Chicago Chronicles AS nearly as we can
get at 1t, the difference bewteen Rev Mr.
Talmage and Rev. MIR. Torrey is that the
latter gentleman believes in the efficacy OF
prayer while the former does not. There
is room for honest difference OF opinion on
the subject, but IL Is somewhat surprising
not to say anomalous-to see a professedly
Christian clergyman maintaining the mega
tive OF the proposition and denouncing the
affirmative as a crime.
San Francisco Call: Another religious
conference has demanded that Roberts OF
Utah be denied q seat in congress because
he is Mormon, but as 1t demanded at the

and denounced Sunday travel. Mr.. Roberts

he will hardly feel the full severity of the

of South Carolina, who has been Stationed

"lynchings should in some way be legalized,
bu,ause they will always continue so long

wonderful suggestion. 1t is like saying
that mobs should be authorized TO do and
kill as they please, that lawlessness should
be made lawful, and disorder made orderly.

this he doubtless means one at a time. stu
there is some evidence to show that the
suppression of the holy kiss causes more
or less dissatisfaction among the sisterhood
OF the communion. Reform may be neces-

stracly, however, the counsel o! Bishop
Salter is sound. If he san also suppress

THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.

The republican campaign in Iowa was
formally opened yesterday and will be
vigorously prosecuted until the day Of
election. There were meetings in all the
congressional districts, which We're
largely attended and marked by conf
dence and enthusiasm. Nearly every re-
publican leader in the state was on the
firing line" and republican principles
and policy were enunciated and de-
Tended with the ability and force char
acteristic of these leaders.
Senator Allison spoke at Marion, In
the Fifth congressional district, and his
speech is to be regarded as fully and
accurately representing the position Of
the republican party in Iowa. Mr.. ALI
son said, referring to the prosperity in
the state and throughout the country.
that the situation now is in marked
contrast with the situation OF only a few
years ago. The senator gave extended
attention TO the money question and de-

prominent, or by discussing questions
which cannot be settled, or which al
ready have been settled and which have
passed into history. or which all parties
favor dealing with in the most effective
way 10 accomplish desired results. In
regard TO republican financial policy
Senator Allison said that il is the pur-
pose TO maintain the gold standard and
that in order 10 do this the laws upon
this subject VIII be invigorated and

Judging from the character OF men who

Here is man who for four years was tie
executive head of the greatest nation on
earth, who not only knows how to work,
but can work well, holding his own in a
contest OF the keenest intellects of the
world.
The fact, also, that man WHO had once
tasted the yastness OF power should relln-
quish 1t with pleasure and engage in an hon
est avocaton is another feature which will
arouse comment. The French borders are
always beset by the presence Of preienders

lily inheritance. They live by bleeding their
followers, who hope for repayment when the
time OF restoration comes. The American,
on the contrary, calmly resumes his citizen
ship, and feels as distant from the control
of empire as II he had never had it in his
hands

4 COLONIAL otyIL SERVICE

deal of incompetency now in the civil
service there and this is by no means In
credible. Indeed, 1t could not reasona-
bly, be expected that under the
circumstances thoroughly competent
men would be found for all the posi-.
tons 10 be filed. Undoubtedly in
selecting men for the civil service the
military authorities have appointed
those which they believed best qualified
and ii is not at all surprising that some
of these have proved incapable. Few
if any OF them had had the least en-
perience in the kind OF duties devolyed
upon them. Some may lack the quail
tications 10 learn the duties. In time
the incapable will be weeded out. but
for the present we shall have TO do the
best We can with the material ar hand.
That thoroughly efficient and honest

necessary will not be questioned and in
order TO have Il we may have 10 follow
the example of Great Britain and other
European countries in training men for
colonial civil service. This will take
time. In the current number OF the
North American Review Prof, Bourne OF
Yale university urges the necessity for
this. He says; 'ro expect that the
problem of the Philippines or of Cuba

OTHER TROUBLES IN PROSPECT.
Financial Disturbance Likely to Fol-
low War I'm South Africa.
Springfield Republican.

There is no spot on the globe where the
outbreak Of war could produce 50 great
financial disturbance throughout the COM
mercial world as in the Transyaal, where
the wonderful gold mines OF the Wit
watersrand are located. The London money
market is Tightening, not alone in ordinary
preparation for possible war aud the war
demands of the government uFon the capital
OF the nation, but because the threatened
conflict would cut of the chief s,urce of
its current supply OF new gold. and all
related money narkets must likewise, OF
course, be affected adversely.
The extent Of the Transyaal gold output
Is little appreciated. Il has been steadily
increasing from oothing no farther back
than 1886, and from less than a milli- n
ounces year no farther back than 1891
10 a monthly product OF nearly half a
million ounces. The steady rapidity OF the
increase is shown in the following table,

To get al the approximate value Of the
product .n dollars the above figures should
be multiplied by twenty. This gives a value
for August last OF over 50 900 ,0O0 and the
yearly production Of the Rand mines az that
rate becomes over sllo.000.0o0. The total
estimated worlds production OF gold in 1885
amounted to about s2sO. 900 900. so that It ap-
pears that over one-thiTd Of the current gold
supply Of the world, almost exactly 40 per
cent, comes from this little Boer country

Value Of the Merit system.

The railroads of the country, to a greater
extent than most other large business con-
Germs, offer encouragement TO faithful serv-
ice and to the development of ability. The
tenure OF employment is fairly secured and
the salaries paid usually are liberal. The
man developing first rate capacity
for any particular branch of the
business is moderately certain Of
reward commensurate with his
merits. This policy attracts into the rail-
road business young men who rank with the
ablest and most progressive to be found in
any occupation. 1t is having its effect, too
in giving stability and efficiency to the rail-
road service.

most prominent Of the disastrous natural
phenomena reported within the past few

There is no doubt that we shall in
time have an ample supply of men meet
ing these requirements If it shall he the

"TOO LATE IN LIFE"
Pathetic Side of What Was Intended
as Jocular Remark.

Though on the surface jocular, that was
really pathetic remark which fell from
Admiral Dewey when he arrived in the bay
and for the first time appreciated the scale
of the preparations that had been made by
his fellow citizens to welcome him. He Is
reported to have said II began this bus
iness of being hero too late in life
That is what every man must feel who,
after a lifetime devoted to the earnest and
loyal pursuit of his calling, whether it be
in public or private station, finds that,
upon the eve of his retirement from active
service, the celebrity has suddenly come to
him which would have been worth so much
more to him II it had come earlier. This
is the feeling which was expressed by DR..
Johnson when he completed the dictionary
which he looked upon as his life work. "I
have protracted my work till most OF those
whom wished TO please have sunk into the
grave, and success and miscarriage are
empty sounds. l, therefore, dismiss 1t with
trigid tranquility, having but little to fear
or hope from censure or from praise" And
the same sentiment is expressed, in less
Johnsonian phrase, in the famous letter OF
the photographer 10 Lord Chesterfield:
The notice which you have pleased to take
OF my labors, had it been early had been
kind; but it has been delayed till I am in
different and cannot enjoy it, till am SOL
itary and cannot impart it; till am known
and do not want it,"
This is very natural reflection to man
to whom fame and honor seem TO have come
too late. But as regards public employ
ment, and especially military or naval en-
ployment, nothing could be more exemplary
than the coincidence which We see in the
case Of the admiral, OF the fullness o,
honors with the fullness OF years.
