The cause of the closing down of

100000 tons over 1891. This spring

How kindly, and even tenderly, some
of our old-time Republicans are talking
about the president and the problems
that the administration is forced to face.
At a dinner the other night Senator
Hoar was almost saint-like in his benei-
country. One would never have guessed
that he had 80 recently championed a
force bill and predicted dire disaster to
the land II the Republicans should go
out of power even for one term.
And now we have had ex-Se ,ator Ed
munds in our midst all winter, and he,
too. has been seraphic in sweetness OF
suggestion. He not only cordially APP
proves Mr.. Cleveland's cautious course
as to Hawaii, but he counses good tenn
per and patience over the still more
troublesome Chinese business. The
other night in San Francisco, where he
lie still lingering to see the early summer
gone by before his return east, he made
speech full of patriotism and full OF
kindly expression towards the president.
He hoped that the people of this coast
won d not be in hurry to impeach the
president OF the United States for his
courae. There were good aud weghty
reasons why the president should not be
hasty in his action, for the welfare of
both the east and the west must be con-
eidered. No heed should be paid to
what the politician may say on tbs
street corners or the sand lot. 1t should
be remembered that nothing can hap
pen in one section of the country that
is either good or bad but it affects the
whole country.
All these things are good signs. 1t is
not too much to claim that we are now
more nearly in the midst OF that ''era Of
good feeling" that WAS once our admit
ted political lot-many years ago--than
we have been in sll these later times.
There are differences as plenty amongst
us, but the people have had most to do
with our political slate OF late, and they
will not tolerate forever the craftsmanship
OF the last twenty years.

LAST OF A STRANGE BAND.


A Maine Woman In Ja6a Awaiting
Cbrist's Second Coming.
An interesting story came to the SUR
face at Friday evenings mid-week meet
ing at the old stone church. The Hon.
George II. Ely related an incident OF
woman's faith that came under his mo-
tice during recent trip through the
holy land. In company with four or five
tourists, MI. Ely was seated on piazza
OF hotel in Jsffs, when his attention
was attracted to half dozen boys play
ing in the street below. All but one of
the boys had the swarthy compilations
characteristic of the country, and the
one exception was light complexioned,
with perfect Caucasian features.
THAT boy" said one of the gentle
men, "looks to me as though be be-
longed to the streets of New York in
stead OF Jaffa." Their interest in the
little fellow was aroused to such an ex-
tent that they went down to inquire,
and to their surprise he spoke little
English. He said he lived with his
mother q short distance up the street,
and the party, including Mr.. Ely,
walked up street and entered the
woman's house, which proved to be q
dressed her in English, and she was be-
side herself with Joy to hear her native
tongue spoken, and to their astonish-
ment she told them that her home is in
Maine.
'Maine, my good woman, what in the
world are you doing here ?" asked one OF
the party.
The woman then explained that many
years since a number OF men and women
in the Maine village she came from
were carried away with the idea that the
second coming OF Christ was near at
hand, and that when He does come He
will first appear in Palestine. A colony
scraped up all their savings OF years,
and with their families they emigrated
to Jaffa to be on hand when Jesus ap
pears.
"Do they all live here ?" was asked.
"They did," she replied; "but some
of them, discouraged and tired of wait.

died, and am here all alone with my
boy"
Sand how do you support yourself ?"

hard time doing it. Some weeks all
can do is to keep from starvation"
One OF the men told the woman that
Jaffa was no place for her, and advised
her to go back to America with her boy,
give him a good American education
and bring him up as an American citi-
zen, but the woman simply smiled at
the suggestion. W

money-and good round sum it was

penny of it.

coming of Christ, and intend to remain
