solilOquies of Clymer the lover and

piled the Office with legal blanks stood
aghast at this time at the number con-
sumed in what was technically known
as Cupid's department.

accused of throwing them into the
waste-b basket.
And it is true that they did go there,
but not until a deal of labor had been
expended upon them, not until the
blank spaces revealed the fact that
Clymer Ames, who lived in certain
city, township, county and State, and
who was of such and such an age, and
without legal hindrance or incumber-
ance of marital sort, received here
with permission from the clerk to marry
Miss Lydia Eastwater, whose qualifca-
tons were then set down.
One day a stranger entered the
Office.
Man of importance, of property, of
temper and enthusiasm" said the
clerk to himself after his usual manner
of summOning up his customers.
II want marriage license" said
the young man gayly and peremp-
torily.

perfunctOry, but actually throbbing in
sympathy with the happy young ami.

The clerk went on filling out the
rest of the blank and did not move a
muscle. The lover--but there was no
lover except the man who went out
swinging his shoulders as he went.
And so the peace of Cupid's survitol
became, as was mentioned at first, like
a batch of bread made of stale yeast
And though he works for love, he and
his clerk do not speak when they meet
and the capricious boy has even beer
seen to fold his wings closer about him
with an air of contempt when he looked
at Clymer Ames, clerk of the cour
and issuer of marriage licences.

A Patient Mother.

Did you ever see a small boy who

didn't, unless you were born blind.
1t was a boy in this instance and he
was in the waiting room of a station
with his mother, half an hour before
train time. He had exhausted all the
subjects suggested by his surroundings
and came down to himself.

There is in England body entitled
"Isrel's Identification Association"
which seeks to show that the lost ten
tribes are the British people. An adj
dress has been delivered before it by
the Rev. Philip Carlyon, who argued
that the ten lost tribes migrated from
the regions near the Euphrates to the
Carpathians, from thence to the shore
of the Baltic and thence in the course
of time to England, so that the ancient
English were of Hebrew origin. The
Rev. Mr.. CarlyOn quoted from the
book of Esdras the statement that the
item Lost TribesD wandered across
I'll e sources Of the Euphrates to a

Socialism Bound to Come.
THE REV. H. NJ. BARTLETT DISCUSSES
THE SUBJECT AT WASHINGTON.

NE u BJ Ell All WASH lNCfT0N
At the meeting Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church Congress in Wash
lngton last week the matter of Social
clallsm was discussed. The Rev. II.
NJ. Bartlett, of MOntchanin, New Cas-
tie county, was one of the speakers.
He declared that given christianity
democracy was sure to come. After
democracy, socialism would come. The
writing was so plain that all could
read. 1t was only the present century
that the worlds fourth estate-labor-
had come to be appreciated. ALWAYS
the hrst to feel the stress of evil times.
alwast the last to appeal against their
hard lot. Among the members of this
estate Christianity had first taken root.
Now 1t demanded a fair distribution of
the worlds wealth. Its demand was
the great issue of the hour; it had
been delayed until there was wealth
enough for all It's justice spoke for
Itself. 1t was an unmistakable evil
dence that the faith of Jesus Christ was
stirring the waters.
1t was impossible to say what forms
OF socialism, in its development, would
take. 1t might be sometimes redicu-
lous and sometimes dangerous. That
had been true of religion and with all
reformatOry grOwths. Socialism must
fight its way against the powerful in
tuenCes that ever beset a reform. 1t
bad no hope of final success, unless it
could prove itself reasonable and prac-
ticable. We were already well along
toward socialism, the movement could
not be stopped and should not be fear
ed. 1t was in perfect accord with that
line of progress that ran through the
history of AnglO-Saxon development.
DIR. Bartlett rapidly sketched the
growth of sOcialistic practices, particu-
larry in municipal government, where
the good results were so manifested that
no one would refer to the old systems.
He referred succintly to the legislative
history of the national government of
late years as largely socialistic, embod-
ing as it did laws for the protection of
certain classes of people, laws against
adulteration, laws to regulate COM
merce. 1t had come to pass that Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, the great
English Parliamentarian, had said I'VE

Immortality.

SO sometimes comes to soul and sense,
The feeling which is evidence
That very near about us lies
The realm of spiritual mysteries.
The sphere of the supernal powers
Impinges on this world of ours,
The low and dark horizon lifts,
To light the scenic terror shifts.
The breath Of a diviner air,
Blows down the answer of a prayer
That all our sorrow, pain and doubt
A great compassion clasps about.

To the future distant shore.
In COlumbias land of freedom
May it knock at every door,
With some comprehensive blessing,
In which all may take a part.
SO that, in the home of freedom,
There may be no aching heart.
We shall welcome its arrival,
When ourselves we strictly school
In the precept and the practice
or the SaviOur'S golden rule;
When an honest son of labor,
A mechanic poor commands
More respect than wealthy sluggards,
With their jeweled idle hands.

have been driven from the waters.
When Mr.. Potter was a boy ships
were made of wood. IniS material was
more abundant in America than in England.
Consequently the American builder had
certain advantage over the European
builder. His cheaper material enabled him
to make ships al little less cost than his
foreign competitors. Now ships are made
Of iron and steel. But few wooden vessels
are in the ocean carrying trade. Iron is
cheaper in England than in America, and
this change in the cheapness of materials
reverses the conditions under which cOmpe-
titiOn is carried on. Again, presuming that
Mr.. Potter was boy or young man in the
fortieS, the United States was at that period
of his life under strictly revenue tariff.
Protection to American industries had not
at that time increased American wages.
Mechanics could be hired at 81 day, and
farm-hands at SI2 a month. The cost of
sailing American ships was not then greater
than the cost OF sailing British ships. Nat
urally, therefore, with cheap material to
build ships with and cheap labor to sail
them with, we got our share of the ocean
carrying trade. The question then arises if
the country was better off forty years ago
than at present. That is ii matter of statis-
tics which have been published time and
again. Mr.. Potter may consider that the
ocean carrying trade is test of prosperity,
but it is really only a test of relative cheap
ness. The country does the ocean carrying
t. de which will do it at the lowest cost. In
other words, a people that have nothing bet
ter to do contend for an industry open to

THE san FRANCISCO CALL.

