Congress.

Congress rejissembled Tuesday after the
holiday recess. A feature of interest in
the Senate proceedings was the submission
of memorandum, prepared by the depart
ment of state, on the method of "recogni-
tion' of foreign governments and foreign
states by the government of the United
States from 1880 to 1897. This memoran-
DUN quotes long list of precedents tend
ing to show the accuracy of Secretary
Olney's contention that the recognition of
foreign governments is exclusively an ex-
ecutive function, in which Congress has
no part. 1t is well understood in the SEN
ate that the Cameron resolution for the
recognition of the Cuban republic is not
to be pressed for consideration.
The Loud bill, to amend the laws relat-
ing TO second class mail matter, was
passed by the House Wednesday, the vote
being l44 TO 105. The principal features
of the bill are those denying to the mails
as second class matter serial novel publi-
cations, and Withdrawing from news
agents the privilege of returning to their
principals, at the pound rate, unsold cop
les of periodicals. The abuse of the "sam-
pie copy provision is also shut off.

Evolution in Theology.

Theology is the science of religion. 1,
is the result of an attempt made by men to
state in an orderly and systematic manner
the facts respecting the life of God in the
soul of man. 1t involves intellectual def
milton of the various forms of conscious
ness which constitute the religious life. Its
relation to religion is the relation of other
sciences to the vital phenomena which
they endeavor to explain. With the growth
of the human intellect there comes wiser
study of life, better understanding of it,
new definition of its terms, and a new
classification of its phenomena. The life
does not change, but mans understanding
of it changes. There is a new astronomy,
though the stars are old; new botany,
though vegetable life is unchanged; a new
chemistry, though the constituent elements
of the universe are the same. So there is
a new theology, though not a new religion.
God, sin, repentance, forgiveness, love, re-
main eternally unchanged, but the deini-
tions of God, sin, repentance, forgiveness
and love are changed from generation to
generation. There is as little danger of
undermining religion by new definitions of
theology as there is of blotting out the
stars from the heavens by new astronomy.
Lyman Abbott in the Outlook.

The Business Failures of the Year

The list of business failures throughout
the United States for the calendar year
1896 is, with one exception, the longest
since records of this character have been
compiled. 1t remains for the panic year
1898 to present a larger total, and for that
year and for the year 1854, which was also
visited by financial disaster, to furnish
larger aggregates of liabilities of those who
failed in business.
The total number of failures during 1896
is -, ll2, an increase of Ii per cent COM
pared with 1895, in which the business
embarrassments increased per cent, con-
trasted with the year before. In 1894,
which was marked by extreme depression
in commercial and industrial circles, the
total number of failures fell off sharply,
fully Is per cent, from the record in 1898,
when the aggregate was 1880, the largest
total ever reported for calendar year.
During 1896 the aggregate assets of those
embarrassed in business were nearly 81
per cent of the total liabilities, the signifi-
canoe of which lies in its contrast with the
record of year ago, when the proportion
of assets to liabilities was 50 per cent, and
to the exhibit for 1894, when the proper
tion was j3 per cent.

The Boy Gladstone.

Sir Roderick Murchison, the famous nat
uralst, has left it on record that Gladstone
was "the prettiest little boy that ever went
to Eton." Most of us can testify from our
own knowledge that Mr.. Gladstone lately
is the handsomest old man who ever went
to Eton or anywhere else. Visitors to
Eton are shown, of course, the name of
Gladstone carved into wall or a woodwork
here and there. But, naturally, no one
ever goes to a place where famous man
once lived without being shown his name
carved, as is confidently affirmed, by his
own hand. At Eton Gladstone's closest
friend was that Arthur Hallam to whose
gifts and virtues Lord Tennyson inscribed
his greatest poem, "In Memoriam."
William Gladstone was not much of an
athlete, as the term was then understood
He did not care much about schoolboy
games of any kind. He was very fond of
sculling, and kept boat for his own use,
and he was then, as ever since, a tremen-
dous walker. He walked very fast and he
walked great distances. His delight was
to wander about through all the lovely
places surrounding Windsor, in company
with few boys of his own age and of his
own tastes.-Justin Mccarthy in the
Outlook.

The Outlook appears this month in the
form of the standard magazines. The change
adds much to the convenience and attract
iveness of this popular paper, and the ap-
pearance of the initial number for January
beginning the 55th volume) is indeed at
tractive. This first issue is one of the
monthly illustrated magazine numbers
which have been a feature of the Outlook
during the past year. These numbers con-
tain about twice as many pages as the ordi-
nary issues, together with as many illustra-
tions as are found in any magazine. The
Outlook is thus both a weekly newspaper
and monthly magazine. A year ago it
made this departure, and the change has met
with hearty approval from all readers. AS
a weekly journal of all that is best in news,
literature, art, religion, and intelligent dis
cussion of the practical affairs of every
day life the Outlook holds position which
is unique.

