OPINIONS OF EDITORS.

The business men and manufacturers OF the
country, by reason of the downing OF Demo-
crazy and Popuism at the late elecuons, nave
confidence in starting up their enterprises that
reasonable protection will be given TO Amerl-
can industry, and that the products OF Euro-
rean pauper labor and Asiatic coolies Will not
be permitted to have free access to this coun-
try without payment of duty at least equal to
taxes paid by home producers.-Yreka Journal.
There is at times a suggestion of ironicai
humor in fate, or whatever you might choose
to call the destiny that shapes our ends. Fol-
lowing the news of distressing drought in Ne
braska comes dispatch announcing rains and
floods resulting in the drowning of four men.
1t is presumed that they had been praying Tor
rain, and in their dire extremity had overdone
it.-Garfeld (Wash.) Enterprise.
Those persons who expect prompt agreement
of Great Britain to an international monetary
conference as result of the accession of the
Conservatives to power should wait and see
whether this party, like our own Democratic
party, does not understand q platform as
something to get in on; not to ride on
Portland Oregonian.
Distance lends enchantment to the view of
reservation lands. The Tillamook Headlight
says the people of that county made no effort
to take up the Siletz territory. They knew it
too WELL 1t is only to those far away that these
reservations take on the semblance of q
promised land.-Portland Oregonian.
The Democratic doctrine of f'tarif for reve-
nue. only has certainly had queer exemplif'
cation under the present administration, reve-
nue. being about the only thing, except pros
perity, which the new tariff has failed to
produce.-San Diego Union.
The young man whose graduating essay as.
serted that "beyond the Alps lies our Italy"
will go forth from school only to find that the
business world consists of 80 per cent Alps
and per cent Italy.-Tekoa (Wash.) Globe.
He that hath truth on his side is a fool, as
well as a coward, ii he is afraid to own it be-
cause OF the currency or multitude of other
mems opinions.-Oakland Times.
We take our readers into our confidence SO
far as to state that what is needed more than
the new woman is the new man.-Po1tland

ToPrc-The dnty of happiness John xv, II
Ps xxxvii, Ill.
Happiness is desired by all. 1t is uni
versa " sought. The goal Of almost ev-
erv project III life is happiness in some
form or another We seek wealth, posi-
ton, fame and nonor most Of all that we
may find happiness IN them.
There are different kinds of happiness.
The world has one kind Of happiness.
Sinful pleasures do, for time at least,
bring to men certain kind OF happl-
ness. But the joy of the sinner Is short
lived II works death, and death ends
all his ity, if it has not been ended even
before death. but the Christians joy
really only begins at death. His JOY IS
the JOY Of Christ. and Christ Gyeth fer
ever. Some one has compared the sim
ner's jey to lightning-a flash and 1t Is
gone-and the JOY Of the saint to light
=" lasting, healthful, healing and
b 1titul
But the Christians JOY. while IT
does not end IN this life, is to begin
here. Christ here imparts some Of His
joy 70 Us He spoke comforting words to
His disciples that His JOY might be with
them, and their joy be fulfilled, There
may be many things about Us in life
that may tend to dampen cur joy and
happiness, but still we are TO rejoice. 1t
is our duty to do 50.
Happiness is a duty, because if we are
not joyful IN the Lord we misrepresent
Christ and Christianity. Christ has
promised Us happiness and joy. and If
we are not joyful we say to the world
that He has not fulfilled His promise.
There is a duty resting upon rs, there
fore, to rejoice in the Lord. "
Happiness is a duty. because il Is
commanded. Delight thysef also in
the Lord, and he shall give thee the de
sires Of thine heart, - says the psalmist-
Rejoice in the Lord, " says the apostle,
land again, say, rejoice. God COM
mands Us to be happy in Him. We are
in duty bound to obey the commands Of
God 1t should be a matter Of congratu-
lation to Us that God not only desires
Us to be happy, but actually commands
it We might think that in this world
of sin and sorrow il was not for the chill
dren Of Gad to be happy. This was once
the principle upon which many Chris
tians lived But it is a false principle.
God wants Us to be happy even here.
He commands Us TO be Let rs as Chris
tians cultivate man. and the spirit Of
cheerfulness. Of JOY, that we may cor
rectly represent Christ, and that We may
obey God : commands
