THE UNGODLY WORLD DOES NOT WISH
TO BE REFORMED.

Sin hates rebuke, and shame is furious
against condemnation. The power of
God to punish wrong does not win the
heart of the guilty. The righteous in
dignation of the Lord cannot stay the in
evitable conflict between truth and false
hood, ignorance and wisdom, evil and
good. The business of tie world, the
pleasures of the senses, the petty am
billions of men, and the whole Kingdom
of Satan are opposed to the will of God,
and the coming Kingdom of heaven
with it's truth, wisdom and holy love
must be won at the costly price of sac
rifice, sorrow and humble devotion,
through the long, slow growth and
progress of the ages.
The sure success of COTS cause often
begins in seeming defeat. But human
selflshness overreaches itself at last, aud
suffers the penalty of its own folly. Re
pentance must come sooner or later OF
the end Is destruction. There is never
any good reas on for being discouraged
because of the evil that is in the world
We should be ashamed to be overcome
of evil; it is cur duty and our privilege,
the Lord being our helper, to overcome
evil with good. We have no right as
the children of God to be fearful and
unbelieviDg; it is the Fathers good
pleasure to give US the Kingdom.-[O

STAFFORD NEEDS A SEWERAGE SYSTEM
The sooner our people have system
of sewers established for the whole dis
~trict covered by the city water pipes, the
better it will be for the health and con.
venience of the community. The advent
of public water always very rapidly in
creases it's use, and the waste has to be
provided for. Cesspools endanger the
health of the neighborhood, and there Is
no perfect way of disposing of this large
amount of waste liquid, only by suita
BILE system of sewerage. A survey OF
the town should be made and a system
prof 4cted at an early day. Many people
look at this in it's true light, and will
refuse to use the public water until the
waste can be satisfactorily disposed of.
IMPROVEMENTS NEAR THE MAIN STREET
BRIDGE.
The railroad men are putting the
walks under and near the bridge at Main
street, in good shape. The Improvement
in the grade of the street north of the
bridge is about completed and looks to
be good job. The general opinion now
is, that the large amount of water which
has heretofore gathered under the bridge
during a severe rain, has been provided
for, and we shall have no trouble here
after. The roadway certainly looks
much better.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Was duly read yesterday in both houses
of congress and it took some time, for it
is an elaborate document, dwelling at
length upon "the work of putting our
finances upon sound basis" and also
at considerable length on Cuba.
The President proposes no interter-
ence with the efforts of Spain in her
troubles, and refers to the more humane
policy under the change of administra-
tion.
The Presidents gold position on the
currency question will be disappoint-
ment to the thousands of silver Republi
cans all over the country who supported
him last year, thinking he would prove
the same friend Of bimetallism that his
votes in congress and his repeated utter
ances had indicated.
He favors the retirement Of the green
backs, redeeming them in gold, and not
re.issuing as by the law of congress is
now required, unless they are given out
for gold. The law requires that green
backs, like any other money coming
into the treasury, be paid out again TO
meet the needs OF the government. In
this way the volume Of money would not
be diminished, while by the Presidents
plan they would not be SO used. The

The German element in the Austrian
empire has been the ruling power, the
imperial family being German. OF late
years German has been the language of
the government, courts of law, etc, and
this has led to, or helped, to bring on
the present trouble. The Czechs of
Bohemia number 80 to the Germans 20,
by estimate, for the census takes no ac-
count of nationality. Bohemia contains
near 20 thousand square miles, about
half the size of Ohio, has near six mil
lions of people. Prague is the chief
city and contains near three hundred
thousand inhabitants. Bohemia is
bounded on the north by Saxony and
Prussian Silesia, east by Moravia, south
by Austria and west by Bavaria. The
boundaries are pretty clesrly marked by
mountain ranges.

scheme is to retire the greenbacks and
contract the volume Of. money. Paying
them out again for gold would only be
changing places and hence would not
affect the volume at all. A little con-
sideration will enable any one to see
through the trick.
But the President, recommends an ex-
tension of national banking facilities,
by amending the law so that these in
stitutions can issue notes equal in
amount to their bonds and instead of one
per cent tax to only pay one half OF
one per cent. We believe there are peo-
pie in the country who would be glad to
be thus relieved
Then the president recommends that
banks may be started with $25,0OO
worth of bonds, so that small towns
may be accommodated.
OF course the President does not say
this bank paper is not and will not I've
legal tender in payment of debts, while
silver is Ivy the constitution and by
resolution of congress. True, he recon-
mends the bank notes be redeemable in
gold, but this is only thrown in to fool
the people for it is nonsense, for there
is not gold enough and in the event of a
run on the banks they would just sus.
pend, as usual, and virtually tell the
people to go to thunder The big banks
east, in 1898, set the public and law al
defiance. Under the state banks before
the war there was a general suspension
about every FIVE years.
Appealing to common sense and to
those not personally interested in
schemes, let us ask: Why should not
the general government issue the paper
money instead of giving it to banks to
loan out at usurious rates of interest?
The President favors annexing Hawaii
and has something to say upon many
other points.
The message is time.serving affair,
gold plated, altho hope is expressed
that the bimetallist commission may yet
succeed in having gold and silver recog.
nized, etc. 1t is only sop thrown out
and means nothing. The document is
"Gold, gold, hard and cold" The idea
throughout is that all government obi.
cations are to 1e paid in gold, compelled
thereto by the law, all utterly false and
unfounded.
