THE TWO ANGELS.


God called the nearest angels who dwell with him
above:
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
"Arise," he said, my angels! a wall of woe and
Steals through the gates of heaven, and saddens
all within.
my harps take up the mournful strain that from
a lost world swells;
The smoke of torment clouds the light and blights
the asphOdels.
"Fly downward to that under world, and on its
souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles of sunshine, and Pity tears
like rain"
Two faces bowed before the throne yelled in their
golden hair;
Four white wings hastened swiftly down the dark
abyss of air.
The way was strange, the flight was long; at last
the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world, red
wrapped in rayless flame.
too strong for fear,
Took heart from Gods almightiness and smiled a
smile of cheer.
And lol that tear of Pity quenched the fame where
on it fell,
And, with the sunshine of that smile hope entered
into hell
Two unveiled faces full of joy looked upward to
the Throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who
sat thereon!
And deeper than the sound of seas, more soft than
falling fake
Amidst the hush of wing and song, the Voice
Eternal spake:
my angelsl ye have brought a hOlier
joy to heaven;
1enceforth its sweetest song shall be the song of
sin fOrgiveni''

OF ADVERTISING
PROTECTION IN FRANCE.
How It Has Affected Her Industries and
Her Prosperity.

Her Prosperity.
Perhaps the experience Of France, Q
nation that has steadily adhered to Pro-
lection, may add to the evidence already
given in favor of unwsvering adherence
to the protective policy. At any rate
her experiences are interesting and in
structive to students of the tariff.
At the beginning of this century
France found herself exhausted by
bloody wars of about twenty years du-
ration, and for two years afterward de-
voured by hostile armies and subjected
to an enormous contribution. To all ap-
pearances she was crushed. In three
years she recovered from her suffering
and was among the most prosperous ma
tions of Europe.
''And whence has this mighty change
arisen% inquired an eminent writer Of
over half century ago.
And the reply came promptly: '.She
fostered and protected the industries Of
her subjects This is the only genuine
source of wealth. She submitted in
some cases to pay higher prices for in
ferior articles in the incfpiency of her
establishments than she could purchase
the finished articles from abroad. The
consequence Of this sound policy was
that In short space Of time her own
manufactures arrived at perfection and
were sold cheaper than the foreign"
Over half a century ago, in valuable
work under the title DE PIndustrie
Francaise," the celebrated political econ
omist, Chaptal, said:
"Should we then have abandoned these
attempts at manufacturing superiority
No; we should persist and carry our own
labor to perfection. Such is the course
we have pursued, and such is the skill to
which we have arrived that our industry
has already excited the jealousy of that
nation from which we have derived it."
What has been the result of this policy
70 France?
In 1912 by four branches-the cotton,
linen, woolen and leather-Great Britain
gained clear profit of $315, 600, 900 (see
Colquhoun, Wealth, Power and Re-
sources Of Great Britain" page 91). At
that time. according to Mulhall (see
Progress of Nations" page 245), the
manufacturing industry of France did
not, ip its entirety, amount to more
than $4,000, 900, of which silk stood
for one-half. According to the same
authority it now exceeds S2 ,0SO, ,OO0, 900.

Policy of Cleyeland.s Administration.

Policy of Cleveland's Administration
1t is well known that the most promi-
nent topics advocated in President Oleve-
lands first messages to congress, and in
the reports of his secretary of the treas
ury, related to the reduction of duties
on foreign imports, stopping the coinage
of silver and the retiring of legal ten
der notes. Secretary Manning devoted
three or four columns of his first report
to congress to these questions, and his
policy in regard to tariff is outlined in
the following statement from this report:
''Put on the free list as many articles
as possible. Reduce duties on every du-
table article to the lowest point possi-
ble."
That was the policy advocated by
President Cleveland and the members
Of his cabinet, and it was early incorpo-
rated into the Morrison tariff bill and
discussed by congress during the first
years of Cleveland's administration. But
the bill was not passed because, fortu-
nately for the people, we had a Republi-
can senate that was in favor of protect
ing American industries. A similar bill
was introduced by Congressman Mills
at the second session and the discussion
continued, but that bill also failed in
consequence of Republican senate.
But the agitation of these measures de-
stroyed confidence and demoralized bust
ness in the meantime. Had both houses
of congress been for tariff reform" the
whole country would have been in bank
ruptcy long before this time.
During the ten years ending with the
close Of the last Republican administrs-
ton the balance between our exports
and imports was over $544, 600, 900 in ia
vor of this country, and in the last year
of that administration the balance was
$164, 900, 900 in our favor. But during
the first year of Cleveland's administra-
ton the balance went down TO about
81, ,000, 900, a falling off of sls0, ,0oo. 900
In one year; during the second year to
$23, ,000, ,000, and during the third year
1t went down so that the bslance was
$2S, ,000, 600 against this country. But
since Harrison was inaugurated that
balance has now begun to work thts
way again, and we shall be mistaken II
there is not large amount to our credit
found in our next annual reports.

