A New Year Greeting.

DR.. Haithcox, pastor of Trinity
Lutheran church, gave the members
of his congregation yesterday dainty
New Year greeting in the following
original verses, tastefully printed:
God loved and smiled
That smile was Christ in Bethlehem
God loved and wept-
That tear was Christ on Calvary;
God smiled again
And 0lvet was bathed In light
As angels spake; Trust him We men OF
Gallllee, He comes again clouds with songs
Of victory"
In eighteen hundred ninety-seven.
May smiles from God, who is In Heaven,
Fall on thy tears and make them bright
Aspsarls In Heavens clear shining llght.
And with thy heart may Christ be let;
II fsorrows tears thine eyes bedew,
May glory as an 0livet
Thy hoping, waiting soul renew.

THE GOLD MINING CONVENTION

The Cold Mining convention meets
in Denver today. Its purpose is to dis
cuss gold mining and that alone: the
question Of finance is foreign 10 its
purpose. Colorado has come 20 the
front in the past few years as a gold
mining state, second only to California.
Gold mining has become one of her
leading industries and if there is no
Improvement in the silver mining in
dustry il will become her first industry.
The present convention will draw at
tention to her gold mines and resources
in that line. and it viii also show what
the possibilities in this direction are
throughout the west
1t is only within a few years that
the gold mining industry has revived.
comparatively little attention being
paid to it for many years. But gold
bearing ores have been found to exist
in parts of the country where they
were never dreamed of until recently.
and ores that once were worthless are
now valuable because of the discovery
OF new and cheap methods of treating
them
This state mas a great interest In
gold mining and much good should re-

Verdi,s Politeness.

Verdi the composer. is noted for his
invariable kindness TO those with whom
he comes in contact. For some time past
he has been staylng in Genoa. at mis-
palace in the Wa Andre'l Dora. A few
days ago. while out driving. nun ap-
preached his carriage and begged to be
allowed to speak. The man turned Out
to be she director of an obscure troupe
of performers from Jaw, who were about
to commence a series of performances at
the Alfieri theatre. Genoa. The director.
Mr.. Bernard. summoned up sufficient
courage to beg the great maestro 10 at
tend a special representation which his
troupe desired 70 give in his honor. Verdi
accepted the invitation and Immediately
drove to the Alfieri theatre. TO ~wl.ch no
one bur him was admitted. He listened
with great attention 10 the primitive or
chestra and watched the fabrication by
the troupe of various objects a Java
woman offered him a silk handkerchief
as a present and embroidered 1t for him
In gold in his presence. Upon bsaving the
tne,r-e Verdi said to Mr. Bernard: L
thank YOU Infinitely for the pleasant half
hour which you have enabled me 10 pass.
and I wish good fortune 10 you ali. The
lava troupe were highly delighted with
fine honor paid them by the greatest of
living Italian COMPOSERS.

South America, gave his views on one
way 10 extend trade. He said that all
the way from Boston to ST Louis he
had seen factories loaded with goods
they could not sell, and that if fac
tory is not closed down altogether it is
probably running on short time. He
then gave his views at length as fol-
lows:
This crowded condition of the fac
tories. so far as having unsoId goods
on hand. undoubtedly indicates that
something is wrong in the commerce
OF the United States. 1t seems to i'm
ply wonderful overproduction. The
country has relied too long on its home
markets. It must seek a broader field
and sell its goods in foreign markets.
America is great nation, and it can
easily compete with the other great
commercial nations OF the globe if it
Will so about ii in the right way
Reciprocity is good thing But a
thorough understanding Of all the de-
tails Of trade with any one country
amounts to a great deal in promoting
commerce.
For instance, it is certain that more
business could be done between the
United States and South America if
took the trouble TO adapt their goods
to the necessities of the South Amer
Ican peoples. This is especially so in
the case of dry goods great quantities
Of which are imported by the South
American countries from England. The
American merchant should pack his
goods in small bales or light cases. in
stead of big. heavy boxes. so that they
could be easily transported on burros
n he fr1s -,
must learn that he can't always make
clear profit of 10 to II per cent when
the Englishman or German. who is
competing with him, is satisfied with
at least 5 or 6 per cent.
Then the United States ought to have
line Of steamers carrying freight at
low rates TO South America. South
America now pays az high rates from
the United States as from Europe. The
steamers should be adapted also for
passengers. who. in this case. would
come to the United States on their way
to Europe-something they do not do
now.
Now. 7 am talking in the most friend
~ spirit, but I believe what / say is
true. The Pan-Anner'cans are willing
to trade with the United States for
they have come all the way here to in
vestigate.
There is a world OF commercial wis
dom in this. The conditions of trade in
n country must be thoroughly under
stood before that trade can be cap
tured. 1t simply means that in Rome
one must do as the Romans do. If
the South Americans want their goods
packed so that they can be transported
on the backs of burros, that is the way
to rack them, and the only way.
Then what Mr.. de Pombo says about
the American must learn that he can
not always make a clear profit of 10 or
L per cent, when the Englishman or
German who is competing with him is
satiseo1 with at least or per cent. I
has lesson in it. Close observance of /
and strict adherence to the laws Of
-rade will do more to extend American
trade than reciprocity treaties.

