THE PREACHERS As CITIZENS
Urged TO Take More Interest in Poll
fIcs- l.naIsnaasl To- Alison.


The Seattle ministers meeting al Y. NJ.
c. a. hall yesterday morning heard and
discussed a paper by Rev. Il. II. Powell en-
titled 1.-THE Christian Minister as a Ciu-
zen" The general tenor of the paper was
n plea for more practical and less thcoreti
cal labor on the part Of the ministers, and
he advised an requirement of the princi-
pies OF political economy. not 10 be SEN
sationally used for the requirement Of per-
sonal power. but In order TO know the
wrong and shun IT, and know the right and
cling 10 a." He did not regard the minis
ter as a political leader or demigod. but as
n man and citizen. who is pastor not on
~ 10 his own church. but also 70 the public
and whose duty To the government Is a
part OF his duty 10 his God. lie spoke OF
the important effect on popular character.
OF the exemplIdcation OF the Christian re-
ugfon I'm the lie Of "A Christian minister.
and the disposition Of so many 20 avoid
the descent into political mud" The
primaries and caucuses should be attended
bv the ministers themselves, and should
not be left entirely TO the control OF pollu-
cal rinCsters, who spread corruption.

A Dishonest Dollar.

The experience of the people of the
United States during the past twenty
one years-and more especially during
the past two years-shows that the
single gold standard provides the most
dishonest dollar and the unsoundest
currency that was ever invented. AS
compared with labor, with property of
all kinds, and with commodities, the
value of the dollar for which they are
eXchangeable has been constantly in
creasing IN value. Measured by the
products of labor-and this is the only
just and adequate measure-the debts
of every individual, every corporation,
every municipality and of every state
government have doubled during the
past few years The only method that
the people have Of paying their debts
is through the results of labor. The
farmer pays his debts with his cotton,
his wheat and the other products of
the farm. That is the only way that
debt-paying can go on. When the unit
and standard of value is growing dearer
the debt-paying value of the products
of human labor is constantly growing
smaller and smaller. Consti-

Rsmarkable Dry-Land Fish.

The periopthalmus, one of the most
remarkable of the several species of
dry-land fish catalogued by the natural
lists, is native of Mauritius. He is
only or 5 inches long, but has a big
head, very prominent eyes and side fms
which bear strong resemblance to
legs. They have the curious habit of
leaving the water in the evening and
spending the entire night hunting the
nocturnal insects which inhabit the
muddy flats near tide water. A similar
species OF New Zealand are called
running fishes" by the natives.
