will say:
The vote in the House 81 to 0. and in
the Senate without a word of debate, IS
to 0, giving the President discretionary
power to apply any part of $500 900 as
he may think fit before next January to
national defense is the most impressive
display of hearty unity and unflinching
patriotism that has been made by this or
any other country for many years. That
it will prevent hostilities is not certain,
but the course of the markets proves that
1t is clearly thought probable in other
countries as in this. The financial powers
of Europe, which are able to starye into
peacefulness almost any government, may
not be able to restrain a mob in Madrid
or Havana, but will strain every nerve to
keep the peace if they can. 1t is most
gratifying that no industry or branch of
business shows any restriction or him
drance. but some have been rapidly gain
ing for the past week and month. The
railways are gaining and the demand for
products of all the great industries is in
creasing. More gold is coming from Eu-
rope than is needed, $l0.S6S, 900 having been
ordered during the past week, and money
markets are nowhere alarmed or strin-
gent, though reasonably more cautious.
The country rests assured that It's indus
tries, almost all its business, the foreign
demand for its products and practically
all its resources are beyond the reach OF
any foreign power, and that its honor and
foreign interests are in safe hands. The
greatest of all industries is sending grain
forward as If there were no limit to the
supply Exports of corn in spite of small
er Yield have been 7.706, 694 bushels in two
weeks, against 99S6,694 last year. Wheat
declined 21-4c., but corn did not change
during the week Cotton declined is.
The minor metals are generally in
stronger demand.
Sales of wool for the week have been
the smallest since the week of greatest
alarm, in August, 1896. but not because
any mills have stopped work. Little wool
can be moved with a new clip near and
heavy stocks still in mills without fur
Their reduction. Cotton goods have large
distribution and prices are generally
steady. Prints are In better demand.
Imports of gold ordered to date have
been $4,000, of which $3,SOO,000 has
reached New York.
Failures for the week have been 24S in
the United States, against 256 last year,
and SO ir Canada, against 81 last year.

some went to shorts who were willing to
take little profit. In Germany the belief
seems to be that the passenger war will
shortly be over and that the stock is
worth buying around present prices. An
active broker in Northern Pacific said:
L had a scale buying order in Northern
Pacific Railroad all day. l accumulated
l 500 shares. The selling comes in part
from commission houses and in part
from a short interest. There seems to be
an aggressive bear party, which is get
ting out d considerable short line. a few
weeks ago, there was no borrowing de-
mand for the stock. Today it is in con-
siderable demand by many different
houses"

a TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Senator Cushman X. Davis is in favor
of an alliance between Great Britain
Japan and the United States. In an
interview with the Paris correspondent
of the London Daily Mail he is reported
to have declared that "American and
British Interests i'll the far East run
quite parallel, and that, therefore, the
two powers should act Jointly"
am not appealing to sentiment
he said, though blood is thicker than
water, and tins argument should not be
ignored. Ny thesis in favor of cooper
alton Is born OF the coolest logic. | IA
vor treaty of alliance, including the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
Tor the protection Of all their interests
north OF the equator. The rest of the
world would have a wholesome fear

He sugge stcd that such a dreibund
could have nothing to fear from such 4
a coalatlon of other nations, and tia;
therefore, it would tend to preserve the
peace.
There are still 800 wears of vigorous
fight in England. said Mr.. Davis. W hcn

hundred years to develop her promise
and potency. | do not see why other
nations should object to the alliance If

So tar as the Philippines are con
cerEed there will be an open door, but
not free trade. Our protection policy
Will be applied without favoring any
nation, and the local needs of our new
territories Will be considered"
The opinions of Senator Davis are
worthy Of respect at any time, but they
are particularly worthy of considera-
ton 1t this time. His sojourn in Paris
has brought him III contact with Cont
mental and Euglish statesmen and he has
doubtless been able 10 catch the drift of
European sentiment, and discovered in
1t growing spirit of jealousy Of and
opposition to American expansion and
the development of American com
mercc. The drawing together of Eng
land America. whIle not unnatural, their
interests being so much i'll common, is
also looked upon as a monaco to Cont

that Continental Rip Nanwinkles can
not see in the development of Ameri-
can influence the regeneration and up
lifting OF humanity, and are content to
he laggards III the march Of progress
if not openly opposed to it. it is
perhaps well that an understanding
should be arrived at between England
United States, and Japan. AS Senator
DAVIS saws, such an alliance would have

TOUCHED SOUTHERN HEARTS.

The speech Of President Mckinley, at
Atlanta, Ga, Yesterday, will do more to
cxtinguish any smouldering cmbers of
discomfort that my have existed in Con-
Iederate hearts against the Union than
anything has occurred since the close
Of the war. 1t was speech that will 90
down in history and make the memory
of its author dear to the hearts of those
who had faith in the justice of the
cause for which they suffered, and all
who believe in being magnanimous to
an erring brother.
The President spoke from the speak
er's chair, in the Assembly chamber Of
the Georgia Legislature, and a more
representative gathering of Southern
people would have been hard to find
than that which listened to him. The
governor, generals, senators and assem-
blymen, the beauty and wealth, and
the plain people were there, all eagerly
listening to his words, and applauding
him as he proceeded But the climax
of their enthusiasm was reached when
these words were uttered:
Every soldiers grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is tribute to
American val0r. And while, where
those graves were made We differed
widely about the future of the govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament of arms, and
the time has now come in the evOlu-
ton Of sentiment and feeling under the
providence OF God when i'll the spirit OF
fraternity we should share with YOU in
the care Of the graves Of the Confeder-
ale soldiers"
How could such words fail to touch
Southern hearts. bring tears TO the ewes
OF the old Confederate veterans, and
evoke a wild cheer from all who heard
them, as was the case There is no
record in history of another such case
OF chrlyd!rous maguanimity TO the up
holders OF Il lost cause. \ little more of
this spirit infused into the utterances of
public men would be good thing.

louise Morgan Sill, in Christmas "Harper's'O.
Ere Christ. the Flower of virtue boomed,
On Mary's breast the blossom lay.
Twas on still and GOLDEN day
Some glamour not of earth WAS there
When Mary knelt alone to pray
That she the child might worthy bear.
Her loving bosom hcaying fast
with pure emotion. soft she cried.
Nor saw the angel as he passed,
Nor felt the angel at her side.
Awake. Arise. And oh. rejoice.
For unto you Lord i born.

The harp. and the resnunding horn"
The star leads on. the shepherds rise
From midnight vigil. solemn. still.
With crook appraised, with 'raptured eyes,
They follow over vale and hill
They follow till the angel-star
Doth stay. and looking down they see
A humble shed where cattle are
Wherein they enter. curiously
u
Paiiid she lay. as lilies lie
Upon an altar. They, most mild,
knelt down before the Mystery
About the mothers youthful head,
About the Babes the golden ring
A glow ineifable did shed
Upon the shepherds worshipptng.
What marvel" said they. that our Lord
Doth come as humble born as We
As stark. as poor" And they adored
And ycarned for Him unspeakabiy.
With Joy they fingered at His feet,
Then 10 the wondering fiucks returned
But oh. the homeward way was sweet
Aud their glad eyes with visions burned
Thus came the King, Divine and Doomed,
Unto His own: and thus we say

And for that she the TidinCs bright
