goes forth on its mission in the name
of no church, no religious sect, and
yet it is profoundly, deeply religious
in the broad practical work of Him
who loves the world, and attested his
love with the blood of the cross.
1t knows no enemy from whom it
withholds relief or help; it knows no
color nor race, nor national mark; in
the broad name of humanity it does
its work. Its work is universal. 1t
never asks from whom comes the cry.
1t is enough to know it is human
cry. He is our neighbor who is the
suffering man. So much of the Good
Samaritan ofthe Gospels centers into
the Red Cross work.
1t is an occasion of national reioic-
ing and congratulation, that woman
like Clara Barton leads the Red Cross
in one of the most gigantic efforts of
relief known to history. She is our
American saint, heroic, brave, and
ready to die in her work if need be.
Her work on the battlefields of our
Civil War lift her high on the scroll
of national heroes. And in their
hearts the old soldierswrite her name

would, interfered in their behalf and

BALTIMORE, MD.

Fair Mramar. Beside the sea,
Canute like, hast thou placed thy throne,
Where baffied pillows chafng moan
In efforts vain to swallow thee.
Thy sceptre is by magic charmed.
And all in vain the tumbling tide
Expends Its fury by the side,
Thy hamlet leaving still unharmed.
We hear the surf come rolling in,
We watch the breakers on the beach,
But thou bevond their maddened reach
Art throned like England's love-crowned queer
Whose right to reign does but possess,
When loyal hearts behold that laws
Are all conformed to freedoms cause.
And aimed alone the ruled to bless.
But other sounds break on my ear
This calm and holy Sabbath morn,
Like incense on the air is borne
The Sabbath bell, SO sweet and clear.
We see no church with lofty spire,
No grand cathedral on the slope.
But that sweet )und:enkindles hope.
AS thoughts with eyes are lifted higher.
Amidst the varied dins of marts,
The bells salute does not convey
Toe meaning this one brings today.
No language speak they to our hearts:
But here between the mount and sea,
In this hushed, hallowed atmosphere,
Deep in our. very souls we hear
The whisper of Divinity.
We bless you holy Sabbath bells,
Though all unseen the belfry grey,
We with your worshipers will pray,
AS on the air your music swells.
The grove and crag soft shadows fling
Ga modest church from which ascend
Those mellow tones, and concord lend
To every true heart worshipping.
But other charms you offer me.
Fair Miramar, than Sabbath bell,
And ocean with its white fringed swell,
And grove, and glen. and fiowered lea.
Yon mountain with its rugged side.
From which so many homes deploy,
Pours in my heart a greater joy
Than grove or glen, or ceaseless tide.
watch its ever changing form,
When bathed the sun Its lofty brow,
Or when by clouds eclipsed as now,
False harbingers to us of storm.
From meath its dark yet brooding wing
Like chickens basking in the sun,
A brood of cosy houses new
While from their roofs bright roses swing
These pictures will take with me
Fair Miramar; to my far home
VIII this grand vision often come,
Bright mirrored by the waveless sea.
Where prairie flowers spread their glow
III see thy beauties dwelling there,
Nor Will forget them when the air
Is filed with biting frost and snow.

"WAR is HE'LL"

So General Sherman said, and be-
Heving him we believe it to be the du-
ty of every Christian in America to
oppose war with Great Britain in
regard to this dispute about boun-
Diary line in South America.
We believe that any nominally
Christian man or woman who advo-
Gates such a war needs conversion as
much as any heathen, and that any
nominally Christian minister who
joins in urging such war is minis
ter of the devil and not of Christ.
We believe that in this exigency it
would be well for every Christian wo-
man in the land beginning perhaps
with s'The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union') to wear some en-
blem of mourning until the danger is
passed.
We believe that continued prayers
should be offered in every Christian
pulpit and in every prayer meeting
that the Almighty will forgive our
great national sins and save us from
such an unchristian and unholy war.

Accordingly the English settlers at
tempted to wrest political privileges
from the Beers, with widespread dis
turbances as a result. The English
men appealed to their countrymen in
Cape Colony for protection, and Cecil
Rhodes, the premier and president of
the British South African company,
despatched DIR. Jameson with small
force to the scene of the disturbances.
Developments seem to indicate that
the protection of English interests has
been made the excuse for the inva-
sion of the Transvaal, and it is sus-
pected that the existence of mines
yielding s35 10000 year may be
partially accountable for the course
pursued by DR.. Jameson in the South
African Republic.
It is said to be the ambition of the
Premier Rhodes to see the whole vast
territory in the region consolidated
into a South African empire, but it is
possible his hopes may be dissipated.
The Beers have appealed to Germany
and France for aid, and inasmuch as
these two countries have important
interests at stake, the chances are
that they will seek to have voice in
the trouble.
Late advices report bad defeat for
Jameson and his party, but inasmuch
as the British Colonial office, which
thinks the armed invasion was too
precipate, has ordered the British
forces back to Cape Colony, the re-
port of a battle may be taken with a
grain of allowance. Free Press.