TO VOTE ON THE TARIFF BILL


Today the senate will vote on the

that the bill VIII be adopted. though

TURKEYS DEFIANT ATTITUDE

Not much is heard of the Greco
Turkish trouble now. chiefly because
there is a cessation of active hostilities
but the situation in the east is far from
satisfactory. The sultan is very much
inclined TO be stubborn and thus far
refuses to relinquish his hold upon
Thessalt. The protests of the powers
in this matter affect him no more than
did their protests against the Armenian
atrocities. The sultan would never
think of defying the powers if he were
left to himself but back of him there is
unquestionahly a leading European
/ power. and that power is Germany. 1t
may be asked why that nation should
i desire TO form an alliance with Turkey.
and why Turkey should desire an ALI
ance with Germany. \ little reflection
makes it plain why this should be so.
On either side OF Germany is a great
( foe: on the west France: on the east.
! Russia. It is generally understood that
an alliance offensive and defensive ex-
lists between the two Against this
alliance can be paired The triple alli-
ance, but the real strength of that
alliance is Germany, Austria and Italy
not adding the strength to it that they
should; and in the event of war Ger
many would have to take the brunt of
il. An alliance between Germany and
Turkey would be a direct menace to
Russia in case of hostilities. Russia
covets ConstantinoDle, but a Turko-
Germanic alliance warns her that she
must not permit her desires to take the
form of aggression. Were there a war
between the parties 20 the dual alliance
and those to the triple alliance. Turkey
would be able 10 furnish the Russians
such employment that Germany would
be able to devote most of her energy
to repelling her enemy on the west or
10 invade that enemy's country.
This new alliance is perhaps the
most important os any that has taken
place in Europe since the Napoleonic
wars. 1t brings Turkey to the front as
great military power and does very
much to settle the ever vexed eastern
question. which has practically been.
What shall be done with Turkey and
now shall the partition of that empire
be made? This new alliance means that
Turkeys integrity is TO be maintained.
It hasn't been for nothing that Ger
man officers have reformed the sultan's
army and made it modern in every
respect. 1t is also equipped with the
Mauser rife. It may be said that the (
Turkish army is another German army, I
and the world has never seen better |
fighters than the Turkish soldiers; they |
take to discipline as naturally as they
10 to Mohamncianissn. Turkey viii |
get out of Thesslay when Germany so !
advises. but scarcely before. 1t now |
looks as though Turkey would hence
forth be an active and important factor /
in European politics.

1t is said that. though the rainy sea-
son has begun in Cuba, General Weyler
still keeps on fighting We hardly
know how TO interpret that informa-
ton. says the Boston Herald. 1t is
difficult to understand what they call
fighting in Cuba. We remember no ac-
count Of a battle there for many
months. Tie insurgents are steadily
striving to wear out the Spanish forces
The Spanish government is maintain
ing an army which costs it immense
sums of money, but what that army
does ii is difficult to see. The only
practical effect of the Cuban contest
for years has been the destruction of
business and the devastation of lands
that should be the most productive in
the world. 1t is a fruitless contest for
anything but paralyzing purposes to
human prosperity. We remember no
alleged warfare for many years that
has been more a seproach to civiliza-
zion
