=. In contemplating the poet-apostle we find
the spiritual origin of scripture. The Bible has
a history, just as any other literature. The ul-

OF mormon, which is supposed to have been

gold, with pair of infallible spectacles lying
on the golden lids.
Inc Bible was not printed and bound in the
skies. and given to the world.
Inc Bipie was once consciousness. The
poetry OF browning was once latent in the
poets genius. Revelation is progressive, and
Is stamped with the authors personality.

Fred G. Jones, q former employe OF
the Southern Pacific on the Winnemucca
division, has just arrived from Guate-
mala. He has been engaged in survey
ing in that country. II speaking of the
prospects Of war between Guatemala and
| Mexico Mr.. Jones says that Guatemala
is protected by natural Notifications and
the mountain roads are simply impassa-
BILE except for the mule trains used in
that part Of the country, and that it is
out Of the question for an invading army
Of any size to get through il met BY an
opposing force. A few hundred Guats-
maIans can defend their country against
thousands Of Mexicans as far as q land
attack is concerned. On the seaboard
there are three ports, all being similarly
situated aud difficult Of approach. They
are fairly well garrisoned, and q landing.
except at the mail or other docks, is
next to impossible, owing to the heavy
surf that constantly beats the coast.
War talk is running high, and the inhab-
i%tants, regardless Of age or sex, seem to
favor war with Mexico and are anxious
for il to begin.
Gold is quoted at q premium OF 1903
per cent and there is little to be found in
the country.
Mr.. Jones gave 203 Peruvian and Mex.
lean silver dollars for 500 in gold just
before be left there. Silver is the stani-
ard money in all transactions, it being
the recognized currency Of the country.
Mr.. Jones says it is one Of the coming
countries of the world, and while he
does not advise any n to 60 there to
seek employment a man with q small
cash capital can. in a short time, find
himself wealthy if he has any business
or speculative capacity.
The country has a heavy underground
and the forests are dense. The soil is
fertile and the principal products are cot.
fee and sugar cane, but most anything
can be cultivated. Crops are raised
without irrigation, rain being plentiful.
The growth of vegetation. etc, is rank
and very rapid and to illustrate ii he
tells Of a circumstance where he once
asked a section boss on the railroad why
such close attention was paid to the road
bed, and inquired if the moisture of the
country softened it. The section man,
who was a "son of Erin" replied:
mo, sor, but l hev to go over livery
fut Of the track 10 the mcrnin' to cut the
sprouts that spring up, or before night
the trees would be big enough to ditch
the train"
The climate on the coast is warm and
fogs are frequent, and a fever peculiar to
the country prevails. but twenty-five
miles inland the climate is mild, healthy
and in many respects similar to the coast
climate of California.
The city OF Guatemala has a popula-
ton of about 60. 1000 souls and is a live,
modern city. One of the most magnif-
cent cathedrals in the world is located
there, besides other elegant buildings.
The people are really a better class than
Mexicans, and Americans are cordially
welcomed and favored.
Mr.. Jones is very we'll satisfied that
Guatemala will be a great country in the
neal future, and will soon return to it,

edy upon the toiling millions-and all
agree that il is ''the biggest bunko game

and scoundrels who are deliberately play

laid bare. and when = long-sufering, out
ragged people will take to themselves short
cuts and quick methods Of reckoning with

A Southern gentleman who has been
prominent in the politics Of his section
for the last twenty years writes to a
Northern paper that the South is getting
tired of the methods Of carrying cleo.
tions that have SO long prevailed. II
does not appear in the letter whether the
moral sense Of the South has been quick.
ened or whether its people have become
convinced that ballot-box stufing does
not pay. The writer does say, however,
that the kind of frauds that were per.
petrated against the colored voters years
ago are now employed against white men
who do not follow the lead Of the Bour'
bon Democracy. 10 time it is hoped that
the people of all sections will awake to
the fact that in the long run election
frauds are a form Of crime that most
g~rievously injure a people. No decent
men want to live where such practices
prevail.
