Christian Association Oh
Portland, celebrated it's 25th anniversary at
State street church last evening. 1here
was a large attendance. The pulpit was
occupied by Rev. DR.. Jenkins. the pastor,
Rev. Dr. Asa Dalton, and Rev. Mr.. wilson,
the missionary of the ". C. A. Rev. MI.
Wright was expected. but was unable to be
present.
After the usual exercises, DR.. Dalton, IN
thu absence Mr.. Wright, read the annual
report of the association. From it we learn
that the society waso rganized in 59,to form
an organization for young women similar
to that of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. About $50 to 200 well known ladies'
were interested in the movement. Many of
these have been removed by death and
others have been drawn into other societies
and all of their places have not been filed.
Rev. Mr.. Wilson isNthe city missionary. The
association was incorporated in 1875 and
purchased or 5000 the house on Spring
street intended as home for young women
coming TO Portland who had no friends
here. 1t has been conducted on tho model
of private family. and the conduct OF the
establishment was never more satisfactor
than now. There is not a dollar of debt.
Testimonials of good character are required
from those who become inmates. An honor
ary membership fee of $780, goes towards
the home fund. Glasses for instruction
were tablishet., but were not needed as
the young women found here many schools
which they were invited to join.
Rev. DR.. jenkins then made most
powerful and eloquent appeal. taking his
text from st. Luke ii, 53. 1t was plea for
the home. After speaking of the youthful
life of Christ, who passed the first. thirty
years at home he said. he then went into
the world. but not without reluctance. be-
cause he was fond of his home. If child
of ours is to be educated we do not think
that he can obtain all the education needed
at home, but we send him away to college
and with his departure goes much OF the
home influence. What is true of the son is
true of the daughter. With the broader
education the fathers business is not good
enough for the son ard hence we see the
hordes of homeless lads in cities. SO with
the gills. The factories of New England
create social revolution. And these girls
seek employment under abnormal circum-
stances. The tendencies of the times are
against the the home. An occasional con-
cert, or entertainment is we'll enough. but
now places of amusement crowd every town
and the same audiences night after night
give testimony to empty homes. The great
increase of club life. both for men and
women, adds to the lack of home feeling
and is evidence of neglected homes. If a
man has home there is wife there to be-
loved and children to be enjoyed ana hosli-
tality to be administered. When God puts
man at the head of a home he puts serious
work upon him. subordinate to nothing. A
pastor of one of the largest New. York
churche said his congregation was. virtua /
a daughter OF son of a neglected no me
brings disgrace TO their father and mother.
The.music was fine and Miss florence
Leach favored with violin obligato.

Young sinkinson's Injuries.

A representative of the PRESS called
upon Mr.. Sinkinson yesterday afternoon
to inquire how his son was, and the ex-
tent of his injuries Mr.Sinkinson said
that his sons condition was much i'm
proved, and he thought there was no
more danger from the kick in the head,
which had narrowly escaped the temple.
By keeping on hot lamentations during
Saturday night and through Sunday,
the swelling had been much reduced.
At one time his son was a little out of
his head, but only for brief period.
The worst injury was that to the should
er, andsDr. John F. Thompson. who at
tends him, could not tell about that I'M
til today. "He won't play any more
football" sententiously remarked Mr..

Others suffered in divers ways, but
