EDITORIAL REVIEW.

The sermon at the State University
was preached by the rector OF Trinity
Episcopal church Portland from the
following text:
"Work out your own salvation with
fear and trembling, for il is God which
worketh in you, both to will and TO do
Of his own good pleasure. Phil. II,
12, 13.
II was an able effort in the way Of q
religious discourse, concluding with this
paragraph
This conception which implies the
being Of God az the source Of all life, the
motive power for ell seli-develoDment
places God also at the end Of this de-
velopment. When Paul said "Work out
your own salvation for God worketh
in youv he also said that this willing
and doing was Of Gods own pleasure.
II the question is asked "What is the
beginning Of life2" The answer is
God" n IL is again asked "What
is the end Of life, its goal and blessing2'
Again we answer "God." There IL no
other conceivable object Of human de
velopment than 10 grow toward God
until we become more aud more like the
son Of God. "Be ye therefore perfect
even AZ your Father in heaven Il per-
feet" The highest Of life is the will
and pleasure Of God, Of love. with HAP
piness and perfection combined.
The sermon reads almost like Chris
tian Science lecture.

ous growth in the left ear for about three
wears. The growth was cut cut twice ana

as ever, and panied her so badly that
she had to be taken from school. After
three weeks treatment by DR.. D.. F.:

Specialist, the growth entirely disap-
peared and at this date, four months
since treatment was begun, the growth
has not reappeared, and the ear has en-
tirely healed leaving only the scars in
flicted by the Albany doctors.
hereby certify that the above state

cided 20 ask the courts opinion.

In the petition the PLAINTIFF state
that A. d. Spratt died testate In An.

parties to the suit the PLAINTIFF state
that on Feb. 8, 1894, A. ID. Spratt made
his last will, in which he bequeathed
to Mamie =. spratt, his wife, $1,000.
He further provided that his real es-
tate should be sold In tracts Of from
so to 100 acres and that the proceeds

THERE is no question but that O
large majority Of the Democrats In
the United states, regardless OF how
enthusiastic they may be on any other
tenets of the party, are in favor Of
tariff for revenue only. 1t does seem
a. though this principle was being lost
sight Of, and protective tarlif has done
more than anything else to foster
trusts on this country. Along this
line the New York World editorlally
says:
The utter absense Of any reference
TO tariff reform in Mr.. Bryan's speech
es is significant OF the changed condi-
ton OF Democratic leadership.
II there is any principle or policy
that is peculiarly traditional and
Characteristic OF Democracy 1t is that
Of q low tarif-of taxation for rev
enue, not for bounties. TTlden carried
the country on such a platform In
1876. Grover Cleveland was twice
elected on the issue Of tariff reform.
And In none Of these years was the
tariff up to the present worse-than-
war rate OF over 80 per cent.
The injustice and oppression of this
high tariff have been demonstrated
during Mfr. McKinley's term as never
before. Nearly s4OO, 600, 900 worth Of
American manufactures we're sold
abroad during last year in successful
competition with our foreign rivals in
their own markets. In many cases
these goods we're sold cheaper to the
foreigner than to our own people.

Kinley tariff moro monopolistic trusts
and Industrial "comblnes'' were form
cd than in the entire previous quarter
century. A high Republican author
ity has confessed that ''the tariff 10

and fusion platforms contained not q
