There was general expression of satisfaction on the streets yesterday at the action taken by the city council in reducing expenses for the ensuing year. A few doubting Thomases, how ever, wondered why it was that such a sweeping reduction was made after an appropriation of $4,500 had been made for improving a burial ground on Clat sop Plains. The appointment iby President -el eot McKlnley of Russell A. Alger to the war portfolio In the cabinet, cannot fail to meet the approbation of every pa triot. Ex-Governor Alger has always been a staunch Republican and 1 an old 'war-horse of national renown. That he will conduct the office to the best Interests of the nation and his own credit goes without saying. 'Ho, every one Utitt thinsteth, come ye tv the waters, and he that hath no nvmry; n ye, buy, and eat; yea come, buy wine and milk, without mon ey and without price." Isaiah. 53:1. In one of the whurtvr catechisms is an answvr to a question which says that "some" are elected of Cod to salvation. It an implication that there are others who are not eleoted. In the parable of the marriage of the king's son. the Savior says, "For many are mlled. but few ar chosen." Two words, sometimes confused together, re demption and salvation, are as widely different in meaning a are marriage and death. The one was an act per formed by the Father, completed when the Savior ascended from earth and sat on lUa right hand, without our consent or volition. The other. If applicable to us, must be made so through our own effort. Each ha his own salvation to work out with fear and trembling. If w do not do so upon the lines pre scribed by the Father, can we expect to be chosen? Redemption has been provided, but It Is for us to lay hold upon the means of salvation. The man overboard, in imminent danger of per isihing. may be saved. A line is. thrown to him by friends on the dock. Still they cannot save him. The drowning man mum lay hold of the rot and cling to It tightly with grim determi nation tilt those ashore haul him in Even after having taken bold of the rope the man may loosen his hold and fall back Into the water. Many har row ing tatai of the lost might be told by the great Columbia flowing past our doors. Weak, erring humanity may be within reach of the line of salvation tossed to him by loving hands, may even grasp the plan of redemption pro vided by the Father, yet may lack the courage, or will power to cling to It amid the trials and temptations, rldl- oule of companions, or influence of some sin. So the word "some" Is swallowed up in the "al." Redemption was made for all Some do not grasp the life line that would carry them to salvation. The advance sheets of the Interstate commerce commission report for the year ended June 30, 189, confined to the Income account of rail ways In the Unit ed States, gives some highly interesting figures. The raUway mileage In opera tion; the earn in r from rnrpr ard freight service: the earnings from op eration; operating expenses and net earnings; the income from other sources; the total Income; total deduc tions from income; dividends declared; and the surplus from the operations for the year, contain object lessons wor thy of the careful study of every busl nws man.

Gage for secretary of the treasury was an Inspi ration born of Major McKinley's keen Intuition is attested by the exprwwion of popular awn-al coming from all elasse f people and every part of the I eourrtry. These expression of saitls faotion, bordering on enthusiasm, are not simply the conclusions of political expediency or parrisftn advantage. They sin iw that Mr. Gage has naxJ.nal recognition as a strong and forcible personality in finance, and In good gov ernment They know that his name has stood for afe, honest and conser vative financiering fur a quarter of a eentary. They know that his wide ex perience at the head of one of th greatest banking IflKtltuttona in the West has ln upplem?nted with lib eral rtudy of econfrmk." question and by thoughtful and weH-mitiir?1 cnolu slomi up-Jn the various phases of the currency problem as .they have been presented at different times, since the war. Th"ise considerations Impel the gen era! and widespread conviction that a stronger name could not be presented for this lmKitant truwt at this time. This conclusion Is re-infonced by a splendid array of commendatory com ment gleaned from all swtions of the country. They revwd very little if any dlaeiat from the universal acknowledg. ment of Ws eminent fitness for the place and his genira.1 acceptability Ho all scotions and all clayi. If there is any part of the country In which his name Is received with lees enthusiuMn it ia due to lack of ac quaintance with the man and the wide measure of his qualifications. Mr. Gage Is something more than a banker. He has been a rwoognlzed authority on monetary questions for many years. He know the alpha and the omega of the eurrency question. He has a compre etulon of the wider aspects of the eurrency problem, and Is big enough and- broad enough to regard It from the lofty standpoint of the highest Interest of the people and the government. At no time in the history of our country, with the possible exception of the period of specie resumption, has there been such urgent demand in this position for & man of great and ac knowledged capacity for the admlnls- A woman never really knows the meaning of happiness and content until she is the mother of a healthy, happy child. The health of the child depends upon the health of the mother, both before and after birth. Most all of woman's weakness and particularly the weakness that most strongly Influences the health of children, comes from some derangement or disease of the dis tinctly feminine organ. Dr. Pierce' Favorite Prescription will cure trou bles of this nature. It should be taken regularly by every woman during the entire period of (Testation. It gives strength to all the organ Involved, lessens the pains of childbirth, and in sures the health of both mother and child.
