Yours is a sympathetic nature
Mouton! and no one need fear
that you will ever fail to extend it.
However you deserve no praise
for displaying it on this occasion,
because anyone who is SO SIM
pie and whimpering and craven
hearted as to fear Murphy J. Fos-
ter, deserves the profound pity of
everybody and only one who is
inhumane would fail to grant it.
NOBILITY OF FREE CITIZEN SHIP.
The most highly priced and hon.
orable honors that an American can
achieve, is that Of truly being an
ideal American citizen-of sup
porting those who are dependent
upon him, Of being loyal to the
law, of treating with even-hand-
ed Justice all with whom he comes
in contact.
Such an individual may never
be placed in public position, he
may never live in costly palace,
indeed, he may be unknown to all
those who live without the con-
fines of his own neighborhoOd; yet
he has not lived in vain.
However humble part he plays
in the affairs of this world, he has
an influence for good or evil, and
on dying this influence lives long
after his mute form has crum bled
into dust. His inflence and teach
ings are exhibited in the lives of
his children and through them in
his remote descendants.
The influence Of good men is Of
great worth to a state, for it is this
class that sees that laws are exc
cuted; that governmental affairs
are sustained and well managed,
and who turn out Of power the
towards, rascals and incompe-
tents.
1t is not every man who rises to
public piece and power that is
honorable. In truth, thousands
who have held high positions have
gone into oblivion or live only in
the contempt Of the nation that
honored them.
Therefore, it is not power and
place, that gives honorable estate,
but the acting well Of ones part
in whatever station in life his lot
may be cast. The private Amer
lean citizen who votes, who
speaks, who acts fairly; who is
loyal to his country, his con-
science, his God, is as great and

1t is n notorious fact that some 6ena.
tors of the United States have made
money out of their official positions and
yet lived far beyond the measure Of
their salaries, but it is recorded of
PETER, the recent Populist senator
from Kansas that ha managed to save
money from his salary and psrquisites
alone. For his term of Six years, says
the correspondent OF the Louisville
Courier. journal, "his salary was $780,
600: he received s., 100 mileage and
$3.50 on stationery account. His wife or
daughter was his private secretary, for
which he received during the term
81, 200. Another member OF the family
vas horne on the payroll Of the Senate
and as 81, 600 per annum is a moderate
salary for Senate enploye. let it go
at that-s6, o0o Thus the PETER family
received from 1891 to 1897 the sum of
$40. O50. Add TO this the amount the
Senator received for contributions to
newspapers and you have a snug little
fortune. 1t is not to his diHcretlit that
he saved his money" And it can be
said to his credit that be was at least
honest,

Final Session OF the Present Body COM
menccd at Noon Tuesday.
Berlin, Ger, Nov. 30. The last Sos
sion OF the present Raichstag was
opened at noon to day. Emperor Viii
liam opened the session in person, for
the first time since 1894. The cere-
mony took place in the white hall of
the royal castle. His Majesty read the
speech from the throne.
The navy occupied the principal
place in the speech. The passage on
this subject was as follows: THE de-
velopment of the German navy does not
correspond with Germany's mission at
sea, and, in the event of warlike COM
plications, it would not suffice to assure
the security of the home ports and
coast against blockade or more ex-
tensive operations upon the part OF the
enemy. Neither has it kept pace with
the rapid growth of German trans
oceanic interests. The whole German
trade lie participating increasingly in
the worlds exchange OF merchandise.
but the number of our war vessels
dnus not suffice to afford our country
men abroad the measure of protection
corresponding with Germany's position,
nor the support which can only be
secured by display of power Al
though it is not our object to vie with
the maritime lowers of the first rank.
Germany must, nevertheless, be placed
| in position to maintain, by means oil
preparedness at sea, her preatigs among
| the peoples of the globe.

Chauncey M. Depew, who is president
of the Joint Traffic Association as we'll
as of the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad Co., ia in favor of rail-
road pooling. - In my opinion" be
said to reporter, there can bs no
substantial prosperity in this country
until the railroads prosper. and do not
see how the railroads can prosper II an
interminable rata war is to be waged
between them. !, for one, would pre-
fer to do business under uniform rate
fixed by public body rather than
road business of the last six months
has been done on the basis of a de-
moralized rate, and, while the increase
in earnings everywhere has been great,
you will notice that it has been greatest
10 gross earnings rather than net. You
must understand, too, that these earn
ings have followed tremendous har-
vest here and an equally great crop
movement, induced by the wheat de-
mands of Europe upon us. Some states
men tell US that pooling law ia too
great power to centralize 10 the hands
OF any public commis sion, but the
absence of one is tending on the one
hand to create middleman's monopoly
as against both producer and consumer,
and at the sans time to destroy the
main hope of prosperity for the rail
roads. Prosperity, If it means anything
at all, means the distribution of wealth
among the many and over large terri
tory. 1t certainly does not mean the
concentration of wealth and power In
few bands and in few large cities.
The pooling legislation which the rail-
roads are now seeking would establish
uniform rate throughout the country
and bring US hack to the old conditions
when the farmer shipped his produre
direct to the sales market and based
his selling prce On natural conditions
rather than on tho arbitrary rate liked
for him by monopoly.

Washington, Nov. 80. Tho cabinet,

ing relief to the people in the Klon-
dixie Every phase OF the situation
was discussed, and the disposition was
to do everything possible to prevent
starvation and misery among the Ameri-
cans in the klondike.
1t was decided that nothing could
be done until Congress- meets, when an
appropriation for the purpose of trans
porting food supplies will be asked.
1t is probable that whatever action
is taken 1t will be Under the direction
of the War Department, and by the
time Congress acts Secretary Alger will
have formulated plans. No attempt
will be made to 60 up the Yukon, as
the ice has closed progress in that
direction. The relief supplies will have
to he sent over the passes.
No estimate as to the cost has been
made, aud none can BIS prepared now.
