Two Venerable Men.

~ CROSS the sea live two venerable
~ men for one at least of whom
possibly for both-the year 1898.
in human probability, will prove event
full. The world watches both of them
with more than common interest-pleas-
ant account has just been taken of the
fact that Mr.. Gladstone celebrated last
Wednesday his eighty eighth birthday.
The news is that the veteran statesman
is in comfortable health and that his
interest is keen in the stirring events
with which the new year begins and in
the outcome of which Great Britain,
whose foreign policy he has so often
shaped, is deeply concerned.
Along with the news facilitating Mr..
Gladstone comes the ominous word that
the recent reports from Prince Bismarck
are true, that he appears to fail rapidly,
that insomnia torments him and that his
weight of years is rapidly becoming
grievous burden. The report is that the
iron chancellor "braced up" for the oc-
casion of the Kaiser's recent call but
that he has since shown symptoms of
rapid decline. London was excited yes
terday over a false report that Bis
marck was dead
Gladstone is the senior of Bismarck
by more than five years; there are in
Gladstone's declining days the evidences
of peace and comparative freedom from
human ills, with resignation and con-
tentment that are lacking in the case of
the Prusisan statesman. In tempera-
ment they are opposites, their careers
suggest no parallels. the orderly life of
the Englishman, when he entered par
lament a good deal more than half a
century ago, was a contrast with the
srollicking career of the German who.
as a country squire, made the days and
nights quite as lively as they had been
when he was a noisy university stu
dent.
But both men rank to-day as the fore
most among their countrymen. The in
fiuence of both has been remarkable
They linger, more conspicuous even in
retirement than any man among their
contemporaries in Europe. and doubt
less the reflection comes TO both of them
that, in human probability, New Year
bells chimed yesterday for the last time
in their hearing.

~ PEAKING of giving, Of generos-
~ ity, benevolence and things of
~ the sort--a wealthy eastern
newspaper that circulates in a rich
constituency makes the holiday remark
that the Henry George memorial fund
has already reached the respectable
figure of $12, 900, and it is growing very
fast" That depends on how You take
it, Rich men in the city of New York
did more than a million dollars worth
of lamenting over the death of Mr..
George. Hundreds of them We're poll

day of the city election. Seth Lows
contribution of one thousand dollars
was generous, but not many of all the
men who wept for George seem dis

been four times twelve thousand dollars
in forty-eight hours? The fund has had

the year just ended are lamentably
low.
The showing of dividends of the Fail
River cotton mills fully justifies the
concern Of their directors for the flu
ture of their profits. whatever may be
thought of their manner of meeting TINS
difficulty The percentage they have
paid to stockholders in 1897 Is an aver
age of 3.39 per cent on the capital in
vested. In 1896 this percentage was
6.12 per cent, which indicates a falling
off in the present year of almost one
half. At no time in recent years have
the net earnings been fairly good.
The gloomy outlook prompts the Bos-
ton Herald, which keeps a watchful eye
on New England industries, to say that
"the very heavy falling off the pres
ent year, when revival of business
was anticipated, is an ominous event
which clearly called for the attention of
the directors The Herald's remark
settles nothing, it suggests no remedy,
yet it is timely. Now that the .'atten-
ton of the directors is clearly called"
which way shall they look? Will they
ioOh bcyOHu iclis, lHSii
dends and their mills? Will they take
broad view by contemplating their
vast patronizing territory-the region
where they sell their wares and dis
cover, if they can, what is the trouble
with it?
There is trouble; it forces itself upon
the attention of these mill directors
constantly, but they seek always to
blind themselves TO it. In 1896 they
promised the operatives good times and
better wages; in 1897 they predicted
that Mckinley tariff bill was to make
the promise good; in 1898 they start
with a harsh proposal which is a con-
fession that all their promises were idle.
If the Boston Herald and the directors
to whom it addresses itself Will find the
truth-they'll not need to hunt far for
it-and. having found it, if they will
accept it and guide their conduct ac-
cordingIy, there'll be better times pres
emily in the New England cotton mills.

A Little New Year Sermon.

Written for the Sunday Standard
Do we realize in what a wonderful
way we shall all spend this new year?
No: because to us it seems very simple,
or possibly tiresome. There is so apt
to be a sense of disappointment in all of
our new year pleasures. We do not
understand why, but the realization of
New Years day and it's immediate sue
cessors does not seem to meet our eX-
pectations. We sigh and long for the
dear old days'-we forget that in
those dear old days everyone about US
was signing just as we are signing
now. 1t was so then; it is so now, and
will be so hundred years from now.
This element of discomfort IS due, to
great extent, to our failure to appreci-
ate our present blessings. We forget
them, as sleepy child forgets to say
it's prayers Our deep love for those
who are dear to us, and for our friends;
our power of thought and action, the
very fact of existence should give to
the most miserable of us a thrilling
joy Think of our possibilities in this
world! Why are our lives so full of
unnoticed opportunities? Is it all for
nothing, think you? No: ii is for just
so much as you choose TO make it. If
you spend your time in brooding over
your own miseries, you will leave no
time left for other and better things.
Let us step out together into this new
year, and really live as we know that
we should live. Having once accom-
pHshed this, we will never be wiling
to retire again to our old abode OF dis
content. and. surely, we can find no
better season for leaving it.

