WASHINGTON

Last Sabbath morning dawned clear
and bright; o fitting day was it, with
its wealth of bud and bloom, to cele
brate the risen Christ. We worshipped
for the first time in our beautiful new
church. and as the deep, cathedral
like tones of our church bell, leo kindly
and %graciously bestowed by Mr.. Dick
inson. of Knoxville,) sounded on the
still morning air, its call to worship
was heard and answered by many
grateful, happy hearts. As the people
of Salem Church filed in and were
seated, a deep hush fell on the congre-
cation for a moment, and doubtless
many prayers went up to the Father,
which were fraught with tbankfulness
and love. The Easter decorations
were beautiful, and thanks are returned
to the committee of arrangement. con-
sisting of Misses Florence Peck, Kate
Cecil, Laura Waddell and Louise Loeb,
Messrs. j. Cassada, w. Smith, R..

sunlight streamed in through the
stained glass shedding a soft beauty
over the wealth of bloom so artistically
arranged, n could but pray and be.
lieve that the future of Salem Church
will be even greater than the past.
Rev. j. Moore, of Greeneville and Tus
culum College, filed our pulpit and
gave us an able sermon on Faith. "
1t was an appropriate subject for the
first sermon In our new church; for
with God as our guide and faith in His
name, our church will go on ''con-
quering and still to conquer" The
choir gave us an Easter anthem, HE
is Risen" and Miss Powell favored US

and returned the same day. We do
not like the idea of giving Miss Kate
up for the Kentucky Home, "for some

Civil Service Reform.

In issuing an order to the effect that
no removal from any position subject to
competitive examination within the classi-
fed civil service shall be made except for
just cause and upon written charges filed
with the head Of the department or other
appointing officer, of which charge the
accused must have full notice with an op-
portnnity to make defense, President Nc
kinley has corrected the very evil which
has heretofore tended to make hypocfit-
ical the entire civil service system. The
previous absence or virtual neglect of
such rule has so facilitated evasons of
the spirit of civil service reform as to
bring the whole thing into more or less
contempt. A strict enforcement of the
new order will not only lift from the
shoulders of Federal officials in response
BILE positions a load of pressure hitherto
brought to bear by clamorers for office,
thus giving them added time to devote
to their more important duties, but it will
also establish merit and merit alone as
the determining factor in the equation of
public service, and insure that public
money paid in the form of salaries to en-
ployes in that service shall go to compen-
safe actual and efficient work. The Amer
ican people are ready to subscribe most
heartily to genuine civil service reform.

Another Gold Plot

Another horrible plot of the gold powers
of England has come to light. Their sta
tistician, NJ. G. Mulhall, has invaded this
country, and has recently written mag
azine article in which he shows that the
Prairie States, which were the sole hone
of the silver trust in it's efforts to capture
the Government last year, have been not
only the most prosperous part of the Unit
ed States, but far more prosperous than
any other spot on the world. Mr. Null
halls article, it is said, ''reads like tale
from the Arabian Nights" 1t shows in
the twelve States upon which the silver
managers relied last year-Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa. Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and
the Dakotas-an increase in farm area av-
eraging l,3OO acres per day, a grain pro-
duction twice as great as that of France,
Germany and Austria, collectively; a
meat production twice as great as that Of
France, an eight-fold increase of grain
production since 1850, and general food
production equal to five times as much for
each person as in the most advanced sec
tions Of Europe. 1t can scarcely be ex-
pected that people residing in section so
much more prosperous than that of any
other part of the world are going to resort
to deprecated currency with which to
pay debts, or attempt to deceive them
selves by increasing the number of their
dollars and at the same time making an
equal decrease in their value

Let the Farmer Think.

The farmers of the country should give
their attention closely to a few contrasts.
The free traders made great row over
the sugar bounty and the tin-plate duty.
Their contention was the sheer impossi-
bility that we should produce our own
sugar and tin. Already every farmer in
America knows that we shall soon pro-
duce all the sugar we consume and save
IL hundred millions year for the tillers
of our soil, and that we are also deep in
the tin plate manufacturing business, and
that long before this presidential term is
out we shall produce in our shops all the
tin plate we want, and there are from
twenty to twenty-five millions year for
American workingmen to earn and dis
tribute. Now, these are the things that
give boom to prosperity. Contrast this
with the vulgar Justification that low sill
yer made wheat low, and all that rotten
ness of the Democratic imagination.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1897-09-10
Political Pointers.

The gold Democrats are making large
accessions to their ranks everywhere and
expect to poll much larger vote this
year than last.
The Populists of the country are thor
oughly disgusted with the treatment
which the Democracy have given them,
and are developing the greatest hostility
to further attempts at fusion.
The director of the United States mint,
who is the best authority in this country
on currency matters, predicts that silver
will fall much lower in the next few
months. 1t is already at the lowest point
in it's entire history.
The money in circulation in the United
States has increased about $13O, 100000
in the past year, the price of foreign pro-
ducts has advanced, and the business of
the country has greatly improved despite
the assertions that nothing but the free
coinage of silver would bring an increase
of money or prices to the people of this
country.
The people who attempted to make the
people believe few months ago that Sec
retary Sherman had passed the period of
active usefulness are saying nothing more
on that subject. Secretary Sherman's
expressions of views ON current politica,
topics are clear, crisp and vigorous, and
strike responsive chord in the hearts of
every American citizen.
People who are assuming that the re-
cent great gold developments are a mere
matter of good luck to those opposing the
16 to 1 theory are mistaken. 1t is more
than luck; it is the logic of events. The
fact that the world prefers gold to the
bulky white metal as it's medium of ex-
change has stimulated the production of
gold everywhere until it seems likely to
supply the needs Of the world for money
metal.
