Secretary of the new Department

will go on rapidly. Among other
bureaus which are to be included
under the new Department are

and Of Standard, Coast and Geo
detic Survey, the immigration
Service, the Shipping Commits
sion, Bureau of Statistics OF the
Treasury Department, Bureau OF
Foreign Commerce of the State
Department, Census Bureau and
Fish Commission. An impor-
tant feature of the new Secre-
tary's work will be in the nature
Of trust regulations. BY the
terms of what is known as the
Nelson amendment authority
and power is given the new
Bureau Of Corporations to re-
quire specified returns from
large corporations, and pro-
vision is made for publicity as

The Trust question seems to
be losing interest in Congress.
The passage Of the Departmental
Commerce bill with the pro
vision for the Bureau of Cor.
porations and the passage of the
bill to expedite trials by the
Government, and also the pas
sage of the appropriation bill
providing additional funds for
government trust prosecution
cases are looked upon as highly
satisfactory trust legislation.
1t is a subject of comment that
the general trust question has
not been debated in the senate.
The democrats have evidently
recognized the inexpediency Of
opposing any of these republican
measures. 1t is stated to be the
program of democratic leaders
to allow the republicans to enact
whatever legislation they want,
secure in the belief that it will
be ineffective and that they will
then be able to attack republican
legislation. The republican
leaders are perfectly satisfied
with such a program, realizing
that perfect trust laws cannot be
framed at the first attempt, but
believing that they will be meas.
urably effective and that they
can be amended as they are
proven to be lacking.

strong, means happiness and true joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright.
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful Sleep Thous-
ands once in a half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Pane's
Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM. S. Gibson, of

Fault finding is great sin of COM
mission, fault finder will talk about
his neighbor, he will say that man or
that woman, as the case may be, is not
right; he has tho bighead or he is
stuck up, or he is hypoc1it; if
that fellow is running the school
meeting, I will have nothing to do
with it, for he will soon run it in
the ground, or if Mr.. B. is at the
school meeting I will not go; there is
no use, for he has tongue as long as
a fence rail; he will carry the thing
his way; | will stay at home; I will
not go to church today the old bro
ther that is to preach today always
did weary me; he breaches SO long,
and is always asking for money. All
such remarks is great sin, and should
be avoided. The gentleman or lady
that is always finding fault, should
examine themselves and see il their
own heart is not faulty. There may
w OliA AGtlobo Ch0U UlO ldult
but it SO we must admit that there
are faulty christians. Look out bros
ther, we may get in close place to
to be christians. We learn from Gods
holy book that we are to love our fell
bowman; we are to love our neigh
bors as ourselves; owe no man any
thing but TO love him. We know
that we are christians by loving the
brethren; that if we are always find
ing fault of our neighbors and ssaying
hard things about the brethren and
the preachers, we are not loving them
very much and probably not enough to
know we are christians. Where there
is fault finding, unity of love is
broken, SO let US consider that every
one of US has his own faults, and that
is bis own business, and God will
hold us all accountable. Let us real
ize that the God Of heaven and earth, is
the great Judge, and the only Judge,
when the great day CT accounts shall
come, and we shall be gathered to-
gether before the Judgment Bar of
God to give an account for the deeds
done in the body, we will not be find
ing faults then, we will be listening
for God to fluid the faults, and he will
find them all. We should overcome
faults with deeds Of kindness.
