candidate for governor of Texas, ar
rived here this morning on his way to
Sour Springs, in Wilson county. where
was very much interested in telegraphic
bulletins being received from the Chi
cago convention. He said that he. felt
sure of the success of the Populist ticket
in Texas; that he regarded the conven,-
ton and state as already decided, and
that sentiment, except in few sections,
was thoroughly crystalized and the Pop,u-
lists were sure winners. Asked If he
thought the action of the Chicago CON
vention would affect the prospects of his
party, he said:
mo; | really do not believe it will.
1t is true that the platform they have
adopted advocates great things which we
advocate. but then | do not think that

THE CONSTITUTION ON SILVER.


I'VE invite attention to the fact says
he Democratic platform. that the fed
,:al constitution names gold and silver
hgether as the money metals of the
United States" This is intended to con-
yey the idea that the constitution not
only justities, but practically requires,
the continuous coinage of silver, regard
less of all unfavorablc conditions. and
that congress has no discretion in the
matter. 1t is very easy to show that such
an Interpretation is wrong. The consti-
tuition does not say that gold and silver
shall be the money metals of the United
States, and does not specify what mate
rial shall he used by the government for
that purpose. There is but one reference
issue money, and that is in section s of
article |, which says, 1.-THE congress shall
have power to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coins Oh
vously, such II provision requires only
that the material selected for use as
money shall be such as can be coined.
1t does not mention silver or any other
metal: and congress is under no more
obligation, strictly speaking, to give pref
ercnce to silver in that relation than to
choose copper or aluminium. THE money
of the constitution" about which we
hear so much, is really whatever con-
gress may see fit to make it. SO far as
the questions of the kind of metal is CON
cerned, and the regulation of its value.

SUGGESTIONS.


1. Be Observing. 1t is our duty TO look out in
advance. Though we have not the power OF
predicting future events. we can avail ourselves
of all hints given US by the Omniscient. There
are signs OF the times which can be read, and
some ingenuity in their Interpretation may be
of great service to Us IN the manipulation OF
our plans.
2. The saved are TO come from everywhere.
This fact harnoniZes with the commission IN
ST. Matt, %: 49, Here is encouragement Tor
M ssion work.
8. BE sure that all who mistreat oar Savior
will regret IL sometime. Such mourning as
that referred 10 in st. Matt, "a: 30, may not be
true repentance, but it will be on this account
more painful. As Christ will yet bring us all
to our knees (every shall yet bow before
HIM, so lie will bring US to lamentations.
4. Seek another home. Earth is get to cease
to be. Make not this life the end for it is not
5. Let teachers illustrate. Use parallels to
enforce religious truths. Study, observe ma
ture and become able to impart abstract and
spiritual truths by comparisons made with tue
natural world.
g. Confde in all of Christs promises. Not
ono of them can fail. God would rather wreck
the universe than let one of his promises re-
main uuiulfiiled. st. Matt, 81 30.
Z. As it was the duty OF people to be ready
for the calamities resulting from the overthrow
of Jerusalem, so every generation should keep
in readiness for the final coming OF the Son OF
Man. You ought to be prepared. lie Will
come in an hour ye think not. Be like the
five wise virgins. Keep your lamps trimmed
and supplied with oil.

For Ae Profitable Reading Of the Word.
30 Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. who hast
given US thy Word to be q lamp TO our feet and

reverently and attentively read and hear its
holy lessons, and, thinking upon Thy COM
mandments to do them, may fud in them the
