Perhaps the sooner the lines are

The Examiner mistakes a little.
The SIGNAL did not state that the
book was filed from cover to cover
with gold bug teachings, but said its
department under the head of "Coins
and Coinage was vile enough to JUS
tify the conviction Of the whole work.
The entire work has not yet been ex-
amined, but from what we are en-
abled to learn, we think inquiry
would develop that the best teachers
hold a very poor opinion of it in
many features as text book on civil
government.
Besides the papers quoted above,
the New Era, Idaho Avalanche, Cas-

book in strong terms and voice the

WHAT OF THE FUTURE2

The Denver Times recently asked
Governor Mcconnell to make a state
ment Of what he believed this coun.
try would be in one hundred years
from now In part the governor
said:
I'm my opinion, before another quarter
OF century has elapsed the United States
VIII have more ships on the SEA than any
other nation in the world. The strong
arm OF the country will be extended To
protect struggling republics from foreign
aggression and in turn the attention OF
all civilized people will be directed to
ms nation as the model government of
the world, embracing as 1t will before
another 100 years go by, the entire North
American continent"
That is about what the past mag
nillcent career Of the American re-
public would promise for the future,
and what the genius of the people of
this nation leads us to hope for; but
it cannot be done by departure from
all those inspired principles designed
and laid down by the earlier fathers
OF this republic through the first 80
years OF its life. Those principles
were born Of the breath Of fire and
bore the essence of divinity. If we
are going to shatter all these old lines
upon which that greatness was built
up we cannot tell what will happen
We must remember this is fast ma.
ton, wrought first from human wrongs
and guided by such genius as the
world never saw before, it has whirl.
ed onward while all the earth stood
still in awe at its rushing career In
one short hundred years it has writ
ten more in the pages of the univer-
sal record than any other country
has in five centuries. Is there no
possibility that it may not be more
rapid in descending the slopes than
in climbing the mountains. The old
gods are becoming more and more
despised, and the flame written scroll
more and more controverted; the ele
ments that thinking men dread are
stalking up and down the corridors
and civil and political ulcers exist
unchecked. Who shall say that this
trampling upon and tearing to shreds
of old civil religions is not an enter
ing wedge of dissolution which shall
drive us the way of other dead ma
tons whose courses and history we
are now repeating in modern inten-
sity? And the crumbling once be-
gun who can tell how few numbe
of years shall compass more than a
thousand circles of the seasons wit

As expected, it only required the
calling of public attention to some

any such book in the schools of the

ALBERT BROCK.

And is he dead? Is the question that
presses upon the minds of those he served
and those who loved him. Every feeling
of our hearts revolt at the thought, and we
long to answer-it can not. must not be.
Son OF sire second to few as Southern
gentleman, he inherited his virtues and
avoided his mistakes.
Wecan note it now, that fortune had not
been liberal in her gifts to this noble little
gentleman, taking from him in eallest
childhood his father. and giving him deli
cacy of constitution that must have made
hardships and privation most painful.
Nevertheless, he met her frowns with a
smile, mounted her ladder, stepping its
rounds of pain and necessity with the cour-
age and cheer of a hero, the patience and
fortitude of martyr, and the justice,
christian gentleman.
