OUR SUBMARINE NAVY.

Capt. John Lowe, U. S. N, is moth
ing if not fire-eater. Nothing less
than fifty submarine torpedo boats, he
says, will suffice to protect this coun-
try against the hostile fleet that is sure
to oppose us in the next war. We must
not only have them, but have them
right off he cries, making no conces-
sions to the Hague conference and
what he terms "pusilanimous humani-
tarianism"
1t is not likely that congress will
see the necessity for this huge sub
marine navy, but it is interesting to
note that a high expert in this navy
considers our present system of sur
face torpedo boats worse than use
less" Although the torpedo boat hard
ly got a fair trial in the late war with
Spain, their inefficiency was demon
strated on more than one occasion.
Whether the submarine model will be
any more effective is a moot question.
Boats of the Holland type will be more
difficult of location on the part of the
enemy, but whether or not the Hol-
land can in actual war place torpedo
under an enemy's ship without herself
coming to the surface of the water is
question that only war can decide.

CUBAN INDUSTRIAL RELIEF.

A Cuban industrial relief fund is the
outgrowth of Cuban sufferings, Cuban
appeal for help and the response of Am
erican philanthropy. When peace be-
tween the United States and Spain was
declared, the Cubans were in abject
poverty and suffering. To relieve their
condition, at first the United States
could be only a temporary make-shift
The Cubans were willing to work and
earn their bread and they preferred
doing so to remaining objects of char
ity But they had nothing with which
to begin work Animals, seeds and
farm implements must be provided and
loaned to them on easy terms. Relief
farms are being started where they can
work and receive pay until they can be
established on farms of their own I'm
til then, except in the case of few
cities, there will be no basis in Cuba for
civil order or welfare, for business or
religion.
1t viii require liberal amounts of
money to extend the relief work be-
yond that now conducted on the relief
farms. and to provide for the purchas-
ing of work, animals and implements
for the little farms. This extension OF
relief work is urgently needed. The
plan is based on sound business prin-
ciples. anG was adopted to promote the
self-respect of the Cubans by simply
helping them to help themselves. Tt
aid in the relief of this suffering, con
tributions are solicited by the New
England branch of the Cuban industrial
relief fund, IA Beacon street, Boston
Herbert D. Forbes, cashier of the Ma
tional Bank of the Republic, is treas
urer, at So Milk street, Boston, and t.
him contributions may be sent.

SOUND CURRENCY.

Cheap money" is always the costli-
est money. Right after the war, when
our paper money was so cheap that it
took $40 in greenbacks to buy 81 in
gold, the man who wanted to borrow
money had to pay to 70 per cent for
it, Now, when every dollar of our pa
per and silver is held at par
with gold. the borrower can obtain all
the money he can give good security
for at from to 6 per cent Sound cur
rency and stable credits always pro-
duce low rates of interest.
The gold standard that was fastened
on the country" by the result of the
1896 election. has proven a pretty COM
Portable thing for the west. For the
first time in history the west this year
was independent of the east when il
came to advancing money for the
movement of the wheat crop. On the
very day that a temporary squeeze in
the stock market sent call loans in
Wall street UP to Is per cent, grain
shippers in all the larger western cities
were obtaining all the money they
could use from local banks at Az ant
per cent.

wORcEsTER's cOLORED VOTERS.

In the contests for nomination
among candidates for the common
council, one at least is of especial in
terest. A. George Busby, for the second
time, presents himself to the voters of
ward as a candidate, after having met
defeat at the caucuses one year ago.
He has conducted a clean campaign in
his own interests, and has been assured
of the support of many of the best men
in the ward. He is a man of more than
ordinary ability among his race, and
has been successful in his business, af-
ter a residence of Is years. He has been
especially active in the work of the re-
publican party and the Republican club.
When one considers the size of
the city and the normal republican
majority, it seems somewhat surpris-
ing that never in the city's history has
a colored representative been elected to
a municipal office. There are today
about 1900 colored people in our midst,
and voting population of about 500, a
majority of whom are republicans year
after year. 1t would seem but fair that
this class of our citizens should be rep
resented in the city government. Mr.
Busby is a leader among his people He
is an able speaker. and is familiar with

DWIGHT l.. MOODY.

The news relative to the physi-
cal condition of Dwight L.
Moody, the famous evangelist,
will bring sadness and sorrow
to many homes all over this land.
AS revivalist he is without rival to-
day anywhere in the English speaking
world, and the world is today better
for his having lived in it. He has
been a close student of the Bible but
he has in a great measure learned his
broad Christianity from the wonderful
book of life that is wide open before
him every hour of the day
AS showing the wonderful vitality of
the man, it is stated by his secretary
that he has held between five and six
hundred meetings, each extending from
one to six weeks. He himself when
asked the number of converts he be-
lieved he had made, answered that in
his 40 years of work it was his impress
sion that 100000 would be within the
mark He did not know how many
had finally conquered. He hoped most
of them had. His creed, reduced to
the last analysis. is the. creed of peace
He has fought for that in his religious
life. He has never even called himself
priest of God. He is a man, and a
plain, homely sort of man; but he be-
lieves that in his creed of peace he
has found the secret of earthly con-

THE LAW OF PROGRESS S.
Rev. T. Richard Peede Says it is Con-
centration.

