To prevent any unsanitarian cOnse-
quences and at the same time do away
with separate communion cups, the
rector of Lowell church has clean
napkin with which he wipes the rim
of the cup after each communicate has
participated. He is not wiping the
disciples feet as did Christ. All the
same there is no little common sense
in his new departure and it should be-
come general.

Mckinley has demonstrated his de-
termination to put every pledge of the
party platform upon its acceptance by
the people and remove the response
bility from his own shoulders and
that of the party. This is why he has
etken the course he has in reference
to bimetallism and the currency. 1t
will not be his fault if these are not
accepted in Europe or in America.
He has discharged his own personal
obligations to see'that the party pied
ges are not disregarded.

The Democrats swear that it was
not on account of a change in the
government at Washington, but on ac-
count of the big crops that this wave
of prosperity came, and yet the big
wave of prosperity that came in with
the big crops the year that Cleveland
was elected was Immediately on his
election followed by the worst period
of depression the country has ever
known. If the election of Cleveland
led to disaster there is reason to con-
clude that the election of Mckinley
will be followed by period of pros
perity. All things point that way at
this present.

Croker says that Tammany is an
Organization that has character.
Croker is wrong. Tammany has only
a reputation. That was what Poti-
phars wife had, while Joseph had the
character. Tammany is liable to find
that her reputation is no better than
history has shown the reputation of
the wife of Potiphar TO have been. 1t
was character that won against repn.
tation.

Dom Kruger gives Great Britain the
grand bounce. In his speech to the
yolksraad President Kruger ignores
the idea of British suzerainty over
the Transyaal and is loudly cheered.
He desires peace and is ready to take
the hand of Great Britain amicably as
he is that of Germany, or Russia, or
France, or the United States, but he
denies that England has any special
claims there.

Baily is not going to get his speak,
ership in the halls of the National
Congress before he has another whack
at the United States senatorship.
1t will be some time yet before there
is going to be any return to power of
the reactionary Democracy. Bailey is
euchered out of his chances for the
senatorship, that is if he had any
chances, for very small mess of pot,
tage.

Crop reports are mighty interesting
reading, and they are also very de-
ceiving. 1t is not possible for the or
binary mind to understand how the
crop reports from the cotton states
can be correct and yet total yield of
9,75OO0O bales be figured out. There
are whole counties in Texas where one
bale to four acres is going to be a big
yield according to present prospects.

1t is broadly asserted, and generally
with truth, that the rich are not asses
sed upon their properties, but this is
not true of Rockefeller who is assessed
81, 800 on a Hudson river property
that he has offered in the market for
$350,000. Some assessor has lied in
swearing in that property as under the
law he is to return it at what it would
bring if sold for debt.

the shortage in European bread stuffs

that the surplus of American grain
