The Conquest Of temptation. Eph
G:l0-lS. \ temperance topic.
Intemperance is the result Of allow
ing ourselves to be mastered by an
INDUCED habit and having once
formed a bad habit, the temptation
TO give in TO it is constantly recurring,
and the difficulty of resisting that
temptation always grows weaker.
The devil uses every opportunity IL
remind US Of il, and with every new
remem brance the battle has TO be re-
fought. Eternal vigilance is the price
Of freedom. Christ said when the
diciples failed TO watch with him in
the garden watch and pray, that We
enter not into temptation" If the
temptation always came TO us at once
in its final form it would be much
easier TO resist. 1t is its insidiOusness
that gives it strength. An action
may seem TO be right to us at the
time and yet its results may prove it
to have been wrong. Intoxicating
liquor is often taken under the i'm
preston that it is necessary TO health
but it may arouse an appetite which,
strengthened by habit, may prove
altogether irresistible. Temptations
Of this class which are the results IF
our own habits are particularly hard
TO overcome. We can only hope to
conquer them by constant watchful-
ness and prayerfulness and by the in
dwelling of Christ in Us. He can save
even the weakest Of US for his strength
is made perfect in our weakness.
Yield not 10 temptat ion, for
Yielding Is sin, each victory VIII help
You some other 10 win;
Fight manfully onward. dark passions subdue,
= Look ever tOJcsus. He'll carry you through.

Superior, Tuesday, Aug. 18th, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate
for Congress. Hon. j. J. Jenkins was
renominated by acclamation. In as
much as the nomination by the Re-
publican Convention in this district
practically means an election, Mr..
Jenkins may be considered as our
congressman for the next two
years. He has proved himself an
energetic worker and faithfully de-
voted to the interests of his constitu-
ents.

for some of our free silver friends to
crack. We will be interested to see
how they win crack IL: IF there is
anything in figures the more the

Of silver at l6 To l..
Wright's speech was frequently i'll
terruptcd with applause. When he
mentioned General Weaver the silver
mems enthusiasm found vent in
cheers. His declaration that silver
should be considered o at n
proportionate value with gold called
out prolonged cheers from the gold
standard people, while the silver men
remained silent, barring a mild pro-
test from one or two delegates. Boies'
name brought the convention to its
feet, and the cheers continued for
fully five minutes. An intima:ion of
Boies' alleged inconsistency was in
te%rrupted by cries of "Boics." "Boiesr;

The candition OF the treasury is II
puzzling thing. Looked at from the
point OF view OF republican platforms
and candidates and emergency bills
1t Is little short OF appalling; bank.
ruptcy, deficits, criminal incompetent
cy. gloom, no hope till the republic
cans come to their own. But il it ia
a question OF money to spend for ships
and armor and guns and dredging
Salt rlver and building $3.50, COO court
houses in Oklahoma. there is cash in
plenty. Senator German opposed an
addition to the naval bill the other
day on the ground that ~the condition
OF the treasury" did not warrant wild
extravaganza. But he was quickly
answered that the treasury was actu-
ally running over with moncy-no less
than S2SO, 100000 of cash balance.
What senator would thiuk OF being
economical with a bal. nee like that
to draw on? 1t was patriotism, not
money, that was lacking. Anyhow,
the democratic party came in for a
good cursing whichever way you tako
1t; it has bankrupted the treasury,
and then stands by doggedly and re-
fuses to vote n single one of the $780,
100000 it has needlessly taken from
the people and heaped up in the
vaults at Washington.-N. Y Post.

Another Outrage.

There are some boys in Elko that
seem determined to disgrace their
parents by serving Il term in the
ty jail. Thursday afternoon Mr..
Woodruff, the brick maker, hacked
up all the dry bricks on the yard and
covered them with lumber to protect
them from the storm. Besides those
hacked up there were several thous-
and newly made brick left OH the
ground. Mr.. Woodruff and his men
left the yard about five o'clock and
shortly after two boys and u dog were
seen on the yard by people in the
ncighborhood. These boys walked on
their heels over the brick on the
ground, threw the boards off the hack
and kicked it over in places and tore
out II corner OF the kiln destroying
between two and three thousand
bricks.
This Is the third time that Mr..
Woodruff has had the fruits OF his
labor destroyed by hoodlum boys and
he Is determined to put a stop to it il
the guilty parties can be found. Sus-
picion points very strongly to certain
boys and should it ripen into evidence
they will he arrested and severely
dealt with.
This scribe spent nearly the whole
forenoon investigating the matter and
believes that il tho officers in town
would interest themselves tho guilty
parties could he caught before night.
but so far rs We are advised no steps
have been taken by the officers L,-
yond making n few inquiries. That
kind o! work may satisfy curiosity,
but it will never catch n criminal.
This writer talked to Il good many
people to-day about this last outrage
and heard but one sentiment express
cd in regard to II and that was ono OF
universal condemnation coupled with
the hope that the guilty parties would
bc caught and punished.
There have been so many acts OF
h"oodlumism pcrpcttatcd lately and
gone unpublished that other md moro
serious oifcnscs will be committed
unless something il done by our citi.
zcns to induce the officers to make an
effort TO find on; tho guilty boys. Tho
good name Of our people demands
that some effort should DO made to
punish the boys guilty OF this last out
rage. To this endtlie laDErEHDrST lias
boon authorized to offer the following
reward for evidence that will lead 10
the arrest and conviction OF the guilty
parties: Mr.. Woodruff, slO; W. a.
Massey, 90; Rev. John Dawson, gil;
