HENRY GEOPGE DEED.

HENhl LEOhGE DEHD.
 Tho extraordinary features of the "Greater New York campaign have been accentuated by the sud den death of Henry George, the can didate of the Jeffersonian Democrats for Mayor, at an early hour Friday morning In many respects the New York municipal campaign is one of the most remarkable the world has ever witnessed; it is especially remarkable for the nnm- Der of fatalities connected with it, MT. George being the sixth candi- date to die during the contest. Henry George was most remark able character. His career was ex- tra9rdinary. From poor and hum ble printer, and afterwards newspo- per writer he rose to wealth and fame Such are the possibilities of American fife that the deserving, however humble their station and lowlY their origin, can win their way by work and merit to high posi- tion and honor. Benjamin Frank lin did it, Abraham Lincoln did it, Daniel Webster did it, Henry Clay did it, and Henry George did it.
 Lives of great men oft remind ns,
 We can nuke our lives sublime.
 And. departing. leave behind Us,
 Footprints on the sands of time"
 Henry Georges upward start Ia life was first made when be was a eompositor on San Francisco news paper, at which time he sent a com munication, under a nom ac plume, to another paper published in that city. The article was published, and when the authors name became known he was invited to accept a position on the repertorial staff. From this time on MT. George rose rapidly and soon became an editorial writer and then managing editor.
 
 But it was not until his book, entitled, Progress and Poverty, was published that he became famous. Probably no political book in modern times has excited the general and widespread interest of Progress and Povery. It has since been translated into several different languages, and tho issue has run into the millions. Another one of Mr Georges famous books is Protection or Free Trade Ho was an ardent advocate of the single tax theory, as well as free trader.
 Along in the sos MT. George moved to New York. In 1886 he was Q candidate for Mayor, but was defeated.
 During the present municipal campaign in Greater New York Mir. George was nominated by the Democrats opposed to the Tamma- ay organization, who styled them selves "Jeflersonian Democrats.
 At the time of accepting the nom- ination Mir. George said: 'I'll make this race if it costs me my life This is call to duty, and as good citi. zen I have no right to disregard it on mere personal considerations.
 Little did he dream that he spoke the true words of prophecy, or that the exaeting duties of the campaign would "cost him his life. There was never any show for his election; his campaign was one of principle and protest against the methods of Tammany. But Mir. George was pre-eminently 6 man of principle, and bis death removes one of Amer ica's most distinguished citizens and political economists.
 The name of Henry George, Jr., has been placed on the Jeffersonian Democratic ticket in place of that of his father.

EFFEf T OF THE KL0ND KE
 DTSCOVERIES.

DTSCOTERIES
 There will be much speculation re- garding the probable effect of the KIordike discoveries on the one great controversy cf our times.
 No matter what public questions. national or international, may oc- cupy the public thought from time to time, the money problem will continue to be the paramount issue 1 in this country for many years. Variable industrial conditions due to shortage in some lines of com modities and over production ir other lines will always provide oc- cupation for an army of cheap money agitators who adhere to the falIacy that prices can be controlled by currency legisIation. These assaults upon a stable currency must be met from time by q fearless and well. informed electorate.
 It has been a favorite contert ton with the free coinage advocates that there is not enough gold to furnish sufficient volume of money with which to do the business of the country. This argument was bat-I tered to death during the campaign  last fall with an invincible array of statistics and logic. l. was shown that only about per cent Of the gold and silver cons were actually passed from hand to hand in bus- ness transactions, and that out of over l00,0OO,0O0 silver dollars that had been coined it was never possi- ble to keep over #, 0Q0, 100 of them in actual circulation
 Whether these arguments made any impression on the free silveeites or not, the news from the Idondike region contains no comfort for those who maintain that gold is not plen- tifuI enough to furnish a basis for q sufficiently elastic circulating med ium. So far $1, 500, 000 in gold from l the Klondike district has been de- posited at tue hints and assay off ees of the United States, and from information TOW ut hand there arc reasons for believing that from $3, l GOO, GOO to $4000, GOO additional will be brought out by steamers and re- turning miners sailing from St. Michaels the last of September. Director of the Mint Preston esti- mates that the Nlondike district will augment the worlds gold sup ply in 1897 nearly &I ,00o, ,090. 1t will probably add to the product from year 10 year for d decade or more. Canadas output for1897 is estimated at SIG, DOC, ,000, an increase over 1896 or ", 200, 000 The United States leads all other countries, the product Tor IS9t being estimated at $G0, ,0O0,0 GOO. The product of the world for 1897 is placed at s2l9. .000. : GOO.
 It is the opinion of Secretary Gage aud Comptroller Eckles that the influx of gold from the Klondike region will stimulate bus mess undertakings, create new ven lures and bring new volume of ex. changes into the competition for commodities. It's coinage will add 10 the volume of gold coin, and to that extent take away to a large de. l gree from those who advocate free coinage their basic argument that 1 there is not enough god to meet the wants of trade.-Chieago Times. l Hcrdla.