THE ENGLISH IN THE I'RANSUAAL

The attention Of our British cousins
has been suddenly diverted from the
Venezuelan boundary dispute to an
incipient war in South Africa, which
is replete with ominous possibilities.
The scene Of the trouble is not only
far removed from Great Britain, but
it is so situated that prolongation Of
the hostilities may involve England
in complications with other European
powers In order to fully understand
the present situation it is necessary
to glance at the previous history of
the Transvaal and its people.
When the Cape of Good Hope pass
ed from the control of Holland to
Great Britain, the Beers, who are of
Dutch descent and noted for their
hatred of British rule, migrated to
Natal. British energy followed them
there and again they were forced to
move on, until they settled in the
Transvaai, which is between 700 and
they established a republic, which is
now known as the South African Re
public, and instituted measures to
ensure Dutch supremacy. The Beers
established limited political rights SO
that other nationalities and especial
ly the English, could not readily ac-
uuire influence in governmental af-
fairs.
When it was discovered that the
Transvaal was delightful country
and rich in mineral resources English
men. true to their instinct. pushed
their way into the forbidden land and
gradually absorbed the commerce of
the country. But while they formed
the most important element in the
business life of the republic, so that
they were compelled to bear large
burdens of taxation, they were re-
fused representation in the govern
ment

Henry M. Stanley, in an article on
the development of Africa," which
is to appear in the February Century,
recalls the fact that troubles with the
Beers in southern Africa first induced
David Livingstone to travel to the
north, and so led the way to the open
ing of Equatorial Africa. Livingstone
who was missionary at Kolobeng,
accused his Boer neighbors of cruelty
to the natives. They resented his in
terference, and threatened to drive
him from the country. He published
their misdeeds in the Cape newspa
pers, and his house was burned in re-
venge. This led to his leaving south
ern Africa and going to region where
he could follow in peace his vocation
as missionary, unmolested by the
BOer farmers.

DIR. Talmage, in the presence of the
great men Of this and other nations,
among other things, said as follows
1t has been said that if we go over
there to interfere on another cOnti-
nent, that will imply the right for 9th
er nations to interfere with affairs on
this continent, and so the Monroe doc
trine is jeopardized. No, no! Presi-
ment of every intelligent Ameri
can when he thundered from the
White House a warning to all nations,
that there is not one acre or one inch
more of ground on this continent for
any transatlantic government to Oc-
cupy And by that doctrine we stand
now and shall forever stand But there
is a doctrine as much higher than the
Monroe doctrine as the heavens are
higher than the earth, and that is the
doctrine of humanitarianiSm and SYM
pathy and Christian helpfulness which
one cold December midnight, with
loud and multitudinous chant, awak-
ened the shepherds. Wherever there
is a wound it is our duty, whether as
individuals or AS nations, to balsam it.
Wherever there is knife of assassin
alton lifted it is our duty to ward off
the blade. Wherever men are perse-
cuted for their religion it is our duty
to break that arm Of power, whether
it be thrust forth from Protestant
Church or Catholic cathedral, or q
Jewish synagogue or mosque of Is
lam We all recognize the right on a
small scale. If going down the road,
we find ruffian maltreating child,
Or human brute insulting a woman,
we take a hand in the contest if we
are not towards, and, though we be
slight in personal presence, because
of our Indignation we come to weigh
about twenty tons, and the harder we
punish the villain the louder our con-
science applauds US. In such case we
do not keep our hands in our pockets,
arguing that if we interfere with the
brute the brute might think he would
have a right to interfere with US, and
SO ieopardize the Monroe doctrine.

THE TURKISH TERROR.

To those who have studied the
course of the Turkish government to-
ward it's Armenian subjects it's refusal
to allow the Red Gross society to sue
cor the suffering Christians in Turkey
is not surprising. The sanguine ex-
not been realized. The red crescent
which her fellow -laborers, out of de-
ference to Moslem prejudices, would
have worn on their arms would not,
as the Turks we'll knew, have banished
the cross implanted III their hearts;
and their presence would have imped-
ed the prosecution of a work which
has been deliberately planned and
successfully carried out. This last ac-
ton of the government of the sultan
ought to convince the most unrefect-
ing that the determination of those
Arrnenians who adhere to the Chris
tian faith has been resolved on and in
the absence Of foreign interference
will be completed. Looking at it from
a non moral point of view credit must
be given the Turk for sagacity in di-
vining that the jealousies and divi-
sions of the Christian powers would
prevent their coming forward with
their arms to rescue the Armenians,
promptitude in beginning the work of
slaughter and thoroughness in its ex-
ecution. The number of the mas
sacred in Armenia is estimated at 5O,-
OOO At this rate it will not be long
before the sultan will cease to be
troubled either with the Armenian
question or Armenians.