you wouldn't be a bit better satisfied

INFERNALINGENUI

Could scarcely devise more excruciating
tortures than those of which you see the
evidences in the face of rheumatic or
neuralgia sufferer. The agOnies are the
consequence of not checking rheumatic
or neuralgia attack at the outset. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has been found
by skillful medical practitioners to pos
sess not only remedial. but defensive eff
ficacy, where those diseases exists, or a
tendency to them is exhibited. Surely
this puissant but safe botanic medicine,
bearing, too, such high specific sanction,
is better than the poisons often employed,
but most unsafe, not only in continuance,
but in insulated doses. The blood is de-
purated thoroughly from the rheumatic
virus, and the nerves slightly impurged
upon, saved from ultimate and direful
thrOes by this benign, saving medicine,
which likewise exhibits marked afficacy

cases in favor of the Democrats, although
there was certainty that neither of

AN exchange very truly remarks that
nothing opens so wide door to vice, to
evil, habits of every kind, as the alb
sence of occupation. The downward
course of many promisisg youth, the
ruin of many a hopeful life, may be
distinctly traced to the void caused by
having nothing definite to do. The fac
ulties must be active, the energies must
be at work; and if not employed for
good, they will be for evil.

NO KICKING TOLERATED.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
There is one place, at least, in which
no kicking is tolerated, and that is in
the ROmish priesthood. A recalcitrant
priest is soon brought to terms or speedily
unfrocked. The latest instance is fur
nished in the case of Father Burstell,
the friend and counselor of DR.. McGlynn.
DIR. Burstell, who is widely known as an
authority an the law and polity of the
Catholic Church, did not conceal his
sympathy for DIR. McGlynn even after
that fearless thinker had been excom-
municated. A former parishioner of
the anti ti-poverty champion died suddenly
while attending one of his meetings, and
because of the offense of having listened
to an communicated priest he was
denied burial in his own lot in Calvary
Cemetery. A suit was brought by the
representatives of the deceased, and DR..
Burstell, having been called as an expert
in church law, denied that attendance
at meeting addressed by an excommu-
nicated priest was an offense which
placed person beyond the pale of the
Church.
Archbishop Corrigan found a kicker
on his hands, and he at once ordered
DIR. Burstell from his church in New
York to a country parish. The doctor
thought he knew the law quite as well
as did the Archbishop, and he appealed
to Rome. 1t is announced that the
Pope, after a careful personal examina-
ton of the whole case, has ratified the
action of the Propaganda sustaining the
Archbishop. Now DIR. Burstel, learned
as he is in ecclesiastical law, must either
submit or take the consequences of dar-
ing further to differ with his superior in
authority. One of the points made by
the doctor was that the Church had no
right to control the political actions or
opinions of its members, but without
giving direct answer to this the Holy
Father gives notice, once for all, that
he will tolerate no kickers in the priest
hood.

THE custom of publishing a card,
thanking friends for sympathy and as
sistance during the illness and after the
death of friends is rapidly going out of
style, and very properly. In civilized
communities no neighbor will refuse
his kindly offices at such time, and to
print card of thanks is an intimation,
no doubt, given unwillingly, that such
offices are unusual. If the family is in
debted in more than usual measure to
certain ones, its acknowledgements
should be made privately.

THE Turkish Government has sent a
new note to the British Government de-
manding that it fix date upon which
Egypt will be evacuated by the British
troops without the right of again occu-
pying that country. When the English
fix the date the Turks and the rest of the
world will know that they entertain any
notion of evacuating Egypt, but not till
then. The English are not giving up
any considerable land they may hold at
present in Africa, and they are not
likely to give up any; especially if it is
as valuable possession as the Nile
country.
