REPENTANCE 1HE REMEDY.


From the creation onward hath
man learned that for evil deeds there
must be an atonement, and that re-
NOSE is the sure follower of sin. To
time without end shall this remain
as fixed as the laws of the Medes and
Persians. Just as surely shall
every wrong done to others, or to ma
ture, pay its penalty as shall the stone
that is cast into the air fall again to
the earth. Even as the sons of man
who have borne false witness shall
feel impelled to sojourn in strange
lands, and far from their kindred, yet
also there shall their sins rise up
against them, and the mark of Cain
be recognized. Meanwhile the de-
generate son who remaineth shall
perambulate the crooked ways of his
native heath, bewailing his past and
present association with evil and un-
godly men, while i'm agony tearing
his hair he seeks consolation inappli-
cation to himself of the text contained
in Luke 8: 5S. May we in all kind
ness suggest to him as well as to
them that evil deeds repented and
confessed in proper spirit are half
atoned, and that this is the best meth
cd by far TO quiet an uneasy and ev-
er accusing conscience. II.

Some Census Facts.

The population of this country has
increased over thirteen millions in
the past ten years and the United
States is now in the second rank
among the worlds great powers. In
1900 it stood eighth and at the bottom
of the list in population. The census
shows that there are in round num-
bers five million eight hundred thous-
and separate farms in the United
States and territories and about six
hundred thousand manufacturing
institutions, an increase in ten years
of one hundred and fifty thousand
plants. The increase of manufactor-
les in the West and South has been
remarkable.
The center of population is in In
diana west Of Columbus. In 1900 it
was 23 miles east of Baltimore and
has shifted almost due West at the
rate of 40 to 60 miles each decade eX-
cept from 1850 to 1860 when it moved
West by north 81 miles.
A trifle less than one-fourth of the
population of the whole country dwell
in 159 cities having 20, 600 inhabitants
and over.
Rhode Island, the smallest of the
states, leads in density of population,
supporting 395 persons to the square
mile. She has less than two acres
of area to each inhabitant and in New
York and Pennsylvania then are
about four, Navada, with an area
more than twice as large as either OF
these states, has 1000 acres to each
inhabitant.

BRYAN'S APOLOGIES.

1--WE made an honest fight upon
ali honest platform. So says Mr.
Bryan in his short address of condo
leuce to himself and to the rest of
his party
Honesty Is an unfortunate word
to the use of the Democratic plat
form. The people held it for a plat
form of dishonesty and voted it
down.
Nor was Mr.. Bryan S fight more
honest. It was not honest for him
to slur over or evade the silver
question after having been Sixteen
to-One monomaniac for four years
and after refusing to take the nomi
nation if his hobby was not empha-
sized in the Chicago platform.
1t was not honest for him to speak
again and again of the limited coin
age of silver under existing law as
If it were the free and unlimited
coinage of sill yer.
1t was not honest for him to attack
the Treaty of Paris and its results
after it had been ratified by means
of his efforts in its behalf with DEM
ocratic Senators.
1t was not honest to accuse the
Republicans of wishing to build forts
near the great cities for the purpose
of intimidating them. 1t was not
honest to pretend that an army of
American soldiers could be a menace
to the liberty of their country.
1t was not honest for him to give
his hearers to understand that there
is one law for the petty thief and
another law for the big thief It.
was not honest to assert that if he
were elected presidet he would drive
all the trusts ont of business. 1t
was not honest to seek to frighten
parents into believing that their
children would have no chance of
an Independent and successful
career on account of the trusts. 1t
was not honest to deny and discred-
it the prosperous condition of the
country.
In short, there was mighty little
that was honest in Mr. Bryan s cam
paign speeches which were thorough
ly saturated with demagogy, mis-
statement and suggestions of false
hood. His assertions in 1900 were
just as trustworthy as his prophec-
les in 1896. Much good nature has
been wasted on Mr.. Bryan's suppos-
ed honesty of conviction and pur-
pose. His course this year has
shown that he is only a shallow
trimmer with an inexhaustible thirst
for talk and office. The man is es-
sentially hollow, artificial and theat-
rical. If he seems honest and sim
cere to himself, it is only because
like many tragic comedians of pri-
vate life, he is the dupe of his own
acting. Besides, he has talked so
long that words must have lost their
definite shape and color for him.
We have no wish to judge him Sc
verely, and reflection are pleas in
abatement for him; but when he
talks about his "honest" fight, re-
membranoe of his months of mis-
representations and evasion rises in
every impartial mind.--N Y. San.

he was sentenced to pay half the costs

failing to do so within the required

son. The matter was adjusted Mon
day and he was released.