We copy the following editorial from the
ColuSa Herald of a recent date:
The san Francisco CALL is on fast
track and its city contemporaries are snap
ping at its heels trying to make it break, but
its proprietors have the satisfaction of glanc-
ing back over their shoulders and seeing the
breach widening between them that will
soon develop into genuine "distanced."
In this saton-loving age, when metro
politan journal has the backbone to furnish
all the news and at the same time set up a
standard of morality far above that of its
contemporaries, and refuses to cater to the
tastes of the bnser elements Of society, it
should receive the hearty support of all low
ers OF the home
1t would seem that most of the papers in
our large cities had arrived at the conclusion
that the nearer they can approach the Boo
cacciO ideal, the larger their patronage. The
days Of rea ding in the home circle the daily
papers is almost thing of the past. 1t is
not mock modesiy when we say that there
are daily papers in San Francisco, calling
themselves legitimate journals, which par
ents-not even the propretors themselves
would read aloud in their families nor in
mixed company. We are glad TO note that
THE CALL is fast becoming the home paper
OF all the city press. No one need have any
fears of evil results from allowing it free ac-
cess to the family circle. That this stand
taken by The CALL is appreciated can be
readily seen by the very large advertising
patronage it receives. Advertisers are de-
sirous of reaching the homes OF the masses,
and the homes are DESTROYS Of having a fam
lily paper that is free from those elements
that tend to poison and corrupt the mind,
and The CALL comes as nearly filling that
want as any metropolitan paper we know
of. We hope that paper Will stick to the
stand it has taken, and its efforts will surely
he crowned with tie success it deserves.

THE mARKETs OF THE WORLD.

The Hon. Thomas Bayley Potter. Presi-
dent Of the Golden Club, has told an Ameri-
can reporter why the Mckinley tariff can
not hurt English industries. "If our trade
is cut down in one direction" says this
hopeful member of Parliament, sit is
opened up in another. When the American
markets have been closed to US we can turn
with confidence to other markets." Two
conditions are necessary to the realization
of this sanguine view of things. First, that
the markets of the world are practically
without limit; second, that the first choice
is no better than the second. The weight
of evidence is that neither of these con-
ditions exist The markets OF the world are
not practically without limit, nor is there
any other market not already occupied to
be compared to the American market Mar
kets may be created in time in Africa, but
the known portions of the world are already
crowded with merchandise to the extent of
their capacity to purchase. Whatever En-
gland loses, therefore, in our market is
dead loss. They were doing their best to
supply the markets of the world when the
present American tariff law was enacted.
Mr.. Potter goes on to illustrate the workings
of the protective policy in the United States
When Mr.. Potter was a boy he found the
American flag in every port. American
vessels were TO be met with the world over.
But the high tariff on ships and on
the materials that 90 to make ships
has changed all that. American ships

A CORRUPT JURY WANTED.

The struggle in San Francisco is between
those PERSONS on one side who have been in
the habit of manipulating our juries and
the people on the other IL is believed that
we have Grand Jury at the present time
whose members are not controlled by those
interests which have in the past bribed
Legislators and municipal officers, hut will
do their duty fearlrssy. Under such cir
cumStances IT should be expected that those
who have prOfited from dishonest acts would
try to break the Grand Jury down. This,
in the opinion of The CALL, is precisely
what is now being done. Get rid of the
present Grand Jury, and what win come
next? Simply a Grand Jury made up in
such a way that it can be used. Judge
Wallace undOubt div realized that the jury
box contained names which had been placed
there for the purpose of being used, and
that if a Grand Jury was made up entirely
from that source no indictments could be
found against persons who had been guilty
of bribery. This is where the contest now
stands. Hence a class of persons are
trying 10 get rid of il, so as to have new
Grand Jury organized containing certain
number of members who will be controlled
by the bosses or by the use OF money. The
public who are familiar with our jury
affairs understand this subject perfectly.
And our Judges must also understand it;
but some Of them probably believe they are
not strong enough to meet the pressure
which will be brought to bear against them,
and they give way tn the corruption which
for the time being seems 10 have the upper
hand, while others are believed to be actual
ly corrupt. What should the public do
under such circumstances ? THE CALL
says, act pTudently. Commit ne mistakes,
but carefully scan the acts of every judge
%ho has anything to do with the corruption
cases, or in the efforts to get rid of packed
jures. 1t is the privilege of the people to
assemble in public meetings. and to devise
what measures are necessary to sweep out
of existence the dishonesty which now pre-
walls We realize that the knaves are
strongly entrenched, and that they have
beer in the habit Of sneering at all efforts
to bring around an honest administration Of
public affairs, but we may rest assured that
a change will take place, for such CORFU. ton
as has been practiced here for some time
past cannot ALWAYS continue.
