New York, September 5.-It was another

market an exceedingly strong undertone. After

A TEMPLE TlYEU.

There is a mild stir in Philadelphia
because the Baptist temple there has
been placed on the tax list, despite the
exemption Of church property. The
president of the board explains that the
temple Is kind of theater, The ex-
emption of the church was, he says, re-
voked because it was giving promiscu-
Gus entertainments in the church build
ing to which admission was had by the
purchase of tickets which were on sale
to the public just as tickets to any
other secular entertainment are Of
fered.
If all the meeting houses in which
theatrical performances are given were
taxed there would be more revenue
from taxation than there is.

HE CAN CHANGE HIS MIND.

utah correspondents of Boston wool
houses say that they have received per-
sonal assurances from William Jen-
nings Bryan that If elected president he
will retain protective duty on wool,
having changed his mind on free wool"
So says the Boston Commercial Bull
letin in its weekly review Of the wool
markets.
Brother Bryan can change his mind.
And, moreover, he has changed his
mind. This revelation is most i'm
pressive one. Awhile ago it seemed
that, however changeable the minds Of
Others might be, the mind of William
Jennings Bryan would not change. Yet
here he is in favor of free wool. Can
it be that this change is preliminary to
another and a greater change? Shall
we soon hear that Brother Bryan be-
lieves there are more important things
in the world than 16 to 1?

Have patience, Lord, little yet.

We watch Thy slowly grinding mills
Mete out to us our just reward.
To-day, by foemen sore beset.
Dlsmayed we draw out destined lot
We prayed to Thee LEST we forget"
And, even as we prayed, forgot.
With foolish, rash, vainglorIous words
And sorry self-sufficiency
We boosted. girding on our swords,
As those who laid their armour by.
Wherefore the curse upon us lies
OF warriors all unready found,
OF braggarts blinded to despise
Their foe before the trumpet's sound
Humbly we call upon Thy Name.
Ere sounds Gnce more the grim assault,
We do confess o Lord, with shame,
Our fault, our very grievous fault.

or idle brag and empty boast,
So shall we stand erect again
And face unmoved the hostile host.

VIEW CANADIAN COMPETITION.

The Canadian Pacific railroad is a
troublesome competitor of United States
railroads. and those railroads are now
to have more competition from Canada.
900, of which $5O,0OO,0O0 has. gone to the
st. Lawrence system, including the Wei
land canal, which gives access from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The traffic,
however, has been small. Since 1885
the traffic has varied between 100000
and 100000 tons year. If the freight
rates were proportional to a fair rate
of interest on the cost of the canals
they would be prohibitory. But there is
now a prospect of better results. with
the completion of the new Soulanges
canal, says the Engineering News,
depth of fourteen feet of water is secur-
ed from the upper lakes to Montreal,
and a determined effort will be made to
draw export traffic in this direction in
competition with the lake and railroad
routes to United States ports. A syndi-
cate has obtained from the Montreal
Harbor commissioners lease of a site
for grain elevators and storage ware
houses, and has agreed, according to
newspaper reports, to bring at least u.s.
100000 bushels of grain to Montreal dur
ing it's first season Of operation and at
least 100000 bushels during each fol-
lowing season. The plan is to transfer
the grain at Port Colborne from the
steamers bringing it down from the up
per lake ports to special boats built to
pass through the Welland and st. Law
renee canals.
The railroads Of the United States
have been able to take care of them
selves so far, and they will probably
continue to be able to. But this new
seems likely to affect them
