The anti pass law (im itative) at tempted to go before the people without an enacting clause, which is a fatal defect. The discovery of ihjs error brought to light the fact that there is no enacting clause or formal declaration of any kind on any of the bills for amendments to the state constitution for which petitions are on file. This applies to the woman’s amendment, as well an to the amendments submitted by the P. P. L. There is one newspaper man in Detroit who recently had a glimpse of what the millennium may be. Two successive visitors, when they came to announce their errands, Htated that they had called to ex press their thanks for the course the paper had taken in oertain matters with which they had no personal connection. The life of an executive editor is one long vista of sour faces and liis ears con stantly ring with querulous object ions. The thousands who are pleased are much too apt to keep silence, while the individual who is disgruntled will climb fonr flights of stairs to tell of i t How ranch pleasanter it would be if this were reversed, the kindly things said and the grumbling suppressed. It may be remarked that this policy would be as advantageous else where as in dealing with the news paper. __________ The merchant who says he has all the business he can do and pro claims that he is perfectly satisfied with trade lacks the pluck and push of a true American. The farmer who d(«lares he is producing every pound of produce his farm is cap able of, and will not put forth an effort to make a few more bushels of grain grow on each acre when prices are high, is lacking in enter prise. The mechanic who says he cauuofc torn out more trade from his shop and does not feel j net i tied iu putting forth an effort to do more work is tiehiud the times. Pro gress and advancement are the watchwords of the time?, and the individual who is satisfied with preaeut surroundings and has no Inclination to letter his condition or business is out of date. This is a moving age, and the person who is m t ambitious enough to get on top of the wave is liable to roll under the surf and lx» drowned. What is trne of the individual is true iu connection with ooniiunui- tie.< The city, town or hamlet (bat does not get on top and ride is going to fall into disrepute; it is certain to not keep apace with the more progressive and nptodate places. Public spiritedness will bring a place that has no natural advantages Jntfc prominence, while mossbackism will kill the best place in the world. Hon E L Smith was speaker of the house when Sherman oouuty was created. He fought the bill until Hon E O McCoy consented to the present southern boundary line. Qov Pennoyer signed the bill Feb. 25th, 1889, 17 years ago. But for Mt; McCoy no Sherman county would have been created, and even after the act beoame a law a few hot headed zealots burned him in effigy. W hile out south a few weeks ago Qov Chamberlain bit the Soldier’s home, at Roseburg, and was being entertained by an Old Veteran un awares, and after the O. V. paid the governor and Com B F Pike of this city some compliments for their attentions, he was informed that his guest was none other than Qov Chamberlain, whieh was more pleasant than as if he had known to whom he was talking.. One of the latest big business deals reported from New York is that J J H ill sold his vast iron ore properties in the Mesaba range to the steel corporation. He then bought all the Harriman stock in the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, and Harriman used the proceeds to buy the Illinois Central railroad. In the deals a few hundred millions of new securities were plaoed on the market, and the railroad earnings will pay good returns on them. A musk rat feast brought several hundred idiots together in the old town of Monroe, Mich. The ban quet was given by a model yacht club. After tbe Blalock rabbit chase last week, a dozen or 16 idiots assembled in Walla Walla to fill up on the dead trophies, reek ing with disease. Examinations made by physicians and by veter inarians show that rabbits gener ally are affiected with a tutaroular disease closely resembling tuber culosis. There are running sores Consumption <] There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. 6J From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for c o n su m p tio n .

There is no oil. not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. <J W e w ill se n d y o u a sample free. <1 Be «11« th » t t h e t o n in the form o f • U t a l ■ on th e w m y . per o f every battle o f Zm uleion jo o bay.

Instead of remaining ignorant of the facts and ignor ing other factors, each church must oomprehend all the facts and CO-OPERATE W ITH ALL OTHER FACTORS. The coincidence of these two obligations determines the form of the co-operation. Each church must co-operate with other religious fac tors to A SC ER TA IN all the facts. The foundation of all successful federation ia the co-operative parish plan. Several methods have been found successful. In a village of 1,000 inhabitants the pastor of the one church had a house to house canvass made, its results recorded in a card directory, the territory divided into eighteen districts, with a sec retary over each whose duty it was to report changes, and was thus able to leave to his successor a photograph of religious conditions brought up to date.
