PASTORS HOPE COMES TRUE.
Rich Gold Strike Means Building OF Church
Seen In a Dream


A rich vein of gold ore has been cut
by the Goodwill Temple Gold Mining
and Milling Company in the Cripple
Greek district. This means that Good
will Temple. the largest church ever pro-
jected, will be built in the near future
in Chicago. This is the realization of
the aim of Rev. ]. S. Bitler's life and is
considered by him the direct answer to
ten years of praying. Mr.. Bitter, who
lives in Chicago, has been conducting re-
vival meetings at the First Methodist
Episcopal Church in st. Joseph. Mo.
About ten years ago Rev. Mr.. Bitter saw
in vision n mighty church i'll large
city built for the masses. Since that
time ii has been the object Of his life to
build that temple. He discovered no
means. however, with which to build the
structure until year ago last August.
when he met A. ]. Wharton, rich mine
owner of Colorado. To him Rev. Mr..
Bitter unfolded his plan. which met with
such favor in the eyes of the mine owner
that he decided to give his aid TO the
work. He presented Mr.. Bitter with 100
shares of mining land. and telegram
now announces a $1,OO0.O0 strike on the

BLANCHE X. sRucE.s TACT.

How He Exercised 1t to Avert Trouble
ON q Mississippi Steamboat.
On one Of Blanche X. Bruce's visits
to New York he told Of an experience
which he had Just after he was elected
Senator from Mississippi, and it was
an experience which illustrates the tact
and good sense which always charac-
terized him, and which explained much
Of the success and respect which he
gained by his public life in Washing
ton. 1t was announced that the Sena-
tor would go to Washington from his
Mississippi home by one of the Missis-
sippi steamboats,, at least as far as st.
Louis on his way. The captain, man
Of the name Of Leathers. was a typical
Mississippi steamboat captain. and he
was reported to have said that he would
show the black Senator when he got
aboard Of his boat that he would have
to keep his place IN that boat, and If
he put on any airs because he hap
pened to be Senator the captain would
teach him manners.
As soon as Bruce boarded the steam
boat he sought the captain and said to
him: Captain Leathers. am going to
Washington, and a part Of the way as
passenger on your steamboa. My
name Is Bruce, and possibly you may
have heard Of me. What wanted to
say is that know perfectly well what
the feeling of many people who are
travellers regarding persons Of my color
IS They cannot help it. and l cannot
help II, and am going to give them no
occasion for any annoyance while I
am a passenger on your boat. l SIM
ply ask you that you see to it that I
am made as comfortable as possible,
and assure you that you will have no
reason for complaint"
The bluff captain stepped back pace
or two. looked Bruce over, ard then
held out his hand and said with great
by -, you shall sit at
my table; you shall sit on my right
hand on the entire trip. and il any man
objects he will have to fight me. A
man who can talk as you have and who
Is as fair as you are Is - sight
better fitted to be a United States Sem
ator than some Of the white Senators
I have carried on this boat" and on
that entire trip Of three days the cap
tain made Bruce his guest.-Philadel-

A Dangerous Innovation.

In the eighth section Of the first arti-

evident that the intent of the trainers
Of the Constitution was to put curb
On militarism by clothing Congress
with authority to establish the army
and by imposing limit upon Congress

these powers to the President is most

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President McKinley's message, OF
course. gives the people what they
voted for. But nobody reading 1t
would imagine that it was the expires
sion of the head of democratic gov
erlment There is not one line In IT,
for instance, expressive Of dissatisfac
ton with the condition of the masses
of the people. The man of thousand
years hence reading it would suppose
that everybody here was happy, ana
that the President had only to Suggest
a few little things to make our social
condition complete.
The first thing mentioned in the
message is prosperity. The last word
of the message is peace. Mr.. Mckin-
ley asks for 100000 soldiers. He says
that 10000 men must be kept in the
Philippines for an indefinite period.
He tells us that last year we were
taxed seventy-nine millions in excess
of Government expenditures. He rec
Ommends that taxes be now reduced
thirty millions, indicating his purpose
last year, or at least to have the money
handy.
He devOtes n passage to warning us
sOlemnly against national extrava-
gance. He demands the passage OF the
ship subsidy bill, which will pay as
bonus to one steamship company alone
that owned by the Standard Oil Trust
more than two millions annually Of
Government money. He has negotiated
a treaty giving Spain an extra hundred
thousand dollars for small islands that
we forgot to take before.
Mr.. Mckinley asks for further legis-
latiOn-if any can be devised-tO put
us more thoroughly on a gold basis.
He says not one word to contradict
Hanna's statement: There are no
trusts" In a feeble, perfunctory way,
like bad boy saying his prayers. he
remarks that combinations, if injuri-
GUS" might be restrained"
The Filipinos are to be made good
The savage tribes are to be treated by
Mr.. Mckinley benevOlently and in pa
ternal fashion, as we have treated our
Indians. Mr.. Mckinley asks for a
cable to Manila via Hawaii. But he
says no word of Government owner
ship of that cable. He praises the
work of the postoffice. but says moth
ing about parcels post system, which
would delight the people, and help
every business man. He says nothing
of n system of postal savings banks,
whichwould give security to the depOs-
its of the poor. give to the masses of
the people the money now paid to a
few Government bond owners-and in
terfere with the plans of a few bank
ers.
1t is not a bad message. 1t provides
for the views and needs Of the we'll
to-do. You are living under a govern
ment. not exactly a republic, since its
main concern is the welfare of the
few. 1t is sort of cross between
a monarchy and a financial oligarchy.
1t is just as much republic as Eng
land is an autocracy-England is not
an autocracy. But you voted for this
sort of government, fellow citizens
