constrained thereto by a stern sense
of duty in full view of all the circum-
stances"
Had he not foreshadowed this to-be

shown out more clearly than it does.
though it is even row quite discern
ible- Before the election Major HANDY
"foreshadowed" that the Mckinley
vote in Utah would be a surprise be-
cause of the largeness of it. To the
ehagrin and painful surprise of the
wise old major, that vote did not ma
terialize anything at all like the fore
shadowing.
What pleasant and goodly thing it
is TO have Major Handy's assurance
that if an extra session of congress
is called President-elect Mckinley will
be constrained thereto by stern
sense of duty in full view of all the
circumstances" OF course this full
view will have it's proper foreshadow-
ing.
Now, it would be very much better
III TIRE NIlolS country IL the pIeSluent-
elect could feel more restrained about
an extra session of congress and less
constrained. Congress in extra session
will feel terribly constrained to do
many unreasonable and foolish things,
and being in extra session it will feel
that it should not permit itself to be
restrained.
1t is much to be regretted that Ma
jor Handy has foreshadOwed an extra
session of congress. for what he fore
shadows usually happens if a kind
providence does not intervene to pre-
vent it. Major Handy's foreshadow of
an extra session of congress is Just
now the shadow across the dial. Could
he be induced to withdraw his fore
shadow?

At Anderson, Ind, rather strange
thing happened one day last week. The
people around there have been using
natural gas. The other morning when
some of them got up TO start fires and
turned on the gas instead of gas oil
came through the pipes; everywhere oil
was coming through the pipes. Further
investigation showed that one of the
big gas wells which had been unused
on the line had suddenly turned into
an oil gusher. The gas wells are in
territory where there have been very
few if any indications of oil in the past.
This shows that it is not at all i'm
probable that gas lands and oil lands
have an intimate relation to each
other.

LA GUILBERT AND Mr.. MOODY.

Could people see themselves as others
see them they would very soon lose all
their conceit. and this would be bad
for mankind. Tor conceit it is that
makes the worlds rough roads some
what smooth. Conceit gives people an
appreciation OF themselves that others
never have of them. The complement
to it is depreciation of others.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Denver Republican: Senator Wolcott
looks upon his resolution in regard to in
ternational bimetallism as but preparing
the way for Major Mckinley when he
enters upon the discharge of his duties as
president. As the, nominee of the St
Louis convention, Mr.. Mckinley is pledged
to endeavor to secure an international
agreement TO remonetize silver. The con-
sideration of that subject during the
present session is. therefore, with view
20 helping him carry out the pledge of the
st. Louis platform, Every man who sin
cerely believes in bimetallism hopes that
the attempt to secure an international
agreement will succeed. 1t makes no
difference how we get bimetallism, pro-
vided it comes soon.

Major Mckinley is said to have his
