THE Chicago Democrats are emulating the example of their New York brethren and are trying to keep Ool. Bryan and national issues out of this year's campaign. If this thing continues Col. Bryan will have to go over to the Populist party in order to have hiB financial views thoroughly exploited.
THE middle-of-the-road Populists have at last verified the charge made by the Republican managers in 1896 that they were not in favor of free silver, but were working for the issue of fiat paper currency. Now they have shown their purpose in the platform just published. There is not much hope for the white metal in what they say, but all hope seems to linger around the full legal tender greenback, once known to be worth but 34 cents on the dollar.
THE camp of Col. -Pettitt's regiment (the 4th U. S. immunes) located at Fredricksburg. Va., furnishes an example of what a competent officer can do for his command. The instructions from the war department to Col. Pettitt were the same as received by all other commanding officers in the various camps. No cases of fatal sickness have occurred in his camp. The same might be 6aid of Gen. Lee's camp at Jacksonville, Fla. Gen. Lee's orders were the same and the furnishings by the department were the same as in other camps. Yet by strict attention to business Gen. Lee has been able to carry his troops t'urough with but few cases of fatality. Thus the record is clearing up and the people are beginning to understand that defamation and ault-tinding must have an end.
WHEN the President called out the volunteers they were apportioned among the 6tates, the law authorizing the appointment of the officers by the governors thereof. Fifteen of the states now have Democraticgovernors, therefore the officers attached to the various regiments recruited in those states were appointed by their governors, and of course are not a charge
in any manner, shape or form upon the Republican administration of President McKinley. Six 6tates have Populist governors, hence the troops recruited in these Btates were officered by men chosen by the' Populists. It will be seen that out of 44 states, 21 are governed by men who are not Republicans, and it iB supposed that onehalf of all the officers came from these states, or nearly so, and therefore we have a divided responsibility if politics in appointments is to be consid ered.
CHIEF JUSTICE DOSTER, of the Kansas supreme court, who is a leading PopuliBt in his own state, has just returned from Cuba, where he went to visit his son, who is a major in the 22d Kansas Vols. Judge Doster bears testimony to the splendid discipline and order everywhere manifested on the part of the army, and says that the subordinate officers are mostly responsible for whatever delinquencies may have been discovered in the care and equipment of the army. This seems to be the true spirit in which to study the history of the controversy now going on. The secretary of war can not personally superintend the execution of orders delivered to thousands of men in different places at various times. The subordinate officer, after having been enformed as to his duty, must be responsible for the manner in which he discharges his responsibility.
To come from a "semi-savage" here are some 'very conservative, sensible and pointed propositions enunciated in Washington by the representative of the Filipinos: "We first of all desire absolute independence. If the United States is unwilling to accord us that from the firet, then the next thing would be the establishment of a protectorate by the United States, and third, to become a colonial possession of this country. One thing ia certain, and that is that the United States can not juBtly ask us to lay down our arms and accept any terms of peace until we are absolutely assured by America that our islands will never be given back to the control of Spain, and fwe will never more be a colonial possession of that country, which has through long ages oppressed and misruled us. That point guaranteed to ua and we will willingly lay down our arms and accept what the American government believes in justice and right we should be accorded."

INGERSOLL ON ALCOHOL.
A Beautiful Piece of Word l'aiuting By the Agnostic.
LPublished by Request.]
