10 the minister's morning sermon
he had told OF the primal fan, ~
And how thenceforth the wrath Of God ~
Rested on each and ALL ai4l t3ti
And how, OF his viii and pleasure,
All souls, save a chosen few,
Were doomed to, the quenchless burning,
And held IN the way thereto.
Yet never by faiths nnreason
A salntlier soul was tried,
Aud never the harsh old lesson
A tenderer heart belIed.
And, after the painful service

lie walked with bis lttls daughter
Through the apple bloom Of May.
Sweet In the fresh green meadows 1l

Above him their tinted petals
The blossoming orchards hung.
Around on the wonderful glory W
The minister looked and smlled;n
'How good Is the Lord who gives us .e
These gifts from Hls hand, my childt
Behold in the bloom Of apples Z
And the violets IN the sward
A hint OF the old, lost beauty
OF the Garden OF the Lord Z" 5r
Then up spake the little maiden,
Treading on snow and pink:

Are very wicked, think. si.'iit
"Had there been no Garden OF Eden
There never bad been a fall;
And II never a tree had blossomed,
God would have loved as all" t

No more as the cloudy terror

But as Christ In the Syrian lilies
The vision Of God Ne saw.
And, as when, in the clefts OF Horeb, -
OF old was His presence known,
The dread Iuenable Glory
Was Infinite Goodness alone.

Thereafter his hearers noted f..
In his prayers a teuderer strain,

Burned on his lips again.

against Mr.. Cleveland rs that re.
Gently he referred to the con-
federate soldiers as "rebels," thus
grossly insulting the whole south,

call them all Yankees no special
significance being attached TO those
terms In either case. Horace Gree
ley had called us rebels thousands
of times, but the south supported
him for the presidency in 1872, and
probably Mr.. Pugh himself voted
for Greeley. The anti-Clevelandites
must find some less ridiculous
grounds for opposing the great New

Rural New Englanders of the
present day seem TO have well-nigh
abandoned the church-going habits
Of their forefathers. AZ the annual
meeting Of the Maine Bible Society,
reports were received from the field
covered by the society's work, em-
bracing the six counties Of Aroos-
took, Franklin, Lincoln, Penobscot,
Somerset and York. In these coun-
ties 1866 families have been visit

went to church. They were not
foreigners, either, as the foreign
born element in those counties is
scarcely ten per cent. of the popu-
lation. This is a startling proof OF
the great decline of piety that has
taken place among the descendants
of the Puritans. a

Austin Corbin's Scheme for Fast Steamship

Austin Corbin's Scheme for Fast Steamship
Line to Europe.
NEW YORK, March 1O.-An editorial will
be published tomorrow In the Seaboard,
giving an outline of Austin CUrbin's latest
scheme for swift service from Moutauk
Point, L. l.. to Milford Haven, England.
The plan is to build eight frst-class steam
ships Of 1900 tons each, ali to be of steel,
to be constructed in American ship yards,
and to be capable of making twenty-four
knots an hour. By these ships it is hoped
to make the distance between Montauk
Point and Milford Haven, 27Sl nautical
miles, in less tlIan five days From New
York City a train of the finest vestibuie
cars will whisk passengers in two hours
time to Fort Pond Bay, where deep wat er
will all0w the heaviest draught ocean steam
ships to lun close in shore. The passengers
and baggage Hill be taken aboard
these ocean monsters and inside of
five days be landed in Milford Haven,
where another express train will land the
passengers in London in two hours. In
order 10 make the best possible time these
steamers will not carry heavy freight. but
will limit their cargoeS to light parcels and
mails. Within two years, according to the
Seaboard, the first four OF these new steam
ships will be in commission, and it is
promised that they will eclipse anything
allOat IN elegance, safety and speed. 1t is
said that COrbIn has all his plans perfected
for this great enterprise, AID will see the
Secretary of the Navy ut once in order to
get his ap roval of the designs for the new
ships, in order that they may conform in
every particular to the provisions set forth
IN the Postal Subsidy Bill. The four ships
already projected will cost in all 1900, 600.
1t is expected that they will make one round
trip every three weeks, and that two de-
partures will be made every week from b0 til

Special to THE MORNING CALL

SPRINGFIELD Qll.), March 10.-There ap-
pears no doubt tonight that John NJ.
Palmer (Dem.) will be elected to the United
States Senate tomorrow. After long talk
with General Palmer this afternoon, Rep
resentatives Moore and Cockrell issued a
lengthy address to their party the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Asso tiation) setting forth
the efforts they have made to secure the
election of an Independent candidate to the
Senate, their efforts with the Republican
party and their attempt to elect Sreeter.
They 90 on to say that the Republic ans
have secured from Streeter such concessions
and promises as would, if carried out en-
tircly unfit him for conscientiously repre-
senting the principles of the Farmers party.
Finding it absolutely impossible to elect an
independent, they have concluded that their
next duty is to elect 4 man who, while not
representing the principles of their organi-
zaton in flll. is in sympathy with many of
their demands and concedes the needs
OF redress in legislation which has grown
up under the rule Of corporations and
monopolists. Becoming satisfied we could
not elect man who would fully represent
our people. we to-day called on Mr.. Palmer
in the interest of our people, TO ascertain
what assurances and hopes he would give
us in regard to his future official action
affecting such legislation as our people de-
mand. This interview, we must say, was
satisfactory even beyond our expectations
While he does not fully represent us, he has
forced US to believe he is an honest man.
We are more firmly convinced than ever
that the future prosperity and happiness of
this country depends on the success and
growth of an independent party. An inde-
pendent pol teal movement by the tOiling
millions is the only hope nf the people. In
view of the facts above stated we will to-
morrow cast our votes for John NJ. Palmer
and bring this prolonged contest to a close"

Infantry with Young bucks of the Sioux
tribe before the departure of the regiment
for its regular station in California, bat
after a months canvassing the regiment
finally departed without its indians. They
objected to going so far away from their ma

duty of infantry soldiers. They all want to
be cavarymen if they enlist at all. But it
has been demonstrated that few, If any, will
be willing TO enlist in either arm unless they
are sure Of a station near their tribes.

Hints That the Rothschilds May Cause the
Government Some Trouble.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 10-Semi-offi-
cially the Novoe Vremya has taken up the
hint that if the Rothschilds espouse the
cause OF the Hebrews it means financial
pressure upon the Russian Government, and
publishes long, venomOus article, stating
that the Rothschids themselves have given
hostages to the Russian Government, in so
much that they now own practically all the
naphtha springs of Baku. and have arranged
with the American Standard Oil Company
to divide the markets of the world. The
Nov0e Vremya then says: Russia would
not fail, in the event of financial troubles, to
give a Roland for an Oliver. Since the Lon
don Mansion House meeting, which ex-
pressed sympathy with the Hebrews aud re-
suited in sending memorial to the Gar,
the severity of the anti Jewish penal laws
has redOubled in vigor. and when written
laws are inadequate arbitrary laws replace
them. In view of these prosecutions about
100, 600 of the poorest classes of Jews have
embraced Russian orthodoxy.
