Bismarck and eortchakof.
New York Tribune.)


If there was a time when Bismarck
looked to Gortchakoff as his mentor in
diplomacy. the season of his pupilage
had an early ending. In a conversation
with Herr Memminger, editor of the
''Neue Bayerische Landeszeitung, af-
ter his retirement. he said: with re-
gard to Russia, 1 wished to preserve
peace, and in view of this great end
did not jump at certain things which
would have given excited and excitable
politicians cause for dissension. Ac-
cordingly, passed over the staggering
declarations of the vain Russian I'm
perial chancellor, Gortchakoff, who
prided himself on having. prevented us
from declaring war a second time on
France. 1 let him jabber on. What
have we to get either in or from Rus
STA? Even We're we completely TO con-
quer her we should at best have only
the turbulent Poles as neighbors, who
are as little fitted for a self governing
state organism as are the Jews today
to a new kingdom of Judea- There is
nothing to get out of Russia Ger
many is quite enough for us. We are
full up. Wir sind satt."

There are but five states in the Union
that have built nc new road during the
year, namely: New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Kansas and
Nevada, although it is probable that
the latter two may be represented
when the final returns are in. Three
states-Delaware, New Jersey and Yer
mont-have built but two miles each,
while Nebraska has added less than
one mile on a terminal line at Omaha
Thirteen states have built more than
100 miles each, Minnesota heading the
list with $50 miles, of which 146 miles
were built by the Great Northern. The
other twelve states, with their mileage,
are: Texas, 1873 miles; New Mexico, 1853
miles; Louisiana, 15S miles; Arkansas,
157 miles; Alabama, 154 miles: Okla
homa Territory, AT miles; Maine, 124
miles; North Carolina, 122 miles; Mis-
souri,, 120 miles; California, lis miles;
Georgia, 112 miles, and Pennsylvania,
100 miles. These thirteen states have
built over 1900 miles of road, and if we
include Arizona, which has added 99.4
miles, it will be seen that nearly two
thirds Of the new mileage of the coun-
try has been constructed in fourteen
states.
Utah is mentioned as having con-
structed 1910 miles during the past
year.

Omaha, Jan. 1.-The new fast mail
service was inaugurated in this city by
the departure of the new fast train
over the Burlington road at S:45 o'clock
today for Chicago. The train consisted
of one baggage and two mail cars,
which were filed with New Years
mail. The other cars will be added to
the train before it reaches Chicago, one
at Burlington and the other at Gales
burg, Ills. The schedule time of this
train is thirty minutes faster than the
time of each of the west-bound trains,
which are to compete for the big prize.
The Union Pacific's overland limited
mail arrived, according to the new
card, strictly on time. The transfer
to the Burlington was made in seven
teen minutes. Superintendent Wander
WORT of the Railway Mail Service, ac-
companied the train from Omaha to
do the handling of the matter.

DR.. |L|FF ON REVEALS
More of the 0ld-fashioned Kind
Needed.
METHODISM IS DORMANT
A GENERAL LACK OF DEEP
SPIRITUAL LIGHT.
Revivals Necessary In Business and
Commerce, Why Not In Religious
World = Church Has Wealth
Enough, But Lacks the old-time
Spirit-A Stirring Sermon.

DIR. T. c. Tiff preached at the First
Methodist church last night, and his
subject was "Old-t time Revival; the
Great Need of Modern Methodism-"
The church was crowded and the
speaker was never heard to better adj
vantage. There is a certain fire in the
preaching of DIP Tiff that stirs up a
congregation and as he impressed upon
his hearers the necessity for Old-time
faith and activity there was a glow in
the eloquence that carried conviction
with it.
The speaker thoroughly believes in
the old-fashioned Methodist conversion
by reyivals, and he has enough enthusi-
asm in his makeup to make an ideal
revivalist. He took his text found in
Acts xii, when, on PeEtecostal day, the
holy spirit descended in tongues Of fire
and settled upon the people, while the
unbelievers asked, What meaneth
this?"
L have heard it often, and seen it in
print, that the best days Of Methodism,
both in spiritual and educational
achievements, are in the past" he be-
gan. well, 1 think the mightiest mill
stone is the lack of deep spiritual
light The need of the Methodist
church is not greater wealth. not social

building churches, nor in the establish
ment of endowments. for in all these
spheres she is extremely active. but
that which will bring the church
up to it's past standard is old-time re-
yivals, as in the days of Pentecost.
A revival means TO live again, and
church may be spiritually dead. Elijah
prayed for the restoration of the
widows son; his appeal was answered
and life came back to take possession
of the dead body. There are revivals
in trade and commerce, and why
should not churches be subjected to the
revival influence when its activity
comes to a halt?
Il care not to discuss tonight" said
the speaker, whether revivals are nee
essary because of the fickleness of