The following wonderful piece of word painting has been frequently published, says the Chicago Tribune, but we reprint it at the request of several readers who desire a complete copy. Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll, in addressing a jury in a case which involved the manufacture of alcohol, made the following terrible arraignment of the demon: "I am aware that there is a prejudice against any man who manufactures alcohol. I believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the distillery until it empties into the jawB of death, dishonor and crime, it demoralizes everybody that touches it, from its source to where it ends. I do not believe anybody can contemplate the object without being prejudiced against the liquor crime. All we have tc do, gentlemen, is to think of the wrecks on either Bide of the stream of death, of the suicides, of the insanity, of the ignorance, of the destitution, of the little children tugging at the faded and withered breast of weeping and despairing mothers, of the wives asking for bread, of the men of genius it has wrecked, the men struggling with imaginary serpents, produced by this devlish thing and when you think of the jails, of the almshouses, of the asylumB, of the prisons, of the scaffolds upon either bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against
thiE
damned stuff called
alcohol. Intemperance cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood in its strength, old age in its weakness. It breaks the father's heart, bereaves the doting mother, extinguishes natural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachment, blights parental hopes, brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength sickness, not health death, not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans farmers fiends, and all of them paupers and beggars. It feeds rheumatism, invites cholera, imports pestilefcce and embraces consumption. It covers the land with idleness, misery, crime. It fills your jails, supplies your almshouses, and demands your asylums. It .engenders controversies, fosters quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds your penitehtaries, and furnishes viatims for your scaffolds. It is the life blopd of the gambler, the element of the burglar, the prop of the highwayman and support of the midnight inr cendiary. It contenancea the liar, respects the thief, esteems the blasphemer. It violates obligation, reverences fraud and honors infamy. It defames benevolence, hates love, Bcorns virtue and slanders innocence. It incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the husband to massacre hie wife, and the child to grind the paricidal ax. It burns up men, consumes women, detests life, curses God, despiBes heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, defiles the jury box and stains judicial ermine. It degrades the citizen, debases the legislator, dishonors the statesman and disarms the patriot. It brings shame, not honor misery, not safety despair, not hope misery, not happiness and with the malevolence of a fiend it calmly surveys its frightful desolation and unsatiated havoc. It poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals, blights confidence, slays reputations and wipes out national honor, then curses the world and laughs at its ruin. It does all that and more. It murders the soul. It is the sum of all villainies, the father of all crimes, the mother of all abominations, the devil's best friend and God's worst enemy."

LESSON I. FOURTH QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, OCT. 2.
Text of the Lesson, II Cliroti. xiv, 2-13. Memory Verses, 2-5 Golden' Text, II Chron. xiv, 11—Commentary by the Rev.
D. M. Stearns.
2. "And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of tlio Lord his God." Last quarter was spent chiefly with the prophets Elijah and Elisha, men of God, and now we are to have several lessons on kings who were men of God. Asa was the third king of Judah after the kingdom was divided at the death of Solomon, and the first to do right in the sight of the Lord. This statement is made concerning seven other kings of Judah, but not onoo concerning any of the kings of the ten tribes. The throne was called the throne of the Lord, or the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel, and the king was said to be king for the Lord his God (I Chron. xxix, 23 xxviii, 6 II Chron. ix, 8). 3. "He took awny the altars of the strange gods." Although the law of God said, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Ex. xx, 3), yet Solomon introduced many strange gods to please his wives, and both Rehoboam and Abijnh continued the idol worship. It is difficult to go against the customs of your father and grandfather, but Asa feared God rather than ilmn and was determined to do right boforo Him. 4. "And commnndod Judah to seol? the Lord God of their fathers." In verses 3 and 4 of the next chapter wo rend that Israel had been for a long season without the true God. and without a teaching priost, and without law, but when they turned to thoLord and sought Ilim He was found of them. In versos 12 and 15 wo read that they sought Him with all their heart and soul, evon with their whole desire, and He gave them rest round about. Tho Lord takes heed to our hearts rather than our words and will fulfill tho desiru of them that fear llim. 5. "Tho kingdom was quirt before him." Verse 1 says, "In hisdavs tho land was quiet ten years." Quietness is one of tho great gifts of God which shai) yet be fully enjoyed not only by all Israel but by all the world, when "the work of righteousness shall bo peace, arid the effect (or service) of righteousness shall bo quibtness and assurance forever" (Isa. xxxii, 17). In quietness and in confidence is strength, and the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit is in the sight of God of great prico (Isa. xxx, 15 Pi?efc'iii,, 4). 6. "The laniPhad reSt.'bpcauso the Lord had given hMuVfeti"-1 Th Joshua xxiii, 1, it is written that '4he Lord bad given rest unto Israel from alL'thaiii.enemies. In I Chron. xxik 9, th6 Lor&e)bad told David that his 'son Solomon (peaceable) would be a man of rest and that.
