was intended by it's author to serve a
high moral purpose. It's hero was a sad
scapegrace. He got himself into in
Vulnerable difficulties that do not we'll
hide our shamed faces, for Tom Jones
with all his sins upon his head would
have turned away N nausea from the
newspaper accounts of the trial of Os-
car Wilde that RECALLED a generation too
nice to read of his adventures in the
vernacular. Whenever he sinned, he
suffered. When he came within the in
t1uence of a pure womans love, he
found in 1t salvation from all that had
lured him away from right. His robust
and careless youth, his lapses from viz
tue, his suffering and repentances, and
his recognition that he could not de-
serve or receive the crown of life until
he had made himself worthy of it con-
vey a moral lesson that the centuries
have not reversed, and whose need
seems quite as great in an era of See
ly dinners as in a period when men and
women used plain words plainly, and
took their vices like their liquor with
ant much water; but were neither hypo-
critics nor the devotees of unnatural
viciousness or that most fatal disease
of humanity, the debauching of the i'm
agination
The story Of Tom Jones, therefore, as
told by the great granddaughter Of it's
author, is one without moral meaning
or moral purpose. 1t omits the record
of offense, and leaves that OF punish
ment Why Tom should have suffered
as he did for acts of which there is no
whisper is ineXplicable. Why he should
have triumphed over his Weaknesses
is as unintelligible. To what he was
helped by the strongest power in g.
mans life, or why he should have earn
ed that reward is q riddle without a
key. The eXpurgated tom Jones" is
an eXtraVag anza, where the actors are
mere mariOnettes, unknOwing flesh and
blood; where there is no sequence Of
cause ana effect; where rewards and
punishments are assigned without
moral reason, with the capriciousness
of an African despot; and where motive
and purpose and the divine growth of
character through suffering end loss
disappear in the fantastic dances Of a
moral bedlam. In no other than a
hysterical age could such an act of
vandalism have been conceived. We be-
lieVe that even N this it's atrOcious
violation Of every canon OF true liter
airy art, its profane touch upon the
work Of a master, will provoke no
more uproarious outburst Of mingled
amusement and indignation than it's
evidence Of utter insensibility to the
canons OF morality IL either literature
or life.

THEY HEIGHTENED LIFE.

The recent death of Isaac Pitman,
most worthily knighted, takes from Wis
IDLE existence the last of three men
who, in this century, have done service
in lengtheniSg the term of life for
their fellows if length of days is meas
ured by what men can accomplish in
them. If one is enabled to do that in
one day that took two before, why is
not his life doubled with his capacity
to do? What other standard has the
world set up with which to measure
the merit Of its great men but
their achievements, what they have
done? What else is the signif-
canoe of the parable of the talents?
If he is a benefactor who makes one
blade of grass to grow where but one
grew before, how much a greater one is
he who enables his fellows to do two
things where they could do but one
before?
Who can calculate the increased
quantity Of productive effort men can
exert in the period Of their activities
because George Stephenson conceived
the idea that steam, long utilized in
driving the pistons of stationary en-
gines in the mills, might be used to
drive the pistOns of engines mounted
on wheels and drawing trains of wag-
Ons after them? Imagine, if you can.
the world RENTED to the means of
transport and communication enjoyed
prior to 1880. Imagine what it would
be for each one of US, the tedious stage
coach Journeys, the slow movement of
letters and papers, the time lost, the
social conditions impaired, the indus
tries destroyed. Stephenson made Il
possible that a laborer in Boston. bv
two days labor, can supply himself
with -four for a year made from wheat
grown in the Dakotas. By how much
has he increased the capacity of that
workman?
Nature does nothing by halves. Ste
phenson's complement was Morse. A
strike of the telegraphers on a trunk
line demonstrates how essential Morse
was to Stephenson. Morse made if
possible for a man, skilled in knowing
what to skip in his paper. to read
what the world did in history making
the day before, while he eats his break
fast. He gave the material advantage
to the captain Of industry to dictate
and send his order for the movement
of products across seas and continents
while his predecessor fifty years ago
would have been engaged in writing
out and mailing the order.
Close after both came Pitman. the
third in this trinity of time-savers, with
his combination of strokes and curves
and dashes and dots, to shorten and
quicken the process Of transferring
from the teeming brain to the record
ing paper the nimble thought imna-
tient Of the pens slow movement
Pitman made thought wait on the
tongue instead Of the hand, which now

