Senator Mason, OF Illinois, has
once more brought himself into nat
ional prominence by Offering reso-
luton to the senate, providing for the
extending OF that bOdy's sympathy to
the Beers in their struggle with
Great Britain. Mr.. NJ ason, with his
customary adroitness in all matters
political. has framed his resolution
almost identical with that bart Of the
republican platform OF 1866, which
referred to the Cuban situation at
that time. and in which the sympa-
thy of the republican party for the
Cubans was manifested, In his pres
ent resolution, evidently, he hopes to
convict the republicans of inconsis-
tency, since it is doubtful il the res
olution will pass, and therefore the
Illinois Senator sees for himself an
opportunity to criticise his party
colleagues, II is well-known that the
to doing anything that will be con-
strued by Great Britain as a criti-
cism OF her policy and thus the motive
of Mr.. Mason appears. He seeks to
show the understanding existing be-
tween the. United States and Great
Britain, relative to all matters affect
ing the foreign policy of either govern
ment.

The Product of zoe Years' E1perienos
In Underwriting.
A brief statement of England's ocean
supremacy will. think. be of interest.
says II. Phelps Whitmarsh, in the At
lantic." Great Britain today stands
pre-eminently the mistress OF the
worlds shipping interest. Her tonnage
Is greater than that OF all the nations
OF the world put together; her ships
carry five-eighths OF the deep-water
freight afloat, and she buys and sells
half the cargoes on the ocean. Her
success is no secret; 1t has certainly
not been due to chance, but has grown
from the spirited interest in ships tnat
every British subject takes, and has
always taken. This spirit has culmi-
mated in the great corporation known
as the British Lloyds," which cor
poration more or less dominates every
vessel, no matter what nationality, that
sails in foreign trade. In its list of
shipping Hloyds' "Register') 1t has
stamped or omitted to stamp the quail
ity of every foreign-going vessel afloat
1t has been the means of centralizing
the marine insurance business to such
an extent that British companies carry
seven-eighths of the risks OF the world.
For two hundred years. since the days
when underwriters and men connected
with shipping met at the coffee-house
OF Edward Lloyd, in London. and ap-
piled the principles of marine insur-
ance taught them by the Lombards,
British shipowners have sent their
ships to sea with feelings of absolute
safety. for they hold paper under
written at Lloyds as good as gold, in
case OF accident to their property. The
board OF directors in the corporation
represent the entire shipping interest
OF Great Britain. 1t has fifteen hun
dred agents in various parts OF the
worid-men with thorough knowledge
OF ships in general, whose duty 1t is to
report shipping news. AS result.
Lioyds is a tremendous power; the
words OF its experts are accepted be-
tore parliamentary committees as
truisms. and its authority in the man
ner OF fratings has given It the control

Seeds sur,I,. sr.., Cold.

A New York experimenter has been
trying the effect of very low tempera-
lures on seeds. Seeds of peas, oats,
barley and wheat were kept for sew
erai hours at 3l2 degrees below zero
that is what he says-for 10 hours.
After being thawed out and planted
the seeds grew all right. There seems
to be no further cause for alarm over
freezing seeds. We seldom have it as
low as Sl2 degrees below zero for ITO
hours at time, even in Dakota.

Biblical Teaching About Heaven.

1t is not az complete or as definite
as We often wish it were. But doub,-

that we should know in this life. The
Bible seems to speak distinctly, and
more than once, Of Heaven as a def.
mite place. 1t is the special center
aud abode Of the Divine Presence. 1t
is the home Of Jesus Christ. 1t is

who are to dwell there forever in hap

bly, soul thoroughly pervaded by the
spirit of Heaven could be truly happy
anywhere. Certainly no soul still
voluntarily indulging in any form of
ain could be truly happy in the most
Heavenly Of realms. 1t may be, and
doubtless it is place. 1t certainly
must be also condition of mind and
heart. Holiness makes Heaven, and
without hoIiness there can be no Heav-
en- for anyone.
These, then. are the questions for
each of us to ask himself: Am in

to live respectable and in many ways
even honorable lives, who nevertheless
think little and strive less to become
holy. But Heaven demands holiness.

Says The Pennington ChronIole:


In the recent Ohio state convention,
Chairman Kerr spoke unvarnished facts
when he said the Republicans bad In the
past been supporting civil service reform
"a reform they did not believe In, and
which he called piece OF rank hypocrisy
de also said their last pledge TO maintain
and extend 10 was all bosh There ere
q great many good men all over the
country, In both parties today, who echo
Mr.. kerr's statements and demand that
this relic OF the attempt TO pacify the
mugwumps be blotted from our statute
books.
That's frank. but the statement tina
for the last quarter of a century Repub-
lican conventions have been guilty Of
rank hypocrisy would, If true, lower the
party in the estimation Of every honest
man. But IL Is not true. Whatever may
be the case With the office seekers Of the
party, the great majority Of the rank and
file have believed in and still believe In
the reform declarations of the Republican
conventions, and 1t Is because they have
believed in them that they have been
made. The Chronicle is all wrong in
claiming that scivil service reform was
got up to paeify Mugwumps. Mug
wumps originated in the Blaine campaign
Of 1884. but civil service reform vas put
into the Republicans platform away back
in 1872 in theseswordss
Any system OF civil service under which
the subordinate positions of the govern
nent are considered rewards for mere
party zeal Is fatally demoralizing, and
we, therefore. favor a reform of the sys-
tenn, by laws which shall abolish the
evils OF patronage. ana make honest, eifi-
ciency and fidelity the essential qusliti-
cations for public position, without prac-
tically creating life tenure of office.
The substance Of this declaration has
b en- repeated in every national platform
since. In 1850 1t was declared that the
reform of the civil service should be
thorough. radical and complete. In 1884,
the year Mr.. Blaine was nominated, the
Republican platform declared that nthe
reform of the civil service 30 auspicIonsly
begun under Republican administration,
should be completed by further extern
sion of the reformed system, already es-
tablished by law. to all grades of the ser.
vice to which it is applicable. For
quarter of century all the Republican
conventions have been endorsing this re-
form, and now we are told that all of 1t
has been rank hypocrisy.
