but l am concerned now and here wholly
with the question of motive. that is. with
says to his neighbor or TO his owr. heart. Il
am going to vote for this chans;e because
il will make Ii easier for me TO pay my
debts because 1t Will scale down my obli-
gations.' then that mans conscience If IL
does not need rebuking. certainly needs in
structing. If a man with his eyes open
compels his neighbors to pay his debts or
a fraction of them. is not that a violation
of the most sacred trust a man can place
in his fellow-man? Is there any one who
will seriously attempt to defend this motive
or. the political action based upon It? At
this point it is no longer a question OF judg-
ment, but one of motive.
1T is therefore the double character of
the main issue now before us which makes
II question both of political policy and
of ethics. a question for the forum and the
pulpit alike. With questions of mere polit-
icai expediency the pulpit as such has moth
ing to do, but it cannot abdieate it's right
to assert the moral law. 1t is then clearly
the duty of every man, first of all, TO ask
his conscience the question. Do expect "a
larger equity. sounder economic policy a
financial system which will work injustice
vantage of the power which political sue
cess will bring of needing the advice of the
Scripture steward who has always gone by
quickly to write fifty measures for the
hundred ] owe?' The question of motive
needs to be separated from the question of
judgment. for while the effect of given
policy would be the same in either case,
the effect upon the man could not be the
same. man may pursue mistaken
course and walk unashamed, but he cannot
do violence to his moral nature and be
what he was before. l say again 1t seems
to me quite possible for men to stand upon
both sides of the present issue with clear
consciences but the man whose conscience
is clear must pc su.ide himself that the
course he contsm ala tes means mere 1dstice,
equity and welfare to the Nation as n
whole. There is no principle more sacred
than that of trust, the abiding faith of man
in man. Our security rests upon 1t a upon
the granite of the eternal hills, and every
coin that circuates is virtual confession
of our belief i'm the essential integrity of
mankind. On the face of many of our cur
rent coins is this inscription. In God we
trust If that inscription is not to be a
blasphemy and a lie we must see on the
reverse of these coins this other inscrip-
ton. written in blazing letters. In man we
trust and that trust shall receive from
our hands no stain of dishonor, no abrasion
and no loss

MORAL SIDE OF DEBTS
REV MIR. DEWHURST REFERS TO
THE PRESENT FINANCIAL ISSUE.
Money a. Standard of Deferred Pay
ments-Man Must Not Expect to
Scale These Debts.

Rev f. b. DewhurSt last night preached
on the subject of Civic Religion" The
main thought of his sermon is that people.
in determining how they shall vote on such
questions the present political issues,
should do so as citizens of a common coun-
try and not individuals. They should
ask themselves whether their vote is to be
cast for the welfare of the whole people
or for their individual good. He held that
it is the duty of the ministers to teach that
the people should study to vote for the good
of the whole people. and lay aside all
thought of whether the vote is cast in favor
of themselves as individuals for. he said
what is good for all is good for one. After
reading an extract from recent article by
David s. Jordan on republican government
and a general introduction to his sermon
he said:
L do not wish for moment to forget
that / am not here to make a political adj
dress in a partisan sense, nor primarily to
influence votes, but rather tc distinguish so
far as we may be able, between the bearing
of the Judgment and the, bearing of the mo-
tive on TINS subject before So far as
motives AFFECT ones attitude to this ques-
ton 1t is, without disguise or apology, a
moral question. A man 5 Judgment cannot
very directly affect his motives for pur-
suing given course. but his motives will
very powerfully color and affect his judg-
.'If the millions of people in this country
were ranged on the different sides of the
present issue with no motives behind their
action beyond the Immediate effect upon
their own individual and temporary lot the
spectacle would be little more edifying than
that OF q pack of Jacka1s quarreiing and
growing over their prey. / do not believe
that men of noble spirit are so guided and
because they are not It certainly puts the
stamp of unworthiness upon the motive of
any man who says, 1 make my choice in
this contest exclusively upon the ground of
my own individual and immediate benefit
THE question, however. now vital and
stirring grows out OF a function OF money
entirely separate from the one named. it
grows out of the fact that money. besides
being a medium of exchange, is a standard
of defined payments that Is, a standard by
means of which obligations contracted to-
day may be settled with equity at some
future time The security of this equity
for future payment of obligations rests
upon the stability of the standard, and the
present issue is over the methods by which
that stability can best be secured and MAIN
tanned
AS regards the choice between the
claims OF the two sides / have arrived at
convictions that are clear enough to deter
mine my own act as a citizen at the polls.

ECLIPSE.
ROADSTER STALLION

Eclipse is brown horse, standing
154 hand high, weight 1175 pounds.
He is very smooth built, has heavy
and we'll formed bone and is very fine
about head and neck; his feet
aud legs are of the best. He has
superior style and action and his dis
position could not be improved. In
short he is u perfect driving horse
and in spite of the overloaded con-
dition of the horsemarket for the
past fe'r years this type of horse has
alway- .een sought for and have
commanded paying prices. Eclipse
is bred from the best sons of the
Great Allnont 80, being sired by
Athlete 715, dam Lady Mac by Antar
Jr. 5567, 2nd dam by Morgan Rather
and 3rd dam by Plow Boy $50.
Eclipse has never made cover that
did not produce foal but as he had
meyer had q season in the stud he has
Q very limited number of foals but
what he has would be q credit to any
sire.
His first colt, (the only one he had
at that time) was shown at the How
ard Co., Fair in 1894 and won first
prelnium in her class.
Eclipse won first premium as a
yearling ut the Howard Co. Fair in
1899, and with his full brother then
about twenty days old, helped their
dam (Lady Mac) to win the first
premium offered for brood mares in
the same year.
Eclipse will be kept at the farm Of
Ira Richardson, three and one-half
Miles southeast of Cresco, in Orleans
twp. Winnesheik Co. Iowa, and will
stand in Cresco at the Rink Feed
Barn, Mondays and Saturdays of
each week after May LIST 1896 for the
rest of the season,
The prospective breeder will do
we'll to examine this grand young
horse before breeding elsewhere.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is Manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
