LEARNED A LESSON IN THE BUT
LER CAMPAIGN.

EDITOR SOUND MONEY:-H. E. Tau
beneck has made another bad break by
nominating Teller for President. l
fear the man is losing his former good
reasoning powers.
Teller could no more hold the Pops
together than did B. T. Batter hold the
greenbacks together in 1888 Taese
two are on a par. Butler was a seced
ing Democrat and Teller is a seeding
Republican. If it took TelIor % years
to learn that his party had dsmone-
tiz9d silver aud refused to remonetize
it, why then is he 0 too dull Of ccm
prehension to lead the Pops?
New converts should be willing to be
taken in the party on probation. The
reform party is 20 years old and we
should choose our leaders from amongst
our yearlings, at least. And another
important point IN choosing leaders
Is not to seek him amonst the rich
lawyer politicians. Our leaders should
be men chosen from out of the indus
tril ranks. They should be well &C
quainted with labor, productive labor
not the labor of cheating and taking
productive labor. We have no need o
labor fakers.-Eias Do'z, Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa.

Out for the Stuff,
B.-"Hellol Mr.. Editor"
R-"Hellol Major. Anything new
in your beat to-day3'
B.-"No, nothin much. I'm jlst
waitin ter hear whut will be done at
Shicago this week. That convention
means success or ruin, or both. Ii 1t
declares fer silver the folks will jet
Iaf at it, an if It declares fer gold it
will be erbout the same. 1t looks ter
me like my party il headin fer the
graveyard ez fast az it kin, fer no mat
ter whut it does Ole Nick will be ter
pay an nothin but a few sound dollars
left ter do the payiu. I'm plum fus-
trated ter death an so nervous 1 don't
know whut ter do"
RI don't gee any real u Tor
alarm. The Convention will not do
anything that party fools can't endorse.
If it declares for gold you will be
solid. If it declares for silver you will
understand that no harm is meant, for
prominent Democrats say that 1t Is
strictly a matter of party policy. In
fact the Democrats are very lukeWarm
on the silver question now since they
have found that they can't fool the
Populists or anybody else. Every
body now is aware that the State ticket
nominated here recently from Watson
down is a part of the Ransom leve
land combination, and it is plain that
Ransom slyly pulled the wires. It is
also plain that the old enemies of the
Alliance are among the nominees.
Aycock, the only farmer nominated on
the ticket, and he isn't a farmer to
hurt, is a strong Ransom hacker. Wa
son nominated Ransom for the Senate
the last time he was re elected, and his
nomination for Governor is simply a
payment of the debt. 1t is the same
old R 4nsom-C Cleveland outfit mas quer
aiding urder silver colors, hence is god
and bourbonism boiled down. We
dare any of them to deny it,"
B-"On! 1 don't care anythin err
bout that. Success is whut I want. l
would just az soon hev Ransomites az
anybody so it il called democracy. l
wanter beat Betsy an her crowd, an eff
we kin do that by electiR Ole Nick Pm
willin."
R-"You will not have the pleasure
of voting for Old Nick this year. He
is busy manipulating Cleveland, Roths
childs and Wall Street games, and is
out of the race this year. He prefers
to be a private in the Democratic ranks
rather than to be put up as a target for
the people to defeat"
BIZ that so? If it IL we are beat
az sure az Christmas, fer we never did
win unless he il on the dymakrat ticket.
We run him in 1892 and gained a com
plete vicktory an if he will not let hi2

LATTER DAY SAINTS DEDICATED
THEIR CHURCH IN CECIL COUN-
TY YESTERDAY.

ELKTON, Md, Oct. 5.-The Latter
Day Saints, commonly called Nor
mons, dedicated their church at Bald
wins, Cecil county, yesterday. The
ceremonies were we'll attended, not
withstanding the inclemenL weather,
and a number of prominent laymen of
the church from all parts of the cOun-
try We're present. The dedicatory SER
mon was preached by Rev. w. H. Kel-
ley of Kirkland, Ohio. The other
ministers to take part in the services
We're Rev. A. II. Parsons, of Philadel-
phia, and w. A. Smith, of Persia,
Iowa. The church is a one-story frame
building, with a seating capacity of
about 100.
Until six years ago the members of
the present congregation were all mem
bers of the Methodist Church, some be-
ing class leaders. They did not agree
with the teachings of the gospel as
preached by the Methodists. One of
the most important teachings they be-
lfeved was that immersion was essen
tial to salvation. Jonathan V. Carter
was their leader, and with five others
started the Latter Day Saints. They
held meetings for a time in the Mill
property, and Mr. Carter, who is a land
owner, donated a piece of land upon
which their chapel is erected. They
do not believe in the teachings of Brig
ham Young.

He took a brief text last night, but
confined his remarks principally tC
some personal experiences with the
power Of prayer, and urged upon every
Christian to become more fervent in
prayer and to single out some particu-
lar person or act and pray for that
not for things or wholesale blessings
that they never expect to get.
Upon his invitation about twenty
mothers and fathers came to the altar
and prayed for their unsaved kinsmen
and while they were thus engaged a
hymn of invitation was sung. and one
young man presented himself as a

Fourteenth and Scott streets, was held
yesterday. Notwithstanding the threat
ening storm. large congregation was
present at the morning services to
greet the former pastor and friend,
Rev william T.. White, now of Fed
eralsburg, Nd.
AS one entered the church building
ne was met with the fragrance rising
from the beautiful flowers and potLed
plants. which had been tastefully
placed in every vacant spot in the edi-
fee. The pulpit and altar place were
artistically arranged by the Ladies'
Aid of the congregation.
Mr. White preached an eloquent SER
mon on the words, Can any good
thing come out of Nazareth?" He
congratulated the congregation on the
advancement made under the leader
ship of its pastor, Rev. John France,
and exhorted the members to continue
the great work, as the field around
there is ripe with the harvest; also to
be faithful in the discharge of every
duty, not looking upon the dull times
or the stringency of the money mar
ket, but unto God, who is the giver Of
every good and perfect gift, and whose
promise is yea and amen to all who be-
lieve.
At. 2.30 p. m. Mr.. White addressed
the Sunday school.
At 3 o'clock Rev. w. L. S. Murray,
d. d. pastor OF st. Paul's NJ. e. Church,
addressed the large audience on the
deeper work of grace in their heart

lives of many departed, also to those

that all might be instrumental in
bringing many to Christ and adding
unto the church daily such as should be
eternally saved.

of Union NJ. e. Church, preached a
fine sermon on the words, Thou art
rich"

chile language as he portrayed to them
what would make them rich in this life
and give them a home in the haven of
eternal rest. He paid a glowing tribute
to those with their riches who give
generously to the work Of the church,
but said that a congregation starting
ont in the work of God with a fine
church and every convenience, he con-
sidered rich in this world if Christ
reigned and ruled in every heart, and
each one was prompted to work for the
salvation of those who were out Of
| Christ.
The collection taken for the day
amounted to Sl00.
The pastor, Rev. John France, con-
graduated the members of the congre-
cation and thanked them for their gen
erous contribution. and said that he
hoped in the extra meetings to be held
this week that those present would
come and turn in with the overtures
of the gospel and find grace TO help
them in every time of need.
