xrT** the pijk«ç.
Our friends are again welcome
to our editorial rooms; and we
only hope that The Messenger
will bo as gladly received again,
after this period of misfortunes,
as its patrons will be at our
doors. We especially welcome
our old correspondents either in
person or by communication.
The paper will now be issued
from new type and materil
throughout—better than ever
before—and our efforts will be
to do ample justice to our friends
in the way of giving the very
best paper that can be made by
us, situated as we are, Of course,
we do not claim nor would we
propose to make one in a place
like that in which we reside,
equal to those in a densely set
tled country, or one like what we
could and would if the world was
financially prosperous. A paper
like coat, a must be cut according
to the cloth.
Our rest has in no wise chang
ed our ideas in National politics.
We still see no hope in trusting
to either the Democratic or Re
publican party, if there is a de
sire for the restoration of silver
and renewed prosperity to our
country. We would kindly ask
.our opponents of both political
parties, what they would think
,of a man who would trust the
devil to lead in Christian works?
It is claimed by all, who hold to
the belief in Christ and satan,
that the "gentleman in black"
often sets forth very excellent
maxims for the purpose of effect
—but it is equally well admitted
that his life, his actions (his vote,
if you please) is always for
wickedness. He intends at all
times, that his acts shall glorify
Und upbuild his satanic kingdom.
The question arises, shall we
trust his insinuating words or
*h»ll he be judged by his life
wprk. Do not be deceived ! All
should look our political situa
tion squarely ip the face, and
dispassionately consider what
has beep steadily depressing our
country, year by year, since
1878, until we are below zero in
almost everything.
Since the suspension of The
Messenger the world has been
busy in making historical events
—Congress has been in the
throes of political revolution—if
something deeper
included in their furious conten
tions. Strikes and battles, de
vastations, wrecks and deaths
have spread from ocean to ocean,
until one might almost see in it
the incipicency of bloody revolu
tion. Our hope is that such may
not be the result.
Since then the noble President
of our sister republic, France,
fcas been taken abruptly from
his people by the red hand of the
assassin.
The assassin of that
friend of the poor and the wise
mayor of Chicago, has paid the
debt of his fearful crime at the
price of his own life,
broken in one place, has been
justified in another.
Floods have carried away and
fires have consumed largely of
the substance of
is not
warm
The law,
our people.
Poverty has been marching
army of destitute from the cir
cumference of our nation's ter
ritory and congregating at its
Capitol asking for labor or bread.
Pfficials, called upon by partizan
zeal for supremecy, have
f demued to dungeons, whether
fight or wrong, thousands of our
heretofore deemed good citizens,
uptil the air comes to us thick
from the seas and the mountains
wjth that unrest, which often,
heretofore, ripened into revolu
tion. May the wisdom of
people ward off the clouds of
an
cqn
our
jp Mss that linger jocund
