The Bethel Union Church.

The Rev. E. c. Oggel, yesterday
morning, preached his second sermon
on The Apostles Creed" He ar
gued the importance of beliefin Christ's
divinity To be our Lord, to save us
and receive universal homage He must
be more than human and nartake of the
Divine nature and dignity.
The text in the evening was: "a man
shall be as hiding-place from the
wind and covert from the temptest;
as rivers of water in dry place, as the
shadow Of great rock in weary land"
Isaiah 3a;a. The speaker said,
All who find a resting place in Jesus
Christ, the Rock of Ages, are safe.
The wind may rend the mountain and
the storm desolate the land, but the
beating wave and the raging TEMPEST
cannot harm him whose fortress is in the
Almighty and who abides under the
shadow of the Most High. We are
surrounded with temptations every
day. The aim of the evil one is to
destroy men if he can. Some 60 very

member the quaint story of Dean
Swift, who advertised for a coachman

The political conditions of nation |
depend in great measure upon the |
resources of the country and their de-
velopment. 1t would be an endless
task to enter, in newspaper article on
the subject, into detailed account Of
the wealth and resources of nations.
Hence the only way a short article can,
in any sense, be made comprehensive
is to show by comparative illustration
the results derived from economic
histories.
There is no gainsaying the fact that,
while the labor question enters immedi-
ately with every political movement,
and, that the greatest political problem
which the present is always trying to
solve, is that Of the legislative relations
existing between labor and capital, yet,
both the labor problem and hence cur
rent political issues are dependent up
on the great underlying facts of the
natural resources and physical develop
ments of the country in question.
The resources of country may al
ways be measured by all the vested
wealth it can produce; country's
liabilities may in the same manner be
represented by all the credit it is able
and does obtain. But nations credit,
like an individuals is limited by the vest
ed securities which II is aDle TO furnish.
If a country obtains more credit than
its secureties represent, it stands in the
same relation to the outside CONNER
cal world that merchant stands in
who has overdrawn his bank account.
In either case retrenchment is neces-
sary or inevitable bankruptcy is the
result. 1t is at this point that the
question Of countrys resources
comes in play and directs and infu
ences-nay, dictates-the political and
financial policy OF nation.
The point which we wish to make is
this: That Hawaii has hopelessly in
volved herself in debt beyond the secu
rites afforded by her natural resources
and developments, and is now attempt
ing to keep up expenses without econ.
omy and political retrenchment Can
\ she do it Let us see. Some coun
tries can afford to go into debt
Hawaii cannot. Resources mean tax
able property; taxes, revenue and credit
are convertible terms in political
sense at least.
The United States, for instance
could afford to go into debt millions OF
dollars where Hawaii would not dare tc
ask the credit of one cent Take one
item in the resources of the United
States, and it could, within short
time, he made not only the security oi
a new debt, but be turned into debt
liquidator One hundred millions acres
of fine wheat land are to be found on
the Pacific coast of the United States
and of their large amount the greater
portion still lies untouched AS it
lies, it is vested security. If culti-
vated or fully stocked, it would become
dividend paying investment which
would represent profit as we'll as secu-
rity. Another instance: The live
stock of the United States, which is
valued at $a,455,4s5,oo5, would swal
low up these Islands debts, credits and
all The United States can afford to
go into debt because she has the re-
sources, and because she has political
system which favors their development.
1t will not be hard to make the appli-
cation to Hawaii

The Milwaukee Sentinel says an in
telligent gentleman who has just re-
turned from New Orleans, came on a
train seven cars of which were filled
with the maddest ool-teachers he
had ever experienced. They went
down there after the opening. and of
course were reasonable in expecting
that something was ready. There was
nothing ready except a part of the
horticultural display. The gentleman
says that when he left there was not a
restaurant open on the grounds-and
they are five miles from the center OF
the city. The Wisconsin exhibit was
an incomplete framework. He says
the workmen are slow and only about
half enough are employed. Under the
most favorable conditions, with the
present force and the present manage
ment, the Exposition will not be in
perfect running order before the first
of March. Complaint is made of the
street railway companies, which could
not prevent or postpone strike of the
drivers which was so timed as to leave
some hundreds of Northern school
teachers out at the grounds, five miles
from their boarding places.
The exposition will still prove a sue
cess, so far as display is concerned, but
financial failure is inevitable unless
more energy is shown in completing
the accommodations for guests. Even
the citizens of New Orleans do not pat
ronize it, and will not until everything
is complete. Northern visitors spent
but short time on the grounds, find
ing more to interest them about the
city than among the unfinished build
ings at the exposition. 1t is the adj
vice of the correspondent of The Atlanta
Constitution that people should stay
away until they know the exposition is
in running order. And this is the adj
vice of those who have just returned
from the place.

