ANSWERED..

In tho throes of a mighty sorrow,
My soul cried out to God
"Almighty.-give me strength to walk in
The path thy Son hath trod.
Send down from thy throne in the heavens
One OF the angel band
Leave me not in the darkness cropping
Hoping to touch thy hand.
Il long for the air that is blowing
Upon the mountain high,
cannot live here in the valley
Help me Lord, or 1 die"
And then oh the wonder Of wonders
felt the rustling wings
And knew Of a surety that prayer
Always its answer brings.
! left my old SORROW behind me
Down in the val ey there
| walk on the top OF the mountain
With God in the pure air.

For Serious Consideration.

To no two persons does the idea of
God come with just the same meaning.
We each of us have our own standpoint
from which we catch glimpses of the
wonderful being.
To the person of affairs, whose life is
spent in manipulating vast schemes,
and moving large numbers of persons,
God is either an unknown and unheed-
ed factor, or he is the majestic ruler of
tbs Universe; who from the vantage
ground of His Superior power and wis.
dom, controls and moves all things.
To the one whose life is passed in the
restricted routine of petty cares and
trials, meeting and combating only the
small every day obstacles that are so
wearing and wearisome, God becomes
a personal friend, full of sympathy and
love, to whom the trials too small to
hold the attention of mortal friend can
be taken, and the tired, discouraged
worker feel sure of comfort and peace.
The very fact of telling Him makes the
burden less.
TO the intense restless spirit whose
every hour is warfare, a struggle for vic
tory over self, God is a refuge TO which
the worsted in the fight may flee, sure
that balm and healing will be given
when sought for; while to the fainting
spirits worn by the never ceasing strain
of physical pain the thought of God
and his love comes like the refreshing
shower to the parched earth, or dew to
the dropping flowers.
To the weak, he is strength, to the
sin sick, purity; TO the lonely, compan-
ionship; to the desolate, comfort, love.
10 each of US he may be something he
cannot be TO any other human heart be-
cause no other can call out from him
just the same tenderness. AS each one
of US possess a marked individuality
known only to our Heavenly Father SO
He becomes or may become something
to us that is not to any other.

The Water Light & Power company
il rather excited over the action of the
council institutins proceeding against
them through Pope x Perrin, attor-
neys, claiming that the company does
not furnish pure water for public use
As the company always does, when in
vestigation is talked, they Immediately
secured the ear of the Telegram man
and told him what they propose to do.
And in MONDAYS Telegram nearly q
column was devoted to explaining the
now experiment. Briefly stated they
propose to sink large wells in Mime
sofa point and introduce system Of
filtering through the sand, which ought
TO be thorough. But the probability is
that while We might for time have
pure water, if large fire developed the
valve in the bay would be opened in
order to supply the large demand
then all the mains would be filed with
bay water and then another howl would
go up. Can this question ever be set
tied satisfactorily? The proposed sys-
TEN is similar TO the plant which has
just been completed at Ashland.

Utah Admitted.

On Monday Jan. 9th the oath Of Of
flee was duly administered to the new
state officials Mt Salt Lake. The day
had been proclaimed holiday, and III
the early morning salutes were fired
and bells were rung, and whistles
sounded. Later grand parade, and
then the inaugural ceremonies, music
hy the band, prayer, reading of the
presidents proclamation, granting state
hood to Utah and finally the admins
tration Of the oath OF office to Geo.
Wells, and his speech. All in all the
services were very appropriate, and we
are all glad to welcome another Repub-
lican state to the Union.

