The Ooinlon of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorsa ontheYarious Topics of the Day. We are not surprised tnat the Press should misrepresent and Wall Street give money to cheek the Alliance, since tbey saw 6,000,000 voters repre sented at the Supreme Council at In dianapolis. One reason why the Alliance is being opposed by some and ono rea son why it will still be opposed, bu- caust itdorf away with 30,000,000 far mers being ruled by 30,000 politi cian.1). That tho sub-treasury plan is work ing the animals in gilded cesisj manifest. Wall street money rings and their bosom friends, the ration al banker, and usurers, me ..shocked and troubled more than they are willing to show or admit.

And because we would ask for laws giving more safe guards auinst such wealth massing schemes, we are told not to have anything to do with politics but truct it all to party and all will come right. Congress conventd Monday, but will not cet to work before next week. Thi nmmiws to hp nnfi nf r ine moss important- sessions evei : held. There ara two very important nuestions it has to deal with, that of free silver, and flexible currency, based on honest labor. These are very Important questions. The times demand some such legislation. The question is, whether the will of the people" will be discarded for the ravor (money j oi van oireew nuu bleated capitalist. But by any means, should the people's wishes and pe titions be treated, as they usually have been, with silence, often con tempt; we predict a Tery different result. The farmers and laboring elasses of the United States have been very forbearing and long suf- ferinsr but timt-s sinco then have W changed, and now it is that forbear- nce ceasei to be a virtue, and if thU Congress, with the aid of a sub ... , - . , , . ,V1 sidired and muzzled press, and mon ey of a corrupt class boldly disregard their rights, we. believe tho people will know why.

The Chronicle gives lhee facts on on the authority of the editor of the Hiilsroro Observer: "Now Mr. J. R. Webber, editor of Webster's Weekly, telegraphs the Chronicle thut Mr. Robert Roan de- noun ies the alleged confession as an unciunlified fal-ehood, and further says that his brother, Dr. Roan, could not have been one of the mur de-Kr?, as he was not in Yancey ville nor anywhere nsar it on the dy the tnurcier was committed.

Indeed, they are the sons ana aaujrlitere or tne ixrd Al mighty. Though now in exile, they shall yet come to their thrones. There are family names that stand for wealth or patriotism or intelligence. The name of Washington means patriotism, although somo of tho blood of that raeo has becomo very thin In the last generation. Tho family of the Medici etood as the representative of letters. The family of tho Rothschilds is significant of wealth, the loss of forty millions of dollars in 1S13 putting them to no inconvenience; and within a few years they have loaned Russia twelve millions of dollars, Naples twenty-five millions, Austria forty millions and England two hundred millions; and the stroke of their pen on the counting room desk shakes everything from the Irish sea to tho Danube. They open their hand, and there is war; they shut it, and there is ' peace. Tho house of Ilapsburg in Austria, the house of Stuart in England, the house of Bour bon in Franco were families of Im perial authority. THE ROXAIi IIOUSH OF JESUS. But I come to preach of a family more potential, more rich and more ex tensive the royal house of Jesus; of whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named. We are. blood rela tions by the relationship of : the Cross; all of us are the children of the King. First, I speak of our family name. When we see a descendant of some one greatly celebrated in the last century we look at him with profound Interest. To have had conquerors, kings or princes in the ancestral line give luster to the family name. In our line was a king and a conqueror. The Star in the East with baton of light woke up the eternal orchestra that made music at his birth. From thence he started forth to conquer all nations, not by trampling them down, but by lifting tliem up. St. John saw him on a widte horse. When ho returns he will not bring the nations cliained to his wheel or m iron cages; out I near tne stroKe of the hoofs of the snow white caval cade that bring them to the gates In triumph. Our family name takes luster from the star that heralded him, and the spear that pierced him, and the crown that was given him. It gathers fra grance from the frankincense brought to his cradle, and the lilies that flong their sweetness into his sermons, and the box of alabaster that broke at his feet. The Comforter at Bethany. The Resurrector at Nain. The supernatural Oculist at Bethsaida. The Saviour of one world, ana tne L;mei joy oi an other. The storm his . frown. The sunlight his smile. The spring morn ing his breath. The earthquake the stamp of his foot The thunder the whisper of his voice. The ocean a drop on the tip of his finger. Heaven a Eparkle on the bosom of his love. Eternity ths twinkling of his eye. The universe th-3 flying dust of his chariot wheels. Able to heal a heartbreak, or hush a tempest, or drown a world, or flood immensity with his glory. What other family name could ever boast of such an illustrious personage? SWIXQ OCT THE COAT OV AltMS. Henceforth, swing out the coat of arms I Great families wear their coat of arms on the dress, or on the door of the coach; or on the helmet when they go out to battle, or on flags or ensigns. The heraldic sign is sometimes a lion, or a dragon, or an eagle. ' Our coat of arms, worn right over the heart, here after shall be a Cross, a I iamb standing nnder it and a Dove flying over it. Grandest of all escutcheons! Meet significant of all family ' 'coats of arm i I In every battle I mast have it blazing on my flag the Dove, the Cross, the Lamb and when I fall wrap mo In thai good old Christian flag, so that the family coat of arms fchall be ri jht over my breast, that all the world may see that I looked to the Dove of the Spirit, and clang to the Cross, and de pended upon the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Ashamed of Jesas! that dear friend On whom my hopes of Ufa depend. Nol whea I blash be this my shaine .. "Thai I no more revere his name. . Next I speak of the family sorrows. If trouble come to one member of the family, all feel it.. It is the : custom after the body is lowered into the grave for all the relatives to come to the verge of the grave and look down Into , It First t hose nearest the departed come, then those next ot kin, until they" have all looked into the grave. So when trouble and grief go down through, the heart of mm pwncbrr of th family they go down through Um n. TU fcadneM of co k Om mJhom of all. A company of persons jgfa hands around an fectrie battery t th two pencwM at th ends of U tin toocb the btt?ry, and all ti eirrle tmU tU fchock. Thos, by reon uf tb fUUL maternal am! paJUrrud rvUtkxxi of Ufa, wo stand so clow tnge-ilitr that when troubU ftet Iu battery all feci th thrill of dbtress.

