Christian Endeavorers bnilded better
than they knew when San Francisco
was selected as the place for convention.
The press OF that city will be compelled
to c.owd out its daily grist OF filth from
the divorce court and police register and
give long-suffsriug California better
class OF reading. 1t will be relief to
the native sons and daughters and may
SOW the seeds for most necessary
reformation OF editorial ideas at the
Golden Observation-Disclosures.
The startling news comes that in Ven

strange fruit. 1t is, in short, a perfect

wings and flies away. A specimen has
recently been brought to this country
fur deposit in the Smithsonian Institute.

Don't be afraid to do your duty be-
cause someone ridicules or opposes you.
A man who has opinions of his own and
the courage to advocate them viii be
sure to have opposition in THE world,
because he runs across OF contrary to
other peoples opinions; but just keep
right ahead if your cause is right and
your conscience is clear. Don't bother
yourself about what people say; life is
too short for that. Some viii abuse you
through envy, others for the want II
principle, and some because they hon
estly differ from you; but ii YOU keep
right on openly, manfully and intelli-
gently and with proper dignity and
character, honesty OF purpose and
self-respect, those who differ from you
will respect your opinions.-Ex.
Special Ambassador Whitelaw Reid is
in his element among the nobility OF
England. He is worthy representative
Of the Hanna administration, but is not
true representative OF the American
people. Reid's treatment OF Horace
Greedy branded him an migrate and
broke the heart OF that noble old man,
who took Reid from out the narrow
limits Of poverty and gave him every
opportunity and advantage that wealth
could afford to make man of himself.
Years afterwards Reid wageJ bitter
warfare upon those who earned their
living by the sweat OF their brow and
since then lie has stood as the spokes
man for American snobbishness. Reid
has achieved both fame and fortune in
the latter years OF his life, but it was at
the expense of what most men held
dearer than either.-Spokane Chronicle

east that Carter aud Shoup were abont
to bolt the republican party and join
the silver republicans. We do not know
much about Tom Carter but we are
quite certain that Shoup will not give
up his job as Loss Of the pic counter.

bluff and Shoup is standing in. Shoup
seems to have made it stick, for lie has
Ragged three good appointments since
the bluff is alleged to have been made.
But Tom Carter will he in the silver re-
publicans' ranks before McKinley's term
expires. lie knows gold bug is dead
duck in Montana. After Tom has
bagged all the federal appointments
there are in sight, he will shed his yell
low plumsge in time to save Tom. But
not so With sloup- salt peter can't
save him. lie will die at the pie eoun-
ter.-Kootenai Herald.