110
Israel would enjoy
peace and quietness in his days. Lamech said concerning his son, "This shall comfort us concerning our work," and so he called him Noah—i. e., rest or comfort.. The earliest rest is that of Geh. ii, 3, which was broken by the devil doubting God's word and God's love, and thus ho stjill seeks to break all rest. 7. "Because we have sought the Lord our God He hath given us. rest on every side." When SolomQn..was about to build the1 temple, he said to Hiram, "The' Lord my. God hath given me rest on' every1side, so that there-is neither' adversary norevil ocourrent" (I Kings v, 4). The rest of the kingdom that is coming will be glorious (Isa. xi, 10),. or, as in the margin, glory. Even now He says, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest,"and "When He giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?" (Math. xi, -28 Job xxxiv, 29.) When, even in our ordinary daiily affairs, we allow tho government to be upon His shoulder and the peace of God to rule (Isa. ix, 7 Col. iii, 15), we will have a glorious foretaste of the rest of the kingdom. Some say that they seek Him yet do not seem to find Him as their rest, but it must be that they do not seek Him with the wholo heart (.Ter. xxis^:13). 8-10. The adversary will hot allow us to rest if ho can help it, so hero we have over a million of Ethiopians gathered against Asa in battle, and. ho has but little over half as many with which to meet them. Wars will not wholly cease from the earth until the devil is cast into tho lake of fire at the end of the thousand years (Rev. xx, 7-10), for, while the millennium will be a time of peace, it will end with a great war. Israel had no reason to fear her enemies, however numerous, for the promise of God was that one should chase a thousand and two put 10,000 to flight. The deliverance from Egypt and the conquest of the Canaanitgs, with the many deliverances and victories in the days of the Judges and in the timo of David, would strengthen the hands of any one who feared God. David could say, "I will not be afraid of ten thousands of peoplo that have set themselves against me round about." "Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear" (Ps. iii, 6 xxvii, 3 xlvi, 1, 2)'. 11. "And Asa cried unto the Lord bis God and said, Lord, it is nothing with Thee to help, whether with many or with them that have nopowor." Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "It maybe that'the Lord will work for us, for there is no restraint to tho Lord to save by many or by few" (I Sam. xiv, 0). The greatest hindrance to the Lord's work is generally our fancied strongth or wisdom, and there is
provorb much moro uuscripi ur::l than this, that God helps those who help themselves. In the matter of salvation it itonly the lost and helpless and ungodly for whom it is provided, and it has been provided wholly by our Lord Jesus Christ and is given freely to.every penitent sinner. In the daily life for God it is God who works all our works in us and for us (Isa. xxvi, Iii). Ho dolivers tho needy, the poor also and him that hath no helper (Ps. lxxii, 1-J). When Gideon had only 82,000 men against an innumerable host, tho Lord said to him, "The people that are with thee are too many, lest Israel vaunt thomselvcs against me. saying, Mine own .band hath saved mo" (Judg. vii, 2).
God must bo glorified in all things, an*.
110
flesh dare presumo to glory in His presence (I Cor. i, 29, 31 Isa. ii, 11, 17, 22). If we are living in the name of the Lord and seeking only Ilis glory, 110 man or demon can prevail against 11s or even touch us without God's permission. 12. "So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah." They were destroyed before the Lord and heforu His host (verso 13). Yet whon the king of Israel came against Asa in the thirty-sixth year of his reign bo forgot this great deliverance and relied on the king of Syria rather than upon God, and when rebuked for it ho grew angry with the Lord's servant and put him in prison (chapter svi). So prone are wo to forget God and to lean upon an arm of flesh instead of putting our wholo trust in tho Lord I Blessed are all they that trust in Him IPs. ii. 12).