If yon rejoice at another's mlsfortaM you are not cms of the shsep, bat one of the goats; and tiwraUw of sia bath alighted on your soul, and not the dove of the spirit tux wixz. or jksus. Next I notice the family property, After a man of large estate dies, the relatives assemble to hearths will rsad. So much of the property Is willed to his sons, and so much to bii daughters, and so much to benevolent sodetlas. Our Lord Jevos hath died, and we are assembled today to bear tho will road, lie says, "My peace I give onto you." Through Ids apostto he says, "All are yoorm.1 What I everything? Yes, everything t This world and the nut. In dbttaguialted families there are old pictures hanging on the wall. They are called the "hchiooina" of the estate. They are very old, and have eome down from generation to generation. Bo I look upon all tlie beauties of the natural world as tlie hebiooios of our royal faintly. The morning breaks from the east The ndsts travel Dp bill above hill, mountain above mountain, until sky-lost The forests are full of chirp and buzz and song. Tree's leaf and bird's wing flutter with gladness. Honey makers In the log, and beak against the bark, and squirrels chatU r- uig on the rail, and tlie call of tlie hawk out of a dear sky, make you feel glad. Tho Bun, which kindles con flagrations among the castles of cloud, and sets minaret and dome aflame 6toops to paint tho lily white, and the buttercup yellow, and the forgetmenot blue. What can resist tlie sunf Light for the voyager over the deep I light for the shepherd guarding the flocks afield I Light for the poor who have no lamps to burn 1 Light for the downcast and the lowly 1 Light for aching eyes and burning brain and wasted captive 1 Light for . the smooth brow of child hood and for the dim vision of the octogenarian I Light for queen's ooro- cetandfor sewing girl's needle I Let there be light I Whose morning Is this? My morning. Your morning. Our Father gave us the picture and hung it on the sky In loops of fire. It Is the heirloom of our family. And so the night It is the full moon. The mists from shore to shore gleam like shattered mirrors, and the ocean, under her glance, comes up with great tides, panting upon the beach, mingling as it were foam and fire. The poor man blesses God for throwing such a cheap light through the broken win dow pane into his cabin ; and to the sick it seems a light from tlie other shore which bounds this great deep of human pain and woe. If the sun seem like a song full and poured from brazen instruments that fill heaven and oarth with great harmonies, the moon is plaintive and mild, standing beneath the throne of God, sending op her soft sweet voice of praise, while the stars listen and tlie sea. No mother ever more sweetly guard ed tlie sick cradle than all night long this pale watcher of the sky bends over the weary, heartsick, slumbering earth. Whose is this black framed, black tas sel ed picture of the night f It is the heirloom of our family. Ours, tho grandeur of the spring, the crystals of the snow, the coral of . the beach, the odors of the garden, the harmonies of the air. LET US IXETKCr THK ESTATE. You cannot see a large estate In one momlng. You most take several walks around it , The family property of this royal house of Jesus is so great that wo must take several walks to get any idea of Its extent Let the first walk be around this earth. All these valleys, tlie harvests that wave in them, and the cattle that pasture them all these mountains,- and the precious things hidden beneath them, and the crown of glacier they cast at the feet of : the Al pine hurricane all these lakes, these islands, these continents, are ours. Iu the second walk go among tho street lamps of heaven and see stretch ing off on every side a wilderness of worlds. For us they shine. For us they sang at a Saviour's nativity. For us they will wheel into line, and .with their flaming torches add to the splen dor of our triumph on the day for which all other days were made. . In the third walk go around the Eter nal City. As we come near It, hcjk to the rush of its chariots and the wedding pet 1 of its great towers. The bell of heaven has struck twelve.' It is high noon. We look off upon the cbaplets which never fade, the eyes that never we-ip, the temples that never close, the loved ones that never part, tho proces sion that never halts, the trees that never wither, tho walls that never ean be captured, the sun . that never sets, until we can no longer gaze, and wo hide our eye and exclaim, "Eye hath not seen, norvear beard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for then that love hkar ' As these tides of glory rise we have to retreat and holdfast lest we be swept off and drowned in the emotions of gladness and thanksgiving and triumph. - "- ; ' ; , What think you of the family prop erty I . It is , considered an honor to marry into a f runily where tfeere is great. wealth. The Lord, the bridegroom of earth and heaven, offers tjo his heart and his hand, saying, in the words of the Cantioies, "Rise up, tay Jove, my fair oivi. and come away; and'oxtoe 1 mmmmmmmmm THE WORLDS NEWS uuu rsHUHTED AM) COXDEXHKD FOU UUSY KOPLU.
