Our Enlarged Moral Outlook.

The fostering of commerce obviously
belongs to the general government,
which has power not only TO regulate,
but to annihilate at will, the trade of
it's citizens with foreign countries. We
have indeed seen our foreign commerce
destroyed by our own national legisla-
ton. Now, commerce, foreign and
domestic, is the great peace-maker and
ace-keeper, and, on the whole, it is
the great enrcher of mankind in com
forts and luxuries. 1t deserves on
every account the fostering care of a
powerful nation, not only for the bene-
fits it coDfers on that particular nation,
but because it tends to bring about the
confederation of all races of mankind
in the pursuit of common well being.
The war with Spain has distinctly en-.
lsrged the moral outlook of our people
1t has presented to them wholly unex
pected problems concerning the re-
sponsibility of fortunate people for
the welfare of the less fortunate. Ii
has suggested to them that policy OF
political seclusion and commercial iso.
lation is not worthy of strong, free
and generous people, and that such q
policy is not the way to the greatest
prosperity and the most desirable in
fuence. Pres. Eliot, (Harvard) in AT.
lantic Monthly.

Lost Cause for the property destroyed
or coniscated in the prosecution of the
war for the Union, as to infer that the
Chief Executive intended, Gin the evo-
luton of sentiment and feeling" or sin
spirit of fraternity" to favor the
pensioning of living ex Confederate
soldiers The fact that the Confeder-
ate debt and claims have been barred
out by constitutional amendment, while
pensions have not, does not change
the moral or rational aspect of the mat
ter. Southern men who have fully ac-
cepted the issue of the struggle TO es-
tablish Confederacy on the ruins of
the Union will hardly be found de-
handing that this evidence of the ex-
istence of spirit of fraternity shall be
furnished

ity become a great Nation, and espe-
cially when these qualities are mani
tested in the treatment of enemies or
former enemies. Confederate prison.
ers were ever humanely and generous
ly treated by the North. The Ameri-
can government has fed its Spanish
enemies, and at its own cost carried
them across the seas to their homes.
In the practice of spirit of humanity
this American people may do what was
done for the Spaniard, what was done
for the Confederate prisoner of war a
generation :ago. This government
may not pension the Confederate SOL
diers, but, without fear of encouraging
treason or rewarding rebellion, it may
house or feed the Confederate victim of
war into which he was led or forced
by the authors of the Conference.-The
victim whom the issue of the war has
left in poverty and suffering, the bat
tered wreck of the strife into which be
was deluded. For any proper scheme
for the amelioration of the condition OF
these people, in spirit of humanity as
we'll as fraternity, the men or the de.
scendents of the men who stood by the
Union will hold up both hands. By
strewing flowers above the graves OF
dead Confederates sentiment may pay
its tribute to American valor in bad
cause, but some practical amelioratior
of the hardships of the unfortunate liv'
ing, in spirit of philanthropy, proper
ly can supplement sentiment and feel
ing, and may still stronger cement the
fraternal tie.

parish register the death OF George Il. Tap
lin, true and faithful member OF the
church
Had Providence ordained il So he would
have reached the fifty-third anniversary of
his birth on Christmas day. But in his
prime he was called from his labors and out
OF broad and useful activity he was uuex-
pectedly summoned to his rest.
In him commercial activi y and civic vir-
tue were strongly Joined, while his private
aud public life were governed by the prin-
ciples OF a pure manhood, fixed fidelity to
every trust and discriminating regard for
what would best serve the people with
whom he dwelt To us, with whom he was
associated in the strong bonds of Christian
fellowship, the passing of his counsel his
unstinted aid and cheerful cooperation is
an irreparable loss. Yet would we do his
life injustice did we not also bear this testi-
mony, that his good works exceeded the
limits OF his church home and expressed
themselves in acts Of varied service, with.
out distinction OF person and upon his con-
ception OF the public good. The hospital,
the Young Mems Christian Association, the
art gallery, the bank, the mandatory. the
store, all the best forms OF work that foster
general Improvement and prosperity, levied
upon his time, his strength and aid, and all,
by common repute, received an al ded i'm
pnlse when he thought fit to serve. He
did his work heartily and always with pru-
dence and intelligence. And 30 his death
concludes the service OF a loyal man. 1t
makes loss OF sufficient breadth to evoke
expressions OF univeral regret in the city
which first gave him birth and now takes
him back again unto itself
We may not, in our finite thoughts, ques-
ton or deplore Gods purpose in this un-
timely death We may rather be grateful
that his life was so strong and manly and
80 quietly busy and useful that its close
finds him crowned with the general respect.
For the church has lost a faithful servant,
the city a loyal freeman, institutions an
able administrator and mankind a faithful
friend. This much we know and we have
faith that all is not wholly lost

