•ongress of March 3, 1879.
English correspondents are im
pressed with the vastness of what
they see going on at Panama. The
monument there to American enter
prise will last through the ages
Shackelton is ahead of Peary,
miles In approaching one of the
earth's poles, but Peary still has an
inning, and that often means a home
run.
Tobacco users must be the most
contented of mortals. They never
send a lobby to Washington to pro
test against a tax on what they ad
mit is unquestionably a great luxury.
The Philippines will shortly have
a new governor general, the fifth in
less than ten years. But the posi
tion has been better than the average
promotion.
Senator Newlauds must have had
quick returns from his speech in
New York last week. At any rate he
has found it advisable to issue an
anti-railroad statement which sounds
oddly at variance with the position
in this matter that the senator has
previously occupied in the eye of the
Nevada public. However, Nevada
does not see much of the senator and
liossihly it lias had him sized up
wrong.
It is good to have money in bank:
tietter to have it in real estate in
favored localities of auch districts as
this and sometimes best to have it in
the legitimate stocks of a district as
great in present development and ac
tivity and future prospects as is the
Ely camp. However, it is the his
tory of copper camps that, the aver
age man who has made and kept a
fortune in them has done so through
real estate. Copper camps worthy
the name are certain of long time
growth, expansion and high prosper
ity. They come along slowly lint
surely. Thre is a little gain every
day, and in Ihe course of a few years
it works into a great showing.
(in where you will in the world ami
you will find that It is in those com
munities where the worker owns his
own home that the best relation* ex
ist tietween employe and employer; j
that the best wages are paid: that
the best social conditions exist, that
the best schools are maintained and
that the highest general prosperity j
prevails Home owning is Ihe real
solution of the labor problem, for it
means Independence, esteem on both
sides, the exercise of cooler judg
ment, ability to command means for
the rainy (lav and consequently to
stand up for that you believe riRlii,
which is Ihe big satisfaction in life. It
is such community that is building tip*
rapidly here and that will In time
make the camp the envy of the indus
trial centers of the west.
It is not the miner of lead who
should feel the lash of tariff reduc
tion iiecause of popular outcry
against the price of lead products.
The manufacturers of these and the
retailers are Hie gentlemen who
‘•hnuld get the cut. The lead miner
has lieeu fair. The manufacturer
and the retailer Jiave soaked (lie
public for all and more than the:
traffic would bear. Hut the nianu-1
facturer and (he retailer have by far
the larger number of votes. They
elect several times over the number ,
of congressmen. In consequence the
duty on lead promises to go down ■
while the duty on lead products
promises to go up. With a tariff com-'
mission handling these matters, in
vestigating and getting at the bottom
of them. Instead of a congress dom
inated by the volume of noise from
the outside, everybody will lx* much
better off.
JEST A MTTI.K REASONING
(Extract of Discourse by Rev. .). R.
liarr.)
“Cold corueth out of tlie* north or
as in the margin cold cometh out of
the scattering winds."—Job 27-9.
God says: Come now let us reason
together. Multitudes rush on for the
accummulation of what is in their
estimation the almighty dollar, heed
less of the fact that anything else is
of import. Other crowds go pell mell
after physical gratifications, as
though that were the only thin*
worth seeking But neither of these
ideals stand the tests that come to
every heart, tests without which
there can be no capacity for delight
and happiness The Book of .loti
from which we have our text, is
beautiful, serious and practical, and
deals with the problems of human
life to their deepest depths. Yes.
God ap|ieals to reason in thought and
through all His words, and the work
ings of the unalterable eternal laws
of electricity, gravitation and heat
and cold. Scientists and philoso
phers. in all their channels of
thought and findings, always and
everywhere meet with God, His
word and laws.
It is a very wonderful thing, the
immensity of which finite man is in
capable of grasping The measuring
of distance to sun. moon and various
planantes; the speed and intensity of
light and heut; the power of the
objective over the subjective mind;
the progress in telepathy, telegraphy,
air ships and tho various uses being
made more and more of electricity.
We have grasped enough to demon
strate that we have but simply begun
Here is an illustration. Maury in
his “Physical Geography of the
Sea," speaks of “a river in the sea
Jts banks and bottom are water ’
On the basis “that this river is 50
miles wide and 1000 feet deep and
its current flow a little more than
two miles an hour, it carries con
tinually 77,000,000,000,000,000 foot
pounds of heat, or one-fourth the
amount received from the sun by the
world from the tropics to the north
pole. This stream carried heat keeps
northern Europe from being a Lab
rador and the central Atlantic region
from being uninhabitable because of
heat, going out between Florida and
Cuba at 65 degrees and returning
after a wide circuit from Africa’s
coast at 40 degrees The great
English nation would l>e an impossi
bility without it. There Is still a
greater river in the Pacific. The
Kuroshiwi comes up by Japan, strikes
the Aleutian Islands, circles round
by Alaska; strikes Sitka 1700 miles
north of Parland. so warm that there
is seldom ice enough for skating; |
then the current conies by San Fran
cisco with enough cold to make sharp
reminder every summer afternoon
the areral currents are evident.
The heated air rises Trom the equa
tor and the air from the poles at once
takes its place, and the heated air
moves toward the pole* Then there
are modifications made by mountains,
streams and inland seas, etc. Ac
cordingly is the scriptural statement
while the esnli reinaineth, seed time
and harvest, cold and heat, summer
and winter, day and night shall not
cease
So God is speaking to every one of
us. lj*t ua reason together. Ail is
yours. There Is good in everything,
for every one. You can conquer
every thing. Not in the narrow
human way but in His infinitely
better way.
