count of the break it makes in the
monotony of their daily lives and for no
other reason whatever.
The second parag raph I should like
to correct is the one dealing with the
relations of the two ladies who We're
on the island. One of these ladies in
particular has a great many friends in
Honolulu and I think the least that
can be done in justice to her is to con-
tradict entirely the statements Ir1ada
by the writer of the article. No such

Cured The two ladies We're on the
best of terms during the whole of their
residence on the island. I know this
to be so, as I was living on Midway
at that time. Any man who would
write up and publish such a made-up
story about ladies isolated on an is
land like Midway deserves to be
brought to account. Whoever this

been within half a dozen miles of Mid

themselves would be different.

This article from beginning to end

to correct this impression, with regard
to at least two of the paragraphs.
The first is the description of what

THE BONDS CARRIED.

A. will be seen by the vote in the
city election held yesterday the propo-
sition to bond the city to the extent
of $4,000 for the purpose of putting
in the gravity water system was car
ried by a majority of 1871, there being
d majority ior the bonds in all three
wards.
The election passed off quietly and
very little interest was taken in the
result. Those who opposed the bond
issue were seemingly content in reg
steering their votes against it,
Now that a majority of the taxpay-
ing voters Of the city have declared
in favor Of bonding, all will sincerely
hope that the developments of the flu
tWe will fully sustain their judgment.
The Argus has invited public discus
sion Of the question in order that the
arguments for and against it might be
come familiar 10 the voters who We're
to settle the matter. They have de-
1lared in favor of bonding and now let

There is no political significance in
the result, Republicans as well as
Democrats We're ardent supporters Of
the gravity system, many Of them hold
iug that it would have to come even
tuaIla ana that nothing would be gain
eu by delay.

Everyone will trust that the system
can be inaugurated safely within the
amount named and no obstacle should
be thrown in the way of its accom-
rishment.

RESULT ON ALDERMEN.

Viewed from a political standpoint
Inc Republicans made the best show
ing in the aldermanic contests, 50 far
as the total vote shows in the two
wards making party nominations In
hte First ward both parties placed good
men in nomination, and although the
ward is strongly Republican Mr..
Leach. the Democratic candidate, won
by ten votes. 1t is evident number
Of Republicans voted for the latter for
reasons best known to themselves.
In the Second ward Ira WILDER. Re
publican, defeated his opponent, A.
Mansell two to one. the voting being
IS to 81. Mr.. WILDER made a splen-
did run.
In the Third ward the Republicans
did not name anyone to take the place
of Mr.. Wentworth on the ticket, but
heapHly supported Mr. Lane, the Dem
ocratic candidate, who was opposed by
Steve Anderson, Independent.
The men elected to the council are
all good citizens and will doubtless be
found on hand at each session doing
their full duty as they see it. In their
efforts they should have the undivided
support of all interested in the city's
welfare.

It becomes law and the prospects
are good, it will remove a very serious
objection to the creation of extensive
forest reserves. The withdrawal of
public lands from entry for the pur-
pose of forming forest reserves has
been a check to settlement in some
counties in this state owing to the i'm
mense areas of fine agricultural lands
embraced in the reserves. This is es-
pecially true of the counties of Flat

has always been strong on pretense

Republicans have gone ahead and en-
acted a sane and effective law for the

marks the turning point in womana
history. Hitherto, as, in heather coun.

he was not born a Gentle, a slave, or a
woman. But when the fullness of the
time came, and God sent forth his Son
to be born of woman, as we'll as I'M
der the law, then was woman herself
emancipated, and restored to her para
disaical equality with men. Henceforth,
at least in the realm of the spiritual
life, there was to be neither Jew nor
Greek, neither bond nor free, neither
male or female; for all are one in Christ
Jesus. 1t has been so ever since;
wherever Jesus Christ has been best
known, there woman has been most
honored. Woman owes everything to

THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL
SON AND THE ATONEMENT.

A mastery sermon by DR.. Dale, ap-
pears in his 'The Epistle of James, and
Other Discourses," Number XII The
title of the sermon is, "The Parable
of the Prodigal and the Doctrine of the
Atonement."
1t is frankly admitted by the great
preacher that there is nothing about
the Atonement in the parable" but, as
Dale points out neither is there any
thing as to the father taking any
trouble to bring his wandering son to
better mood, nor is there anything to
suggest that any entreaty was ever
sent to induce him to return. Yet the
parable would surely have contained
both these elements, had our Lord in
tended it to cover all Gods dealings
with man in the way of redemption.
The reason why we do not find them,
and why we do not find any teaching
as to the Atonement, is that the par
able is not an epitome of the Gospel
of Christ, but was spoken at a special
time for a special purpose; and cit IS
a very amazing assumption that in
single parable the Lord Jesus must be
supposed to state the whole contents
of the Christian Gospel"

FOREIGN ARMAMENTS.

From the publication of the appropria-
lions made for the armies of Great Bril-
tian, France, Germany and Italy, it ap-
pears that France and Germany for the
year 1867 have appropriated about the
same sum for their respective army estab-
lishments. Frances appropriation is
$156,614,3S0. Germany approaches this
amount, with $156,60S,043. Germany,
however, appropriated $1,631, 593 for for
tif1cations, in comparison with $1,15S,-
600 which France will apply to this form
of national defense. Great Britain will
spend for the year S144,987,336 for army
maintenance. This includes Sill ,435, $50
for forts, an amount which makes the
German and French appropriations for
this purpose seem diminutive The
United States has appropriated for the
fiscal year $7,S17,165 for the army and
$5,O53,998 for Notifications. Italy will
spend $55,107,650 for the army and moth
ing for new Notifications.

A NATIONS NEED.

We have been long hoping that the
business world would awake to the real
ization that what it needs most of all is
a liberal infusion, into business life, of
true religion as its dominating princi-
pie. From an unexpected quarter this
need is expressed in vigorous terms. Says
the Wall Street Journal:
what America needs more than rail
way extension, and western irrigation,
and low tariff, and bigger wheat crop,
and a merchant marine and a new navy,
is revival of piety, the kind mother and
father used to have-piety that counted
it good business to stop for daily family
prayer before breakfast, right in the mid
die of harvest; that quit field-work
half-hour early Thursday night, so as to
get the chores done and go to prayer
meeting; that borrowed money to pay
the preachers salary and prayed fer
vently in secret for the salvation of the
rich man who looked with scorn on such
unbusinesslike behavior. That's what
we need now to clean this country of the
filth of graft and of greed, petty and big;
of worship of fine houses and big lands
and high Office and grand social func-
lions. What is this thing we are wor-
shipping but a vain repetition of what
decayed nations fell down and worship
ped just before their light went out?
Great wealth never made a nation
substantial nor honorable. There Is
nothing on earth that looks good that is
so dangerous for man or a nation to
handle as quick, easy, big money If
you do resist its deadly influence, the
chances are that it will get your son. 1t
takes greater and finer heroism to dare
to be poor in America than to charge on
earthworks in Manchuria'