that would take hours to write out,
and turns to other affairs while the
stenographer transcribes them The
documents, economizing hours for eff
fort in other directions. The reporter
takes the testimony that witnesses give
as fast as spoken and the movement
Of litigation is accelerated. Millions Of
men accomplish more each working
day because Pitmann's genius released

rious pen Flooding the devious path of

man who will be sure to have big
sales and heavy profits. Our local
manufacturers do not not need to spend
the same amount of money in order to
command an equal advan age, for while
the outsider must advertise largely not
only in st. Paul, but in every other
city where he does business, the local
man need concern himself first Of all
only with his own city. If the men and
women in this community could have 1t
kept daily before their eyes that GER
tain specific brands of commonly used
articles are made in st. Paul, and that
by ordering and using these they would
help ST. Paul, and so contribute to their
own interests, it would work mighty
change.
1t seems to us that the home manu-
facturers who are now actively inter-
ested in expanding their market right
here should use due business sagacity
and follow the lines that have been
marked out for them by successful
business men everywhere else. Let
them keep before the people of this city
constantly, through its public press,
what are the principal commodities of
home make which it is desired to in
troduce into home use. Let every
reader of the daily paper have
before his eyes a list of the in
dustries that he ought TO patronize and
the things that he ought to buy, so
that, by helping his neighbor, he may
help himself. We are utterly mistaken
in our estimate of our own people, of
their loyalty to their city and their will
ingness to contribute to it's upbuilding,
if it would not be found that all that
they need is to know what to buy and
where to buy it, We venture to say
that there are not 500 people out of the
10000 citizens of st. Paul who could
make out a list today embracing one
tenth of the manufacturing establish
ments in this city; or who could select
from a nst Of the different brands
of articles in our stores six that were
known by name to be home products.
could mention, for instance, two or three
household necessaries that are known
by name, through persistent advertis-
ing, all over the United States, so that
any woman, from the aristocratic city
mansion or the shack away out on
the prairie, who wants to buy
would instinctively ask for one of
them. Persistent advertising has
brought that about with millions Of
people. For building up the home mar
kets only thousands have to be dealt
with. Let those thousands who COM
prise the population Of st. Paul know,
as they cannot know in any other way
than through their newspapers, what
are the home industries that ask for
and have g right to expect their sup
port, and we will answer for the effect
upon the home market. This whole
community stands ready to support To-
cal interests if they will keep them
selves intelligently before it. There is
nothing more promising at this mo-
ment for increasing the prosperity of
st. Paul than an enlargement of the
home market. If our home manufac-
turers will do their part by making
their appeal public, constant and spe-
cific, SO that every man and woman
may know where to go and what to
get in order to help home trade, it will
be worth millions of dollars to st. Paul
in the course of the next few years.

BIRTH RATE PROBLEM OF FRANCE

BIRTH RATE PROBLEM OF FRANCE.
French statesmen are realizing that
the lost provinces of Alsace and Lor-
raine are getting farther and farther
away from that possibility of recovery
which is the hope Of every French
man, if from nc other cause than from
France falls far below that Of Ger
many. How far the recent coquetting
Of the barren Celt with the prolific
MuscOvite is an outcome Of this realiza-
ton is matter for conjecture. With the
German birth rate 80 annually for each
1000 of population, France, with
rate of but % in 1S93-decreasing from
26 in 1865, and "a in 18S5-may we'll cult
vate cordial relations with Russia, where
the rate is 40. But be the cause of the
extravagant demonstrations of affec-
ton we have seen displayed in recent
time between these two peoples, so
antipodal IN disposition, what it
may, the falling birth rate is a matter
Of serious concern to the statesmen Of
France who are devising legislative
methods Of increasing it.
The chamber of deputies is consider
ing a measure prepared by the ma
tional Alliance for the Increase of Pop
ulation," of which M. BertiHon, the
inventor of the measurement system Of
Identifying criminals, is president The
government is to discriminate in favor
of those applicants for place who have
families of at least three children.
Scholarships are to be given only to
children Of such families; tobacco con-
cessionaires must be fathers or moth
ers of three; appointees in the civil
service, if married, must come within
the child qualification; promotions are
to depend upon the number Of chill
dren, other things being equal. The
Frenchman, republican as he dreams
himself to be, still clings tenaciousIy
to the idea Of the puissance of goven-
ment and transfers to the republic the
faith he gave the emperor. He offers a
bounty on the production Of children
as he does for the production of sugar
or ships, and imagines that all that Is
wanted to correct any condition is to
secure a 'be it enacted from the as

THE TRUST MEMORY.

