lyn, N. Y. the Secretary OF the Navy says
the department has no Information on the
subject
Tic law had been observed in the depart
nent SO far as all employees under its
direction and control were concerned, but
the department had never assumed any au-
thority over the action OF contractors or
subcontractors in the matter OF their EN-
ployes. II the act had made the department
responsible for violations OF the eight-hour
law. it would have been necessary to sta
ton inspectors at points where buildings
were being erected, mines where stone and
marble were quarried, mills where lumber
was sa wed, siipyards building government
slips. etc, necessitating an army OF in
spectors and appropriations for their pay.

Yew Park Meetings.

The subject for Saturday evening
was "Christ's Second Coming" intro
duced from the testimony of Jno. IA
I 1-3. Jesus says. "If go and prepare
place for you, l will come again
and receive you unto myself" The
speaker said that many contradictory
views are taught concerning Christ's
coming. Some say he will never come;
some teach that he will come person
ally and Yisibly to all the world, 9TH
ers that it will be spiritual and invis-
ible, and still others, that it will be
a local affair, as TO Jarusalem in Pal
estine. But the only safe way is to
accept what the Bible says, and it
teaches that he will come personally
and visibly, in the brightness of his
glory, and every eye shall see him, auI
all kindreds shall wall because Of him,
He will not descend TO the surface of
the earth; but from his position
in the clouds of heaven he WI
send his angels to gather hls SaiGts
from every part of the WDFij. His
coming will be in the night, and viii
break ubon the world from the cas-,
more vividly than if tie sun Shout,
appear above the horizon in tn,
darkness of midnight. His coming
will depopulate the earth; for Ia.
saints, caught up to meet their LORI
in the air, will ascend with him to
the "many mansions" and the un-
generate will all be destroyed by the
brightness of his glory. The exact
day Of his coming is not revealed; but
numerous signs and evidence are
given in prophecy, by which it may
be known when it is near; and Jesus
teaches emphatically that it is the
duty of mankind to acquaint them
selves with these evidences that they
may know the time approximately,
and be prepared to meet him.

PLAIN TALK TO PoPULIsTS.

EDITOR JOURNAL: What is the
matter with our Populst friends, any.
howY For people who are devoted
exclusively to principle, some OF them
seem TO verge dangerously close on
"otfenslve partisanshlp." When it is
proposed TO them TO enter into a
union with other reform. elements for
purpose OF carrying out some of their
pet theories they inform us that "the
Peoples party is already a union Of
reform elements" and, though they
are heartily in favor Of a union of all
reformers, IL must be on the entire
Populist platform and inside the
Populist organization. That seems
TO be their peculiar idea of a union
attained "honorably and harmoni-
ously." But isn't 1t almost too much
like the harmony prevailing between
the lion and the lamb after the lamb
had adapted itself 10 the internal
economy of ths lion?
And, mind you, this is no kick at
The Populist party or Populist prlnci-
pies; they are all right. But there

too broad and has given offense to

course Of human events that, while
there are boys in the world and even
young men and young ladies, that col

that it Is public wrong and exposing

the taxes accumulated for two years
in the state treasury, and in the mean
time force all employees and business
people TO carry the credit vouchers Of
the state without interest, or suffer
loss OF big discount. This is a double
play In the interest OF the banker and
money-broker.
We do not believe Mitchell can be
made senator. His defeat was de-
served and justified the deadlock OF
the legislative joint convention. He
has exerted a most disruptive in-
fiuence on Oregon politics. lie is
living at Washington and seems to
find employment of the same kind he

The Chap-Book for June Is ridicules
Charles Dudley Warmers Library
OF the best Literature of the World''
as means to enable careless persons
to gabble about books which they
have never read, and as a means to the
dissemination Of "half-baked knowl-
edge in its crudest and most indigest-
ible state; to anything but a love OF
literature. 1t shows that it kills
the real love of literature by supply
ing people with what they suppose to
be library of thirty volumes, when
IL Is only that many books of second
hand extracts and comments about
books instead OF the literary treasures
themselves. The Chap-Book has
told the truth about this much ad-
vertised scheme of comprising the
worlds best literature in thirty vol
uInes. The best literary treasures can
he comprised in about twenty vol
umes, and even less, and the man who
will own them, study them, master
them, has an education that few col
