So our editor thought the frost had
nipped "Greenhorn," did hep We
have withstood the chilling blasts aud
nirping frosts of twenty nine years
(more or less) and have never been
nipped yet. Judging from past expe-
ricnce we think that we are in no dam
ger, even if our name does suggest
something easily nipped by frost. The
truth is that we were out of news
Like Micawber we were, waiting for
something to turn up"
In response To the editors request
we wish to say that we have neither

FREE SILVER WON'T Down.
Look at the Roll of States in
Which the Democracy Has Re
affirmed the Chicago Plat
form and Stands Upon
Ae.0 % 5Ssa@ Free Silver.
...@ ae - . W. Free Silver.

- s:-e :: :: W. Free Silver.
The Democratic National Committee.
of which Senator James X. Jones, of
Arkansas, is chairman, is controlled bv
the free silverites by a vote of 81 to 13.
Although the Democratic leaders i'm the
State of New York were powerful
enough this year to ignore the Chicago
platform, in their Site convention in
1900. which will be called 10 elect dele
gates ut large to the Democratic Nation
al Convention. they must iDdorse the
Chicago platform of 1896. The Demo
cratic National Committee makes up the
temporary roll of the National Conyen-
tlon, and the committee, controlled as
II is by the free silverites, would refuse
to admit the delegates at large from the
State of New York unless the State
Convention sending them to the Nation
el Convention indorses the Chicago
platform of 1896.
s..A vote for Van Wyck this year, or a
vote for any Democratic candidate for
Congressman will simply strengthen
the free silverites all over the country.
The Democrats Of the State of New
York are trying to hoodwiuk the
voters of the State on this issue.
The following list of Democratic
State conventions that have indorsed
the CT icago platform of 1896 tells what
the real issue is
Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont
Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Virginia.
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala

Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa. Kansas

Washington. New York Sun.
The Kansas City Times saws:
The silver question will be even n
greater issue in 1900 than il was in 1896.
The Democratic party in all the States
has directly or indirectly indorsed the
silver plank of the Chicago platform.
The New York. State ticket is com.
posed of ardent advocates of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. and
the same is true in practically all the
states.
The silver question was not even so
much as scOtched in 1896.
lt is gratifying to the West to see that
the East is Is coming to understand the
necessity for monetary system
that shall include both silver and gold
as; the money Of redemption.
While in some Of the Eastern States
the silver question is not given much
prominence, the people understand that
Democratic victory now means free
silver coming in 900 as the LEADING
issue.

The Initial Sin.


life of the people.
The Initial Sin.
The manifestations of these conditions
of faith are found not at first in the more
heineous vices and abhorrent crimes, but in
Sabbath desecration, which is the initial
sin of a ruined life. The first break in the
dixie of the Divine law which holds back
the floods of immortality and vice is usually
a SeculariZed Sabbath.
Sabbath deSecTation is the beginning of
the end. II is first a careless regard for the
Sabbath, and then follow church desertion,
ctosed Bible and a forgotten God. Sab
bath observance holds the central line of
the forces arrayed against all evil Here is
where Satan often makes his first attack
and where he gains his first victory.
Carefully compiled statistics gathered by
many years of experience by a chaplain
of the Maryland penitentiary show that so
out of every lG0 conVictS testified that the
beginning of their downward course was in
individual is true of the community and of
the nation.
Sabbath observance in obedience to the
scriptural standard kept a sacred day
of rest and Divine worship is the key Of
the citadel Of our nome, church and ma
tional life.
THAT the American Sabbath Union and
the WOmens National Sabbath Alliance,
societies organized for the purpose of en-
listing all Christian men and women in the
work of conserving the American Sabbath
and also TO organize auxiliary societies,
and for the distribution of Sabbath litera-
ture and to use all methods for the quick
ening Of the public conscience and awaken
ing interest for the promotion of the bbli
cal Christian Sabbath, receive our cordial
Endorsement and approval"
The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
DR.. Alexander MackaySmith.