THE AEGR0 QUEST10N

W c. Richardson, a negro leader of Bradford, Pa, is out in com. munication to the New York 1ge, an Afro. Americas organ, in which he drops some hints of value, especi- ally to the negro race of the South. He says
 Tn the South there are schools for colored children as well as scho Jl9 for white children and che coiOred schools arc taught by colofed
 in tho North, colored children may get an education, may 1t themselves for teach Ing, but there arc no schools for them to teach, There are fcWsiUatons n Che North for educated negroes.
 My advice to the Northern negro Is to go South, where negro character ia understood und where negroes of integrity, education and ability are appreciated and respected by the better clNas Of whites.
 "t have been asked whether intended 10 go South and have answered that do Tho sGhcH, industrious and cnferpri9lHF negro has more opportunities for advancement i'll the soath thau in the North
 In commenting on this statement the Houston Posf very correctly says
 Mr Richardson fs= correct in the main. The negroes enjoy far more liberty, better business advantages and better facilities for education in the South than in the North, and yet very many of them not only fail to appreciate their improved condi- tioas here, but violate in their law .lessaess the generosity they should have gratitude for and the benefieeut system which gives them SO much encouragement
 Negroes of integrity. education and ability Uia always find q home in the South, but the sooner the in- corriqibIes of their race emigrate to the North, or somewhere else, the better for the happiness Of those who remain.

If Paul had lived at ease, after bring
ing the Gospel to Europe, he would have
sunk into oblivion. Tranquil lives are
the best to live. but not the best for the
historian. Paul was driven by violence
from Philippi. He was again driven
from Thessalonica. He was thrust out
of Berea. And this was according to his
expectation. He was not disappointed
when opposition became formidable. He
foreknew when he accepted his apostle
ship what his warfare would be. He
knew that enemies would oppose him;
that bonds and Affections awaited him.
With his mental eyes wide open he gave
his life to his work. He counted not his
life dear to him in comparison with his
work. He had no dread of honestly won
martyrdom. Nevertheless, till the day
of his coronation he was prudent as we'll
as brave. - In our lessOn-StOry,
telling US of Paul's trials in the early
days OF his ministry in Europe, we have
specimen of the ministry to which his
whole Christian life was devoted.

THE LESSON STORY.

The Magistrates OF Philippi. who
had condemned Paul and Silas unheard,
on learning that they were entitled to
imperial protection, treated them with
obsequiousness. Having publicly liber-
ated them from prison they besought
them, in order that the commotion in
the city might be allowed to subside. to
quietly depart. Paul deemed it advsa-
BILE to do 30. He summoned the breth.
rem to the house of Lydia. He counseed
them as to their future. He would have
them faithful to their responsibility as
members of the first Christian church
in Europe. While they listened to the
prescribed apostle with sorrow, his assur-
ances of love and reminders of the Cos
pei promises comforted them.
We have reason for believing that
Luke, who became his companion in
Philippi, was for season left by Paul
in the city. With Silas and Timothy for
companions in his wanderings, he de-
parted from Philippi.
The missionaries iourneyed westward,
along the Egnatian road. We read Of
them as pilgrims through Amphipolie,
thirty-three miles from Philippi. This
had been the scene of renowned martial

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION. Paul fulfilled minis
try that compels recognition by the his
torian. The opposition he encountered
was made the occasion of his moral VIC
tories; thus they were turned to benefit.
a. V. 14.-PAUL's APPEAL TO THE
SCRIPTURES. Violent opposition in Philippi
was simply reminder to Paul that he
came to Europe to bring the Gospel, not to
one city only, but to a continent. His
passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia
and tarrying in Thessalonica, was fulfil
ment of his purpose to plant the Gospel
in the influential centers.-Paul was
favored in his work in Thessalonica by
three things, the synagogue, the Sabbath
the scriptures. Suffering Coming
One is an unmistakable prophecy of the
Old Testament, especially of the notable
SD chapter of Isaiah. On the basis of
this prophecy Paul made strong appeal
to the Jews. The crucifed Christ was
explained to the believing Jews when he
was also received as the Risen Christ.
80 V. 5-9.-VIoLENT OPPOSITION ALSO
IN THEssALoNIcA.-- Why did the Jews of
Thessalonica feel such rage against Paull
He asked no favors. He took up no collec-
tions. Their best people of the city, some
Jews, more Greeks, many of the noblest
women,-believed the Gosple which Paul
preached. The enraged Jews acted like
their countrymen in Jerusalem in the
crucifxion. They enlisted a rabble. The
Christians are charged with preaching
against Caesar, because they acknowledge
Jesus to be their spiritual king.--The
arrested ones can find release from bond
age only by pledging to the "politarchs"
that the missionaries shall leave the city.
The Thessalonian Jews in spirit crucitied
Jesus afresh.
49, V, 10-12.-THE BEREANs ARE NAT
URAL CHRIsTIANs--They had ready minds.
They studied the scriptures to which
Paul referred. They patiently weighed
his arguments. In the exercise of their
sanity many of them became entirely sane
Christians.
The Berean story is not so pleasant
at the end. The news of the peaceful
success of the missionaries was carried
back to Thessalonica; the venomous Jews
OF that city came and stirred up such
tumult in Berea as made peaceful minis
try there no longer possible Paul went;
Silas and Timothy abode still in Berea.
Suffering, explained by the resur-
rection, is still the essence of the historic
Gospel.
The Gospel must ever be the trouble
of wicked men.
To hear with candor is ever noble
trait.
The study of the scriptures with an
entirely open mind, in willingness to ae-
cept all the human light which has been
cast into them and around them, and
especially with willingness to accept the
divine light which radiates from them,
is human right and high privilege.
