THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

At each annual gathering of
Christian Endeavor Societies in
the United STATES, the wonderful
and ever increasing power of this
arm of the church is impressed
anew upon the world of religious
workers Far from becoming I'm
wieldy and broken by the fac
tional bias of sectarianism, the
numerical increase has been at
tended with an increasing unity of
spirit that has joined the youthful
religious forces of the world in a
solid phalanx laboring in behalf OF
virtue and morality. The presi-
dents report made at the recent
convention in Boston showed that
in the fourteen years of its exist
ance this organization has grown
from one society to 10000, and
from a membership of fifty-six to
100000. While various Sec
tartan dignitaries have stopped by
the wayside to discuss and quarrel

courage to attempt to prove that

huenced the editorial utterances of

THE ENABLING ACT.

AS was remarked by Representa-
tive Robertson, the House Commit
tee on Commerce in pointing out
the defects in the Gable Enabling
Act and recommending a new bill
should at least offer something
tangible in the shape of a new bill
rather than rest satisfied in finding
fault with the present draft. 1t is
next to impossible at this stage in
cable matters to draw a complete
bill of particulars as to where it
shall land, how it shall be con-
structed and how much it shall
cost. The present necessity is to
place the Government in position
to treat with nations or corpora
tions. 1t is not to be supposed that
in case the Legislature is not in
session, the Executive and Council
of State will enter into an unbusi-
ness like proceeding that will sad
die this country with a burden
which it is not well able to carry.
This country cannot lay the cable
nor can it pay more than its pro-
portional share of the cost, even
the enthusiasts to which Mr.. Ry-
croft referred are not blind to these
facts, but there should be no stumb-
ling blocks laid in the way of bring
ing the scattering cable legislation
of the various countries to a head,
and if Hawaii can be the first in
the systematized movement, the
country ought to be prompt in tax
ing advantage of the opportunity.

over the ''new church" and re-
vision of creeds and dogmas, the
Christian Endeavor Society has
gone forward with its work IN
every portion Of the civilized
world steadily gaining new re-
cruits to the church that knows
no principle to guide relig-
ious life higher or better
than the broad principles laid down
in the life Of Christ-the only
church that ought ever have ex-
istence.
The motto of the society, "One
is your master, even Christ, and all
We are BRETHREN" forms a platform
or creed on which every shade OF
personal eccentricities in religious
belief may meet in perfect har-
mony. There are no forms and
ceremonies the society strives to
make the world better, and there
fore happier" leaving to the indi-
vidual the right of interpreting the
specific Biblical teachings accord
ing to the dictates Of his own con-
science. The Christian Endeavor
is liberal, but it is not the liberality
that courts license. Now, the arm
of the church, it is not unreason-
oble to look upon the society as
the arm that may, in the course of
years, revolutionize the church and
wipe out sectarian lines in the
personnel of the great universal
church of the future.

AFTER numerous "kicks" for
which by-the-way the company
has become somewhat noted, the
Sharpshooters now find themselves
just where they started from as re-
CARDS their position in the National
Guard, thereby proving in the
present instance as in the past,
that no matter to what extent they
exercise their kicking propensities,
they always manage to land on
their feet. A free expression of
opinion, followed by a little COM
mon sense reasoning always has a
good effect as will no doubt be ap-
preciated when the matter now
under consideration becomes a
thing of the past.

mittee who called the State
Democratic convention at
Springfield in the early
part of June for the
purpose of defining the
position of the Illinois Demo-
Gratis on the silver question,
saw this convention prove a
dismal failure, dismal even
more that was predicted be-
fore the convention convened.
Instead of its being a repre-
sentative gathering ofthe Dem
ocrats of Illinois, it proved to
be a body of professional poll
ticians and their familiar and
necessary hangers on. Gov
ernor Altgeld (the anarchist
Governor) and ex-Congress-
man Bryon were among the
prominent speakers.
The most notable feature of
the convention was the extreme
bitterness of the attacks on
Grover Cleveland and his
coterie of followers for their
stand on the silver question and
the enthusiasm of the conven-
ton itself in applauding those
attacks.
The people are Thoroughly
aroused and determined to
have a bona fde bimetalism.
They are looking to the Re-
publican party for the states
manship that shall rise to the
height of the requirements.
They do not intend to be
cajoled by empty promises
honeyed over with fine words.
GA burned child fears the fire."
The next candidate for pre-
sidential honors will ne
cessarily have to come
out flat footed on on
this much mooted question,
and when he has voiced his
sentiments it will remain with
the people to decide which
of the candidates they wish to
represent them, and which one
of the two metals, or both, shall
be the basis of commodity.
In the midst of all the talk and
arguments for or against bimet-
alism there is one metal being
used very extensively that very
little is known about outside of
manufacturers.
The Maunesmann Steel
Tubing is comparatively new
arrival on the market. BEING
extremely hard, but lat the
same time a light and flexible
steel, the various manufac-
turers of first class, high grade
bicycles are using it exclusive
ly in the construction Of the
frames, claiming it far superior
in durability to any metal pre-
viously used.
Each frame is put together
with jig which mechanically
trues it, and every frame is
therefore perfectly accurate.
The frame of the Monarch"
is built for appearance and
speed. It's lines are graceful
and beautiful; they are also
and comfortable.
The Monarch frame is the
ideal frame and goes long
way towards making the Mon
ARCH WHEEL the ideal bicycle. |
