"Chief," says: eve wont keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs, and Colds Elk
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our

sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR LOCAL
UNION,

This body of enthusiastic Christian
workers met on last Saturday in its
spring meeting in the prettily laid out
town of Falls Church. The meeting
was held in the Baptist church. The ses-
sion began at nine q. N. with praise
service and was conducted by Miss
Edith O. Merrifeld and the singing

tlon for the duties of the day. Miss
Ida Quick presided at the organ. De-
votonal services were conducted by
Sir. Ben Shreve, Of Sterling Society.
a short address, II PROMISE" was
made by R-v ]. w. Kincheloe, of the
Baptist Church. This young minister
is an earnest and effective speaker and
his theme was Gle arly and well defined.
After singing several selections Prof.
Love then introduced Rev. F. 7. Ben
son, of Alexandria, who spoke upon
the topic, Spiritual strength" which
was most profitable as we'll as interest.
,ug and had the closest attention.
The Union was then formally
opened by Miss Mary Penn, vice presi.

read the minutes of the previous meet
ing held in Alexandria.

viz, Andrew Chapel, Arrow Chapel,
Arlington, Beulah, Ballston, Falls
Church, Greenwood, Herndon, Lin

1t was decided that all new societies
with their delegates be admitted into
the Union, viz, Greenville, IBsllstop
Presbyterian and Methodist Protestan' i,
Browns Chapel, Lewinsville aid
Uranesville.
There was fair attendance OF dele
gates from the different societies judg-
ing from the number present.
The reports of the delegates from the
different societies were Their listened to
and was a most gratifying one, showing
steady and gradual increase in mem
bership.
Some discussion was had in regard to
admitting the Juniors as members Of
the union and was participated in
by several. By unanimous vote they
were admitted.
The selection and time of place of
next meeting was next in order. An
invitation for the union to meet at
Vienna was accepted, the date of same
TO be determined later on. A vote of
thanks was also returned to the Hern-
don society for an invitation from them.
Another intermission until p. NJ.

amply provided by the ladies OF the

A pleasing service was some special
music by the society of Herndon in a
quartette of voices, after which Mr.. M.
II. Shand, of Washington, and from the
Calvary Baptist Church, was intro

took as his theme, "The ultimate end of

A beautiful conservation service was
next conducted by the Herndon society,
which was lead by Miss Minnie Brady,
every endeavorer taking part in the
same.
Two minute talks on committee work

EX-SENATOR DUBOIS.

No one can quarrel with ex-senator
insist on their rights" It is not an
easy matter to determine what rights"
are. We talk glibly enough about
them, but no two men agree ON what
they are. The philosophers have a
standing quarrel on inherent rights"
and rights by unwritten agreement"
II the Senator would explain what
rights are, he might aid the natives.
The Senator comes from people (our
own race that has done some marvel
Gus gymnastics in the matter Of In
dian rights
The Senator, if he will kindly take
the time to study the situation, will
discover here, the one remarkable case
in modern history, when the dominant
idea of the white men who constructed
the Government, framed the laws,
brought the people, within a few
years, out of feudalism, and secured
for their Government recognition by
the great civilized nations was, to
create a purely Hawaiian nation in
spirit and in fact. The failure is not
the crime, but the misfortune of the
native.
Seventy years ago, the white man,
the missionary, came, and he found the
native padding a small, primitive
frail political canoe. The white man,
gradually changed it's structure and
put masts and sails into it. But he
insisted on keeping the native COM
mander and crew, and he, the white
man, acted only as pilot. Then, as the
Progress of the world demanded it, he
gradually reconstructed this sailing
vessel into a steamer, but he kept the
most sincere loyalty. He conceded to
them the fright" to be commander and
crew. Then navigation over the poll
teal seas began to be perilous. The
native commander and crew could
easily manage simple canoe, but they
knew nothing about steamers, and the
intricate science of mechanics They
could not build engines or boilers.
They would not, as other people
do, study and master the art of con-
structing political ships. Nor would
they study the art of navigation. They
ran the steamer on shoals, and the en-
gines began to wheeze and the cylinder
heads blew out, and the boilers began
to leak. So the whites who had con-
structed the vessel, and owned shares
in her, and many others who had
bought shares in her and paid cash to
the natives for them, got together and
said: "These natives did we'll with a
canoe. They cannot build or navigate
or even keep in repair modern steam
er, and we must take charge of her, be-
cause we own in her, and we have
rights that must be protected So
they took possession, put away the ma
tive commander and kept the native
crew. The rights of the parties, un-
der these circumstances, we should like
to have the ex-senator define.

fOrsee that in a short time, the Rocky
Mountain States will in turn, become
as they become thickly
populated, and acquire large wealth.
1t is evident that the submission of
the annexation treaty to the Senate at
the special session is evolving some
curious theories of government. All
We ask for is, that after annexation,
we shall not be made an experimental
station in politics. The provision of
the treaty that places the framing Of
suitable laws for the rule of the added
territory in the hands Of five commits
sioners is most admirable and for
which we may credit Mr.. John w. Fos-
INV,