When a man yells before he is hit
it is usually because he knows he
deserves to be hit, That is about
what is the matter with the Demo
Gratis who are bowling about the in
tention of the-Republicans at this
session of Congress to pass reap
portionment bill reducing the rep
resentation of those Southern states
which have DISTINGUISHED a large
portion of their voters. They know
that the Republicans in Congress
have the power to do this thing and
they fear it will be exercised, as il
would be by the Democrats if the
conditions were reversed. If the
Republican leaders have any inten-
tion of putting such legislation
through Congress, they are not Civ.
ing any indication of it at this time,
although few of them have public.
ly said that it would be no more
than just punishment for those
states. 1t is not at all likely, how
ever, that the punishment will be
administered.

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will at once begin consider.
ing the question of reporting a bill
to reduce the internal revenue taxa
tion. and Senator Aldrich, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Finance
will call a meeting of that commit
tee for the same purpose. Senator
Aldrich lsaid of the probable act
ion of his committee "It is impos-
sible at this time TO say whether we
can accomplish anything in the way
of reduction. We hope to do so,
but how much the amount will BE-
or what direction we viii take in Sc
curing the reduction, cannot be pre-
dicted until the Committe gets to
gether and carefully reviews the in-
formation which is to be furnished
by the Treasury Department. -
Secretary tiage estimates the
surplus Of the present fiscal year at
$50. 900, 900. and that of the year
beginning July l, 1901. at 10000

continuation of present internal
revenue taxes.

Attorney General Griggs is the
only member of the Cabinet who
has yet declined the Presidents s
pressing invitation TO the entire
Cabinet to retain their portfolios uu-
der his second administration, aud
his declination was based upon per-
sonal reasons-he is poor man and
feels that he cannot afford to remain
in Office where it costs him more to
live than the salary he receives,
when there is lucrative law prac-
tice awaiting his attention. There
are two other members OF the Cabi-
net who are wavering between their
personal desire to retire and their
wish to please the President by re-
naming in Office, while it is under
stood that the other four have decid.
ed to accept the Presidents invita-
tion, although they have not form
ally done SO.

There is much anxiety in Wash
ington because of the serious illness
of Senator Davis, of Mimi. In adj

of his many able qualities, there is
a feeling that his counsel will be
needed during the coming session of
Congress. His long experience as a
member of aud as chairman of the
Senate Committee on foreign rela-
tiOns has made him an authority on
everything pertaining to the foreign
relations of this government.

tion of knowing it has cnred thous-

The G. 4 Convention.

The fourteenth annual convention
OF the Pennsylvania Christian En-
deavor Union which met in Philadel-
phia this week was largely attended
by delegates. This is a sign that the
organization has a vital power which
is on the increase in its influence for
good. The idea which was originat-
ed by Rev. Francis +. Clark, ID. D.,
pastor of a church in Portland, Me-,
and which had an original member
ship of less than fifty has spread rap
idly and with a fervent, protent, spir-
itual effort. In fifteen years the
movement had extended to nearly
every foreign country and missionary
land, was endorsed by thirty-twC
Christian denominations, with over
forty-three thousand societies organ
lied and membership Of over two
and half millions, which has since
greatly increased. These association:
of young people endeavoring to VI
lift themselves spiritually have be
come truly universal, their members
astonish, their councils and conven
tions are ecumenical and the organic
alton represents visibly a practica
union of Christianity which suggest
the vast good which may be inheren
in the united efforts of different sect
working in harmony for a common
end.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To clean unvarnished black wal
nut rub it with a soft flannel cloth
which has been wrung out of either
sweet or sour milk.
When the children's stockings be-
gin to get thin on the knees, put
pieces Of old stockings or of soft flan-
mel ON the wrong sido and secure in
place with fine stitches. Do this be-
fore holes come, and the hose will
wear much longer.
In buying carpets it is excellent
econamy to cover the floors of two or
three rooms with the same kind and
pattern. Gradually the wear will re-
duce it to covering for two rooms
and then for one, but it has lasted
much longer than if the rooms had
been covered differently.
HOW TO MAKE CABBRGE SALAD.
Shred quarter of a cabbage as
fine as the petals of chysanthemum.
Remove the seeds from two sweet
green peppers of medium size and
slice one medium sized onion as thin
as possible. Mix these ingredients
together and lay them lightly in
salad bowl. Surround them with
quarters of tomatoes. Pour a dres-
sing over all composed ofoil, vinegar
salt and pepper, and serve.
HOW TO MAKE OAT MEAL FINGERS.
Make four ounces of oatmeal into
a paste that is fairly stiff with two
ounces of butter, a little salt and a
gill of milk. Roll this out three
quarters of an inch thick and cut in
to fingers. Heat frying pan, lay
the fingers in and bake them, turning
them to cook each side. If these are
re put into the oven, they will be-
come like pie crust merely. Serve
them very hot and crisp.

whether it will be the Hepburn Mic

House at the last session and which
was by resolution of tie Senate