To Save Old Ironsides.

In American history there is no naval
vessel so celebrated as the frigate Constitu-
tion, or as she is more familiarly known,
"Oh Ironsides.n The old hulk is now in
the Portsmouth navy yard, where she is
used as receiving ship, but so interesting
are the historic associations which cluster
around the old vessel that a movement has
been on foot for some years to rebuild the
old ship as a memory of the struggles in
which she engaged. The ship was launched
in Boston hundred years ago. Restored
to her original form in battery and rigging,
she would be interesting not only because
of her historical fame, but as type of the
best naval equipment of the closing years
of the eighteenth century. Great Britain
has thus taken the Victory, which was
Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar and, restor-
ed to her original form the vessel is now
used as the flagship of the comu ander- in
chief at the Portsmouth, Eng, navy yard,
where she is visited every year by thoCs-
ands of tourists. The Hartford, which
was Admiral Farragut's battleship in the
Gulf campaign, has, on that account been
saved from the destruction which would
otherwise have overtaken her.
The movement in favor of the restora-
ton of the Constitution has taken on new
life in this, the centennial year of the YES
sells existence and the Massachusetts his
torical society has adopted memorial to
Congress urging that action be taken.

The Panama Canal Mnr Be nuilt

1t seems the Panama canal project did
not die with Count de Lesseps, as was sup
posed, and the way the work is being ad-
vanced now indicates possibility that the
great project will yet be pushed to compile
tion. 1t must be remembered that in few
branches has modern science made greater
advances than in engineering operations
like this, 1t is comparatively easy now
to make huge excavations such as, few
years ago, would have been difficult, if not
impossible, and the cut may be finished
for much less than the anticipated expen-
diture. Besides, there is reason to believe
that the extravagant system formerly in
use, by which, it is believed, quite as much
money was wasted or stolen as was usefully
employed on the canal, no longer prevails,
but the work will be prosecuted on more
businesslike principles, The Panama
canal thus becomes a serious menace
to the Nicaragua canal enterprise, and a
subject for the United States to consider in
connection with the Monroe doctrine.

Vermont the 1Ith state.

The Nation, in its last issue, says
that Kentucky was "the first to come into
the Union after the original thirteen" "
The school boys in this state are taught
that Vermont was the 14th state, having
been admitted March t. 1871; while "Old
Kaintuckn came in June l, 1892. But it

The fact that several Brattleboro young
men have enjoyed the advantages of the
Massachusetts, Institute of Technology,
of which Cen Francis A. Walker was the
president, and that his wife was descended
from one of the oldest and best families of
the town, makes General Walkers death a
local loss. He was man so full of life
and of such intense energy that the public
naturally thought of him as laying his
armor down only at the command of old
age; and yet he had accomplished a life
work. His natural gifts were so great,
his education so complete, his perception
so acute, and his power of execution SO
quick, that at the age of SO he had accom-.
plished more than other men would have
accomplished in hundred years.
He was distinguished soldier during
the rebellion, and since then, besides
his services as an instructor and lecturer
in schools and colleges, as superintendent
of the census, and in other public capaci-
ties, he has written library of books upon
scientific, economic, and other subjects.
But the most lasting monument to his
memory will be his work for the institute
of which he had been the head for the
past 10 years, and which he had built up
by his indomitable will and perseverance
He easily ranked with the ripest scholars
and with the ablest and most useful men
of his time. The Boston Transcript ex,
presses the estimate of those who best
knew the value of his personal and public
services when it says edltorially that
"his sudden death will make void in more
places and wider circles of influence thar
would be left by the passing away of any
other citizen Of Boston,

The Cuban Trocha.

The war reports from Cuba have great
deal to say about the ''trocha." 1t is a
new term in military science, aud there is
more or less confusion in the public mind
as to what it means. In a general way a
trocha signifies a strategic line across a
given scope of territory, separating one
army from another. The line in the pres
ent instance extends from Havana on the
north to the southern coast of the island,
and its original purpose was to divide the
insurgent forces, part of which were in the
western portion of the island under Maceo,
and the rest in the eastern portion under
Gomez and Garcia. 1t consists prnci-
pally of a barbed wire fence three feet six
inches high, with sentinel detachments i'm
mediately behind it, About 40 yards back
of it is a trench three feet wide and four
feet deep, with breastwork of palmetto
logs, and 80 yards further back are log
houses in which the troops are quartered.
The number of soldiers required to guard
the whole line is about $1,000. Its con-
struction cost much labor on the part of
the Spanish troops in the heat of torrid
sun and under other trying conditions, and
hundreds of them died before it was fin
ished. 1t was Gen. Weyler's idea of COM
prehensve and effective strategy, and he is
said TO be very proud of it,
