A NEW EARTH.

Rev. Myron Reed of Denver, in a re-
cent sermon on the text from REVEAL
ton, And l saw a new heaven and a
new EARTH" says.
All the prophets and poets have seen
the same thing. Isaiah looked forward
to an utter change in the face of the
earth and Of the hearts of the people Of
the earth. Robert Burns saw new
earth and so did Alfred Tennyson when
he was young. Plato locked away from
the decaying world around him and saw
Atlantis. Sir Thomas Moore, about to
suffer death. was writing Utopia -
There ought to be new earth and what
ought to be will be. No one will assert
that this is the ideal social system-this
one that we are living in. Isaiah would
not be satisfied with it. 1t is a make
shift. We have sent money and SYM
pathy to Ireland. and that was right and
effective. But in 1896 there were more
than $4,000 evictions in New York City.
That means more than 100000 people
turned out of DOORS That is to say. in
one American city the evictions, as COM
pared with Ireland, were more than four
to one.

they raise nothing but schemes, are sur

at that Kansas raises anything so mild

In this connection we submit to the

the Belleville Record:

out, and, at two o'clock in the morning,
forced the others to accept a one
thousand dollar verdict or suffer a dis
agreement. One of these men was a Mr..
Berlandi, of West st. Paul. who, it is
said, does photographic work for the Pho
neer Press; and the other, it is reported,
expects job from the same institution.
But for those two men Mr. Donnelly
would have obtained verdict for $50. 900:
and have owned the paper, and turned it
into free-silver organ!
But even one thousand dollars is large
sum to pay in these hard times;-and to
this must be added Flandrau's fee-not
less than $4,000, besides the costs of the

luxury of calling gentleman a dog.

will be too expensive an entertainment

Hon. John Lind obtained a verdict of

now Mr.. Donnelly gets one for 81 900
against the st. Paul Pioneer Press. They
will gradually realize that the cause of
reform cannot be crushed in that way.

Well, there is certainly all of space into

nation knows the party needs a little

lurking in the back yard of republicanism

needs to get up little higher" but it
needs thorough washing and scrubbing
also, as it's smell can't be anything like

years. 1t must surely get rid of the least
faint of Populism OR its goldbug masters
