not to be necessary. My church has
uttered no uncertain sound on this
question. The whole church must not
be charged with the shortcomings of
some members of it. The great rank

are right on this question. Some SUBJ
jects are SO big that we must leave
men to go around and around them.
We can trust God and the common
sense of the American people. be-
lieve in the ultimate triumph of these
principles
In the course of his address the
Bishop read at length from the Disci-
pine of 1892 and 1896, including those
paragraphs which declare that "the
only proper attitude of the church is
one of relentless hostility to the sa-
loon" and the saloon can never be
legalized without sin. He denounced
the canteen. The convention rendered
him vote of thanks.

The Los Angeles Express says that
the question of I6 TO is now dead
issue, because Congress has passed a
law putting the nation On a gold
standard.
Or the same line of argument it
might have b. en- concluded years ago
that the bred Scott decision of the
Supreme Court, which gave 1.-The de-
cision to the North and the negro to
the South, forever put an end to the
dawn of human liberty.
The mere fact that Congress has
passed such an infamous measure as
this Gold Standard bill will but make
the people more determined to right
the wrong thus done
Thd bred Scott decision did not for
ever inlplant slavery in this country,
and the Gold Standard measure will
not perpetually dedicate the interests
of this nation to the tender mercies of
the Gold Ring Bee.

located at the extreme Of the point known
as the Island. in Southwest Washing

The fire was at its height when at
tackled by the department 4 brilliant
glare was plainly visible throughout the
city. II WAS with difficulty that head

the flames. and sent up a dense smoke,
which impeded the work of the firemen.

building until about midnight. William
