The Salvation Army's efforts to bene-
fit and help uplift humanity have won
deserved praise. This organization has
struggled and fought and done brave
work in a broad field where help was
and still is greatly needed. 1t has won
deserved sympathy and recognition
from all denominations of Christian
workers 1t is constantly reaching out
to serve and elevate the people who
throng the highways and by-ways of
life. Among its humanitarian move
ments, one exciting much attention and
interest, is that for returning the sur
plus of city populations to the country
by farm colonies. This scheme has
been in successful operation in England
for several years and has also been put
in operation near Boston and New
York and is now to be tried in Chicago
under the auspices of Commander
Booth Tucker. The Gage farm at Riv-
erside, the largest piece of land the city
owns, has been secured for the ex-
pertinent, subject only to the condition
that amicable arrangements can be
made with the present tenant. who
pays a rental of only $50 a year and
whose lease does not expire until May
of next year. The low rental and the
accessibility of the farm to the city
markets are the chief reasons why this
land has been selected by the Salvation
Army leader for an experiment which
promises to relieve at least part of
Chicago's unemployed. The proposal
to utilize vacant city lots for the rails
ing of potatoes and beans is another
plan which certain cities have adopted
benefcially, and its application Will, it
is thought, still further tend to give
profitable work to the unemployed The
Chicago Record says on the subject:

LONG FELT H4Ny.

The New York Press wants the in
coming congress to come right down to
business when it convenes, and wants
no fooling. This is what the people
want, and it is "a long-felt want as re-
CARDS congress. The Republican party
is in power again, and if it expects to
continue at the helm it must serve the
country's interests first, foremost and
all the time. That such, happily, is the
temper of the administration there can
be no doubt, and all who read Presi-
dent McKinley's admirable inaugural
address feel well assured that such is
the case. The country has been in the
slough of despond a long time, and
now wants return of good times The

WARNING ON CORPORATIONS.

In vigorous letter to the Louisville
CourierJournal President M. III, Smith
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
points out an aspect of the populistic
assaults upon corporate wealth which
should arrest the attention of every
thoughtful person, whether he be high
or low, rich or poor. 1t has been the
habit in many quarters to take merely
a sordid and material view Of these at
tacks. The question has not been
whether they were just and honest, hut
whether they We're expedient, polite
and feasible. The idea is that it is as
much q violation of the Eighth Com
mandment to rob corporations as it is
to rob individuals does not seem to
have entered into the account Against
this 'perversion of the moral sense"
Mr.. Smith strongly protests. The
moral sense of the public he declares,
has been or is rapidly becoming blunt
ed in matters affecting corporations,
especially railroad corporations. 1t
was the same blunted moral sense, Mr.
Smith could have added, which was at
the bottom of the free silver scheme for
swindling public and private creditors.
1t is time that the popular conscience
was reused to the dangers of the evils
to which Mr.. Smith calls attention.
Corporations are but form of proper
ty and wanton assaults upon them are
a menace to every form of property.
1t is no less a crime against the moral
code to plumber the shareholders of a
railroad company than it is to plumber
private house owners. Just such a
crime is committed whenever railroad
corporations are compelled by fanatical
legislation to submit to unjust burdens
and restrictions which make it impos-
sible for them to earn fair return up
on their investments Such acts
amount to downright .onfiscation.
Shareholders arg as much robbed as if
some Jesse James had relieved them of
SO much actual cash. States and COM
munities are no more privileged thus
to turn footpads and embezzlers than
individuals are. Yet it is this sort of
legislation which is now rampant in
sections of the west and south which
profess to be God-fearing and honest
To spoil corporations is regarded as
much a righteous deed as it was to
spoil the Egyptians of old. The fact
that corporations are but collections of
individuals is utterly ignored.
The insane hatred in the western and
southwestern states toward railroad
corporations is beyond comprehension
Where would most of these states be
to-day We're it not for the network of
steel highways with which they are in
terlaced? 1t was these detested COR

A VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
Laurence Huttons Recollections of Hi

Laurence Hutton's Recollections of His
First Trip to That Country.
Laurence Hutton's recollections OF his
boyhood are in st. Nicholas under the
title of "A Boy l Knew" His earliest
visit to Scotland was made when he
was but four or five years of age and
long before he had assumed the dig
nifty of trousers or had been sent to
school. His father had gone to the old
home at st. Andrews hurriedly. upon
the receipt of the news of the serious
illness of the boys grandmother, who
died before they reached her. Natur-
ally the boy has little recollection of
that sad month of December, spent in
his grandmother house, except that
it was sad. The weather was cold and
wet; the house even under ordinary
circumstances could not have been
very cheerful one for youngster who
had no companions of his own age. 1t

cause it received the very first rays of
the sun as he rose upon the British
isles.
The boys chief amusement was the
feeding of flour scenes and oatcakes to
an old goat that lived in the neighbour
hood and the daily walks with his
grandfather, who seemed to find some
little comfort and entertainment in his
grandson's childish prattle. He was
then almost the only grandchild. and

on the boys part to adapt his own
short legs to the strides of his seniors
long ones.
After they had interviewed the goat
and had watched the wrecks with which
the wild shore was strewn. and had in
speeted the castle in ruins and the ru-
ms of the cathedral the boy would gaze
upon his grandmother new made grave

boy, although he could not read it for

a man of note among the negro
preachers of the South was Willis War
rem, who has just died in Georgia, He
was pastor of three churches, with an
aggregate membership of 10000. When
a negro was inclined to be obstreperous
Warren was often sent for, and he oc-
casionally gave the offender a severe
thrashing after prayer for his soul.
On one occasion, it is said, he corralled
siXty-nine negro women who thought
themselves too good to help their hus-
bands, and gave them all a severe
whipping, after which all went on
splendidly. His power through relig-
ious zeal was almost unlimited, and he
was known far and wide as "Pappy
Willis" He is said to have had sew
eral thousand dollars in cash besides a
great deal of personality and the title
to the church property. He appointed
his own successor to the pulpits he left
vacant.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Feb. 4-TAe stock market
lacked strength to-day, and showed de
cided tendency to sag in spite OF some
seemingly very favorable factors in the
outlook. The weak spct was clearly
enough in the industrial group but the
effect through sympathy ON the rest OF
the list was sufficient to neutralize the
encouraging influences and as a result the
market closed on plane a fraction lower
than last nights closing. Sugar was the
centre Of attack for the decline being sub
jected to nearly all the unfavorable influ-
ences of the day. One Of these was the
apprehension Of action directed against
trusts in some of the States that have
recently adopted antitrust legislation
The offerings included some very large
blocks of stock. This was the decisive
influence in checking the hardening ten
dency with which the market opened and
which was due largely to the fact that the
Bank of England had reduced it's rate Of
discount to per cent. The Railway list
in general dropped in sympathy with the
decline in industrials, and partly on ac-
count of the rather unfavorable traffic
statements for the last week and month
OF January. The list succumbed to de-
preston and sank at the close to the low
est prices of the day.
The bond market ruled active and gen
orally higher, with the Northern Pacific
issues the feature. Large blocks of these
securities were dealt in, with the inquiry
very pronounced from the arbitrage hous-
es. The improvements in the general
market are mainly fractional, but sharp
concessions were scored in a few of the
inactive issues. The sales were 81, ,693,
900. Governments eontinue heavy on
profit taking with the dealings centered
in the new As. The sales were $62, 800
