At the ouutart it i felt by the Hepublican manager that the iiiethols i' ... , ?ucco;tully practiced ! tho oW htato, in the last in Komo of election can not be applied With advantage in tho I young and uncorruptoa weal tit 0 the Norihwet commonWhile fat mixnt bj fried in considerablo quantitt from the protected trusts and other monopolies, it con id not be put to very effective use. The purchase oi "rtoateM" in "blocks of five" is not feasible, since very few if any of this class of voter axe to be found in the nzw Siatoj; and, in any event, the experiment would be ::- tratnely hazardous anion p an impulfrive iveople, who frequently uso young trees for executing apeedy justioo'upon malefactors. Nor would walking delegates'' of labor organizations, supplied with the money of tiiriff-fed monopoly, be ablo to mislead or corrupt many voters in the new States. In view of the ineffectiveness of the usual Republican campaign methods in thi contort, it has been propused to overrun the four new States with an army of Republican orators between this time and the election. i Antony tho speakers already booked for this Western campaign are Joseph K. Cannon. J. C. Burrows. Benjamin Rutterworth and other Republican members of Congre, who will make the welkin ring with their shout for "Protection to American Industry." This is a g ound tm which the Democrats are more than a match for their political opponent, and they should nut tlulay to take powossion of 1L The ablest representatives of the Democratic doctrines of 5a riff reform I the sentiment of its people would ae doubt cheerfully gtve thei smrvieee to the cause. In the great debate "..v. ..- " 1 a use iat congre&s ine superior strerfjrtli of the advocates of tariff re form was manifest, and it would be ho I less sms in this Western campaign. The Republican leadens in the new iHateewould be only too gl4 to escape-this issue and make a postmortem campaign upon the achievements a party from which 4hey have inherited little but tbe aaxx. Hut the fight for revenue rarfcwra jhould! be forced upon them, in spite af their repugnance, in every district of North and South Dakota, Montana and WaeaHtg-tea. Thore should be no repetition of the blunder that, waa committed in the Northwest last year, when the Republican who fled in, Sisgust from tbe tariff platform of Chicago were permitted to make their campaign upon the dead issue ef i-la very,. sedieaal ism and civil war. No portion of the country hew a larger interest in this the bunOag mixtion of American politics than the Ne West, the people f '.Thlch must poy heavy tribute to tho Jariff spoilers fer nearly all tho cote modities they buy. and sell their own, product in fho open markets of the world in accordarrce with the princlpkj of free trade. For this reason the Republican of that region Hhoy;. be held dewn to the isue, no mattxn how much tJiey may attempt to variggle awav fam it The New West is a . - - j field that lies almost fallow; and tbe Democrats and adherents of the-wartv of tariE reform would be utterly want ing in the courago of their opinions if thc f4onld neglect tho opportunity that i.s- offered them for itn cultivation.

Tasi hiH Udn Ass J'oreUtatU this stunned the ginntv but. Davkl took Goliath's own sword' aud selusaded him. Lkssoh KiCTS The PhiliUnosr though previously defeated by Saul,-seem e have gathered courajjo from the fact that they had with them an invincible ohaatpion, named Goliath, a warrior not far iroai tea feet iu height. In thiwe days of singl coatbat this was no mean advantage. For full forty days after the hostile armies had arrayed themselves against each other, thte Goliath paraded himself before tbe trembling Israelites, challengiug somtxine to come out and meet him in single conibuu lint no one look up the challenge, ail seemed paralysed by fear. ThU was the state of affairs when Dav'd came from his father's house to sec how his brothers were prospering. Here he loured for the first time itow things Mood, and heard of Saul's offer to tbe. muni who would vanquish the dreaded champion. Full of faith and seal and fin I of indignation at the insult thus offered to the God eft Israel, David volunteered his service Comments -Granting the great skill ol; David in the use of his sling (apparent the only weapon against which Goliath was powerless), we still must seek for the secret of his success in another direction. This we may easily find in the sinrlt which evidently animated him. Ia his dialogue with Baal with regard to his ability to meet this foe, while he modestly sneaks of his experiences with the bear and the lion, ho even then ascribes the glory to God, saying: uThe Lord that delivered ma out of the iw t the ftoa and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of lhe hand of -thni Phillstlae." In David's mind the con Kiel was not one lmtwcen himself and the l'hiiistine cltasaplon, but between God and Ilia aaversa riea. Th spiritual side of tho matter was to David the real side. And here. his faith came bravely to his aid. The apostle a speaking of the heroes of faith in Hebrews It, fails not to mention David among theta, aad he doubtless hud this battle ia -aiad when he made mention of liim.i tThe llfiddea spring of David's courage and aaeoos lay not in his sling and stones, but .in Ms prevailing faith in God. How often we have aeea this in the history of God's ko,le fri the days of Abel down even to our times. In many senses it remains true that . "this, i tho victory that overcometh .tk world, even our faith." Hovr did David ovcrcomo Goliath 1 Sitfe!jrV by parleying with with him. and do fifrriag the day of combat, No sooner did Ik hear the challenge, tiian he accepted it, Ik iawutd; he ran to tha conflict, fcelinte thutt tWvMMierho joined Issue with tbel'hiliatiuc tlie oner would ho guln the victory "He Yshrftatrhts and runs away, may live to fight another day," may be good advice in eanfan lys kittle, but i.s tha worst possible advt; 1. things spiritual.