There was the usual attendance at
the mems meeting yesterday afternoon
at the Y M. G. A. The speaker was
Rev. T. Richard Peede, pastor of the
South Baptist church. The Scripture
lesson was read by Secretary Ham
mond, followed by prayer. The male
choir, assisted by the Alhambra Club,
furnished the music.
Rev Mr.. Peede took as his subject,
Concentration, the law of progress"
If any goal is to be reached he said,
there must be concentration and deter
mination. 1t is the fundamental law
of business life. In the highest forms
of animal life there is a specialize ton
of functions. In man, the same law
applies. The time of the jack all
trades has passed. Specialization in la
Dor is necessary today.
Young men often fail because their
energies are not properly directed.
Again, many lose a chance to rise in
the world because they are afraid to
soil their hands. Concentration is a
law of mental progress as well as of
bodily and material progress. Many
books are read, but few are studied.
Concentration is needed in the kingdom
of Christ, it is needed in the progress
of reforms.

KNOTS OBJECTIONS.

Andrew Carnegie has offered to give
the city of Louisville, KY, $125,000 for
free library. He stipulates, how
ever, that the Polytechnic library shall
be turned over to the city, and that
Louisville shall provide $4,000 year
for maintaining it, There seems to be
little question but what the gift will
be accepted, but the strangest feature
of the whole affair is the editorial of
R. w. Knott in the Evening Post, pub
lished in that city:
Louisville is not pauper city. In
the Judgment of the Evening Post,
Louisville does not want Carnegie Ii
brary' as a free gift. Louisville must
not accept gifts from princes not of
her own people. 1t was bad enough to
attempt to build here a library by IL
censed gambling; it would not be right
to erect on these gambling foundations
structure that would be monument
to beggary. - Louisville is able and
willing to establish and maintain IL
brary, but it will not build a monument
to Mr. Carnegie, nor will it tax itself
for any private corporation"
Mr.. Knott's motive is understood to
be that he fears there will be pur-
chased for the library fine stone build
ing, the property of the president of the
Courier-Journal.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 90, 1899.
OUR FINANCIAL POLICY.

The strained monetary conditions
which exist at the present time are said
by financial experts to be due in large
measure to the lack of flexibility in our
financial policy.
This condition of the money market,
however, is liable to exist at any time
when our industrial and commercial
operations are abnormally great, but
at no time is this condition liable to be-
come a strain on business progress. 1t
is a fact that at no time in the history
of the country has money been so wide
ly diffused in new Industries and en-
terprises as at the present time. 1t is
claimed that whatever stringency ex-
lists is due in large measure to our fl
nanc1al laws and to the policy of our
national banks. If the money in the
vaults of these banks were to be put
in circulation, there would be no strin-
gency in the money market, and the
reason it is not in circulation is to be
found in the laws controlling our bank
ing system. 1t is the question of the
change in these banking laws which
has engaged the attention of the COM
mittee on banking and currency for
many years. 1t was claimed by the
former chairman of this committee, the
Hon. Joseph H. Walker, of this city
that the bill of which he was the au-
thor, would to a great extent remedy
this existing evil. Other members OF
the committee were in favor of other
bills, and for this reason legislation or
the matter has been hung up for years
1t is to be hoped that at the coming
session of congress, the committee will
at least possess unanimity enough
among its members to be able to report
some bill for the consideration of con-
gress. Relief from present monetary
conditions is needed without delay

REVIVAL IS MARKED.
Many Converts Being Made at the
Dewey Street Church.

Yesterday morning at Dewey Street
Baptist church, Evangelist Whittier
spoke from the text, "And now if ye
will deal truly and kindly with my
Master, tell me; and if not, tell me-
that may turn to the right hand or
the left"
The speaker applied the words of the
text to our relations to Christ He gave
four reasons why we should thus deal
with Christ. First, because Of his Won
derful character; second because Je-
sus always deals kindly and truly with
man; third, because by thus doing, we
are dealing kindly and truly with our
selves; fourth, because of his secrifi-
cial sufferings and death Each Of
these heads were elaborated upon by
the speaker.
In the evening there was a fervent
service Much is being accomplished nv
these services and many are being
brought to Christ. Every afternoon and
evening this week the revival meetings
win be held except on Saturday

SUICIDE IS NOT DEATH.
DR.. Scott Says It's the
Burial of a Lost
Soul.

Rev. DIR. Willard Scott preached at
subject What decides our destiny?"
At the time spoken of In the text, he
said our Lord was standing in the
midst of a critical company. There was
a large crowd present for the purpose
of criticising him. There were also there
however, those that would die If need
be for the cause. His words to them
were full of beautiful, consoling
thoughts. DR.. Scott quoted number or
the passages to illustrate this. All of
the conversation Of the master was on
the lofty, heroic level, of one who had
confidence in himself.
In the Greek language there are two
words for life, one expressing the soul
of man and the other the mere susten-
ance of man. The story of the parable
conveyed the idea that in the midst OF
plenty, man may still live lost life.
His soul is lost, without vitality, with
out hope. A suicide is not death, but
burial. The soul was lost before the
act was committed. One may be dead,
even as he walks the streets. When the
soul is paraIyzed, death has come.
The true life should be in surround
tremendously. Those things belonging
to a mere livelihood do not develop the
soul. There are three ways of looking
at mans possibilities. There is the life
that is cold, infexible. This is repre-
sented by the picture of the Fates.
There is also the life of fatality, look
ing inward and not from the outside.
The laws of evolution and of tendency
and the law of environment, make us
persons of necessity. There is nothing in
| these views that CLEANS anything from
the message of Christ.
The God of Jesus is not unmoved by
prayer and duplication. The life that
can choose its way and mark out it's
path, is the true life. A life to live, is
one that is earnest, and Jealous. Christ
in the parallels quoted, pointed out the
true life.
He also drew the picture of lives
bound up in their own livelihood. The
story of destiny lies not in the proYl-
dence of God. We can be what we VIII.
| Our destiny does not rest with outward
influences but in the individual choice
day by day. The growth Of the soul Is
! in the larger and better things OF life.
In the midst of the greediness OF the
world, there are dead souls.
