Tho following article Is from the pen of Rov. Elliott W. Brown pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Dubuquo Iowa, nnd was written for Tho Phi Gamma a paper printed in the interest of his church. "The modern anthem is like tho modern spring bonnet fearfully nnd wonderfully ruado. Its pursuit defying mazes are altogether unique wnne its erratic moandenngs aro beyond dispute, confusing in the ex treme. It is an innovation that should die by roquest. A certain pastor, after being tort ured by one of those uiu-ficul (?) pro digies, prayed : "O Lord, bloss the choir. Thou knowo.it what they bavo boon singing, for we do not." Whethor vocal pyrotchnics, as ex hibited in this clasti of oompomtions are designed to entertain, profit, or affront popular taste, is not entirely dear ; but it is probablo that some sky-rockety genius, in a fit of eo-contriosolf-ooufldonoo, shot off the first mouorn anthem, and grew hopelessly insane at the attempt. Others, less to bo pitied and more to be execrated, have lived (more's the pity) to oompoao thee admired "words," ana they are now sung on many occasions. They are too modern to bo called "relics of bar barism :" thoy aro simply evidences of inbred depravity. It is almost impossible to enter ninny churches without hearing ono of these caricatures of ancient psal mody, and this is about the style of its rendition : The ono-thousand-dollar Soprano (Paris Conservatoire) warbles out a statement that she will wash. Tho alto astonishes the congregation by volunteering a like statement. Tho tenor (late of the "Boston Ideals," and so announced in the pupors) loftily exprossos his firm determination likewise to perforin an ablution. The Swedish basso growls out defiantly his intention to wash also. All this requires much heaving, swelling of veins, contortions of visago, and vain repetition, to make clear to tho congregation that a general wash is about to oome off. But this does not by any means satisfy the quartette, who seem to have suddenly developed an intense longing after cleanliness. Thoy take a deep breuth and a fresh start Suction 9. It shall be tho duty of the oounty chairman and town ship committeemen to give dno no Hoe thirty days bofore the Primary Election to each member of the county committee nnd the public of tho day and date of the IVimary Election and they shall designate the offloos for which candidates shall te voted for at said election Section 10, Any legal voters other than Republicans wishing to vote at Republican primaries will be granted the privilege of voting pro vided thoy swear to vote the Repub lican tickot at tho noxt general elec tion ; any Republican not of ago at tho time of holding the said Prim ary Election, but will booomo of nge before tho General Election, shall be eligible to vote at the primary eloo Hon.. Brction 11. The Primnry Elec tion polls shall be opened at 3 o'clock p. m. and closed at 8 p. in. Suction 12. It shall bo the duty of tho Primary Eloetion Board to write down tho namo of each voter costing his ballot at tho Primary. Said poll list and ballots to be kept by tno Juugo ot JMoction In each town ship and borough at least ono year. If nt any time tho county chairman or mombors of tho county commit tee desire to inspect said pull list thoy shall have tho privilege so to do, in the prcsenoo of ono of tho oleotion boord of said township.

'V'J- tember, 1897, during thoir fjarm of " " " after which, with, many a susnen sion, quaver, slur, rest, and variation iney repoat tno words, "I will wash my hands" much to tho reliof of tho scarcely breathing congregation. A heavy, long-drawn sigh testifies to their momentary eoso. But the next phrase, sung in n soul-harrowing pooo agitato. "I will wash my hands in" plunges jne perspiring listeners Into a fresh sea of distressing doubt. Tho min ister's wifo on the front Boat that little lady in tho pearl silk robe, not tho stout lady in black satin uneasily Bhifts' her position; the theological noophyto, fresh from the seminary, nnoonsoiously blushes, the bald-headed deacon frowns ominously ; it is a matter of univer sal and painful doubt as to what element tho singers will use to wash their hands. Oh such torriblo sus pense ! With sensibilities wrought up to a tremendous pitch, tho jwoplo now listen to a vocal race, each incoher ent artist vying with tho others to bo tho first to announoe tho element to be used in thoir ablutions. . Tho soprano starts off at a gentle cantor, but she impresses the con gregation as possessing considerable reserve speed. The alto nnd tenor follow, neok and nock, good seconds while the bass oomos lumbering on behind, already breathing heavily. Thoy soon begin in earnest, and in a short time are going at a lively pace. It needs an expert to pre dict who first will emerge from the intricacies of tho snarl: "I will wash my hands wash my wash will hands in my wash will I hands I will wash wash wash wash my hands hands hands my wash wiil I wash, my hands will I hands I will wash wash wash my-wash in wash" oh, it is maddening ! But won derful to relate, they finally com promise, and all come In together, expressing a peaceable, respectable and entirely harmless resolve to wash thoir hands "in innooency." "The worst cold I ever had In mv life was cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remody," vritea W. H. Nor ton, of