George Augustus Sala, the celebrated
special correspondent, Wednesday. Jan.

do 1t on the strength of the statement
that am at home and he is stranger,

where. Wherever he goes he finds
thousands who know him. and he is
like snail in this respect, that he car
ries his home with him wherever he
goes" [Great laughter and applause1.
Mr.. Sala was received with applause.
His lecture was essentially &c history,
partly of his early life. He gave a
humorous and serious portrayal of the
"reminiscences and personal experiences
as special correspondent" the main
points being the coronation of Queen
Victoria; the obsequies of Napoleon,
the great ''Coup d'etat," the assassina-
ton and burial of the czar, and the in
vestiture of his successor, Alexander
Ill. The lecture was well received,
and the speaker loudly applauded at
intervals and at the close of the adj
dress.

The Great Bells Of the World.

First in size is the great bell of Mos
COW, in Russia. This is not hung but
stands upon circular brick wall about
five feet high. There is piece broken
out of its south side that one can walk
through the opening. To get an idea
OF its size, draw circle on the ground
Fl feet in diameter, and lay row of
stones around in this line. Then set a
pole up in the center 10 feet high, or as
high as an ordinary story and a half
house, and you will have a good idea
OF its diameter and hight. 1t is well
proportioned like other church bells,
and did not look nearly so large until
we made the above experiments with
the stones and pole. This bell stands
in the Kremlin at Moscow, which is
large square, or circular space. third

South American Trade,

The commission to the Central and
South American States has presented
its report to the President, in which it
recites the manner in which it has per-
formed its duties. In order to secure
more intimate commercial relations be-
tween the United States and the several
countries of Central and South America
the commissions find that there must
be, first, regular and direct steam conf
munication; second, commercial trea-
ties and reciprocal concessions and
tariff duties; third, the simplification
and modification of customs regula-
tons in the Central and South Ameri-
can countries; fourth, the increase and
Improvement Of the Consular service;
fifth, the establishment of American
mercantile houses in Central and South
America; sixth, more intimate knowl-
edge among American manufacturers

and South America; seventh. system
of banking connection and common
standard of value; eighth, more liberal
credits by our merchants; ninth, the
introduction of the bonded warehouse

Something Ahout Earthouakes.

In the current number of Science
fresh interest is given to the subject of
earthquakes winch have lately caused
alarm in both hemispheres, by state
ment of the number of noticeable
shocks in this country during the
twelve years from 1872 to 1888. inclu-
sive. No less than 364 earthquakes are
recorded as occurring in Canada aud
the United States. not including Alaska,
within the above period. Of these the
Pacific slope had Isl, the Atlantic
coast l47 and the Mississippi valley sc.
Thus it appears that an earthquake
occurs about once in every twelve DAYS
somewhere in the United States and
Canada, and about once a month on
the Atlantic coast. These are exclusive
OF the sighter fremors which do not
make an impression on observers. but
which would be recorded by properly
constructed seismometer, an instru-
nlent designed to detect the slightest
shocks.

Base Ball.

