REPUBLICAN sFoR REVENUE ONLY.

There is nothing like a change in
the management of IA party to show
what some men are made of. Take,
for instance, some who were forever
patting themselves on the back and
telling everybody what good republi-
cans they were a short time ago, when
they and their friends controlled the
party. There is the Brookings Press,
which, prior to the state convention,
endorsed everything, black and white
if the party leaders gave it the tip,
and in return its editor holds the post
office. To-day it does not run the
party ticket in its columns, and its
editorials are devoted to open opposi-
ton to a part of the republican coun-
ty ticket, and to telling its readers
that when the new state ticket is elect
ed they may expect all kinds of polit-
zeal jobbery. Again, the Press, and
some other papers, are devoting sew
eral columns to the support of other
party tickets under the thin disguise
of advertisement There are also
private individuals, in some instances
men who have been honored by their
party with office for two, four, or six
years, who openly talk against the
election of their party candidates, not
because they have any notion that
the men nominated are not good mer
and competent, but because they
themselves are disappointed in aspira
tons for more or disappointed in losine
the power to dictate. With such
principle was never considered; they
may properly be termed republican:
for revenue only. Talk about a came

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon byRev. III. Preston
The outside world in many ways
comedies the superiority of the Chris
tian religion. The verdict given is
not always direct, it is often uninten-
%tional; yet such concessions have a
value.
A creed may have the sanction
of a mans understanding and con
science, and yet he may refuse to
adopt it. There is the power of pred
iudice, the tyranny of passion, the
want of inclination and the unwilling
ness of men to pay the price of a great
ideal.
Modern philosophers think less and
less of speculation and inference, and
more and more recognize the vast i'm
portance of the common experience
and consciousness Of mankind.
We confess the superiority of what
we initiate; to copy q thing is to re-
cognize its excellence.
The unbeliever's laundering logic
denies the doctrine of God, he has
lost faith in the Divine government
but his better instinct is still with It.
and as a rule he will not disturb the
n 80
faith of his family.
Most of the sons who ''stand out
side in the dark" regard with venera,
ton and usefulness, the faith and
worship which made sweet the home
of their childhood.
The great question in business is
character, and most employers ever
if unbelievers, require in their EN-
ployees those elements of charactel
which are inculated and fostered b,
the Christian Religion.

THE DECEMBER MESSAGE.

Those who write the news of Wash
ington for the perusal of the public
say that the president has completed
his annual message to congress, with
the exception of the portion relating
to the Cuban situation, and some of
the important recommendations the
message contains are outlined in the
Geographic reports.
Mr.. Roosevelt will recommend a few
changes in the railroad rate law,
changes of minor Importance, it is
said, based on suggestions from the
interstate commerce commission.
He will ask for Legislation advocated
during the last session of congress by
Senator LaFollette, commanding the
withdrawal from the market of oil,
coal and mineral lands on the public
domain until the value of such lands
can be definately fixed.
He will favor the passage of the
ship subsidy bill, as he has before, and
that will be one of his recommends
tions that will not be acceptable in
the western interior.
1t is positively asserted that the
message contains a strong recommen-
dation in behalf of an enactment to
provide a tax on inheritances, so ar
ranged as to prevent the accumulation
of great wealth. This would not in
terefere with the accumulating process
during the life time of the accumula-
tor, but might prevent the heirs from
building ON what they inherit through
succeeding generations.
There is an intimation that the pres.
ident will recommend the passage OF
an income tax law so constructed as
to avoid the constitutional objections
raised by the supreme court, legisla-
ton that might be made to check the
construction Of vast and unwieldy for
tunes.
The symptoms given forth by the
president indicate that he recognizes
the danger Of continued concentration
Of wealth, If he attempts to secure
Legislation on that subject, he will

meet with opposition in congress more

meet with opposition in congress more
determined taan that encountered by
him in the domain of railroad rate
regulation. All the interests that
have been long protected by congress
would unite to prevent any interior
ence with the privileges of wealth.
In the message there will be an ac-
count of the operation Of the rate law
the meat and food inspection laws and
the operations of the executive office
against the great trusts OF the coun-
try.
There are many important topics for
discussion now before the people and
the forthcoming mes age will be
watched for and discussed in advance
