LEARN TO LABOR AND WAIT.

For the lessons of life
They are many and stern;
And the. hardest to learn
Is not maSterful strife
For a king or a state;
1t is only-to wait.
Youth is eager to start
On the ocean alone,
Ere his strength be full-grown;
And though Age from his heart
May of perils inform,
Still he thirsts for the storm
If his courage be high,
He may struggle along
And by sorrow grow strong:
And the years, as they fly,
May allot him life's prize
On this side of the skies.
But the many that strive,
For the laurels must fail;
And full many sail
At Deaths port shall arrive,
That could enter joys gate
Would its master but wait.

GOD STILL HOLDS HIS PLACE.


At the present day you can approach
a truly religious man and face him
with any amount of discouraging sta
tistics. You can tell him that fewer
people are attending church. You can
point to the mighty power of the press
and say that that power is increasing
ly used for the purposes of evil, and
still, after you have said your worst,
you cannot compel your religious man
to believe the worst or to believe that
that mighty agency is to have any
other power than to fulfil the pur-
poses OF God in the world. You can
point to the institutions of religion
You may say, Here is a flaw, or here
is a defect" you may say that re-
worth living; and still the man who
smile at your words. He knows, be-
cause he knows God, that this uni
verse of ours is, in spite Of it's defects,
but fulfilling the great, the divine will
Of him who was and is and is to be.
And the spirit of a great hopefulness
will take possession of the soul of a
religious man just in proportion as he
finds himself in the presence of these
things which are dark and discourag-
ing. He will confess that, so far as
the universities of life are concerned,
nothing is palmer than this, that
God, the God of love, still holds his
universe, in every department, in the
hollow of his hand; that his will is to
be done in earth as in heaven, and
that his kingdom is to come here that
1t may come there.-From a Sermon
by Dr.. Nehemiah Boynton.

know what they are about, and we will
not question their selection. 1t will
make no difference to us what tn,
platform may be upon which the can
didates are selected" Senator Faulk
ner has no doubt about the election OF
Bryan and Sewall. nor about their
carrying his own state, of which he
said: II think West Virginia will be
carried by free silver. believe that
the sentiment throughout the state is
overwhelmingly in favor of it. In my
swn county know personally of re-
publican votes that we will get with
our platform. think the same con.
dltlon exists in other connties in the
State. We will hold our State con-
vention August 18th, and will nomi-
nate state ticket upon a silver basis
throughout One of our Congressional
candidates will also be for silver"
The Congressional committee has
already placed large orders for Mr..
Bryan $ speeches in order to be able to
come in. Among the other documents
selected by the committee for campaign
use are speeches on finance by Senators
Daniel. Jones of Ark. and Cockrell; on
the income tax by Representative
McMillin and .Ex-Representative Wike,
and Representative Fitzgerald IS speech
on .sectarianism and The Marqutte
statue. 44
According to present Indications, the
mum Der of Democratic clubs which
will take part in this years campaign
will largely exceed that of any pre-
vlous campaign. In one day, this week,
sixty applications for charters for new
clubs were received at the headquarters
'f the National Association of Demo
cratic Clubs
There is reason to believe that a Jold
lttempt is to be made to prevent the
oopulist Convention, which will be
leld at st. Louis next week, endorsing
Bryan and Sewall. Agents Of those
Interested in having,the Popufists put
'p ticket of their own, for the pur.
'ose of dividing the silver vote are re-
epor;ed to have intimated to leading
'opulists that any price that they
aight name would be paid for failure
N the part of the convention to en-
orse Bryan and Sewell and the nomi-
alton OF a straight populist ticket.
hose who ought to know say the con-
ention viii either endorse Bryan and
ewell or will nominate them outright.
is certain that the silver convention
be held at the same time and place,

Washington Letter
From snr Regular Correspondent. +,

E fIOm onI kegnaT SOffesp0uGeEI
!, Senator Jones. of Ark, who was ches
en- by Mr. Bryan to be chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, re
turned to Washington this week. lie
brought with him an immense stock OF
ing among democrats. He refuses "a
consider the election of Bryan and
Sewall other than an absolute certain
ty, and he says he knows prominent
republicans who take the same view of
the situation, one of whom told him
that he would not be surprised to see
silver carry every state outside of New
! England. He was asked if he feared
the nomins ton of gold democratic
ticket, and replied: mot in the least.
Why should we? 1t will not carry any
state, and the only votes it will get
will be of those democrats who would
otherwise vote for Mckinley or else go
| fshlrg. 1t may be called an inde-
not be representative of the demo cratic
party. called together In national con-
vention by It's national com mittee, has
already acted. No one has any au-
thority to call another democratic con-
vention. No, the threat. if it may be
called one, of certain gentlemen to
hold unother convention has no terror.
Understand that several administra-
ton officials refuse to support the
nominee of the democratic convention.
They have never been with us. The
fact that they are not with us now is
not astonishing" Secretary Herbert
was probably one of the officials Sena-
tor Jones referred to. as he is credited
with having said that he would not
vote for Bryan and Sewall.
Senator Faulkner. of W. Va, chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, believes that the ,
democrats can capture, the House this
wear and is determined that it shall
not be the fault of the committee il
they do not. He says: The province
Of this committee will be to aid the
election of any candidate for Congress
upon the regular democratic ticket.
We have nothing whatever to do with
,he nominations for Congress, and will
AXE no part in the contests for them.
4 tter the candidates are selected, how
.ver, it will be our business, and we
will see to it that all the aid possible is
,iven for the election of those candi-
lates We will take it for granted