He Has Made His Bed.

~URING the year 1898 it will be
la easier to locate President Nc
Kinley than has been the case
in former years-he is going to keep
the bond" That is his platform-he
permitted a federal senator TO adver-
tise the fact in Indianapolis a few days
ago. Henceforth there will be less
questioning as To the chief magistrates
policy; this year the attention of the
country will be conferred OH his effort
to keep the bond. There has recently
been some discussion in high republic
can circles as to what is provided in the
bond, but that discussion must end
soon. Secretary Gage feels sure that
his Interpretation of it is right and he
is Fastening to run the treasury de-
partment accordingly. He'll not run it
very far because the republican ma
iority in the house of representatives
will not permit him-to say nothing of
the silverites.
1t is safe for President Mckinley to
say speaking for himself, II am going
TO keep the bond" he can do it, But
were he to have ventured to say,
speaking for the republican party. I'VE
are going to keep the bond his prom
Use would have been idle. because il is
manifest that the republicans will not
keep the bond. under the construction
placed upon it by Secretary Gage whom
President Mckinley sustains. But the
significant point is that hereafter there
need be no queries as to the president
himself-his attitude is clearly defined.
| This leaves everybody in good shape
for the new year. except Senator VOL
colt and his followers. Apparently the
senator is in for another hard year
and really. he is having a disappont-
ing time of 1t. He labored zealously
I last year with the goldbugs in Europe,
| and all in vain. He is having "A strug
/ gle with the administration now and
| he's completely worsted already. Sem
ator Wolcott would better found
a new financial sect with a duplex
creed suited TO those who want a BIZ
policy rule that will let them think
with the silxerites but abide with the
goldbugs.
BY the way why wouldn't II be well
for Senator Wolcott to tackle a few
administration organs like the Chicago
Times Herald? That newspaper said
the other day that every man who
voted for Mckinley and Hobart with
any degree of intelligence did so be-
cause he wanted precisely what the
Gage bill would secure" What rot
If the republican party in its ST. Louis
platform had limited at the retirement
of the greenback and the substitution
of interest bearing bonds, as Mr.. Gage
proposes. Bryan's majority in 1896
would have been more than one mil
lion. OF course, the degree of intelli-
gence" of the men who voted for
Bryan isn't involved in the Times
Herald remark, but the coarse crti-
cism hits Mr.. Wolcott and others. The
senator ought to talk back. If he is toe
busy, Senator Carter mi sht try it.

house. but he still has found time to be-
come deeply versed in science-Chris-
tan science. the contamination of all
science Mrs. Campbell, it seems,
grieved over the death of her child to
the point where it affected her mind.
Being scientist, she should not have
thus given away to her feelings. but
she was a weak sister and couldn't help
1t. Christian Science did not assuage
her grief or restore her reason-Provi-
dence was intervening to make her an
example to the skeptics aforesaid. The
other day while at Chicago hotel, Mrs.
Campbell leaped out of a second story
window with the intention of commit
ting suicide 1t was now that Chris
tan Science came into play and scored
a magnificent triumph; for Mrs. Camp
bell landed on her feet, and, aside from
a severe shaking up, was uninjured.
What more convincing proof of the
efficacy of Christian Science could be
demanded? The only hole that skeptics
and materialists have to crawl out of is
to pronounce the occurrence a narrow
escape, a remarkable phenomenon, or
something of that sort. But the fact
remains that Mrs. Campbell jumped
out of second story window and that
her life and limbs were miraculously
spared.
Unfortunately, however, the end was
not quite yet. Mrs. Campbelfs mother,
a Mrs Cress, was also a Christian Sci
enlist The whole family, it seems had
ii and had it hard. The death of her
grandehild affected Mrs. Cress' mind
also so much so that last Wednesday
she threw herself into the cistern with
the intention of committing suicide.
For some reason Christian Science did
not work in her case, but the water, of
which the cistern was full, did. Before
help arrived. Mrs. Cress realized her
intention and was drowned. This
lamentable occurrence would seem to
stock the skeptics and scoffers up in
business again; but people who are
bound to find fault. will make pretext
Of anything for the qualification Of their
unholy desire. We have no doubt that
the Christian Scientists of Peoria will
ignore the shallow logic of their enc
mics and go right along, serene in the
consciousness that when Providence in
tervenes in their behalf it is irrefutable
proof of the correctness of Christian
Science. and that when Providence
doesn't do anything of the kind it is
proof positive that Providence is other
wise engaged.

the average reindeer can pack a burden
of the weight of thirty pounds; in haul

markable that the government at Wash

should have set apart so large a sum in
its appropriation for reindeer equip
