As It Now Stands. Since Bryan’s nomination, silver has fallen about four cents an ounce and wheat has risen about 20 cents a bushel. This is something that Mr. Bryan dosen’t discuss when he talks to far- mars. The Light of the World. Jesus Christ and Him crucified! This . is the head and front of the Christian religion. It is Christianity itself. Jesus Christ is indeed the light of the Prophets may thunder and creeds perplex; churches invite and apostles disclaim; but the supreme law of Christianity is contained in the words of that sublime figure that stands out upon the horizon of time more prom- inent than any other. The inspiration of the Bible is not de- nied; creeds may be necessary for the discipline of the many; churches may be the rallying point of the Christian circumstance and endeavor. But when God spoke through the sainted lips of His only begotten Son, those words superseded all that came from revela- tion prophecy. There can be no mis- take about them; even the weakest can comprehend and the strongest obey. They are the way, the light and the life, and through them, by them and of them only is the world to be saved. Jesus Christ is indeed the light of the world, penetrating the waste places and making them rich with the beauty that never fades away. It is the same light that made radient the stars that shone over the manger of Bethlehem, and that flecked with glory the clouds that hovered over Cal- mry. It is this light that makes the legions of Christian civilization so. resistless in their onward march. It clears the way for the years that make beautiful the paths of a higher lite, and it shakes the earth with laughter as the snow white flowers of faith spring gently into view. It enters into every sphere of life, and into every incident that fills the world with change. It leaps across the flatbed chasms, filling them with eter- nal glory as it passes on, and upon the hoary heads of gigantic crags it\hangs a crown of deathless flowers It enters into the hovel of the beg- gar, and the stained and battered tim- bers fade away, and in their place are ladders that reach up to the eternal skies. The broken windows are filled with a splendid presence, and the fire- less hearthstone is an altar where the Divine One kneels and prays. The crust of bread becomes the sweetest morsel birth luxury ever offered to its sated ripe. and toe battered cup of water is of the wine that glowed and sparkled at Gena. . it goes to the place where some rude, unlettered man dies for his fellow-man, and forms a shining track over which his soul. walks to immortality. It touches with loving beauty the lonely attic room where some tired and Weary, weak and grieving girl is fight- ing ofi‘ poverty and sin; and it hangs upon the stained walls there the picture of a dying Christ; the stone rolled away from the grave; the light shining from the clouds, paradise, the resurrection and the life. It sweetens the hours of labor, and 4 blesses them with the memory of one who labored for all the world. It eu- o‘oles the days of ceaseless pair. with the light of love from pitying eyes that. for our sake knew pain and grief, and were acquainted with great sorrow. To the heart of great forests this light finds its way, and the church and the school house join hands to work for world. God. It leaps across great Waves when a ship is tossing to and fro, and a sting winds and the waves obey; upon great, springless deserts, where shiiting sands lie in wait for prey, it sheds its rays, and 'weary travelers, feeling the arm of the leighty'under trem, take heart again and find their way onwardx to home and happiness. It lights up the way of the martyr to grim duty, and fills his path with roses sweet and fair. No dungeon is strong enough to keep it .out, and it makes the prisoner’s chains a wreath 0f lilies light with love. Well might the Christ say: “Iam the light of the world.” This is the light that makes glorious the gospel of humanity, and victorious the brother- hood of man. It makes friends of enemies, and brothers and sisters of all. It makes the poor man Equal to the rich, the poor woman stand upon the same plane as the one arrayed in silk and diamonds. It makes one great family of all those who worship God and who, with loyal, loving hearts, strive to do His work here on earth. Political Notes. There will a blaze of fireworks in the New York harbor to-night, during the water parade for sound money. Many Sound Money Democrats in Kentucky resented the attempt to break up Mr. Carlisle’s speech, and declared they would vote for McKinley. Major McKinley was presented with a handsome mirror made by the glass workers of Pennsylvania. ’ Chairman Campau, of the Popocratic executive committre, was quoted as saying that Mark _Hanna was sending men to Michigan to bribe voters, and Chairman Hanna promptly called him a liar. Bryan began his last campaign tour of Illinois, all arrangements for his trip being in the hands of Governor At- geld’s followers. The government has issued a book of reports from the consuls of foreign countries, showing just how wage earners suffer through the depreciating and fluctuating monetary standards. 0..

Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- for these diseases and as it is in general use everywhere they have quit publishing these recipes. No one having a. bottle. of this remedy in the house peed fear an attack of bowel complaint. It can always be depended upon and is pleasant and safe. For sale by E. P. Weed, Druggist.
