undergoing the terrific suferings starvation
and disease; and the authorities are of the

deal with the calamity. High prices are

given the peasants to till the ground. 1t is
unnecessary to quote the details resulting
from the famine. A Russian of authority

7hE PUBLIC SPIRIT.

In years gone by every newspaper
in the union told the story of Colo
radios wonderful enterprise. When
the lamented Tabor put hundreds of
thousands in an opera house, that was
an evidence of public spirit. When
the late Governor Evans invested
thousands and even millions in the
building of railroads to penetrate the
nAountain ranges. or bind the North
and South with commercial bands,
that was public spirit. When the
Equitable building, the Boston build
ing, the Ernest & Cranmer building,
the Cooper and other blocks were
built as monuments to the enterprise
Of citizens of those days, that was
public spirit.
Recently the city of st. Louis
started to raise $5,0OO,OO0 for the
Louisiana exposition. She succeed
ed in few days. Kansas City raised
$4O0, 900 for an auditorium and a few
days after it was completed raised
another $4,000 for the purpose of
establishing free baths. That is pub
lie spirit. Omaha raised money to
conduct one of the most successful
expositions ever held west of the
Aise;ssippi river. That was public
spirit. Denver Times.
In many ways our Canon City peo-
pie have shown, according to their
means, as genuine evidences Of en-
terprise as above, but in no way so
general as is shown by the present
popular subscription to secure the
Cahon City Marble company's works.
We expect next week, as soon as
full subscription to stock is secured,
to give full list of the public spirited
citizens who are joining hands to, Sc
cure this important industry.

s. H. Atwater, president Of the
Colorado Sunday School Association,
made an interesting address on Sun
day school work at the Central Pres
byterian church at $50 yssterdsy af-
ternoon. Mr.. Atwatsr Is not . min
lister, but : business man. nursery
man at Canon City. Colo. but he is
an earnest Sunday school worker and
. man with original ideas. He is on
his way to the triennial international
Sunday School convention 1t Atlanta,

is booked for areply on the part Of
all the country from the Missouri to
the Pacific to the address Of welcome
to be delivered to the convention by
the governor Of Georgia.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was conducted by E. L. Browne and
opened with a song and praise ser
vice, led by A. B. Cotton. After
other preliminary exercises Mr.. At
water talked upon Sunday school
work. He showed the magnitude Of
the work by citing the fact that
there are $4,000. 900 in the Sunday
schools of the United States and 25,-
600, 600 in the entire world, great
showing when it is remembered that
the first Sunday school in the world
was organized in Gloucester, England,
in 1850. and the first in the United
States in Virginia in 1876. The i'm
portance of the Sunday school to the
church is shown by the fact that
statistics prove that nine-tenths of
the church members come through
the Sunday school. The importance
of Sunday school work ON christianity
in general is demonstrated when it is
remembered that one out Of FIVE Of
the population Of the United States
is q Christian, while in that portion
of the country where Sunday schools
are few the proportion is much less.
In California the proportion is one to
every twenty, in Utah one to 224.
and in Arizona one to 685.
Mr.. Atwater gave recipe for the
making Of good Sunday school
teacher. He said out in Colorado it
is necessary to boil eggs much longer
than in lower altitude; that many
cooking recipes could not be followed
there because of the lower tampera-
ture at which water boils. But his
recipe for . good Sunday school
teacher would work in any climate or.

The first mail advices of the ex-
citing scenes of battle at Manila,
in the course Of which Major
McConville fell, reached the friends
of the soldier boys this week. The
noble courage of our hero, Major
McConville, is enhanced by every
portrayal of the events of the &C.
casion. And not much more
hero was the gallant major than
were other Lewiston boys. Louis
Roos and f. Martinson, by virtue
of their official positions, became
very conspicuous, and no veteran
on the field displayed more courage
than they. These volunteer off i.
GERS supported Major McConville
when and where he fell, exposed to
the same sharpshpooters. Where,
when and by whom was more no.
bic courage displayed than by these
young officers? In extolling these
more conspicuous heroes we do not
lose sight of the fact that that all
the Lewiston boys performed ev-
cry soldierly duty at hand, and
among our heroes we do not honor
all officer more than a private.
They are all Lewiston S heroes and
we are proud of them all. We
hope that they may all return soon
that we may demonstrate to them
that we honor them for their deeds
of valor and their patriotism.

A great many leading republi-
can journals are antagonizlng Mr..
Reed in relation to the speaker
ship of the next congress. By his
personal influence and the use
of his official position he has de-
feated the Nicaraguan canal and
the Pacific cable, both of which
are demanded by all the republi-
caus, at least outside of New Eng-
land. Mr.. Reed, like many other
great men, has grown to feel that
he is big enough to say he will do
as he please and the party must
follow. Many of the unsuccessful
statesmen lost great opportunities
by the inception of this fantasy
before they had reached the heights
they might have attained by con-
tinuing to help build up and hold
the party together, rather than to
assume independence of the party
that made them great.

rebelled and how we took his scalp,
his pony and his land. Then how,
when we had punished him, we
sang the doxology and sent mis-
sionaries to Christianize what re-
NAMED of him. Then when we
landed at Plymouth Rock, first we
dropped on our knees, and second
we dropped on the aborigines. If
Aguinaldo is wise and will be
peaceable Uncle Sam will come
over and spend the evening with
him and bring his knitting along.
If he will work and not fight,
serve and not shirk, Unc'e Sam
will put him on his feet, strength
ell his knees, lift up his chin, open
his eyes, give him a home, flag,
a faith, a God and a country. II
he rebels, Uncle Sam will give him
what Sherman said war was and
what Dewey gave his oppressors.