A new inf1rmity, not recognized by
the medical journals and ignored by
the profession, is fast obtaining a fatal
hold in the United States. Little by
little it's insidious clutches are being
frightened, and the country, resting i'll
fancied security, only smiles when the
matter from time to time, is called
to public attention. The bicycle face
and the cigarette heart have come
in for an appropriate amount of atten-
ton, and the dangers of allowing them
to obtain a hold have been marvellous
ly exploited; but the trust memory is
allowed to claim new victims without
thought of check or remedy. The man
Hesitation Of the disease is peculiar.
To be connected, in any capacity, with
a combination to control any indus
trial activity has, at times, the same
effect as to be in the line of flight
Of a falling brick. 1t reduces memory
cells to their original protoplasm, as
useless for the purposes Of recollec-
ton as if they had been differentiated
into the stupidest of muscle. Strange
to relate, the difficulty is apparent only
at certain times and along certain
lines. 1t does not appear that trust
directors forget to declare dividends,
establish rebates and occasionally give
a competitor a playful push that sends
him tottering over the brink of bust
ness. But, if a legislative inquiry be
applied, memory becomes a blank.
Students who would do we'll to in
Vestfgate this modern ailment are al
lowing golden opportunity to pass in
neglecting the inquiry into the affairs
or the sugar trust now proceeding in
New York under the direction of Mr..
Lexow and his associates. The prest-
dent and vice president of the trust
have been examined without develop
ing as much information as might have
been obtained by reading the stock re-
ports in the morning papers. 1t would
appear that if any one knows. which
is matter of extreme doubt, how the
trust came to be organized what is it's
capital and how its prices are fixed,
is must be some obscure accountant
who is paid to write down such trifling
facts in book. A trust is pictured as
a sort of beautiful Arcadian affair,
which runs itself in happy go-lucky
way and comes out at the end of tho
year with a dividend of 20 per cent.
Now, it is manifest that all Of this
cannot be the case, and that it is, when
properly understood. a proof of how
serious malady is the trust mem
ory." The matter should be no longer
ignored. It is time to take radical
steps if the management of the great
industrial combinations of the United
States is not to fall into the hands Of
bOokkeepers who, when they cannot re-
member, have records to which they
can refer. Proceedings in contempt
might prove effective; they might at
least prevent, if not cure. In the al
sence Of suggestions from the medical
profession, few short Jail sentences
might be tried just as an experiment.

There is one direction, as DR.. George
F. Shrady, Americas first surgeon, dis
tinctly says, in which people seem to
need enlightenment at present more
than they have for many years past.
"This is the rational appreciation OF
the danger of quackery and fake cures. !"
DR.. Shrady's article in the New York
World of Dec. 81 should be read by
every man and woman who is ever in
clined to listen to the nonsensical, but
too often plausible, ramblings OF trad
ers in patent medicines.
When Prof Edward E. Phelps, M.
D., LII. D., of Dartmouth college, after
a long life of study in the most recent
scientific investigation of disease,
evolves the marvellous formula OF
Paine's celery compound-when after
the closest possible observance by the
best practitioners it is found that this
greatest remedy of our generation not
only does all. but even accomplishes
more than the modest doctor = the
giant among men that he has proved to
be-more than he was willing at first
to claim-when thousands of sufferers
in every walk of life, sufferers from
ailments that come from overwork, de-
ranged digestive organs, impaired ner-
vous systems, too poor or too rich liv-
ing, inattention to hygienic laws, have
been absolutely restored to health by
Paine's celery compound, after vainly
trying every other possible remedy, and
being dosed by we'll meaning but in
competent so-called physicians.
When this is taken into considera-
