Sermons OF the Future.

A writer In the St. Paul Dispatch
says that recently while sitting in his
room, there came to him through the
haZes Of his meerschauIn. the sermon
of a Goth century preacher as follows:
beloved, as we wheel along the road
which leads from the cradle to the
grave, we should beware Of the tacks
Of unrighteousness which the unre-
generate have placed in the path to
raise havoc with the tires Of useful
ness. Guiding ourselves by the de-
licately adjusted handle bar OF con-
science, we should assure ourselves
that we are provided with the pedals
OF truth and rectitude, SO that we
may not take header into the bot
tomless pit, there to ride the fiery
wheels which have been provided for
those who 90 not belong to the league
Of Christian cyclers. Let us be sure,
oh, my brethren, That the bearings Of
our daily conduct are as they should

works, and finally, my beloved, let
your light so shine that, even though
Satan should tempt you into scorch-
ing down the hill of iniquity, you will
be able to see your danger before it is
all to late. The route pointed out
by the arch-fend is easy of access and
tempts the unwary to scorch. but
there are no good roads in the fiery
domain, while the straight and mar
row cycle path will lead us all event.

always good and the righteous may
ride all the year around. We will
now unite In singing that beautiful
hymn, "Shall We Pedal at the River. !"

A Stem Toward Fiat Money.

Il will ask you to remember the
fundamental facts in this controversy,
1t is really fight for honest money
and honest currency against the de-
basement of the currency and the i'm
pairment Of credit. Free silver is but
a step toward fiat money. At bottom
the Bryanites are hostile to the men
who save, to the men who put their
money in the savings banks, who are
investors in any form of productive
capital, whether bonds or real estate
OF crossroads stores. Every dema-
gogue in the land, every man who
hates with q venomOus hatred the we'll
TODD because they are wellto-dO, the
thrifty because they are thrifty and
have worked and saved, are arrayed
against us.
But free silver is not the worst thing
in the Chicago platform. The platform
contains an attack on the supreme
court, and therefore upon the main de-
pendence of our liberties. 1t contains
a demand that the laws shall not be
enforced in certain contingencies. This
means free riot, and it is fitting that
with the demand for free silver should
go the demand for free riots. The men
who are ready to strike down the cur
rency of, the country are ready to strike
down at the same time that safeguard
of our liberties which we have received
from our forefathers in the constitu-
tion-the supreme cOurt.-Theodore
Roosevelt to the Commercial Travellers
of New York.

1t was due almost solely to the act
fvity of Mr.. Chiids that the interpreta-
ton of the constitutional prohibition
against the holding of state office by
any member of the legislature was
brought before the supreme court,
and a precedent was established
which, it is universally admitted, will
accomplish one of the greatest and
most needed reforms of the present
day.
Other eases which were tried were
followed up by Mr.. Childs with such
distinguished ability as to evoke APP
plause from the whole Northwest.
were his handling of the Holden muir
der case; the Great Northern Northern
Pacific consolidation case and that in
which the city of Duluth is now a
party. Though ne has served two
terms, and though several of the
ablest and most distinguished lawyers
of the state were candidates for the
nomination in the state convention,
Mr.. Childs was nominated by an
easy majority, and so general was the
belief that he would be elected that,
had he chosen to go out of his way
for the purpose, the Democrats of the
state would have given him their en-
dOrsement. He did not want it, for
the reason that he is Il consistent and
conscientious Republican, who has
done his whole duty by the people, who
elected him, and he felt confident of
the result when it was placed in the
hands of the people whom he had
served.

The Price of Bryan's Triumph.

And at what price will this ultimate
result be gained in the case of Mr..
Bryan'S election? At the price Of the
most violent and destructive crisis on
record, such a crisis as can only be
brought on by sudden subversion of
the standard of values and of the
whole basis of credit. At the price Of
indefinite business paralysis and dis
tress. At the price of the ruthless
spoliation of the savings accumulated
by the toiling masses. At the price Of
robbing our war veterans of half the.
value of their pensions. At the price.
of greatly increasing the number of I'M
employed by discouraging enterprise.
and of curtailing the value of the
wages of those remaining at work. At
the price of the respect Of the world
for our intelligence and practical sense
And worse, far worse than all this, at
the price of something that has never
been forfeited since this republic was
born-at the price Of the greatest good
q nation can possess and for the pres
ervation of which it should shed it's
last drop of bloOd-at the price of our
national honor. For this nation, So
rich and powerful, would stand before
the world as a wantOn, reckless repudi>
ator. as nothing better than fraudu-
lent bankrupt This will be the cost
of the experiment. Are yGd willing to-
paw this price?-Carl Schurz in Chr
