| is reason to believe that the standard OF
living, in all its phases, has been retrograd-
ing instead OF improving in some Of the
countries OF Europe. The condition OF the
rural population in parts OF Germany has
recently been described in no fatterlng
colors, and yet no one has inferred that an
improved condition OF the people wouldTe-
suit from the present tendency to desert the
country and flock into the towns.
Herr BEBBI was accused Of misrepre-
scntinr the facts n while ago when he de-
scribcd the novels in which the agricul-
tural laborers Of East Prussia live, but his
statement seems to be confirmed by the
Emperor himself IL the story be true that
when WILHELM III. recently visited his new
estate at Cadinen ho remarked: Changes
must he made here. This COW house Is q
palace compared with the work peoples
houses. 1t must be seen TO that the pig
sites are not more habtable than the la
borcrs' cottages"
The English woman who expressed wish
to learn OF the condition OF the peasant
class in America was very much surprised
to be told: There is no peasant class in
America" Nothing is better calculated to
stimulate appreciation OF our country and
its institutions than an opportunity to
compare the condition OF the most fortu-
nate agricultural andindustrial laborers in
Europe with that OF the same classes OF toll
ers here. Any American who sees much OF
these foreign workmcn in their fields,
shops, homes or meeting places must per-
ceive that there Is something in the es-
scncc Of American society and the system
OF government it has evolved that is
worth more to our millions Of homes than
all the wealth OF the world.

Immigration.

Nearly complete returns to the Treasury
Department show BLISS immigrants for
the year ending June 30, against 220, POO
for the twelvemonth previous. This in
crease of S2,579, which may become a
little larger with revised returns, is over
SO per cent.
1t should be noted, however that the i'm
migration for the previous year had been
the smallest for nearly two decades. We
should have to go back to 1879 to find a
smaller. Besides, great fluctuations from
year to year are the rule rather than the
exception in immigration. The number OF
arrivals in 1880, for example, 45z, 257, was
ovcrtwoa and "A half times greater than that Of
the year before, but was in turn outdone by
the GOa 43l of the year after and the 1885,
902 Of 1882, the greatest in our history.

Prophecies Treated as " a Iiterature.' -

The Rev DR.. Lyman Abbott IN The Outlook
It's not at all probable that tho book which bears
his name Haggail contains his prophecies in the
form in which he uttered them. As in the sermons
Off. W. Robertson We have only abstracts out
lines of the great preachers sermons in this book
of fragments We have probably only an epitome of
much moro elaborate addresses.
A younger and more striking prophet of tho
same epoch and the same school as Haggai-that is
OF the ecclesiastical or prsStly Hchool-is Zecharah
The book which bears his name consists OF two por-
tons the latter Of which IS generally believed to
have been written by an anonymous prophet Of a
later date. The true prophecy OF ZechariAh uttered
nearly contemporaneously with that OF Haggai con-
ssts of eight very singular visions In artistic struo
ture and musical form they not in the least like
Tennyson, for Tennyson is one OF tho most musical
OF our English poets and ZechArah. at least In tho
English form IN which he is presented 10 most OF u.s.
Is most unmusical. But there much in these eight
visions which, in its strange. weird mystical char
Actor recalls the mysticism of the visions in Tenny-
sons Holy Grail" To translate into prosaic form
the visions Of the Hebrew poet Is we'll nigh asimpos
sbo would be to transform similarly those the
English poet, Dreamke are they in them tho re eader
passes from scene to scene by transitions as sudden
and to our waking thoughts. as impossible ~ those
which occur in our dreams. and in dreaming seem
not strange.

Kentucky.

The Republicans OF Kentucky have noml-
mated their candidate for Governor, with nm
appearance Of enthusiastic determination
to elect him and confidence in the Justice
OF their cause that should lead straight to
success.
Kentucky Republicans this year are to
fight an election law that transfers the de-
termination Of an election from the voters
to returning board OF unadultcratcd
partisanship.
They will fight in the Democratic candi-
date the man who made the law, and whose
manner OF nomination. as denounced by
members Of his own party, should primd
(dcie be n fatal commentary upon any law
he makes.
And in this same candidate they are to
light the cOwardiCC which dare not touch
the issue between the radically conflicting
factions OF tho Democratic party, and
which, besides seeking popular support Of
political evasion, declares hostility to the
Industrial principles and methods that are
at the bottom OF prosperity, in Kentucky
as in other States.

THE IRON MARKET BOOMING.
Production OF Pig Unprecedented, but Not
Enough to Supply tho Demand.

PITTsDURG. July1 3.-The iron and steel mar
ket continues to show interesting featuIes.
and the second half OF the year promises to de-
velop more important phases than the first.
Prices generally remain steady and there have
beon sharp advances. Notwithstanding tho
increased production OF pig. the scarcity.ts
becoming more marked. The necessary shut
downs the first OF this month relieved matters
a.little. but it 10 probable that during the next
month or two. the steel mills will l.have trouble
In securing the iron they need.
There is a tremendous production OF Mig
iron. Tho capacity Of the furnaces In blast in
July amounts to 250,S7S tons week. which 10
the largest production in the history OF the
weekly production Of the furnaces. according e
to the reports which have been received. was
250OT4 tons. This large production OF pig
Iron Is about the only feature OF that market
this week. Prices are maintained at $50 in
the valley. and there 10 little indication OF an
advance Tor a week or two.
The scarcity OF plate Is causing haste on tho
part OF tho manufacturers to finish up the new
mills in the course of construction. All the
new mills at the Homestead plant will be ready
as soon as IL 10 completed. These mills will
increase the output OF the plant $50 tons. per
The billet market has been rather quiet this
lot OF sheet bars were sold this week for S33
at the mills. Structural material is In good
demand. and an advance OF So ton was made
last week. The situation seems to indicate
further advances In all lines for the latter part
OF the year. and those In closs touch with the
market are unanimous in eaying that no break
In prices need be expected fer several months.

