It cannot be denied that the general
trend Of thought in these days of rapid
evolution must have an important eff
feet upon the moral status as well as
upon the physical and intellectual life
of the nation. I see no sign Of danger
yet in the broader soul liberty which
has come in with the last years of the
century, writes III. r. Chamberlain in
the C~hautauquan. It is q liberty which
does not mean license in any sense. It
has driven out Of the moral code all
suggestion that pleasure as such is
open ITO suspicion Of a vicious faint.
Asceticism has disappeared, but a high
er recognition Of our duties to our fell
low-men has taken It's place.
With the tremendous influence of re-
ligious sentiment tending in this direc-
ton, the effect upon the moral convic-
tions of the people at large cannot fail
to be uplifting. We have scarcely felt
or recognized yet the practical mani
festations of this salutary influence. I
believe they will be potent when devel-
oped and that they will fe-enforce
abundantly some OF the neglected divis-
ions of the army of virtue.

PURITY IN POLITICS.

But when the very fountains OF
legislation are polluted by lobbying
and other corrupt means; when the
hand Of bribery is extended, and not
always in vain, to our municipal,
State and National Legislators; when
our Lawmakers become the plant
tools Of some selfish and greedy capt.
.alists, instead OF subscribing the inter
'ests OF the people-then, indeed, all
patriotic citizons have reason to be
alarmed about thefuture OF our coun-
try. The man who would poison the
welle and the springs Of the land is
justly regarded as q human monster,
as an enemy Of society, and no pun
ishnent could be too severe for him.

TOY DOGS OUT OF FASHION.

Three Queer stories About Them tho
Truth OF Which L. Vouched For.
Toy dogs have gone out Of fashion,
fortunately for the reputation for sense
of q great many women who were
tempted TO do very foolish things while
the craze lasted. Stories of these little
autocrats are still floating about. Here
are three whose truth is solemnly
vouched for by the New York Tiraes:
At a luncheon at which were present
three women of one family-a mother
and two daughters--it was noticed that
every one of the three declined the lit
tie articles OF dessert, jellies, cakes and
the like, and the neighbor of one of
them had the curiosity to ask the cause.
80" was the reply, poor little Mar
uuis wa i'll all night, and, as the dear
little soul may not have any Of these
goodies he loves 30 dearly, we just
haven't the heart 10 take any our
selves"
Story No. Q was Of q Sardy pair at a
formal dinner. When the company of
guests had waited nearly half an hour
and az last the hostess gave up the
missing ones and all were seated at the
table the pair appeared. The explana-
ton from the wife was that sit was
quite too bad, but Bijou would not let
us leave, and we had to wait until the
little fellow was a5leep."
The third tale is Of a.dog whose sicle'
ness aud death created intense excite
ment. The absent husband was pur
sued oil day with kilograms, baby was
sick, baby was worse, baby was dying
and finally baby was dead. Then caInt
q private funeral of more or less cerc
mony, and afterward baby's mistress
! appeared in conventional mourning.
1t is certainly time that toy dog,
went out of fashion.

Guilty Women.

Father Andre, a distinguished
French priest, once while preaching
against the too free Indulgence in
Irritation among the lady members Of
his congregation, threatened to di-
vulge the name Of one present as DO
ing the most culpable in this respect:
but feigning to pity her dread of exl
posture by this means gave out that in
charity he would only throw his skull
cap in the direction Of the scat oocu
pied by TIE lady for whom his special
remarks were meant.
AS soon as the preacher raised his
hat as though to throw it every
woman in the church is said to have
dacked her head. - Boston Herald.

Whom Now Zealand Sinka.

It was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for a new island to
appear above or an old n to disappear
beneath the waves of the Pacific ocean.
Such occurrences were sometimes noted
as often rs two or three times o year,
and were 30 common Is to hardly ex-
cite comment among navigators and
scientists. Of late, however, the Pacific
has been "paci6c" indeed. It will be
thirty-six years this coming summer
since the last island disappeared, nnd
exactly q quarter Of a century since the
last new one popped up its head in the
greatest of oceans" But geologists
argue that this is a suspicious silence,
an omen Of some INDUSTRIOUS catastro-
phe, that Dame Nature is simply rest
ing for u mighty effort. Sir Sidney
Bell even goes 30 Ear as to predict that
the whole of New Zealand and the
greater part OF Australia will be en-
D. quilted before the end of the year 1925.

Hypnoti.m and Me.meri.m.

