polling the passage of an amendment to the
constitution which shall formerly recog-

scarcely thought the result desired would

the name of God be not mentioned in the

the actual presence of God in the nation, the
issues and results of this campaign have
contributed very much. l can say this, 1
trust, without antagonizing any man.
There were couple of things in the
campaign apart from the direct issue be.
tween gold and silver, which more than we
perhaps knew, influenced the result One
Of them was the appeal made on one side on
behalf of the honor and integrity of the
nation. Now | was not one during the
who would charge an intent on
the part of the sincere advocates of free sill
yer to compromise or in any way detract
from the honor of the nation, and L am GER
tainly not going to do so now. 1t seemed
to me, all the way through, that the charge
was an unjust one. 1t is plain PROPOSE
ton that, on the premise that in 1878 by
legislature, an injustice was done to silver
aud the debtor class, it would not certainly
be q dishonorable thing to seek by legisla-
ton to undo the thing then done. And
this was all that the advocates of free silver
we're claiming. They may have been
wrong in their statement of facts and APP
prehension of conditions, but in so far as
intent was concerned it was easy for fair
mind to see how they meant no dishonor. |
But, In spite of that, the cry was raised for |
IN honest dollar and for the honor of the |
nation. And the appeal to patriotism

hat l want to note here is the |
fleet which that appeal had.
Men rallied to that cry. Converts were
made by it. And right or wrong, in its
tarting, 1t was the feeling that no dishonor-
IDLE or dishonest thing should be done by
his nation which carried men to the win

United States has become little more
patriotic and has stretched her Monroe doc
trine and her Christ doctrine little further,
so as to take in the whole world, instead of
these Americas, she, too, can be counted
upon to aid in the prevention of another
such crime If we had not had the misfor-
tune in this time to be so sadly misrepre-
sented in Turkey by Mr.. Terrell, we might
ere now have aided in stopping the iniquity.
But, be this as it may, the significant thing
for US today is the growing sentiment for
peace. And the logic of events here is car
rying the United States ont into seas OF
worldwide influence that she has not sailed
before. And our nation can do much to
promote peace. She wants nobody's terri
tory, she has enough of her own. She
can afford to be generous to the weak and
she is able to stand for simple justice at the
hands of the strong, and He who rules
over nations has, in this year 1896, pointed
out this world wide mission for this nation.
But must get little closer home. We
have had panic, and we haye had an elec-
non. Both have served to create thought
Jul condition in the minds of the American
people. Hard times always provoke men
to think. When men can no longer make
money, and when hundreds and thousands
OF them cannot get the work which will
supply their families with food and clothing,
you may expect them to do some thinking.
At such times they will think far and wide,
and high and deep. They will not only
canvass the reasons for the panic, but they
will then think o. God. And then let the |
people come up at the end of such period |
Of panic and be presented with a clear issue
like that which was before us in this cam
paigD, an issue which one party insisted |
would be, if settled affirmatively, the cure
of all our woes; one which the other party
affirmed as stoutly would inaugurate new
caIamities while 1t aggravated the old ones,
and you clearly have the conditions for
some re6-hot thinking. 1t has seemed to
me that just here and now, at the close of
this campaign and at the close, too, of the
panic (as we all hope), there is chance to
learn something. If the year that Uzziah
died, enabled Isaiah to see the Lord sitting
upon throne, high and lifted up, so we, in
this year 1896 should get like glorious vision.
For one thing there is much to be thankful
for, that this country can come through
such a heating process as was applied to 1t
in this campaign and after it is all over, ac-
cept the results, cool off, and settle down to
business again. On the second day of No
yember this broad land of ours had some
what the appearance, so far as the people
sre concerned, and not to mix figures at all,

A Change of Connections.

:, The Atlantic Coast Line has issued
new shipping orders in regard to
freights between Baltimore aud the
South. On Monday freigbts were
ordered shipped via the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Richmond Steam
boat Company, (known as the York
River Line, instead Of the Bay Line,
which has for twenty years or more
handled it The. Bay Line is, as is
we'll known, operated by the Sea
board system and the York River
Line is controlled by the Southern
Railway Company, but it is claimed
that the change in no way refers to
the differences between those two
great eystems There are, however,
strong reasons to believe that the re-
cent rate war has had something to
do with the matter In the fight be.
tween the Seaboard and Southern the
Atlantic Coast Line was known to
have practically joined hands with
the Southern and this change OF
freight arrangements that have. been
considered satisfactory for score OF
years certainly looks as though it
might be Southern move.
Mr.. 6 G. Kenly, agent of the At.
lantic Coast Line, in Baltimore.
stated to a reporter for the Baltimore
American that the change was made
for the purpose Of handling their own
freight at their own warehouses.
which. he said. will give the ship
5pers days better time from there to

that line has been going to Ports
mouth. Va, by the Bay Line, and
has been transferred from there to
the Atlantic Coast Line through the
sSeaboard Air Line. Instead of the
freight going to Portsmouth BY the
Bay Line it will be handled by the
York River Line at Primers Point,
one OF the northern terminals of the
Atlantic Coast Line .'The change
is MT the result of any disagreement
with the Seaboard," said Mr.. Kenly,
but is made so we can handle our
own freight at our ewn terminal. and
give the shippers the advantage of
getting their goods through on better
time The change affects the entire
East, and hereafter all freight for our

All aboard were on deck. They
were thrown into the water, and
those saved were only rescued by
the help of the floating deck load of
lumber. Several were caught under
the sails and dragged down with the
sinking vessel Others were unable
to keep afoat until the rescue boats
arrived, and dropped of the planks.
Two men climbed up the steamers