Sutter Creek, Cal "This oold loft me with a cough aud I was ex pectorating nil the time. The Remody cured me, nnd I want all of my friends whou troubled with a cough or oold to use it, for it will do them good." bold by Drutrgiat and and Ueneral Merchants in Pike County, WASHINGTON LETTER. The Sale of the Union Tacifio Railroad. Nerrrtnry flnge Ileoninmpiiilii Iiwrrnne tn Oold Keaerve or deerenne ol Ctim.iifl for Wlilrh Oold May He lleiiianded Agricultural Agi-nt at VorHfcn Le gation. Attorney General McKouna. fig ures out a total saving of 25,00O, 000 to tho pooplo of the United States by reason of tlio firm manner in which President M Kinloy in sisted upon maintaining tho rights of the pooplo in all his dealings with the bidders for tho purohnse of the Union Pacific Railroad. Tho flnnn oiers knew that they would havo to pay moro for tho road in ordor to got tho sanction of this administra tion to tho sale than they had of fered in thoir negotiations with tho Clevelund administration. Thoir first offor was about $13,000,000 in excess of tho one they mndo to the last administration, and to that they wore forced by President McKinloy 's firmness to add 13,000,000, in or dor to reach the total amount of the road's indebtedness to tho" govern ment, which was tho limit sot by the President. When tho future his torian sums up the notable accom plishments of tho McKinloy admini tration, this Union Pacifio business will occupy a conspicious place. It is in fact o great achievement per haps ono of the greatest in our civil history, and is nn object losson that might be studied with profit by those state, municipal nnd comity authorities who aro constantly al lowing tho professional financiers to got the advantage of ttio people thoy represent. Those who expected Seerefur7 Gage to make sensational financial recommendations in his annual re port to Congress were disappointed with tho conservative policy out lined in tho statnient prepared bv him and made imblio alter it was read to tho Cabinet. He starts out by saying that whilo tho present satisfactory condition of things fin ancially may continue for an inde finite period, he downs it tho part of wisdom to suggost somo reform in our financial system. Ho recom mends cithor that steps bo taken to largely incronso the gold reserve, or to decrease tho amount of currency in circulation, for which gold may bodemandod, nnd exprosses a pro- lorenco ior tno latter : and that tho bonded indobtedness of tho country bo refunded by tho issuing for tho entire amount of 2$ bonds, paya ble in gold, which would save tlio country a very largo amount of money in tho shapo of the highor interest that is now boing paid, and would, Secretary Gngo thinks, greatly strengthen tho credit of the nation, Boveral amendments to tho National banking laws uro rcconi- mondod, with the idea of lamely in. oroasing tho amount of National Bank currency, Among them boing tho establishment of National banks with a capital of 125.000 in tilncos of less than 2000 inhabitants, tho re duction of taxation on their circula- ting -notes to one-half of ono per cent, por annum, the privilege, to issue notes to tho par value of tho government, and others mure or loss technical in nature. Tnat Mr. Gnsm hasn't been bit by tho cnro-oll-ills, financial dog was shown by the fol lowing modest introduction: "The recommendations I tako the liberty to mako must bo construe as tenta tive steps in a direction which, if consistently pursued, will ultim ately load to conditions theoretics 11 v doairnblo, rather than in being in thomsolvos final moasuros to that end." Socrotary Wilson, amonor other valuablo and important recommen dations in his annual report, nsks that educated agents ol tho Agricul tural Department bo attached to the United States Legation in all coun tries with which we compete in tho markets of the world, in ordor that our farmers may be kept properly posted upon what their busmens rivals are doing all the time. ITo suggests that the agr cultural col logos, endowod by Consrross. aro graduating men who ore fitted to properly perform the duties of agents of the department in foreign countries. Tho appointment of Gen. Lons- stroet, of Georgia, to succeed Gon. VVado Hampton, aa Commissioner of Railroads, sonms to have highly gnitiliod Republicans from all sec tions, and especially those from tho South. It has been understood, ever since last year, that this would bo giveu to Gen. Longstrett, but for personal reasons Gen. Hampton was not hurried out of the oflie. Members of President McKinlev's administration have every reason to be perfectly satisfied with the status of the diplomatic relations between the Untited States and Snain. ns would at once be apparent to tho public if the long answer to the first important communication sent by President McKinloy to the govern ment of Spain was published. There are important reasons why this document has not been and will not bo made public for a time proba bly not until after it has been sub mitted to Congress. The fact that Secretary Lone lias declared his opposition to the es tablishment of a aroverniuont plant for the manufacture of armor plate has caused a dropping off of interest in the report of the Board of Navv Officers who have been investiga ting, m obedience to Coiitrnvs. for the purpose of reporting the bet lo cation tor such a plant.
