The Indications Are Now That 1t VIII
Be Held In the Territory.
ARDMoRE, Ind. Ter, Oct. 5.-From
present indications it now looks as if
the big Corbett and Fitzsimmons fight
is coming to Ardmore. The Chicka-
saw Indians want them, the Santa Fe
railroad company wants to bring
them, and will run trains from the
Dallas amphitheater without cost, and
Dan Stuart is keeping the wires
hot to know the conditions under
which it can be pulled off at
Ardmore. The hotels of Dallas, Fort
Worth and Gainesville are equally ac-
cessible for visitors to Ardmore, and
Ardmore can accommodate 1000 guests
for any length of time, and can feed
all who may come.

THE TRAP SET.
And the Voters led Like Sheep to the
Slaughter.


The Washington free silver confer
ence has been held and the trap is now
set to lead the free silver voters into
the goldbug camp. 1t is all to be done
under the plea of harmony in the party
We warn the democratic voters that
this is the plan to be pursued. 1t is
now being carried out by the men who
want Office in the democratic party.
The salaries is the pay they expect in
return for their services. They are
endeavoring to make the people be-
lieve that they can secure the adop-
ton of free silver plank in the plat
form, and the nomination of free sill
yer man as candidate for president at
the next national convention. Many
democratic voters believe that already.
If they could do this it might be con-
sistent fer democrats to remain with
tLeir own party. But can they do it?
The chances are all against them.
When the question came up in the
last congress a majority of democratic
congressman and senators voted
against free silver.
The democratic national convention
of 1892 refused to permit the word
"free" go into the platform
The east is solid against it, and every
delegate from that section will vote in
opposition to a free silver plank, or
candidate. The democracy of Ken
lucky, Ohio, Iowa and Nebraska have
already declared against free silver
and will vote that way in the national
convention.
Other southern and western states
will follow and the free silver forces
will go down in the national conven-
tion.
Then, what?
The leaders who want the offices will
curl upon the floor and submit to the
dictation of the goldbugs.
They will expect the masses to follow
their example, and will plead harmony
in the party as an excuse for their cow
ardly surrender.
The convention will nominate a
gold bug. The Republicans will NOM
mate gold bug. The free silver men
in both old parties will vote for him
and the cause Of free silver will be put
off for another four years, when some
thing like the same plan will be again
adopted, of dividing the free silver
vote, and thus defeating the cause of
the people. There are perhaps in the
Democratic party three million voters
who favor the free coinage of silver,
but they can't control its action and so
far that party has done as much if not
more against the cause of free silver
than the Republican party.
There are perhaps two million free
silver voters in the Republican party,
but they cant control it, and their
votes neutralize two million of the free
silver Democratic votes. There are
two million free silver votes in the
Populist party. One million Of these
are neutralized by the one million free
silver votes left in the Democratic
party, and really out of some twelve
million voters, of which seven million
are for free silver, not more than mil
lion can be utilized.
Now why can't these forces be
brought together?
Simply because the people are dis
posed to listen to few men who want
office, and see that to stick 10 the party
is the only way to get II.

The stock is small and there is only

you do not get perfect fit. 1t often

 Pondering on these things, as well as upon the expectation of having to ac- count, in the judgment, for every idle word, Christian will surely be ''slow to speak.
 Nor does this necessitate a cowardly concealment of actual wrongs, the promulgation of which would be the first step to their abatement or oorrec-' tion.

