TEARS OF PROSPERITY.

I'VE would be glad to be back in those
four years uhdcrthe administration OF Presi-
dent Harrison, years Of the highest and
greatest prospe rity TO the American people
Years that registered the highest foreign
trade that this nation ever had, and regis
tered, too, the largest domestic trade we
ever enjoyed-those were the four years
when we had the largest and most splendid
prosperity In all our history.
1t has not been SO in the last four
years We know more now than we
knew then, and We know better how to
vote now than we kne " in 1892.
You remember that In that year the
campaign was fifed with glttering prom

country II we would only turn the Republi-
can party out Of power and put the Demo
cratic party in. And the people put that
party In power and the splendid prosperity
we have had since you know all about.
We are not asking too much, my fellow
citizens, whom we ask for an American
policy that shall protect the American
people In their occupations and their en-
ployment, are We? We are not asking
very much when we ask the Congress Of
the United States to protect the American
workshop against the foreign workshop,
and to give the American workshop pref

A Mean Trick.

Harmony is not as characteristic OF
church choirs as it should be, and fash
ionable st. Thomas choir in New York
is now going through the agony OF a
quarrel, as the result of the swell we'd

choir consists Of fifty voices, and at

Paget-Whitney weddings rendered very
elaborate musical programmes. Hand
some checks were sent in payment,
Mr.. Whitney having sent, it is claim
ed, $500. The organist received these
checks and the singers are complain
ing that he didn't divide fair. He gave
each one a sealed enveloped with their
part, and cautioned them not to open
it until they reached home. One young
girl was so anxious to see what she
had gotten that she rushed home, tore
open the envelope and found 81 bill.

A Novel idea.

The Omaha Weekly World-Herald
has struck another novel idea for in
creasing its circulation by Offering large
prizes to those new subscribers who
construct the shortest sentence contain
ing all the letters of the alphabet.
This is sort of reverse of last years
prize contest, when the object was to
construct the largest number OF words
out of certain letters.
1t will be interesting to note how
short a sentence can be made and still
contain all the twenty-six letters in the
alphabet. The trouble, of course. will
lie to get in such letters as x, y, z and q.
Ex-Congressman Bryan. who edits
the paper and breaches free silver COIN

Colleges and Secret Societies.

The secret society problem has been
one of the most difficult that has con-
fronted American colleges. 1t has led
to endless disputes, and in many cases
where the college is controlled by
church denominations it has been a
bone of contention in the ecclesiastical
conferences. The great University oi
Chicago has solved this problem in |.
broad way by recognizing the frater
mites officially, and hereafter they will
be reckoned as distinct feature ol
university life. 1t is the only snnrver-
sity in the world that has met the
"Greeks" on even terms, and it is be-
lieved that the fraternity men, appre-
eating this hberality. will be valuable
aids in upholding the moral standard
of the university. President Harper is
quoted as saying: 81 hope the days
of conflict between college authorities
and secret fraternities is now over, and
| believe that the step we have taken,
though radical, is one in the right di.
rection."

TO AID ARMENIA
An Earnest Step Taken to Aid the
Eastern Sufferers.

The formal call for the mass meeting
in the interests of the suffering Armeni-
ans was given to the public last Thursday
evening. The meeting will be held Sun
day afternoon at the Lyceum theater and
arrangements have been made to have
overflow meetings, provided the crowd is
too large for the theater. The speakers
at the central meeting vial repeat the
essential portions OF their addresses at the
meetings to be held at other points The
formal call IS as follows:
In view Of the reports we are daily re-
ceiving of the awful and long continued
atrocities being committed IN Armenia,
and because the government Of Turkey
will take 10 action to suppress the same
unless compelled to do so by the Chris
tian powers, therefore the United States
ought to take the initiative in bringing
to bear upon the Turkish government
such influence as will compel them to
prevent the continuation OF the massacres
and plundering of the Armenian people,
and to carry out the reforms so often
promised and never fulfilled.
To this end a mass meeting OF citizens
of Minneapolis Is called for Sunday after
noap, Jan 26, at 3 o'clock, in the Lyceum
theater, to take such acton as may be
considered Wise. urging Co1SfESS etuu Lllc
president to use the powers conferred
upon them in the strongest way to bring
about the much desired result
Addresses will be made by prominent
citizens, and no one need remain away,
as arrangements have been made for
overflow meetings, at which the same ad-
dresses will be repeated.
Let every citizen be present. There will
be room for everybody, as the First Bap-
list and Plymouth Congregational
churches are engaged for overflow meet
ings, which will be addressed by able
speakers.