February Ladies' Home Journal. He
vii. detail the provisions and methods
of electing Chief Magistrate, and will
have much to say bearing upon the
eligibility of President for reelection;
will give his views as 10 the length of
the Presidential term, and express
rather decided opinions relative to the
annoyance to which Presidents are sub
iect from office-seekers The article
is practical, based upon experience and
observation, and is very timely. Gen
eral Harrison believes that the fears
depressed by the trainers of our con-
stitution) that the power Of the office is
such As to enable an ambitious encumb-
terms havo never been realized. ''In
practice the popular opinion has limited
the eligibility of the President to one
reelection. But some of our leading
challenged the wisdom of the FOUR
years term, and have advocated six
years, usually accompanied with por-
hibition of a second term. And unless
some method can be devised by which
less considerable part of the four
year term must be given to hearing APP
plicants for office and to making ap-
pointments, it would be wise TO give
the President, by extending the time,
better chance to show what he can do
for the country. 1t must be admitted,
also, that ineligibility to a second term
will give to the Executive action great
er independence. 1t seems unlikely,
however, that any change in the Presi-
dents term will be made unless some
unexpected event should stir into action
a thought that is now a theoretical
rather than practical cast"

Speakers OF the House.

There has been thirty three Speakers
Of the National House of Representa-
tiyes. Henry Clay presiding over no
less than SIX Congresses, the Twelfth,
Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth,
Sixteenth AID Eighteenth. There has
never been but one Speaker of the
House chosen president OF the United
States, James X. Polk, Speaker of the
Twenty Fourth and Twenty Fifth Con-
crosses and eleventh president. Polk
date. The only aggressive candidate
for the Presidency in this entire list,
excepting Clay, was James G.. Blaine,
whose Speakership began with the
Forty-First Congress and extended
through three consecutive Congresses.
John Bell, of Tennessee, Speaker of the
Twenty-third Congress, was third or
fourth party candidate for President in
1860, but that hardly counts.
Schuyler Colfax was the only Speaker
who ever became Vice President. He
presided as Speaker over three Con-
crosses, the Thirty Eighth, Thirty
Ninth and Fortieth, and over the Sem
ate of tbs two succeeding Congresses.
No Other speaker ever ran for that
office. Speaker Dayton was from the
same state as General Fremont's run
ming mate to that name in 1886, but his
Speakership was over the Fourth and
Fifth Congresses,
In the early DAYS of the republic less
Importance attached to the office Of
Speaker than now; at least less reputa-
ton. The Vice Presidency and the
Secretaryship of State were regarded as
stepping stones TO the Presidency, but
not the Speakcrship. Even Henry
Clay was not indebted to that office for
his popularity. The Senate was really
the forum III which he made his reput2
ton, or the floor OF the House Schuy-
Ter ColfoN won more distinction, prob
ably, welding the gavel than any other
speaker before Mr.. Reed, for even Mr..
Blaine, great as he was as a parliamentary
leader, found his supreme opportunity

called rebel brigadier Congress. of
which Mr.. Kerr, and after his death 5
J. Randall. was Speaker llS75-76). No
other Speaker ever had 50 hard task

Our Excellent ~ Fire Protection.

Ifreports are true Postmaster Scion
has Just cause to feel that not much of
anything, to say the least, was done by
the fire company, to save his property
which was totally destroyed on Sunday
evening not later than nine o'clock.
We have heard several speak of the
length of time (Which was about thirty
mlnntesl the company were in getting a
stream from the engine onto the build
ing. Now this an outrage which ought
to be investigated and punished The
salary the city is paying out for fire
protection demands a service that
could not be excelled, and this record
is inexcusable. The damage TO prop
erty is estimated at about 5000 with
little insurance.

During the closing weeks OF 1898
the daily papers have published an ex-
traordinary amount Of interesting and
important news. 1t is worth something
to the busy newspaper reader TO have
this mass Of information taken up, ar
ranged, digested and reviewed in a
calm and intelligent manner. The Re-
view of Reviews performs this service
very efficiently every month. The
number for January, 1896, is especially
strong in this respect. The editorial
department, called The Progress of
the World" is distinguished for its able
handling Of national and international
topics of the hour. In fact, the Review
occupies unique position as truly
international magazine" Its soundlv
american stand on the Venezuelan
question is significant.
