Moody has learned how to master all his
resources; every detail is loaded with the
vast total OF bis power, and in his greatest
moments he Is an orator of consummate
skill and OF electric power.
All these forces. and others that might
be named, combining, have nightly stirred
this city. On the last evening of the mis-
sion not less than four thousand Christian as
rose to testify that they had been revived
and had entered into larger and richer
experiences An unnumle-ed multitude OF
careless men and women have been
awakened. and many have confessed
Christ. Most Of the churches are going on
with special services. The widest and
heartiest invitation has been and will be
given TO all to come In and hear the
Gospel And the capital Of the nation, in
all the diversified elements OF its popula-
ton. has received a decided impulse toward
vital personal religion. For all which we
give hearty praise to God.

Some Curious Plants.

One of the ctriosities at the propasa tins
gardens is plant of the ar-owroot family,
each leaf Of which has picture of a grow
ing branch on 1t with leaves, painted by
nature to perfection. Young palms are grown
from seed in one of the green houses. In
early youth they look remarkably like
ordinary grass. Mr.. Brown, just for fun,
keeps a few sensitive plants. 1t is wonder
fCl to them shrink and fold their leaves
If one does but touch the pot obtaining
them. Nobody has ever been able to find
out why they do this, unless it be supposed
that this kind of vegetable actually pos
sesses some sort of nervous system.

A Dark Year.

The close of the year 1898 finds
the people of the United States in
the midst of an anxiety that reaches
into almost every household in the
land. The holiday season which
they have been passing through has
brought them less joy than has ever
before been known in any period of
the country's history since the dark
days of the war. Even the financial
and commercial calamities of 1873
did not bring them so much loss and
distress as now oppress the country.
There has, in fact, never been an
epoch ofindustrial and financial ruin
when the people of the United States
have suffered an absolute loss as
great as has been inflicted upon them
in the trouble of 1898, and the year
comes to close with no immediate
prospects Of betterment of their
condition.
It is this hard fact which will
make the usual salutation Of a Hap
py New Year seem like q mockery
and satire. There is grim and
dismal humor in the greetings of
the season when we look out on the
spectacle of ideal workshops, desert
ed stores, multitudes of idlers on the
streets and long winter before them
The duty of the hour as we ap-
proach the threshold of 1894 is to
soften as much rs we can the hard
ships and miseries which have fallen
to the lot of the most unfortunate
There is nothing but fiuitlessness in
repining or in looking back with re-
grets upon the good cheer and prose
perity that prevailed throughout the
land twelyemonth ago. That the
winter of 1894 will bring upon nils
lions of our countrymen such wretch.
edness as has not come within the
experience of this generation is now
only too certain but it is equally
certain, also, that it will call forth
much of the best qualities of human
nature in the ministering hands of
those who will be able to perform
the Offices OF help and charity.
The year 1893 will be memorable
for the disorganization of the great
fabric and machinery of finance and
trade, and we can now only hope
that 1894 will bring about restora>
tion of its broken parts. This is the
thought which is now uppermost in
the minds of men. The violation of
the euexorable laws of trade, the
recurrence of the period of panic
which comes once or twice in every
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1894-01-05
A Political Precept to be COnsid-
cred.

General weakening in the Demo
cratic faith seems to be as prevalent
throughout our land to-day, rs is the
grip. There is question in the
minds of many of our Democratic
friends which seems to be rather q
hard one to determine. The situa~
tion places them, thoroughly disgust
ed with Cleveland and his policy,
but being of too stern character to
flop to the Republican ranks, know
not what course to persue. Well,
what is the matter with the Repub-
lican party ? 1t has simply been
the opposing element to that system
of government which they are will
ing to withdraw from. Why not
join the just when they triumph !?
The situation is, that this generation
had had no experience with low
tariff and it seems to be a fact that
the experience of one generation
does not go tar towards teaching
another. But we notice now that
even those who have been consistent
advocates of free trade are now de-
nouncing Cleveland and hoping that
public work be pushed in order that
men may be given employment. The
highest aim of government should be
if possible to regulate affairs so as to
keep its people employed. 1t pre-
serves mems self respect and con-
duces to higher order Of citizenship.
The people have had presented
sharp comparison between the two
systems. They have been brought
within year from charge of the
highest prosperity to what we have
now presented to us on all sides, not
by the operation OF different sys-
TEN, but by the anticipation of it.
We can readily see how a man can
advocate free trade without any i'm
parchment of his intelligence or mo-
tives, but we cannot see how men of
Intelligence can teach that we may
pass from such policy as is en-
bodied in the Mckinley law to such
one as was foreshadowed in the
Chicago platform without the great
est disaster and hardship. To those
who protest in entering the G. o. P.
let us state that no Better rank, the
church accepted, can he joined, but
the Republican party which stands
committed to no particular schedule
or law, but it does stand committed
to the American industrial system
and the principal of protection.
