OUR GOLD
While We Continue to Issue Bonds and Go In
Debt still More.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-The state depart
Consnl-General Laurel, at st. Petersburg, in
relation TO the amount of American gold held
by the Russian government. The consul-een-
eral says that he has seen no less than $3o,-
769,11 in good United States gold coin in the
Golfers of the Russian government
That was on the first day of last January.
The consul-general was invited with the con-
suls OF other countries at st. Petersburg, to
witness the transfer of a sum of 10000, 900
roubes IN gold in the Russian treasury to the
exchange fund Of the government bank, where
it was needed for the redemption of paper
roubles. Included in this store of gold, he
saw I4,37h756 roubles, in value of United
States half-eagles. While the coiraee of all
the nations of the world were represented in
this particular pile of gold, no other nation,
save Russia itself, came anywhere near the
store contributed by the United States to the
Russian Golfers. Japan came next, with only
I,67S,5I9 roubles worth of yens, while of Brit
ish gold in this pile of Russian money there
were pounds sterling to the small amount of
less than a million roubles. Afterwards to
make the impression stronger, our consul-gen-
era was taken into the bank vaults and per-
mtted to look upon the balance of the banks
funds held upon that particular day, and saw
more United States gold, this time stack of
3,o33,S23 United States gold half-eagfes,
amounting i'll value to 25,462 ,o45 roubles, SO
that the Russian bank had in its possession of
our gold $3o,769,II5. When he asked how
that amount OF United States gold came into
the possession of the Russian bank, the gov
ernor informed him that the Russian minister
of finance had purchased it at different times in
Berlin, Paris and London. The gold was kept
in small bags, and these again in larger ones,
which were piled up in tiers, each bag being
sealed and ticketed with the denomination and
value of the contents.

OUR END OF THE STDING.

Two boys were playing game of pull-haul-
One was big; the other was small.
AS the big boy gave himself back fling,
l cried, Johnny, Johnny, hang onto you
stringl'
There's string in this country-'tis "Money
to loan"
Wall street has one end; the other we own
While their end they haul, to our end we'll cling,
For we'll have to watch our end of the string.
The "highest gold standard" we know is cheat
1t means low standard for corn, oats and wheat;
And everything else but little will bring.
We will have to watch out for our end of the
string.
With many farms mortgaged at dollar for wheat,
At the highest gold standard you see we are
beat.
Now, three bushels of wheat dollar will bring
Its shows they are watching their end of the
string.
The "hghest possible standard" it Is their in
tent.
Three bushels of wheat they want for cent
Down will go cattle, and pork get fling.
We better look ont for our end of the string
We better wake up, for it's like horse trade.
1t is mighty big talk till the bargain is made.
Then often you hear this accurate fling
Why didn't you watch your end of the string?
This fall there will be game OF pull-haul,
To see if we have half, or Wall street all.
There may be stretching, swaying and swing,
But never let 60 of our end of the string
We want American silver and American gold
good, honest dollar, as we used it of old
American money with American ring.
In future we'll watch our snd of the string.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP PAYS

United States commercial agent at Weimer
has recently submitted a report on the Prussian
railroad system
1t states that the gross receipts last year from
state railroads was s$244,467,174-more than
one-half the entire revenues of the state. The
ne: earning.s'after deducting S53,24o, 600 in
terest on working capital and sinking fund,
were $5T ,o5I ,ooo which has been turned into
the state treasury.
This sum is larger than the income from
taxes of all kinds, and simply gives an estimate
OF the enormous revenue this country would
enjoy If all the 229,796 miles of railroads in
the United States were government property.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

ia like to be boy again
In old camp-meeting times,
And hear old-fashioned people sing
Those sounding tuneful rhymes
And see the mourners at the bench,
The righteous close around 'em-
Awaiting for Gods lamp to show
His Shepherd, true, had found 'em.
I'd like to be in church once more,
In old revival years,
Among the folk who still believed
God listened with both ears
TO those who sang the loudest song
Or shouted strongest prayer
I'd go back with willing heart
Could once more be there.
I'd like to see the preachers face
Above that bench again
A-shining through the happy tears
Like sunlight through the rain
And hear his Glory be to God!
So joyfully asserted,
When half dozen anxious souls
Had surely been converted
o, for day of those lost years,
And of that day one hour,
When good old mother so-and-so
Was shouting with the ''power''-
While men and women laughed and cried
As she danced down the aisle
A-shaking hands and blessing all
In "non-con-formar style.
But now the church has passed beyond
Experimental days
All! now, the good folks of that church
Worship in other ways
The anxious-seat has gone aloft,
By fiery furnace speeded-
Fol when revivals come along,
No mourners' bench is needed.
Yet, in this silent summer night
The branches softly swing
Within that lonesome grove, the leaves
Are sadly rustling-
And ghosts of dear, departed saints
Throng underneath the trees,
With spirit prayers and spirit hymns
A-murmuring to the breeze.
Once more, hear them singing: 30,
There are ten thousand charms"
In getting up and marching straight
To Christ's embracing arms.
Once more, see them bowling down,
With ghost knees next the sod
While song and prayer ascend once more,
Clear to the throne of God!

The |. o. 0. r. Sermon.

The Methodist church was COM
fortably filed last Sunday morning tC

0. f. This order marched to the
church in a body and occupied the
central portion of the auditorium,
making an imposing appearance.
After the usual opening exercises
and a vocal solo, Just As l Am,
Without One Plea, which was beau.
tifully sung by Mrs. F.T.OwenS, Rev.
E. a. HOyt preached powerful and
impressive sermon from the text,
Thou shalt love thy neighbOr as thy.
SELF
In the early ages TIE individuality
OF man was not recognized. If a man
committed tranSgresSiOn of the law
his entire family and even his cattle
and horses were stoned to death.
The son was the property of The
father, who possessed the power of
life or death over his children. The
wife was the absolute property of the
husband and must obey him in all
things. Rev. Hoyt showed how this
state of things was detrimental to
the human race and prevented man
from advancing, morally or intellect
ually.
He gave brief account of the |. O.
U. f. from its conception in England
down to the present day, and showed
how i: had been organized for the up
lifting of humanity and to exemplify
the old law handed down by the Al
that of loving ones Eeighbor
as ones self. We are, at the present
time, learning to love our unfortunate
nelghbor through almshOuses, hos
pitfalls and the like, bnt what we must
learn to do is to love our neighbor as
4 well man. TheprOblem of sociology
must be solved. The anarchists have
tried to solve it by doing away with
all government, but leave us only the
Hay Market as the tomb Of their
failure. The so-called socialists
would make man machine, working
Tor the government with no end or
aim in view, and would take away
the individuality of the man and put
the individual back two thousand
years, with no hope for the future.
This great question, what to do with
our well, strong and vigorous neighbOr
who is seeking work and finding not;
the farmer, who is being robbed Of
the fruits of his toll by sharFsters
who never did an honest days work
in their lives; the mechanic, who is
being displaced by labor saving ma
is the problem which pre-
sents itself for our solution. The
speaker thought the simplest answer
to the question, "HOw can l love my
DeighbOr as myself" was, "Give him
a chance"-a chance to grow and de.
velop and bring out all the Gcd-given
qualities that lie dormant in him
and showed how the lodge was en-
deavOring to help and benefit and lift
up humanity, and finally give him a
chance" When We have removed
the expressions from humanity, and
given him a chance for himself, then,
and not till then, will we have
learned to love our neighbOr as our
self.
