cases is considerate enough to make such
attachments in rent as the condition OF the
industry demands. The land owner
charges all the traffic will bear, but takes
good care not to drive the farmer into
retirement. England Is now living largely
upon her accumulations. Money flows
toward London from all directions. and
will do so until the exactons of the
creditor become unbearable. The require
ment of gold payment, the effect of which
is beginning to be felt in the fall Of prices,
will strain the ability of debtors The
Limitation Of the worlds stock of money
to gold bears as hard upon the English
producing class as elsewhere. Whatever
may be said Of the craftsmanship of Eng
land, it cannot be denied that it has failed
to make that just distribution of the profits
of business which promotes contentment.
The condition OF large proportion of the
people is absolutely helpless. A life Of
toll almost without recompense Is all they
can look forward to.

GOLD MINING.

A great Strike of gold in quartz is re-
ported to have been made short distance
from Sisson in Northern California, and
a few poor men are said to have much
wealth in prospect. The hope may be ex-
pressed that the report, unlike so many
others, is not misleading or exaggerated
The tendency of false mining news is to
unsettle communities for a time and to
cause bitter disappointment as we'll as loss.
Men of experience in mining believe that
in this State there lies buried imme nse
wealth in gold-bearing quartz. which the
capitalist alone has the means to extract
The capitalist is easily attracted to rich
developments, but he seems to be shy of
embarking in enterprises that only prom
ise moderate returns. Yet modern pro-
cesses of treating ore are so very complete
that it now paws to apply them TO the
handling Of debris tailngs worked by the
old processes. Some of the results in South
Africa are surprising. Under these favora-
bic conditions there ought to be more
energy shown in the prosecution of quartz
mining for gold. There is willingness
enough to prosecute hydraulic mining, but
il is now settled policy that it mast not
operate to the detriment Of agriculture.

NOT so BAD AS TIGHT BE.

The report of engineers Manson and
Grunsky on the condition of the sewers
indicates that with a little filing OF cog
wheels the bulk Il the present sewers can
be utilized. This will be bad news to the
local statesmen who have had visions of
a So. 900. 600 bond issue to obtain money for
brand new system, but the taxpayers
will hear of 1t with complacency. The
go-as-y you-please plan upon which sewers
have been instructed will add to the cost
of the work in hand, and there are found
sewers which would be worthless as part
OF perfect plan. These may be called
the political sewers. Such were not con-
structed to carry off refuse matter, but
rather to serve as the basis OF an attack
upon the treasury. They have served
their purpose. The city has paid for thcm
and Is now confronted with the necessity
OF constructing sewers for legitimate pur-
poses. The greatest difficulty We have to
contend against is to keep the sewers out
OF politics. Ii there is to ba any close con.
nection between the two let politics take to

SPIRITUAL CULTURE.
An Interesting Paper Read Before
the PRESBYTERIAN Ministers.

Rev. Kenneth j. Duncan read paper o n
Psychology for Preachers" at the meeting
of the PRESBYTERIAN Ministerial Union in
Howard Church yesterday morning.
Speaking of the importance of self-knowl
edge and soul culture lie quoted the saying
OF the Mystics, ''tnat the soul is flute
ulon which the holy spirit plays" 1t
should then be kept in order and not be
allowed to get out OF tune, or dlscOrd Will
he the result. Our souls are the temple Of
God. as he has himself declared, and they
must be kept in good condition, so that we
may be all the time in communication with
him. The spiritual culture which is thus
secured enables us TO get into sympathy
with the masses. and to reach them with
our influence without any lowering of cur
selves. 1t has been said that TolstOi's Ie-
igion is expressed in these words: II will
live with you and be dirty" The motto
of cur religion should be. Come live with
us and be clean" This invitation cannot
be made effective without the drawing
power OF soul cultured by communion
with the spirit Of God himself Bernard
once preached to an audience Of learned
men and they applauded. The next day
he preached to company Of peasants aDd
they wept. Yesterday" he said. II
preached Bernard. to-day L preached
Christ" We want TO preach Christ al
ways, and we cannot do it effectively un-
less our souls are in accord with the spirit
of the Lord himself The culture needed is
to be obtained by the reverrnt study of
Gods word. 'by communion with and prayer
