gold from the concealing earth. II
Mr.. Rontgen can look through solids
could he not see the gold there? and
save the search for it.
But by this wonderful discovery We
might yet be able to verify st. Paul's
doctrine of natural body and spir.
itual body within 1t and to see with
the natural eye something of the mys-
terry the moment when the spiritual
is set free from the outer garment and
clothed upon with the immortal one.
1t sounds extrayagant, indeed, and
like dream; but who shall set linn

Another subject that is uppermost
with us (and you will not be surpris-
ed) is politics. But California is more

an abundance of both. We are, how
ever, wide awake as to the main ques-
tions at issue-especially to the cause
of the good women. ELECT Ladies'
God, bless them, who are fighting
the moral battles in this great con-
iict. If they did not, pray, tell me
who would?-as the little girl when
asked how Eve was made, responded:

lard, recently has said "The moral
back bone of this nation is its woman
hood. In twenty-five states women
now vote on the school question, and
following the lead of their brothers in
Wyoming. the men of Colorado have
placed the women of their state be-
side them on the throne of popular
Judgment. The municipal ballot has
been given to women in Kansas, and
has proved the right arm of the en-
forcement of prohibitory law.
In New Zealand men have given the
full ballot to women, and the domi-
nant issue is the prohibition cause.
Iceland and England and nearly all
the civilized and half civilized nations
are ready toadmit into municipal and
political questions the potent help of
women. They are learning that wom-
en-, also, can reason. A witty woman
has recently said: Reason is said to
be goddess; perhaps this is why
there is so little reason in politics. 1t

vote no matter how ignorant. What
a delightful satire on Republican in
situations! UNIFORMED. She will at
least compare with the college stu
dent, who, after listening one hour to
a lecture on Political Economy, said:
81 think | understand most of your
lecture, Professor, but I'd like to know
whether this 'ade valorem, you talk
about. is man or woman?r
| Whatever be the future of this Ques-
tion it has awakened in all sober

impress to legislation on the most i'm

the questions of politics demand the
best qualities of mind and heart and

shall deny voice to the best and pur-

greatest conflict of the ages is upon
this nation, questions in which her
