DECADENCE OF PASTORAL, LIFE
me Bishop then announced the next
speaker, Rev. Ernest c. Smith, OF Balti-
more, who said:
In what does modern life differ from
what mas preceded it? First, The rest
iessness of modern life. Men are striv-
ing to-day In competition as never be-
tore In the history of the world Think
or our marvellous inventions. There
are no foreigners to-day. No man lives
to himself.
another force is the migratory
movement. There is extravaganza, the

and striving after luxury.
How nave these forces affected mod
ern church work? You will see beside
modern church the parish house; the
power house Of the parish. 1t is the
sight Of the gymnasium. All OF those
developments of the modern church are
designed to keep up interest In her
work
How different is this from olden
lays, when the church-7the House of
Srayer-was the power house Of the
parish.
The modern pastor. too, has been af-
fected by these conditions. Instead of
he student, as of yore, he is a hustl.ng
business manager, fully as greatly en-
crossed with the temporal as with the
spiritual side of his church.

THE clergy is not as spiritual as thew
should be. A spiritual man Is the result

Too often they must be out in the parish

Until last week Il was almost ycar
since our last visit 70 ordway. Reports
Of the growth Of the town had reached M,
but the increased size Of the place was
surprising. Until last summer tho bua-

the old hotel and store room combined,

During the last year the business por-
ton Of the town has been built mp quite
solidly. Among the new buildings are
the following: The store rooms OF L. E.

Where would the benefits of free
coinage come in2 The silver mines
would be opened, giving employment to
labor now idle. This would help the en-
tire country by taking west those idle
laborers who are now causing an over
production Of labor, says an eastern ex-
change. Then the owners and produc-
ers OF silver bullion would take it to the
mints for coinage and would receive sill
YER dollars or silver certificates in ex-
change for it. What would they do with
this money! They could not eat it, nor
would it do them any good stored away.
1t would necessarily have to be invested
in business enterprises Of various kinds,
again giving idle men employment by
making capital seeking investment plen.
ty and easily obtained. Interest would
be lower by reason OF the greater amount
OF money in circulation and prices of ev-
erything would rise. The farmers would
find better market for their products
and better prices. Thus the benefits
would be distributed to all except the
money lenders.

The scarcity Of grass on the range
will necessitate sheepmen pasturing On
alfalfa fields this winter and feeding
them hay. Cattlemen will be forced to
adopt the same means Of caring for their
stock before the winter is very far adj

furnish pasture.-Las Animas Leader,

Populist County Convention.

Geo. Daring, Sr., presidcd over the
Populist county convention last Satur-
day at Rocky Ford, N. W. Terry being
secretary.
John A. Martin and p. @. Dunlap,
committee on resolutions, reported as
follows:
We, your committee ON resolutions re.
speotfully suggest that the Populists Of
Otero county stand pat.
Judge Parker offered the following
which was unanimously adopted:
Otero county having candidate for
state auditor, Mr.. j. B. Pearce, this con.
vention expresses it's hearty approval oi
his candidacy and bespeaks for him the
support Of tho county generally. Dur
ing hietwo years. service as chairman, OF
the party IN the county he has served
faithfully and honestly and labored hard
TO advance it's interesas. Should he be
chosen by our state convention rs can
auditor the choice will be Q wise one,
therefore
Resolved, That our delegation be in
structed to use its best efforts to advance
bis nomination.
The following were selected as dele-
gates to the state convention:
Geo, s. Thompson, ]. II. Crowley,
John A. Martin, ]. Dunlap. Alternates,
F. NJ. Clark, o. E. Adams, G. H. Allen, j.
B. O'Neil. NJ. w. Lincoln.
Alternates to the state convention
were declared to be delegates to the con-
gressional convention and vice versa.
After the close Of business stirring
speeches were made by several delegates.
John A. Martin favored giving the
Democracy trial this year, but wanted
the Populist party held in shape to re-
sume national activity IL the Democracy
proved faithless to it's trust.
Judge Parker said it was gold, VS.. sill
ver-Wall Street, vs.. the people. He
was ready to affiliate with all elements
which were opposing the shylocks both
in the national and state campaigns.
The aims of the Populist party should be
the advancement Of their principles, not
tho gobbling up Of the offices.

Even the most eminent of the gold
standard orators overlook one very i'm.
portant fact in abusing silver. They
paint the horrors Of the 53-cent dollar,
but fail to remember the conditions
which have depressed the value of silver
John Sherman has told us that the priv.
ilege of coinage gives gold md silver
their chief value. The attempt to estab,
lish the present price of silver as its nor.
NAL value is injustice of the worst sort
OF course Its value is resuced when it is
denied the main avenue of its usefulness
There will be no 53-cent dollars when
silver shall have the same access to the
mints that is given gold.
