The daily reports in the Journal show
that there is a great deal of political ac-
tivity throughout the State. but being nee
essarily brief, they convey no adequate idea
OF the magnitude and enthusiasm of the

local Republican papers can do this, and
they do it in a. very remarkable degree.

reports. They Indicate a popular uprising

Populist Senator Allen spoke to a small

Indiana. He voted for the present tariff

the silver clique in declaring that no reve-

in the treasury or rescue industrial inter-

score rich men shall be stamped double its
value as legal-tender money. He assails

and she had words-once upon day.
They had so many words, in fact, that
the girl, who is said to have more than
a bit of temper, ordered him never to
presume to speak to her again as long
as he lived. She forbade him to recog-
nize her, even, and said that she would
make it point to forget that she had
ever met him. This was last winter.
The other day she went into the bank
in which he is employed to have a
check cashed. The blond young man
appeared at the window. He took the
check and examined it carefully. 1t was
a broiling hot day. The Georgetown
girl was in hurry. She hadn't an ac-

The Importance Of Prayer.

Prayer is, in the plan Of God,
vital force in the universe-as truly
a force in moral world as electricity
or gravitation is force in the world
of nature. It is, therefore, not
enough to say that because our Fa-
ther .knoweth what things we have
need of before we ask him, We shall
gain nothing through an attempt to
make known to him our need and
desires. Ged has chosen to condl-
ton certain gifts to US on our request
for them, and unless we pray accor-
dinghy we have no right 10 expect or
receive these gifts. The Son of God
while he was the Son of Man realized
the Importance of prayer for his low
ed ones, ard he epjoined on his dis
ciples the privilege of prayer. Ii we
would be bl ssed we must pray for
ourselves. If we would have others
blessed we would pray for them. 1t
IS often the case that we can do more
for those whom we love by prayer IN
their behalf, than by any other mode
of endcavor. And to know thai
those who love US are praying in our
behalf, is something to be profound
ly grateful for. God may honor the
prayers for US of those whom we
prize but lightly.

Court Etiquette.

The delicate distinctions of court cti-
qucttc are too many to be fathomable by
Us simple republicans, but they are not
without a degree of interest. For exam
pie, at the drawing room recently held
by the Princess of Wales for the queen,
the royal state carriage was sent for the
princess, but if she had been merely at
tending the function as an assistant she
would have gone in her own carriage.
Since she represented the queen she
must ride in the queens carriage. e.-New
