FORCES.

THE AGES OF SMALL THINGS AND OF GIANT
FORCES.
Young gentlemen, you step out into a
present which is an advance upon the past,
and you look TO a future which will excel
the present The world grows better as it
grows older. The onward march of time is
the march of both material and moral prog.
ress. The general level is constantly rising
If the Mount Washingtons do not seen to
tower around Us when we look far behind
it is because we are all up on the table land.
We have different perspective, and we have
different conditions. Our fathers lived in
the shadow and solitude of the tallow din
and the stage coach; we live ID the glare OF
the electric light which reveals every wrin
kle. Our fathers lived in the day of small
things, we live in the age of giant forces.
1t is true We suffer from the evils which
they could not know-evls which come
with the growth of wealth and population
and power; from speculative greed and cor
porative ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and ring capaci
ty from the vices of great cities and the
struggles of great conflicting interests. But
it is equally true that the compromising
gains far outweigh these evils. Never was
education so broadly diffused; never was
the right of independent Judgment SO freely
exercised; never was the scepter of politi-
cal chief or the creed ofparty convention SO
toned and swayed by intelligent public
opinion never were the alert sentinels of
public journalism so vigilant or impeled
by such high sense of responsibility; new,
er did bgotry and passion, whether in
church or state, exert SO little influence;
never did philanthropy and charity spread
SO far and wide the mantle of the sweet
ness and ligbt.-Chdrles Emory Smith at
Union College.

A StraightOut Democrat.

To Hon. B. Harrison, President, sc.
Sir: By the grace of God and Grover
Cleveland l am postmaster at Mt. Carm 81.
NV official term will expire January. 20, 49,

While the Office has agreed with me, and
I in the main agreed with the office, and
while I might reasonably entertain the
hope of holding on foreight months longer,
yet feel it my duty to tender you my res
ignation.
Being democrat, I have preached that
'to the vlctors belong the spoils." I feel
disposed to practice what preach.
Your immediate predecessor hoped to
build up his party by keeping the opposi-
tion in Office. You are probably aware, if
you are at all familiar with the vocabula-
ry of true and trite sayings, that his name
is now Dennis.

resignation because of the anxiety of barn

lieve that tariff is tax. They do not.
Therefore, they are of your own kith and
kindred, and he who provides not for his
own household is worse than an in6del.-
I am told that you are not built that way.
But to resume the thread of my discourse:

When asserted that you were the China
mans candidate, and ate rattailsoup with
chop sticks, they swore by Dudley and

threatened to detail blocks of five to fry the

none of which would they have been guilty
of doing had they not scented an aroma OF

the peans of praise which they sounded
when it became evident that you chad got
there, Eli" will never be Sahara in my
memory.
For these and other reasons unnecessary
to mention, 1 tender my resignation, with
the hope that my successor will be ANNA

In memory OF MISS b w. aged IL.
God called to the seraphim close by His throne
AS they bowed in obeisance before;
And He said speed away where the night
spans the day,
And bring me one angel the more.
Though tempests may break and rain.clouds
will weep.
When the earth yields her fairest and best,
Unscathed thro' the storm ye will bring back
the form
or this soul to It's heavenly rest.
By the River of Life she shall wander at will,
And the feet which were weary SO long
Shall tread through the bowers Of unfading
flowers,
And the beautiful face serene thro' the pain,
While the soul struggled hard with its clay,
To the gathering fold of my arms will hold.
And wipe every tear-drop away.
And the shadowy hands that were wax en- and
thin
Like the leaves of lily that's spent.
They shall work for my praise in the mercifu
ways,
That my saints on their missions are sent.
Then comfort your hearts, o, grief. stricken
ones.
AS home-driven dove to its nest
She hath joy in the peace OF her souls glad
release,
In that sun-fadeless land to the west.
And when ye would enter its portals of light,
Wide, wide, she will hold back the door,
AS saint undefled God hath chosen YOU
child,
When he needed one angel the more.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

Dun a. Co.'s Agency Report an Improve
lnent aud Increased Activity.
The review of trade for last week as re-
ported by r. G.. Dun K Co.:
Trade during the week was undisturbed by the
monetary pres suro often experienced near the
end of the year. and was ON the whole improved.
The long fores hado red break In wheat specula-
tion came but there was some recovery; sales
at New York amounted to but IL OOO,OJO bushels
for tho woek. and it Is still uncertain whether
prices declined enough to permit marketing OF
the large surplus this country has on hand.
Enormous crops in Russia and the Danubtan
states, with lower freights, keep European
pIi ceB low, and there Is constant unloading
by operators throughout Europe who bought
was steady with sales OF 600 bales and coffee
unchanged, with 900 bags sold. break in
oil dropped the price 519 cents, and rehned also
declined 10 cents per 100 gallons. No monetary
pressure forced liquidation throughout the
country the money markets are amply supplied,
though slight closeness Is noted IN st. Paul, ana
frequency OF failure causes uneasiness at Men,
phis The Treasury is still putting out more
money than it takes in-Sl, 2OO 600 during the
week. The excess OF exports over Inn
ports for November reached 81, 5l0-
34 merchandise and 80, 4l5,4l5 gold Trade
accounts from the int erior were generally
satisfactory. The ir on, steel, and coal trades
ut Pittsburg were dull. Cold weather at Omaha
Reports OF railroad traffic show the east-bound
shipments for the week were Ill 900 tons, the
largest ever exported, against $4,000 tons for the
corresponding week last year. Earnings con-
fidonce, rather greater indeed, than the present
state of prices and rate Of consumption In some
of the important industries appear to warrant.
The business failures numbered 299, as against
81 the week before, and $50 the week previous.
For the corresponding week OF last year the hg-
nra wa
