Call or write, i 5, 'HIAWATHA, MAY 16, 1895. The Journal is in receipt of a circular an nounciug a campaign document, monthly, called Thunder and Lightning. It is supposed to be run in the interest of the Pt pulist party but inasmuch as to one likes to bear thunder nor wants lightning to strike any where, it is hoped this will soon run into the ground until it puts on a man's clothes. The 'thunder and lightning" ideas is what is harting the people's cause to day. Some fellow thinks be has an idea that will revolutionize the world and he proceeds to "thunder" to call people to what a great I he is, while on that one idea which is nearly always as thin as rafer and as foolish as the shifting sands he wan's credit for doing great things.

Don't have any thunder and lightning. We have plenty of hard work ahead. There are breakers in the way of selfish ambitions, there are the sharp edged rocks of the old parties that are seeking at every step to wreck the People's patty ship. It is not a time for roar ing thunder, it is time for silent, effective work. We can't c'ub with Thunder and Lightning quietly working, talking and per suading the interests of the masses against the drunkards, the libertines and the convicts now in office is enough work.

The Hiawatha World appreciates a good thing the same as averybody else. It advertises in The Journal this week. Read the -advertisement in another column. London Purple at Miner Stevens'. Lumber is being hauled for the new Baptist church in the Welch neighborhood north of town.

The erection of the building will begin at once and be pushed rapidly to completion. Rev. Boyce of the Presbyterian church preaches fiom the Methodist pulpit next Sunday morning and evening. Dr. McFarland of the Highland university will occupy the Presbyterian pulpit.

A wife of a small patron of the S'nii weekly sheet in Hiawatha gave it the "compliment" to say the Police Gazette colored sheet was not fit to come into any one's house. How ever, it claims to represent the governor. District court loses none of its interest yet. However, all the criminal cases are through. The court is doing a large amount of work this term.

The first few days of the week, however, were almost vacation days, the cases stt for were either settled or negotiations pending and the jury had an easy time for awhile. The following cases have been disposed of since the last issue of this paper: Jessie llaflich vs. Z. J. Bell, bastardy.

De-fandant father of child as charged. State of Kansas vs. Joseph Meruit, Jury failed agree and were discharged. John Friend, who was found guilty of stealing Bert Weatherly's corn was found guilty of petty larceny. This is the case where the family being destitute, the man stole the corn to get out of the country.

It is indeed sad case of destitution and deserves the at tention of charitably disposed people and in stitutions. Walter Powell rs. Kichard Barnes has been settled. That is, negotiations are pendin but no order of court made in regard to the matter. Patrick Casey vs.

Could they be located on their claims and their lands be brought together by adding 6,000.000 acres to the staSb of Maine, we could afford to cede to them that amount of oar territory and ooncede for all time their governmental possession of it rather than tolerate any further increase of that kind of title which we may call land sovereignty by nonresidents overv the domain of the United States. The strange subserviency of our government to other English and Scotch schemes will not be explained tilL we concentrate our attention on the real estate scheme that goes with it. The money lord and the landlord are two distinct classes in England and Europe, but as all excess in land rents above annual expenditures leaves a money lord interest added they are bypothetically one. But this is old talk, and the reader will say, What of it? Well, this is what of it The right of rec lamation of lands unimproved or abased is a natural and divinely approved right which has always and everywhere been recognized in the occupation of the earth by civilized peoples. When the feather crested, breech clouted and blanketed land owner is met by tho dis coverer and the 'authorized" colonists who follow him, there has never been any long winded diplomatio process for making terms with the nominal possess ors of the woods and the soil.

"Are you using it for the purpose of human ity, to support the largest number of first class civilized people?" is thoques tion raised at once and answered by the inquirer himself. William Perm may dicker discreetly and humanely, but even William Penn distinctly implies in all ho does that fair 'terms will be considered, but pre elusion or prohibition will not be considered. Tho Indian had neither the power nor tho right to make the price for his lands, because in the higher sense ho did not own them. Sentimentalists do well to modify their extreme notions: God owns the earth, and ho asserts I113 ownership through the demands of civilized upon uncivilized. people in tbo interest of those who r.ro to be born.

