DIR GETFCHEN on the MONETARY
CONFERENCE

Tho ovcishadowng importance Of the mon
ctary problem t. the people Of the nitod states
inst at this time give, especial interest 10 the
letter Of DR.. Gcffckcn in which he reviews the
situation with respect - the possibilities OF
international agreement on the silver question.
He recognizes the fact that there Is MT much
probability, in the present composition oil the
now Senate and House Of legislation calculated
10 rcrair the monetary position OF the United
States acting by itself. Though he speaks with
much modcsty, DR.. Gcilckcn evidently has
definite and very correct idea of the political
divisions which render wise action by Congress
improbable lie believes in President Cieve-
l1nds willingness. but not in his power 10 bring
about any satisfactory solution.
The question then turns upon the possibility
Of international agreement. DR.. Gcigckcn does
not place stress upon the fIct which was the
controlling one with President llarriSonS Adj
minstration. that n, action whatever by the
United states alone could insure silver higher
price or a larger use aS money, but IT comes ~
the same thing if no useful action by tae nlted
State, can be expected, since in that case al>1
nothing good can be accomplished without in
,ernaiional accord The monetary position ana
necessities of foreign countries are therefore re-
Vowed by DR.. GcncIicn with care, and with an
extensive range of information which renders
his letter most instructive - Americans.
II is his belief that the international Confer
cnce cannot accomplish anything Indeed, he
is convinced that n second meeting OF the
conference will be held. and maintains that
the attitude of the various Governments pre-
cludos tho possibility of any agreement. The
one criticism which his remark suggests Is that,
while no plan yet proposed appears AT all likely
TO gain approval il is at least possible that
some other solution may yet be suggested which
will afford basis OF agreement and also p s.
,iblc that changes in trade or finances may
fore slmc nations T. seek international agree
mcnt most earnestly which are now opposed T.

dition of India and of the relations between

have but one end and in that end we must
rejoice, however much we may dcplorc the

the people have won the day. For in these

that will explode the whole magazine of social

Governor Flower is an optimiSt. "Many good
laws and fruitful of good legislation are
the commendatory phrases in which Mr.. Flower
expresses his complete approval of the output
of the session just expiring. His satisfaction
is due to the fact that nearly all of the recon-
mcndations made in his message have been
adopted 1t is well for him that he did not go
back to his last years message to see how
widely both the Legislature and himself have
departed from the principles there laid down
regarding interference with the affairs of cities
The Governor sees distinctly what little is
good in the Legislature of 1898 but is stone
blind to all the rest.

President Cleveland does not appear to have
a high standard in judicial appointments, if
those made for the Court of Appeals of the
District of Columbia are fair sample of what
he means to do in this line. Even most ad-
mirably equipped man ought not to be appoint
ed to an important Judgeship of this class
when he has reached the age of sixty seven.
These selections fall far below the very high
average OF Mr.. IIarrison's judicial appoint

A French Boy Hero.

Another name. our Paris correspondent
says, is added 10 the list of boy heroes Of
the French wars, by the death Of a drum
mer-hoy at the siege OF Maubeuge 100
years ago. The circumstances, overlooked
at the time. We're brought TO light by mod
eru historians Of the French revolution.
Strauh, or Stroh, as il is also spelled. was n
drummer al fourteen, In the French Royal
Swedish regiment II was on october 10,
lNB. The army OF the convention had
undertaken 10 raise the siege of Maubeuge
by the Austrians, and Strauh's regiment
had been sent 10 occupy the village of
Dourlers. Regardless of danger. the young
drummer slipped through the lines of AUS
trian skirmishers by hedges and bitches,
and reached the center OF the village,
where he proceeded 10 perform on his
drum rafting call to arms.
The enemy, believing that the French
had occupied the village, retreated in dis
order This enabled the French TO get UP
TO the first houses of the village. BY this
time the Austrians had discovered how
they had been played with. and were in no
humor TO forgive the author of their de-
feat Strauh ran FOR his life but too late.
Surrounded in front Of the church by
Hungarian grenaders he fell. having him
self shot down several Of his assanants.

the whole scene. Some years later in the
army, he met Strauhs brothers. who We're
aware that the drummer-boy had been
killed, but were ignorant OF the clrcua-

told them. In 1887, in opening the ground

The Religion or Christ.

Thus, the religion Of Christ went forth
70 its history. IL went forth stan in hand
70 the great life of the world. II had
message for men toiling, struggling, SUI
fering, famed. and wearied, and down
trodden in the tussle of the world. 1t had
a message for life in the workshop, life
al the ilreside life wounded, and sOned in
the fight with temptation, life, fevered
and wasted, and ebbing away on beds OF
pain. 1t was theology; but above all,
II was sweet, strong. divine life lived
on the face Of the earth IL told OF God
on His unseen throne, but, above all, IL
told the story of that life And It was
story that men understood. They did not
have 10 rummage among the buried bones
OF forgotten history, or train themselves
in subtilities of thought to get at its
meaning. II flowed with easy interpreta-
lions into the heart and conscience OF lit
tie children; Of women sitting by the
cradle OF their babes; Of boys looking out
with eager eyes on the untried world; Of
men doing hot work in the front Of the
world
Christianity has had its austeritles. fits
horOisms, It's renunciations. its solltudes
Of rapt communion with eternal things.
Its ideals have walked on peaks OF un-
suilied snow. There Is In il an energy OF
faith, which could scorn the prizes Of
the world. and enter the palace of God
across the threshold of a howell There Is In
IL an unutterable horror of sin. The line OF
It's advance through the Christian CEN
turtles is marked with the writing forms
Of sin. which IL has fought, and which,
II it has not vanquished, IL has, at least,
wounded, and despoiled OF their mask,
and branded with infamy. II has, at times,
and in fervid and exceptional types OF
character, been carried in its struggle for
righteousness into morbid asceticisms and
gross exaggerations OF Christs great law
OF self-denial But II has never lost sight
Of its real work and the place where that
work was 10 be wrought Whatever its
mistakes or defects. it has felt that IT'S
mission was 20 throw the forces OF SUI
pernatural lie into the common, daily
lives Of men: and so, all along its history
il has gone forth TO toilng, traficing, suf-
fering men, bringing to them its divine
interpretations Of life, its divine law OF
life. its vision Of the infinite horizons that
engirdle life.
