DEPEW ON PROSPECTIVE PROS
PERITY.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew has been
giving his views regarding the return
OF prosperity. He cannot be said to be
optimistic nor pessimistic. He says
that things will become better, but
that they will become worse before
they become better, which remark re-
calls the saying Of a famous English
man in the Long Parliament, that
Things must be worse before they are
better" And they did become worse.
There followed the English revolution
and the decapitation of Charles the
First. Mr.. Depew can hardly expect
matters in this country to go to such
extremes before they become better.
He says that the tariff policy, the
currency policy and the foreign policy
must all be settled before there is any
Improvement in existing conditions. II
this be so, Improvement of existing
conditions is a long way off, for the
settlement of all these policies means
that there must be an overturning of
present policies. In the overturning of
these policies Mr.. Depew doubtless
sees where things will become worse
If a complete reversal of them is made
If things are to be turned upside down.
they will surely become worse than
they are; beyond that no one can say
what will be.
Mr.. Depew says he has in his pos
session a letter from an eminent Eu-
ropean statesman asking if it is true
that socialistic revolt is raging here,
and whether it viii eliminate in at
tacks on property and vested interests.
Rumors like these. says Mr.. Depew,
destroy our prestige. This European
statesman must have more eminence
than information to ask such ques-
lions. Yet he is not entirely to blame
for asking them. What he asks is the
legitimate consequence of what the
wild and vicious goldbug press and
orators were saying all during the
campaign about Mr.. Bryan and the
cause he advocated. The vindictive-
ness and pure cussedness they dis
played have rarely been equaled, never
surpassed. If these rumors have
tended to destroy our prestige, then
the blame for it's partial destruction
is the work of the goldbugs, of which
class Mr.. Depew himself is a distin-
guished example. They lied about and
maligned the silver men as men were
never lied about and maligned before.
1t was they who sowed the wind, and
if a whirlwind is being reaped now
they are entitled to the harvest.
We may have taken Mr.. Depew, the
great joker, too seriously, but if we
have it is because he seems to have
aiken himself very seriously.

EDUCATIONAL TEST FOR IMMI-
GRANTS.

One of the strangest things in life
is the faith of so many people in the
efficacy of laws to cure all our human
ills. They believe that an enactment
placed upon the statute book is a sure
cure for a certain evil. The recent i'm
migration law passed by congress is
to some extent legislation of this char
acter. Many believe that the educa-
tional test that it imposes will free this
country from the most serious
evils attendant upon foreign i'm
migration Many of the worst
men who have come to our
shores as immigrants would not
have been barred out by the educa-
tional test. 1t is a desirable test, but
it is by no means the complete test
many think it. The standard of fitness
for citizenship should be high, but the
rules for ascertaining who come up
to it cannot be made too hard and
fast.
But TO return to the educational test
for citizenship. Speaking of a negro, of
Kansas City, of bad and unsavory rep
utation, the Star of that city says:
THE case of the negro, Bradbury, is a
proof that education, which is often
Wanted as a moral panacea Especially
for colored folks) does not always
work Bradbury in his youth enjoyed
the advantages of Lincoln institute at
Jefferson City, yet this did not prevent
his becoming the associate of some of
the worst white politicians in Kansas
City, and the tool of others even more
depraved, and at last a self-confessed
ballot-box suffer; and yesterday he
was arrested for threatening to kill
his wife. Intelligence alone is not
sufficient to enable a man to maintain
his moral integrity or exempt him
from the rule, the descent to hell is
easy if he gets in with the Kansas
City gang"
Without strong moral nature edu-
cation in a man may be the means of
making him more dangerous enemy
to society than he otherwise would be.
The criminal classes that give the Off
GERS of the law the most trouble, aside
from the ordinary infractors of city
ordinances. are usually men of more
than ordinary intelligence, while the
forgers. the countefeiters, the conf
'dence men generally possess a high in
telligence.
If in the admission of immigrants to
this country a satisfactory test as to
moral character could be had it would
be invaluable, for character is of more
value than ability.

rate of duty on steel castings is more
than sufficient for the protection of this
branch of industry in the United
States is best evidenced by the fact
that the castings made of steel are
sold in England at between 30 and 50
per cent higher prices than obtained
in this country, and in France at over
per cent higher than prevail in the
United States.
The Midvaie Steel company is at
present earnestly engaged in increas-
ing its trade abroad, and it greatly
fears that any increase of duty in the
metal schedules, by exciting retalia-
tory measures on the part of foreign
nations, may have disastrous results TO
this new expansion of trade.
While not wishing in any way to
point out to your honora BILE committee
the method by which American man
ufacturerS might be encouraged, the
Midvale Steel company would respect
fully offer to the consideration of its
members the suggestion that by max
ing such treaties with neighboring
friendly nations on a reciprocal COM
mercial basis that would induce them

cial intercourse with the United States,
be doing a patriotic act and deserve

Zens.

PARTISAN SCHOOL HISTORIES.

The bloody shirt" has not been dis
played for a number of years. but the
spirit of the bloody Shirt has in
vaded the question of school histories.
A number of school histories have
been objected to by the G.. A r. au-
thorities for their account of various
matters connected with the war. The
Confederate Veterans association hIs
also found fault with various school
histories. The association prepared a
list of some eleven school histories
which it recommended without hesita-
ton.
The editor of the New York Sun has
procured copies of all these histories,
and has examined them to see if they
were impartial in their accounts, but
came to the conclusion that they are
very partisan. They are written"

gives many examples of bitter south

school histories, such as the following.

NEW YoRK's POOR.

The New York Journal says THAI
Notwithstanding the Fictitious appear
ance of prosperity created by the un-
precedentedly lavish expenditure
among the rich, restitution, starvation
and misery have never been so wide
spread or so bitter in New York as
they are today; that hundreds of
thousands of human beings in
this opulent metropolis, crowded as
it is with evidences of overlooking
wealth, have neither food nor means
of warmth. Unless they have, imme-
date assistance they will perish miser-
ably.
1t then calls upon all people who are
able to help their more unfortunate
fellow men to come forward and aid
its fund for the relief of the poor, it
having started it with a subscription
of a thousand dollars. If what the
Journal says about the number of peo-
pie in New York who have neither
food nor the means of warmth is even
approximately correct, then there must
be almost as much suffering in the
greatest city in this country as there
is in some of the famine districts of
India. No doubt there are thousands
of people in New York who scarcely
know where to look for food and
warmth, many in fact who must de-
pend upon charity for them, but to say
that there are hundreds of thousands
of human beings in New York who
have neither food nor the means of
warmth, not merely borders upon SEN
sationalism, but is sensa tionalism pure
and simple. No possible good can
come of making such statements;
their exaggeration but Injuries the
cause they are intended to advance.

Willie's Prayer.

San Francisco Post: Little Willie
wanted drum. His mother thought. il
would be a good opportunity TO give
Willie an object lesson on the efficacy
of prayer, so advised him to try it. When
he knelt down by his little bed that night
and bowed his head his mother slipped
the drum on the bed and Willie prayed:
Now l lay me down to sleep

/ want drum.
If / should die before 1 wake
/ want a drum.
I pray the Lord my soul to take

When Willie raised his head there lay
the drum. His eyes fairly protruded in
amazement. Finally he exclaimed in an
ecstacy of joy:
Where in hlazes did that drum come
