New York World: Says Mr. Calvin S.
Brice in his Columbus interview:
I confess my surprise at the course of
the New York World, for its editor
knows me liersonnllv, and ought to know
better than tosupiose me capable of the
things his paper so freely and so reck
lessly charges.
The World knows Mr. Brice as a sharp,
shrewd, successful man of affairs. He is
a credit to Wall street and his class. It
knows one hundred honorable, intelli
gent democrats in Ohio, any one of whom
has rendered the democratic party and
the cause of true democracy ten times
as much service as Mr. Brice. But these
men are poor comparatively, and they
have no chance of advancement to the
senate so long as a man like Mr. Brice
can le found to make lileral expendi
tures for the party. Mr. Brice's best
and most ardent friends based his claims
to the Ohio senatorship in the recent
contest upon the fact that he (Brice) had
.lieen spending money for the party in
Ohio for years. Without this liberal
investment of money Mr. Brice would
nave Lad no more chance of securing a
senatorship than Fred Blankner, the
perennial scrgeant-at-arms of the legisla
ture. He never made a great speech, he
never uttered a great political thought,
he was never identified with legislation,
and he has today no more claim to be
regarded as a statesman than the man
who blacks his lioots. This is what the
World has said of Mr. Brice and what it
will continuo to say unto the end.
Why Not Here, Too?
At Woonsocket, Sanborn comity,
S.
D., the citizens are rejoicing over an
artesian well which began flowing on the
11th, throwing the water nearly twenty-
five feet above the top of the pipe. They
claim the greatest artesian well in the
world. An attempt was made to shut it
off but the pressure was so great it
could not lie managed with the ma
chinery at hand. We clip tho following
from the Woonsocket Times:
The well furnishes from 0,000 to 8,000
gallons of water per minute and is said
to have sufficient power to run a couple
of grist mills of 150 barrels capacity in
addition to its serving the city with a
supply of water and furnishing ample
lire protection. Besides, it there is any
viitue in artesian irrigation the water
can be utilized for that purpose, and
from that source alone will be of incal
cuable benefit to the city and surround
ing country. And right here we may
add that Woonsocket would be a good
point for Uncle Sam to spend some of
his money for experimenting on artesian
irrigation. If it cannot bo carried to a
successful issue in Woonsocket then it
cannot be utilized anywhere. Let the
experiment be made here if any appro
priations are to lie made for that purpose.
This well marks the beginning of n new
era for Woonsocket.
The French expert who is to have
mumigement of tho works sit Grand
Island considers tho soil of Nebraska far
more favorable to the production of
sugar lieets than is that of France or
Germany. The European soils, he says,
contain but three-tenths of 1 per cent of
phosphoric acid, while that of Nebraska
contains 3 per cent, and he estimates
the saccharine quality of the Nebraska
beet at from 12 to 10 per cent, that of
French beets leing barely 10 per cent.
The sugar question is one of great im
portance to the Nation, and specially to
the States of the South and Northwest.

Senator Teller of Colorado has done
a good thing by introducing a bill pro
posing a complete reorganization of the
general land office, to the end that the
work of the office may be brought up to
date and promptly attended to as it
comes. The only way to do this is to
provide more clerks. Dealings of the
government with settlers on the public
lands should be as prompt, as accurate
and just as can be made, and Senator
Teller deserves the thanks of the entire
west for the introduction of this bill.
At Dighton, Mass., Rev. Dyer objected

to pay him. And all this in enlightened

proved by a majority of its members and
the president, was today introduced into
the house by Representative Conger. It
has been referred to the house commit
tee on coinage, weights and measures,
and there is little doubt of its being fa
vorably reported to the house at an early
day. Whether what are known as the
"silver men ' in both parties will an

Senator Quay, as the official head of
the republican national committee, is
understood to be anxious for the honse
to dispose of the world's fair question at
once, for fear that it may have an effect,
if still pending, on the vote in a number
of contested election cases. For instance,
if a sitting member has pledged his vote
to one or the other of tho rival cities, the
members favoring that city will not be
apt to vote to unseat that man. The
point seems to be well taken. Many
congressmen express the opinion that if
the question of location is not definitely
settled before February 1, the idea of a
world's fair will be abandoned.

