TIE METAMORPHOSIS OF HOLIDAY.

The annual tribute of praise and gratitude TO
The soldiers who died for the Union will begin
to-day in this vicinity with sympathetic services
In MANY churches Doubtless to those who still
retain the memory of bitter personal losses IN
the war, and to the Veterans whose ranks are
growing thin. these commemorative exercises
will seem far more appropriate than tomorrow
cheerful round Of sport and recreation. 1t is
not unnatural that many should regret the we'll
nigh complete reversal of the mood which for
merly prevailed on Memorial Day. but they
should not mSinterpret nor feel aggrleved by
the change II is a mercful provision for the
comfort and welfare of The world that the pro-
foundest grief Is consoled ny time. The lives or
most would be inoerabe If sorrows were never
healed.
HAPPILY also the history OF societies reflects

crisis the sources of pride and JOY as well as
Invaluable incentives to loyal service. The gen.
Grafton which is now in the prime Of activity
and power has only faint recollections of the
sacrifices and terrors and agony Of the War
But it has an intelligent and constantly deepen
ing appreciation Of the blessings which the coun-
try owes to that stupendous struggle Indeed
AT the time the result so uplifted the hearts and
minds of those who had won that their sense OF
what the country had gained outweighed their
estimate Of what it had lost, and ii would be
inappropriate and irrational IL now. more than
thirty years after the War. the prevailing spirit,
even on day officially consecra'ed TO the mem
ory Of the dead, should be a spirit of gloom and
sadness. The Nation rejoices in the unity and
strength derived from their complete devotion,
nor is any dlsrespect for those who still mourn
either intended or shown in the use which is
now made Of holiday which was formerly OBJ
served In a very different manner.
Memorial Day was appointed with reason at
a time Of year when Nature is lavish of deco
ratlons and the earth is beautiful, hut the sea-
son Is also largely accountable for the fact that
a sorrowful anniversary has been converted into
a festival of gladness. And ii is well that the
change has taken place. No other holiday In the

the memory of the departed gratitude to the
heroes who are still living and sympathy with

OPPOSES SUNDAY PAPERS.
a New York Woman Says They are
The Right Hand of the Devil.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The chapel of the
Broadway Tabernacle was well filled
yesterday morning by members of the
Women's Christian Temperance union
The occasion was the regular morning
prayer meeting and the main address
was delivered by Mrs. James The
speaker took for her topic the observ-
ance of the Sabbath. She said in
part:
The proper observance of Sunday is
falling off sadly in this land of ours.
L can remember when I was a girl 1
had to ask permission of my father to
walk in the woods on Sunday, and he
would only let me go provided 1 went
alone. 1 thank that father and my
heavenly Father for that training.
do not advocate the Sabbath of our
fOrefatherS, the ISrae1itiSh Sabbath or
any particular Sabbath that is denom-
national in its character and observ-
ance, but L do advocate Gods Sab
bath.
I'm the present day one of the great
est evils of our Sabbath is the Sunday
newspaper. Why, would you believe it.

know none of you women present al
low Sunday paper to come into your
homes, but you should try to influence
your friends and neighbors to stop tax
ing them. They are the right hand
of the devil. They form the entering
wedge for all kinds of evil. If there
must be a big paper once a week, let
ii be issued on Monday"

PRAISE FOR PETER.

The Chicago-Tines Herald gives SEN
ator PETER his due as a dignified, hon
est and well meaning man and repre-
sentative of his party in the following
editorial:
There is not much in Senator PETER
political opinions that the Times Her
aid can commend, While it regards his
financial theories as those of a Specu-
lative dreamer. His ideal place is in
the senate of Utopia, where the people
are altruists of the best type. In such
a community he would be a useful per-
son.
But Senator PETERS political beliefs
are one thing and his senatorial bearing
another. and in company with the Kan
sas City Star, the Louisville Courier
Journal and other newspapers, the
Times Herald most earnestly and can
didly commends the latter.
Senator PETERS term expires next
March, as do the terms of many other
senators. But while Pritchard is at
Raleigh, Dubois al Boise City, Hans
brough at Bismarck, Squire at Olympia
Vest at Springfield, Mitchell at Salem
and Perkins of Sacramento, each and
all of them pulling wires ana intriguing
to be reelected, Senator PETER is dis
charging his duties as he understands
them at Washington. His department
is dignified and praiseworthy and alto
gether in accordance with the best
types of senatorial decorum when the
senate was in its highest and best es-
tate

EXPANDING CORN MARKET

r. G. Dun & Co. last week called at
tention to the fact that enormous ex-
ports of corn are taking the place of
wheat in foreign consumption.
There has been a persistent effort
on the part of the government through
its agents, for a number of years, to
induce the Europeans to eat corn bread.
Hitherto their efforts have not met with
the success which was desired for them.
Now that necessity. or, more strictly.
the high price of wheat, has come to
it's aid, they may be more easily edu-
Gated.
Kansas being a producer of both
wheat and corn will occupy a position
similar to the Africans trap, which was
warranted to catch a coon comm
and agwine." When wheat is low Kan
sas farmers can sell corn and when
corn is low they can sell wheat. When
both are high they can take advantage
of the conditions.
Added to the greatly increased for
eign demand for corn is the shortening
of the route to market, through Gal
weston and New Orleans, which tends
to make an encouraging future pros
pect for agricuIturists of the Sunf1Ower
state.
A winter such as the present one has
been so far is almost invariably fol-
lowed by big corn crop and it is no
small item to feel that the market for
this cereal is constantly expanding.

A TREMENDOUS BORE.
COwenh0Yen's Ambitious Pro-
ject to Pierce Smuggler Mt.
a Tunnel Three Miles Long to Con-
meet the Shafts of Many Mines.

Smuggler mountain, one of the Rock
les which is rich in silver, is to be
pierced clear through the base by rail-
road tunnel. When the big bore is COM
pleted, it will be So miles in length
and the central part will be 2 miles
below the snow capped peak under
which is such wealth of white metal.
There are many mines on Smuggler
mountain whose shafts reach down
thousands of feet. Prior to 1878 they
were all good paying properties. for sill
yer commanded such price as made it
profitable to haul up the ore and trans
port it on muleback down the side of
the mountain and for many miles far
ther to point where railroad connection
could be made with the smelters But
later the price fell SO low that only the
mines bringing up the richest ore could
afford to employ this costly means of
transportation.
About seven years ago even the richest
mines found that they could hardly af
ford to operate, and about this time H.
+. Cowenhoven, an old miner and prac-
teal engineer, suggested to the mine
owners a way out of their difficulty. He
proposed to dig a big tunnel into the
side of the mountain which should strike
the drifts from all the big mines.
Through this tunnel they could take
their ore out to the base of the mountain
whence it could readily be transported
to the smelters.
Cowenhoven's project was severely
criticised by many mining men. and he
was even ridiculed. but he went ahead
and formed company to dig the tunnel.
The work was begun in 1889 by the
Cowenhoven Mining, Tunnel and Drain
