THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY ACTED


 When the Allianca was fired on by a Spanish gunboat the State Department sent a ringing demand on Spain for 8 prompt apology. It afterward developed that the President was off duck hunting, and Secretary Gresham was too sick te attend to business. and that Assistant Secretary Uhl sent the memorable mes sage. The dispatch was sent to Minister Taylor at Madrid, and read:
 This government will expect prompt disavowal of the unauthorized act and due expression of regret on the part of Spain, and must insist that immediate and positive orders be given to Spanish naval commanders not to interfere with legitimate American commerce passing through that channel, and prohibiting all acts wantonly imperilling life and property lawfully under the flag of the United States. You will communicate this to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and urge importance of prompt and sat isfactory response"
 This dispatch rang with the old Amer iean spirit, and is of interest now that Uhl is spoken of as Gfesham's successor.

You can't show me country on the face of the earth that has a sufficient supply of money, where misery and dis tress prevail" said an orator at the free silver meeting in Erswells hall. If the prosperity of a country is measured by the per capita circulation then the United States should be four times as prosper pus as Mexico, for we have $20 per capita and Mexico $5 per capita. Therefore, the misery and distress" in this country is four times less than in Mexico. Another speaker at the same meeting said; They say we are going to Mexicanize the Uni ted States Tell me why conditions are better in Mexico today than they are in this country?" The 16 to leaders should hold a conference and agree on a basis for their arguments, so that they won't be always contradieting each other.

Congressman Bankhead says "there are not 20,OOO,OOO ounces of silver in the world uneoined." The general under standing is that this country alone has more than 20,000,000 ounces of silver bull lion stacked up in the treasury. The sherman law of 1890 made it compulsory on the government to buy 4,500, ,0O0 ounces every month. This law also expressly provided that the government might stop the coinage altogether. The pur- chase of the bullion went on, but its coinage was stopped.

Christ we will labor for the closest union possible. Now how is this to be ad- vaneed2
 It is not likely to be reached by any church insisting on it's own plan as an ultima tufn This is not very hopeful for a start Our little plans to drive the Christian world within our fences. are more divirting than promising Gods church is a good deal larger than our little thoughts about it. There are good many more people in 1t and ln good standing than we are aware or our claims to apostolic aristocracy must run the gauntlet of historic certainty and seriptural fact.
 It Is to come by cultivating the spirit of union. It is to be advanced by mag nifying the points in which we do agree especially by magnifying those Chrls- tian graces to be found in all con4- munions. There is peril to true relt- zion and to true unity in laboring for external oneness at the expense or deeper unity. John Wesley and Jona- than Edwards were a good deal closer together in Gods church than some who are of the same name and order.
 It is to be by cooperating, whenever possible. with other Christians. Already the bulk of American Christianity joins in support of general movements, ike the Bible society, the Young Men Christian association and the EndeaVor movement. In greht revival services we actually meet together, preach and gather our membership.
 Strange that we should be impleaded to Christian unity by Christians who will cooperate in no existent expression of unity whateverl Above all, we are tq pray for it. So Christ did in this prayer. He evidently relied upon this rather than upon an explicit form or badge of visible union. This he has not left us. One of the blessed signs of the times is the meeting together of Christians to pray for unity There is a brotherhood organized for this very purpose. Ihls will further essential unity.
 We must put aside our ultimatums' We must hold to our convictions; but we must concede we may be mistaken and ask God to prosper the right as He knows it.
 As we gather about Christ we shall be drawn together. "And I, if l be lifted up, will draw all men to Me" T am tn magnet [ am lthe icenter of unity About Christ's cross let us rally and we shall be one.

SWEET ELDER.

Beside the crumbling garden wall.
Beneath the towering maple trees.
Along the hedge where apples fall
And yellow bells invite the bees.
l cling and climb
In summer time,
And yield store OF rich perfume
For all who love sweet elder bloom.
I spring up where the cattle roam,
And make the desert places green,
Where corn and clover find a home
I'LL the burrows In between.
My feet are strong
My runners long,
And though l seem slender reed,
No aid nor comfort do I need.
l love the atmosphere Of June,
The fields when they are fully
dressed.
The birds that sing the sweetest tune
Come unto me to find nest;
And little girls
With flowing curls
Come hither in the heated hours
And play within my shady bowers.
When autumn comes with cooling
winds.
And gives the hills richer glow,
My day of recompense begins
My arms with fruitage overflow;
And all the while
fondly smile.
For he that taketh aught from me
Receives an Offering rich and free.
And when l feel the winter SHOWS
| will not hide myself and weep,
Bat will fondly dream of those
Who something of my memory keep.
My heart will yearn
For the return
or faces that oft have seen
When skies were bright and fields
were green.

New England country villages
which look like hives of happy and
peaceful bees are often nests of wasps.
There is very little honey in them.
There is on the other hand unexpect-
ed sweetness; there is often natural
refinement. more engaging than the
manner of city solons. There are also
humble romances. and, occasionally
tragedies, acted out on small stage,
before an audience familiar with the
actors and every incident. and savage
ly critical or intensely sympathetic,
as the case may be.
l CHANGED TO be present at one such
entertainment, which lasted for a
considerable time, but which l shall
condensed into two or three scenes.
The curtain rises-and l see only
two actors on the narrow stage which
is set with rustic scenery. There are
road. trees, and in the distance
water. This latter locks as IL intend
ed for the sea. There walk along the
road toward the sea a young man, tall
and stalwart, and o young woman,
also tall and of very slight figure.
Her eyes and hair are dark and her
features are somewhat sharp for q
handsome face. Her name is Rebecca
Champernown. She Is the last de-
scendant of n very ancient and IA
nous family, whose pride is almost
her only inheritance. No one could
have believed that she would fall In
love with fisherman; least of all her
mother. But so it has happened. She
loves Reuben Gage, captain of the
fishing schooner Anna Sheafe, and
they walk together and meet as often
rs they can find opportunity.
As Reuben and Rebecca walk along
the road they do not appear to talk
much. She seems cold and distant,
but in her heart is a fire of love that
burns more fiercely the more she re-
presses IT, And she is obliged to re-
press 1t, for Reuben is shy, awkward
and undemonstrative. Yet in some
way, perhaps by her womanly intui-
tions, she has discovered his great.
manly, affectionate nature. They have
now been intimate whole year. and
every one supposes them lovers and
probably engaged: but In fact they
have never yet exchanged word OF
love. Reuben, has often been on the
point of speaking. but the right words
failed him and something arose in his
throat that checked utterancc. And

The Trans-Baikal section Of the ST.
berian Railway is now completed. The
original plans for this railway were
abandoned owing to the fact that they
would have necessitated the carrying
of the line to an elevation Of 5000 feet
above the sea through arid districts
where but few settlers could make a
livelihood. A more southern route has
now been adopted, which, though con-
siderably longer, will run by four of the
principal rivers, through regions rich
in salt, soda, silver. copper, iron. lead
and gold, and in which many mines
have been opened out. Some $50 miles
of the Siberian railway are open for
traffic, viz, Chelabinsk to Omsk. in the
west, 500 miles, and Vladivostock IN
Grafskaia, in the east, $50 miles. Thus
Omsk is placed in direct communicated
with Moscow and st. Petersburg. OF
the total length Of 5000 miles from AZ
Petersburg to yladivostock, about 3. zoo
miles have still to be completed.
