American Files In England.

A retail hardware dealer in England
says that 80 per cent Of the files he sells
come not fro-n Sheffield, but from Amer
lea. and he explains the anomaly in The
ronmonger. The American manufac-
turers, it seems, keep large stocks in
London and fill orders with great
promptness. The American price lists
give exact information regarding sizes
and grades and promise delivery In
three days from London. A Sheffield
price list requires prolonged study to
comprehend it, and when an order is
sent to Sheffield it may not be filled for
four weeks, or even eight weeks. This
hardness in filling orders has been
matter of weekly experience for 20 years.

From Desert to Garden.

One more ray Of the dawn I see in
facts chronological and mathematical.
Come now, do not let US do another
stroke of work until we have settled one
matter. What is going to be the final
issue of this great contest between sin
and righteousness? Which is going 20
prove himself the stronger, God or
Diabolus? Is this world going to be all
garden or all desert? Now, let us have
that matter settled. IF we believe Isaiah
and Ezekiel and Hosea and Micah and
Malachi and John and Peter and Paul
and the Lord himself, we believe that it
is going to be all garden But let US
have it settled. Let us know whether
we are working on toward success or
toward a dead failure IF there is q
child in your house sick and you are
sure he is going to get we'll, you SYM
pathize with present pains, but all the
foreboding is gone. If you are in cy-
clone off the Florida coast and the cap
tain assures you the vessel is stanch,
and the winds are changing for better
quarter, and he is sure he will bring
you safe into the harbor, you patiently
submit to present distress with the
thought of safe arrival Now want to
know whether we are coming on toward
dlsmay, darkness and defeat or Oh to-
ward light and blessedness. You and

IMPORTANCE OF SIX VOTES.

1t is becoming more and more appar-
ent, as the procession of days moves
along toward the time for the holding of
the great national conventions in st.
Louis and Chicago, that, if the friends of
bimetalllsm can only get together in
time on rational platform with candi-
dates of the right sort, they will easily Sc
cure majorities in the next electoral col
lege and the next congress. The gold
bugs seem to realize this more fully than
do the supporters of silver. This ex-
plains the desperate fight they are max
ing to control the Chicago convention. If
they can prevent the Democrats from
nominating avowed silver candidates on
an unequivocal silver platform, their
jaundiced minds will be at rest, for this
would force the sincere silver people to
place third ticket in the field and then
Republican goldbug victory would be
assured either in the electoral college or
in the present Republican goldbug house
of Representatives. Possibly New Mex
icos six votes in the Chicago convention
might be just the number needed to pre-
vent this catastrophe. II is needless,
therefore, to urge upon Democrats the
vital Importance of seeing to it that
these six votes are cast by men whose
fealty to the cause of silver is paramount
to every other consideration.

presidency, he would appoint no Roman
Catholic to an office above the grade of
timber agent, fourth.class postmaster or
lanitor. So Judge Morrison may as we'll
hang his tuneful Mckinley harp on a
weeping willow. His prospects of be-
coming governor of New Mexico have
gone to that bourne whence not even
signs return to mingle with the lugubri-
GUS wailings Of those who are left behind.
Sad, awfully sad, but true as holy writ.
