A Challenge to Adventists.

Whereas, the Seventh Day Adven-
fists have made many glaring mis-
statements at WaIdwick and other
places concerning the Sabbath,
therefore challenge them to meet me
in public discussion involving the
Sabbath question from a bible stand
point. If they will affirm the seventh
day Of the week to be now binding
on christian people, | will affirm
sunday to be the proper day for
christians to observe as day Of rest.
They may make all rules except the

Regulations For a Ship Of the Hansa.


When ship Of the Hansa had accom-

Ing left the port, tho captain (schiffAr)
gathered all the crew and passengers on
the deck and held tho following language
rs reported by contemporary:
AS we AFRO now mt tho mercy of God and
the waves, no said, leach one must be
equal TO each other. And rs We are sur
rounded by storms, high waves, pirates
and other dangers, we must keep q strict
order, that we may bring our voyage 70 a
good end. That is why we shall pronounce
the prayer for good wind and good sue
cess and, according to marine law, we
shall name the occupyers of tho judges
seats" (Schoffenstellen) Thercupon the
crew elected q vogt and four scabini, to
act rs their judges.
AT the end Of the voyage the vogt and
the scabini abdicated their functions and
addressed tho crew as follows: What has
happened on hoard ship VIC must pardon
unto each other and consider Us dead (todt
und abscin lassen). What we have judged
right was for tho sake Of justice This is
why we beg you ALL in the name of hon
est justice, to forget all the luminosity one
may nourish against another, and to swear
on bread and salt that he will not think OF
it i'll "a bad spirit. If any one, however
considers himself wronged, he must appeal

A CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN.

The suggestion that young men of Seat
tie to the number OF twenty or so should
combine and own a trading vessel is prob
ably a novel one here. 1t is not uncom-
mon In New England. and for hundreds
Of years probably 1t was the usual style
OF ownership in England and other coun-
tries. The action OF the limited liability"
law has gradually extended TO ship owning,
however, and now vessels are owned by
Joint stock companies under much the
same conditions as those of private cor
porations I'm the United States.
The necessity for such statutory regu-
lation as ordinary commercial partner
ships on large scale require does not.
however. exist in ship ownership, because
centuries OF experience have built up
system of admiralty law as comprehensive
as the common law and fully as clear and
arbitrary
In some of the older English ports the
ownership of vessel was frequently as
little as one-twentieth. and that interest
passed from the owner TO his heirs with
out question. Part owners in admiralty
are not necessarily but oiS
usually regarded as tenants in common.
Each has a distinct and separate interest
which he may sell without the consent
OF the other owners. The responsibilities
OF owners are well defined and as rule
masters are trustworthy. In few occu-
pations involving so much money and
where so much is necessarily left to the
discretion of the ships husband and 10
the captain is there so little dishonesty.
While there are risks in maritime traf-
fic as in all other businesses, IL is an attrac-
tive and fairly remunerative investment.
The profits on vessel whose charters are
judiciously arranged are very great, and
Il would be an excellent thing for Seat
tie as a port II her young men should
enter into this field for the occupation Of

they are against free silver with the DEM

On our foreign policy. TOO. the Demo-
cratic gun seems TO scatter good deal. in
spite Of what the distinguished New York
senator would make Us believe. Jingoism
TO a Democrat has from time immemorial
been what red flag is TO a bull And
yet, strange as IL may seem. the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor IN Ohio ex-
poets to get into Office by waving the
American flag and whooping her up with
sensational lingo speeches. President
Cleveland has steadfastly maintaided that
we should keep our hands off. but his ex-
postmaster general insists that the laws
OF humanity are higher than those OF
neutrality. and that we should take
stand In favor OF Cuban freedom. AS 70
just what this passive-aggressive-Jin
non-interference foreign policy is when
put In plain English and what the Demo-
cratic principles are which support it. the
people will look TO Senator Hill for an
answer.
There are, 10 be sure, certain principles
which ut one time were supposed TO be
fundamental with the Democratic party.
but In later years ''pernicious activity"
communism OF pelf' and party per-
fdy'' have caused these principles TO be
pretty generally repudiated in practice,
leaving the party headed in all directions.
