QUOTATION MARKS IN PRAYERS.
Episcopal Collects Used as Extempore
Prayers by Ministers Of other
Denominations
New York Herald

New York Herald,
As some OF the preachers and teachers
in this good city have lately been in
dulging in considerable criticism OF
others in high places" ii may not be
deemed presuming in one Of the laity TO
take up the parable" and declare
little personal knowledge OF some OF these
literary thefts.
Having heard number Of prominent
Presbyterian and Reformed preachers
officiating at funerals and elsewhere). /
found that in nearly every instance their
prayers were almost entirely composed
OF Collects from the Episcopal church
liturgy, either in part or entire, being
quite dexteriously put together with a
few unpremeditated words Of their own.
After the service the uninitiated speak
10 one another in this wise: What a
beautiful prayer" How eloquent"
What gifted man." etc. etc.
Now, IL occurred to me that these good
preachers knowing that they were offer
ing to the Lord the same words used
by saints and martyrs through all the
ages, felt that He would need no quota
ton marks; but what can be said for a
trustful congregation, who. in the sim
plicity OF their hearts, imagine they are
listening to and being benefited by an
"exetmpore prayer?"
/ would respectfully ask whether this
is or is not plagiarism? Let him that
is without fault among you first cast
the stone" IMPARTIAL JUSTICE.

There never was time in our political
mand for the business man in politics
than there is today. All the issues Of
the hour are business issues and they
come home to every mans pocket and
sef-interest In times past political
questions were generally constitutional,
demanding more or less Of legal knowl-
edge for their construction. Sometimes
they were moral questions, appealing to
the universal heart, and sometimes ques-
tons Of diplomacy and war. But today
they are distinctly business questions
that require for their advocacy and best
solution not legal knowledge nor moral
sentiment, except collaterally but good
hard business sense. The first and prin-
clpal question is, what kind OF money
ought we to have as business men? and
the second is, by what legislation can we
best protect the national business inter-
ests? Upon these issues there ought TO
be an bipartisan expression by the busi-
ness men and commercial organizations
Of the whole country. 1t cannot be too
strongly impressed upon business men
Everywhere that this is their year above
all others, and in proportion as they fail
IA their political and patriotic duty in
attending primaries, conventions and
elections, in a still greater proportion
will they suffer from bad government
and inefficient laws.-Chicago Times

Frost is the orchardist's most dreaded
enemy. and heretofore when one has
been expected all available help has been
kept busy maintaining brush fires about
the orchards and vineyards. The ma
chine is a furnace on a sled. Around
the sides and on the top Of the furnace
is wire netting, into which are packed
straw and other material that will hold
moisture. The sled also carries a water
tank, and the packing about the furnace
is kept wet. The fire is fed with brush
and the smoke distributed from number
Of chimneys. With the smoke and steam
a fog is produced which envelopes the
orchard, keeping up the temperature and
warding of frost

A MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK FOR

campaign.
In some manufactures there Is con-
tInuance OF the congestion caused by the
conservatism OF buyers during the Vene-
Euela scare" but sto,ks on dealers
shelves are small and the low prices
have stimulated exports 10 such an tN-
tent as promises speedy relief. The gen
sral outlook is hopeful. and reports from
sorne portions OF the West are particu-
larry encouraging. 1t is noted that while
farmers received low prices for their
grain, yet the yield was large, and South
srn planters good very good prices for
their cotton
The hariships which the country has
endured OF late years have not been an
unmixed evil Reckless traders have
been eliminated from the ranks Of busi-
zezs men and all have been taught con-
ssrvative methods. The water has
been squeezed out Of the capitalization
Of many corporations and they have
been reconstructed on a more compact
bSsis. Building of needless railways has
long been checked until growth of popu-
htion has justified the present existence
constructed. Moreover. many OF the
most dangerous speculative officials have
been forced into retirement.
Even the scare" over the Venezuela
dispute has done some good in teach
ing a host Of Yankee Chauvinists that
the United States. after all, is not To-
Gated in the moon and that our relations
With other countries are a matter Of some
importance to the American people.
Railway earnings are now slowly i'm
proving and their tendency affords a
fair criterion of the state Of the country.
The rapid reorganization OF bankrupt
systems is giving increased stability to
traffic rates, and at the same time re-
leasing large sums which have long been
locked up in unmarketable securities.
Four years Of almost uninterrupted con-
traction have brought all interests down
70 a pretty safe basis OF operations, and
in the natural course Of events should
be followed by a period Of expansion.
There is a plethora Of unemployed funds !
at all the great financial centers, and |
absolutely safe stocks and bonds are be- |
ing steadily absorbed at prices so high |
as to yield but beggarly return, while |
all questionable securities are neglected. |
II the United States could only assure |
the world that it will certainly pursue
the paths Of peace and pay all debts in
honest money very large proportion Of
the funds now lying idle in Europe would
at once seek investment here, and
period of perhaps unprecedented COM
mercial and Industrial expansion would
be inaugurated.