While base ball dates its origin back
to the time of the Knickerbocker Base
Ball Club, which was organized in
1854, the game at that time was an es-
sentially different one from the game
now played. TWAS then the rule that
the base runner had to be hit with the
ball in order to be put out, but so many
players We're hurt in that way that the
present ruleof touching the base runner
was soon adopted. 1t was not until the
Nationals, of Washington, made their
famous tour of the country in 1867,
beating the then famous clubs of the
West, until they struck Rockford in this
State, where they were taken into camp
by the Forest Citys by a score Of 20 to
%, that the game became generally
popular, and from that time until the
present it has gained steadily in public
favor. The
NATIONAL LEAGUE
OF professional base ball clubs did not
come into existence until 1876, but at
the present time it is recognized as the
principal association of the kind in the
country. The first year there were
eight clubs in tho league, viz: Hartford,
Boston, Mutual, and Athletic in the
East, and Cincinnati, Chicago, Louis
vile, and st. Louis in the West. The
pennant was that year captured by Chi
cago. with record of fifty-two victories
and fourteen defeats.
In 1877 there were but five clubs in
the league, Boston and Hartford in the
East, and Chicago, st. Louis and Louis
vile in the West. Chicago fell to the
last place in the race, and Boston won
the pennant with thirty-one victories
and seventeen defeats.
In 1873 there were six clubs, Boston
and Providence in the East, and Cincin-
natl, Chicago, indianapolis, and Mil
waukee in the West. Boston again
captured the pennant with forty-one
victories and nineteen defeats.
In 1879 Indianapolis and Milwaukee
dropped out, and Cleveland, Syracuse,
and Troy were admitted, thus making
the league again consist of eight clubs.
This year the pennant went to Provi-
dence with record of fifty-fve games
won and twenty-three lost.
In 1880 Worcester took Troy's place
in the league, this being the only
change. Chicago carried off the PEN
nant. winning sixty-seven games and
losing seventeen.
In 1881 Cincinnati withdrew and De-
trolt was admitted to fill the vacant
place. Chicago again carried off the
pennant with fiftY-six victories and
twenty-eight defeats.
In 1882 there was no change in the
membership, and Chicago walked away
with the pennant for the third consecu-
tive time, it winning ffty-fve games
and losing twenty-nine.
In 1888 Troy and Worcester dropped
out and New York and Philadelphia
took the vacant places. Boston cap
tured the pennant, winning sixty-three
games and losing thirty-five. Since
then there have been no changes. and
last year the pennant was won by Prov

The st. Paul Pioneer Press in n

The st. Paul Pioneer Press in an
editorial on "Our National Strength
and Weakness says:
While favoring any sound ssaggres-
sive foreign policy" we should, in fact,
take into serious consideration our
glaring naval deficiencies. If we take
any bold step outside our own domain
we must have the means to defend our
selves from the foreign argument of
iron and steel clad vessels, Krupp and
Armstrong guns of heavy caliber and
monstrous and deadly projectles. Our
navy is VIGOROUSLY weak. There is
not a vessel in commission of the strict
~ modern type, and even the steel
cruisers building are by no means up to
the highest standard of either speed or
general efficiency. The navy of China
IS to-day superior to ours. That of
Chill is very much superior. We are at
the mercy of Great Britain, of France,
and of Germany on the sea. We have
coast line twelve or thirteen thousand
miles long. New York, Boston, Balti
more, Washington, San Francisco are
practically defenseless. A CHILEAN
squadron could, without difficulty, sink
our Pacific squadron and shell San
Francisco beyond recognition.
A deal of money has been expended
upon the navy since the close of the
civil war in 1865. But the money has
not been expended with Judgment. 1t
has been appropriated in driblets from
time to time, and there has been a
painful absence of any decided prac-
teal systematic plan of providing the
country with n navy worthy of our
greatness and dignity and wealth.
One excellent means of securing the
ends to be desired-the wise expediture
OF money, and practical system in the
management of our navy, is to appoint
man ut the head of the department
who has seen a man-of-war previous to
his appointment, and who has not
spent his days in the interior where the
impression seems to prevail that re-
moteness from the coast, our geographic
cal position, and numerical strength
provide us with sufficient protection
from foreign assault. The heads of all
the other departments seen to be chosen
with special reference TO their fitness
for the position, but that of the Navy
Department has generally been from
private life, and so far as could be
Judged, with no reference to practical
knowledge of naval affairs.

Increase Of Population in Germany.

The German people who were only
25,000,000 in 1876 ARE now 1850, 900,
and their present rate of increase is
greater than that of any European race.
The population, which in France only
increases by rs a year for every 10, 900
and in Great Britain by only 10l, in
creases in Germany by lis, and this in
spite of vast emigration which, since
1916, has carried away $500, 900, mostly
young adults. There is no sign of sus-
pension in this rate of increase, while
there are signs that 1t is much too
rapid for the country to support. The
vast, flat, sandy, wind-swept plain which
makes up so much of northern Ger
many is not fertile; the artisans, though
most industrious. find it difficult to dis
pose of their labor, and in 1882 the
Prussian officials discovered that the
number of heads of families who must
be exempted from direct taxation be-
cause they were earning less than 1926
a year exceeded 100000, and, what
was much more formidable, increased
with every year.