RECKITER FOR A CHURCH,
A jew Appointed, Although IT'S n Christian
CongreGRtiOn.


NEW ORLEANS. July 13.-JudRo King OF the
Civil District Court. on motion Of Attorney
General Cunningham. to-day appointed Edgar
NJ. Calm receiver for the Emmanuel Presby-
terian Church and dscreed the forfeiture OF
It's charter. A receiver for a church 10 IN
usual. and the case is all the more sxtraordi.
nary from tho fact that the person appointed
to take :charGe Of this Presbyterian church Is
q Jew.
In 1896 Casper Auch q wealthy German.
bequeathed his fortune to the several Presby-
terian churches Of New Orleans to be divided
among them. the interest from the money to
be used in,caring for poor Presbytsrians. The
Immanuel Church got Sl1 900 as its share. but
instead OF keeping this trust fund intact for
the poor the trutsees borrowed from it to pay
various expenses. Ths church had not paid
its minister. the Rev. Owon Keidy. in full for
twenty years. To settle with him they paid
him, he himself being one OF the trustees.
$4,000 from ths Door fund and used the bal
ince for other purposes. Then the other trus-
tees oustod Redv from the trust and brought
euit against him and secured judgment for
SlO.OJ2.
All these things brought about such scan
dal that tho congregation .dwindled to the
three trustees and their families. As the
church operated under n State charter the
Attorney General intervened and called for
the. forfeiture OF the charter and the appoint
ment OF a receiver.

The Value of the Canal.

Tho voyage OF the Oregon from New
York to Manila Is employed by Rear Ad-
miral HIGGINsoN in the Independent to IL
lustrate the saving in time and money
which navigation may expect from the
Nicaragua canal.
The distance she sailed bylog was 90, 3O6
nautical miles, and the time was 81
steaming days. making an average speed
OF 22O.6 knots per day. Her coal con-
sumption for stcaming purposes only
was 5,417 tons, at n cost Of S23.95303.
But had she gone through Nicaragua she
would at the samc speed have reached
her destination in 5l.4 steaming days. on
. coal consumption of 3,O21 tons, and at
an approximate cost Of only S6,699. That
means q saving in time Of 4O.6 days; in
distance Of 9,9S3 nautical miles in coal OF
1895 tons; in money OF $l7,254.93. An
allowance can be made for moderated speed
through tho canal and for the cost OF tolls,
and still the balance would be enormous
In the canals favor.
Admiral HIGGINsoN's Is purely the naval
view. taking up the relation OF the canal
to our sea power; and having that in
mind he considers the most valuable OF the
decide q campaign or war. But the COM
parson could easily be extended to tho
merchant marine. A like shortening of the
voyage to or from the Pacific means for the
merchantmen saving in time. in wages
for the ships company, in provisions, in
coal. in the space taken up by provisions and
coal, in the interest on the capital invested,
In insurance. Tho same ship, in other
words, could mako 80 many more round
trips in given time. and carry SO much
more freight. with a reduction Of expenses.
Where. also, the value OF cargoes is In
creased by prompt delivery, there is an ad-
ditional element In favor Of the route across
the Isthmus over the one around the Horn
or through the Straits Of Magellan.
Perhaps We may expect the new Canal
Commission to set forth some Of the calcu-
lations on this point but meanwhile Ad-
miral HIaaNsoN has made an effective use
OF the lesson taught by the voyage OF a
single battleship. even where the wages
and maintenance Of officers and crew do
not figure IN the account.
The sun., 1899-07-14

came.a rally to 400, 100, followed in success
slve years by 546,sS9, by 444, 427, by
455, ,3o2 and by 5eo,319. In 1892 there
was another great record, 623,os4, and
then successive drops to 502,e17, to 314,-
ACT and to 279,94S In 1896 there was a
rally to 343, ,207, succeeded, however, by
drops to 23O,s32 and to last years 229,-
300, while now the tide is turning again.
There Is good reason, too, to expect a
continuance OF the increase. or the last
years gains about half were in the two
final months, namely, 21 900 for May and
2o,676 for June. We may therefore pre-
sumo the gain will go on. Immigration Is
the countries from which the immigrants
come and by those they expect to find
here. AS early as last summer 1t became
evident that the war which had begun
during the previous fiscal year would be Of
short duration and would end in triumph
for us. BY autumn there were signs OF
general return OF prosperity to the coun-
try, and this spring that prosperity was
assured and was made known in other
countries as well as ours.
The question what employment can be
looked for here in farming or in tho
mechanical industries is, Of course, serl-
Gus one for those who want to try their
fortunes in the New World. Just now the
answer to that question Is favorable, and
we may look for flood tide in immigration
for some time to come.
