CHEERING yVORDs.

The remarks made by President Me Kinley in New York last evening will be read with intense interest. They will answer the expectation of those who have been looking for words of courage, hope and good intent from the head of the government. What he says
 about the duty of the government in
 regard to money is sound and honest.
 He points out that duty requires that
 our government shall regulate the value
 of its money by the highest standards
 of commercial honesty and national
 honor, and he adds: Whatever may be
 the language of the contract, the United States will discharge all of its obliga- tion in the currency recognized as the
 best throughout the civilized world at
 the times of payment. Nor will we ever consent that the wages of labor or it's frugal savings shall be sealed down by
 permitting payment in dollars of less
 value than the dollars accepted as the \ best in every enlightened nation of the earth.
 This being the Presidents idea of | what duty requires of this nation, il naturally follows that he is not willing l to stand with those who think that there is no use in doing anything just
 now. He says: Half-heartedness never won a battle. Nations and parties with. out abiding principles and stern resolu- ton to enforce them, even if it costs a
 continuous struggle to do so and tenn porary sacrifice, are never in the high.
 est degree successful leaders in the progress of mankind. For us to at tempt nothing in the face of the preva- lent fallacies and the constant effort tc spread them is to lose valuable ground
 already won and practically to weaken l the friends of sound money for their battles of the future.
 | Entirely true. The President sees the matter right and is for right action
 There should be no hesitation In fol I lowing his sound counsel. Honesty is | the best politics in this matter.

A BuDDHA RELIC.

The most notable of Buddha's relics in this line is the Phra-Bat, My Lord the Foot" in Siam. Its discovery and all else relating to 1t have their place in the national annals. A rude hunter found the marvels in 1906. He reported it to the Governor of the province, who hastened to apprise the King, Phra Chao Song Tam. This potentate had been a monk, whose study of the sacred writings assured him that Buddha had not neglected to leave one of these precious symbols in the country, though hitherto no man had been found worthy to behold it.
 His delight may be imagined. Forth with he started for the spot, attended by a multitude of ecclesiastics and learned men. They identified one of the one hundred and eight holy marks which distinguished the foot of Buddha, and the whole kingdom rejoiced. Chac Song built gorgeous shrine over it. We may believe all the wonders which legend tells of this building, for Siam had been accommodating wealth for generations unnumbered. But a hun dred and fifty years later the great Burmese invasion, and the Phra-Bat was plundered. To rebuild the shrine, though poorly enough, was the very first act of the King when these barba-

The aim of the scheme is that the workman should become his own master. It is most desirable, says MT. Maudslay, that he should be delivered from the fangs of an agitator who draws him into a conflict and then week by week bleeds him of his hard earned gains. or who uses the money subscrie- ed after years of patient toll for the purposes of a strike. There is nothing in the plan which would prevent him from striking if he felt justified in do- ing so; but if he should desire to use his money for that purpose he would have to draw it out of his account before handing it over to anyone. MT. Mauds- lay believes that the ordinary working man would hesitate long while before he would do that.

AN INTERPRETING PLAN,

Some things connected with the recent strike of engineers in England have moved MT. Walter H. Maudslay, of the famous English engineering firm, to think out a scheme which might pre- vent such trouble and waste as the great strike caused. He proposes that an organization conferring somewhat similar benefits to those granted by the trade unions should be created, CT, in other words, benefit society with su- perannuation and an out-of-work fund attached to it; but with this all import ant and marked difference, that each
 mar shall to a limited extent be master of his own funds. This organization
 would collect, or cause to be collected and placed in safe-keeping, the neces- sary funds, and the same would be pro- tected not only by carefully drawn ar- ticles of association, but be placed in the hands of trustees whose position would command the entire confidence of the workmen. The funds so accumu- lated would be dealt with, so far as out-of-work payments and their author ized equable distribution goes, entirely by committees of bona-fide workmen in

ErFg IN oHICAgo.

The good side of Chicago has been sticking out so conspicuously lately that 1t has been hard to realize that the wicked city Is as wicked as it really is. But the bad side is showing now, and we read that so many complaints have been made that visitors to downtown saloons have been robbed by women that Chief Ripley has issued an order excluding women from such resorts un- less they are accompanied by male es- corts. Every concert saloon in the bus mess district has been instructed that a man must be placed at the door to prevent all women unaccompanied by men from entering. One of the proprie- tors affected by this order closed one eye as he thoughtfully remarked: What is the matter with hiring a half dozen young fellows to stand outside and act as escort to any woman who wants to come in? The escort can bring in a woman, seat her at a table and go back and wait for another.
 Sure enough. Doubtless the female thieves of Chicago and their male help CTS will find some way to continue stealing. Life in Chicago isn't tame vet

4 coon ROAD IN GEoRGTA,

Testimony in favor of good roads is given in other States than New Jersey. For instance, the Atlanta Journal cites the example of macadam road rum ming out of that city which it describes as one of the best roads in the country. It has been constructed at the cost of a large sum of money, but the Journal says the thousands of farmers who use it appreciate the difference between the new and the old highway. A farmer, says the Journal. who used to have a hard time getting to town with three bales of cotton, now jogs nerrily along with six bales drawn by the same team. He comes from his home and returns in from one-half to one-third the time formerly required for his trip. He es- capes heavy taxation in the way of heavy damages to wagons and stock. He saves time and money as only a good road could enable him to save it. At the same time the value of every acre of land along the line of the road and for some distance on either side has been increased.
 Connecticut is fast learning the value of good roads, and Commissioner Mac donald's zeal and industry are telling. It will soon be popular in Connecticut to favor good roads.

rians had been expelled. and In lTS7 lately paid us a visit dedicated the beautiful and costly edifice now stand ing. Travellers of taste declare It ex- quisite. though utterly opposed to our notions and experience of architecture; for that reason especially one would like to see 1t. But the footprint concerns us It lies in the center of the building, surrounded by a lotus garland" appar- ently of gold-at least so heavily gilt that the material cannot be discerned. The floor Is covered with a silver mat very thin strips plaited like wool.
 The blessed thing itself Is an inden- tation in the rock. five feet long, two. wide. and ten inches deep. It bears not the faintest resemblance to a foot print. Five scores at one end. evil dently artificial, represent toes. but since they are all of the same length they do not improve the matter much Not a sign of the 10S precious marks remains-in fact, it Is admitted that every distinguishing sign vanished in the awful hour when !mpious Bur
 mans sacked the fane.
 Upon the walls. however, hangs a fac-simile of the Phra-Bat. as 1t was

 months of the year. Then the whole neighborhod becomes 6 fair. and we read with amused interest that a
 grand cockpit. always. thronged stands within sight of the fane. Budd- ha would, have reckoned cockfghting among the deadliest of sins, had he con- ceived such inhumanity. After paying their devotions to the Phra-Bat Pill grims usually go in to workship the Phra-Chai-- My lord the Shadow"- some days journey up the river Upon the base of rock steep as wall are
 discolored blotches runing into one an- other; among them the eye of faith discerns the shadow of the Holy One.
 The priests say that 1t is visible more or less clearly in proportion to the vir- tue of the beholder, and therefore the
 pious are not shocked when some de- scribe it as a sitting figure, some as standing, some the ordinary size of man, and some colossal. But no one ever confessed that he saw no shad- ow at all.-London Standard.
