1t remained a perfect image thirty

AS surely as lie travels faster than
the truth, so surely does vice outrun
virtue in the race for the occupancy Of
advantageous mining. The mining
headquarters in the British possession
near the Alaskan boundary furnish an
illustration. There were gambling dens
and other evil resorts there several
months ago, but no churches or reading
rooms Last fall when navigation
closed on the Yukon river the steam
boats with provisions for the miners
were a long distance off, but the boats
bringing whisky had arrived, dis
charged their cargoes and departed.
The race eventually, of course, will be
won by virtue-since God rules-just
as truth by it's inherent might prevails
over falsehood.

Another attempt has been made, this
time by Colonel Higginson, to write a
suitable national anthem for our coun-
try, and to furnish it with music
which shall be at once original and
dignified. The endeavor is worthy
one. But one can. not help remark
ing that the national songs which find
places in the hearts of the people are
rarely if ever the product of deliberate
and conscious effort, however patriotic.
They are struck out. as by inspiration,
in the heat Of some national crisis,
in the stress of some national move
ment. The conditions have never yet
tional anthem of the United States.

any occasion to use any caustic potash

Our consul at Jerusalem makes the
following report on American citizens
in Palestine: From the consular rec
ords it appears that'there are $50 citi-
zens Of the United States residing in
Palestine. Of this number 438 are Jews,
who are only nominally Americans,
having lived in the United States just
long enough to obtain citizens papers
and passports. The majority of these
emigrated from Russia to the United
States and thence to Palestine. OF the
other 80 American citizens, nearly all
have come here because of peculiar
religious views, and among them may
be found all possible shades of Chris
tian beliefs. The one idea that seems
to possess all, to a greater or less de-
gree, is that of the second advent of the
Lord. This is by all considered to be
an event soon to take place in Jeru-
salem. Some of them during the period
of waiting, are suffering for the neces-
stiles of life, but are content to endure
privations in the hope of being present
and witnessing the Lords coming. The
Spoffordite colony, or "overcomers," as
ahey call themselves, have recently
been increased by an addition of lit
Swedish Americans, mostly from Chi
cago. Just how many of these are citi-
zens of the United Staes, the consulate
is not informed, because of their refusal
to register. The leader, Mr.. Spofford,
laws claim to prophetic powers, and,
claiming to be under direct protection
of the Almighty, is averse to having
any human power interfere. AS they
are a peaceable and law-abiding COM
munity, or have been for some years,
the consulate has not been called upon
in this regard.
