BETTER THAN GOLD OR FAME.

Better than fame by sacrifice
OF manhood's honor won.
Is honest reputation gained
by manly actions done.
Better than vico, though 1t be clad
In purple rich and rare.
Is virtue, though homespun dress,
'Tis doomed fore'er 10 wear.
Better than palace where sweet love
Has never held its reign
Is home where true affection dwells.
Though it be e'er SO plain.

The young people of the world are
forging to the front in religious matters
as well as in all other lines of activi-
ties. The Christian Endeavor Conven-
ton in session in San Francisco, the
EpwOrth League in Toronto, the Rap-
tist Young Peoples Union of the
United States and Canada in Chatta-
nooga and the Universalist Young
Peoples Christian Union at Detroit,
mark a significant monument in church
affairs, and are signs of the times.
These assemblies are all of young peo-
pie, all international and interde-
nominational and in the history of the
church nothing like it was ever seen
before. 1t is a great movement, and
it's end is not yet. The religious ac-
tivity of the young is a most promising
and hopeful thing and answers hun
dred arguments of the pessimist.

Just now there is livelier interest in
Cuban affairs. For the first time since
the war began the insurgents are
harassing the Spaniards all over the
island during the wet season. Districts
that Weyler declared recently to be
pacified are alive with insurgents. The
arrival of wounded Spanish soldiers at

that fighting is going on somewhere not
far distant

Enuland Troubled with Trusts and Strikes.

1t would be amusing were it not so
anti-Republican organs and disputants
to make the people believe that trusts
and strikes in this country depend on
protective legislation or on the kind OF
| money used and that free trade and
free silver would prove their death
blow. 1t is only another illustration Of
the conscienceless knave who seeks the
dollars of the sick with false promises
of remedy. A good many are de-
| ceived, but too few of them find it out
before it is too late.
Over in England the engineering
trades are threatening, to SO on a strike

Not a Demaq0Que.

While the magnitude of the trust evil
is such that any effort to gloss it over
and reconcile the public mind to all it's
eXactions will be laughed to scorn,
nevertheless it is well for people to
keep in mind the very patent fact that
there is good deal of talk on the sub
popular favor; also that those who talk
the loudest most frequently mean the
least Senator Hanna told some truth
in his straight-from-the-sh
matter of fact way the other day when
ne said; 81 am not defender of
trusts in the sense that l want to per-
petuate any monopolies or uphold any
oppression. But a great deal of this
antitrust talk is demagOgiSm pure and
simple 1t comes from men who do
not know what they are talking about,
men who are full of theory, but who
would not know a business operation
if they met it walking down the street.
These men who howl about trusts and
make themselves believe they are
friends of the people and that they are
winning popularity by such course
simply bow to what they think is a
popular prejudice and make war on
the business interests. The best law
yers in the Senate say it is impossible
to frame a stronger antitrust law
than the Sherman act. If we go fur
ther than that we simply pcrsecute

of property"
This sort of talk puts Mr.. Hanna
outside the role of demagogue. Many
will not agree with him that we have
all the law necessary to deal with the
trouble but all will admit his courage
to come out sGuarely with his views.
Much of the effort at combination
grows out of the natural trend of busi-
ness under existing conditions. Cir
Fcffnstances tend to force progressive
business men into such combinations.
This does not alleviate the evils grow
ton but, on the contrary increases
Fthcrn. It is a fact, however, which
forces itself on the consideration and
cannot be overlooked in the purpose to
arrive at proper legal restrictions. 1t
is a noticeable fact that those who

the last to suggest any practical means
of relief.