GiRLLSLE'S BONDS.

The present loan will be the fourth
one brought out while Mr.. Carlisle has
been secretary of the treasury. The
first one, in January 1894, was $780,
600, 900, five per cent ten year bonds,
which were sold at 117.223 or on
three per cent basis.
The second loan of $50, 900 900, five
per cent, ten year bonds of the same
issue which were sold in November,
1894, went for III OFT, Or on a 27s per
cent ba-ie.
The third loan, which was made last
February was $62 ,315, 400, four per
cent, thirty year bonds at .496, or
on a 334 per cent basis.
On the first issue the interest to ma
turity will aggregate $25,000,0 900. On
the second, deducting one coupon,
the interest will be $22, 500, 900. On
the third the interest for thirty years
will be about $74 800, 900, while on the
present issue of 500, 200, 900, the in
terest for 20 years will amount to
SIG, ,000, 600 making a total of about
23S ,OO0, 900 in interest alone, which the
obliga tions created during Secretary
Carlisle's term of office will cost the
country.
Added to the principal of these four
issues, which amount to $262, 900, 900,
the total obligations amount to $497,-
900, ,OOO
The present interest bearing debt of
the United States is $747, 1860, ,61O. The
aggregate debt, including all kinds of
notes and certificates, is 81 ,693, ,347 135.
Against this there is cash offset of
$787, ,57S, AT. The annual charge is
something over $50, 900, 900 on the in
terest bearing debt.
The interest. bearing dept when the
Republicans turned over to the gov
ernment to the Democrats in 1893 was
$685., ,034, 260. In 1865 it was 50, 1881 $780,
294, this huge sum being chargeable
to the War of Rebellion and on that
account traceable, more or less direct
ly, to the Democratic party.
The lively interest which has sud-
denly sprung up among some who
choose to denominate themselves as
ssyoung republicans suggests the
thought that there may be some poll
tical aspirations lurking around
among the younger elements of the
party, and that there are fears that
the boys cannot get into politics soon
enough, unless the old set is bottled
up and that at once. The attempt to
make class distinctions is always a
failure, and this will not amount to
much as thing by itself. To draw
line between young republicans and
old republicans is difficult matter,
and yet it is a more difficult thing to
determine just how old a man must
be when his party shall shelve him,
or just how thick the airy down must
be on the young mans phiz to permit
him to enter the arena as subject
for political office holding. Do not
draw any very taut lines, boys, be-
cause the old fellows are quite numer-
Gus, active and skillful yet.

Much figuring is going on among
statisticians with reference to the
amount of gold held by the people of
this country in one way or another,
but, 'sscale'' down the amount as they
may, they still have enough in the
country, outside of the treasury and
the banks, to absorb the loan asked
by the government two or three times
over Meantime there seems to be a
lull in gold operations pending the
proposed loan, and probably the stat
isticians may see cause to change their
figures when the result is finally
known.

The fact that England and Germany
are seeking the friendship of Russia
would seem to indicate that the latter
power is taking the place of Germany
as arbiter of the destinies of Europe.
Just at present Russia seems inclined
to profess friendship for each. The
best to side. If it turns out that he
gives England his favor, it is safe to
say that there will be no war; but if
he makes an alliance with the Kaiser,
the deepest humiliation on the part of
England.

Popular feeling in this country is in
favor of the Cuban insurgents, un-
questionably; but it may be doubted
if they have yet made sufficient head
way to justify friendly action on the
part of congress. They have not won
a substantial victory, or captured an
important place. Let them take Ha-
vana, for instance, and then they will
hav good claim to recognition.
Discoveries of gold in some of the
older States, especially in the South,
have been reported of late, and the
United States is likely to increase the
lead it holds among the countries pro-
ducing the precious metal. There is
a prospect that the gold output of the
United States in 1896 will not be far
from 10000, 900. The increase in Col
orado alone last year was over $6,-
100000
Our silver dollars have not improv-
ed in intrinsic value during the past
year, according to the quotations of
the price of the white metal in the
London market. They are still 'sffty-
cent dollars''-rather less than more.
Their bullion value has ranged from
$O.4627 to $O.52653 during the twelve
month, or an average of $0.49168. Yet
the silverites insist that this country
should adhere to the old rates of 16 to
l.