As to PensiOning COnfederates.

There is no room or need for msap-
pretending the real purport of the
Presidents declaration at Atlanta that
"the time has now come sss when,
in the spirit of fraternity, we should
share with you in the care of the graves
OF the Confederate soldiers" AS a
practical matter it is true that care for
the graves of Confederate soldiers
would not make heavy draughts upon
the material resources of either the
North or the South, but care for the
living is very different thing.
The placing of flowers upon the
graves of Confederate soldiers, while
rendering similar homage to the patri-
otto dead of the Union cause, would be
grateful evidence of the softening of
hearts steeled by the events and incl
dents OF the civil war Care of Confed-
crate graves would be an expression of
patriotic sentiment and would mark the
reunion of hearts as we'll as the rees-
tablishment of the political union of
States.
An attempt has been made to torture
the Presidents expression that evoked
such storms of fervid applause from q
southern assemblage into some sort of
recognition of the propriety of PEN
sioning surviving Confederate soldiers.
1t would be as reasonable to conclude,
from this utterance, that the President
would approve proposition to pay the
Confederate war debt, or reimburse the
men of the South who espoused the

An EpOch-Making Year.

Twelve months ago this American
Nation was wrestling, somewhat irreso.
lutely it seemed, with a condition Of
affairs off its southern coast that had
long been existent there, that had be.
come standing menace to the peace
the health, and, in degree, to the ma.
terial prosperity of the American PEG.
pie. Patience, far beyond the limits OF
virtue, had been practiced by this gov
eminent in dealing with the issues that
were confronting the United States in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Through one of the most shocking
occurrences in history, crisis in the
Cuban question was abruptly reached.
All the troublesome problems that were
taxing the government were suddenly
referred to the arbitrament of arms.
The issue of the appeal to war is mat
ter of recent and very glorious history.
Not only is Cuba free, the dream of
ages realized and the harvest of much
heroic Understanding reaped, but Porto
Rico is an American possession, and a
far away island group, with its millions
OF oppressed people, which had entered
very remotely, if at all, into the
plans and calculations of the statesmen
who were directing-or were controlled
by-events, have been brought under
the protection of the banner of the free.
That emblem has become charged with
the duty and responsibility of guiding
the combined peoples of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines out of the
darkness of Spanish bondage into the
kindly light of freedom. With the
opening of the new year the banner of
blood and gold, throughout the length
and breadth of Cuba, will come down and
the emblem of freedom will rise in it's
place. Looking back to the forbidding
past that was scowling on the fortunes
OF the island twelvemonth since, the
glory of the present realization is diff
cult to comprehend.
The anniversary of the birth of the
Prince of Peace was fittingly cele-
brated by the return of the American
peace commissioners to their homes,
bringing with them the treaty of peace
whose ratification shall secure to man.
kind these rich fruits of war and diplo-
macy. New and splendid opportuni-
ties are opening before the American
people, as well as the peoples released
from medieval cruelty and oppression.
America has long been dealing with
issues that were largely artificial.
Questions of domestic policy have been
raised respecting which, among intelli-
gent and thinking men, there could be
little or no diversity of honest opinion ;
but on these issues the people have di-
vided into hostile parties, fought great
political battles, and filled the land with
the din of their conflict over questions
concerning which practical men, when
they meet as the responsible managers
of business interests, have but one
judgment.
Something more real and inspiring
than tariffs and sham financial ques-
tions will henceforth invite the political
energies of this people. The renova-
J ton and rebuilding of Cuba, the de-
