Tur railroads are more effectually boy- cotting the World’s Fair than the preach ers can ever hope to do. THE overs pected official favors from this adminis- tration are now wiser, if not more sad.

It ought to make our schools better by increasing the attendance. LONDON is going to have a new half- penny daily paper, to be called the Sun. If it turns out to be as cantankerous and as readable an Dana's Sun it will wake the Britons up. EVIDENTLY the governments of Europe do not share the opinion, so often ex- pressed by some people, that the days of war arc over, or they would not, aa the latest figures say they do, maintain 22,- 248,000 soldiers on a war footing. SoME of the English papers are afraid that English visitors to the World's Fair will corrupt their language by picking up Americanisms. Great heavens! This is humiliating in the extieme, coming from a land which tolerates the cockney- isms of the London ’Arry and his pro- vincial imitators. ThE halo. that some people expected to form around the head of American am bassadors abroad has evidently not ma- terialized in the case of Ambassador Eus- tis, who was detained at the door of the Mazarin palace, in Paris, tne other day, until he could find somebody to identify him, because he had lost his invitation. IT seems that the tactics of forming construction companies, which made a number of fortunes during the building of the Pacific railroads, are to be repeated with the Nicaragua canal. The money for the railway furtunes came out of the U. 8. treasury, and the canal builders are probably counting upon the same thing. Tur Berlin Record is in favor of giving woman the ballot and the right to vote at all elections. The Record is on’ the right side of the question. May God speed the day when our wives, mothers and sisters ¢an go to the polls with us to vote. When that day comes, politics will be made purer, better laws will be enacted and we will have reached a high- er staté of civilization, justice and mor- als. And don’s you forget it, that day will come. Tae Salisbury STAR crowds a great deal of sense into a few lines about the nonsensical use of latin terms and old time phrases in drawing up deeds, trans: fers, sheriff sale notices, etc. What we need is a lawyer or two strong enough and bold enough to set the example for others to follow by breaking away from obsolete methods. and giving us forms that are as binding as the old, yet are plain enough to be read and understood by the common run of mankind.—Berlin Record. Tris administration has been in power less than three months, and everyaday, al- most, brings the report of financial fail- ures throughout the county. The truth is that. anticipated tinkering with the tariff has frichtened the manufacturing industries of the country, and the pros- pect of “‘wild-cat” currency and free coin- age of silver has disturbed financial cir - cles and led to a tightening of the money market. If the powers that be do not soon brace up in their financial policy, confidence will be utterly shaken and a panic may ensue.—Ex. “You can always judge a town and its veoble by its newspapers,” remarked a prominent business man ard member of the Board of Trade. afew days ago. fore I came to California I sent to every town of any size throughout the state and obtained copies of their local papers. I could tell more in twenty minutes about the business enterprise and character of the people in a place by looking over a copy of a regular edition of each of its home papers—advertisements and all, than I could by reading boom pamphlets, paid write-ups and big special editions of outside newspapers for a week. When I came to visit California I did not find a single town that was materially different from the opinion I had thus previously formed of it. —Pomona (Cal.) Progress. “*e- Christian Science Cures. This religious movement passing under the above name is causing no little ex- citement in a section of our community, designated as Mt. Nebo. Just how to account for the silence of Mt. Nebo's cor- respondent, we are utterly unable; unless it were that he is ensnared into the mael- strom of the Christian Science movement and is passing along with the current of excitement, entirely oblivious of his sta- tion and surroundings. There is an ad- vocate of the Science cure among us at present, in the person of a female, curing the melancholy, hystericai, paralytic and the sick, no matter what the morbid state is with which their bodies are suffering. Faith in God, the identification with some religious denomination and the “wherewithal” are necessary qualifica- The prime fac- but any tions to take treatment. tor is the “wherewithal”, one not being cured after taking treatment, is said to lack in faith. The Father Mollinger cures in Pitis- burg, last year, was a similar movement, and hundreds of people were duped by him. Crutches were away by pilgrims, splints and other surgical aj.- pliances were discarded; all, it is need- less to say, only to be taken up again in a very short time. - This priest studied medicine in his younger days and did some prescribing in connection with the faith instilled, and after his death it was discovered that the drug store to which he sent his patients was owned by him. The Woodworth meetings held in St. Louis, during the summer of 1390, was a similar religious excitement: likewise were the alleged cures at the shrine of Laurdes. In each and all of these in- stances did the credulous people discover, only too "ate, that they were humbugged, made into a plaything and tolerated the impostors to play upon their weak, im- becile minds to their heart’s content. For any one to think that God, at the present time, has inspired some people to heal all manner of diseases by faith alone, and they in turn being capable of inspir- ing others, must have a brain exceeding- lv shallow or entirely free from convolu- tions. Those times are past: we are liv- ing in a different age. Our frail bodies are subject to disease in the natural or- der of things; we are constantly dying, cell by cell, and in the midst of life we ate in death. Not everybody is to be healed and cured of his bodily ailments. “God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform.” ete. He tries our faith by and afflictions. His book teaches us that there is a hell, a place of destruction, an everlasting pun- thrown SOIrows ishment. And right here let me tell you that literature is passing through our mails denying that there is a hell and an everlasting punishment. Should this Iit- erature fall the hands of our chil- dren and the rising generation, we will have more sceptics, spiritnalists, infidels and fools thau yet recorded in the history of our country. You, pavents, will be responsible for this, providing you make no effort to suppress it. Again, we are told our faith doctor does not belong to any church, yet! she requests her patients to be indentitied with some religious organization. To be consistent, it does seem that what is good for the goslings would not hurt the goose any. If a person becomes a Christian for the sole purpose of being cured, and not for the love of God, (and we have evidences of this right in our midst, if actions speak at all) his or her Christian- ity and faith is an open insult to God and his people. The real care of Christian Science is hypnotism, and hypnotism is a psychical effect upon the mind, making it more susceptible for the reception of suggestions and more willing to obey these suggestions. Now, if vou cloak this psychical effect with apparent re- ligious faith and zeal, you have brought the most powerful influence known to the human mind, and wavering, unsettled, flighty "minds will be carried away with it. But bear in mind that the power is not in the faith, but in the psychical effect. Hypnotism is something genuine, as de- cided by a medical body of men author- ized the matter, but this body does not believe in ‘animal mag- netism,” which is the dominant factor in mesmerism. I will conclude by quoting irom Dr. Donn: “The popularization of hypnotism by means of mind cures, Christian Science, results at the expense of mental demoral- ization, and faith-healing institutes are more pernicious elements in society than A CITIZEN. into to bear to investicate ete, accomplishes its gin mills.” Grantsville, Md.
