In restless youth I railed at Fate With all my puny might? But now I know if I but wait It all will come out right. Though Vice may don the Judges gown And play the censors part, And Fact be crowned by Falsehoods frown And Nature ruled by Art; Though Labor toils through blinding tears And idle Wealth is might, I know the honest, earnest years Will bring it all out right. Though poor and loveless creeds may pass For pure religions gold; Though Ignorance may rule the mass While Truth meets glances cold I know a law complete, sublime, Controls us with its might, And in Gods own appointed time It all will come out right.

There was a meeting of the middle-cf-th- e road Populists in St. Louis January 12th and 13th. Just what was done we have no means of knowing. The newspaper reports were so conflicting that we do not feel warranted in coming to any conclusions or giving any opinions. Certainly in a few days we hope by our next issue we will have something official. When we do we shall review the matter at some length and offer a lew suggestions, probably. Our experience warrants us in withholding judgment so long as our source of information is confined to the daily press. SENATOR CANNON ON MONEY. We take the responsibility of publishing the following letter from Senator Cannon, although the same was not written for publication: UNITED STATES SENATE, Washington, I). C., January Hon. Warren Foster, Salt Lake City, Utah : 5. 1898. My Dear Mr. Foster: I have read your article in the Living Issues under title of No one will reply to The Two Methods. if any will make the attempt I doubt you for your logic is simply unanswerable. When will the world learn the true science of money! It seems as if every other advance is acceptable, but that the eternal truths of the social reform are denied through ignorance, malice or selfishness of those who sway the thought of mankind. While I think that we look at the money question alike in most respects, I cannot accept the idea which some writers adhere to, that we should at once do away with metallic money. The debts of the world are payable in coin and the Shylocks intend to exact the letter of the bond. By stopping the coinage of gold we would merely add to the weight of the burden now resting upon toil. It seems to me that we should enlarge the metallic money of the world as rapidly as possible in conjunction with other money reforms upon better lines so that the debtor and may be able to discharge his obligation, we can when come more the day speedily honest the honest only money rely upon money, money which is based, not on jthe value of its composition as a commodity, but upon the true science of human relation, human independence, the wants and the powers of mankind. You will see from the foregoing that I have been perfectly candid with you I trust that I have learned something on the money been so question during the time that it has the before country. striously agitated Of course I have not written for publication, as so vast a matter as this deserves better treatment than I am able to give to it in the hurried moment now at my command. Frank J. Cannon. Yours sincerely, The Senator seems to fall into the error so common among advocates of metallic moncontinue to use ey, namely, that we must coin money because we have debts that are payable in coin. Now the advocates of coin money all agree that the value of the money rests solely in the value of the metal upon which it is stamped. Of course we do not believe that, but they do. So if they receive for their bonds the full amount of metal of the present standard, weight and fineness, they ought to be satisfied, should they not? We think so. Now, were the Nation to quit using coin altogether, would we not yet have the metal? Could we not pay them off in metal just as though it had not been demonetized? Would it not make the metal cheaper and more easy to obtain? Certainly it would not make it dearer or more difficult to obtain and so long as it does not, we must confess that we fail to see how it would be a burden on toil. Now, dear Senator, suppose all the nations of earth should demonetize gold. Don't you think the price of gold would come down, as you and all free silver men claim was the PLAYED THE DEVIL. The following was published in all the daily papers last Tuesday morning: Chicago, Jan. 17. A special to the Times-Heraldfio- ni Bourbon. Ind., says: Rev. Mr. Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel church, on Sunday night took tor his theme His He is an eloquent man Satanic Majesty. and he painted the arch fiend in vivid colors.

The audience became Men, women and children were hurled to the floor and trampled upon in the mad rush for the door. In the confusion the stove was upset and the building caught fire. Before the horrified members had regained their senses, the fire had made such headway that all attempts to save the church were in vain. This morning George Akin, son of the pastor, confessed that he, in company with other up a devil suit and, knowing the case with silver?