Also ho asserts bis claims through tho masses of any civilized people upon tho nominal owners who have usurped their land rights and either converted them into bunting grounds or despoiled the people who labor upon them. For the right to the earth given to tho many denies the right of wage oppression by the nominal owners. Therefore, whenever or wherever any number of people, either singly or in tands or tribes, with or without titles, whether in fine cloth or iu well tanned skins, interpose their so rights and traditional titles to the earth, the people have the natural right to inquire for their rights and tp recover them. They will be justified in regarding their oppressors as merely the old savage with a new name and new form of title. The question to this new savage will be: ''Are you using tho earth or permitting it to be used for its original purpose? Have you a claim half as good as the Philistines had in the time of Joshua? Are you not just as much 'dogs in the manger' as the tribes of New England and the south Atlantic coast were in the days of the Puritans? Would there be any essential difference between you and your prototypes if you should exchange clothes and wigwams and then swap weapons and the incidentals that go with the bargain? How valuable in the higher market will your children be to their supporters? Will they be worth the cost of their sustenance?" Will the system of perpetual tribute, whether regarding money or lands, be perpetually indorsed, or will all forms of savagery be swept away by the Moses and the Joshua, the John Alden and the Jackson of the new world? A.

J. Chittenden in Chicago Express. On Leading a Meeting. Do not carry the service yourself. Lead it.

If the meeting has not been on your heart, your heart will not be in the meeting. One word fitly spoken is better than an erudite address. Do not "make a speech." The prayer meeting is the place for the communion of saints, and not your eloquence, but your heart experience, is wanted. Have a definite plan, but let it be so flexible that it can be altered at any moment if the spirit of the meeting makes a change desirabla Watch for tho guiding of the Holy Ghost. Let Him lead the meeting.

Never speak or sing or pray merely to fill up the time. That is sacrilege. Have several of the most spiritual members promise to continue in silent prayer throughout the service for the presence of the Holy Spiiit. Lead the meeting, but be willing to let the meeting lead you. Be ready with a verse of Scripture to direct the service should thoughts wander.

Secure an organist who is a good musician, but a better Christian. Do not exhaust the subject with your opening remarks. Better that a dozen members should discuss the snbject poorly than that the leader should preach about it ably. Try something new. See what God can do with a consecrated ingenuity.

Be humble. If you seek to make a reputation for yourself, you will make no reputation for Christ. Go in the spirit of prayer it era. would stand in the spirit of Christ yourself. Let your true nature speak.

What is probably the only society of its kind in the world is in existence at Nalpa Station, Australia. Nalpa Station is GO miles from Adelaide, on the shores of Lake Alexandria, and it is therefore cut off from the usual opportunities for Christian fellowship. But the members of tho household of Mr. Joseph Bonnin have organized themselves into a Christian Endeavor society. This unique organization has been in existence for more than a year, and it has proved an entire success in developing the Christian live3 of its members and in promoting fellowship in the household.

Six active members are now on the rolL This little society takes up a missionary collection at every consecration meeting, and in other ways does good work for those in the "regions beyond." There are three committees prayer meeting, lookout and music Australian Christian World. Society and Pastor. If there is coolness between the pastor and the Christian Endeavor society, the first duty of the members is to inquire what can be done to correct the evil It is not necessary to inquire who is chiefly responsible for it, the'lonly question of practical importance being, How can good feeling be restored? -If the members are desirous of accomplishing this end, they will find some way to do it. In any proper effort in that direction they will find the pastor ready to meet them more than half way. National Presbyterian.

Christian Endeavor Notes. Five hundred Michigan Endeavorers for Boston! The Boston 1895 committee is arranging for a special vestibuled train to leave Detroit and go right through to the convention city. The Baptist juniors of Houlton, have given a window to the new church.

Congregational society. Fifty of the GO members of the First Presbyterian society of Santa Rosa, CaL give to missions according to the 2 cents a week plan. Twenty-seven associate members united with the church during the year. Fifteen hundred invitations are distributed every Sunday afternoon on the streets, in theater entrances, hotels and restaurants by the young people of the First Baptist church of Kansas City. Many souls have been won through this work.

A unique feature of the Boston convention will be the special state headquarters, located in Machinery halL The space will be portioned off among the various state unions, and each will be asked to decorate and fit up its own share in a characteristic manner. Christian Endeavor Clipping. The statistics of English societies for February show the gratifying number of 2.174. "I cannot conceive of any good reason why the principles of Christian Endeavor should not take firm hold on our beloved Protestant Episcopal church," writes an earnest Episcopalian En-deavorer. Some Endeavorers were praying earnestly for months that one of their society might be led to enlist in foreign Cessionary work.

Before long two Endeavorers from that society declared their intention to go to the foreign field when the way opened. The Waco (Tex.) Christian Endeav-orer suggests tnat the Boston convention and the state convention should be continually kept before societies by the information committees, who could report from week to week the progress that is being made by the convention committees. At a recent meeting in the Moody church, Chicago, the juniors outnumbered the young people three to one. The 12-year-old secretary of the junior society led the meeting in a manner that would have done credit to many an older person. The meeting was remarkably successful..