Hypnotism does not directly concern us
as regards its history until the time of its
invasion of western Europe a little more
than a century ago 1t arrived there as
mysteriously a cholera germ, and when
DR.. Mesmer, the Swiss enthusiast, took it
to Paris it rose into popular favor as
quickly as the Montgolfler balloons, then
the sensation of the hour in the French
capital. With this DR.. Mesmer it will be
profitable for the reader in quest of the oc-
cult to become well acquainted, for the
painful fact must be recorded that although
we are hundred years older in learning
than he was, except for a few minor points
that our scientists have cleared up for US,
we know but little more of this mysterious
power than he taught the beauty and fash
water in his room, and rod in hand received
the mesmesic influence.
All Paris fiocked to the herr doctors

envy of Scientists-our own DR.. Franklin.
of kite fame, among them-drove him out
of France. But the disease remained be-
hind uncured, and the fair philosophers,
not yet diverted from amusement by the
revolution, gathered surreptitiously to per-
form the experiments which we now dig

cal Experimentation" and other associa-
tions bearing names of learned length and

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

"Protection kills our foreign trade, -
says the democrat. The British trader
does not see it that way. In recent
issue the British Trade Journal sends
up the following wall:
"A letter from our Cuban correspond
emit serves to explain how it is that the
exports of British coal to the Spanish
West Indies have fallen from go, 900 tons
in 1889 to &c, 400 tons in 1890, and to
10000 tons Ito Havana in 1891. It is
another case Of American competition,
aided in this instance by the difficulty
of obtaining return cargoes from Cuba
to Great Britain. The United States
now supply Cuba with about 100000
tons of coal annually, and there is every
prospect of this trade increasing as the
forests of the island become exhausted,
and the use of steam machinery on the
sugar estates is developing. Alabama
coal especially is securing reputation
in the Spanish West Indies and the river
and rail improvements Of the southern
states will undoubtedly create an impor-
tant gulf trade. The new reciprocity
policy. by which the Uuited States are
enabled to import Cuban sugar, will, Of
course, assist the American coal exporter
even more effectually than the new lines
Of railway"
Such complaints as this from foreign
papers refute at once the democratic
claims that protection kills foreign trade
and that reciprocity is humbug.

A REMINISCENTIAL FACT.

Previous to 1884 there was not a
pound of soda ash manufactured in the
United States nor any duty on soda-ash.
The commodity cost the consumer $48 a
ton under that free trade condition.
The price was paid to the foreign man
ufacturer without murmer. A duty of
SIS ton was then imposed on soda-ash,
and the opponents of the protective sys-
tenn denounced it at once. Their theory
was that the duty was tax of SIS ton;
that the commodity would thereafter
cost the consumer $50 under protection,
while it cost only $48 ton under free
trade. It was urged that the duty
would be an additional cost as long as
the law remained in force, and therefore
the free trader insisted on a repeal of
the law as the only way to avoid paying
this burdensome tax. The Solway
Process company was organized at Syr-
acuse, N. Y, and commenced manufac-
turing soda-ash January 1884. The
factory cost 81, SOC, 900, the only one of
the kind on this hemisphere, with ca
pacity of $4,000 tons annually. The
price of the commodity fell in the Amer.
lean market as low as 1913 ton in three
years, a saving to the people annually
of $40 ton on the entire consumption
Of 175,OOO tons, or an aggregate saw
ing of $3,5O0,O00. The law imposing
the duty was still in force, and yet the
of the protective system kept
on denouncing the duty of SIS ton as
an additional cost and tax, and kept
on urging the repeal of the law as the
only way to avoid paying $53 ton for
soda-ash. They paid $48 ton to the
foreign manufacturer willingly, and yet
they were not willing to pay one of their
own countrymen, home manufacturer,
$28 a ton for the same commodity.
Such is free trade devotion to prin-
chile.

JUDGE BRoDERIcK's DEFENSE.

It was somewhat refreshing to hear
Judge Broderick defend Kansas upon
the floor of the house. It stood out in
bold relief against the calamity vail
that has been heaped upon the state by
a majority of its representatives in the
course of their remarks against the tin
tariff bill. He spoke in defense of Kan
sas as follows:
sit has been said and published to
the country that the state which have
the honor to represent in part. on this
floor, is mortgaged beyond hope OF re-
demption, and that this is owing to the
legislation of the general government.
That the indebtedness of the people OF
Kansas is larger than that of some OF
the older states, I freely admit, but 1
deny with emphPsis that Kansans are
either unable or unwilling b pay their
debtA I speak Of the rule, e2d not
of the exceptions.
"The comparison between tho true
value of the property Of the state and
the mortgaged indebtedness ss shown
BY the statistics does not justify much
that has been said and written on this
subject.
aAfter tresting the matter at consid-
enable length. tho superintendent Of
census says: The estimate OF $1,646.-
600 900 . the true value OF al proper
", ta1ed and not taxed. for tho state Of
