the doctrine of protection, while th+
democrats sought to trap him into al
missions that as a matter of fact pro
lection had always been a snare and
a delusion so far as the farmers were
concerned.
All this was good sword play for the
democrats and insurgents, who, while
favorable to the Canadian agreemen'
sought TO turn the occasion as enemies
of protection. In spite Of all effort
TO keep his head under the fire OF
cross questions, the senator mod
some admissions that the democrats
can later use against the protective
system: and he failed hopelessly II
his effort To show that reciprocity ar
protection may be believed in and dd
voCated al one and the same time
But ne did demonstrate hat there l.
good reason for the negotiation OF the
pending reciprocal treaty, and that il.
adoption and operation would be 81

the people of both countries.
Senator Penrose sought to have {
date fixed for the vote on the bill, but
he succeeded in getting an agreement
that while the reciprocity debate is on
the senate viii meet AT ~ o'clock and
adjourn ~ O'Clock. The combined
effect Of the longer hours and the %
IRENE heat is expected to bring the
senate 10 the point of at least nam

Next Penrose viii demand that
dates he fixed for disposing of recip
rocity as we'll as for the free list bill
and the wool bill. which are also b.
fore the senate for action.
The delay in the senate has bred 1
certain apathy in the house. The lead
ers feel that il is useless TO bring out
more single schedule revision bills
until they see a prospect of action on
them when they reach the senate. the
moves of Senator Penrose, IL success
full. will bring a stir of renewed ener-
gy 70 legislative centers.
Meanwhile the insurgents and dem
ocrats show no disposition 10 get TO
gether on tariff legislation supple
mental TO the reciprocity pact. The
Insurgents insist that the only hope FIR
such legislation lies in lacking 10 re
ciprocity amendments extending the
free list and revising the leading sched
lle of the Psyne-Aldrich act. Thev
Insist that the president will not ven
-ure TO veto the pact II such amend
nents are added TO IL And II he
should veto IL they further insist that
be will veto single bills revising the
schedules Of such bills az are sent 10
him.
Hence the insurgents say they ses
no good in seeking to make terms
with the democrats for the passage Ct
separate revision bills, and they are
holding no conferences with the dem
ocrats with a view TO reaching an under
standing. BY their attitude it woul1
appear that the insurgent republicans
sither with or without other influences
behind them, are seeking To- put the
democrats in a false light as regards

IN SPILMAN DAMAGE SUIT

The progress OF the damage suit for
1895 brought by J. H. r. Spilman
against the Rock Island railroad. Is
slow and tedious, with but little of a
sensational character to enliven 1t.
More than dozen witnesses have been
heard and more are to follow, and this
week will no doubt be consumed be-
fore the case is ended. The trial pro-
ceeds in the small court room, owing
to the remodelling of the large court
room not being completed. The regu-

tomorrow, at which time the mechanics

Lincoln felt appalled, at the work set
before them. It was his faith in GOO
and his fear of God rather than man.
that enabled him to obey Gods com
mand and render such lasting service
to mankind
Moses was born for his work, an
by special interposition was saved
from death under the edict of Pharaoh.
We have here a remarkable lesson in
divine providence, and an illustration
of the means God can use to accom-
plish his purpose. Let us remember
that the providences of God are no
less operative today than they were
in the days of Moses.
We learn from Moses, who live
forty years in the court OF Pharaoh,
and forty years in the wilderness, the
Importance of thorough preparation
for successful work. Time spent in
the preparation of body, mind and
heart for life's work is not lost.

Among all great men Moses oc.

ancient history. All in all we do no:
know a greater man than this founder
OF the Jewish nation and religion, he
deliverer of his people, law giver,
author and prophet. Save the name
of Jesus. Moses is the greatest name
in history.
Though a great man he had his
faults. He was sometimes impatient,
and sometimes reluctant in his
obedience. It is some comfort for us
to know this, but we must remember
that he was not overcome by his faults
and mistakes. In spite Of them ne
obeyed God and succeeded. Here is an
important lesson for us.
Moses was appalled, at the greatness
Of the task assigned him. All great
and good men have felt much the
same way. Luther washington and