CONCERNING LIFE.
1t Is Character Builder, Not For 1T

1t Is Character Builder, Not For Time
 Hut For Eternity.
 All life develops from within out wardly. The tree, the plant, the anil nal and man. The germ determines the kind-the character. But educa- tion, training, discipline, in both hu- man and animal existence, have large influence in the growth and drift of life. Cultivation does for tree and plant what education does for man. The animal, intellectual ard spiritual life are dependent in no small degree on what is exterior, and yet entering into, molding, oft controlling, them.
 The quality and force of the life are directly and permanently conditioned by the early persistent habits and as- aociations of the years that are torma- tive, before maturity seals the processes that go to shape the character.
 Life is the tireless, eeaseless toiler. 1t is builder of fabric that outlasts and conquers time. The consummate product of mans life Is character. This alone remains of all life's work It goes, but alone, from the present to the eternal. surviving the wreck of all else in the world. Then life'ss one grand aim is misunderstanding. This IS the survival of the Attest" in very truth. All reputed, extraneous values oi the world, save this, often seeming iy the least, go awreck. This, for all reasons the Attest for both worlds, survives; for it robes in immortality. ahls Is the grand outcome of evolution, the development and perfection of eharactef,x What then are processes that go to the building of oharacterp
 The true use of our senses, what we see, hear, smell. taste and touch, have their influence in this prime structure. Then also what we think, speak, be- hevei what we do, and as we'll our com partnerships. associations and choices; our business, callings, employments; and yet our tastes, opinions, biases, preJudices and principles.
 Character is in our getting, and also of our giving; essentially our living. Hence life Is a training school; an educa- tional process to educate. develop what IS our capital, our gifts. our latent forces, our capacities. It Is the sphere or opportunity; the field for tho fund ing and tests of experience.

 The foot prints of the past are les sons, not pathways. We can not re- cover our losses, nor return to make new choice of direction. Only for ward may, and must we go. Backward indeed we may look for materials of thought, for beacons that suggest pause or change of direction. But the pointing of life's index is beyond and upward, if gain of the true riches be our quest
 Life is a great gift from the great Giver Why, and for what given? These are potential questions bearing on any real endowment. Why2 Let this query have time and thought for, like the skillful surgeons instrument, 1t probes for the essential truth. And it will find 1t, if patience and fidelity have just control.
 And then will follow the other in- quiry as 8 natural sequence; and the honest answer to both these silent questions should bring inspiration to hopeful activity in the use of the capi tai and assured wisdom to well con duct the great business of life. To be thoughtless, is to be useless. To be indifferent, Is tobe powerless for good, even though helpful to evil No amount of exertion is required to throw ones life away. It will glide to listless insanity with neglect at the wheel
 We must work if we would stand to win. Strange that fact so obvious in all history, is so often practically over. looked Evidence may be patent as are leaves on the trees, but then, only to eyes that see. No work in life for God or men, that is real aud true of purpose, ever fails to win.

THE DIVINE STANDARD.

Character, Not Bulk of Service, We Will
 Find, VIII Determine Our True Rank. :.
 Rank in the kingdom of Heaven is based upon character, and not upon the bulk of the service performed. So that man might come to God and say, "See all that I have done and all that l have given up for Thee," and yet find that, measured by Gods stand. ard, he had done almost nothing. No, you can not measure up Christian serv- ice in any such way as that Those who are first here may be last there when the great account is made up., Perhaps there is some Christian here in this congregation looking me right in the face, of whom everybody Is say ing: "Oh, what worker he isl How much he is giving up, and how much he is doing for Christp And yet there may be in his conduct that subtle spirit of self-consciousness and selfshness which will spoil it all, and he may find himself way back among the last in Heaven. And others who have perhaps very little to show in the, way of outward bulk of work done, SO little that they will look at it in sorrow and say "Oh, have done nothing for Jesus" and yet there may be such hu- mility and disinterestedness pervading it all that in the eye of God that little will be of great price.

GOD IS LOVE"
A yoeman once lso runs the sOottish talel

A yoeman once (so runs the Scottish tale) On high, his spacious barn above, Set up golden weathervane, which bore The bright Inscription, "God Is Love" Not long had this been swinging in its place When his good neighbor cross the way, On meeting him beside the garden wall, Began at once to chide and say: ''Now, Brother Jones, 1t seemeth strange tO
 me
 That y0& shouldst thus our God decry. Declare that His great love is turned and
 changed
 By every wind that bloweth by" "Ah, John, thou dost me wrong" he then re-
 piled.
 Thou dost my meaning quite mistake. Whatever way the wind may blow, I say, Still God Is Love; he Ii ne'er forsake."