THE DEVIL.
Who
He Is, What He Is, Where He Is and
What His Rosinem Is.
Ed. Journal: Allow me to write a
few of my thoughts on the above devilish
subject I have often been disappointed
to hear and read sermons on the above
text by men who have made the Bible
their study for years. Why ministers of
the gospel are so unanimous in giving
or allowing the Devil so little power in
this world, or why they treat him so in
significantly and triflingly, is a fact I
cannot understand. I believe that if the
Devil was credited with his proper
power and position in the affairs of all
created things, and the hand he had in
the creation and life of man, there would
be a better disposition among men to
resist his power and cling closer to that
which is good and desirable. Who he is
I believe the Devil is just the opposite of
the Creator, or God; that he exercises
and possesses the same 'power for evil
that God does for good; that he had an
eqnal hand in the creation of all created
things, from the fact that all things are
largely made up of evil. Man was creat
ed by God, we. are told, and we are also
told that the Devil slipped in at a criti
cal time and spoiled the job, and ever
since man has been a compound of evil
and good. We are told that the wages
of sin is death; that accounts for the
misery that man is put to in this life,
sickness, trouble, vexation, disappoint
ment and suffering lieyond enumeration.
The fact that the Devil had a hand in all
created living things is proven by the
fact that every living thing must and
does suffer untold misery and torture.
Even the earth on which we live and the
planets above are often and at various
times in commotion, storms, earthquake,
thunder and lightning, etc., while as
tronomy teaches that among the planets
similar commotions are often in opera
tion. God made nothing bad or evil,
neither did he make anything imperfect,
therefore the evil power, or Devil, did.
To prove the fact that the Devil had and
has an equal power, the same power for
evil that God has for good, take the cre
ation, life and death of Christ. We are
taught that Christ had the same temp
tations and passions of man, was subject
to all the sufferings of man, and the
Devil took him up in an exceedingly
high mountain, etc., that Christ's suffer
ings were beyond anything endured by
man. before or since; that he sweat great
drops of blood in his agony. But God,
in this case, scored a victory over the
Devil, and made it possible for good to
overcome evil, which was not the case
before, for the Devil was on eqnal
ground. Who can wonder that there
was so great and fearful amount of suf
fering required to accomplish such a
great result.
Where he is. As I once heard Elder
Knapp, a noted Baptist preacher, Bay:
"He, the Devil, was in every man's bos
om." I think he is not only there, but
every other place, and in the bosom of
of all living things, earth and planets and
space. The evil, or Devil, like the good,
or God, pervades everything and is
everywhere. Whoever can locate good
or God, can also locate evil, or the Devil,
for one is directly opposite the other.
What he is. Ministers of the gospel
are in the habit of picturing God to be
some great, good and powerful man that
stands on the lofty clouds and rides on
the whirlwinds, etc. To describe God in
any such insignificant way is ridiculous.
Why not point to the fact that there are
millions of worlds larger than this on
which we live, and that weigh billions
of tons each, and all ride in space with
out end, and all are held and directed by
his mighty power, for there is no word
that will or can illustrate it letter with
which we are acquainted. God is power.
Whoever can define power, can define
God, and whoever can define iower can
define the Dev.il. He is represented as
the power of darkness; that would seem
to be black and awful, while God is rep
resented as the power of light, that
would seem to be bright and glorious.
Taking this view of the case, who is it
that wouldn't say, "Devil, take your
darkness and power of darkness and de
part to the uttermost depth, out of sight
and hearing, I want none of yon?" the
fact is we do not understand or compre
hend our position, and our only salva
tion is this power of light and the ad
vantage gained over the power of dark-
jiess, or evil, by the advantage and vic
tory gained in the creation, life and
death of Christ. Man, with his weakness,
'smallness and insignificance, compared
to the power and magnitude of this earth
and its surrounding wonders with the
immensity of space that is above us, is
utteriy beyond our comprehension, and
why man should be at the same time, a
being of so much importance, is another
of the greatest mysteries, unfathomable
except that God created him in his own
image. That means by power of good
sufficient to overcome evil.

the pores of the skin and leaves the sys
tem in such a condition that another and
much more severe cold is almost certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons of all ages, has folly demonstrat
ed that there is nothing better for a
severe cold than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It acts in perfect harmony
with nature, relieves the lungs, liquefies
the tough tenacious mucous, making it
easier to expectorate, and restores the
system to a strong and healthy condi

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory of the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of
the great alterative and tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of kidneys
