South African Dreamers.

Tor the building of railroads, tele-

They did not regard it simply as a
place TO make money in, get away

Africa, worked for it while alive and
remembered it in their wills. They
believed themselves to be not merely
extractors of millions from African
soil, but raise and sustain in their
successors belief in and a willing
ness TO work for the Africa of the fu'
ture. The South African millionaires
have come in for a considerable
amount Of criticism, ridicule and
abuse, some of which, it must be con-
fessed, was not wholly undeserved.
But, says the New York Press, to be-

ENEMIES TO THE TARIFF
Free Trade Would Please Men Who
Have Patent Monopolies.

This clipping from Tom Watson s
Gree trade) Magazine is going the
rounds of tariff-ripping papers:
Tom Watson's Magazine claims to
have some interesting figures from
Buenos Aires, as follows:
The Advance pillow, which sells in
this country for SIS, is sold in Buenos
Aires for 50.
The hay tedder, which costs you
$40, is sold in Buenos Aires at $50.
The mower costs YOU $65; it costs
the South American farmer $40.
You pay $25 for a horse rake.
downtrodden South Americans pay
$17.
The feed cutter No. 8, for which
we pay $50, goes to the poor foreigner
at $50.
The Ann Arbor cutter demands $40
of us; it is satisfied with $2S in B1e-
nos Aires.
The cultivator which is priced to
you at $50 is sold to the South Amer
lean for S22.
These are not the products of the
'pauper labor of Europe but of the
factories Of America, which are glad
to get the prices that they have to
take when they get out from under
the protection of a too high tariff"
Practically all the machines named
In this list are controlled by trusts
which. like the Standard Oil trust.
the ice trust, the anthracite trust and
many others, are in no way assisted
by the tariff. The various farm i'm
plement trusts get all their protection
from the patents and patented pro-
cesses of manufacture. They hate the
tariff, and would like to see it cut
down by revision or by reciprocity
agreements which would give them a
still better chance to sell to foreign
ers at cut prices.

SERMOuETTE.

This experience of the chill
> dren of Israel in the wilder
ness prefigures the experience
> which often comes to the Chris
!. tan. At Gods call he has de-
, parted from Egypt, even as Is
rael left Egypt, but somewhere
; on the journey the memory of
the indulgences of the past, the
allurements of the world, draw
the soul away from God, and II
; falls to LISTING for the old life
. and the old indulgences. But
; as Paul says In Cor. 1876, in re-
ferring to the incident: "Now
; these things were our example
, to the intent we should not lust
: after evil things, as they (the
; children of Israeli also lusted."
The Christian must also rec
; ognize the fact that that which
the flesh desires is often un-
: wholesome for the soul. "For
the flesh lusteth against the
; Spirit and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary
, the one to the other: so that
ye cannot do the things that ye
; would."-GaI. SLY.
But how often does the
!. Christian fall into the snare of
the devil, how often does he per-
NIT the love of the world and
the things of the world to draw
, him away from Goo. He falls
to Iusting for the feshpots of
; Egypt, and turns from Gods
I. mamma, SO graciousIy provided.
And then perhaps the heart is
so set upon its way of evil that
at last God gives the soul up
TO its passions and lust, even
as when ''lsrael Iusted exceed
insly in the wilderness and
; tempted God in the desert, he
gave them their request; but
; sent Iesnness into their SOULS"
Sad indeed is the condition
; of that soul which barters
Gods mamma for the flesh pots
of the world.

He who feeds the lust of the
: flesh starves the soul.
The only way some souls will
; learn the folly of sin is by
reaping its dire consequences.
Unbridled indulgence of an
appetite will result disastrousIy.
Hunger was not the incen-
tive to murmuring and discon-
tent, for Israel had Gods
: mama, given fresh every day,
but il was the result of yield
ing to the fleshIy desires. And
1t is so with the Christian, for
love of the world and the thinqs
of the world does not come be-
cause God cannot satisfy, but
because the Christian will not
sit at Gods table and satisfy
his soul whh the good thinas
he has provided. 20 taste and
see that the Lord is good"
God knows best the needs of
, man, and his mama, like his
mercies, are fresh every day.

There are twelve men in Gila county who must hold themselves in con- tempt. They are the members of the jury who perjured themselves to re lease a man on trial for murder. The only relieving incident of the situation was the vigorous roast administered by Judge Nave. These instances of perjury by juries are not nearly so infrequent as many think. A large number of verdicts can be accounted for only upon one of two theories either that the jurymcn deliberately disregard the oath administered them on taking their seats or that they are of such a low order of mentality as to be unable to comprehend the evidence and the instructions of the court There ought to be some way of holding a per jured juryman 10 account the same as in the case of any other perjurer.
